An alarm was sent in from box

hook and ladder company 201 re-
sponded. The firemen, with an ex-
tinguisher, put it out. but not before
the automobile had been damaged to
the extent of several hundreds of
dollars.
The machine was in the ferry house
and 1t was feared for time that the
gasoline tank might explode, and do
other damage.
The race was watched by many
people on the train and 1t is said
that several bets were made on the
result.

ATTENDANCE is LARGE
Percentage of Enrolment 97.7 Dur
ing September in Schools.

Superintendent Shull, of the public
schools, said yesterday that the total
enrolment is now 1923. Last year,
on October l., 1t was 4,105, which
shows an increase this year of 524.
During the month of September
the percentage of daily attendance
was 97.7, which is the most remark
able in the history of the local
schools. Superintendent Shull says
that such thing has never been
known before. The large percentage
means that almost the entire enroll
ment. was present every day.
The attendance In the high school
during the past month was also even
more remarkable, as a careful exam
ination yesterday showed the per-
centage to be 98.5.
Superintendent Shull is now max
ing out his monthly report, which is
very creditable one, and he will
read it at regular meeting of the
Board of Education next Thursday
night. The excellent attendance also
proves the crowded conditions in all
of the buildings.
A teachers meeting was held in
the high school yesterday afternoon.

EXCISE BOARD
HANDLESMANY
APPLICATI IONS
Grant Several Renewals and Lay
Number of Requests for Ii
CenseS Over Under RuIeS.
NOT SUSPEND RULES
Such Action Is Suggested in Order
TO Act on One or Two AppIica-
tions, but, Being Deemed Fart
ial, Is Not Taken.

At a monthly meeting of the Board
of Excise Commissioners last night,
in city hall, ten renewals of licenses
and two transfers were granted, an
unusually large mum Der of new ap-
plications were received and laid over.
The applications. for renewals of
the licenses of Hans Lehman, 62
Buckingham avenue, and Joseph
Fecycz, So Mechanic street, were not
acted upon, as they were not proper
ly before the board. They had not
been advertised the required length
of time, owing to the fact that the
men had neglected to send in their
applications. AS their licenses ex-
pire on October 4, it is probable that
the places will be closed up by the
police on that date, unless the board
can be persuaded to hold a special
meeting. If closed they must remain
SO for a month.
President Mulchahey said he would
entertain motion that the rules of
the board be suspended and the above
applications be taken up and balloted
for. AS none of the commissioners
made such a motion, no action was
taken
The following transfers were unan-
imously granted: Mrs. A. Peterson
TO Christian Gassman, 2S Smith
street; and John Szunyog to John Ell
kovics, 83 Cortlandt street Immed-
lately following the granting of this
transfer, the new owner was granted
a renewal of his license at that place.
Nine other renewals were granted
The application of Frank Przyby-
loski for a saloon in West Side ave-
nue. was held up, to await decision
of the city attorney. The application
is for a place which was formerly
kept by Mrs. Betcher. AS the license
has been lapsed for more than q
month, it is regarded as a new appli-
cation. The saloon is said to be with
in 200 feet of a church, and the law
does not permit the granting of
new license within that limit. This
matter was referred to the judiciary
committee. who will consult the city
attorney.
The new application of Andrew
Matey for a saloon at Neville and
Jaques streets was, under the rules,
laid over The application for sa-
loon of William Harding. 10 Hall
avenue, in the place formerly kept
by d. Splitter, was likewise laid over.
Like action was taken on the appli-
cation of Carl Mabel for saloon at
327 State street, in the place former
ly operated by William .Howley, and
those of James Osterhout, 311 State
street, and John E. Peterson for a
saloon at 130 Front street, corner OF
Smith
When the new application of Paul
M. Woitscheck, for a saloon at "a
Amboy avenue came up, Commission
er Walker made a motion that the
rules of the board be suspended and
the application be taken up and ball
loted on. President Mulchahey OBJ
iected to that course, as he claimed
no discrimination should be 81 own
and, If that application was granted,
the others would have to take SIM
liar course. The commissioner with
drew his motion.
