GROUNDS

SCHOOL ASSURED
Board of Education Decides to
Make Appropriation and
Proceed with the Work.

After much discussion regarding the
legality of appropriating 1926 for the
purpose of building a running track
and baseball diamond on the property
in the rear of the Orange High School
before they heard from the board of
school estimate. the Orange Board OF
Education decided last night to proceed
with the work. Because of the small
amount of competition among Orange
dealers IT was decided to advertise bids
for school coal supply in the local
papers.
Miss Grace V. Corell. elocution
teacher in the High School, asked for
a leave of absence for one year dur
ing which she intends to travel
throughout the West. and visit her par
ents In Japan. The board was of the
opinion that Miss Corell, would be
benefited by her contemplated journey.
but could not see its way clear to re
serve her present position. The fact
that the new addition to the Lincoln
Avenue School ~utilizes almost every
foot OF ground ON the property and
coInpels the school children to play
on the streets or adjacent lots, led to a
discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of pur-
chasing land In that vicinity to use for
q playground for the children during
school hours.

He Was Driving and
Breaks His Leg.
CAUGHT IN THE Betting,
VICARIS HAS ARM HURT
Both Injured Men Brought in
Harrison Ambulances to Hos
pitfalls in Newark.

John Casey, of 403 Bank street, was
taken to st. Miehaers Hospital in the
Harrison police ambulance today, suf-
fering from injuries received by falling
from a wagon belonging to John O'Con-
nor, a Harrison expressman. Casey was
employed by O'Connor as a driver, and
was at Middlesex and Third streets,
Harrison, when the accident occurred
At the hospital this afternoon 1t was
said that, besides a broken leg, Casey
was badly shaken up, and will be con
fined TO the institution for some days
While working on a pulley in the
Hyatt Roller bearing Company, Harri-
son, today, James Vicaris. 21 years old,
of 5 Prospect street, Newark, had his
right arm caught in the betting and
pulled around with it. When his arm
reached the wheel the belt flew off,
throwing Vicaris to the floor. The fact
that the belt came off saved the man
from possible serious injury. As it is,
his right arm is broken in two places
and his head is badly cut. He is now in
st. James's Hospital. Newark. where
he was taken in the Harrison police
ambulance.
The Harrison police got a call to
send the ambulance to Middlesex and
Fourth streets. that town, late yester-
day. the informing party saying that
there was a badly injured man at that
place. The ambulance, in charge of
Patrolman Walsh. was hurried to the
corner above mentioned, but no one was
there.

CLEARS OSBORNE
Of BLAME FOR
JOHNSONS HORTAGE
Former Judge Skinner Protests
Against implications Contained
in Auditor Report.
ASKS BLOOMFIELD COUNCIL
TO REJECT STATEMENTS
Vote Vindicates Town Treasurer
of Any Responsibility for
Former Clerks Action.

T In behalf of Town Treasurer Harry
L. Osborne, of Bloomfield. who. he de.
clared, had been injured in statements
contained in a report rendered to the
Town Council by Auditor John Monll,
former Judge Alfred r. skinner las
night requested that the statements in
question be %expunged from the docu-
ment. Mr.. Skinner said that Mr.. Mouf's
report intimated that Mr.. Osborne was
In a measure to blame for the recent
shortage in former Town Clerk john
sons accounts. He protested against
blaming Mr.. Osborne for the fact that
johnson kept a separate account in the
National Bank under the name of Will
lam L. johnson, town clerk. and drew
checks against it which it was alleged
he had used personally. IF the mayor
had ordered the account discontinued
and this was not done by the old town
clerk, the responsibility for that fact
rested upon the shoulders of the mayor.
said MI. Skinner. and Mr.. Osborne was
not to blame at all.
According to Mr.. Skinner the auditor
was unfortunate in some of the ex-
pressions used in the report, as it i'm
piled that Mr.. Osborne was largely to
blame for the fact that a chance was
given the town clerk to use the funds.
Mr.. Skinner denied that Mr.. Osborne
could be held in any way responsible,
and said that he was a painstaking and
honest official. who had served the
town long and well. He asked that the
auditors report. so far as statements
regarding Mr.. Osborne. be rejected.
Councilman Farrand made a motion
to that effect. which was seconded by
Councilman Unangst. The latter de-
clared that he believed Mr.. Monll had
gone farther in the matter than he had
been directed by the Council to do, his
instructions having been to audit the
of the town only,
Councilman Murray was in favor Of
sending the report back for correction,
but the original motion prevailed,
Councilmen Unangst, Farrand, Chabot,
Hummel and Walker voting for 1t. Mr..
Murray voted no. The report will there
fore not appear on the minutes.

CHURCH
EXTENDS FORMAL
GALL TO STEEN
Orange Presbyterians Want
New Yorker for Pastor--His
Answer Expected Sunday.

At a congregational meeting OF the
members of the Hillside Presbyterian
Church, Orange, last night, a call was

TO succeed his brother, the late Rev.
Robert. Steen, who died suddenly one

The Rev. DR.. Stanley White, secre-
ttary of the Presbyterian Board OF

Steen preached in the Hillside Church
Sunday before last, when he made a
most favorable impression.

.FOUR-f|FTHS OF
EMPLOYERS UNFIT
TO HIRE WOMEN
Miss Elizabeth Flynn Outlines
Hardships to Which Shop
girls Are Subjected.
ADDRESSES lRvINGTON
BRANCH OF SOCIALISTS
Progress of Woman in the In
dustries Outlined from Time
She Entered Them.

A history of woman's work in in
dustry was given by Miss Elizabeth
G. Flynn, of New York, in q lecture
before Brcnch I%rvington of Socialists
in the Drake building. Irvington, last
night. Her audience was large.
Woman's Industrial condition in this
country was considered as developed
during three periods. the colonial
period, the intermediary period from
1880 TO 1860, and the present period. The
first period found the woman, by toll
ing at home, in spinning, weaving and
sewing, laying the foundations for the
subsequent industrial institutions which
have driven her to the mill, the factory
and the sweatshop. The second period
was classified as that when invention
temporarily benefited women by OPEN
ing many channels of industry at fair
remuneration which enabled many of
the sex to escape the drudgery and
hardship of home toll.
The third period came upon woman
at the close Of the Civil War, when
owing to the loss of the husbands sup
port through his death or disability
she was forced to seek Industrial fields
of her own and frequently for his sup
port. Gail Hamilton at this period
urged women to enter into all skilled
occupations. and this influx into the
domain of what had previously been
mans occupation tended TO the reduc-
ton of wages.
The simultaneous introduction of the
sewing machine, not as an instrument
to tighten her burdens and enable her
to share the benefits of it's labor-sav-
ing virtues, but as a keen competitor
decreasing the demand for her labor,
brought poverty and misery to woman
at the time. In New York women
working in cellars could command only
seven cents apiece for sewing, shirts.
Miss Flynn dwelt in detail upon the
hardships endured by the servant girl.
the department store saleswoman, and
the women workers in the clothing and
textile industries. She declared that
four-fifths of the people who hired SER
wants We're not fit to hire beasts of
burden; that the department store m
ployees was compelled to dress we'll,
work standing all day and was COM
PEELED to pay fines out of her paltry in
come for hardness and slight infrac-
lions of rules.
In conclusion Miss Flynn declared
that woman by cooperation instead of
competition must emancipate herself
from present industrial conditions.

Discover Treasure Trove
When the Ceiling Falls In

Great was the mourning thereat, but,
after gathering up the fragments the
family were puzzled to find knives,
forks and spoons scattered all over.
None of the articles belonged to them,
and on examining them it was seen
that they were of the kind used many
years ago being smaller than the table
articles Of the present and Of an an
cient design.
A large pailful of the things was col
iected, and the mex day. when work
men called to repair the damage an
other supply was taken from the CELL
ing, together with a toothbrush and
other things.
The articles were never of a high
value and must have lain where found
for many years; al former tenants Of
the house for over twenty years back
failed to identify the stuff. How the
treasure trove came to be within the
ceiling n upper floor Is a mystery,
and it is supposed that children placed
1t there, as a knot-hole was found in
the floor not far from the articles.
