MIXED IN ANSWERING
ELECTION QUESTIONS

Trenton, Sept. 15:-The Supreme
Court remained in session until after
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, while
lawyers from various parts of the
state presented applications for
wfits xof mandamus to compel Off
Gals to do things supposed to be
required by the new Geran election
law. Some puZZling propositions
we're put up to the Court and no de-
cisions were announced. Frank Nc
Kee, a lawyer of Bridgeton, who
would like to run for county COM
mitteeman, filed a petition to compel
City Clerk Jacob Jones to have his
name printed on the primary ticket.
The Clerk held that twenty days no
tice was required, while Mckee re
lied upon a section of the law max
ing only fifteen days necessary.
The Secretary of State in print
ing the election laws was unable to
determine which of the sections
should pevail. He put the PROPOSE
ton up to the Attorney Generals
Office and was advised that the puz-
zle was too much for that depart
ment. Then said the Secretary
of State, well print both sections
in the election laws, let candidates
select which one they prefer, and
then fight it out in the aurts if
there is any further trouble" This
is being done in the case of Mckee
vs.. Jones.

NO OBJECTION
TO INSTRUCTOR
Carpenters Explain Their
Protest to the School Board.

A. A. Quinn, of the carpenters
union, stated today that a wrong
impression had been given in con-
nection with the union mems visit
to the Board of Education Tuesday
night, especially in regard to the
manual training teacher. Mr..
Quinn wants it empbatically under
stood that the union has absolutely
no complaint to make against Miss
Wells, who is the instructor in this
branch. If they had objected to
her, Mr.. Quinn says, they would
nave protested long ago. The object
of the visit to the school board as
far as the manual training teacher
is concerned was that as the an
nouncement has been made that
Miss Wells is engaged to be mar
ried, the carpenters in anticipation
of a vacancy, merely appeared for
the position for one of their men
whom they considered fully quail
fed to fill the position.
AS for the assistant janitor, the
union men believed that as his time
is largely taken up in doing the odd
Jobs about the schools, it would be
more economical for the school
board to employ a man who Is a.
practical mechanic, that in the hand
ling of material and the expert way
of doing the work would save the
city money in the long run. The
fact that the present assistant jan
1tor came here as a strike breaker
on the Lehigh Valley railroad sew
eral years ago was not mentioned at
the meeting of the school board.

JOHN M. TUhlS MEETS
DEATH NEAR HIS HOME

Freehold, Sept. 15.-Carrying a
gift of fruit to a neighbor and intent
upon his errand of good cheer. John
NJ. Tunis, a retired farmer of How
ell, failed Wednesday to hear the
warning sounds of an EXPRESS train.
He was ground to death near his
home. Mr.. Tunis was eighty-three
years old, but quite active.
He started from his home TO visit
a neighbor, and was carrying a 5as-
ket of grapes and tomatoes. Freight
cars were on either side of the main
track at Howell Station. and a
freight locomotive was drilling cars
nearby, thus helping to drown the
noise of an approaching express
train. AS Mr.. Tunis neared the
crossing, a storekeeper, 100 yards
distant, shouted a warning to him.
When Mr.. Tunis had a foot upon the
rail of the crossing he was seen to
start and try to jump aside. The
driving wheel of the locomotive bore
him down. The engineer and fire
man of the train knew nothing of
the accident until they were signall-
ed to stop at Farmingdale, several
miles east, the agent at Howell hav-
ing telegraphed word of the accident
ahead.
The engineer was on the opposite
side of the engine from that which
struck Mr.. Tunis. Coroner Robert
NJ. Purdy, of Manasquan. viewed the
remains and gave permit for its re-
moval to his home, yhere funeral
services were held at 2 O'Clock to-
day. Mr.. Tunis's nearest relatives
are a brother, Charles Tunis, of
Howell, and a sister, Mrs. Tunis Dem
Use, of Freehold.

SAYS
SHOW is FINE
Acts of Real Merit at Proc
tors Theatre.

/ suppose folks are kicking now
because it's coId-some people are
never satisfied. The only way to feel
perfectly C~Cutented lIiEe me- is to
journey to PrOct0r's and forget your
troubles by watching the shows that
come there every week. It'll give
you something TO think about be-
sides weather, honest to goodness it
viii. And say, bring the kids along
too, they'll be kept busy after they
get home trying to do stunts. All
you need is a bottle Of arnica, and
you'll have the time Of your life.
Emile GerOme does some dandy
tricks. He's an acrobat and the way
he falls around would get your goat
all right. He does some good balanc-
ing too. He'd be fine to try and imi-
tate. Go to it kids. Come watch
him.
If you want to get a good laugh
you ought to see Copeland e. Payton,
two colOred fellows, in a scene on q
Pullman dining car called The Last
Call for Dinner" They've struck q
new idea and have got a fine line Of
talk and hand it out as good as ]
ever heard. And they can sing too.
One of the fellows dresses very classy
in cream colored suit trimmed with
red satin-oh, Lizzie-and sings a
solo, That's Why they Call Ne
Shine" He sure made a hit all right.
The other fellow just dresses like q
waiter, but he's the laugh getter.
E. Warren Hatch & Company, in
Miss Cupid was pretty good. It's
n r1y-+ ne u1r4oh r-l 4La +--- -I~7~r-
and the man put on a character
makeup that can't be beat for down
right homeliness. I suppose that's
part Of the play, but give me beauty
every time. The story is funny and
keeps you laughing. It's about an
old fellow who wants to marry q
rich widow that lives next door. He
pretends he's a widower and gives
the maid the tip to make IA she's
his daughter. OF course she mixes
everything up and when the old guy
tells the widow he's got a son too,
and sends the maid out for him and
she brings in a cOIored boy, there is
some howl They all act their parts
good but gee, I wish they were good
looking.
Gertrude Carlisle & Company sure
were bully, and say. Gertrude makes
some classy kid and she knows her
business toe. They've got what you
call a musical skit. Gertrude plays
big sister and little sister and the
company is the beau. He sure a
rattle the piano and he's got a cork
ing song, zone O'clock in the Morn
ing" AS the little sister Miss Car
Isle gives away on big sister and
gets a big laugh. She's the prettiest
kid you ever saw. Gee, I wish ] was
younger 60. It's one good act, take
it from Freddie.
The Busch De We're Four is some
act, believe me. There's two skirts
and two fellows. They sing, recite
and play the brass instruments fine.
= eer heerd5-he is sure some eorne1
PLAYER is Billy Busch. Miss Nay
Busch sings and recites il a corking
fine way, almost made me weep. They
carry picture slides with them that
illustrate everything they do and
sure makes it interesting cause you
can tell what's going on. It's a
peacy act and l vas sorry when the
curtain went down. Guess III buy
a cornet and get busy
Pictures were dandy. Two Indian
pictures, fine! So long.
