'AD0O PLAN IS
ACCEPTED HERE
Local Bank Consents to Ao-
cept Campaign contribu-
lions for Parties.

The Broad and Market National
Bank. of this city. has agreed to act
as a depository in receiving campaign
funds from the various political
parties. This was announced today
by David King. vioe-president of the
bank.
This action was prompted by a let
ter from William 6. McAdoo, vice.
chairman of the National Democnstic
Committee. Mr.. McAdoo declared that
in his opinion the plan of having the
banks of the country handle cam
paign contributions would meet with
popular support. Several of the New
York banks turned down the propo-
sition.
In explaining the position of the
local banks Mr.. King stated that a
bank is a semi-public institution and
should hold itself in readiness to do
anything to further the interests of
the people at large. The proposition
was accepted with the proviso thht
the bank should be at liberty to dis
close the names of the contributors,
with the amounts contributed, upon
request. This proviso was a~ssented
to by Mr. McAdoo, who averred that
this conceded with his views on the
matter.

ILLEGAL, He SAYS
Decision Bowls Out Four
Members of Hoboken
Education Board.
Iron a stasr Correspondent


TRENTON, Aug. 81. Brognard
Belts. assistant State commissioner OF
education, handed down an opinion
today that the appointment by the
Mayor Of Hoboken on June IA last
of four members of the Hoboken
Board of Education was Illegal, and
that until the our vacancies are
filed according to law the Board OF
Education has but four members
and is without a quorum to transact
business.
The decision is made on the applica-
ton Of Wilson Taylor to review the
action of the Hoboken Mayor in MAX
ing the appointments and Of certain
persons assuming to act as members
of the Board of Education.
An attempt was made June II last
to elect George w. Lankering presi-
dent of the school board, he receiving
four votes, Taylor receiving three
votes and John S. Sheridan receiv-
ing one vote. Mr.. L~ankering was de-
clared elected. Assistant Commission
er Belts decided that a majority
vote is necessary to elect an officer
of a school board, that a plurality
vote is o SUFFICIENT, and therefore
Lankering was not legally elected.
Deciding another point raised in the
controversy, Mr.. Belts sets aside as
illegal a resolution of the board pro-
viding that the president appoint 9
committee of three to whom shall be
referred certain bids, said COMMITTEES
to report thereon at the next regular
meeting, and until otherwise ordered
shall transact all other business of
the board.
Mr.. Belts rules that the powers of
the Board of Education cannot be
delegated to a committee in this
manner.
