h. ]. NEAL FOR
SECRETARY

Atlantic City, Dec. 30.-One of the
most bitter contests that have ever
stirred the State Teachers Association

carried out by the friends of Miss Eliz-

Miss Allen has 6een criticised for al
legged mismanagement of the Retire
ment Fund by Miss Mccoy and others.
Time after time complaints have been
made and special committees appoint
ed to make investigation, but reports
have always been to the credit of the
r eneral secretary.
Miss Allen was criticised last wear
and special committee was appoint
ed to make the investigation, and it
was generally supposed that this COM
mittee would make its report today.
Last night, however, it was agreed, in
order to avoid disturbance and the ap-
pearance of politics, that the report
should not be presented until tomor-
row afternoon at the close of the ses-
sion in the high school.
Miss Aliens friends have undertaken
the campaign to place her at the head
of the State Association, not simply
for the honor there may be in the
presidency, but as vindicaion for
herself and her administration Of the
Retirement Fund.
The logical candidate for the Office
OF President is M. H. Kinsley, of West
Hoboken; now first xice-president.

CONTRACTORS
AFTER THE CITY
Atlantic Construction Co. Has
Big Bill.
MANY EXTRAS ALLOWED
City Has Thus Far Resisted Any
Effort to Settle With Water
Plant Builders.

When the Bridgeton water and fl
tration plans was completed, the At
lantic Construction Company, at the
time of final settlement, presented a
long bill of items for extra work al
legged to have been done upon the
plant
1t is estimated that the bill of ex-
tras aggregate something like $4,000.
One of the chief charges made by
the contractors is for pumping water
from the basement during the work of
construction. This bill is for some
thing more than $4,000. The Atlantic
Constructor Company alleges that
this pumping was ordered done by
Public Works Commissioner Timothy
Woodruff, who was engaged in making
some additional pipe connections at
the plant Mr.. Woodruff denies that
he ever ordered this pumping and
says that the water pumped from the
site was for the sole benefit of the
contractors. g
| Another charge is made of $1,000 for
the repair of the broken coagulation
basin. 1t was understood that when
this wall went out under the pressure
of water, that while the construction
company did not accept the response
bility, it agreed that it would be cheap
er to make the repair rather than en-
| ter law suit
There is a charge in the bill of
items for the filing in of a park road.
This is held 70 be ridiculous The At
lantic Construction Company, under
the terms of its contract, was Obliged
to dispose of the dirt from the excava-
tions. The Park Commission agreed
that the dirt should be dumped upon
| the proposed road, which was con-
venience for the contractor and a de-
cidedly shorter haul of the dirt than
it otherwise would have been.
To the surprise of City Councilmen,
there seems to be upon the part of
engineer Clyde Potts, employed by the
city, to permit the Atlantic Construc-
ton Company to make the collection
from the city of most of this charge.
| 1t is felt that Potts has approved
charges in the bill for extras, that
were a part of the original contract,
and it is suggested that the city water
department performed sfeveral thou
sands of dollars in work that was a
part of the contract.
| Potts, it is declared, has not shown
any disposition to protect the interests
of the city, and in addition has some
bills of his own against the city that
many feel are little less than outrag-
eous, notably bill of over $100 for
testifying in Court when the Vice
Chancellor discovered that where
Potts figured $4,000 against the city,
the figures were really in favor of the
city
The entire situation may be ironed
Que in court, and Potts will then have
opportunity to explain his position.

ElKS ARE NOW
COz|lY At HOME

The Bridgeton Lodge of Elks is now
very comfortably and cozily fixed away
in the temporary quarters provided
for the members in the Appelgate C
Johnson building on South Laurel St
While the organization has not the
commodious rooms afforded in the
large building just vacated, the new
quarters are decidedly honey and are
very comfortably and conveniently
furnished. 1t is quite likely that the
Elks will continue in these rooms for
very nearly a year. 1t is not likely
that very much work can be done upon
the proposed new Elks building on
West Commerce street until spring.

hear it when he was not busy. The
objection was overruled
Mr.. Sangston, of the Preston Calen-
dar Company, was called for the same
purpose, and with this witness court
adjourned for the day.
The case of the Mayor and Council
of the Borough of Vineland against
The Fowler Waste Manufacturing Co.
was resumed in court before Judge
Howard Carrow this morning with Mr..
Fowler, the president of the Waste
Co., on the witness stand.
Judge Carrow begun himself by ask
ing the witness, Please state, in your
own way what would be your loss if
you had received correct ill for the
electricity use and paid them?"
Mr. Fowler proceeded to explain
that they made up their charges on
their work done by the amount of cost
bills paid which entered into the cost
of production
Mr.. Spearing, of Philadelphia, book
keeper of the Fowler Co. was called
to explain further the science of over
head charges. He said twenty years
ago the term overhead charges" was
not known. Fixed charges and oper-
ating charges were the terms then in
use.
On cross-examinauion he was asked,
if, as he had stated, the electricity
charge of 81 a day should amount to
$35SS27 in two years?
He did not attempt TO explain it
only by getting mixed up by the terms
calculated on the gross and "calcu-
lated ON the ner."
The case becomes more complex as
iti proceeds, and becomes more and
more interesting to the lawyers, who
have many sharp quips with each
| other.
This witness closed the case and

CLARK AND FOX IN
CONDITION FOR GO
Interesting Exhibition Looked
For When Clever Fighters
Get Together.

Sammy Clark and Young Fox are
in fine condition for their scheduled
four-round boxing contest at Troxler' s
Central Institute tonight. Both
youths are clever and should put up
an interesting exhibition. The second
main event will bring together Young
Bell, a sturdy local youngster, and
frankie Mahon, of Harrison, who is a
pugilist of no mean order. Bell has
victories over Babe Argent and a
number of other local youngsters to
his credit, and is expected to give
Mahon a tussle. The lads met in New
York some time ago. and the result
was victory for Bell by slight
margin.
Danny Murray will have it out with
Battling Frank for the championship
of Belleville." The contest will be the
first semi-final The second semi
windup will have Battling Frankey
and Battling Herman as the princi-
pals.
Three preliminaries will precede the

QUAKER CITY FANS

West Orange Fighter Will Meet
Jim COffey in Philadelphia
Tonight.

Charley Weinert, of West Orange,
will make his debut before the Phila-
delphia public at the Olympic A. A,
that city, tonight, when he will face
Jim Coffey, the dublin Giant, III
the main bout at six rounds. Wei
merit, it is said, has not trained
strenuously for the contest, and as
result should be in superb condi-
ton. Weinert claims that he is in
better shape when he fails to live
up strictly to training rules than
when he works hard.
A victory for Weinert over Coffey
would place him in the good graces
of the Quaker City fans. Philadel-
phia is great boxing town and
winner is seen there often The con
test tonight will be a great test for
Weinert, as in Coffey he is meeting
a man who carries wallop and who
is clever.
