specso, to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Feb. 17:-Asserting that
self-styled school experts are doing
more to hamper the public schools
In this state than all the points of
alleged inefficiency, and that II for
mer Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuy-
sen were an educator or knew the
first principle of approved pedago-
GIGS, he would not SO fiagrantly con-
fuse testing a school for efficiency
and testing children for promotion,
Assem- blyman John &. Gill, of this
city. issued red hot reply today to
former Senator Frelinghuysen's de-
Tense of new state school law
which was given publicity on Thurs
day. Assemblyman Gill, who is
chairman of the Committee on Edu-
cation of the Assembly, referred to
some parts of Mr.. Frelinghuysen s
statement as gratuitous insult to
"the many faithful men and women
who have given their lives to edu-
eating children"
Emphasizes Only Two Points.
Mr.. Gill declared that Mr.. Fre-
linghuysen who is a member OF the
State Board of Education, empha-
sized but two points In his "anti-
school screed," the utter worthless
ness of the majority of New Jersey s
teachers, and the other that the uni
form examination plan embodied In
the school laws of last year should
be given a trial. This new exam
ination plan which casts aside en-

motion to the high school and max
ing such promotion depend entirely
upon an examination prepared by
the State School Commissioner is
the chief bone of contention In the
present school controversy.
Submitted No Argument.
Mr.. Gill said that Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sen submitted no arguments to show
that such a trial of the examination
plan was justified Some of the
other assertions made by Mr.. Gill
were: that the new law is crude and
inconsistent; that it is Inadequate,
one particular of it's inadequacy be-
ing that 1t makes no provision for
the examination Of the test papers;
that Mr.. Freling ghuysens although ne

tiqtsated and barbarous manner IN
which he proposes to improve the
schools; that the new law is an OUT
rage because it works injustice upon
the children, and that many promin-
ent educators outside of New Jer-
sey. and practically all those in the
state are against the new system of
examination.
Assembly Gill declared that
Governor Wilson does not approve
of system of promotion which dis
regards the terms work.

WAY TO FIRE
Lincoln Steamer Horse Falls
mo Blaze Last Night.

Responding to an alarm of fire
this morning team OF Lincoln En-
gine Company No. / became uncon-
ltrollable while swerying eastward
into Smith street from State. One
horse fell, slid about a dozen feet
on the wet pavement and narrowly
escaped being crushed by the en-
gine. Just prior to that the Protec-
ton Hook & Ladder Company and
Lincoln hose apparatus became
stalled at the same spot through the
act OF Public Service motorman In
Ineglecting to adhere, to the rule to
keep the car stopped while the alarm
was sounding. AS a result the Pro-
lection Hook & Ladder truck be-
came pinned between the car and a
grocery and meat wagon and the
Lincoln hose wagon was held UP be-
hind the trolley car. Several sec
londs were lost until the motorman
stopped the car.

The fire was In the home of Nor
iris Bushfng, huckster on the sec
|ond floor OF and old brick building
lat Smith street, at the corner OF

CHOkES MAN IN
POLICE STATION
Alleged Assailant Of Child
Attacked by Frantic Father
During Court Hour.
LOCKED UP FOR SAFETY
New Evidence Will be Pre-
sented to Grand Jury
Against Frank Gyo.

But for the timely interference of
police officials a tragedy might haze
occurred in the court room OF po-
lice headquarters at o'clock this
morning, when Antonio Satchlaro
and Frank Gyo, whom the former
accused of mistreating his four
year old daughter, came face to face.
The meeting was unexpected on both
sides and as Satchlaro saw Gyo sit
tfag on a court bench he made q
flying tackle and grabbed him by
the throat at the same time
eenouncing him in Italian. Chief
OF Police Burke and Detective Ser
geant Long separated the men and
Gyo was taken to q cell for safe
keeping. About the same time It
developed that there was more evil
dence against Gyo and he was re-
arrested to again answer to charge
of attacking Mary Satchlaro, four
years old.
The father of the child cried and
pleaded for justice. At times he
rayed and tore his handkerchief
with his hands and teeth. Some
times he would be overcome with fits
of anger and shaking his fist at the
jail door he would denounce Gyo
with all the power ofspeech he pos
sesscd. The scene was dramatic. 1t
concluded with Satchlaro vowing
vengeance upon Gyo II the law did
not sufficiently punish him.
Gyo, who says he Ia twenty-four
years old and had boarded with the
Satchlaro family at 430 Broadhead
place, had been trusted by the
Satchlaro family as he had lived
with them for several months, On
January "a he was arrested by
Mounted Patrolman Hartmann on a
charge of mistreating the four year
old girl. He was arrested In the
nick of time, for Mrs. Satchlaro, the
ehi1d's mother, was attemp Ing to
carve him with q large butcher
knife. He was held to await the
action of the grand jury and was
discharged yesterday when no In
dictment was found against him.
This angered Satchlaro and as a re-
suit he pleaded with the police to
have him retired. The county prose-
cutor has been persuaded to reopen
the case on the ground that new evil
dence is at hand.
satchlaro told the police he wan
dered about tine city ana vicinity last
night in a vain search for Gyo. He
aid he was IN South Amboy at 4
sclock this morning hoping TO fnd
the man. The police are certain
that had the men met during the
night Gyo would have been attacked
and might have been killed.
