democrats in regard to their choice of

thing else.

WORD CRAFT WAS
misunderstood
Figures in Trial of Miss
Helen White, of East
Orange.

Mention of the word graft at a
hearing in the Orange police court this
morning enlivened the trial Of Miss
Helen White, of Ivanhoe terrace, East
Orange, for speeding her automobile in
Main street at Day street, Orange, yes
terday afternoon while Sergeant
Thomas Ryan. Chief John Drabell and
q woman member of Miss Whites
family discussed a telephone call to
headquarters over the arrest yester-
day.
Chief Drabell called attention to d
report made to him by Sergeant Ryan
that the latter was quizzed by some
n from the White household as to
his reasons for inquiring IL the young
miss had any money with her when
she was taken before the desk by Po-
lioeman McDermott. The woman &C
companying Miss White said she had
asked as q matter Of information. why
mention of money was madeT She dis
avowed any ~discourtesy or ~insinuation.
why" she said In surprise when the
topic was preached, II nave never had
any experience with policemen, ex-
ceptfng that In East Orange we con
tribute literally to their fund"
Sergeant Ryan insisted his impress
sion from the tone of voice on the tele-
phone that graft, vas at least insinu-
ated. and with the polite but firm dis
avowal of any such a thought by the
woman who had spoken on the wire,
the incident was closed by imposition
of a fine of $40 and IS cents costs, which
was paid.
Chief Drabell. in discussing the case,
told the defendant that the city of Or
ange will be put to the expense Of a
policeman to cost LOO a year for
traffic regulation at the city's -Four
Corners" and he stated the police
wanted to be always courteous, but
must control traffic, chiefly for the
benefit of automobiles.

G TOO HIGH, so HE
OBJECTS TO CHILDREN IN
SCHOOLS MAKING CANDY.

The request of the manual training
department of the Montclair public
schools for an additional s475 brought
forth considerable discussion by men,
bers of the Board of Education of that
town last night. 1t was brought out
that a considerable portion of h APP
preparation of SIS, 900 for manual train
ing was still unexpended. and that the
additional sum was asked for in fear
that the appropriation might not last
out to the end of the school year. Com
missioner Benjamin Sims, chairman of
the committee on manual training, OPP
posed the additional appropriation and
recommended that some of the frills be
left out so that the appropriation would
be sufficient. He declared that he was
opposed to the pupils making candy
while sugar was so high in price and
eggs Ga cents per dozen, which he
understood was the price paid for them
by the department. The matter was
left in the hands of the committee.
The building and grounds commit
tee was authorized to secure Black
& Goldschmidt, architects, to prepare
plans for a new school building to be
erected on Grove street at a cost of
about $4,000.

WOMEN'S BALLOTS
WIN sCHO0LH0UsE
Proposition for S65,00O Build
ing at Hilton Carried by
Big Majority.

Had not a single man resident of
South Orange township cast a ballot
at the special election held in South
Orange yesterday for the purpose of
deciding whether the Hilton section
should be given a new 5000 school,
the proposition would have been car
rfed. The women residents of Hilton
alone recorded twice as many votes
all in favor-as village residents, both
men and women, voted altogether.
Se~venty-eight women voted, while a
grand total Of but thirty-six ballots
were voted against the proposition.
Two hundred and thirty -eight people
voted and of that number but thirty
six opposed the granting Of the appro-
priation.
The opposition formed among village
residents of which Kraus Nor was the
leader failed utterly. Not more than
two dozen of the village people turned
out and Mr.. Nor himself was not even
on hand.
Two s~uffragettes, Mrs. Sarah Birney
and Mrs. William B. Newman, of the
village. both OF whom declared them
selves as being against the proposition.
appeared at the polls two minutes after
9 o'clock, the closing time. Their pro-
tests that they should be allowed to
vote were unheeded by the election
officers, who a declared the polls
closed.
Charles G. Fielding, president of the
Board of Education, presided; James
Matte was inspector of the election
and Lionce L. Picot and John Munther
clerks.

SORE At DEFEAT,
REFUSE To RUN
Retiring School Trustees Con-
slider Themselves as 'Un-
desirable Officials"

Placing themselves in the class of
undesirable officials" the three re-
firing members of the West Orange
to be candidates for reelection at the
annual school election on March Is.
They take this stand because during
the year four propositions aid before
the voters were as promptly turned
down.
Commissioner Freeman, of the First
ward; Commissioner Beach, of the
Third ward, and Commissioner Hird.
of the Fifth ward. are the men who
will sever their connections with the
School Board, and in leaving they ex-
press the feeling that 1t is not with
regret, because of the feeling shown
toward the board by the citizens at
each of the special elections.
Mr.. Freeman said last night It
seemed the people had no use for the
present board and did not hesitate to
show their feelings at the elections.
They had been elected members, he
said, in speaking of the retiring MEM
bers. for the purpose Of using their
best judgment in deciding school
matters, bur the voters would not
allow their opinions to be carried out.
Commissioner Hird reechoed the SEN
timents of his colleague.
A committee Of fifteen weu-knoHn
citizens from every ward of the town
have been working of late preparing a
list of candidates to be presented TO
the voters at the town meeting and
are hoping for an almost unanimous
expression on the list. One name has
been brought forward as a candidate
SO far, John Woefele, of the Fifth
ward.
Some important matters are to come
before the new board, one Of which
will be the st. Marks School question.
Three times the voters have been
asked to favor a project of con-
structing a building to take it's place.
but have voted it down. Now 1t Is
thought the front will have to be torn
down, and unless the State Boards
ruling that repairs must be made to
several of the schools Is carried out,
the board feels some of the State
money may be withheld and then the
voters will have to make up the de-
ficiency.
