At the noon hour yesterday Craney
was introduced to Schultz as the men
who would '+rounce him. and was
asked if he had any sand"
PLENTY of it" was the reply, and
the Edison workmen and a group of
neighbors followed the principals to
a lot in Bradford street. The battle
was soon under way and the men
peppered each other so thoroughly
that some resident telephoned head
quarters and the authorities got
busy. Craney made a dash for the
West Orange line, nearby, and was
taken in tow by the police there, and
Detective Thomas Brown was sent
this morning to Edison's for Schultz.

MAN TO KEEP PIGEONS

Though the East Orange Board
OF Health believes it is Illegal to have
a pigeon coop within thirty feet of a
dwelling, permission was given Will
lam E. Sheridan, of 20 North Eigh-
teenth street, that city. last night to
keep the birds. He explained that
his neighbors did not object to the
pigeons.
He appeared before the board with
a neighbor, who said that, instead of
being nuisance, the pigeons were a
comfort to the children. Health OFF,
Ger Bowman wanted the board to
compel Mr.. Sheridan to comply with
the ordinance, but the members
thought it should not be enforced in
this case.

DENIES D|GOTRY
IN SCHOOL BOARD
Woman Member Says She Ex-
pressed No Preference for
Protestant Teachers.

Mrs. Pamela Eakins. of the Kearny
Board of Education, denied today the
report that at last nights meeting
of the board she had expressed her
preference for Protestant teachers
rather than one of the Catholic faith
in the public schools. The subject of
| the religion of the teacher In the
schools under the board came before
the meeting when 1t was found that
another teacher would have to be
hired and Mrs Eakins spoke of a
Jewess, whom Superintendent Ores
sci thought would At the place.
In a statement today Mrs Eakins
declared that she asked the superin-
tendent last night If the previous
board had given him any instructions
regarding the religious beliefs of those
who taught in the schools.
! No" Mr.. Dressed replied, accord
ing to Mrs, Eakins. Some of our
best teachers have been Catholics"
Have you ever been criticised for
hiring them?'' Mrs. Eal1ins asked.
mo, I always placed ability first
and they were all excellent instruc-
tors" the superintendent answered.
He then said he thought it was wrong
to eliminate anyone in an open COM
petition because of race or creed,
states Mrs. Eakins.
| Praises Hebrew.
81 taught in a Jewish school in Chi
cago," Mrs. Eakins continued, and I
found that the Jewish pupils had more

other pupils in other schools.
II never thought any discussion
would arise over our meeting of last
night and I will use my influence to
have the sessions of the board execu-
| tive in the future. If used the word
Catholic once last night l do not re-
member 1t. Our talk started not on
that, but on the subject of Jewish
teachers. Some of the members said
after the meeting last night, Now you
| done it, When / asked what they
meant, they said, Your remarks will
not be construed the way you meant
| them
Gerrish Newell, the president of the
board, said at last nights meeting
that several years ago when he first
| entered If1e DOdTu tne same SuUJtt'
had come up and that time discus.
sion had been held. He stated thai
to the best of his knowledge there
are twenty-five Catholic teachers Out
of the total of 10 employed in the
system.
Newell today positively refused tc
| talk of anything that had happened
last night on the ground that it was
routine business.
Admits Statement
George Alexander, the vice-presi-
dent of the board, admitted today
that he had said at the meeting thai
he preferred Professionals as teachers
to Catholics. He declared he hat
no prejudice against the Catholics
but he thought that as they had theii
own schools the places in the public
schools should be given to Protest
ants. ITO my mind every one in tn,
board seemed to be one of the same
opinion as myself" he said.
Better results have been obtained
both here and on the other sid
where the Protestants have been EN-
ployed to the exclusion of the Catho
lies he added.
