NEW SCHOOL LAWS
AFFECT CITIES ONLY

Trenton, May 5:-The new school
laws wipe out the State Board of Edu-
cation and the local boards of eduea-
ton in cities, but they do not affect
the local boards in towns, townships
and %boroughs. That is the statement
issued yesterday by Senator Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen, Of Somerset, in response
to numerous inquiries from all over
the State.
He says: "The school bill affecting
local Boards of Education in towns,
townships and b~oroughs did not pass
the Legislature. The bills that did
wipe out local school boards affects
cities only"
In Jersey City a new Board of Edu-
cation of nine members will he ap-
pointed by the Mayor next January.
Governor Wilson will appoint a new
State Board of Education at the end
of June. It will consist of eight men,
bers, four Republicans and four Demo

BRIGGS ON
L0RIMER CASE
Denies that He Had Secret
Conference With Secretary.
Special TO tbs EVENING NEWS.

Washington, May 5:-senator Briggs
of New Jersey, to-day denied the
charge made in several newspapers
that he had had a secret meeting with
William Ward, private secretary to
Senator Lorimer, in the way Of aiding
the Illinois man in his determination
to prevent another investigation into
the charges Of corruption In his cleo
ton.
Senator Briggs says that his meeting
with Secretary Ward was not of a Sc
cret nature and concerned a legitimate
subject. The New Jersey senator ex-
plains that Senator Lorimer obtained
the idea that the reference of the La
Toilette resolution to the contingent
expenses committee was for the pur-
pose of allowing the members OF this
committee to determine the main ques-
ton of whether or not an investigation
was again to be instituted. As a re-
suit of this understanding of the SIT.
uation Senator Lorimer telegraphed to
his secretary to see Mr.. Briggs, as
chairman of the committee, and request
that q hearing be given him (Lori-
mer) before the matter was decided. 1t
was for this purpose, Mr.. Briggs says,
that Secretary Ward interviewed him,
and practically all of the conversation
between them was carried on by SEN
ator Briggs explaining that his COM
mittee would not determine the main
Question, but merely decide as to
whether the expense of IN investiga-
ton, If it was authorized by the SEN
ate, would be approved.
Senator Lorimer also personally tele-
graphed from Chicago to Mr., Briggs
asking that he be given a chance to
advance reasons why another investi-
cation of his case should not be made.
The report Of the committee which
Mr.. Briggs presented yesterday which
authorized the expense, but diselaim-
ed any purpose of attempting to say
whether or not the Senate should order
an investigation, was written by Sena-
tor Williams, one of the minority mem
bers.
A close friend of Senator Lorimer
In the Senate Is authority for the
statement hat there Is undoubtedly a
majority of that body now opposed to
him, and several Senators who voted
to sustain him in the last Congress will
not do 30 again. The opponents of
tSenator Lorimer count forty-eight sure
| votes against him at that time, and
they claim this is a conservative esti-
mate.
Other friends of Senator Lorimer,
who were associated with his actual
election in Illinois have recently ex-
pressed the private opinion that Sen
ator Lorimer should resign his seat
rather than jeopardize his real friends
