DOG KEEPS POLICE AWAY
FROM PAINTING MASTER.

A little yellow dog stood guard over
John Casper Camp, an aged Boer, liv-
ing at Al Chestnut street, East Orange,
when he tainted yesterday afternoon
in Main street. near Grove street, from
exhaustion, and fought off Policeman
Robert Shannon when he went to place
his master in an ambulance.
Councilman Grover sent a call to po-
lice headquarters. and two police
men were sent to the scene after the
ambulance had been called. The dog
rested in the arms of Mr.. Camp, and
when the policemen approached the
animal went after them, and also kept
away a large crowd.
Deciding on a ruse Shannon had an
other dog placed nearby, and the yell
low dog went to play with it. Then
Shannon placed the man in the am
bulance. The dog hurried back and
went after the police again, but finally
became docile and rode in the ambu-
lance to the police station. The am
Eulance orderly was attacked when he
went TO help Mr.. Camp out of the We
hicle at headquarters. Mr.. Camp had
recovered by this time and there was
no further trouble.
Mr.. Camp walks daily to Newark
with the dog for exercise.

INCREASE
IN SALARIES FOR
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Majority of Harrison Board Be-
Iieved to Be Opposed to
Advances.

Making the contention that to in
crease one salary would mean an all
around jump in their annual ~stipends
the majority of the Harrison Board OF
Education has practically decided to
grant no advances in pay to the teach
ers of the schools this year. The MEM
bers declare that the amount paid now
for tutoring is at the high water mark,
and thew do not care to have it soar
any higher.
Prior to the organization of the board
last week there was considerable talk
regarding increasing the salary OF
Miss Cecilia Sullivan from $500 to
$1,000 a year. 1t was understood that
the matter was to be disposed OF be-
fore the old board disbanded, but moth
ing was done. That a fight may yet
be made for the increase is probable.
Regarding the matter one of the
commissioners said today that to IN
crease Miss S%ullivan's salary would re-
suit in other teachers applying for
more N and he thought the board
could hardly play favorites. He FUR
Their stated that it would mean an in
crease in salaries in a few years OF
almost SO, 600.
Miss Sullivan has been teaching for
more than a decade and a half, ana
has always given satisfaction. She
applied for a raise some time ago, but
her application was never officially
acted upon.
At the recent school election there
was opposition on the part of taXpay-
ers to being compelled to raise by local
tax $36. 500 for school purposes. Criti-
cism was evoked on all sides, n some
property owners went SO far as TO
give out tickets al the polls and -tsk
the voters to vote against the appro-
priation. The proposition to raise the
aforementioned amount was passed
by a vote of 1S2 to 50. About 300 votes
were cast at the election, however.
In the Harrison schools today thirty
seven teachers are employed, and the
amount needed to pay he salaries OF
the tutors for his year viii be sS7, 800.

DECISION
IN EAST NEWARK
TAX APPEAL CASE
State Board Hears Argument of
Thread Company Against Re-
valuation in Borough.

Decision was reserved by the State
Board for Equalization of Taxes at
Trenton today after hearing the argu-
ment of the Clark Thread Company, of
East Newark, to the effect that the re-
quest of the East Newark Taxpayers
Association for the State Board TO re-
value all property In East Newark be
dismissed.
The Clark Company commended that
the association was not a taxpayer,
and hence the complaint lodged uy it
should not be accepted. Th9 dssocia-
ton, composed of representative citi-
zens and taxpayers of the borough, is
en~deavoring to have equitable assess
ment. AS told some time ago. the as
ISOLATION charges that the taxes of the
individual property-owner have adj
vanced greatly in the past decade,
while the assessment of the Clark
Company has scared very little.
The present assessment on the
thread concerns property is $1,350, 600.
This amount. the association declares,
is far below the true value of the
property. John Murphy, counsel for
the association, who represented the
taxpayers, opposed the attempt Of the
Clark company to have the case killed.
Unless the State Board decides other
wise the work of revaluing the bor-
ough property will begin early in June.
Members of the executive committee
had their first intimation of the action
of the Clark Company when they read
an exclusive article that appeared In
last nights Evening STAR. Copies of
the paper were brought to the meet
ing. and the story was favorably COM
mented upon by those present.

VILLAGERS FORM
ORGANIZATION To
IMPROVE POLITICS
South Orange Citizens Efforts
May Result in Another
Political Party.

Claiming that South Orange stands
have been non-constructive and have
produced but detached suggestions of
the real needs of the village and not
accomplishments, Charles IL. Inger-
soil. the dollar watch man." at a
meeting of fourteen citizens held in
the "Flatiron'' building. yose avenue,
last night suggested an entirely new
and progressive political prospectus for
the village.
The organization, which was effect
cd with J. Budd Smith as its head and
Ray B.. Newcomb secretary, promises
to be of the leading figures in viii
lage political circles hereafter.
P~artisanship of the most objection
able type has resulted in village poll
tics, said Mr.. Ingersoll, who in the
course of his remarks declared that the
dominant party, or Citizens, for years,
though secure in its power to dc things,
did little but build well its own fences.
while claiming to represent the best
citizenship and to be an ideal non
partisan government.
To QuIz Candidates.
Candidates on both the Citizens and
Peoples tickets at the village election
to be held April % will be quizzed by
the new organization on progressive
matters, and a committee consisting
of Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Ingersoll and Yalen-
tine Hill was named to get together
a circular, 10 which it will endeavor TO
have affixed the names of as many
citizens of the village as possible. The
petition will then be presented to the
candidates of the c~ontending parties,
and if the men running for office fail
to recognize the views a progressive
ticket may be placed in the field. That
the organization name candidates this
year is not at all probable, because of
the late start; but there was talk last
to the effect that this might be
done next rear.
Mr.. Ingersoll submitted a list of
what he declared were needs for the
immediate and remote, He said
he did so in the expectation that, after
due consideration by all the voters and
revision as determined. they will be-
the working plan to which the
government of the village Will
be under obligation to the people to
carry out as rapidly as practicable.
Political expediency should not en-
ter into municipal planning, Munich
should have a definite plan, rs
successful business enterprises" said
Ingersoll. He then suggested a
number of improvements, including the
plotting of the village by engineers and
a rohifo1tS ncfa11Qtinn nf T11I1niCinQl
plant and the acquisition of
adequate w~ater-supply system. He
also suggested revision of the village
charter and the appointment of an ad-
visory committee on assessments.
