RAILROADS WILL FIX
SUMMER TOURIST RATES.
Passenger Officials Meet in Chi
cagO for Conference.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-Whether the
rates for summer tourist fares are to
be advanced during the coming sum-
mer season, both east n west Of
Chicago, may be determined at sepa-
rate meetings of the Eastern and West
ern passenger officials here today.
Among some of the Eastern roads who
are members of the Central Passenger
Association 1t is said there Is a dispo-
sltion to seek an increase for this year
over the basis for summer tourist rates
adopted during the last two years from
a fare and one-third plus $3.50 for the
round trip to a fare and a half.
This would increase the rates from
Chicago to New York, Boston or the
New England n New Jersey sea-
oas resorts from $3.50 to $27 for the
differential lines and from $3.50 to $50
for the standard lines.
It was understood that the summer
tourist rates to the Pacific coast had
been fixed at $3.50 for the round trip
at a recent meeting of the Trans
continental Passenger Association, but
these rates have not been announced,
and some of the lines that were not
represented have been arguing for an
advance of $3.50 from the Missouri river
n Sc from Chicago

charge last night and convicted of the
other. The woman sat In court during
the triaf with a baby in her arms,
Three other children clambered about
the benches In the court room.
The first indictment was based upon
a raid made by the police on her lodg-
ing-house last June. when they found
John F. Lynch, an Asbury Park cab
man, there with a bottle of beer before

davit that he had bought whiskey II

PLAN TO ABOLISH
HIGH SCHOOL FRATS.
Nationwide Movement Is Start
ed in New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-A nationwide
movement for the adjustment OF
Greek-letter fraternities M sororities
In high schools has been started by the
board OF superintendent of the New
York schools. Their recommendation
is based on reports received from
school superlntendents in twenty
seven of the chief cities of the coun-
try. all but one of whom expressed
himself in disapproval of the secret
societies.
The New York board charges that
such f~raternities in high schools are
harmful, in that they foster an I'M
democratic spirit, lead to excuses and
the formation of vicious habits n to
the organization of cliques to control
school affairs" Above all, fraternities
in the high schools are condemned "as
encouraging an unwholesome spirit OF
secrecy among adolescents at a time OF
life when 1t Is most necessary that
there shall be the frankest n most
unreserved confidence between parent
and child"
It is explained hat the structures
made by the committee against high
school fra~ternities are based largely on
the youth of the pupils who form the
membership, and do not apply equally
to college fraternities. KS a rule. It ID
said, such high school fraternities
merely ape the superficial n not the
fundamental traits of the college fra
ternitity, perverting- these into snob-
bishness and a ~domineering attitude
toward pupils outside of the fraterni-
ties.
There are now some fifty fraternitiee
in the high schools of this city, all OF
which will be abolished IL the Board OF
Education approves the report of the
superintendents.

FREEHOLDERS TO
DISCUSS vEXEO
OVERLOOK BILL
Will Thresh Out S12,75O Affair,
Which Architects Were to
Have Paid.

The much mooted and disputed bill
of the architects of the Overlook Hos
pital for the Insane, ordered paid, but
held up. through opposition, will be
threshed out at the meeting of the
Board of Freeholders tonight. The bill
is for SIP, $50, and was submitted to the
building committee by the architects for
payment, contrary to an understanding
that the architects were to pay for the
services of the experts on the steam
heating and ventilating work out of
their own pocket.
The members of the appraisal COM
mission while investigating the cost of
the erection of the buildings at Over
brook discovered a resolution on the
minutes of the building committee that
Hurd & Sutton, the architects, had been
authorized to engage experts for GER
tain work at Overlook and that they
were to defray the expense themselves.
Notwithstanding this the committee
recommended the payment of the bill
which was submitted by the architects
and at the January meeting of the
board this was done.
Auditor Refused to Pay.
A few days later the report of the
appraisal commission appeared, CRITICS
ing the action of The freeholders and
referring to the resolution on the min
utes of the building committee. Auditor
Conklin refused to pay the bill and
Director Ougheltree stated hat he
would have a conference with other
county officers on the matter before the
bill was paid.
Il seems that some of the members of
the present board object to paying this
bill, which was contracted by a pre-
vious board, after finding out that the
bill was to be paid by the architects.

COMMITTEE FOR
IMPROVEMENTS
At OVERLOOK
Would Increase Clerical Force
and Appoint Staff of Con-
sulting Physicians.

General improvements in condition:
at Overlook Asylum. including q
larger bookkeeping force, the appoint
ment of a staff of fifteen consulting
physicians and the establishment of a
course in Discriminating for inmates
of the institution, were decided upon By
the hospital committee of the Essex
County Board of Freeholders at theiI
session late yesterday.
The committee reached the conclusion
that the high cost of maintaining the
institution as compared to others OF
similar size and standing Is due to two
things: First, the high grade of sal
aries paid employees and officers. and
second the superior grade of o pro-
vided for the inmates. It Is to afford
better facilities for locating and stop
ping leaks" that the bookkeeping
force Is to be increased by the appoint
ment Of an assistant bookkeeper, and
possibly a second assistant later.
Herbert Walker. the bookkeeper OF
the institution, was called before the
committee. and he declared thst with
the aid of two assistants he could In
stall a system which would enable the
committee to learn the cost OF every
department.
Fiads Money in Safe.
other reasons why the ~bookkeeper
should receive some help were given
by Warden Charles M. Steadman, who
explained that he had found money
and valuables In a safe which had been
turned over to him by DR.. Daniel M
Dill, the former medical superintend-
ent, which belonged to patients who
are long lead or to patients who are
carried on the INDECENT list.
On suggestion of DR.. Guy Payne,
medical superintendent, the committee
approved the idea of appointing a con-
medical staff of about fifteen
prominent physicians, n a resolution
will be submitted TO the board tomor-
row afternoon, giving The committee
authority to appoint the staff. In ex-
planning his request DR.. Payne old the
that such a staff would con-
sist of specialists of all kinds and tina
they would lend prestige to the inst,-
besides giving valuable services.
Another suggestion of the medical
superintendent, to have a dentist visit
the hospital once a week to look after
the teeth of the inmates. was laid oVer
the time when the Duoget ID maue
There is nc money available ut
present for the purpose.
Two other recommendations of the
superintendent were granted by the

HEO NEVER sign
4 PAPER CALLING
GEN. ECKERT SANE
Former Nurses Statement Ruled
Out, but He Proves Good
Witness for Contestant.

NEW YORK, Feb. S,-"Would you
have sworn to a paper declaring Gen
eraI Eckert of sound mind?" asked
Henry M. Earle, chief counsel for
j.. Clendenin Eckert, of James Miles
yesterday at the hearing of the contest
OF General T. T. Eckert's will. The
general left almost $4,000, 900 to T. T.
Eckert, jr., and a far smaller amount
to his other son, Clendenin. Surrogate
Cohalan is hearing he case.
"No, sir" shouted Miles, answering
Earle's question. De Lancey Nicoll,
for T. T. Eckert, jr., objected. Question
and answer were ordered stricken out.
Proves valuable Witness.
But Miles, former houseman and
nurse to General Eckert, nevertheless
proved a valuable witness for Glen
denim Eckert. He testified he had seen
Robert G., Page, Jr, General Eckert's
private secretary, place a blank paper
in front of the general.
What did the general say" Miles
was asked.
He didn't say anything" was the re-
ply. Lawyer Ennever said it wasn't
necessary. The general looked kind of
blank and his face twitched."
This was in direct contradiction to
Ennever's testimony or Monday that,
at the signing of the will, when a blank
piece of paper was placed before Gen
eral Eckert SO he could practise writ
ing his name before signing the will. he
pushed the ape away and said he
could sign without practising.
Another dramatic incident came when
William H. Eo1ert, only living brother
of the general, entered court. OF i'm
posing appearance, he stalked along
and took a seat beside Clendenin Eek
ert. He never glanced at the other
Bckerts, and they looked at him as If
he we're a stranger.
