REFUSE To |ND|CT
BROTHER EGBERT
Shaker Who ChlOrof0rmed
Woman to Death to Be
Set Free.

KISSIMMEE, Fla, Dec. BY what
is understood to have been a close
vote, the grand jury here yesterday
refused to return an indictment charg-
ing either murder or manslaughter
against Egbert Gillett and Elizabeth
Sears, members of the Shaker colony,
who were accused by a coroner's jury
of having taken the life of Sadie Mar
chant, another enthusiast of the sect,
by chloroforming her.
Predictions have been made freely
that if the two Shakers were put on
trial there would never be a conviction.
This sentiment appears to have so in
vaded the grand jury room that they
will never even be put on trial. al
though some subsequent grand jury
may take up the matter.
Announcement was made last night
that Gillett, who has been confined
in the county Jail since his arrest. will
be released from custody today and
that Elizabeth Sears, the woman
prisoner, will be released from the
$4,000 bail bond she gave

SEER
HIS CITY JOB

Acting on the recommendation of the
public building committee, the Common
Council last night dismissed John j.
Seery, an engineer at the City Hall, by
a vote of II to 3. Among the charges
preferred against Seery by Chief Engi-
neer Gottfried Dries was the injury of
an engine, but the accused man de-
clared he could prove this occurred
through the dropping of dirt and grit
from the pipes above. Seery's petition
for a hearing was refused.
Alderman Biertuempfel urged the
Council to concur with the recommen-
dalton of the committee, ttas it was
time discipline was established in the
engineering department. Alderman
Congleton asked that Seery be allowed
a hearing, but it was c%ontended by AL
derman Reynolds that if Seery was en-
titled to redress he could have it by APP
plying to the Civil Service Commission.

NEW YORK AND
PARIS HIT, PINK
LADY," COMING
Klaw & Erlanger Will Present
Musical Comedy at the New
ark Next Week.
FUN IN MANY VARIETIES
FOR PR0CTOR'S NEXT WEEK
Programs at Other Houses Also
Bristle With Promise of
Fine Entertainment.

For the week beginning Monday
night at the Newark Theatre, with
matinees Wednesday I'M Saturday aft
ernoon. Klaw & Erlanger will present
their musical comedy dc luxe, THE
Pink Lady"
This reigning success of the musical
comedy stage OF our decade will be
interpreted by a notable cast, at the
head of which will be found the droll-
est of American comedians, Frank Dan
iels. Around him will be found one of
those artistic and colorful productions
for which Klaw g. Erlanger are noted,
with the exception in this case that this
firm has fairly outdone its W en-
viable reputation.
THE Pink Lady" has just turned it's
run of over $50 performances at the
New Amsterdam Theatre in New York
city, where 1t set up a record for
popularity which is destined to stand
for many a season.
In casting about for the reasons of
this wonderful vogue one has not 10
seek far. First of all the piece is a
splendid combination of story and
music set forth as delightfully."- as 1t
could possibly be outlined by the adj
vanced art of stage producing.
The book and lyrics are by G. M. S.
Mcclellan, being his adaptation Of the
French farce, lie Satyre," which
Georges Berr and Marcel Guillemaud
introduced to Paris at the Palais Royal,
where 1t ran for a year before it was
taken as the spur for the finest musical
comedy book that has ever been intro
duced to the American stage. In fur
thering the good effects of this story,
Ivan Caryll, of the Gayety Theatre,
London, to whose credit is placed most
Of the exquisite music of the greatest
hits of the Edwardses regime in that
theatre. has evolved a score SO full of
delightful music that it Is difficult to
particulariZe. A note of worth in his
connection Is the fact that Mr.. Caryll
has made his score an essential part of
the story, rather than a musical accom-
paniment to 1t. His numbers belong in
their respective places and are not
tossed in at random just for pleasing
effects. The total result is a book and
score dependent upon each other and
making a combination thai is irresist-
ible.
Klaw & Erlanger, celebrating this
basic worth, have built around the
music and situations of the piece a
production that is carefully thought
out. Harmony marks every detail of
the color scheme, and for effectiveness
and beauty this detail of 1.-THE Pink
Lady" could not be improved upon
The story is funny, the music de-
nghtful, the production a gorgeous one.
In the cast with Mr.. Daniels will be
found Morgaret Romano, Ada Lewis,
Ruth Thorpe, Raymond Bottomley, Os-
borne Clemson, John j. Scanned and
Scott Welsh.
Mrs. Fiske and the Manhattan COM
pany will begin a week. engagement at
the Newark Theatre on Monday, De-
cember II, presenting Harry James
Smiths comedy. Mrs. Bumpstead-
Leigh" in which Mrs. Fiske made a
decided success last season at the Ly-
ceum Theatre. New York.

Attempting to solve the problem of
making ends meet in the management
OF financial affairs next year and to
avoid calling on the people to vote an
extra levy for school purposes, the
board OF education at a meeting last
fight decided to abolish three posi-
tioHs at least for the coming year.

Tie salary of the superintendent was

tire question OF salaries will be finally
settled at a meeting next week.
Explaining the situation that CON
fronts the board, one of the members
said, under an act passed by the last
legislature, it is mandatory on the
board not to contract any debt which
the tax levy for this year is not suffi-
cient to pay and such a debt If con
tracted is void against the school dis
trict but is personal obligation against
the board. Not knowing what the tax

pie to vote a higher levy than five

psnses for next year within tn neces-
sary limits. The board wants to have
9-months school next year without
asking for any increase in the levy
I'd to do that it will require close fig
urins and strict economy.
Heretofore it has been possible to
run behind in our expenses for one
year and make it up the next year but
under the new law this can't be done
We have managed to get along this
year without accumulating any debts
and taxes for the surrent year will pay
out everything when all of it is col

The situation which confronts us
