REFUSES TO HAVE
SON VACC|NATED
If lrvington Boy Is Denied Ad-
mission to School Suit
May Result.

If the Irvington Board of Educa-
ton refuses to admit Wilson Smith,
son of E. W. Smith, of "a Newton
place, to the Florence Avenue School
because he has not been vaccinated
the matter will probably be taken to
court. The father of the boy pro-
tested to the board in letter last
night This is the first time there has
been any serious opposition to the
rule in Irvington,
Mr.. Smith declared he had received
notice that his son would not be
allowed to go to school unless he was
vaccinated. He declared he would not
have his son vaccinated and that if
the board wanted the bov vaccinated
they would have to go to the Smith
home and vaccinate and accept re-
sponsibility for the consequences.
1t is a hard and fast rule of the
board that every child must be vac
cinated and the members of the board
last night referred Mr.. Smiths letter
to the sanitary committee, with or
ders to see that the rules OF the board
are adhered to.
Edwin F. Kulp. who took his seat
for the first time last night, to fill a
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Thomas B. Buchan, was made chair
man of the sanitary committee, and
as such the onus of the entire pro-
ceedings in reference to the vaccina-
ton question will fall upon his
shoulders.

Echo of Transfers Strike
of Last Year in Court When
Man Is Arraigned for Assault

An echo of the transfers strike of
December, 1912, was heard in Quarter
Sessions Court before Judge William
L. Martin today, where Peter II. Far
Iell is on trial for an alleged assault
committed oc Otto Hopadel, of 2O2
Bigelow street, a shipping clerk en-
IpIoyed by the G. Il. Smith Drug Com
Ipany, of Broad street.
The alleged assault took place on
December H. 1912, near the freight
depot of the Peoples Express Com
|pany on Bowery street. Mr.. Hopadel
testified today that his firm had been
short of teamsters on the day in ques-
ton and he had taken a delivery
wagon out himself and had gone to
the Peoples Express Company for
some goods.
As he was leaving there he was
halted by q number of the striking
teamsters, and, he alleges, without a
word being said, Wasa hauled from
his wagon and badly beaten up.
A number OF men were arrested
charged with the assault by Plain
.clothesmen Frank 70. Brex and Phillip
Kull. Of the Third precinct, and on the
morning following the assault Hopa-
del picked out Farrell as the man who
had been the rlngleader and who, he
claims, was the person who pulled
linn from his wagon.

Second INDUCTION Issued
Against TeIepOst Company;
Has Used Metropolitan Name

Vice-Chancellor Howell, of this city.
has handed down an opinion restrain
ing the promoters of Telepost con-
Germ from using the name of the
Metropolitan Telephone and Tele-
graph Company in selling Telepost
securities. This is the second In
junction issued against the new con-
Germ In regard to the use Of the
Metropolltan's name.
Justice Scott, OF the Appellate
Division of New York, issued a re-
straining order some time ago when
an application for the same injunc
ton was made by the Metropolitan
concern. The Telepost promoters
then came to New Jersey and started
advertising their stocks under the old
Metropolitan name, which is pro-
hibited by the New York courts.
A second suit was brought by the
officials of the Metropolitan Telephone
and Telegraph Company In the local
chambers of Chancery Court. In
handing down his decision Vice.
Chancellor Howell agreed with JUS
tice Scott that no reason could be
given for the use of the Metro
politan's name by the Telepost pro-
motors except a fraudulent and
reprehensible one" and that a re-
straining order was imperative to pre-
vent "a continuation of palpable
fraud upon the public"
III. Lee Sellers and r. H. Sellers are
the Telepost promoters against whom
the injunctions have been granted.

COLGATE WHACKS
SEVEN SISTERS ACT
State Senator Tells Montclair
Association Lawyers Can't
Agree in interpreting Law.

Taking whack at the "Seven Sis
ters'' laws, State Senator Austen Col
gate told the members of the Mont
clair Civic Association last night that
of the many lawyers he had consulted
no two agreed as to the Interpretation
of the act. He is a plain business
man, and such, he said. are needed in
the Legislature to prevent the legis-
lators mailing from the legal profess
sion from making the laws too COM
plex.
Charles T. Root, of New York; Ed
mund b. Osborne and Mayor Ernest
c. Hinck, of Montclair, were the other
speakers. Mr.. Root and Mr.. Osborne
discussed single tax as the only true
equal taxation"
The association elected the follow
ing directors to- serve for three
years: Mrs. James A. Ryan, Mrs.
Edgar A. Bates, Union Nobel Bethel.
DR.. Charles s. Chapin, j. Stewart
Gibson, Rev. Edgar S. Wiers and
Otto c. Wierum, jr.
That Montclair was presenting the
landlords with about million dollars
a year was asserted by Mr.. Osborne.
He further said that while he be-
lieved that the Montclair tax asses
sors were honest the system was
wrong and he advised the members
of the association to appeal to the
Legislature for relief.
Speaking of officials, Mr.. Hinck
said that first of all the people
should start off with believing an
official honest until the opposite was
proven. No honest official, he said,
would then mind just criticism.

trades when the time arrives to take
action against present Industrial con-

coming to the United States. thinking
that it is the only country where
there are opportunities, declared the

OVERLOOK ASYLUM
NURSE SUSPENDED
County Prosecutor indignant
That Fact Got Out, However.
Inquiry Going On.

Members of the county prosecutors
staff were indignant today that the
fact that Miss Cecilia Foye, a nurse
at the Overlook Asylum for the In
sane, had been suspended pending an
investigation of alleged assault on a
woman patient had been made public
by the hospital committee of the
Board of Freeholders at It's meeting
yesterday.
Chief of Detectives Frederick Wei
mer refused all information on the
subject of the investigation made by
the prosecutors office, stating that he
would first make his report to Prose-
cutor Louis Hood. Other members of
the staff pointed out that there was
nothing to prevent the nurse, Miss
Foye, from leaving the Jurisdiction of
the county courts now that she knew
the authorities were investigating the
matter.
Miss Foye is charged with assault
ing Mrs. Alice G. Leach, of BelleVille,
who has been confined to the institu
ton since May 26 last, and according
to DR.. Guy Payne, medical superin-
tendent of the institution, is a diff
cult patient to handle.
Two weeks ago, Mrs. Leach, it is
alleged, was raising disturbances
that bothered all the other patients
late at night. Miss Foye and Mrs.
Elizabeth Rohr, another nurse, were
trying to tie the woman in bed with
bed sheets, when the patient sudden
~ freed herself and fell to the floor
carrying Miss Foye with her.
DR.. Payne was informed of the
trouble and found discolorations un-
dor hOfb aUau of tho ma fiaDf while
there was also a discoloraticn in the
region of the groin. He at once sus-
pended Miss Foye and notified the
prosecutors office of the incident. 1t
is understood that Miss Foye has
handed in her resignation as a nurse
and today left the overlook institu-
ton.
