MEETS WITH
MUCH FAVOR
Hammond Has Strong Sup
porters in Rural Districts
Who Want to Get in the
Municipal Band Wagon AS
Soon as Possible.
Hammond. Ind. April 2

A
with good. strong supporters in the
rural territory south of Hammond ia
voripg the annexation of the nine
square miles to the city. the task OF
the demonstrators to get the neces-
sRry rs per cent of the signatures of
the affected property owners does not
look quite so encouraging as Ii did at
frst. From the nleager information
which came from the camp of the
monstrators this morning it appears
that that they are leaving no stone
unturned TO get into communications
with every property owner to get his
Signature either directly or by power
Of attorney before he will have heard
the arguments in favor of the annexa-
ton.
City taxes and increased taxation all
around is the bugaboo that is turned
loose on the people in the district to be
annexed but the annexationists say it
Is nothing more than a bugaboo.
IncontrovertshIe Arguments.
The annexationists use several in
ccntrovertible arguments. They say
that with the growth and develop
ment il will be only question of tirne
1 b-fore the territory will be annexed.
AZ ndmulVHu uutS nOl dIDeA tne leTTl-
tory, which is property its own, Gary
will. and the steel city with its utter
disregard for boundary lines is said TO
have Matched out plan to strike
quietly and quickly at the first oppor-
tunity to extend its city limits to the
Illinois state line
Another argument that is advanced
in favor of the annexation is that the
cost to night the remonstrance must be
borne by signers, and there will be
costs. whether the demonstrators arc
successful or not. The law does not
provide that money in the township
fund may be used to fight annexation
and therefore the expense falls on the
signers.
Court Cost Taxes.
Inasmuch there will be future at
tempts at annexation either by Gary o,
Hammond, in the event the present eff
fort should prove unsuccessful the
property owners would be burdenet
again with cost to fight annexation
should Hammond be unsuccessful, the
property owners have no guarantee
that Gary, Highlands or Munster woult
not make the same attempt, and while

GLEN RIDGE,
~BELLEVILLE
AND NUTLEY
REPORT MADE
BY NUTLEY SCHOOL BOARD.

The Nutley Board of Education, in
its annual financial statement for the
twelve months ending February %, ad-
~vocates the retirement of but $4,000
OF the school bonds maturing this year.
and the refunding of s15,0 0 To the
end that the citizens endeavor to OBJ
ain as soon as possible such public
improvements as shall be necessary,
the board suggests for the considera-
ton of the district the purchase of
two additional school sites while the
cost of land is no greater than at pres
ent. The schools on Church street and
Passaic avenue will be closed in Sep
TENDER. when the Washington School,
at East Nutley, will be opened with
six classes, so the town will soon face
the need of a new school.
The board believes that the value to
the community of a free library and
reading room can be secured by de-
veloping the size and efficiency OF the
present school library, and in the APP
preparation has provided $1,000 for this
p Nth the understanding that
all books bought, with the exception of
those for special school reference, are
to be turned over to any free public
library that may be established.
superintendent John r. Beachler, in
his annual report. refers TO the benefits
of medical inspection of thu school.

FORMER MEMBER
ACCUSES BOARD
OF NEGLIGENCE
Says West Orange School Was
Not Closed or Fumigated
After C0ntagion.

G. Hewlett Davis, former vice-presi-
lent Of the West Orange Board Of
Education, issued a formal statement
today on the election this afternoon IN
that town. Mr.. Davis's statement fol-
lows:
"What appears to be a case amount
ing to reprehensible negligence on the
part of our present school board has
just come to my notice, and l beg to
submit the facts just as 1 have col
lected them today from the teachers
at st. Marks School and elsewhere.
ut appears from the testimony thus
far collected that a child by the name
of Annie Fletcher was absent from st.
Marks School from the 9Th to the 10th
of February and was in attendance
there on February IA, Is, II, 20, q
and %. Upon the latter day the
nurse, Miss Cook, discovered that the
child was In the most contagious stage
of scarlet fever. the period of des-
quamation, and the peeling was so pro-
nounced that she sent the child away
from the school and reported the case
to Health Inspector DR.. Maghee.
IL appears tndI the inspector
promptly visited the home of the child
and learned that 1t had no physician,
but simply a nurse, and he at nee or
dered the other two children in the
family, who were attending school, to
remain at home. The reprehensible
negligence lies in the fact that the
school room was not closed or even
fumigated, which fact will be freely
testified to by the teachers Of st. Marks
School.
THE life of every child who was in
attendance at the school with the
Fletcher child was jeopardized, and as
a possible result of this my own O.
year-old boy Hewlett has just been
taken down with scarlet fever, and In
mn effort to trace the source of this
~contagion 1 made Investigations which
resulted In the disclosure of the above
facts.
DR.. Maghee said today hat he did
not believe the child was suffering from
scarlet fever, but that she was sent
home in order to take every precau-
ton. It is an everyday occurrence,
he declared. to discover peeling skin on
children's hands.

BOARD REFUSES
To MAKE PUBLIC
POL|CEMEN'SF FATE

Although the East Orange Police
Board last night reached decisions in
the cases of three patrolmen who were
before them on charges, the members
refused to make the decisions known to
the public.
This Establishes a precedent In East
Orange police circles, as in all other
similar cases the results have always
been given out. The officers who faced
charges last night were John Gamble,
George Law and John II. Macdonald.
The appointment of four ~patrolnen
by the board was decided upon last
night with the arrival of a certificate
from the Civil Service Commission
that the men had successfully passed
all tests. The new men are Harry G.
Gamble and Chancemen Alexander
Taggart, Frank A. Sullivan and David
McGarry. Their appointment is to
take effect on April l, but the resolu-
lion naming them first has to go before
Mayor Julian A. Gregory for his APP
prevail.
According to law the board has
power to appoint many more men, as
the 1910 census returns became official
figures on Tuesday last n have been
published In the State manual. The
civil service list is now exhausted.
however, but another examination will
be held on April 27. Five first grade
chancemen are now working regularly,
but they will probably not get the OPP
p~ortunity to continue under this ar
rangement when the four men, all of
whom are young, take up their new
duties.

BOY, IA YEARS OLD, WAS
TOO RECKLESS IN CAR.

While Patroiman Thomas Byrne was
at the Cone street station of the Lack
wanna railroad, Orange, at s o'clock
this morning he was startled to see a
lad scoot away from the depot in an
automobile that was stripped down TO
necessary framework and hurtle
through a crowd Of commuters. He
promptly called the chauffeur and
asked what his purpose was in driving
so carelessly. The lad said his en-
ployer had ridden with him to the sta
ton, boarded a train for New York
and hen sent him home with the car.
How old are your" asked the vet
eran b%luecoat.
Fourteen was the scared reply,
and the lad also admitted he had no
license to drive. The officer told him
to drive to the police station, then sud
denly asked IL he was accustomed TO
running the car.
Getting a negative reply from the
lad, the officer said: Then you win not
drive me-" and told the boy to leave
the vehicle in the roadway and make
the journey afoot.
At the police station the lad said his
name was Thomas Tornillo, OF
Mitchell street, West Orange, and his
employers name was given as Watson
J. Kluczek, of 81 Joyce street, that
town. The lad a paroled until to-
morrow. and, with his employer, will
be given a hearing for violating the
automobile laws.

ministration ticket, as the one bear
ing the names of George Il. Low,

independently, declared last night that

lar opposition ticket he would not al
low his name to be presented, but
would support the Reeve-Mor-Downey
ticket. vt. Downey's withdrawal re-
suited in Taylor being Endorsed by the
regular "antis."
That the contest tonight will be the
most bitter-fought one South Orange
has had In many years Is now assured.
Circulars were distributed by both
factions in the fight showing why their
candidates should be placed In office.
Nor, one OF the new entries
in the race. is a '~natural-born fighter"
he claims, and adds that way on the
present management of educational af-
fairs in the village has been declared"
II am for good schools, and plenty of
them, but I certainly object to fads
and fancie and the spending of 1896, coo
for classroom space to provide for 100
pupils" said the candidate today.

ticket South Orange township, which
Is included In the school district, will

tonight will be the election of two
school trustees in North Arlington to
fill the vacancies due to the expiration
of the terms of Frederick T. Hill and
Frank c. Eckhardt. Both will seek
reelection, but Richard z. Smith may
be a contender for one of the places.

NEW INSURGENTS
BLOCK MOVE To
SHAKE PLUM TREE
Democratic Majority in Orange
Common Council Splits
b. Again.

The new combination of insurgents
In the Democratic wing of the orange
Common Council blocked the attempt
last night to fill several Jobs still In
the hands of the Republicans. Council
men Kelley and Quinn were h salons
who spoiled the plans. A clash De
tween Majority Leader John Z. FIN
eran and Councilman Kelley was a
feature of the meeting.
When Leader Fineran o that the
motion to appoint city officers be taken
from the table Councilman Quinn
voted in the negative and the motion
was lost. It was then that a motion
was made by Councilman Bergman a
Republican, to adjourn. Councilman
Stetson attempted to speak, but was
cut off until the motion was put. IL
was lost by a tie vote, Z to Z.
Mr.. Stetson hen moved that the
mayors appointment of James NC
CURE as fire commissioner be taken
from the table. Councilmen keeley
and Quinn voted with the Republicans
and the motion was lost. Mr.. F-neran's
original motion had been misunder-
stood md the vote to appoint city
officers was rec%onsidered and carried.
Mr.. Quinn moved h appointment OF
Mrs. Sarah Gillen as janitress of the
Garfield street engine-house. The mo-
ton was seconded by Councilman kee-
lev and Leader Fineran angrily re-
marked that that appointment was
to have been made by US and TO- 1t
is put above our heads"
Councilman Kelley attempted TO
answer, but Councilman Fiueran said:
1--WE did not know anything about 1t"
By this time both irate men were upon
their feet.
when I don't know what you know
T don't know anything, I suppose" said
Councilman Kelley in a loud voice.
81 move the chairman appoints a
referee" called out Councilman Cheet-
ham. Councilman Quinn then said that
the reason he offered the name or Mrs
callen was because she was a poor
widow with three children and needed
the work. This motion was lost by a
vote of Z to 7. The fourth attempt 10
adjourn the meeting was then sue
c~essfully carried.
