KING MAY DECIDE
PRINCIPAL FIGHT
Appears to Hold Key to Situa-
ton in Naming South Side
High Head.

With the members of the Board of
Education at loggerheads over the
principalship of the new South Side
! High School, rather interesting ses-
sion of that body is promised for this
! afternoon, when the matter comes up
for decision.
There are at present two factions
in the board, and each has it's own
! candidate for the place. From this
angle 1t appears that Commissioner
Nathaniel King holds the key to the
situation. Being free from alliance to
either faction, he is the controlling
! factor, and there is no doubt but that
the man he votes for will get the
] place.
In some quarters it is claimed that
! Thomas F. Kennedy, the present
| principal of the East Side High
School, will get the place, while in
! others the same claim is made for
Arthur V. Taylor, a teacher at the
Barringer High School. Though the
odds seem to favor the former, in
| view of the fact that he is recon-
mended for the place by David B.
, Corson assistant superintendent of
, schools, the adherents of Taylor have
not given up hope of landing their
man in the position.
Whether or not the view of Mr..
| Corson will be concurred in by the
board remains to be seen. When the
| question was brought up originally
at the last meeting the vote showed
that the board stood 4 to 4, with Mr..
King master of the situation. 1t was
| laid over at the time until today
when a special meeting was called
Both factions are making claims
that Mr.. King will vote for their can
didate, but he himself would have
nothing to say on the question. He
intimated that he had reached a de-
cision in his mind. but would make
no announcement beforehand.
Mr.. Kennedy is opposed for the
place primarily because of the diff
ference of the character of the East
Side and the South Side schools. The
former, of which he is now the head,
is a commercial and manual training
school, while the other will be similar
to the Barringer School. Mr.. Taylor,
by reason of his experience at Bar
ringer and of the character of the
studies is held TO be more fitted for
the position.
In case Mr.. Kennedy is appointed
there will be a vacancy at the East
Side School, and for this place Mr..
Corson has recommended Eli Pick
wick. jr.. a present director of manu-
al training.
1t is understood, however, that there
will also be opposition to this move,
several Of the commissioners holding
that 1t would be folly to remove Mr..
Pickwick from his present important
position. No other candidates for the
place have as yet put in an appear
ance. 1t was intimated by one of the
commissioners that in case Kennedy
is transferred there will be several
applicants for the place at East Side.

SEEK PROBE TO AID
STARVING STRIKERS
State Senator McCinnis Heads
Paterson Committee to Ask
Federal Investigation.
IFrom n stan Correspondent

PATERSON, N. j., July S.-"When
$4,000 are fairly driven to starvation.
there must be something wrong"
In these words, State Senator
Peter J. McGinn.s summarized to
an Evening Star correspondent today
the reason why the Paterson BUSH
ness Mems Association has voted to
demand a Congressional investigation
of the silk strike.
Mr.. McGinnis was empowered at a
massmeetnig in the Y. NJ. c. A.
building last night to appoint a
committee of fifteen to go to Wash
ington and use every effort to obtain
a full probe of the strike.
II shall decide upon the members
of the committee in a day or two"
said Mr.. McGinnis.
He was asked what sort of ar in
vestigation was contemplated.
zone like that of the Lawrence
strike" he answered.
1t was suggested that he must
think the situation~serious.
mot exactly serious" he said.
1.-THE strike has, indeed. been remark
able for the lack of violence.
Here are 900 millhands who have
been out on strike for twenty weeks.
They are being fairly driven to
starvation. inasmuch as the manu-
lecturers have refused to make any
terms or concessions or to do any
thing except to stand pat as it were,
The business men of the city feel
that there is something radically
wrong that such a condition can exist.
That is why they are seeking a con-
gressional inve stigation"

Talk OF FUSION IN
JERSEY D|SPLEASES
Progressive Congressman Are
Opposed to Any. Union
With Republicans.
+ Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
XVAGHINCTnN I'll. .

F. WASHINGTON, July 8.
Progressive party members in Con-
gress are not at all pleased by the
talk of possible fusion between the
Progressive and Republican parties
in New Jersey, with Everett Colby as
the Progressive candidate. Following
the lead of Theodore Roosevelt. the
twenty Progressive congressman are
to, a man opposed to fusion of any
kind with the Republicans, and in
favor of having the new party main
tain its separate party identity.
1t is the plan of the Progressive
leaders throughout the country to
concentrate the party's efforts this
fall upon the gubernatorial campaigns
III few Eastern States. The fights
in Massachusetts and New Jersey
have been looked upon as the two in
which Progressive doctrines can be
expounded to the best advantage. Be-
cause of it being the home of Presi-
dent Wilson, New Jersey has been
looked upon as the State where the
pushing of an energetic Progressive
campaign will receive probably the
most attention.
If, in the New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts elections this fall, Progress
eive leaders here believe, the Pro-
gressives can hold the vote given to
Roosevelt and Johnson last fall, or
make gains over it, without fusion,
the result will be the completion of
the wreck of the old Republican
machine, and the enforced recogni-
ton of the Progressives as full
fedged new party, instead of a Re-
publican faction.
Fusion with the Republicans, or the
running of Progressive candidate
on both the Progressive and Repub-
lican tickets this fall. it is thought
by members of the Progressive Ma
tional Committee, will have the effect
of destroying the independence and
individuality of the new party, with
the result that when it comes to the
congressional campaign next fall
there will be difficulty in making it
appear that the Progressives are not
merely trying to put the Republicans
back into power
1t has been the plan of nearly all
the Progressive members in Congress
TO come into New Jersey this fall and
help in the campaign for the election
of Progressive governor.
Victor Murdoch, of Kansas. the
Progressive floor leader in the House
of Representatives, said today that
If the plan for fusion between the
Progressives and Republicans on a
gubernatorial candidate was carried
out, it would be impossible for him
and others to take a part in the cam
paign. H. B. w

SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGNERS
NOTLOST, HELD BY MISHAP

Another delay was experienced
while the lame horse was returned
to this city and another secured.
The women, according to their let
ter. are enthusiastic over the results
of their novel campaigning tour. They
say they received a royal reception
in every town or village they enter.
'At Butler yesterday it seemed as
IL the whole town turned out" Miss
Weiss wrote, ITO welcome us. They
could not do too much for us. They
just gave us the key to the place
and we had everything our own way.
There is a big victory in sight for
woman suffrage If we can only get
the idea before the people in an intel
ligent manner"

The suffrage caravaners who are
campaigning the State for the benefit
of the cause and who were thought
to be lost yesterday relieved the fears
of their anxious associates in this
city today by sending letters describ-
ing their experiences since they left
Military Park on the Fourth of July.
The invaders have been greatly de-
layed by accidents since they left.
Sunday morning the whiffletree on
the covered wagon they ride in broke
and kept them back a day. Then
when it was repaired and they
thought they were ready to start,
they found that their horse had gone
lame.
