They were young and glad together
In the dawn of life's first May,
When in bright and sunny weather
Sang the birds from every spray.
Clear the heavens shout out above
them;
Blue and radiant were the skies:
All things living seemed to love them
And the spring cleaned in her eyes.
Through life's summer still together,
Hand in hand and heart to heart,
They have borne the sultry weather
And have watched the days depart
Still to him she is the maiden
Who stepped daintily of old
Through the grass, her apron laden
With bright buttercups of gold.
Still together still together
They will face lifes autumn hours;
In the grim November weather
Love will strew their path witt
flowers.
For their love has ever frightened
Since the first long loving day,
And their happiness has heightened
Though their hair is growing gray

Behind closed doors the Kearny
Board of Education last night award
ed to j. Allen Conklin, of this city, the
contract for work to be done in Kear-
ny Public School No. 6. Conklin had
been the lowest bidder in two eompe
titions. The action of the board in
failing to allow Conklin to proceed
with the work when he submitted low
figures on June II has resulted in the
work being delayed two months.
In consequence of this action 1t will
be impossible for the contractor to
have the work, which consists of fire.
proofng, completed, when the fall
term begins in September. The bid on
which the contract was last night
voted to Conklin was submitted Mon
day night. The board failed to make
the award on that evening, giving as
a reason they wanted to inspect some
work done by ConSlin in other parts.
Conklin was taken into the meeting
room last night. Reporters were not
present when the board and the con-
tractor were in conference. Just
what conversation went on in the
room was not learned. 1t was admit
ted later, however, Conklin had been
awarded the contract. 1t is under
stood that should the board have
taken any other procedure, Conklin
would have taken legal action through
his counsel, former Prosecutor Pierre

WILSON is PLEASED
WITH HART'S ELECTION
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg.
WASHINGTON LILLY o.

President Wilson was highly pleased
this morning over the announcement
that Archibald Hart, the Democratic
candidate, had been elected yesterday
to fill the congressional vacancy in
the Sixth district of New Jersey.
Reports here that the Progressive
candidate, Bailey, was making heavy
gains in the district, caused consider
able apprehension at the White House
last week, and were responsible for
the Presidents message indorsing the
record" of Hart, who served in the
House for few weeks last year. This
apprehension also led to the action of
the Senate lobby committee in bring
ing up the McClave letters in the Null
hall testimony at that time.
The reports here that Hart won by
a big majority and that the Progress
sive vote in the district showed a fall
ing off from last fall are taken as
giving the election result the signifi-
canoe of a strong Endorsement for the
program of the Wilson administration
to date H. B. w.

Tumulty in PowwOw With
Wilson LeaguerS at Avon

1t has just been brought to light
that on Friday last, Joseph p. Tum-
ulty, secretary to the President, with
Senator William Hughes, Congress-
man Scully, County Tax Commits
sioner William P. Macksey, Simon p.
Northrup, and Arthur Sinnott, a
newspaper man, held a secret pow
WOW at Scotty's at Avon.
Within but a short distance from
the Tumulty gathering sat City
Counsel James r. Nugent and Mrs.
Nugent. His presence there seemed
to make Tumulty nervous. When
the latter reached the place Mr.. Nu-
gent was already there and II was
several minutes before Tumulty de-
cided whether he would stay or not.
He was accompanied by Sinnott and
was later Joined by Macksey and
Northrup. Afterwards Hughes and
Scully drove up in one of the govern
ment's automobiles.
While none of those at the con-
ference would have anything to say
later it was learned that the topic or
conversation was the Presidents
feeling toward Fielder and the fight
for State committeeman. 1t seemed
that the party was afraid lest Mr..
Nugent might hear them planning
his political overthrow, because they
spoke in guarded and whispered
tones.
Mr. Nugent today would make no
statement concerning the conference.
He admitted that he had met the
Tumulty party at Scotty's, but said
that he did not know the purpose OF
the meeting. p

EXCISE BOARD TO SETTLE
LICENSE CUES TON TODAY

Decision on the revocation of the
licenses of the Hotel Broad and the
Bank Cafe will be reached by the
Excise Board today. The proprietors
of both places. George e. Mausert
and John Seibert, both of whom have
been convicted of keeping disorderly
houses, have been notified to show
cause why their license should not be
taken away
1t is understood that counsel in each
case will raise the point that inasmuch
as their client has appealed from the
decision of the court the board is
restrained from taking any action
on the license. 1t is their contention
that the appeal acts as stay.
Sometime ago, however, City Attor-
ney Herbert Boggs in an opinion took
the opposite view, and it is under his
ruling that the board is taking up
the questions The trials are sched-
uled for o'clock, while the regular

ASKS RECONSIDERATION OF
WOOD PAVING PROPOSITION

The Rev. John S. Miller. rector of
the House of Prayer, today sent a
to the Board of
Works, asking that body to recon-
slider the proposition to pave Broad
street with wood block. He calls at
tention to the petition which he sub
mitted to the board on July 3, in
which property owners with more
than 1000 feet frontage on the section
north of Fulton street, and those
owning about 300 feet frontage south
of Market street, signed a petition
protesting against wood blocvk pave
ment being laid.
One paragraph of the clergyman's
letter has several officials wondering
as to what its entire meaning is. The
writer also contends that a large
number of Broad street property-own-
ers have not announced their 'stand
on the wood block paving question.
IF these owners made their choice
known, writes the rector, the board
would learn that the majority of
property do not favor wood
block paving. He also states that
this quality of paving would prove
unsatisfactory for many reasons.

Through Clever Ruse Wife
Nabs Husband Who ElOped
Especial to the Newark star.I


JERSEY CITY, N. j., July "a
Through a clever ruse on the part of
his real wife, Jacob Auklin was ar
raigned in the First Criminal Court
before Judge Warren yesterday on a
charge of desertion. She did her own
detective work and worked bright
newspaper men to help her out in her
scheme to bring her recreant husband
to justice. She claims her husband
left her while they were living at ia
Monticello avenue, and fed with an
affinity to Europe. This happened
five years ago.
Mrs. Auklin had a warrant issued
for his arrest, but later, surmising
that he would not return to this coun-
try so long as a warrant was out
standing, she withdrew it. Then she
gave wide circulation to report that
she had secured divorce and was
making her home in a far Western
city. She saw to it that these re-
ports reached him and he fell into
the trap she had laid for him.

ernor Wilson agreed to his terms.
and Crater and Lippincott were
given the jobs.
Although he got the delegates, 1t is
said that Mr. Wilson has never for
gotten or forgiven the "hold-up" game
worked on him by Wittpenn 1t is
known that Secretary Tumulty re-
fused from the outset to commit him
self in any way that would even sug-
gest that Wittpenn had the admins
tration favor, and that Mr.. Wilson
has carefully avoided making any
statement that could be contorted in
to a seeming Endorsement of the
ex-mayor.
In comparison with Wilson's volun-
tary double Endorsement of Fielder
last winter, his silence at all times
concerning Wittpenn's candidacy and
Wittpenn himself, has been from the
opening of the legislative session last
winter, considered by many as in
dicating that Fielder was his per-
sonal choice for the Democratic nomi-
nation.
IT is positively known that the
Wilson Democratic League of Essex
County refused to indorse Wittpenn
last spring, after a visit by two of
It's executive committee members to
the White House. Congressman Tut

Former Mayor Wittpenn again dis
appointed his followers today by fall

nouncing his candidacy for the Demo-

statement is now month behind
time. Many of the former Mayors
closest friends are of the belief that
the statement will never see the light
OF day. They are now willing to ad-
NIT that The Newark Star stated the
facts when a month ago 1t announced
that at the proper time Wittpenn
would announce his withdrawal from

that the former Mayor had reached
the conclusion that his boom had
all but collapsed and that it would
be loss of time and energy to con-
tinue the fight.
