SCHOOL OFFICERS
ADMIT MAKING
CAMPAIGN GIFTS
Senate Pr0bers Unable to Learn
Details of Bribery Attempt
in Elizabeth.
rspecIal 10 the Newark stall

ELIZABETH, Dec. 6.-When the Sem
ate school, probers net here yesterday
they gave this city a topic of CONVEX
sation which will still be fresh for
many days. In examining c. W. Wenke,
chairman of the Education Board, some
interesting facts were brought to light.
Mr.. Wenke stated that some months
ago, when architects were asked to
submit plans for the proposed High
School, two architects offered brides
and asked him to use his influence in
awarding them thes contract.
1t was testified hat Mr.. Wenke on
two occasions was offered money for
his vote; once $12, 900, which would go
towards a political contribution, and
Sc, 900, to be given to Mr.. Wenke per-
sonally. He refused to divulge any
names, however.
r. e. Clement, superintendent of
schools; Thomas F. Mackessy, business
manager, and Andrew E. Hughes, Sec
rotary. all admitted that they made
political contributions. In the case of
Mackessy n Hughes the amount was
about 5 per cent of their salaries.
Mr.. Clement was rather evasive in
his answer to the question of political
contributions. He emphatically said
that although he made contributions it
is not because he has to.
"Campaign" Contributions.
Il give money for every good pur-
pose,' said Mr.. Clement. 81 help pay
the rent of my political club and do
not see what that has to do with this
investigation"
Senator Frelinghuysen explained that
it was the aim of the committee to
attempt to lift the school board out of
politics. Mr.. Clement retorted that he
had always made contributions. even
before he was superintendent.
In talking about fire escapes Mr..
Clement said that he did not believe in
them. Each school, he said, should have
an inside fire tower, as that was the
safest. In his opinion the schools are
well protected.
While on the stand w. B. Sayre ad-
mitted that although he was on the
finance committee he did not know
much about the finances and said that
he usually TOOK the o. K. OF someone
else.
The sanitary condition of the schools
was carefully gone into and found to
be satisfactory. The health inspection
reports were favorable, as were also
those concerning the free dental clinics.
The Senate investigators will visit
Paterson Wednesday and Camden on
Friday,

Over the Trolley Tax

PATERSON. Dec. 6.-Alderman Fred
erick Schielke created a stir when the
trolley tax ordinance came up for a
final reading in the aldermanic ham
Der by declaring that the Public Serv-
ice Corporation, by a lavish use OF
money, had killed the measur in 1907,
when it was first proposed.
THE city of Paterson" he said, has
always been fair to the Public Service
Corporation. There is little money
coming into town from that source, and
] don't see why there should be any
objection to a tax"
y Colonel Edwin w. Hine. representing
the corporation, said that the passage
of the ordinance would mean a double
tax. and thai IL adopted would not be
conducive to the best of service.
Il would like to ask Colonel Hine,"
replied the alderman. how much it
cost the company to kill the ordinance
in 1907, and whether he will make afti-
davit that no money was used
Colonel Hine was on his feet quick
as a flash, and 1t seemed as If every
alderman had arisen to his feet also.
There was a turmoil for a minute and
finally when order was restored Col
onel Hine vas permitted to speak.
II recall that a similar ordinance was
introduced about three years ago. n
I am prepared to make a truthful affi-
davit that to my knowledge no money
was paid to kill the measure
Alderman Schielke. however, did not
appear to be satisfied. and vigorously
