dismissal of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young

in the Board of Education that
sought her removal several months
ago, will be made an issue by wom-
en- voters in the spring election.

Adams and several other prominent
club women and suffrage leaders
conferred with Mrs. Young today and
a movement for a meeting of protest
was started by half dozen women's s

Young's retention, today placed the
blame squarely upon Mayor Harri-

OF
JERSEY TONY.
Discussed At Hearing Yester-
day-LynCh for Amboy.

The advisability of building eth
er tunnel or a bridge to connect
Manhattan with Jersey City, or
both, was discussed at a hearing
held before the New York and New
Jersey Bridge and Tunnel Commis-
sions at city hall in New York yes
terday afternoon. Secretary Hugh
Lynch, of the local Board of Trade,
represented the body at the hearing.
Bridges, tunnels, the combination OF
a bridge and tunnel, and New York
terminals as far north as Fifty
ninth street, were included in the
suggestions, which fifty or more cit
liens and civic bodies and CONNER
cial bodies offered. Joseph e. Kean,
of the Mercantile Association, stated
IL tunnels were built they should be
Ia pairs. He asserted that some
place between Fourteenth and Twen-
place for the New York terminal.
William H. Crehare, an engineer,
representing the taxpayers Of New
Jersey, raised the question of ven
tilation, which he said would nee
essitate separate tunnel If the traf-
fic tubes were to be practicable. II
Is the opinion of many that a wide
bridge connecting Jersey City with
Manhattan would be more advantage
Gus to this section of New Jersey
than a tunnel, as the bridge would
accommodate both pedestrians and
all kinds of vehicular traffic.

Clerks Union Representative
Was Scored by Recorder for
His Effort To Have Store
keepers Fined.
GET SUSPENDED SENTENCE
CharneS viii Be Hello Against
the Men - Warned hat
Double Punishment Will be
Given If Found Guilty Again.

William NJ. Hallahan, a complain
ing witness for the clerks union
against Sunday sellers, came In for
a scoring from Recorder Pickers-
gill last night when he insisted that
Sabbath law violators be fined. The
disagreement followed suspesion Of
sentence in the cases against Sam
uel Klein, OF 343 State street, Jonah
Goldsmith, of 329 State street, and
e. Feldman, of 1916 New Brunswick
avenue. The case against Samuel
Mandel, of 200 New Brunswick ave-
nue., Is due to be heard next We'd
nesday night, and that against Hy
man Wedeen, of 271 Smith street, q
week later.
Fight the VioIators.
Hallahan said the union was de-
termined to fight Sabbath law viola
tors to the end, that the members
would go out next Sunday and en-
deavor to get evideRce against the
same defendants and others as we'll,
and would insist on convictions and
having the violators fined. Recorder
Pickersgill replied that he was run
ming the court and when IL came to
imposing fines, he would be the
Judge of that so long as he occupied
the bench. and he did not propose
to be dictated to by any person. The
clerk said he did not mean to insist
on imposition of fines in all cases,
but meant that Vlolators should be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the law.
Will Be Punished.
Under the decision then made by
Recorder Pickersgill, Sabbath law
breakers will be punished under sec
ton ] of the vice and immortality act
OF the state, which provides that a
fine OF but 81 be imposed in each
case. According to an opinion rem
dered by City Attorney C. C. HON.
mann, the recorder could use his
discretion In proceeding under the
state law, or city vice and immor-
alitly ordinance, which provides for
fines up to $40 In each case. Per-
sons who set aside one day a week
as day OF rest may conduct busi-
ness on what Is commonly known
as Sunday and be exempted from
punishment under the provisions of
that ordinance. The decision Of
Recorder Pickersgill will make 1t
possible for merchants to do a Sun
day business by payment of 80 In
the form of fine, unless more than
one complaint should be made
against person at one time.
Suspended Sentence.
In suspending sentence In the
three cases before him, the recorder
said the charge would be held
against the men and warned them
that they would be doubly punished
in event they were again found
guilty on a similar charge. Klein
pleaded guilty to selling pickles.
meats and horseradish last Sunday.
He said he kept a delicatessen store
and sold only prepared foodstuffs.
He stated that the business had been
carried on for four years and he
had never thought that it was un-
lawful. Goldsmith likewise pleaded
guilty to selling meats and groceries
In his delicatessen store, and Field
man to selling groceries last Sunday.

HAMRE MYSTERY
STILL DEEPER
Disappearance Is Taken Up
With Norwegian Consul.

Mystery has been added to the
strange disappearance of Harold
Hamre five weeks ago by the re-
ceipt of a letter here, sent by his
parents to his uncle whom he was
to have met on the day of his dis
appearance. Mr.. and Mrs. Van
Schoick, Of 70 High street, where
the young man boarded, have sent
letter to his parents In Norway.
telling them of his strange absence.
The letter sent to Hamre's uncle in
dicates that he was to have taken
him to this city, while the latter
was enroute from Europe to the
western part of this continent. The
subject has been taken up with the
Norwegian consul in an effort to
find the missing young man and to
have the letter In question opened.
At the home of Hamre in this
city, and among his friends here,
there is not the slightest clue con-
cerning his whereabouts. He left
this city November to meet his
uncle, who was then to have arrived
from Europe. It is not known
whether or not they met, for moth
ing has been heard from either
Hamre or his uncle. 1t had been
expected that they would meet and
spend several days together in this
city before the relative continued
his trip westward.
A general alarm sent out In New
York and elsewhere has availed
nothing. Morgues, hospitals and
sanitoriums have been searched In
vain. The young man was employ
ed as chemist at the American
Smelling & Refining Works. He
was Norwegian, twenty-rour years
old, and had q smooth face. His
household effects, wearing apparel,
technical books and other belong
ings remain just as he left them
at the Van Schoick home.
