II is rumored in official circles that
Mayor Haussling will not appoint

ton of Ambrose Tomkins until after

The terms of three of the commits

The mayor will be required to
name Mr.. Tomkins's successor be-
fore January 81, according to the law,
which states that the vacancy must
be filled thirty days after the va
cancy has been declared. Mr. Tom
kins's registration was accepted

the mayor formally notified. His term
would not have expired until Janu-
airy. 1916.

Fails to Send Daughter
to School; Judge Sends
Him TO Jail for Ten Days

Ten days in jail for not sending
his daughter to school was the SEN
tence melted out by Judge Hahn in
the First Precinct Court today to
Arthur Evins, of II Nassau street.
The sentence was imposed In default
of the payment of S., and the defend
ant declared he was willing to serve 1t.
Evins's daughter Minnie, aged fif-
teen, has not been to school this term,
according to the complaint. the case
has been in court on and off since
November. Some time ago Evins was
fined $40 for the same offense and
placed on probation for period of
six months. He later announced to
Probation officer Matthew Smith that
he did not believe in the probation
system and therefore would not pay
the fine. He was brought back to
court today.
He apprised Judge Hahn of his at
titude and personal beliefs of the pro-
baton system and declared he would
not send his daughter to school. Her
earnings were needed In the home, he
said. The fine was then imposed.

Gen. Collins Gives Reasons
for Retirement as Leader
of New jerseys Military

In a letter to Acting Governor Tay-
Tor, Major General Dennis Il. Collins
gives as his reason for his intended
compliance with the Federal law, the
Standardization order, which Will
place him on the retired list next
month, the fact that he places the
welfare of the National Guard of
New Jersey aboce his own interests.
General Collins says that while he
believes there is some question as
to the legality of his removal he is
content to leave the service since
the Standardization order, as a whole,
will, in his opinion, be of benefit to
the guard.
His letter follows in part:
'In arriving at this decision ] am
not at all in accord with the state
ment, which might be constituted a
threat, that in the event of our fall
ure so to do, within a specified period,
certain federal appropriations now en-
joyed by the State would be with
drawn.
1T cannot but regret withdrawal
from the service to whose interests
have devoted the best and most ac-
tive years of my life. But I enjoy
a great satisfaction in knowing that
I retire from active command leaving
the guard enjoying the highest degree
of efficiency that 1t has ever attained
since its organization"

Legislative Change Making

CHICAGO, Dec 13.-Two thousand

here today, expressed their wrath at
the forced resignation of Ella Flagg
Young as superintendent of schools,
and adopted resolutions calling for

to make the Board of Education cleo
tive Instead of appointive, as at pres
ent, so that the newly enfranchised
women may protect the interests of
the public schools"
There was little talk among the
women as they crowded into the big
auditorium, nor were the speakers APP

and took their chairs awaiting the
call of the chairwoman, Mrs. George

seemed to be in the air." to quote
the comment of Miss Margaret Haley.
author of the resolutions.
AS Jane Adams, Mrs. Joseph T.
Bowen, Mrs. John Mcmahon and other
speakers were heard calling Mayor
Harrison sharply to account and stig-
matizing the acts of the offending
members of the board of education
as "underhanded and unprlncipled, "
emotional restraint gradually ebbed
and the applause became more gen
q
erous.
The chairwoman alluded to Mrs.
Young's successor. John d. Shoop,
when she said, I'VE deplore the APP
parent fact that Mrs. Young's chief
assistant had knowledge of the plot
and has gladly accepted its results"
A letter from the Mayor was read
In which he said he sympathized with
the women and that he had been be-
trayed by men he trusted. He alluded
to the fact that the designations OF
five members of the board which he
took the precaution to exact when
they were appointed, had been ac-
cepted and declared that at least two
other members would go If he had
