PRIVATE ALARM GAVE J..
FACTORY FIRE WARNING,

That the private alarm system used
by the Robinson-Rode Company, OF 81
New Jersey Railroad avenue, whose
factory was visited by fire on Tuesday
morning last, performed its duty was
authoritatively stated today. A state
ment given a STAR reporter al the
time by a motorman to the effect that
she had pulled h private alarm-box
after others had unsuccessfully tried
to do so is ~discredited.
At fire headquarters box 319 (the
private alarm-box) is registered first,
followed closely by an alarm from box
519, a public box. The second alarm
was received by telephone. 1t may have
been that the motorman pulled the
public box, but, according to the fac
tory employees, ne did not pull the
private box, which was pulled by a
foreman on the second floor. The
motorman ran in the factory. but was
told that his help was not needed.

Patrolman Fred Charpentier, of the
Fifth Precinct, is today being warmly
commended for his courage in stopping
a runaway horse on Fifth street when
to have failed would have caused seri-
oIs injury and possible death to a
group of children who were directly in
the path Of the maddened animal.
The horse. which belonged to An
tonic Collela, of 56 Hickory street, Or
ange, became frightened while standing
in front of 495 South Fourth street and
Fifth street, The animal sweryed sud-
denly and sped down that street, bear
ing down upon the children, who, un-
conscious of their peril, romped in the
middle Of he street.
Carpenter, with quick wit, gripped
the neck of the flying horse and
diverted his course from the playing
children.
For half a block the policeman vas
dragged by the 1nfuriated beast until
the horse, weakened by his own efforts
came to a standstill, with the patrol
mans arms tightly gripped about his
neck.
Collela, the owner of the horse,
wanted to reward the officer, but the
latter refused. Thereupon Collela went

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 11.-An
Ideal me too Senator is the manner
In which Senator La Toilette in his
magazine, issued today, refers to Sena-
tor John Kean, of New Jersey. The
editorial is given that title and Sem
ator Kean's record on the tariff ques-
tion is expounded in detail. The edi-
torial says in part:
Senator John Kean. like the trusts,
comes from New Jersey. He was born
in New Jersey. bred in New Jersey
and except for a few years spent in
college. he has always lived in New
Jersey.
.He is a typical representative of
New Jersey big business and it is
because he is a representative of New
Jersey big business and because of his
wealth that he is q Senator of the
Trited States.
"He is president of the National State
Bank, of Elizabeth, N. j., and vice
president Of the Manhattan Trust Com
pany, of New York. Kean is a typical
+business Senator
His speciality is that OF making
timely motions to adjourn OF to go into
aecret session to consider appointments.
"Kean's faithfulness to The Aldrlen
management of the Senate is equaled
10y that of few Senators.
'sUnder the rule governing Senate

service, Kean would not be entitled TO
much recognition in this direction. Nor

SAGE FOUNDATION SPEAKER
NEWARK SCHOOL IDEA
Summer Fairgrounds Are High
ly Praised.

Clarence A. Perry, who has charge
0 the school plant utilization inquiry
of tile Russell Sage Foundation, last
night in a speech at Peekskill, n. Y,
gave unstinted praise to the Newark
Board of Education for its work III
making the most of time and available
space by utilizing school buildings for
auditoriums in winter and school yards
for Fairgrounds in the summer.
Last summer they ran seventeen
Fairgrounds" said Mr.. Perry, referring
to the local school authorities, "all of
them equipped with apparatus and
having an average of seven teachers for
each yard. Their program of sports,
games and athletics is worked u in
great detail. The summers work culmi-
mates in an imposing exhibition at
Branch Brook Park, where 5000 chill
dren swing clubs, manipulate wands,
jump bucks, give folk dances Inc per-
form various other athletic feats for
the benefit of their parents and friends.
The pupils get perhaps the keenest
pleasure from the folk dances. AS they
throw themselves into the shoemaker's
dance, highland fling or whirl about in
the ~tarentella the joy depicted on their
childish faces leaves no doubt as to the
healthfui effects of these rhythmic ex-
ercises."

this is a problem to be solved only IN
one way-by a policy which, while ex

COMMISSIONER
LECTURES ON EDUCATION.
Edgar r. Brown Tells of Its De-
veIOpment in Newark.

A lecture dealing with educational de-
velopment in Newark was delivered by
Edgar r. Brown, of the Board of Edu-
cation, before a meeting of the Parents
Association of the Elliott and Ridge
Street Schools las night.
Mr.. Brown gave a brief review of
education in Newark. He read extracts
from the minutes of the first town
meeting held here February 7, 1877,
showed that a great interest was taken
in education at that early date, and
had continued until the present. The
speaker also called attention to the
comparatively few officers of the Schooi
Board. During the last half century
said Mr.. Brown, there have been but
five presidents and six secretaries"
Speaking of the different boards, Mr..
Brown assured his hearers that they
always contained men who were In
terested in higher education and that
they had put forth every effort to give
the city the greatest educationa. adj
vantages.

WOULD MODIFY ARMY RIDING
TESTS OF col. ROOSEVELT.
Conditions Can Be Improved
Says General Bell.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-How deter
mined army officers are to procure
notifications of the Roosevelt physical
tests was shown today in the annual
report of General.J Franklin Bell, chief
of staff. Riding tests and physical
training should not be abolished" says
he, but conditions connected Herewith
can undoubtedly be improved"
He announces that notifications Of
the system Suggested by experience,
shortly will be made to the secretary of
war. While General Bell does not out
line what these notifications will be,
1t is believed they will provide that Off
GERS serving In the tropics and officers
about to retire on account of age shall
be excused from taking the tests and
possibly for providing horses for de-
tached officers to use in taking monthly
rides.
A most important matter for the gen.
eral welfare of the country, General
Bell says, Is the Massage of q con ..re-
hensive measure for the orgsniza.son
of a volunteer army, to be raised c.lfy
after Congress has made ad eclaration
of war.
