SCHOOL BUDGET GOES
UP $24,000 OVER The
TOTAL OF LAST YEAR
Estimate Board Fix $4,000 as
Amount Necessary to Maintain
Schools Of This Citv Next Year,
MAY ADD $|OO, 900 IN JUNE

Appropriations aggregating $780,
600 for the maintenance of public
schools during the next year were
provided for in a certificate passed
last night by the Board of School Es-
innate. This is an increase of ap-
proximately $4,000 over the total
amount for maintenance the last
year. 1t is estimated that an addi-
tional appropriation will be made in
June for about 100000, for the
erection of a new school house in
the Budapest section an addition to
school No. In Smith street and the
conversion of the high school audi
torium into class rooms to provide
more room for teaching.
The certificates as passed by the
board of estimate at its meeting in
the mayors office at o'clock last
night provides for an appropriation
of $173.230 for salaries, fuel, books,
janitor supplies, printing and night
school; 1920, for repairs, and
$500 for manual training, making
total of $4,000. OF that amount

TO SUE GROCER
FOR THE WRONG

Mrs. John Talaroski, of Penn
street, who has attracted much at
tention through her appeal to Judge
John w. Beekman for aid in defeat
ing the writ of attachment sworn
to by John Bigos, grocer at 651
Penn street, and executed by Con-
stable John C. Platt, by which she
was dispossessed of practically all
OF her furniture, is preparing to sue
Mr.. Bigos for $500 in the district
court for the inconvenience and suf-
fering sustained by the execution OF
the writ, which she alleges to have
been illegal. Leo Goldberger repre-
sents the plaintiff.
In the district court tomorrow
Mr.. Goldberger will ask Judge John
w. Beekman to set aside the writ of
attachment which was issued by the
clerk of the district court on affidavit
sworn to by Mr.. Bigos who claimed
Talaroski owed him s52 for grocer
les and that he was an absconding
debtor. Mr.. Goldberger has served
notice on Constable Platt to release
the furniture.
1t seems that Mr.. Talaroski was
one of those thrown out of work in
Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-05-22

the recent strike and that he left
the state to find work. In the mean
time, Mrs. Talaroski claims that she
had to move from her apartments
she had been using when her hus-
band left because she could not pay
the rent and was ordered to yacate
the premises.
She further alleges that Mr.. BIZ
gos, in seeing her furniture being,
moved to another part of PENN
street to the home Of some of her
friends, came to the conclusion that
she was trying to leave the state with
her husband, and therefore obtained
the writ of attachment. The woman
claims that she did not owe Mr.. Bi-
gos the whole of the $52, as part OF
the debt was contracted by another
occupant of the same apartments.
Immediately after the writ of at
tachment Is set aside, which seems
most likely, Mr.. Goldberger Will
start the damage suit against the
grocer. John Talaroski has returned
to the city after being unable to find
work outside, and is now employed
in factory here. During the whole
OF his absence Mrs. Talaroski has
made her residence at this place.

Cheers Than King George
of England Received.
CZARlhA NOT PRESENT
Kaiser Had to Change Uni
forms in a Private Room
in the Station.
CZARINA NOT PRESENT.
Special by United Prsss Wire.

Berlin, May 22:-Czar Nicholas
H.. of Russia, arrived In Berlin today
to attend the wedding of Princess
Victoria Luise and Prince Ernst
of Cumberland. and things happened
so rapidly at Anhalter railway sta
ton that the kaiser was forced to
make one change of uniform in a
private room of the depot, there be-
ing no time for him to 90 to the
palace.
The czar was not accompanied by
the Czartna, which was a disappoint-
ment to the crowd, but his reception
was much more effusive one than
that accorded yesterday to King
George and Queen Mary, of England.
Close observers said that the differ
ence could not be attributed to poll
tics.
The Berliners are out for a holiday
and all thoughts of war are laid
aside. King George and his consort
never before were in Berlin and the
throngs were not familiar with their
faces, while the czar has been seen
in Berlin several times, and the
crowd naturally had more cheers for
him than for stranger.
Just before the czar's special and
close-guarded train was due, the
Duke and Duchess OF Cumberland,
soon to be father-in-law and mother
in-law to Princess Victoria Luise,
arrived from Rathenow, thirty-five
miles away. To greet the duke prop
erly, Kaiser Wilhelm wore the uni
form of British officer and 1t was
the necessity of meeting the Czar In
a Russian uniform a few moments
later that forced the kaiser to make
his hurried change of attire at the
station. Empress Augusta Victoria
and Queen Mary were not at the
depot because the cZar was not ac-
companied by the czarina or any of
his daughters. The kaiser, King
George, the crown prince, Prince
Ernest, the bridegroom-to-be and
the Imperial Chancellor Van Beth
mann-HollWeg met his imperial ma
jesty. The kaiser and czar embraced
vigorously and kissed each other on
either cheek. Then King George
and Nicholas embraced and kissed

crease is more than twice as great
as that of last years appropriation
over that of the previous year, which
was about 100000.
The appropriation last year by the
city for maintenance of public schools
was $4,000, an amount $4,000 less
than it Is expected will be incorpo-
rated in the budget this year.
The largest amount, $173,230, Is
largely for salaries, which will be in
creased somewhat the coming year.
With the additions to schools, it is
estimated that from sixteen to eigh-
teen additional teachers will be re-
Quired, bringing the total number up
to 170.
Copies Of the certificate will be
sent to the council and Board of Ed
ucation, to be used for making up
the budget. The board adjourned
with the understanding to meet again
In June to consider appropriations
for school extensions.

Governor in Close Touch
With Strike Situation
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, May 22.-In a statement
made this morning, Governor Fielder
announced that the state will take
immediate steps for the protection of
the property Of the Empire Steel and
Iron Company at Wharton, which is
being threatened by strikers. He
stated that Adjutant General Sad
Ter will go to the scene of the strike
and that If he finds the authorities
there unable to cope with the situa-
tion the militia will be detailed to
the scene. The governor said that
the state had not neglected to make
preparations for the immediate send

occasion require detachments could

Declares There is no Scramble for
Office Among the Progressive Lead
ers and States His Own Position
HIS IDEA OF DIRECT PRIMARY

I know the situation thoroughly;
there is no scramble for office"
among the Progressive leaders; | do
not believe there is any man on the
State Committee who has the slight
est feeling of jealousy for Mr.. Colby,
If there is any enmity between Mr..
Colby and me, he has the monopoly
of it; l am not and shall not be the
enemy of any man who Is trying to
work for the same principles that
am, and l have no question about
Mr.. Colby's sincere devotion to the
principles we both believe In.
No member of the State Commit
tee, In my opinion, entertains any
feeling toward Mr.. Colby that should
make 1t difficult for him to work on
the Committee. We frequently dis
agree with Mr.. Colby sharply about
party policy, but there is not, l feel
sure, single man on the State Com
mittee who is his enemy, OF who
would in1ure him politically or other
wise. We all want the Progressive
party to get the best possible service
Mr.. Colby can render it, and we shall
be glad to see him get in return all
the rewards and honors that logically
result from such service.
A reference in Senator CoIby's re-
cent published statement gives the
impression that l am "out" for the
Governorship-an avowed candidate.
What I said to Senator Colby clearly
states my attitude, and l will repeat
that part OF our conversation; he
asked me: "Do you want to run for
Governor" My answer was: 81
would be glad to be the candidate,
II the leaders of the party are agreed
that my being the candidate is the
best thing for the party" There is
only, question to be answered

New York, May 22.-Making a
bold attempt to rob bank messen-
ger who was carrying $4,000 to the
office of a manufacturing company
from the Columbia bank four Italian
highwaymen today engaged in a pis-
tol battle with James P. Wintreen,
the messenger, and several policemen
who were attracted to the scene by
the early firing.
The attempted robbery of the mes
senger in the midst of crowds on
106th street. was one of the boldest
of it's kind ever attempted In New
York. Bullets flew thick and fast
when the police arrived on the scene
and one of the bould-be robbers was
shot down and captured. When the
four men opened fire on Wintreen
he was shot in the arm but the
wound is not serious.
Wintreen carrying cash to the Ma

was in a carriage when the four men

Wintreen was hit with the club, but
Immediately drew his revolver and
started firing. The men whipped out
guns and returned the fire and when
Sergeant Sheehan and Patrolman
Finnegan arrived on the scene the
fight became general.
The attack took place just before
noon and persons on the streets
scurried to cover when the firing
reaching its height. When it was

and fed. Wintreen retained the

Recent actions of Everett Colby
have brought a great deal of public
ity to the Progressive party, of which
he was one of the organizers. 1t
has been known for some time that
everything within the party's inner
most circles was not as harmonious
as 1t should be. 1t was generally un-
derstood that the disagreement was
between the Colby and Whiting fac
ton on one side and the Record, Os-
borne, Blauvelt faction on the other.
The matter was brought into the
limelight by a interview with Everett
Colby published In a Newark paper
recently in which Colby was quoted
as being in favor OF the Republicans
and Progressives getting together on
a candidate for governor. Colby said
this interview was misunderstood
and that he as much of a Progressive
as ever. Now Colby has resigned as
a member of the Progressive State
Committee. This has led some poll
tfcians to declare that he Is man
Without party.
Edmund B. Osborne, Chairman OF
the State Executive Committee, has
issued the following statement con-
eerning Ex-senator Everett Colby's
recent resignation from the Progress
sive State Committee, and defining
his own attitude toward the Pro-
gressive nomination for Governor.
Mr.. Osborne's Statement.
The announcement In the press OF
Mr.. Colby's resignation from the
State Progressive Committee has
given the public the impression that
there is serious internal dissension
In the party, that the leaders are
divided with "jealousies and hunger
for Office" and that l In particular,
am hostile to Mr.. Colby The facts
do not warrant any such impression.
