AWAIT WORD TO
BEGIN CIVIL WAR
Catholics Assure Vatican They
Will Sweep Away Troubles
of Church.

ROME. Aug. 1.-THE Vatican is re-
ceiving reports from Monsignor vico,
papal nuncio at Madrid, and the Span
ish cardinals and bishops, which were
forwarded after they had received Car
dinal Merry Del Walls instructions to
abandon the demonstration at San Sc
bastian planned for last Sunday. Ac-
cording to these reports the Catholic
people may make it impossible for
peace.
Some of these reports state that only
a word from Rome would be necessary
to have the whole population rise and
sweep away all of the troubles of the
church. The Holy See, it is said, is
reluctant to take any such step as is
suggested, as 1t does not wish to bring
on civil war, which it believes would
not be undoubtful.

The fact that he is occupying a posi-
ton of public Importance, so far from
operating to dissuade you from investi-
yating the matter, ought rather to
stimulate your, zeal, for it Is hardly
necessary for me to even suggest the
outrage that Is perpetrated upon the
children of this county if funds in
tended for their education are depleted
for private profit. 1 trust, therefore,
that your investigation of this charge
will be thorough.
The evidence indicates that in June,
1908, the town of North Bergen at an
election voted to purchase for a school
house site, eighteen lots on a map of
property which the resolution printed
upon the ballot indicated was the prop
erty of John DAILY, and reference was
made in the resolution to a map Of the
property of John DAILY on file. At that
time the property did not belong to
John Daily. but to the Brill Estate. A
few days after the election DAILY took
title to the property. The amount to
be paid to the Brill Estate was $4,000.
of which $4,000 was to be in cash, and
$40, 900 was to be secured by a purchase
money mortgage. From Brill's testi-
mony it seems that the agreement upon
his part to convey the land was made
with John J. Mcmahon. and not with
DAILY. John j. Mcmahon was at the
time custodian of the school fund Of
the town of North Bergen.
This transaction was in June, and
the result of it, as you will see, was
that the town of North Bergen for
s10,S00 secured eighteen lots and DAILY
secured fifty lots and $500 in cash for
purchase money mortgage of $4,000,
so that without the investment of a
cent on his part in actual cash Daily
had the fifty lots and the $500.
The transaction is certainly most ex-
traordinary, and it will be for You to
say whether these facts are not sufh-
cient to lead you to believe that there
was conspiracy on the part Of DAILY
and Mcmahon and the three members
of the Board Of Education, or some Of
them, to profit by this transaction at
the expense of the school fund. The
resolution itself was drawn in such a
way, designating the lots by reference
to map of Days property when DAILY
did not own the property. as to suggest
that the counsel who drew it may also
have been party to the scheme.
1 need hardly add that If the MEM
bers of the Board Of Education were in
terested in the sale of these lots they
are indictable under the status I have
already referred to.

defects in construction. even where
with the plans and specifications, no
indictment should be found II the er-
ror is merely one of Judgment bur the
evidence taken by the Senate commit
tee goes so far as to indicate that the
extravaganza and the failure to Sc
cure proper construction were such
that they could not have taken place
without negligence OF perhaps con-
nivance on the part of the Board OF
Education.
The Board Of Education are public
officers, and any public officer under
takes by tho acceptance of the office
to perform the duties imposed upon
him by law. One OF the duties of the
boards OF education is to manage In a
proper way the public schools under
their charge, and If they have wilfully
neglected to properly manage these af-
fairs and have wilfully incurred ex-
travagant bills for supplies, or have
wilfulfy permitted buildings or sewers
to be constructed in an inferior man
ner and in a manner less to the ad-
vantage of the public than called for
by the plans and specifications, or
have wilfully purchased lands at ex-
orbitant prices, they are indictable for
that negligence.
The evidence further indicates that in
one municipality the appropriations
made for the support of the schools
during the year have been exceeded in
the expenditures. This is made crime
by statute, and is a crime whether the
excess was wilful and intentional or
not; and this law applies not only to
the annual appropriations for the ordi-
nary support of schools. but to the
special appropriations for the purchase
of lands or buildings or erection of
buildings or any other purpose.
"It would seem to me from the evil
dence that has been brought before me
that in one municipality at least the
Board of Education has borrowed
money of the banks unnecessarily, at
) per cent interest, when they already
had a sufficient working balance In the
bank, the result being that the mu-
nicipality lost the difference between
5 per cent, the interest paid, and 2
per cent, the interest upon their bank
deposits, which they received or ought
to nave received.
H~AA
would involve also an inquiry as to
whether the interest allowed by the
banks upon the bank deposits has been
actually turned in to the munich
pality's treasury for the school fund
or whether it has been diverted to
some other purpose. OF course, if you
find evidence which renders it probable
that this interest has been appro-
nyiated nv officials for their own pur-
poses you SHOULD indict for this mis-
appropriation If you find that the
failure to secure for the municipality
all the returns which should have been
secured is due to neglect, you should
indict If yo think that neglect is will

ACCUSE LANGFORD
OF CRAWLING OUT
OF KAUFMAN BOUT
Disagreement Over Division of
Purse Results in CanceIing
Philadelphia Fight.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11.--A dis
agreement over the division of the re-
ceipts resulted at noon today in calling
off the six-round bout between Sam
Langford and AL Kaufman, which was
scheduled for tonight on the grounds of
the Philadelphia National League Base
Ball Club. The fight was originally set
for last night but rain caused a post.
ponement Langford, who refused to
fight, forfeits $3.50 which viii be divided
between Kaufman and Harry e. Ed
wards, Of this city, the promoter of the
bout.
After the bout was postponed last
evening, Joe Woodman, Langford's
manager, notified Edwards that Lang
ford would not fight Kaufman tonight,
but was willing to sign again for
bout next Wednesday night. The rea-
son given was that Langford would not
be in the best condition after day off
of twenty-four hours, and that his
reputation was too valuable to risk
that way.
A hasty conference was held, and
when Billy Delaney, Kaufman's train
err ridiculed the excuse given, Wood
man stated that the negro would agree
to go on tonight If guaranteed $500.
The men had agreed to fight for a per-
centage. Edwards asked time to con-
slider the matter and today announced
that he would not agree to the PROPOSE
ton and called the bout off. An effort
was made to have another heavyweight
meet Kaufman but Edwards would not
listen to 1t.
Edwards was incensed at the turn IN
affairs. He said:
There is only one thing to it: Lang
ford has deliberately crawied out of
the match. Whether from fear or be-
cause he has listened to offers for an
other match, don't know, but I am
determined that he shall not pull off
any trick on the Philadelphia public;
therefore, / called off the match en-
tirely and shall return full money to
those who bought tickets"

action of the convention on the ques-
tion of the resubmission of the Phil

1t seemed probable before the con-

dorse the administration of Governor
