ADDITION TO
HIGH SCHOOL
Special Meeting of Board OF
Education Is Called for
Tomorrow Night.
ACTION Is URGENT
Building Now Crowded.
Board of Estimate Will
Consider Matter Sat.
ACTION is URGENT

Crowded to its utmost capacity at
the present time and facing the addi-
ton of 100 students to its roll next
fall, a special meeting Of the Board
Of Education has been called by
President John K. Sheehy for tomor-
row night to consider the proposi-
ton of an addition to and the re-
modelling of, the high school, to pro-
vide for seven more class rooms. A
meeting of the Board of School Esti-
mate has been called for Saturday
night to pass on the proposition and
it is expected that the Board of AL
dermen will approve the action of
these two boards on Monday night
and arrange to finance the necessary
improvement.
Every Glass Room In Use.
Every available class room space
in the high school is now utilized. All
during the present school year the
Board of Education has been facing
the proposition Of how it will take
care of 100 additional pupils In the
high school next year with other ad-
ditions in future years, as the popu-
lation Of the city increases. 1t was
planned at one time to remove the
school on State street and erect a
new high school. This proposition
meant the expenditure Of between
$150,000 and 100000, which was
regarded as prohibitive, considering
the city's present financial condition.
Building Committees Plans.
Other plans were then suggested
until the present scheme was in
volved and is now being developed in
the hands of C. r. Fletcher, chair
man of the building committee. The
present plan of the board, which will
be acted upon tonight, will take care
of the high school needs of the city
for the next three to five years at a
cost Of about one-tenth Of a new high
school building.
An addition is planned to the
south of the present building, sew
enty-six by thirty-two feet, two sto-
ries in height. This building is plan
ned to set twenty feet away from
the present high school building, the
old and new structures to be con-
nected, like the balls of a dumb-beIl,
with a two-story passageway. Ar
chitectually the new structure will
be in conformity with the present
building. The narrow neck connect
ing the two structures will give free
access of light and air to both old
and new buildings.
Change the Laboratory.
The laboratory located on the first
floor in the center of the high school
building at the present, will prob
ably be transferred to the upper floor
of the proposed addition, and the
space now occupied by the labora-
tory will be thrown into a general
class room. The assembly room or
auditorium is planned to be cut up
into six class rooms. The first loor
Of the addition would probably be
used as an assembly room until such
time that 1t might be found neces-
sary to cut it up into class rooms.
In this plan as outlined in brief
the Board of Education believes that
1t has found solution to the diff
culties which confront it in taking
care Of the anticipated influx Of stu
dents beginning the next school year

OPINION IN
DISTRICT CT
Lawyers Must Answer Calls
on Taks Consequences.

In an opinion handed down in the
District Court this morning Judge John
w Reekman said that hereafter if the
lawyer for the plaintiff did not answer
when the case was marked for call, and
the defendant did, the plaintiffs law
yer takes the risk of having the case
non-suited, providing the opposition 80
moved and can show good cause for
such action. Judge Beekman' IS stand is
taken after numerous instances where
cases marked for call were postponed
by messenger or communication.
Peter A. Peterson lodged a complaint
yesterday with District Court Clerk
Jesse Colyer in regard to three cases
he wished adjourned. Judge Beekman
set down two for next Monday and
the other was marked as not moved.
Lawyer Peterson made his request in
q communication to the clerk.

Especial Correspondence J

Especial CorTespondence.)
Trenton, April 7:-Assembi iy-
man Elmer H. Geran, author OF the
Geran election law, who has served
one year in the lower house repre-
senting Monmouth county, Will be
candidate for state senator next
fall The announcement Of his de-
termination to permit the use of his
name at the primaries was not made
until yesterday. Friends of Assem-
blyman Geran realize that he may
have a hard fight at the primaries,
but they are hopeful that he will get
the nomination.
Assemblyman Geran is a native of
Monmouth county. He was born at
Matawan, October "a, 1875, and is q
lawyer by profession. He was grad
uated from Peddie Institute al
Hightstown, and from Princeton
University, in the class Of 1899. He
was graduated from the New York
Law School, and for time was asso-
ciated with Collins and Corbin, Jer-
sey City. Mr. Geran has an office il
that city as we'll as in his home town
Matawan.
He was a candidate for the Assem-.
bly, in 1910 and had a plurality Of 2,
119 over Peter Vredenburgh, the
high man on the Republican Assem-,
bly, ticket. Always a warm admirel
Of Governor Woodrow Wilson, he
was glad of the opportunity of beine
on the same ticket with him. The
Wilson" tidal wave was of benefit
to Mr.. Geran as we'll as to many 9th.
ers throughout the state.
Senator Browns Record.
O, H. Brown, of Spring Lake
Beach, the Republican whose tern
as state senator will expire, has had
an exceptional record. In 1902 he
defeated Dr.. Hugh S. Kinmonth by
the narrow margin of 153. In 1906
he again defeated the doctor by g..
364; and in 1908 he was elected BY
a majority Of 1898 over Lawrence
the Democratic candidate
Mr.. Brown will not permit the use
OF his name for the state Senate this
year. 1t Is believed that he will
make an effort to be named for Con.
gress on the Republican ticket one
year hence, when, it is hoped by the
Republicans, the presidential fght
will aid them in regaining the dis
trict. However, should Governor
Wilson be the nominee for president
on the Democratic ticket, the district
might remain Democratic.
That Mr.. Geran, of nominated,
would have a good chance to be
elected is the belief in political cir
cles here. He made an excellent rec
ord in the Assembly; he had a good
majority last year, and the prestige OF
being author of the election law
ought to stand him in good stead. II
elected, 1t Is conceded, he would
make good state senator.

Special 70 the EVENING wEwg.

Special TO the EVENING EEWs.
Port Reading, April 27:-Reputed
as two Of the most desperate men in
! this community, Andre John
Sasso, brothers, were a ssted here
yesterday by County Detective Rich
ard A. Peltier, charged with atro-
cious assault upon Sabato Romag-
nulo. By a clever ruse Detective Pei
tier decoyed the men into a shanty
on the Philadelphia & Reading rail-
road piers and clamped handouts up
on them as they entered one at a.
time. The men are now held in lew
Brunswick, awaiting the action Of
the grand jury.
Cut Throat With Knife.
On April IA the Sasso brothers are
said to have attacked Romagnulo,
one Of them slashing his throat open
with a knife. They are said to have
deliberated after this action as to
whether or not they should put
bullet into him from a revolver
which one Of them had, but, thinking
that he was already done for, they
left him on the ground and departed
to nearby resort. The man revived.
however, and sought DR.. Ira Spen-
GER, Of Woodbridge, who sewed up
his slashes with numberless stitches.
Complaint was made that night to
Officer Macdonald of this place and
it is said that he refused to appre-
hend the two men, although their
whereabouts were known.
Prosecutors Office Acts
The county prosecutors Office them
took the matter up and got in touch
with Special Officer Moore of the P.
& r. railroad, who chose not
to interfere in the matter as the Sas-
so brothers were in the employ of
the railroad on it's coal docks. Yes
terday County Detective Peltier took
the matter in hand and visited the
scene. Knowing the reported des-
! perate character Of the two men, and
| rather than engage in an open melee
with them, he devised a scheme to
place them in bondage without any
difficulty.
Clever Ruse Worked.
Seeing one Of the dock foremen
privately, he arranged that the Sas-
so brothers should be sent from
where they were working on Pier
No. 3, TO Pier No. l, where the de-
tective was located in the shanty,
/ Andrew was sent first with some
tags, apparently. to be used 6-sons
one waiting for them in the shanfy.
AS the man entered handouts were
snapped upon him by the detective,
A little later John was sent over with
note and was also presented with a
pair Of bracelets. Detective Peltier
then took the two men to the county
seat.
| Man Who Fired Haystack.
Romagnulo stood trial last month
/ at New Brunswick and was convict
ed Of setting the haystack OF Wood
bridge man on fire. 1t is said that
the county authorities will bring
charges against Officer Macdonald d
for not acting and arresting the Sas-
SO brothers on the night they are
charged with assaulting RomagnuIo,
