CONDUCTOR COMPLAINS
OF IRATE PASSENGER.
Obtains Warrant for Man Who
Was Abusive Over Transfer.

Harry Jacobus, of So Abbotsford
street, a conductor on the South Orange
line, appeared In the Third Precinct
Court today to lodge a complaint
against Myer Benisch. of 8 and 5 Rail
road avenue.
According to Jacobus's story, Benisch
got on his car yesterday at Ferry
street, pcid his fare and asked for a
transfer on McWhorter street. The
company's rules, however, forbid the
issuing of any transfer to another line
when the two cars are using the same
tracks. Jacobus explained this to
Benisch, saying that If he wanted to go
down McWhorter street he should have
taken a Kinney street or a Springfield
avenue car.
Benisch became angry and started to
abuse the conductor, finally asking him
to return his fare, which the con-
ductor refused to do, as Benisch had
already ridden quite a distance, and,
besides, the car was of the pay-as-you-
enter type.
At this the irate Benisch became still
more abusive, and finally, jumping off
the car, took the conductors hat with
him, saying hat he would get FIVE
cents worth of something, anyway.
Patrolman Schumacher saw the act
and persuaded Benisch to return the
hat, which he did, after some argument.
Judge Hahn said Jacobus was per-
fectly right, and ordered a warrant
issued for Benisch.

1.-THE testimony must show said the
recorder, that the defendants used
loud and indecent language. If they
were merely talking to each other then
they are not guilty. If one said TO the
defendant that she Is a r~ubberneck. or
charged that she used face powder,
that In itself does not convict them
as being disorderly persons. Rubber
neck is not a bad word in that respect.

MEETING FOR
HIGH SCHOOL SITE
East Orange Board of Education
to Sound Public Sentiment
on the Matter.

The East Orange Board of Educa-
ton last night passed a lengthy reso-
luton authorizing the holding of a
mass-meeting under its auspices in
Ashland School auditorium next
Thursday night, to give citizens an
opportunity to vent their views on the
boards action in deciding to build o
new high school in Arlington avenue,
north. 1t was offered by Commissioner
Robert Crater.
The resolution also called for the ap-
pointment of a committee of three to
meet with a special committee of three
from the City Council TO have a CON
ference n endeavor to come to an
amicabie agreement regarding a site.
Commissioners Eppstein, Crater and
Wilson were named to serve by Pres
ident Sill.
Three years activity on the boards
part to build a high school were re-
ferred to in the resolution, which
seemed to have been prepared by a
lawyer. 1t was quickly seconded and
passed without a dissenting vote.
Commissioner Thomas declared a
certain set of men and councilmen
had poisoned the citizens minds rela-
tive to the boards plan.
I'm the past we have had the best
element of the city with u.s. said he,
land praised previous acts of the body.
A certain number of men have placed
a doubt in their minds now regarding
our acts, and the setting forth of our
position in, these resolutions will clari-
fly the situation.
THE City Council has held aloof from
us and created a sentiment against the
beard that is unjust and unfair, and
have gone so far as to have an AK
ready Ger every member of the board
who comes up for rejection and who
will not pledge himself against the
Arlington avenue site. 1t Is outrageous.
Often l have decided not to try for re-
election, but now l am determined to
run, and l will stand with you until
this question is settled, so as to be just
to you and the citizens who have placed
their trust in me for the past sixteen
years. L am not afraid to go before the
people for reelection
The passage of the resolution is
taken to indicate that if the citizens
vote against the Arlington avenue site
the board will change its position and
decide to build in Walnut street, back
of the present school. Mayor Cardweli
today signed the resolution giving the
Council power to appeal against the
local board to the State Board of Edu-
cation, and according to the decision
of Chief Justice Gummere the appeal
must be taken next week or a writ OF
mandamus will be granted by him.
