KEEPS GIRL FROM SCHOOL

Mrs. Ruby Neidig, who lives at Is
Rowe street. East Orange, but who
says she has no use for New Jersey,
was called to the East Orange Police
Court to-day to explain why she did
not send her daughter Ethel, . years
old, to the Columbian School. She
said she would not allow her daugh-
ter to use paint brushes in school.
She did not explain why.
Mrs. Neidig, who is said to be iden-
titled with theatricals. appeared in
court with her daughter, and in re.
ply to the questions of Recorder Mott
said she would not allow her daugh-
ter to paint. His efforts to press her
for a eason were futile. She was
told it would be necessary for the
Board of Education to pass on the
question, and after being told of the
law on compulsory education sought
the offices of the board and may ap-
pear at its next meeting.

son. who, while expressing from time
to time strong opinions on the moral
deficiencies of the city, has also
spoken in enthusiastic terms of the
opportunities and prospects of the
city.
Most obserSant citizens of Newark
will agree in the double proposition
that few cities have more brilliant
prospects Of growth and a greater
need for u wise and enlightened civic
government" said DR.. Dawson today.
Probably both Mayor Haussling
and Mr.. Aronson would like to agree
on these propositions, but their meth
DDS of attaining the goal differ widely.
The meeting OF Friday offers each
candidate an opportunity for the free
expression of his views.
1.-THE minimum that can be X
of any candidate for office is that HI
shall be positively and firmly opor
the side of public decencyS and o.
honest administration. 1t will be in
teresting to know what Mr.. Hausslint
has to say on the recent revelation
of unrestrained vice in the city ant
what program Mr.. Aronson has t.
propose for the amendment n elm

Because First Place is Conceded
to Dartmouth Today
NEW ENGLAND TRACK MEET
In the Preliminaries Yesterday Afternoon
Gutterson of Vermont Broke Broad
Jump Record and Marden of Dart
mouth the Discus Throw.

Springfield, Mass, May ls.-With two
new marks already established by yes
terday's performances and with plenty
OF stars entitled to attempt similar feats
in field of exceptional brilliancy, the
finals in the New England Intercollegiate
Amateur Athletic association track meet
here to-day are expected to be unusually
interesting Dartmouth certainly is
looked upon as the winner of the meet,
and most of the speculation over the
result of the afternoons fourteen events
turned to the struggle for second place.
The first record that went by the
board yesterday afternoon was in the
broad jump, when A. i. Gutterson OF
the university of Vermont cleared %
feet 5 2-5 inches, compared with % feet
2 3-4 inches made by w. 2. Hubbard
of Amherst in 1905.
Late in the day II. Z. Marden of Dart
month flung the discus 1875 feet Is
inches, compared with the old record of
1913 feet l-2 inches made by G. X. Pc
wear also of Dartmouth in 1908.
A summary of the number qualified
yesterday follows: Dartmouth, 2l; Bates,
Brown, NJ. /. r.. and Williams, 8 each !;

WILL OF STRAUS FILED.
Question Whether Merchant or His Wife
Died First on Titanic.

New York, May lS.-The will of Isidor
Straus, the prominent New York mer-
chant who perished with the Titanic,
was filed for probate here yesterday.
The value of the real property is given
at S265 900, but no estimate of the per-
sonal property is made.
To Mrs. Ida Straus, his wife, who also
perished on the Titanic, he bequeathed
his town and country places and an in
come for life on trust fund of 81 ,200,-
600. Trust funds of S500,000 are created
for each of his three daughters, and
the residue of his estate goes to his three
sons. There was no bequest of a public
or charitable nature, the will stating
that letter had been left to Mr. Straus'
sons indicating his wishes in this re-
gard,
While the sons seem likely to receive
the share of the estate left to Mrs.
Straus. lawyers pointed out that an in
teresting point might be made in con-
STRUNG the will, since it provided that
should Mrs. Straus die before her hus-
band the laws OF intestacy should gov
ern the disposition of her legacy. As
in the case of Charles Fair, the Califor-
MIA man who was killed with his wife
in an automobile accident in France, the
question to be determined would he as
to which of the two, Mr. or Mrs. Straus,
died first.

PIG AND SWEETS
ARE DISASTROUS
Means Finish of Vermont, Says W. S
Rossiter-"Much of Food Eaten
There Not Fit for Human
Beings"

Burlington, May ls.-Pig products and
sweets as steady diet will mean the
ultimate disastrous finish of Vermont,
according to startling statement made
by William S. Rossiter, formerly expert
special agent and chief clerk of the
United States census office, in letter
to Clarence 2. Cowles of this city, sent
in response to a query concerning the
Greater Vermont movement now under
consideration.
Such diet, according to Mr.. Rossiter,
can result in nothing but increase in
the number of sickly, weak, anemie
women, incapable OF child bearing. The
states one hope, continues Mr.. Rossiter,
is in re-education. Mr.. Rossiter says:
"On many Vermont farms the food
consumed daily is not fit for human
beings. 1t is utterly unsuited to nour-
ish strong men and women. Pig prod
ucts and sweets as steady diet lead
inevitably to weakness and disease. |
have seen eleven kinds of cake on the
table at once and nothing TO eat In
my locality, Greensboro, in Orleans coun-
ty, the number of sickly, weak women
is surprising, Often they are physically
incapable of child bearing Common
sense suggests that steady diet of
pig and sugar could produce no other
results"
