It was the camera Man,s FauIt.

The LOS trolley car was fifteen
minutes late to-day. An amateur
photographer held up the trolley at
Morris Plains while he took picture.
The delay was just sufficient to catch
the car at the foot of Speedwell hill
instead of its being at its destination
at Park place when something went
wrong with the power. Quite few of
the passengers had remarks to make
about the snapshooter in consequence.

STATE BOARD OF Ed
UCATI0N ORGANIZES
j. Br0gnard Belts Re-appOint-
cd as Assistant.

DR.. Calvin N. Kendall, commits
sioner of education, was assured by
the state board of education Friday
that he would have free hand in
the making of all appointments pro-
vided by the new school law, which
makes such appointments subject to
confirmation by the state board. DR..
Kendall was also assured that politics
would not be tolerated in the conduct
of the school affairs of the state.
Before going into the matter of ap-
pointments, it was decided to confer
with the Civil Service commission to
determine just what appointments
must be made in accordance with the
provisions of the civil service act.
Gardner Colby, of the Civil Service
commission, was called upon, and he
said he did not think there was any
any doubt but that the commissioner
could select the deputy commissioner
without civil service test, but he
preferred to have the matter of the
other assistants turned over to the
commission for their determination.
AS it seemed clear that one assist
ant or deputy could be selected with
out taking civil service examination,
Commissioner Kendall decided to ap-
point ]. Brognard Belts, of North
Plainfield, as one of the four assist
ants. Mr.. Belts was deputy superin-
tendent under the old administration
and had charge of the legal and Of
flee work of the new department.
DR.. Kendall will return to Indian
apolis to clear up some of the mat
tiers in connection with the position
of superintendent of schools in that
city and will return to Trenton on
September 1st, when he will assume
full charge of the new position. Dur
ing his absence the duties of the Of
flee will be attended to by Mr.. Belts.
In order to clear up the defect il.
the dismissal of Mrs. Clara Tindall,
who was dismissed from the Deal
Mute school in Trenton without the
filing of formal charges as provided
In the civil service law, the new board
Friday adopted a resolution suspend
ing Mrs. Tindall pending the prefer
ment of formal charges against her
for acts disclosed by the old board,
who dismissed her without the usual
notice and opportunity for a hearing.
Just before the board adjourned, to
meet ON August Sth, President Schauf-
fler announced the following COM
mittees.
Advisory, Messrs. Schauffler. Muir
ray and Rice; Montclair Normal
school, Messrs. Osborne. Schauffler
and Van Dyke; state Normal school
at Trenton, Messrs. Ford, Van Dyke
and Craven; State School for the
Deaf. Messrs. Murray, Ford and Rice;
Industrial School for Colored youth,
Messrs. Craven, Rice and Murray.
When the constitutionality of the
appointment of Senator Joseph s.
Frelinghuysen is cleared up the COM
mittees may be changed so as to in
clude the Somerset senator. He will
in all probability take the committees
which President Schauffler announced
for himself.

tie, when McNish let Swenson's
grounder percolate through the legs.
Captain Mike Doyle went to the
plate and took hefty swing but the
result was foul that Pete Lamar
grabbed. Swenson stole second base,
however, after the foul was caught.
Then up stepped Maloney. He picked
out one of Ellisons offerings and
planted it as a Texas Lacquer in
right field and Swenson scored the
winning run.
It was good game all the way
through. Morristown took the game
from the Newark Athletics by score
of five to four. Swenson hurled for

the ball for one of his old time
crashes, getting two bags on the poke
and scoring Glennon. Swenson then
hit for a single that Tailed Ahles.
The locals then rested until the sew
enth. 1t was Swenson who negotiated
the run, getting in a bingle and pur-
loining the second bag. Captain

Newark started something doing in
the fifth when Glennon dropped Van
SAINTS fly to left field. Swenson de-
flected McNish's hot liner through
the box with one hand and 1t went
for a hit. Ellison then came across
with single, Shields sacrificed,
Swenson to Maloney. Vests error

HORSE IN RIVER.
Its Quest for Grass Brings Equine
to Grief.

70 1fiCts
When Lemel Pierson left his horse
and buggy standing in front of a
Water street blacksmith shop Friday
afternoon while he went inside the
horse began eating away at the grass
in front of the place. So engrossed
with it's meal did the equine become
that it finally walked over the edge
of a wall and fell eight feet to the
Whippany river.
Pierson with other men descended
to the river and found the horse with
its body lying in the water munching
contentedly away at few tufts of
grass on the bank. The animal was
not injured and was led out without
difficulty-though still hungry.
