The officers of the Public Service
Corporation today decided hat Novem-
Der Is would be moving day. for them.
The offices, which now occupy the
eighth and ninth floors of the Pruden-
tial building, will be moved into the
new building on the north side of Bank

the entire Broad street front of the
new building and 100 feet Of the struc-

rooms of the company, which are now
situated at Central avenue and Broad
street, will not be included in the ger
eral moving on the 18th. These offices

RUNYON 8 CAREY
LOSE SUIT AGAINST
EDUCATION BOARD
Supreme Court Holds Firm Can't
Collect Fee After School
Plans Are Changed.

Charles NJ. Myers, counsel for the
Board of Education, received word
from Trenton today that the Supreme
Court had decided the case of Runyon
& Carey against the Board of Educa-
ton in favor of the latter. The de-
cision is important, as 1t affects other
contractors who were interested in the
cause for the action. In 1906 the then
existing Board OF Education voted in
favor of erecting a commercial high
school at q cost of 100000. This sum
had been authorized fer the purpose
and the board invited bids for h work.
The plans that were ultimately ac-
cepted by the board called for an ex-
penditure of s733, 455. Runyon & Carey
submitted plans for the heating and
ventilating system that was to be used
in the proposed school, and these plans
called for a system that was to cost
approximately $78,973. The firm was to
receive a fee OF 8 per cent. of the
amount OF the cost of installing the
system as their remuneration. MIR.
Myers advised the board to abandon
the project, as he did not believe that
they could legally enter into contracts
calling for the expenditure Of s7SS, 456.
when only $400, 900 was available for the
purpose.
Brought Suit for Fee.
Following the abandonment OF the
plans on the larger scale Runyon &
Carey brought the suit against the city
to recover the amount of their fee. The
board had already paid them $1,000 on
account, and they wanted the balance.
The suit was instituted in February,
1909, and very lengthy briefs we're sub
mitted by both sides. Mr.. Myers has
not yet received a copy OF the decision,
which is understood to be quite Iona
and exhaustive, but it Is understood
that the ground is taken that the firm
bringing suit knew at the time that
they submitted the plans that they
would cost the board more than the
amount set aside for the purpose.
The contention that the board could
contract for work in excess of the
amount of money really available Is
believed to be overruled.

My Dear Sir-There is a report being

Are you, in cutting DR.. Wilson, get
ting at the men to blame for what you
are pleased to term bad treatment?
Mercer county had a favorite son,
whom every voter in this city and
county loves, and who received no bet
ter treatment than you did. Are we
going to turn traitors to DR.. Wilson?
No, we are going to do every thing fair
and homes to bring abo his election.
What are o going to do?
You were elected by the voters of
Essex county to one of the highest Of
fees within the gift of the people, and
you W it to them to support the en-
tire Democratic ticket at the coming
election.
In conclusion 1 wish to say that ii
DIR. Woodrow Wilson is given honest
support he will be elected governor OF
New Jersey on the 9Th day of Novem-
Der. If he is defeated it will be due to
the traitors in the ranks of our own
party. Yours very truly,

Il should like to live here all my life.
See how soft the dried leaves are
under your feet and how rich and
green the moss is that clings to these
old trees. Surely no wild beast could

Perhaps there are Wild beasts in
the forest now" said Dorothy.

Lion; but l do not see any of them
about"
They walked through the forest un-
til it became too dark to go any fur
ther. Dorothy and Toto and the Lion
lay down to sleep, while the Woodman
and the Scarecrow kept watch over
them as usual.
When morning came they started
again. Before they had gone far they
heard a low rumble, as of the growing
of many wild animals. Toto whim-
pered little, but none of the others
was frightened and they kept along
the well-trodden path until they came
to an opening in the wood. in which
were gathered hundreds of beasts of
every variety. There were tigers and
elephants and bears and wolves and
foxes and all the others in the natural
history, and for moment Dorothy
was afraid. But the Lion explained
that the animals were holding Il meet
ing, and he judged by their snarling
and growing that they were in great
trouble.
AS he spoke several of the beasts
caught sight of him, and at once the
great assemblage hushed as if by
magic. The biggest of the tigers came
up to the Lion and bowed, saying:

rough voice cry out:
Keep back!"
Who are you?" asked the Scare
crow. Then head showed itself over
the rock and the same voice said:
This hill belongs to us, and we
don't allow any one to cross it."
But we must cross it," said the
Scarecrow. We're going to the coun.
try of the Quadlings."
But you shall mott" replied the
voice, and there stepped from behind
the rock the strangest man the trav.
elers had ever seen.
He was quite short and stout and
had big head, which was fiat at the
top and supported by a thick neck full
Of wrinkles. But he had no arms at
all. and, seeing this, the Scarecrow
did not fear that so helpless a crea,
ture could prevent them from climbing
the hill. So he said:
I'm sorry not to do as you wish.
but we must pass over your hill
whether you like it or not" and he
walked boldly forward.
AS quick as lightning the mans
head shot forward and his neck
stretched out until the top of the head,
where it was fiat, struck the Scare
crow in the middle and sent him tum-
bling, over and over, down the hill. AL
most as quickly as it came the head
went back to the body, and the man
laughed harshly as he said:

What is your trouble?" asked the
Lion. quietly.
I'VE are all threatened" answered
the tiger, "by a fierce enemy which
has lately come into this forest. 1t is
a most tremendous monster like a
great spider, with body as big as an
elephant and legs as long as tree
trunk. 1t has eight of these long legs,
and as the monster crawls through the
forest he seiZes an animal with a leg
and drags it to his mouth. where he
eats it as spider does fly. Not one
of us is safe while this fierce creature
to decide how to take care of our
selves when you came among u.s."
Where is this great spider of yours
now?" asked the Lion.
"Yonder, among the oak trees" said
the tiger, pointing with his forefoot.
The great spider was lying asleep
when the Lion found him, and it
looked so ugly that it's foe turned up
his nose in disgust. It's legs were
/,
and its body covered with coarse
black hair. 1t had great mouth,
with row of sharp teeth a foot long;
but it's head was joined to the pudgy
body by neck as slender as wasp's
waist. Then, with one blow of
his heavy paw. all armed with
sharp claws, he knocked the spiders
head from its body. Jumping down,
he watched 1t until the long legs
stopped wiggling, when he knew it
was quite dead.
The Lion went back to the opening
where the beasts Of the forest were
waiting for him and said. proudly:
You need fear your enemy no lon
ger"
The the beasts bowed down to the
Lion as their king. and he promised to
come back and rule over them as soon
as Dorothy was safely on her way to
Kansas.

The Lion becr-e quite angry at the
laughter caused by the Scarecrow's 9
mishap, and giving loud roar that
echoed like thunder he dashed up the
hill.
Again head shot swiftly out. and
the great Lion went rolling down the
hill as If he had been struck by a can
non ball.
Dorothy ran down and helped the
Scarecrow to his feet, and the Lion
came up to her, feeling rather bruised
and sore, and said:
1T is useless to fight people with
shooting heads; no one can withstand
them"
What can we do them" she
asked.
