FIRE IN PUBLIC SCHOOL
DOES $500 DAMAGE

Fire in a cellar storeroom in the
South Street Public School early to-
day caused $500 damage before it was
extinguished. The origin. of the blaze
is laid to defective wiring.
Sergeant O'Neill discovered smoke
coming from the cellar window and
turned in an alarm. The janitor of
the school, Edward Herman, lives at
200 Thomas street, directly in the rear
of the building, and when the firemen
arrived he assisted them in combining
the flames to the room where they
started.
The school building is occupied dur
ing the day time by the summer
school, and was in use as usual today,
no inconvenience being caused by the
fire.
Although the wiring is blamed for
the blaze it is probable that had it
been in any other part of the building
than the cellar, where access was al
most impossible. an investigation
would have been made. For six weeks
past the fire-fighters have been called
to no less that six fires, of mysterious
origin, in the South street section,
and 1t is believed that a firebug has
had a hand in some of them. The
incendiary theory was eliminated in
todays fire because it Is next to I'M
possible to get into the storeroom.

Mother of mystery Baby"
Before Police; Not Held

No complaint was made against the
mother of the 3h-year old child that
died in the Babies Hospital a week
ago last Monday. Mrs Samuel
Rosenberg of III Broome street, who
left the child at the hospital at that
time, appeared at the Fourth Pre-
cinct Court today in company with
the mother of the child. Captain Os-
car Vogel, of the Fourth precinct,
communicated with the prosecutor to-
day. but according to Captain vogel
the prosecutor said that as there
were no grounds on which a COM
plant could he made both women
should be released. In view of this
fact the police refuse to divulge the
name of the mother of the child.
The child was left with Mrs. Rosen-
berg about three months ago. A
week ago last Monday afternoon the
tot was taken suddenly i'll. Mrs.
Rosenberg took the infant to the
Babies Hospital, where it died that
night. Mrs. Rosenberg had given the
name of Mrs. Samuel Goldstein, of is
Boyd street When the police went
tc that address they could not find
her. She was later located by Plain
clothesman Cort and placed under ar
rest. After being questioned she gave
the name of the mother and produced
her in court.

BAUER CASE LEFT
FOR GRAND Jury
Prosecutor May Take No Fur.
Their Action Against Boy
Held as Slayer.

Until the grand jury convenes next
September it is not likely that the
prosecutor will take any further ac-
ton in the case of 1S-year-old Oscar
Bauer, of ISL Camden street who is
charged with the murder of James
J. Halligan, of 262 Central avenue.
1t is claimed by Bauer that if City
Hospital authorities are allowed to
testify before the grand jury, that
tribunal will be satisfied that bron-
chial pneumonia and not septic pneu-
monia caused the death of Halligan.
Halligan, who was 81 years old, was
shot in the abdomen on April % last
during a row over a cigarette. Bauer
was charged with the shooting and
from the information secured by the
county authorities 1t was believed
that Halligan had so far improved
that the grand jury would be asked
to indict Bauer on charge of afro
cious assault, with intent to kill.
Halligan's sudden relapse and subse-
quent death changed the charge to
one of murder.
1t is believed that the prosecutor
will insist that Bauer be indicted on
charge of murder on the strength
of County Physician McKenzie's
statement that Halligan died of sep
tic pneumonia. The nature of the
complaint against the young pris-
oner, who pleaded not guilty yester-
day in the Second Precinct Court, will
depend largely on the charge to the
siding Judge.

EDUCATION BOARD REFUSES
TO RATIFY SPECIFICATIONS

Two committees of the Board of
Education yesterday refused to rati-
fly two sets of specifications for fear
of limiting competition and prevent
the saving of money. Both commit
tees, the buildings and grounds and
the instruction and educational sup
plies. decided to hold the matter in
allegiance.
In the case of the instruction COM
mittee it was decided to readvertise
the bids on copybooks, amounting to
$12, 600, as then the committee chang
ing the wording of the specifications
might save $780, In thu case of the
building committee the question con-
cerned the air washer plant in the
new South Side High School.
In both cases the product of a GER
tain firm, instead of a type or grade
of goods, had been specified, causing
the tangle. On the air plant the con-
tractor wanted to substitute plant
which would be less expensive than
the product named, but Engineer
George W. Knight claimed that 1t did
not come up to requirements. A SINH
lar situation was caused by the speci-
fication of the instruction committee,
which finally decided to ask for new
bids.

COLBY R|D|CULES
RUMOR OF ILLNESS
Gubernatorial Aspirant Home
from Auto Trip TO Open
Campaign Saturday.

Former Senator Everett Colby,
Progressive candidate for the guber-
Material nomination. was at his Office
in the Essex building today after
six-day motor trip to Boston.
whats this / hear about my be-
ing so sick that l can't go out cam
paigning?p he laughed, referring TO
story that came out last Sunday to
the effect that his real reason for
declining Edmund b. Osborne's chal-
lenge to joint debates all over the
State was his poor health
"Never felt better in my life DO
l look sick?" he asked.
He doesn't. The tan from his re-
cent outing in the Canadian woods
was bronzed by the trip to Boston
and he seemed fit for the hardest
sort of a campaign.
Mr. Colby did not seem worried
by the announcement that Clifford
Pinchot will probably come to New
Jersey in the interest of Edmund b.
Osborne, Mr.. Colby's rival.
IT hardly think Mr.. Pinchot would
come here before the primaries" he
said. "Of course, if he defers his
visit to New Jersey until after the
primaries it will do no harm to Mr..
Colby because by that time he either
will or will not be the candidate"
Mr.. Colby will speak at Haekensack
Saturday night for Herbert M. Bailey,
Progressive candidate to fill the I'M
expired term of the late Congressman
Lewis Martin, of the sixth district.
This win be MIR. Colby's first pubic
appearance since he announced him
self as a candidate for the gubeGna-
torial nomination.
