only the total amount of the bill
given, was affixed to the report.
The report of Mr.. Hammer stated
that his Investigations related par
ticularly to the Prince street, South
Canal street and Newton street
grounds, where evening centres are
maintained. He referred to the dirty
floors, ceilings, woodwork and furni-
ture at Price street and their need of
repair. and declared that the fact
hat the building included two old
dwelling houses was not a sufficient
excuse for these conditions, and hat
their effect upon the children, who
should be taught cleanliness, must
be demoralizing.
OF the Newton street grounds Mr..
Hammer said they re- mot so bad
as the Prince street centre, but that
the interior of the building was in
disorder and dirty; that cigarette
packages and butts were lying on the
floor. -,44.
The report said of the South Canal
street grounds hat the field house
| there was in better condition than
| those of the two thert centres and
that the room used by the Sommer
Club was in good order. Sanitary
conditions in the house were not what
they should be, however, and a room
used by small children WAS in great
confusion. An alleyway was unlight-
ed and the toilets were both unlight-
ed and insanitarys
"At 10 o'clock each night" said
Mr.. Hammer, the lights oil these
three Fairgrounds are turned out and
the directors and their assistants
leave. The gates, however. are not
closed and the places remain open all
night. The numerous lark corners,
where the lights from the street can
not penetrate, surely invite trouble.

ing temptation in the way of its
young people.

Find Vote Fraud
in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 22.-Discov-
cry of the alleged miscounting OF
votes on the constitutional amend
ment permitting women to hold office
in Louisiana has resulted in a general
investigation by the Orleans parish
grand jury. As a sequel to examina-
ton of three ballot boxes, seventeen
election officials have been indicted.
The box in one river front precinct
upon being counted showed so for
and 81 against the amendment, near
ly half of the voters not marking
their ballots. The tally sheets for
this precinct showed six votes "for"
and 175 against the amendment.
1t is said that nineteen other pro-
posed amendments received like
treatment.
All documents and ballot boxes
have been ordered sealed pending
completion of the jury's investiga-
ton.

from his office, smoking a
cigar and giving other evidences
of being a type of man not suited for
work of this kind. The place was in
~inexcusable disorder and no attempt
seemed to De made to make the field
house anything but a loafng place
for the boys, and a most unwholesome
one at that. Surely no city can afford
to tolerate conditions like this, much
less to pay for them.

REFORMS
AT ELLIOT ST.
Old Needs of School Revived at
Meeting of Parents in An
cient Structure.
TO PRESENT NEEDS TO BOARD

Through action taken last night by
about $50 people who attended a par
ents' reception at the Elliot Street
School, Principal Charles Grant Shat
fer was authorized to appoint a COM
mittee to present the sentiment of the
meeting as to the schools needs to
the Board of Education. The COM
mittee will be backed further by a
petition, signatures for which are now
being obtained.
The protest that found voice again
last night was urgently pressed upon
the Board of Education some time
g through the Parents Association,
now ~disbanded. Last nights meeting
was informal and was termed a re-
ception.
The old Elliot street building, Mr..
Shaffer told his hearers, was in very
bad condition. Vibration, ascribed by
a previous investigation to the wood
en- beaping of the building, was so
pronounced, Mr.. Shaffer continued,
that the authorities had ordered all
marching by pupils stopped. When
the children marched, MI. Shaffer as
serted, he had seen gas fixtures sway
as much as from four to- six inches.
Besides this, Mr.. Shaffer added, no
playground facilities were at the pu-
pills disposal, as the school possesses
neither gymnasium nor yard. The
cooking HlaEC nnJ1inpannf f11 Nv
Shaffer declared, was a secondhand
assortment of apparatus that had
been given over to the Elliot Street
School only when vigorous protest
had been made to Superintendent Po-
land. Eli Pickwick, MI. Shaffer said,
had been instrumental in securing
what equipment the school possessed
for this purpose.
Hamilton T. Disbrow, who served
as president of the former Parents
Association, and John Montieth. Mr..
Disbrow's predecessor in that office,
spoke in denunciation of the condi-
tions that were permitted at the
school.
After Mr.. Montieth had declared
hat there is no school in the city in
so bad a condition as the old Elliot
Street School," Mr.. Disbrow moved to
empower Mr.. Shaffer to appoint a
committee to wait on the Board of
Education.
After the more formal part of the
evening had passed, Mr.. Shaffer led
the visiting parents through the
building. As they passed from floor
to floor, the speakers assertions as to
the buildings condition were appa-
rently verified by the quaking of the
floor beneath the visitors feet.
The work of the children during the
past month was inspected. Mr.. Shat
fer drew the parents attention to the
many new paintings which adorn the
schoolroom walls. Approximately
$500, he declared, had been spent re-
Gently on them.

SLAYERS
DENY THEIR GUILT
Five Held as Murderers Plead.
Change Charge Against
Woman.

! Five alleged murderers pleaded not
guilty to indictments charging them
with murder in the Court of Oyer and
Terminer before Judge William P.
Martin, while a charge of murder
against a woman was nolle prosduied
and she was allowed to plead guilty
to a charge of ~concealing a birth.
The woman was Mrs. Emma Beers,
of Bloomfield, who on July 3 last was
arrested after the partially-burned
body of an infant child had been
found in the furnace of a house
where the mowan had been employed
as a ervant. She admitted she had
tried to burn the body of the child
while her employers were away from
home, but insisted that the child had
been dead at its birth. Ror this reason
the murder charge against her was
not pressed.
Raffaele Berlingieri, Cresenczo
Lombardo and Salvatore Loponi, the
three Italians who are charged with
shooting Policeman John j. McGov-
ern, of the Second precinct, to death
at the corner of Crane and Webster
streets, on the night of October 1S
last, after the officer had placed them
under arrest, pleaded not guilty to
the charge. Their trial was set for
February 4, 1918, before Judge Mar
tin.
BY q curious circumstance the in
dictment charging the three men
with the murder of John J. Meow
ern Is signed by John j. Macgovern,
as foreman of the grand jury.
Joseph Ferrara, who on June 81
last is said to have shot and killed
his brother Salvatore during a quar-
rel at their home, IS Delaney street,
also pleaded not gnilty. and will be
tried before Judge Martin on Janu-
airy q next.
The last to plead to a murder
charge was William Overton, a negro.
who on June IS last is charged with
having hanged his wife and infant
'child to a bedpost at their home, GA
Waverly avenue, and then disap-
peared, only to give himself up to
the police a fe wdays later. At that
time he pleaded insanity. and it Is
believed this will be tn edefense put
forth by James r. McDermit at his
trial, which will take place before
Judge Harry V. Osborne on February
II next.

~eannonading heard from the hills of
Gonstantinople.
The Servian march TO the Adriatic
receives high praise from the Times
| correspondent at San Giovanni de
Medua, who speaks in flattering terms
of the stamina and excellent or
ganization of the Seryian army.
Two divisions following different
routes to Alessio suffered great
hardships for three days. The cold
was intense while crossing the NOUN
tain passes through deep snow. Then
rain began and for the rest of the
march the troops were soaked to the
skin.
No meat could be obtained and
bread, which had to be brought from
the base, ran short. A large number
of horses died on the way, but there
we're only four deaths and little sick
ness among the men. They We're so
hungry on their arrival that the doc
tors prohibited meat from being
served for a day for fear of producing
i'll effects.
A Belgrade dispatch to the Times
a Y that only 5000 prisoners are in
the hands of the Servians as the re-
suit of the fall of Monastir. The
scattered remnants of the great Turk
ish army are being vigorously pur-
sued, and it is reported that a large
body had been captured, for a sharp
cannonade has been heard in their
direction.
The Vienna correspondent Of the
Times understands that the Triple
Alliance will suggest to the other
European powers that Europe as a
whole should examine the terms of
the peace treaty before its oonclu-
sion. The object of this procedure
is to avoid calling a European con-
ference.
Ashmead Bartlett. in a dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph, says that after
spending three days on the Turkish
lines he falls to understand why he
Bulgarians abandoned on Tuesday
night all the advanced positions they
captured at 1 o'clock Monday morn
ing, and adds:
1.-The move completely surprised the
Turkish army, which, under the ex-
p~ectancy of a decisive assault, had
made arrangements for a general
retirement, should the necessity
arise"
The Constantinople correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph explains that
the Moslem aaw provides that no
part of the Khalif's possessions shall
be abandoned except in of ir-
resistfble compulsion. Hence the
councils rejection of the Bulgarian
terms was based on this law and
was suggested by the successful re-
sistance the Turks have made at
Tchatalja.
Another factor that influenced the
decision was the report of the medi-
cal staff hat the cases of cholera
among the troops had diminished 40
per cent.
Diplomatic circles, says the cor
respondent, believe that the struggle
will be prolonged unless the allies
land troops in the Gulf of Sares,
which is considered not improbable.

Want an Agent
at Their Depot

A delegation of citizens from North
Berkeley Heights, on a branch of the
Lackawanna railroad, appeared be-
fore the Board of Public Utility Com
missioners in session at the Court
House here today to ask that better
station facilities be provided at their
town.
During the summer, they said. a
station agent is on duty, but in the
winter the station is closed most of
the time and passengers have no
protection from the snow and cold.
Baggage, too, the delegation declared,
is left on the station platform I'M
protected during the winter.

majority for Woodrow Wilson in Cal
ifornia of about $50 votes and nearly
all, if not all of the electors sent by
the State to the electoral college.
The decision was against the meth
cd of the board of supervisors in IAN
