LIMIT NUMBER OF
TEXT BOOKS IN
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Educational Committee Of Board
of Education Settles Old
Controversy. E.

Ten basic textbooks will comprise
the uniform system of teaching in the
Newark public schools in the future,
according to the resolution adopted last
night by the committee on instruction
and educational supplies of the Board
of Education. The report of the Board
of Examiners, whose members were
requested to submit a list of books, pro-
vided for ten basic books and a up
Elementary list. The report was re-
ceived, but the supplementary list re-
jected. e. K. Sexton, secretary of the
Board of Examiners, was instructed to
submit a list of books from those now
owned by the board.
This action by the committee ends
a long controversy as to whether or
not the public schools should be pro-
vided with an unrestricted list of books
for its purposes or a uniform col
lection.
The resignation Of fourteen teachers
was accepted by the committee, which
concurred in the application of Marian
D. Camden, primary v~ice-principal of
Burnet Street School, for retirement.
Burroughs applied for by ten teach
ers because Of i'll health were granted
by the committee. These actions will
be presented at the board meeting to-
night for approval.

Seattle Rebels Against
u. S. Judge and Car Co.
Nine Citizens, Resenting Federal
interference on Transfers,
Are Locked Up.
Especial to the Newark star.l


SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 31.-This city
is up in arms against United States
Judge Hanford. Nine men, two of
them editors of the Seattle Star, one
of them a city councilman, and two
others deputy sheriffs, have been ar
rested by order of Hanford, charged
with ~obstructing justice.
The mayor and the City Council are
with the Star, on the sid of the people,
the State Railroad Commission and the
State Supreme Court.
United States Judge Hanford and the
Stone-Webster street railway interests
are On the other side.
Much is being said about the people
of Seattle defying a court and refusing
to obey its orders. But there is an
other side to the story.
The street railway company sought
to raise the fares of the people in the
Rainier valley suburbs of Seattle. The
State Railway Commission ruled that
the increase was unreasonable. The
lower court sought to set aside the
ruling of the commission, but the
State Supreme Court upheld the rul-
ing.
The railroad company refused to
obey the Supreme Court, and through
a suit brought by New York bond
holders appealed to the Federal Court.
Judge Hanford thereupon enjoined

THIRD RAIL BOILS WATER
IN WOODBURY. CONDUITS.

WOODBURY., Aug. 31.-The West
Jersey and Seashore railroad is ex-
%perlencing considerable trouble with
the third-rail system during the ex-
~traordinary wet weather. At every
crossing there are cables carrying the
current through conduits, and these fill
with water during such continuous
iains as have been experienced the last
week. This water does not run off
rapidly enough, and the wires hea it
to a boiling point, eventually burning
of the wires or separating them sc
that much of the current is lost.

tariff bills suddenly faded away All
| the blocks were removed, all the obsta-
cles taken out of the way and those
bills went through to passage. One of
them was even passed in Republican
silence.
Last week | saw the President and
asked him how he came to change his
mind in this matter and how he came
to view it differently than the way he
viewed it the day Mr.. Clark and myself
called upon him. That question hasn't
beer answered yet. l don't much ex-
pect it will be answered.
An Opportunity IL Sincere.
eff the President really wanted to
give the country downward revision at
the time when he acted on our bills he
had a very good opportunity to do it.
The wool bill as 1t passed was a con-
sentative bill. It would not have
aroused amy opposition among the
manufacturers themselves. In fact,
they were willing that the bill should
be passed and would not have opposed
the Democratic bill, which was still
more liberal.
THE bill as passed gave the industry
tANNNS VI N obV1iiOAi1 "AAi0 ~ NoN
downward revision. Owing to the de-
crease in labor cost, which is now
about % per cent, the manufacturers
realize that they have gained enough
in the forty years that rate has stood
to afford a little downward revision.
They favor 1t, In fact.
This warrants me In concluding that
when President Taft vetoed this bill
and the other bills it was not because
he was waiting for his tariff board,
not at all. but because he had given
his word to the s~tand-pat Republican
leaders. I wish some good newspaper
man would take hold of this thing and
u it down. I believe the facts are
there to get.
but the salient fact is that Presi-
dent Taft knew we would pass tariff
bills and tariff bills for revision down
ward when the extra session began.
He knew it when the extra session was
called, and he knew It thirty days be-
fore that. He did not oppose 1t; or
the contrary, he said he would dc
everything he could to aid us, even to
the extent of giving us the information
his tariff board, so-called, had gath
cred. He has some better reason for
his vetoes than because tariff revision
downward must wait for a report from
his tariff board. this in December.
This idea itself Is ridiculous. II is
repugnant to any mans Americanism,
When President Taft says it be goes
for his pattern to Germany, He can-
not find ii in our constitution, for II
isn't there. and what is more, a prohi-
| bitfOn against III ia there this In the
words that expressly provide that al
revenue legislation shall originate in
