So THEY PUT ONE
OVER ON 0'T0OLE

Retribution came to n ~well-known New.
arker last night at the hands of this city's
representatives, whom he had been hand
ling with and without gloves for the past
twenty-four years. The victim is Peter
j. o'roole, municipal reporter for the
Newark Evening News, who will become
city editor of that paper next Monday.
For the last time, perhaps, Pete was
covering Il meeting of the Common Coun-
ell. He had not intended to be there. but
his associates were aware of the city au.
thorities' plans to get back at him. SO a
ruse put Pete in his old place at the re.
cording table. He was busy making
notes, such as Archie introduced a reso-
luton alderman Alexander Archibald
Is the way 1t would appear in Pete's
story when something happened.
The very man he had been making
notes about, Alderman Archibald, stopped
the official proceedings and made a
brief announcement of the fact that the
time had come to get bock at the news.
paper reporter who had been making
things so pleasant, also unpleasant, for
city officials during twenty-odd years.
The majority of those present owere In
on" the deal and all looked very solemn
as MIR. Archibald concluded his remarks
by saying:
~ have been delegated TO perform A
very pleasant task tonight. There is a
man among ms who will shortly depart
from active service In our midst, at which
we are all deeply grieyed. For twenty
four years he has labored here, closely
connected with the city government. Oc-
casionally in the pursuance of his duty
he has had unpleasant things to say
about some of us, but his criticisms have
always been just and fair.
And SO on behalf of his friends in the
City Hall ! present this token OF esteem
to Peter ]. O'Toole."
Mr.. Archibald then produced a hand
some gold watch and chain and pre.
scented it to Mr.. o'Toole. The lef-
ter happy-go-luck individual had been
trying hard TO be a true reporter
and look unc0ncerned. Al this he was +.
miserable failure. The members Of tb,.
council, reporters and spectators rose To
their feet and gave Pete a wonderfnl
and loud reception as he stood IN 10
speak.

USED As TOOL
BY WILSON"

JERSEY CITY, May 4.-Gonsiderable
comment Is being made by Democrats
here over the attitude, of Mark A. Sui
liyan, who has, his friends say. brought
about his own political downfall. They
point ont that when Sullivan was a can
dldate for the Mayoralty nomination he
had been promised the support of Gov
ernor Wilson. One of the Democrats said
yesterday:
Governor Wilson and Secretary Tu-
multy, neither OF whom liked Mayor Witt
penn, got Sullivan to announce his cam
didacy. When he finally concluded to
make the fight he resigned from the
bench of the Court of Errors and APP
peals. Naturally Sullivan expected that
he would have the open support of Coy
ernor Wilson and Secretary Tumulty, but
when the campaign started Wilson dis
covered that to take sides might hurt
his Presidential aspirations. Neither the
Governor nor Secretary Tumulty took any
part In the campaign, though they want
ed to see sullivan defeat Wittpenn. What
ever they did along these lines was I'M
der cover. Tumulty, though n close
friend of Sullivan, did not visit the Sui
Ivan headquarters. He did not want to
be seen there, Sullivan was defeated and
the chler mournerS at his political fu-
neral were Governor Wilson and Secre-
tary Tumulty. They would have liked
that he were nominated, but they did
not have the courage Of their conyic-
tions.
Now we find Sullivan sacrificing him.
self and his personal friends and follow
ers TO help Joe Tumulty save his political
bacon. If Sullivan had not consented TO
run Tumulty would have had to make
the race. He would have gone down TO
defeat. He knew this and that is why he
prevailed upon Sullivan to become a can
didate and to solicit the support of Ma yor
Wittpenn. Sullivan will not only lose
the support of the Democrats who were
with him in the Mayoralty fight. but
many Of the followers of Mayor witt
penn who know that ne is being used as
a tool by Tumulty and who have not
very much regard for either Governor
Wilson or bis secretary, will cast their
ballots against him.

BOARD. /. IN,
ASK MORE NONE

SO much time was consumed last night
in going over the budget OF the Board
of Education, and in considering the
estimated cost of school supplies for next
year that the committee was unabls
to complete the work. An adjournment
was taken to May 0.
Much pruning was done. as 1t was seen
that the total amount would be likely
Ia run far above that OF previous
While the actual figures cannot be OBJ
talned until the board finishes It's
and is ready TO make its recommends
ton to the Board of school Estimate,
II Is expected the Increase in the cost
of running the public schools for the
year beginning July ! will approach $780,.
900 over the amount required lor the
present year.
The estimates us approved by the board
last night are; Janitors' salaries, $l4S,-
1853; furniture and supplies, $li4,506; re-
pairs, ss7, S22; heating apparatus, Sls.4z4;
fuel, S55, 500; light aud power, $25, 600.
water, s.. 500; rents, 81, $50; text books,
etc. SIPS, 40S.50; manual training supplies.
$9,732.
1t is not known yet what amount the
local board can count upon receiving
through the state school Appropriation,
but IL Is practically certain there will be
a substantial increase from both the
state school Xxx and from the distribu-
ton of the lax on railroad properties.
Items of construction will not enter
largely into the new budget, but the new
schools, the erection of which were pro
vided for in the 1911 budget, must ns
equipped and salaries of employees ns-
ured In the estimates.
Trimming was done to a considerable
extent in the furniture and general sup
niles stImate which, IL was considered,
would admit of closer figuring than items
Of text books, heating and repairs.
There was pretty general opposition to
reducing the expenditure for cooking
ella sses, the members agreeing that though
the average cost per pupil was A.9i a.
year for 1900 pupils, 1t was money well
spent. This item alone amounted to
$1,000, was to cover cost of groceries used
in the classes and teachers salaries.

That letter must have been as

she had made a mistake; knew
she did not love Fred Noble;

Did it make him forget to tell

Is Walter Suydam today re-

he did not do, for the kindnesses

Before her death, Mrs. Suydam
knew she had made a mistake,
that she had given up her honor
for a man she did not love, and
left behind the man she did love,
and whom it was her right to
love. But did she know why she
had done it?
Hardly. If she had known that
she would not have chosen that
lonely, loveless death.
But she saw no way out, save
only death. And so she planned
the death, and telephoned to the
janitor of the fiat to remove the
little puppies, and returned there
in the lonely night to meet the
man for whom she had given up
all things, and whom she did not
love, and go from his arms to face
