rants, ranging in age from 4 weeks to
IA months, only one child being a few
months over that age. While all the
sisters of Charity, nurses, firemen and
nelghbors worked with a will, there
were some special cases of bravery
shown.
The last child, only a few months old,
was taken out by Miss Catherine
Healy, a nurse. The place was dense
with smoke, and she was advised
against going to the front of the build
ing, where the infant lay in a crib,
Miss Healy knew it was there, and she
was spurred on by that knowledge.
She reached the bed of the child, which
was then nae by the curing
flames coming up from The laundry in
the basement, where the fire started.
Picking the baby up in her arms. the
nurse made her way to the street just
as her own clothes caught fire. The
child was taken from her arms and the
flames in her own clothing were
quenched by those who were waiting

room to find them, as some of the beds
were empty.

ST. CLOUD SCHOOL is
In NEED OF NEW WELL
West Orange Board Of Education
May Have One Driven.

Alton III. Sherman, superintendent of
the West Orange public schools, pre-
sented a set of questions, sent him by
the Senate committee, in regard to the
methods Of education in tina town, to
the Board of Education last night. Mr..
sherman explained to the board that
it would take him two weeks to answer
the questions, and that he would be
unable to answer many of them. The
board decided not to do anything in
connection with the request of the
committee until guided by the attitude
of the boards of education in the sur
rounding municipalities.
A petition was received from the
Mems Club, of st. Cloud, requesting
that either a new well be driven at the
st. Cloud School, or that the school be
connected with city water. The present
supply OF water for this school Is de-
rived from a 25-foot well. which must
frequently be cleaned, and many of the
pupils refuse to use the water. The
board will investigate the feasibility of
driving a 50-foot well onN the highest
portion of the grounds, as connection
with the city water would be too ex-
penSve.
The superintendent's report for the
past month shows the following attend
ance In the schools of the town: st.
Marks, S02: Hazel Avenue. 242; wash
lngton Street. 655: Pleasantdale. S.: Mt

WOROY WAR AT
{. NEWARK SCHOOL
BOARD MEETING
Commissioners Murray and
Wright Clash Over Purchase
of C0al-Other Matters.

Things waxed warm at q meeting of
the East Newark Board of Education

seemed that blows might be struck be-
fore the wordy war, which was between
two members of the board, was finally
brought to an end.
Commissioners Thomas Murray and

gagged in the argument. Murray. as
chairman of the supply committee, had
asked the board for permission to pur
chase four tons of coal for the school.
Wright asked Murray twice how much
coal YVES needed and Murray cach time
said four tor A. vote was taken and
all but Wright voted aye.
Following the decision Of President
Hanna. Wright said to Murray. You
should bring these matters up at he
supply committee meetings"
II will bring them up before the
board; that is the proper place." replied
Murray.
Wright contended that as a member
of the supply committee he should be
appraised as to the needs of the school.
The argument was kept up. to the
amusement of the other members and

KEARNY G. 0. P. IN
FRACTIONAL FIGHT
OVER COMMITTEE
Representation of Regulars and
New Ideaites on County Board
Is Casus BelIi.

The Republican party in kearny,
despite all the efforts of several leaders
to effect q reconciliation of the oppos-
ing factions, enters upon the new year
With a firm resolve to have peace in
the ranks, if the members have to fight
for it. Ii other words they have agreed
TO disagree for an indefinite time, and
the possibility confronts the party in
the town of having two executive men,
aprs of the Hudson County Republic
can Committee. when Kearny is en-
titled TO but one.
1t is the bic struggle between the
Regulars and the New Idea men
that Is likely to put Kearny Repub-
leans in a peculiar relation toward
the county organization, and which
may vitality affect the latter organiza-
lion II the warning factions in the
town keep up the fight. The New
Ideaites elected a majority of the
ward members of the Hudson county
committee last fall, and, feeling fully
entitled to all the fruits of victory,
selected Walter Chapman as their
choice for member of the executive
committee Of the general county COM
mitee. They argued that the voice of
the people should be the only voice
that the chairman of the county body
should heed in making his appoint
ments of executive committeeman, a
power conferred on him by the rules
of the county body.
1t Is limited now that the New Idea
ties MAJ be entirely ignored in the
naming of executive committeeman.
This possibility has raised the hopes
of the friends of Samuel w. Smith,
the recent executive committeeman,
and of Thomas Chamberlain, and con-
siderable pressure is being brought to
bea in behalf of each. Some promi-
nent members Of the party in Kearny
have been trying to placate the warning
factions by getting them to pool their
interests and induce the county COM
mittee to allot two executive members
to Kearny. If a proposition be made
to give Kearny two members. North
Hudson and South Hudson will de-
mand more representation, and the
larger cities of Jersey City and Ho-
boken will probably object to an in
direct lessening of their prestige.
Some think hat the chairman of the
county committee will avail himself of
the discord in the party in Kearny to
appoint a man who will not be actively
affiliated with either faction in the
town. and yet there is no assurance
thai he will be acceptable to either the
New Ideaites or the Regulars. although
such an appointment would most likely
be Very regular to harmonic with
the chairman's known sentiments.
Asked what the New Ideaites would do
il the county chairman took the reins
in his Gown hands. q leading member
of that faction declared today thai
the selection of the chairman would be
ignored and Republican interests in
Kearny would be looked after by Mr..
Chapman and his associates without
dictation from the rest of the county.
Next Friday night will tell the tale.
Chairman Frank will then announce
his selections. Possibly the Kearny
majority ma not find it necessary to
brqak with the county body and be-
come to the latter a sort of outlaw
bttnd.

went down stairs. The two front doors
were wide open. A brief examination

the gifl awakened the family. Two
rooms on the first floor had been over

made their entrance and exit by the
front doors. No windows were forced.
it was found.

vestigation, were able to give the po-
lice a list of the following articles which
