Jersey Politicians In Capt.
tai Believe Kean Will Wait
Until after Election.
WILL TEST STRONG'S
STRENGTH AT POLLS
The Election of Three Mid
dIesex AssembIymen Is in
the Balance.
tFrom the NEWS correspondeat.) }

(T'rom the NEWS Correspondeat.)
Washington, Feb. 9:-Whether or
not Senator Kean is playing shrewd
politics, SO far as Middlesex county
is concerned, remains to be seen.
That there is any doubt on this score
is due to the impression that is pre-
valent here to the effect that the
,senator may not make any recon-
mendation for the collector of the
port of Perth Amboy, position now
held by Robert Carson, of New
Brunswick, long regarded as one of
the most faithful of Senator Kean's
lieutenants In New Jersey, and par
ticularly in Middlesex county.
The term of Mr.. Carson as collec-
tor has about expired. Theodore
Strong, the assessor-leader," who
was in charge of the republican
forces in the campaign last fall,
when they met such an overwhelm-
ing defeat-a perfect and bewilder-
ing Waterloo-has long had Mr..
Carson marked for slaughter, as he
did John H. Conger, who aspired to
be the county clerk for another term
and who was prevented from getting
the nomination by Strong and his
friends 1t is understood that Mr..
Strong wantec. w. H. G. Jackson, of
New Brunswick 30 succeed Mr.. Car
son, as collector o. the port, but
there is good reason to believe that
he has found it expedient to drop
Jackson, for the present at least.
Defeated and repudiated at the
polls in November last, Strong or
his lieutenants-it matters not
which-lost their grip on some of
the henchmen, and as a result the
organization of the county commit
tee went against the former leader
and boss. Evidently, judging from
the latest reports from Middlesex
county, Strong got busy at once to
"build up his fences" and with such
effect that he was able to have a
resolution adopted by the county
committee indorsing William H.
Pfeiffer, of Perth Amboy, for the
position held by Mr.. Carson.
1t is naturally inferred in political
circles here that Mr.. Strong, realiz-
ing that his advocacy of his good
friend Jackson for the place was i'm
perilling his own cause, shrewdly
won over the Pfeiffer crowd by
agreeing to the Endorsement of the
brother of the county chairman for
the place. 1t was anything to defeat
Carson, and with that in view he
captured enough votes to get through
the resolution.
This puts it up to Senator Kean,
and because the presumption Is a
safe inference that he will naturally
want the vote of the three assembly
men from Middlesex county, he will
find it convenient to postpone the
recommendation of a man for Mr..
Carson's place until after the fall
election. If Strong has the good
fortune to win out, nominating three
men subservient to his wishes, and
then electing them, then he may sue
ceed in his efforts to have Mr.. Carson
deposed. The only contingency is
the people. They refused to swallow
his candidate for county clerk, w. Fl.
G.. Jackson, and it is believed here
that they will again balk at voting
for any candidates considered as be-
ing affiliated with the Strong ma
chine. c. S. A.

MAYOR TELLS SCHOOL BOARD
ABOUT THE NIGHT SESSIONS
FELL UNDER A
BRICK TRAIN

Falling between the cars of a brick

about 4:30 O'Clock, Joseph Lampart,
twelve years old, of 686 Charles street,

under the wheels of the last car that
DR.. J. L. Lund was compelled to am
putate 1t above the elbow.
Young Lampart in company with
two other boys, it is declared was steal
ing ride on the train. They were rid
ing between the two last cars, crouch
ed on the bumpers so as not to be seen
by the crew. Lampart was holding on

outside of the car. So engrossed was
he in talking to his companions that
he did not notice a pile of bricks sit
uated alongside the track. When he
struck them he released his hold on the
car. He rolled beneath the ear and the
wheels Of both trucks passed over his
right arm.

only for the material help which she
gave, which was greater than that
from any other country, but also for
the moral help that her contribu-
tions involved.
THE world was certainly in full
est sympathy with us, in which SYM
pathy America, as usual, took the
foremost part.
1.-The French have not short men,
ories, and we will never forget the
generosity shown by America in our

"Gentlemen:-
In view of the opportunities
made upon me and other city officials
in the past, and of the present wide
discussion of the subject by individ-
uals, organizations and the press, !
am constrained to address you upon
the subject of the extension Of our
present public school system in the
form of establishing. night school
or night schools. The suggestion Is
not altogether a new one to me, as !
have already offered it in the past In
certain of my messages to the Board
of Aldermen. AS time speeds on and
the city grows, the matter assumes q
more serious aspect, and the need Of
certain extensions which ! am about
to suggest to our school system, be-
comes more apparent

not in the country. In fact, our pub
lie schools are source of great
pride on my part, and when contem-
plating the great advantages that
Perth Amboy has, our public school
system always appears in prominent
view.

discovered by employees Of the com

companions who had seen the accident
had become frightened and had run
away. When picked up the boy was
conscious and crying. He would not
allow anyone to garry him, and asked
to nave the injured limb bandaged.
He walked into the office and calmly
told Superintendent John Pfeiffer that

fer telephoned for the city ambulance
and had the boy removed to the office
of DR.. Lund. The injured boy was
later removed to his home.
Lampart had gone to the Maurer

been i'll since Monday, would return
to work tomorrow.
He delivered his message. ard then
went out into the works where he was

SCHOOLS ARE
NOW CROWDED
Supt. Shul! Tells Board of
Education of Congested
Conditions.
MUCH ROUTINE BUSINESS

Superintendent Shull stated at a
meeting of the Board of Education,
last night, that despite the fact that
the grammar school and the Neville
street school were opened last Sep
tember, tending somewhat to allevi-
ate the crowded conditions of the
other schools, the condition will be
contested almost to the same extent
this year. All of the schools are now
filled to their capacity. At the high
school it will be necessary to employ
two other teachers to take charge OF
the students. At present there are
308 students enrolled, fifty-four of
whom are seniors. About 230 of
this number will remain and about
100 will enter. There are only 225
seats in the auditorium, and at pres
ent the students are sitting two at a
desk
AT the grammar school all rooms
are occupied, and three classes can
not be accommodated. Only six
classes will leave in June, and fifteen
are expected to enter. At all of the
other schools, Superintendent Shull
said, the conditions are much the
same. 1t will be necessary to change
the territory line between schools 5
and in order to lessen the comics
ton at school No. 5. and it may be
necessary to employ another teacher.
The old board room at school No. 4
will have to be utilized to accommo-
date the overcrowded class rooms
and another teacher will have to be
employed.
The matter caused considerable
discussion among the board members
and the matter was referred to the
teachers committee with power to
act. Commissioner Gridley moved
that the school board meet with the
Board of Estimate in regard to finan-
ces for more adequate school room.
