MONEY IN BANK, BOARD
is FORCED TO BORROW
New Jersey Schools Receive 2
Per Cent and Pay 4

ORANGE, N. j., Sept. 9.--School
boards of New Jersey frequently have
to pay per cent a year for the use OF
their own money, according to testi-
mony given here before a senate COM
mittee, by the Orange board of educa-
ton.
According to board members money
could not be borrowed for any other
purpose than education. In orange
county. therefore, with $4,000 on de-
posit in bank as fund for the erec-
ton of schools, the board of educa-
tion has been compelled to borrow
$50 600 from the same bank, for current
expenses. On the deposit or SllO'oOV
the hoard drew interest at the rate of
per cent a year, and on the loan it
paid Az to Der cent.
There appears no remedy for this
state of affairs, except for the munich
nal boards to strive to catch up with
their revenue and reduce their loans
to minimum.

ASSERTS NOTE TO POPE
AVOIDS DOGMA QUESTION

MADRID, Sept. 9.-Premier Cana1ejas
is quoted as saying that Spain's reply
to the Vatican's latest note contains
little beyond generalities and assur
ances that the question of church dog
ma is not involved.
The premier expects the negotiations
between Madrid and the Vatican will
remain stationary until the cortes
meets, when, he says, the paddock
BILL" instead of being withdrawn, will
be adopted.
The. paddock bill prohibits the crea-
ton of further religious establishments
until the revision of the concordat has
been completed or definite law on the
subject has been passed.

IN COUNTING OF SHEETS
81 Clerks in Treasury Depart
ment to Change Positions

WASHINGTON Sept. 9.-Another
economy, this time the saving Of
$4,000 a year, will be shortly effected
at the treasury 1t has cost that much
to count the sheets of paper upon
which money, postage stamps and rev.
enue stamps ara printed. Each sheet
is regarded as having the value of the
money or stamps to be printed upon it,
and the accounting has been very close.
Hereafter the millions of sheets will
be stored at the bureau of engraving
and printing instead of at the treasury,
and one counting operation can thus
be obViated. Fifty-one clerks thrown
out of employment by the change prob
ably will md employment in other de-

SECOND SESSION ORDERED


"At 10 o'clock we convened, Chair
man Nelson in the chair. There were
six members present, also the secre-
tary of the committee, Mr.. Sleman.
Immediately after calling the COM
mittee together the chairman read
statement, the substance Of which
was that certain members were not in
the city and that one of them, SEN
ator Root, could not be here until
two alternatives for us to adopt-to
adjourn either until Tuesday in Min
neapolis or Monday in Chicago.
1.-THE chairman stated he would en-
tertain no other motion evcept to ad-
journ, to which protest was made as
arbitrary and unfair and a motion
was made to instruct and empower the
secretary of the committee, Mr.. Sle-
man, we being without a regular SER
geant -at-arms, to bring Senator Suth-
erland, Representative DENLY and Rep
resentative Mccall at once to the COM
mittee.
1.-THE chairman said he would en-
tertain that motion because he felt
there were two things we could do,
adjourn or do what we could to secure
the attendance of absent members.
1--WE have been doing what he could
to secure the attendance of absent
should come to the meeting and engage
in deliberations on the committee re-
port.
"They have so far refused There
has been no attempt to transact other
business so far except that motion
was made to take a recess at 2:30 p.
M, which the chairman refused to
put, but said he would let some other
member put 1t If he desired. He re-
ot,, on nnI thing w
could do was to adjourn or use such
efforts as we could to compel the at
tendance of a quorum.
COMMITTEE STILL MEETS
"About 11:3O he stated he desired
to leave the room on an errand and
would be back in a minute. The
committee has not voted to adjourn. 1t
is legally in session. The chairman
has been here presiding over its de-
and retired with the state
ment that he would soon return.
Instead, he has sent us, through
the secretary of the committee, this
notice: You are hereby notified that
a meeting of the joint committee of
congress to investigate the department
of the interior and it's several bureaus,
officers and employees and of the
bureau Of forestry in the department
of agriculture and it's officers and en-
ployes, is hereby called to be held at
the Auditorium Annex hotel In Chi
cago, Tuesday, September 13, at 10
o'clock, and you are hereby request
ed to be in attendance
"Of course the chairman has no
authority under the resolution under
which the committee has acted to ad-
journ the committee to any time or
place and his action in this respect Is
and absolutely without
authority. We want it made plain to
the country that we had quorum and
met in the place to which the COM
m,ttee was legally adjourned.
"The only thing that we have in
sisted on is that all the members
should be present and discharge the
duty incumbent upon us under the
resolution authorizing the creation of
a committee.
1--WE object to being hauled about
the county, and object to unreason-
able delays to secure the presence of
absent members. 1t was as much
their duty to be here on the morning
of September as ours"
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-10

The notification of the chairman that
a meeting would be held in Chicago
next tuesday, and request for attend
ance. were sent to all the members
here. The fve>members continued their
deliberations.
Secretary slemman remained in the
room. Senator Fletcher of Florida was
made chairman pro tenn. The reso-
luton offered by Senator Purcell was
then adopted by the five members. 1t
follows:
oWhereas, this committee, pursuant
to adjournment, met at 10 o'clock of
this day, with Chairman Nelson in
the chair and six members present,
including the chairman:
''Whereas there are three other mem
bers of the committee. to wit Sena-
tor Sutherland and Representatives,
Mccall and DENLY, in the city, and
the building in which the committee
is meeting; and
,sssWhereas, all possible effort has
been made, without effect. to induce
said members to attend the session
of the committees; and,
'sWhereas, the chairman withdrew
from the committee room and failed
and neglected to return after more
