OFF CAR, ASKS $4,000.

Damages in $40, goo were demanded

in the Supreme Court Circuit today, on
behalf of Mrs. John KuszynslSi, of as

TRAINING SCHOOL
CONTRACT REVIEW
DENIED BY COURT
Award Must Stand, Is Ruling in
Suit Brought by Gustav
Schwitzer.
speoIal 70 the Newark star.l

TRENTON, Feb. Elm an opinion
filed in the Supreme Court today by
Justice Trenchard the court refuses
to grant the certiorari applied for by
Gustav Schwitzer to review the pro-
ceedings under which. the contract for
the construction of the East Side Com
mereial n Manual Training School
in Newark was awarded. The syllabus
of Justice Trenchard's opinion in part
says:
Section SO of the school law requires
that all contracts for building school
houses shall be awarded TO the lowest
responsible bidder. Whether Il party is
a responsible bidder is for the deter
mination of the body authorized to ac-
cept bids in the exercise of q bona
fide discretion after investigation upon
notice n hearing to the bidder af-
fected.
THE determination of the body au-
thorized to accept bids, upon proper
proceedings. that a bidder is not re-
sponsible is final and will not be dis
turbed by a reviewing court unless it
appears hat the action was taken in
bad faith or the proofs were of such a
character as to satisfy reasonable men
of the bidders responsibility"

NOW BELIEVE PIER
TRAGEDY VICTIM
WAS NOT SLAIN
Absence of discriminating Evil
dence Against Suspect Is Rapid
ly Dissipating Murder Theory.
Especial to the Newark star.l

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 21.-Although
eight days have elapsed since the body
of Jane Adams was cast ashore on the
beach near Ventnor, the authorities
have made little, if any, progress in
their endeavors to clear away the mys-
terry surrounding the tragedy.
Nothing but a confession from Will
lam Seyler, who was arrested in Peters
burg, Va, last week, charged with Stay
ing the girl, will satisfy public opinion
that the girl was murdered OH the
m~illion-dollar pier the night of Feb
ruary 10. Excepting Clarence l.. Gold
enberg, prosecutor of Atlantic county,
and Captain Whalen, Lone of the men
conducting the investigation believe
that Miss Adams was slain.
When the vague statements of
Goldenberg and Captain Whalen are
analysed, it must be admitted ;hat
even they have accused Seyler of the
alleged crime without giving any deli
mite reason for their theory.
1t was admitted in police h~eadquar-
tiers today that William Seyler has not
made any statement which will in
criminate him, Whether the police or
Mr.. Goldenberg have linked together a
strong chain of circumstantial evidence
against he prisoner remains to be de-
termined at the c%oroner's inquest to
be held tonight or Wednesday. 1t is
known that Sontheimer. the coroner, Is
not convinced that the girl was muir
dered, and from statements he has
made 1t appears that the true history
of the case will develop at the inquest.

WAGON BREAK DOWN
BLOCKS MARKET ST. CARS.
Hundreds Inconvenience During
Early Rush Hours.

A heavily laden garbage wagon,
owned by L. j. Buckley & Co, the city
s~cavengers, skidded into an excavation
in Market street just east of Mulberry
street early today, and completely tied
up traffic on the w~est-bound track for
three-quarters of an hour. Thousands
of business men n school children
were obliged to walk to their destina-
tions, and it vas late in the day be-
fore regular schedules were resumed.
So firmly had the wagon become
'wedged in the french that the wrecking
crew of the trolley company was un-
able to free it until a tandem of cars
vas called into action to shove the
wagon to one side.
During the tie-up cars were sent
around the Bank street loop whenever
possible, but even this method did not
materially lessen the c~ongrestion that
the accident caused during one of the
busiest hours of the day.

make their club a vehicle for the adj
Vaneement of the study of air naViga-
ton.
Barker and Parker, as partners, have
entered their two successful machines
in the coming 'airship-model tourna-
ment,' to be held i'll the TWenty-sec-
ond Regiment Armory, New York, in
competition for the New York Y. M.
c. A. aero cup on March 8,
And were going to get it," said
Barker today, "or know the reason
why. We've built four models so far,
and have succeeded in getting two of
these to fly successfully for a consider
able distance. We think we have ac-
complished something. Understand,
our models are not regulation size, but
are about six feet long, and equipped
with an elastic motor"
The "B.-P.' machines, meaning Bar
ker-Parker, are monoplanes, and al
though apparently fragile. are capable
of w~ithstanding a multitude of knocks.
The frames are OF wood, and the wings
of the best texture silk. One of the
pet features of the machines that the
inventors are working on is a contriV-
ance whereby a low centre of gravity
is obtained. Barker and Parker have
not as yet taken out any patents. but
if their present plans work out success
fully. they will be the holders of sew
eral soon.
And we're not infringing on the
Wright brothers" chuckled Parker.
"We're not going to run any chances"
The two successful models that the
boys expect to enter in the New York
meet on March 5, are %monoplanes. One
is built on lines somewhat similar to
the one used by Latham, hut in several
vital points differs from it. The other
machine embodies several of the orig
inal ideas of the boys. Tho Latham
type'' machine is called "B.-P. No. 81
and their other machine Up. No. a."
A machine modelled on h line of a
bat, with the barbed wings, and other
peculiarities of the night flyer initiated.

''AEROPLANE HOME

of several residents of that section ma
terialize, airships will soon be compet-

Eighteen boys of the most exclusive
part of Forest Hill are banded together
for the purpose of studying aeronau
tics, and have made good progress in
making successful models of mono
planes inc biplanes built on original
lines. The club has been recently
formed. 1t is in fact so new that the
members have not yet decided whether
to call it the Forest Hilr' or the
Northern New Jersey" Aero Club. The
prime movers in the organization are
Harold Barker, the president, of AT Mt.
Prospect avenue, and William Parker,
of 4041a Summer avenu Barker and
Parker have been worrying as part
ners'' in the building of their models,
and were interested actively in aero
nautics long before the organization of
the club. The secretary is Leo Heller,
of 40 Bloomfield road.
The main object of the club is the
building of man-carrying aeroplanes,
and every Monday afternoon in the
shop" of the Elliott Street School, the
boys get together to discuss ways and
means. both for this project and others
in which they are interested.
An exhibition of their work in the
First Regiment Armory is a scheme
that promises to materialize shortly.

they would have the business men of
the city offer prizes in the form of cups

two weeks
Just now at the works across the
river the activities are centered in
completing the stripping of the
quarry and the laying of the railway
track to connect with the Wabash
track near the depot The quarry has
been about two-thirds stripped while
the grade for the track has been
made as far as the interurban connec-
ton on Broadway and the steel has
been laid about half of that distance
Nothing can be learned from the
local office as to when the force OF
men at work across the river will
be increased and from outward indi-
cation no great burst of activity is
looked to for several months.

IMPROVEMENT WORK
ON BIG STREAM
Was Greatly iindered This Season
as Was Stated by Captain
Edwards.

Eyes. the summer work on the riv-
or has been a long and hard pull,
said Capt. Edwards, assistant United
States Engineer, on Saturday morn
ing. "and it is the more regrettable
as the suspension of navigation on
the upper Mississippi River. due to
the exceptionally low water, could
have been avoided had the rivers and
harbors bill become law a few
months earlier. AS it was, the money
did not become available until July l.,
and as we cannot anticipate anything
in the line of expenditures 1t was
July Is before the fleets could get in
to action. 1t was then too late, most
of the boats had either been laid up
or the starting out for the season
made unprofitable.'
