Endorsement by petition of more than
one party such candidate is required
to inform the county clerk which
designation he prefers tc have fol-
low his name.
Whether this was done is not shown.

HUNGER STRIKE
THREAT AT JAIL
Morristown Prisoners Demand
Mackerel in Menu, but Balk
at Baths.
FspecioI to the Newark star

YOUNGSTOWN, Nov. IA hunger
strike is threatened in the Morris
county jail. Prisoners have demand
ed that they be given salt mackerel
and Goldfish balls in addition to their
regular fare. This menu now includes
pea soup, bean soup, beef, potatoes,
beef stew and lamb stew. with rice
occasionally.
The demand for mackerel and cod
fish was made upon Freebooter
BushelI. chairman of the court house
and Jail committee. To escape the
opportunities of the prisoners when
he visited the jail he agreed TO con-
slider II, but il Is unlikely the re-
quest will be granted. If is is not
granted prisoners threaten to start q
hunger strike. They have not yet
asked for prunes.
We'll give them their meals, and
If they don't eat It's not our fault"
said Jailkeeper Carroll. Let them
strike"
What the prisoners want is ten
hours a day on a rock pile, is the
opinion of at least one freebooter.
The county branch of the State
Charities Aid Association advocates
giving each man bath when he en-
ters jail. This has caused a commo-
ton, particularly among some of tho
habitual "drunks," who say the jail
win not be like home any more if they
have to battle.

Questions incidental to the close of
the year will engage the attention of

day night.
About twenty men were laid off at
the Huff mine Wednesday. The cause
given is the dullness in the iron mar

iron ore.
The population of this borough was
increased by one during October, there
being three births and two deaths,

great apprehension here today that
the 600-foot steel freighter Henry j.
Smith. of Cleveland. must be added
to the list of vessels which met dis
aster in the recent heavy storm that
swept the Great Lakes. There is fear
that the Smith foundered in Lake

forty men.
She was commanded by Captain
James owen. With seas washing
over the breakwater the Smith,
loaded with II 900 tons of iron ore,
left Marquette harbor Sunday eve
ming. That night and Monday morn
ing the storm ragged with exceptional
violence.
Not word has come from the
Smith since she left the shelter of
this harbor four days ago. Marine
men have little doubt that the vessel
was lost with all hands.

Gently had grievances over the Board
Of Education's ruling against the dual
role of teaching and motherhood. will
hereafter take UP all such matters
through a new teachers council. an
idea borrowed from the public school
system of London.
The Board of Education has ap-
proved of the plan with the idea that
it will prove of value not only for the
airing of grievances, but for the sug-
sestion of views that would go toward
the Improvement of the schools.
All final decisions are to be left to
the Board of Education, but the coun-
Gil is to have absolute freedom of
debate and elaboration" and to
recommend to the board any sugges
tons affecting the welfare of the
schools and the teaching staff.
President Churchill, of the Board
Dof Education, suggested the council,
declaring that If teachers were mar
row minded 1t might be called the
fault of the board for keeping them
in a System so mechanical as to
limit too much the exercise Of their
initiative and invention"

according to A. Booerner, a German
inventor who yesterday organized a

Each dirigible will accommodate 300
