Special Session of Grand Jury of One
Day Gives Results.

The grand jury of the May term
was reconvened Tuesday morning and
after deliberating for several hours
filed into court in the afternoon and
handed up to Judge Alfred Elmer

the first time in many years that a
grand jury, after it has been excused
for the term has been reconvened.
Prosecutor Charles A. Rathbun had
the grand jurors called back, how
ever, as he had two homicide cases
that indictments were needed in at
once. The rest of the indictments
were for minor offenses though two
are for embezzlement cases, the in
dictments being needed to extradite
the men wanted.
Judge Mills in special sessions
sentenced Thomas Riley to three years
in state prison for breaking and en-
tering the store of Thomas Sharkey
in this town.
Thomas Stone was sentenced to
three months in the county Jail for
assault and battery on Constable
George Pierson when the latter at
tempted to serve a dispossess war
rant on Stone.

$45, Andrew Smithonski, of Boonton,
plead guilty and was sentenced to
one year in state prison.
+, Stephen Bagaick, of Wharton, was
fined $40 after pleading guilty to
petty larceny.
John Jhahsz, of Roekaway, plead
guilty to charge of assault and bat
terry and sentence was deferred.
After admitting his guilt John Van
dervate, of Paterson, was committed
to the Railway reformatory for steal
ing.

of organization has served a most
important purpose. The school has
developed from an educational ideal
to an institution with an obvious mis-
sion, marked individual characteristics,
and strengthening traditions
TO such work, with an assured
future before it, the need of a more
suitable organization soon became ap-
parent, and a new statute having been
passed in the meantime that made
such action possible, some years ago
an attempt was made to get the
stockholders to relinquish their hold
ings with view TO placing the school
ON a foundation basis. While large
majority of the stockholders at that
time expressed themselves in favor
of the movement, there were a few
who had not come to realize its full
meaning, and for the moment the
idea was dropped. This effort, how
ever, did much to familiarize its sup
porters with the aims of the school,
and its larger needs, and another at
tempt, begun last June, has this
time been wholly successful, and to-
day, through the generous co-opera-
ton of all the stockholders, the ont
standing stock of the corporation is
held in trust by the directors for the
purposes of reorganization.
THE new corporation will be or
ganized under the general statute of
the State of New Jersey for corpora
tions formed for reasons other than
pecuniary profit, and will be known
as the Morristown School foundation.
Under this act the corporation will
receive large administrative powers,
and, freed from the implied char
acter of a money-making institution
for the benefit of stockholders, will
be in a position to receive financial
aid by gifts or bequest from those
interested in its welfare. 1t will be
administered by a self-perpetuating
board of trustees, the nucleus of
which will be formed by the directors
of the present corporation. and the
possibility of adding more from time
to time as occasion warrants will be
provided for. The purposes of the
corporation set forth in the new
charter are as follows:
I" The purposes of the school shall
be the training of youth in such man
ner as in the discretion of the trus-
tees shall seem the broadest and
most suitable at any given period,
but always in profound, though un,
denominational religious spirit, as
most fitting the democratic character
of the institutions of our country, and
with a view to creating side by side
with academic attainment an ideai
of seryiceable citizenship, acquired
through the democratic character of
the school and such cooperative share
in its discipline by the scholars as
may seem best.
1t is now about ten years since
the self-government idea mentioned
in the charter) was introduced; and
besides being excellent training for
the future good-citizenship, it has re
suited in some unforeseen advantages,
s,lch as the develoDment of a sense
of responsibility, one of the most
difficult traits to teach the Ameri-
