UNGALLANT MONTCLAIR.

The election in Montclair was very
quiet, only about two-thirds Of the
voters exercising their franchise. The
most interesting features We're the can

Montclair, n the "police bill" Mrs.
Mills was defeated by Elmer Fl. Neff.
the Republican candidate for the Board
of Education, by 1876 votes. He received
$40 votes, while Mrs, Mills received 434.
That her friends worked hard for her
is shown by the fact that while Shoen-
thai for surrogate ran ahead Of his
ticket, he received 1913 votes less than
Mrs. Mills.
1t Is doubtful if there is anyone bet
ter pleased than Mr.. and Mrs. Mills
over the esult of the election. She
was forced into the race against her
own and her husbands wishes. Mrs.
Mills believes that women should be
represented on the Board of Educa-
ton, out she actually favored the nomi.

Upper Montclair. Yesterday morning
Mrs. Mills started for New York, where
she spent the day quietly with friends.

declare that the fight will be kept up
each year until women are represented
ON the board.
The voters of Montclair declared 10

EPSTEIN GETS
SOUND BEATING
IN EAST ORANGE
But Other Republican Candi-
dates Win Out Easily--ShOen-
thai Runs Well.

School Commissioner Jacob NJ. Epp-
stein, of East Orange, received a re-
buke for his attitude on the high school
site yesterday, when Frederick w. Gar
vim defeated him for reelection. re-
ceiving a majority of PA in what had
been the most strenuous local fight
ever waged.
even in two districts of the Third
ward, which Eppstein represented,
where voting machines were used and
did not contain Garvin's name. Epp-
stein was defeated by a majority of 6,
and in the third district, where the
Democrats worked in exchange with
the Republicans in the surrogate con-
test, Eppstein was badly scratched.
There were 1.036 votes cast In the ward.
Early in the afternoon when workers
for Mr.. Garvin got busy in the rooms
of the Republican Club getting out more
ballots, President William G. Thomas,
who was defeated himself when he tried
to secure the nomination again
for the School Board, ordered the room
being used cleared. and his action ex-
cited comment. But the Garvinites
were not to be denied, and prominent
men from the Second ward came over
to the Third to work for Mr.. Garvin,
who is opposed to the Parkway site
and who believes in an addition to the
present school.
Every other Republican candidate in
the city was easily elected. Council
man Frank J. Greer, candidate on both
tickets in the First ward, received a
total of 635. and Councilman Horace A.
Bonnell, Fifth ward; Councilman John
Leonard Merrill, who was opposed in
the Second ward by Richard L. Tobin,
received a total of 562, and Tobin got
1923. Councilman Frank Bancroft. OPP
posed in the Third by Victor Melchoir,
received $50 votes, and the Democratic
candidate polled 242. Councilman
George A. Grover received sos in the
Fourth, and his opponent, John Nc
Quirk, 1873.
School Commissioner Robert NJ. Cra-
ter was easily reelected in the Second
ward, receiving 534, and Commissioner
Henry L. Cadmus was reelected in the
First. He received 664 votes. ?
The new members of the board and
number of votes received were: John

W. Garvin, Third ward, 655: Frank e.

tire of Republicanism, and Major Sheen
thai made a surprising run. In the
Third district of the Third ward, by
trading votes for Frederick w. Garvin
for Shoenthal votes with the Republi-
cans, the Democrats were able to de-
feat George e. Russell. Shoenthal got
1872 votes there. while Russell received
but 139.
In the entire city Russell received
3,025 votes and Shoenthal 1,34s. William
Lee, the highest man on the Republican
Assembly ticket, polled 3,4S4, and John

~HARRISON--EAST NEWARK.


A serious accident was averted only
by inches yesterday afternoon at Harri-
son avenue and Fourth street, Harri-
son. when an automobile and a trolley.
car came very near crashing into one
another. The car was of the Kearny
line and was rounding the curve. The
automobile, the owners name of which
could not be learned, came west on
Harrison avenue at a pretty good clip.
Whether or not the chauffeur became
confused is not known, but instead of
slowing up he kept on, and when ar
accident seemed unavoidable he steered
up over a sewer basin, nearly o%verturn-
ing the machine. The automobile then
went up Fourth street to Cleveland ave-
nue. and along the latter thoroughfare
towards Newark. The passengers in
the car were badly frightened.

changes the atmosphere in the room
every seven minutes, has been in
stalled, and there is not drinking
cup in the building, the drinking
fountain having taken the place of
cups, which renders that part of
the building entirely sanitary and
clean.
The school board is entertaining
fears that the city will realize as
great congestion of the schools for
the coming year as was the expert
ence met with last year, notwith-
standing the erection of the new
building, which is already full to it's
capacity. 1t is believed that when
the school census for the new year is
completed, that the number of school
children in Salem will aggregate
1000 pupils, if not a greater num-
ber. Last year the census showed
3230 school children. This surpris-
ing increase attests the wonderful
growth of Salem within one year, as
it is an established fact that unless
a city continues to grow, the schools
will lnot show any increase in attend
ance.
owing to these conditions the
school board has appointed w. p.
Babcock, chairman and Directors
Millard and Moores as a special COM
mittee to locate a site for a proposed
new school building. The commit
tee will report at the next regular
meeting. 1t is not known as yet
where the site will be. but it is
more than likely that the northeast
section of the city will be selected.
The schools at present are beginning
to overflow. The North Salem school
is probably the most congested, that
institution having so pupils in some
of the rooms, which is far above the
average number for a single room.
The school board is determined To
remedy this inconvenience as quickly
as possible, and is standing prepared
to act at the slightest intimation or
probability of a crush for room.
