JERSEY CITY REJOICES
IN LEGISLATURES WORK
Especial to the Newark star.I

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Aug. 49,
Advocates of commission government
and friends of the present municipal
administration were jubilant tonight
over the passage of the Martin bills
at today's session of the Legislature.
City Clerk Michael I. Pagan was
at his Office tonight, displaying GER
titled copies of the two bills. Imme-
diately after their passage by the
Senate they were hurried to the Of
fee of Governor Fielder, who signed
them and had then sent over to the
office of the secretary of state.
Assistant Secretary Job Lippincott
had just left his office. He reluct-
antlv returned and turned over to the
city clerk the certified copies.
Lippincott, who had opposed the
bills as the representative of Former
Mayor Wittpenn, who kept in the
background, expressed the opinion as
he handed the certified copies over
to Mr.. Pagan that they were not
worth the paper they were printed
on. I'VE will take the chance on
that" replied Pagan. Frank Hague,
A. Harry Moore and George Il. Bren-
singer, three of the five commission
ers, were in Trenton and worked
successfully for the measure. They
were naturally pleased with the re-
suit Governor Fielder had assured
them that the measure would pass,
Lippincott and the other Wittpenn-
ties who were opposing the bills,
were unable to exert any influence
with the Democratic Senators. They
worked secretly with former Cover
nor Stokes, who expects to be the
Republican candidate for Governor,
out their efforts were in vain. Lipp-
incott died hard. He was the most
disappointed and surprised man in
Trenton. Wittpenn had depended up
on him to divide the Democrats in
the Senate, but he was forced to adj
nit that his influence only extended
to the Republicans.
He was the messenger for former
Governor Stokes. 1t is the general
opinion here that the Wittpenn forces
have been completely routed and
that they will make a poor showing
at the primaries.
Convinced that his former followers
are about to desert him, the Mayor
is endeavoring to form an alliance
with Surrogate John p. Egan so as
to save himself from being entirely
eliminated from local politics.
The passage of the bills met with
popular approval and 1t is conceded
that Assemblyman Martin, who led
the fight on behalf of the people,
will have no serious opposition for
State Senator.

companiee by Mr.. Bloch, visited the

FINANCES CRAMP
ORANGE SCHOOLS
Board Expects to Relieve Sit
uation BY ThiTty-Day
$4,000 Note.

That handicap to the plans of the
Orange Board of Education has been
created by the failure of the Com
mon Council to give promised finan-
cial support became known today,
when officials of the finance depart
ment of both bodies discussed ways
and means to strahghten out the
matter of Immediately furnishing
funds for the obligations of the
schools.
At last nights meeting of the
school board authority was given for
issuing a thirty-day note for $4,000.
BY the immediate sale of the $4,000
issue of bonds for the Park Avenue
school work, the school authorities
can terminate their present plan of
financing the improvement out of
the maintenance account, else work
must cease there and the new school
rooms may not besready until late in
the fall
Thus far some $6s500 ofythe mainte-
nance account has been utilized, and
obligations for a sum nearly equal
TO that amount are due. Payment
of more than $4,000 to the architect
for plans for the grammar school to
be erected in theerear of the present
high school also added to the ex-
penditures of the board in advance
Of the needed sums from the bond
issues.
The 5000 to be borrowed will salts
fy the obligations the board has to
meet at once, and Ii may not be
necessary to borrow, in the event of
temporary aid from the local banks,
pending the floating of the bonds.
In addition to the $4,000 FIR the Park
avenue school the Board last night
voted to ask S150,000 for the new
grammar school and furnishings, and
as there will be some delay before
the Board of School Estimate passes
on the question and the bonds are
disposed of a further delay in the
construction of the new school seems
inevitable.
Part time sessions for "a long while
TO come seem to be the portion of the
children in the grammar grades who
attend the schools in the central sec
ton of the city.
By holding up payments of several
obligations the board might have de-
layed the present conditions of af
fairs, but the creditors were entitled
to their sums and the commissioners
decided to authorize the warrants
and depend upon the financial depart
ment to keep the promises for i'm
mediate relief. No serious conse-
quences are anticipated, however but
the school board deplores the unfor-
tunate delays sure to ensue be-
fore the needed accommodations for
hundreds of children are provided.
With the various buildings certain to
be called upon next month to ac-
commodate record numbers of classes
the problem of meeting the situation
is keenly and anxlously awaited by
the commissioners and others who are
at the head of the system.

ELIZABETH. N. j., Aug. 13.-At
the conference between the JERSEY
central -and Pennsylvania railroads
with city officials yesterday afternoon,
the demands of the Jersey Central
Railroad upon the Pennsylvania in

ficient to allow this and that thew
should allow the complete reconstrue.

A Good Breakfast
Properly Selected
Means running start toward the days work
WISE WORDS
A Physician on Food.

A physician of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the,
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them
how to protect their health especially
by hygienic and dietetic laws.
With such a feeling as to my duty
take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food to equal Grape-Nuts
and that l find there is almost no
limit to the great benefit this food
will bring when used in all cases of
sickness and convalescence.
1T is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach especially at break
fast to start the machinery of the
human system on the days work. In
cases of indigestion l know that a
complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think it
is necessary not to overload the
stomach at the morning meal. | also
know the great value of Grape-Nuts
when the stomach is too weak to di-
gest other food.
This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years treating all
manner of chronic and acute diseases
and the letter is written voluntarily
on my part without any request for
it." Name given by Postum Co., Bat

Campanella, of 517 East Eighty-six
street. shot and killed his wife while
in a jealous frenzy last night and
seriously injured his 11-year-old
daughter, Mary, who tried to save
her mothers life.
Not content with shooting his wife,
Campanella, to make sure the wom-
an was dead, slashed her face and
throat with pocket knife.
Campanella declared that he mis-
trusted his wife and intended kill

successfully fought off neighbors who
tried to hold him for the police and
it was not until the arrival of the

1t was in the Third precinct.
"Ah!" sighed the judge, when the
drift of the Babel-like chatter reached
him. He was getting an answer to a

the witness could only speak Hunga-
