MAY CREATE JOB
FOR SCHOOL HEAD
RumOred Harrison Board Will
Advance Supervisor and
Principal Tonight.

Provided enough votes can be mus
tered, it is understood that the Har-
rison Board of Education will tonight
AXE action towards making Supervis-
ing Principal James F. Prendergast
superyisor-at-large and naming Mrs.
Lucy M. Beach, principal of School
No. 2, to succeed MIR. Prendergast. IT
was stated today hat the question
will positively come up tonight.
This matter has been hanging fire
for some months. It had it's incipiency
almost directly after Miss katherine
Condor was made principal. 1t Is I'M
derstood that friends of Mrs. Beach
have been working in her behalf.
Some of the members Of the board are
opposed to making any change.
1t is pointed out that the shift will
mean an extra expense, and members
of the board declare there is no good
reason for making a change. The
town has but three schools and board
members declare Mr.. Prendergast can
easily hold the dual Office of principal
>of No. 2 and supervisor of the other
schools. 1t is possible that at the last
minute 1t will be decided to allow the
matter to remain dormant until after
the school election, which occurs next
Tuesday.

RED FLAG IN
CHINA NOW
SEEMS SURE
Condition Approaching Anarchy
Appears in Nearly All
Provinces.

HONG KONG, March ia condi-
lion approaching anarchy appears to
prevail almost everywhere in the Chi
nese province of Kwangtung. At Swa-
tow the soldiers of the garrison op-
posed the landing of 1000 Hakkas, or
marauding tiibesmen, and several
fierce encounters have taken place be-
tween them. A battle was fought on
Saturday at Chowyang, a short dis
tance to the south of Swallow, during
which forty men were killed and sixty
wounded. General WI Sun, one of the
commanders of the troops at Canton,
is leaving for Swallow with 1000 men
to suppress the disturbances.
The United States monitor Monterey
is at Canton. The British consul at
that city last night ordered the cap
tains of British vessels lying off the
city to put out their lights should they
hear firing from the forts. They did
this and the British gunboat Moorhen
had her awning and spar torn by bull
let's while she was engaged in protect
ing the electric station.
Five of the leaders of the disorderly
element, who were formerly well-known
pirates, have combined together to de-
fy the authorities to disarm their fol-
lowers. It Is said that one of these
chiefs alone has 10, 900 adherents.

Robert l.. Johnstone, of Glen Ridge,
has brought suit In the Supreme Court
for $57S. 600 against Charles r. Flint &
Co, of New York, alleging that that
amount is due hip for services per-
formed in the amalgamation of "a
six largest chewing gum manufae-
turers. The sum is said to represent
half the profits of the formation of
the ~so-called chewing gum trust. for
which the Flint company is said to be
merely another title.
Mr.. tombstone is said to have
quite a fortune In the trade
of the Yucatan gum, which he origi-
mated. He is one of the best known
citizens of Glen Ridge.
Charles r. Flint z Co. have been
credited for years with having bottled
up the raw rubber business. Gum
chicle Is an inferior quality Of rubber.
The Flint concern naturally expected
that when tombstone opened up the
Yucatan business its share in the busi-
ness would continue. An idea of get
ting several firms in such a combina-
ton was conceived and Mr.. tombstone
asserts that he did the work and con-
tributed his knowledge of the gum
chicle trade in Yucatan.
The Flint concern has made a gen.
eral denial of the allegations.
