BRENS|NGER WILL
AID INDEPENDENTS
Jersey City official Refers to
Hague as Anti-Witt-
penn Boss.

JERSEY CITY, Sept 13.-George F.
Brensinger, director of revenue and
finance of the Board of Commits
sioners. declared today in public
statement that he intended to sup
port at the Democratic primaries four
candidates who are not on either the
Wittpenn or anti Wittpenn tickets
The candidates whom the commits
sioner is particularly interested in are
George Hendrickson and Francis Nc
Cough for Assemblymen. and Patrick
Sullivan and Thomas Reilly for free
holders. These are the candidates
whom Surrogate John P. Egan is sup
porting. and it is understood that
Egan prompted the Brensinger state
ment.
In his statement Director Bren-
singer referred to Commissioner
Frank Hague, one of his colleagues,
as one of the political bosses who are
responsible for the anti Wittpenn
ticket. The anti Wittpenn forces are
not worried over Brensinger's defec-
ton. They say that as one of Surro-
gate Egan's lieutenants he could not
have done otherwise.
Commissioner BrenSinger has juris-
diction over the tax department and
1t is said that the personal tax col
lectors whom he has appointed will
join with him in his opposition to the
anti Wittpenn candidates. Commits
sioner Hague, who is one of the lead
ers in the anti-Wittpenn movement,
attacked the personal tax system at
the meeting of the commissioners yes
terday.
1t has been known for some time
that former Mayor Wittpenn and
Surrogate Egan have been trying to
form a combination in the board to
control patronage. Their purpose, it
is said, was to ignore Commissioners
Hague and Ferris. They We're not
successful in their plans
At the meeting of the commission
ers Thursday Mayor Pagan went to
Commissioner Brensinger's rescue
when Commissioner Hague criticized
the personal tax system.
Friends of former Mayor Wittpenn
are said to be back of the movement
to weaken Commissioner Hague's in
huence in municipal affairs. They
will never forgive Hague, claiming
that it was his persistent attacks on
Wittpenn that forced the latter out
of the gubernatorial contest.

Osborne Says He Is Sorry
Colby Won't Debate Again
Especial to the Newark star.I

ASBURY PARK, Sept. 13.-Edmond
B. Osborne, speaking here last night,
proposed that the citizens of New
Jersey send to Trenton a Governor
and a Legislature that will give every
municipality the right by majority
vote to take over and operate at cost
the public utilities. Mr.. Osborne
spoke also at Long Branch and at
Red Bank. He was accompanied by
George L. Record. Speaking of the
debate in Newark Thursday night the
Montclair man said he regretted that
Colby rejected his proposal to de-
| bate again next week in four other
cities.
1.-THE debate in Newark last night
must make it clear to the voters of
New Jersey that this is not a per-
sonal contest between Mr.. Colby and
me, but a contest between the advo-
Gates of widely opposing principles
said Mr.. Osborne. 1T is in reality
q contest to determine what kind of
a party the Progressive party is going
| to be.
"Mr. Colby and I pretty much agree
as to what is wrong in this country
the increasing poverty among deserv-
| ing workers. But when it comes to
| the remedy-there we split.
81 propose that we abolish all the
privileges by which the workers OF
this country are robbed of a large
share of their earnings through
having to pay extortionate prices fol-
the necessities of life, controlled by
trusts and monopolies. 1 propose that
we begin that job in New Jersey by
giving each municipality power to
| take over and operate its gas, cleo
trio light, trolley and water service
That will save millions of dollars In
the high cost Of living to the people
of this State.
81 regret that Mr.. Colby refused
the proposition which 1 made at the
close of our debate, to debate again
next week in four other cities of this
State. The large attendance at Krue-
ger Auditorium, the entire seating
capacity of which was taken, with
several hundred people standing, at
tested to the great interest in the
issues we are discussing. Regardless
of the advantage to Mr.. Colby or me
the repetition of these debates In
other cities could not fail to benefit
the Progressive party and help in
the making of sound public opinion

ton should be enacted to prevent in
dustrial accidents through safeguard
ing of life endangering machinery, as
also legislation to decrease the dis
eases incident to the manufacture OF
certain products.
"These results can be brought about
by enlargement of the powers of the
State Labor Department. A complete
publicity of reports of industrial ac-
cidents and diseases should be made.
I'm the past we have permitted the
employment of the children during
long hours. resulting in III health and
no In
hours of labor for children and the
kind of employment should be strictly
enforced.
"As far as possible encouragement
should be given to the adjustment of
labor disputes by arbitration in order
to secure a speedy and peaceful set
tlement of such disputes"
Mr.. Katzenbach came here from
Rockaway, where he had addressed a
large audience which had waited over
an hour in front of the postoffice.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
SHOW GOOD GAIN
IN ENROLMENT
Total of 57,34S Children En-
tered This Year, an Increase
of 2,l24.

A comparison of the enrolment fig
ures in the public schools for the first
week of the new session for this year
and last year show that during the
past week there was a net increase of
2,124 in the figures as compared with
the same period a year ago. In this
number, however, the enrolment at
the Normal School, now under State
auspices, is not included.
The Barringer, Central and East
Side High schools all show a decrease
in attendance, due in all probability
to the opening of the new South Side
school. The weeks enrolment for
the latter institution totals 7O5. The
new Cleveland school, in Bergen

The largest increase in pupils was
shown at the Miller Street School,

in all the schools amounted to 57,34S,

NORMAL SCHOOL is
READY FOR PUPILS
Record Enrolment Is Expected
at Beautiful New Structure
on Tuesday.

! The Newark State Normal School.
admittedly one of the handsomest and
best appointed school buildings in the
the country. will throw open its doors
for the first time under the States
auspices Tuesday morning.
Built and constructed by the local
educational authorities to replace the
old Normal School in Washington
street. which had outlived its useful
ness for an institution of this char
acter, the building, because of the
enormous amount it would take for
maintenance, was turned over to the
State authorities. While il will be
run under the supervision of the State
authorities the building still belongs
to this city.
Situated at Beleville avenue,
Fourth avenue and Broad street the
building is the pride of every citizen
of the city who has had the pleasure
Of viewing it. Since it's formal open
ing in June, for the graduating exer-
cises of the Normal School, the APP
pearanee has been greatly enhanced
by the growth of the splendid stretch
of lawns and the shrubs and other
greenery that have been cultivated in
the sunken gardens surrounding the
structure. The attractiYeness of the
entire layout, both the building and
the grounds, is growing steadily.
Viewing it now one can readily see
an improvement over a month ago.
During the past week. since the
public schools were opened for the
new session, the work of enrolling
the students at the school has been
hn ~
Spader Willis, the principal, and his
able corps OF assistants. Mr.. Willis
was formerly the principal OF the
local Normal School until it was ois-
continued or merged into this insti-
tuition.
1t is expected that the attendance
on Tuesday will be a record one, AGO
students having enrolled. The sp-
pointment of the school and its adj
vantages over other Institutions of a
similar character has been circulated
broadcast, with the result that al
ready the authorities have received
quite q number of applications from
distant sections of the State. There
will be pupils from practically every
section. This being a State institu-
ton, these students from out of town
are eligible to attend here.
One of the many features of the
building is its auditorium, which is
acknowledged to be the best in the
State, so far as schools are concerned.
1t has an entrance from both the in
side and the outside of the building,
so that 1t can be used for evening en-
tertainments without in the least dis
turbing any other part of the build
ing. Its acoustics at recent test
were found to be very satisfactory.
Provision has been made that in
case the school at any time becomes
overcrowded an extra story can be
added. The walls were built with
this idea in view, so they were made
strong enough to bear another story
should the need arise.
