STATE CREDIT FOR
SUMMER SCHOOL WORK

The State Board of Examiners has
decided to give full credit for the
work done in the summer school at
the College of Agriculture, Rutgers.
This action has been approved by the
State Board of Education. Teachers
taking courses in the Summer School
Will receive summer-school certifi-
cate in each subject completed, and it
will be accepted in lieu of state exami-
nations. Persons who wish to obtain
county or state certificates can qualify
for such certificates by attending
Summer School at the College. Those
holding certificates and wishing to
have them exchanged for more ad-
vanced certificates may accomplish
this by carrying few courses.
The courses offered cover the sew
eral divisions of agriculture, manual
training, and home economics. Courses
are also offered in professional and
academic subjects, and such special
lines as music and drawing.
The Summer School is free to
teachers of the state, and the college
dormitories can be used at very low
cost. Every inducement is being of
fered to let teachers and others take
advantage of the first school of the
kind held at the College.

DEVOTED
TO THE subject
Some Little Business That Was De-
manded Accomplished and Much
Argument Upon Roads.

City Council met last evening in an
adjourned session, and devoted prac-
tically all of the evening to the dis
cussion of road building.
All of the members were present
with the exception of Mr.. Fox, and
there were quite number of inter-
ested persons in the audience.
The ordinance authorizing the Con-
struction, Use and Maintenance of the
Sanitary Sewer System, was intro
duced by Mr.. J. M. Laning, and passed
both first and second reading.
The Commissioner of Public Safety
was authorized to order the removal
of the barrier in front of the old
county building, where building oper-
ations are in progress, if in his judg-
ment it was safe to do so.
The Light Committee were instruct
ed Ito order an arc light placed in the
park near the new bridge, at what
ever point the park commission shall
decide to locate same, the light to be
changed against the Park appropria-
tion.
The meeting was then thrown open
to the Representatives of the different
road building concerns, and each pre-
sented his argument in favor of his
own material.
Fred F. Smith also addressed couu-
Gil in the matter of roads which have
come under his observation.
Henry A. Hettinger, who is also in
terested as property owner, abutting
the section of South Pearl street,
which it is proposed to pave, spoke
upon the subject.
The Road Committee, together with
the City Engineer and Corporation
Counsel, were directed by council to
prepare the necessary plans and take
the initial legal steps toward the i'm
'OiiiShI VI SulO oIi CtSA VI 0ti CON,
from where the paving now stops on
South Pearl, to the railroad tracks
near Pine street.
This section has been selected as
the test street, as it is believed the
hardest test can be made at this point.
1t is known that the Road Commit
tee is greatly impressed with the
proposition of Ogden & Platt, to lay
a concrete road And they are also
inclined favorably toward "Ameisite'
a preparation by which permanent
pavement can be built by local labor
with the city's own road roller.
1t is possible that in order to get
the most severe test, that the commit
tee will recommend concrete on one
side of the street, and some other ma
terial on the other side. The entire
proposition is to determine just what
material will give the best service for
the least amount of money, in deter
mining the extensions which the city
shall make in the future.

New York, Nov. 28.-'It will be a

Thus did Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw,
wealthy New York society leader,

be hanged on March 4 next, for COM

POLICE FACE A NEW~MURDER
MYSTERY?-E. C. HOWE DEAD
An echo of the old gambling war,
which in past years made Chicago a
daily scene of blcodshed,. is heard in
the murder of Edgar Clement Howe,
the old faro king, whose body was
found propped up against a haystack
in Proviso, III. A bullet had been
fired into his brain. ..--
From the general position of the
body it is believed that he had been
slain at some other spot and the body
carried to the haystack. The robbery
theory has also been advanced, due
to the absence of Howe's diamond,
which he always wore. A revolver
with three empty chambers was
found beside the body. Three dis
tinct fractures of the skull shattered
the suicide theory. '.
The Identification of the body was
made by the widow, who resides at
.1641 Warren avenue. She said she
had not been living with her hus-
band for two weeks, although there
had been no quarrel. He was simply
unable to support her.
Howe was So years old. He was
cousin of the late George V. Han
kins, and at one time was on the ac-
knowledged leaders of the gambling
fraternity. Recently he had been en-
ployed as assistant caretaker of the
old Harlem race track by Johnny Nc
Cam, the old jockey.

SPAIN AND FRANCE.

King Alfonso of Spain recently went
to Paris for a two days official visit.
He often goes to Paris for visit that
is neither official nor so very brief.
Indeed the fondness of Spanish mon
archs for the dizzy joys of gay Paree
is one of the causes Of dissatisfaction
among the people of nation that has
been losing political prestige for four
hundred years. The official visit OF
Alfonso has given the impression that
Spain is to become the ally Of France.
According to reports from Paris, Al
fonso was received with much honor.
President Raymond Pincare and
Premier Louis Barthou, with the re-
mainder of the cabinet, received the
royal party at the station. The king
and the president talked with each
other while driving through the Ave-
nue. Bo's de Boulogne and the Champs
Elysees to the kings temporary resi-
dence at the Palais d'Orsay. Twenty.
five thousand troops, including In
fantry and cavalry, lined the route
and artillery salutes were fred in hon
