ON FIRE WHEN
STEAMER RUNS AGROUND,
Freighter Runs on Mudbank in
FOg-Later Relocated.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. July Is.
The Metropolitan line freight steamer
James s. Whitney. bound from New
York for Boston. ran aground today on
Middle Ground, a submerged mud bank
in Vineyard Sound. during a dense fog.
Soon after the steamer grounded fire
broke out In one of the cargo com
partments between decks. The COM
partment where the fire was discovered
was filled with steam, in an effort to
smother the flames.
The second officer of the Whitney
came here during the forenoon to COM
municate with the agents of h line.
1t was thought that the fire would not
extend beyond the single compartment
in which it was discovered.
The Whitney Is a steamer OF 1926
tons, and carries a crew of thirty. Soon
after the IRE was controlled the
revenue cutter Acushnet arrived from
Woods Hole and the steamer was
ftoated. She proceeded On her way to
Boston.
The shoal where theWhftney rested
is Of mud and soft sand. andn the
steamers bottom was notsdamaged.

NORTH BERGEN, July Ex-senator
Frelinghuysen's school investigating
committee spent several hours yester-
day probing a land dea1 that took place
two years ago. County Register John
J. Mcmahon admitted that he en-
gineered the deal and profited thereby.
Mcmahon testified that his brother,
who Is a partner in the real estate and
insurance business. carried the insur-
ance upon the local schools. He
further testified that the School Board
acquired title to a plot Of ground In
Hudson boulevard for school purposes
June %, 1908. In the tract were sixty
eight lots owned by Henry Brill. who
transferred them to John DAILY. a court
these lots were then sold TO the School
Board.
Tho price for the whole tract wa
$50. 900, of which Daily gave . mortgage
for 10000 n sold eighteen lots to the
board for $1o,S0o.
According to Mcmahon. after the
School Board had bought the eighteen
lots. he took over from DAILY the re-
manning nifty lots at the price of $500
per lot assuming Days mortgage or
the whole tract and paying him moth
ing.
Mcmahon said he sold the president
of the School Board. John Mueller, two
lots for $50 cash each. and also sold
John McElroy another lot for 5000 cash.

After the strain of professional ball
with a pennant in sight. the ANS will

In the afternoon for q long, cool ride
to Hiltonia. Children under 10 years
Of age must be accompanied by their
parents. Representatives of the STAR
will supervise the outing and do
everything in their power to make the
excursionists enjoy themselves to an
even greater extent than they did on
the two previous outings. Refresh
ments will be serve at Hiltonia by
Joseph l.. Feibleman & Co.
The feature of the excursion which
will doubtless prove most attractive is
the opportunity which will be extend
ed to all guests OF the STAR to inspect
the now nearly completed building,
which is the first prize In the contest.
The house now awaits the finishing
touches, and the inspection Sunday will
be much more satisfying than was the
case on the two earlier excursions.
Everything is free on Sundays out
ing. There will be no occasion nor OPP
portunity for anyone to spend a cent.
and they will be Enabled to enjoy an
outing which does not lack a detail.
The problem of what to do with mid
summer Sunday afternoons should be
easily solved day after tomorrow by
readers of the STAR. as those who ac-
cept the STARS invitation should have
a better time than they could have In
any other way.

DISApPROvAL OF SCHOOL
BOND ISSUE SUSTAINED.
Court Says East Rutherford
Election Was Irregular.

TRENTON, July 15.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Edmund Wilson's refusal to ap-
prove a bond issue of $4,000 Of the
Board Of Education of East Rutherford,
Bergen county. for the erection Of a
new school, has been sustained by a
memorandum filed in the Supreme
Court.
The encouragement refused to pass
the bond issue for the reason hat he
held the election at which 1t was de-
termined upon to have been irregular.
Following the action of the attorney
general, the Board Of Education went
70 the Supreme Court on mandamus.
An alternative writ was allowed. to
which the encouragement demurred,
holding that the question submitted to
him required a determination of facts
and the application of the law to the
facts. He contended that his approval
or disapproval of such matters involves
the exercise of sound discretion and Is
not administrative.
This contention of the a~ttorney-gen-
eral was sustained.
