SO. ORANGE Will
INSURE EMPLOYEES
Trustees Decide on Accident
Policies for All Who Get
$1,000 or Less.

BY a vote of four to two the South
Orange Village Board Of Trustees de-
cided last night to take out accident
insurance policies on every employee
of South Orange whose annual salary
is 81, 200 or less. This action was taken
only after a lively exchange OF views,
Trustee Harry J. Schnen, who
broached the movement, finally con-
yincing q sufficient number of his
colleagues of the importance Of voting
for it, and thereby relieving the
municipality of any risk resulting
from injuries to employees while in
the performance of their duties.
Firemen Under Liability Act.
In recommending that the en-
plovees be insured Mr.. Schnell told
of four firemen in a neighboring
municipality receiving injuries while
performing their work, and said ac-
cidents were just as apt to happen
the village employees, who, in some
instances, he added, could compel the
municipality to provide them with a
salary for 400 weeks because Of the
provisions of an amendment to the
employers liability act, passed Marcn
q, 1913. The act. he asserted, places
under its provisions the employees
of anv municipality not receiving q
salary greater than $1,000 q year.
He termed the liability act a very
stringent measure and declared the
law defines the payment the employee
is. to receive for different injuries ana
provides Cor the payment of $40 per
week for a period of 800 weeks should
the disability be temporary, and that
In the event of complete disability he
said the municipality would have to
pay $40 for a period Of 400 weeks.
For partial disability, such as the
loss OF an arm, the trustee said, the
village would be required to pay so
per cent. of the daily wages OF the
injured employee for 200 weeks, and
that for other disabilities partial In
character, but permanent in quality,
the compensation Is fixed upon the
extent Of such disability.

APPEAL TO WILSON
FOR PRISON REFORM
Orange churchmen Protest
Against Herding of Grim
inaIs in Federal JaiIs.

President Woodrow Wilson will b'
appealed to by the mems class in tbs
Religion of Statecraft attached to thu
New Church, Orange. in regard to the
allegations by Julian Hawthorne, this
novelist, kho as a convict in a fedora
| prison found conditions which. hi
alleged are incompatible with g
civilized nations treatment of it;
prisoners, according to an officia
statement issued today.
1.-THE class has decided to call the
| attention of the President, and
through him of the proper authorities
to one point in the problem of prisons
and penal institutions in general
within federal control. While the
class takes no stand as to the original
criminality or non-criminality of the
| acts of Julian Hawthorne, and while
it takes no stand as to the question
of justice in the manner and method
in which the case was conducted by
the courts, 1t does most seriously
and strenuously object to the indis-
criminate herding Of prisoners as in
and Of one class. This is palpably
unjust and unfair, and other institu-
tions are finding 1t out and turning
their best efforts to the itelligent and
scientific classified ton of their wards.
with the feeble-minded enormous
strides in this direction have been
taken. With the insane beginnings
have been made, but with the So
called criminal classes nothing has as
on fhnffCrDf of
And yet. here it Is that the normal
and abnormal, the essentially crimi-
nal and the incidentally criminal
are herded together IN violation of
every law of intelligence, science and
morals.
THE class therefore decided to
submit to the President of the United
States for consideration with refer
ence to our federal penal establish
ments and to Governor Fielder with
reference to the penal establishments
of this State, the general PROPOSE
ton that there be an early claSsifi
cation of prisoners into such cate
gories as expert psychologists and
Psychologists are now able to suggest;
that the matter be given in hands
of new commission for that pur-
pose created or into the hands of an
already existing commission or or
ganically functioning department of
the federal and State government,
with the request that that body or
official give the matter immediate at
tention, consult with such expert
psychologists and Psychologists as can
be found, and report within one year
upon a definite classification of GRIM
inals and the outline of a plan or
method whereby that classification
can be introduced at the earliest pos
sible moment into our penal system"
The secretary was asked to submit
this proposition to President Wilson
and to Governor Fielder at once.

qualities in Passaic VAL
Fey District.

Town Council decided last night to
apply for permission to join in the
Passaic Valley Trunk Sewer. Town
Attorney Charles F. Kocher was in
structed to draw UP an ordinance to

having been covered in conference.
Bloomfield has received the assur-
ances of support from Newark. Belle
vile and Nutley, in it's efforts to join
in the sewer and it is expected that
the other towns in the agreement
will consent. It is likely that Bloom
field will try to get Glen Ridge to
make application to join in the sewer
also.
Joseph J. MCGOWAN, foreman of
Montgomery Hose Company No. 4,
was dismissed from the fire depart
ment on charges of insubordination
and disorderly conduct, preferred by
Fire Chief George Z. Koeber. The
alleged offense took place early on
Sunday morning, December 2S, at
Williamson avenue and Montgomery
street. Assistant Chief George Wes-
terVelt claimed that MCGOWAN hit
him in the face because he was I'M
able to tell where the fire was. James
McDermit, of Newark, counsel for

guilty.

RATED AS MODELS
Assistant State Commissioner
carris Gives High Praise to
South Orange System.

Recommending the industrial train
ing system of the South Orange pub
lie schools as a model from which
schools in other municipalities should
copy, Assistant State Commissioner
Lewis II. Carris, in a report to Com
missioner Calvin N. Kendall, states
that South Orange is one Of the first
districts to carry out the plans which
have been advocated for the combi.
nation of art and manual training,
It is following an inspection of the
suburban schools with County Super
tntendent Morelock that Mr. Carris
praises the plan adopted by the vii
lage and township schools
81 was very much pleased with the
character of the work being done
and plans for its extension and be-
iieye South Orange has plans for in
dustrial work which could well be
copied by many communities of about
the same size in our State" the as
sistant commissioner asserts. He tells
how the work Of the first three grades
consists Of paper folding. cutting ana
construction. The system provides
for the study OF books, including diff
ferent styles Of printing and book
making in the fourth and fifth
grades. Here, he points out IN ms
report, that children actually con-
struet books and learn considerable
about the process of bookbinding.
IN the fourth and first half of the
hfth grades, 100 minutes are given
20 manual art activities as in the
FIRST three grades In the upper half
of the fifth grades, the girls take
sewing for an hour each week, the
boys taking woodwork at the same
time
From the sixth grade to high
school, shopwork is carried on. one
class. the official says. he observed
was making sleds. He tells OF the
preparatory trade class in when
some pupils are mentally deficient
and others "handminded." This class,
he saws, is doing excellent work, its
aim being to accomplish two purposes
TO take care of mentally deficient
pupils under a specially trained
teacher, thus relieving the regular
school teachers OF their care and to
develop mechanical dexterity in boys
who have a natural ability with tools:
The particular feature of industrial
work in South Orange is unity OF all
forms of manual training activities

EXPLAINS VETO OF

Mayor Murray Doubtful About
PracticabiIity of Sewage
Disposal Plant.

In vetoing an ordinance which
would commit Orange to an agree
ment with East Orange and Mont
clair for the construction of an in
dependent disposal system
Mayor Frank J. Murray last night
told the Orange Common Council
that he was not sure that the pro-
posed method had been demonstrated
sufficiently. He also felt, he said,
that immediate action is not neces-
sary, as none of the municipalities in
the Passaic valley sewerage district
will be able to stop polluting the
river for four or five years. The veto
message was referred to the sewer
committee.
A resolution fostered by Council
man Leo Minahan, OF the sewer COM
mittee, was passed for the appoint
ment of special sewer committee
consisting of ten citizens and a
special committee of three Council
members. the last named to confer
with officials of East Orange and
