MISS MCCOY HAS
FIRM DEFENDER
He Is New Brunswick Principal
and Answers Charges in
Fund Folder.

Another bombshell was thrown in
the State Teachers Retirement Fund
fight today by Principal Henry Miller,
of the New Brunswick High School.
He espoused the cause of Miss Emma
A. Mccoy, . teacher In his school, in
a pointed letter to John Scott Davi-
son, of Passeic, a trustee of the 'und.
Miss Mccoy has been the chief op-
ponent OF the present manager snt of
the fund. Her attacks have been 80
direct that the management Issued Il
circular seeking to discredit the fight
she has been making.
The folder brought q retort from
Principal Miller, whose letter to Mr..
Dawson IS as follows:
Dear Sir:
In reply to the folder which you
have circulated around the State, In
forming the public that Miss Emma
A. Mccoy, who has been a teacher in
our High School during the past
seventeen years, was not delegated,
directed or authorized to ask any
questions whatever regarding the
Teachers Retirement Fund at the
last annual convention, / wish tc say
that Miss Mccoy never said thai sac
was delegated, directed or 'au-
thorized' by the Middlesex branch or
association, or whatever you may
call It.
Miss Mccoy did say that she was
elected at the meeting OF the Middle
sex county members OF the Teachers
Retirement Fund, held at our High
school on Saturday morning, Sep
TENDER 20, 1918. and that, as the dele
gate representing New Brunswick,
the New Brunswick teachers had
asked her to go to that convention
and ask some questions. which was
and Is the truth.
There seems to be considerable
regarding Miss McCoy's
of the New Jersey
Teachers Retirement Fund, or,
rather, It's management.
After my years of experience with
Miss Mccoy, I desire to say that I
wish more persons would be as care
full Of their statements as Miss Nc
Coy. Yours truly,
(Signed) HENRY MILLER,

LEAPS WITH BABES
AS HOUSE BURNS
RoseIand Man Saves Children
by Jump from Second
Story.

HemIned in by flames. Austin Phil
hnuer, who occupies the old Cobb
house on Eagle Rock road, Roseland.
seized two OF his children from a bed
and Jumped with them from second
story window to the ground Not one
of the three was injured The build
ing was entirely destroyed hS the fire.
A snail pile of snow which Phil
hauer had piled beneath the WINDOW
few moments before without any
thought it would be SO useful broke
his drop and all three escaped with
out injury.
The house is an old colonial one and
was the property of DIR. Albert Fisher,
of Summit, and was recently &C
CURED at sheriff's sale.
Philhauer, his wife and four chill.
dren occupied the house. He had
lust finished shoyeiing the paths
about the house and had stacked all
the SNOW In one heap, more out or O.
whim than anything else, when he
heard screams coming from the in
terror OF the house. Rushing inside
he found one of the lower rooms In
flames and Fortunately saw his wife
and two Oldest children making their
way through the rear door.
With swift leaps he mounted the
stairs to the room in which his Two
Youngest children, one and three years
old, were sleeping, and even though
Ii was but q moment or two Derore
he had them IN his arms, when ne
returned to the top Of the stairs the
fumes had cut off his descent.
Making his way back to the ped
room he worked his way through the
window and poised himself for the
leap. He involuntarily noticed the
snow bank and directed his jump for
1t, landing truly.
There Is small fire department
In Roseland, but the members Of the
department have not yet secured any
apparatus. When they arrived at
the scene and formed bucket bril-
gade It was too late and the house
was entirely destroyed.
The house was formerly owned by
Reuben Cobb and for years and
years had been in his family. DIR.
Fisher bought II with the Idea OF
having 1t thoroughly repaired in
every way. Ne'ghbors gave shelter
TO the PhilhauerB, who lost all of
their wearing apparel except what
they had on. and all of their house,
hold goods.
How the fire started cannot be
as after 1t was all over Mrs.
Philhauer and her two children de-
ciared they were SO excited when the
flames burst forth they did not take
time to look from Just what spot
they sprang.

He is confined In the mems section
