Harrison Youth Breaks Down
and Confesses to
Police.

When Martin Payton. a ~2O-year-old
Harrison youth, was arraigned in the
Harrison police court yesterday, a SEN
tence of ninety days in the county Jail
was meted out to him. The charge,
disorderly conduct, was made on gen.
eral principles. Chief of Police Michael
Rodgers believed that Payton could
throw some light on burglaries recently
committed in the town. The prisoner
was accordingly held in the Harrison
police station instead of being sent to
the county Jail.
After a grilling by the chief and
Policemen Campion and Boob, Payton
finally broke down and confessed to
committing four burglaries and set
ting fire to two barns. He was re-
a~rraigned in court and his case recon
sidered. Today he was placed under
$500 bail for the grand jury. According
to his own statement, Payton on No
vember 20 broke into the store of Hugh
Cahill, at 60 Washington street and
took three boxes of cigars. Six months
before he nae robbed the store.
On the night of December 16 Payton
said he robbed the saloon conducted by
Henry Zbibowski, at 400 South Fourth
His loot consisted of whiskey and
cigarettes. Two months ago he said
he entered the saloon conducted by
Mrs. Henry, at South Fourth and Sus-
sex streets. II was satisfied with two
glasses of beer there" said Payton.
In connection with his confession of
setting fire to a barn at 514 Sussex
street, Harrison, on March 5, it was
brought out hat he procured a match
from Policeman Joseph Coburn under
the pretext that he wanted to light a
cigarette. After firing the place Pay
ton ran to a fire alarm box and sent
in a call for the department. When
accused of being the i~ncendlary short
~ after the fire Payton stoutly denied
the accusation. Policeman Coburn
maintained hat Payton was guilty.
Some time later. he sid. he fred
another barn in the same locality. AS
told in yesterdays Evening STAR,
Payton was arrested on Monday by
Policemen McManus and Boob. He
denied any wrongdoing at the time of
arrest. The parents of the prisoner
are respectable people and they are
deeply grieved over the actions of the
lad.

STEALS THUNDER
OF NEW OFFICIAL
Republican Councilman Accused
by Lone Democrats Friends of
ApprOpriating Pet Scheme.

Councilman Edward S. Pierson, OF
East orange, is accused today of steal
ing the thunder of Councilman-eleef
Patrick H. Lawless, the only Democrat
ever elected to the council, in present.
ing a resolution at the meeting of the
council last night favoring an applica-
ton that may be made for a trolley
line on springdale avenue. Mr.. Law
less made this the principal plank IN
his platform at the recent election, and
il is believed it resulted in his victory.
He will not be able to take his seat
until January 1. Mr.. Persons resoiu-
ton was lost by a tie vote.
In presenting the subject Mr.. Pierson
told of the efforts of more than five
wears ago on the part of the North
Jersey street Railway Company to Sc
cure consent along the avenue, with
the intention of operating a line to
the Ampere section, which has been
rapidly developed of late years, and
which plan failed because of strong op-
position. The present franchise law Is
too stringent, he said, and trolley COM
panies will not invest any money in
new lines.
"There is a provision in the law
which allows for a franchise good for
forty years upon a favorable vote by
the people" continued Mr.. Pierson,

the Public Service that it will accept
The opportunity, there is still a fair
chance of the application being made
should the vote OF the people be favor
able to the project. The adoption of
the resolution will bring to our atten-
ton just what PUBLIC sentiment is in
this matter"

est average of school attendance in the

turns show, he declared, that the

from 144 days in 1900 to 155 days in
1909, while in the same period the aver
age number of days attended by each
pupil rose from 80 to 113.
I'm 1900 our figures show he said,
that the average daily attendance in
the public schools was 10. 632, 772, which
was 6S.6 per cent. of the enrolment.
In 1909 the average daily attendance
reached 1854, S37, being 72.5 per e
