ENGLISH EMBLEM
NOT DISPLAYED
At THE SCHOOLS
Principals Declare Question of
Flying British Flag Closed
Incident.

The proposal TO fly the British flag
over two of the public schools of the
city, the Miller Street School and the
Madison school, was regarded as "a
closed incident at the City Hall today,
there being no possibility that the en-
blem will wave to celebrate the .coro-
nation OF King George V.
Alexander r. Glennie, principal OF
the Miller Street School, said this morn
ing that hei too, regarded 4he affair as
d closed incident. He said there WAS
no desire to fly the flag in disregard
TO the wishes of The Mayor and the
Board of Education. AT the Madison
School, where Samuel II. McIlroy
is principal, it vas said that the Brit
ish flag would not be flown.
More protests were received at the
Mayors office today against the dying
of the flag.
Assistant Superintendent OF Schools
j. Wilmer Kennedy, who suggested the
innovation, still adheres to the idea
that it would be unobjectionable to ay
the English flag above the two schools.

Mrs. Walter Force, Whose Hus-

Again Visits Jail.

Mrs. Walter Force, the young bride
of Walter Force. who is locked up in
the county jail for shooting Walter
Levenguth n Hugh Porter while he
and his wife were being serenaded in
their home in Livingston Monday night,
visited the jail yesterday and today
and saw her husband. 1t was with diff
fleulty that she restrained herself from
causing a scene as she did in the West
Orange police station, where upon being
admitted to her husbands cell she re-
fused TO leave it, sobbing Historically
that she would keep at his side until
THE bitter end"
Yesterday and today during her visits
to the county Jail she appeared pale
and wan and plainly showed that it
was hard for her to be composed. She
took fruit and dainties to her husband
and begged the warden to let her stay
a little longer than the prescribed
time. 70 a friend she confided a belief
that her husband would be freed.

Meirick Alleges Package Was

ems the P. S. c.

The continuance of the c~onsroyers
between Julius M, Meirick, c 27 South
Orange avenue, and the Public Service
Railway Company over the size of a
package which may be carried on a
car depends on the response of the
company to a letter which Mr.. Meiriek
mailed last night, Accord 9 to the lat
ter. Mr.. Meiriek today declared he had
been gnjustly treated by the inspector
and conductor of the Springfield ave-
nue. car which he boarded late last
night at the Market street depot OF the
Pennsylvania railroad.

Mr.. Meirick admitted he refused TO
