BOY WHO REFUSED
TO SALUTE FLAG
BACK AT SCHOOL
Canadian Youth Ig-
nores Other Pupils
at Exercises.

Young Leoforic Temple, the Cana
dian boy who refused to swear al
Iegiance TO the Stars, and Stripes.
went to the Cedar Grove school-house
today for the first time since he was
suspended by the Board Of Education
a month ago.
The Temple boy was reinstated by
direction of DR.. J. Brognard Belts. as
sistant State superintendent of
schools. who, after a hearing at the
Essex county Court House last Fri
day, decided that 1t wasn't necessary
for foreign pupils to take the pledge
of allegiance to the national banner at
the school exercises.
The morning exercises today went
on without a hitch, the Temple boy
sitting behind the piano in the assem-
bly, hall. refusing to join even in the
recital Of the Lords Prayer with his
fellow pupils. Members of the Cedar
Grove school board, however, fear
that this state of things cannot last;
that either the Temple boy or the
other scholars viii soon be driven to
making demonstration of some sort,
and that school dispicline win be lost
in the confusion.
Young Temple went to school unac-
companied and walked TO his class
room. He bore his head proudly in the
air and looked neither to the right nor
to the left One or two of his class
mates who attempted to extend to
him a bashful greeting shrugged their
shoulders at the Canadian boys lack
Of interest in them and after that
left him severely alone. Temple was
the last boy in the line Of High School
pupils who filed into the assembly
hall with the boys and girls Of the
eighth grammar grade. He IS head
and shoulders over any other boy in
the school. and the eyes of all his fell
low pupils were leveled at him as he
walked into the hall.
Keeps His Nerve.
The boy kept his nerve under the
searching gaze of his schoolmates. let
them pass into their seats, and con-
tinued down the aisle until he came to
the piano. Then he calmly found q
chair for himself and sat down.
The exercises opened with a sing
ing of Filing Out the Banner" by the
pupils in chorus. A. Seeley Hutchin-
son, principal of the school, assured a
reporter for the Evening Star that
there was no special significance in

RIOT AS PROMOTERS OF
FAKE r. r. COLLISION
DISAPPEAR WITH CASH
Mogu" Engines Only Wornout Narrow-Cauge Traction Lo
comotves-At First Refuse to Move Finally Touch al
Two-Mile-a-Week Gait.

Somewhere someone is ordering
another bottle of wine and tossing
yellowbacks to cabaret singers.
On the table before him is a canvas
back duck and under the chair be-
meath him is a carpet-bag. In the
bag is perfectly good coin of the
United States to the value of $500,
which some 5000 persons gave up yes
terday in their eagerness to see two
great mogul engines crash, head
on, in the most terrifying catas-
trophe ever produced on natures
stage" At least that's what the
press agent called it; but those who
waited until the afternoon had waned
and the dusk of the evening had
fallen called 1t something quite diff
ferent, and what they said was not
polite enough for drawing-room
conversation or for a respectable
home paper to print.
Finally, at o'clock in the evening.
when all but few hundred had left
in disgust, the two engines did ac-
tually meet and one of them slipped
off the track. Beyond that there was
no damage and post-mortem exam
ination today showed that one of
them was a chronic paralytic and the
other had the blind staggers.
No Permit for Powder.
But the spectators who were stung
are not content to sit back and take
it calmly. A thorough investigation
by the county authorities has been
demanded and this investigation will
probably grow out of the statement
of a witness who saw on the grounds
a canister of gunpowder, which he
declares was to have been used to
make the collision" realistic. No per-
NIT to use this powder was obtained
and any application for a permit
would have been refused on the
ground that the explosion would have
endangered the lives of the specta-
tors.

Mayor Jacob Hau-sling today criti-
cised William ]. McKiernan, super
visor of the city's Fairgrounds for
posting a notice that the Lafayette
street and Oliver street Fairgrounds
would be closed after the fifteenth of
this month.
The mayor, after commenting on
Mr.. McKiernan's attitude at a con-
ference with the Playground Com
mission in the mayors Office this aft
ernoon, said: I'VE don't want the
Fairgrounds shut down. but want
them to go on Then, turning to Mr..
McKlernan, he asked:
who posted the notice that they
would close DOWN."
Il did," answered Mr.. McKiernan.
"Who told you to do it?''
Il assumed the responsibility" re-
piled the supervisor.
well. that's going some respond
ed the mayor. What is the commits
sion for?"
Neither President Louis V. Aron-
son, Commissioner George w. Jagle
nor Mr. McKiernan was able to ex-
plain just what amount was needed
to continue the work for the balance
of the year. At first the former fig
ured about s3,400, Mr.. McKiernan
about $500, Mr.. Jagle said 1920 and
later $1,000 when handed slip of
paper by Commissioner Joseph c.
Froelich.
Hasn't this same condition come
up before?" asked the mayor. Mr..
McKiernan answered in the affirma-
tive and the mayor said; 1T seems
strange that this should come out
right after election"
well, we don't want anyone to
think it is politics. remarked Com
missioner Aronson and Mr.. McKier-
nan in chorus.
81 tried to keep politics out of the
playground Mr. McKiernan went on.
City Counsel James r. Nugent sat
in the confer ence. and remained in
silence while Mayor Haussling and
Wilson J. Vance. the mayors sec
retary, questioned the commission.
They argued that it was usless to
talk when no figures or facts were
on hand.
Mr.. Nusent finally proposed that
the commissions books be audited
and that the finance committee would
see that it would not be necessary
to close the Fairgrounds. The COM
mittee viii again take up the ques-
tion on November 20.
Addressing Mr. Aronson. Mr.. Nu-
gent asked: "Who contracted these
bills?"
TT WE done in the usual way"
you knew at the time that you
had no funds available?" continued
Mr.. Nugent.
well, we were figuring on prom
ises"
Yes, but you had $5,400 to your
credit, and want $1,000 more"
The question was further discussed.
and the plan of Mr.. Nugent prevailed.
During the conference Mr.. McKier-
nan addressed several personal re-
marks to Alderman Archibald and
was called to order.
Mayor Haussling also advised Com
missioner Aronson that the city
would pay all bills.

Carl Miller. AZ years old, who resided
in Bloomfield avenue, was blown to
his death by the explosion of a gas
tank.
Miller's body was thrown several
feet in the air and landed on the
sidewalk, killing him instantly. The
remains were removed to Holes s
morgue and County Physician Nc
Kenzie ordered the police to make an
investigation.
1t is believed by the police that the
tank was out of order and that the
explosion might have resulted in the
death of many. The terrific report
was heard for blocks around and the
concussion broke window glasses in
the immediate vicinity.

Yetta Saben. 33 years old. of 113 Wa

Eighteenth and Belmont avenues. The
woman was greaning as though in

Questioned by the officer she said
she had tripped in alighting from a
Kinney street car and had fallen
heavily. The conductor of the car
pulled his bell and hurried away. she
said, as soon as he saw her fall.

finding that the engines could not get

For several hours the crowd sat
back and laughed and took the fiasco
good-naturedly. But the final scene,

1t was a Sunday outing, however,
and they decided to make the best Of
it, expecting the promoters would at
least fulfil their contract. No doubt
the contract would have been carried
out If two real engines had been pro-
vided. But the two consumptive dirt
haulers on the track couldn't have
pulled on a corncob pipe.
All afternoon two engineers and
about twenty other employees and
spectators worked desperately on the
engines, trying to get up steam, which
the machines refused to hold. The
engineers worked, pleaded. coaxed and
argued. They used every reasonable
and unreasonable method to start the
things. But it was of no use and
finally the crowd, appreciating the
joke, started to push the "locomo-

checked the early decline, with prices ad-
