SALOON MAN IS
GIVEN LESSON
Fined $25 for Running Dance
in Connecting Hall.

Saturday night dances cannot be
run in halls connected with saloons
and beer cannot be sold in any form
after midnight SO long the police and
Board of Excise Commissioners
maintain the vigilance they have
been showing. Simon Godlesky, a
sa~loonkeeper of 678 Catherine street
found this out last night at the ex-
pense of Y-o and probably a license.
On complaints made by Patrolmen
Gutowski and Harding and Chief of
Police Burke he was fined $25 and
Recorder Kehoe said he would rec
ommend to the Board of Excise Com
| missioners that his license to sell
liquor be revoked.
Godlesky was claimed by the po-
lice to be a persistent law breaker.
He openly proclaimed the right to
run a dance hall Saturday night.
The Board of Excise Commissioners
does not permit him to run a dance
hall at any time Saturday nights
in connection with a saloon, but the
police lacked him u pom more Sc
rious charges, those Of keeping the
dance hall open after midnight and
up to nearly 2 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. When Patrolman Gutowski re-
minded him that the law was being
violated, he verbally attacked the "
ficer and declared he had no right
to criticise his actions.
The saloonkeeper reluctantly paid
his fine and left the court room In
a perturbed frame of mind.

BENEFIT FOR
DAY NURSERY
Auto Ride to Dukes Farm
Next Tuesday.

The Ways ard Means Committee,
of the Day Nursery Association, OF
which Mrs. Ambrose P. Kennedy IS
chairman, has completed plans for
an automobile trip to Dukes Farm,
at S%omerville, ON September "a.
The ladies of the Day Nursery are
enthusiastic over the prospects for
a successful outing, as the farm"
is one of the most beautiful places in
New Jersey. 1t goes without saying
that the trip will be the most inter-
esting and fruitful of any of the late
summe excursions now planned by
charitable institutions. Many miles
are covered in travelling over Mr..
Dukes estate.
Many friends of the Day Nursery
have offered the free use of their
automobiles for the occasion, there
fore the Board of Managers expect
to realize a neat profit on the ven
ture. AS a special inducement to
those who never before have been in
a position to view this great estate,
the arrangement committee has de-
cided upon a popular price, an
nounced in the advertising columns
of this newspaper. The price of the
tickets is So low that every friend of
the Day Nursery is in a financial
position 20 enjoy the treat. Owing
to the means of transportation, only
a limited number of tickets will be
placed on sale. The little passports
can be secured from any member of
the Board Of Managers, as well as
Mrs. f. A. Antisell and Mrs. Kenne-
dy.
According to the announcement,
the autos will leave City Hall Park
promptly at 2 o'clock, OF Tuesday
afternoon, as at least four hours are
necessary in which to make the trip
to Somerville and thoroughly review
the grand estate. Mrs. William H.
Bawden, president of the Day Nurs-
cry, Is very enthusiastic over the
contemplated trip. She said: 1--WE
expect to have a successful affair.
You see, the price Of the tickets is
SO low; the park is such a beautiful
place, and the cause is without a
doubt one of the best in the city"

SCHOOL
BOARD FIGHTS
Will Insist Upon the Money
Duo Being Paid.
(Frou, the NEWS Correspondent.)

Trenton, Sept. 17:-While none
of the members of the ADVISORY
Committee of the State Board or
Education will discuss the conference
in New York last Friday on the
question of the boards demand for
the immediate distribution to the
public school districts of the S977,-
900 school money for 1910 being re-
tanned in the State Treasury, enough
has been learned to warrant the
statement that the board proposes
to continue the fight until the schools
of the state receive promptly the
state money belonging to them I'M
der the law. The members OF the
State Board insist that 1t Is an out
rage that the public schools are now
compelled to borrow money on
which the aggregate interest is $lo,-
900 a month simply because a palI
of the railroad taxes are in litigation.
The state treasurer has the money
on deposit In many banks throughout
the state and some of it is drawing
two per cent. interest, but this in
terest goes to the state and not to
the public schools, to whom the mon
ey drawing the interest really be-
longs. Members of the State Board
oil Education as well as representa-
tives of local boards Of education de-
clare that 1t Is a disgrace to the
state that such a condition is per-
mitted to exist.
An opinion is expected from At
torney General Wilson tomorrow, as
the result of the conference last
week. 1t will deal with the question
of the proper legal steps to take to
permit the distribution OF the money
forthwith. The State Comptroller's
Department claims there Is no way
the money can be distributed until
the railroad litigation is settled, be-
cause the rate of distribution cannot
be fixed until 1t is known precisely
what sum there will be to distribute.
State Treasurer Voorhees, cannot pay
out the money until he receives the
Comptroller's warrant for 1t.
There is no prospect of an early
settlement of the railroad fight
against the taxes, as two of the COM
panies have appealed to the Court
OF Errors, and it will be from six
months to a year before an opinion
can be reached there. Without a
doubt the State Board of Education
will take the matter to the next Leg
islature and there Is every prospect
of a lively squabble before the tangle
Is ~unsnarled.

A GREAT PLAY
At THE BIJOU
"By Might of Right" Is
Well Presented.

eBy Right of Might" by Myron
Lefingwell, had its initial perform
ance last night at the BiJou theatre.
Not since the doors of this popular
PLAYHOUSE have opened to standard
drama has a more intensely inter-
esting play been produced there, nor
one calling for a higher type OF ORA
matte skill and execution. 1t is SUI
perabundantly human with so deep
a heart interest and so powerfully
realistic and thoroughly acted by the
Miller Stock Company that many
moistened eyes slgniied the depth OF
feeling awakened by this play among
the audience.
The east Is most admirably taken
with Director Miller himself occupy
ing the leading role Of the poor in
ventor struggling against poverty
persisting through opposition, agon-
lied by the apparent loss OF a daugh-
ter through the scheming OF a
wealthy employer, until reason IS
almost %dethroned, is a character de-
lineation seldom excelled, he Is ably
supported by the entire company.
Miss Halter and Miss Shannon i'm
personate the inventors two daugh-
ters. The former as Elsie" a beau
tiful study Of parental devotion,
and the latter as Lucy" imperious
in poverty, is pretty and coquettish.
Richard LaSalle as the heartless
wealthy factory owner, exemplified
this too prevalent character In real
life masterfully.
Mr.. Smith, as the son Of the capt.
talist, who does not believe in his
fathers doctrine of "By Right of
Might" defying his father and de-
Tending his conscience, Is clever and
natural. The mill superintendent,
who differs with his employer but al
ways has an axe of his W to grind,
is taken by Mr.. Waters in his mi
mitable manne "Raynor Shine
a rolling stone with a nimble six
pence, in love with the %inyentor'e
daughter Lucy, by Mr.. Conroy, is a
clean cut and perfect bit of charac-
ter work. The wife of the owner OF
the works, who differs with her hare
hearted husband, exhibiting a sweet
disposition and motherly affection
was beautifully portrayed by Miss
Harcourt.
The stage setting of this play is
excellent and the actual exhibition
of the inventors triumph Is a piece
Of electrical realism never attempt
ed in this theatre. This truly greai
play continues all week with matt
nees Wednesday and Saturday.
