DESPITE SHOOTING
Council Committee Not to Stop
Dance Hall Where Special Po-
Iiceman Was Slain.

The license committee OF the Com
mon Council will not revoke the dance
hall license of Donate Collucci, of 238
oliver street, following the fatal shoot
ing of Special Officer Frank Miseran-
dino, also known as Frank Baker.
This was brought out at the session
in City Hall last night.
Captain Peter Christie, of the Third
Precinct, declared that the dance hall
was run In a very orderly manner.
Miserandino, he said, did not do all
in his power to assist the police in
locating witnesses to the shooting
ARRAY.
The committee granted license of
two days to the Barnum and Bailey
circus. The permit was granted for
a sum of $500; the first day the tax
is $3.50 and the second $3.50. A permit
was also granted to Sarah Nader for
q moving picture house at 213 and 215
Clinton avenue. When application
was first made there had been several
objections, but these were found to be
from nearby competitors.
Through a representative of the
Loyal Order of Moose an application
was made for permit to conduct an
open air carnival for one week, be-
ginning June l, at the old asylum
grounds. The committee put the
matter over until more information
as to the character of the carnival
was brought TO it's notice.

Municipal Organization
Study Urged for Schools
by Superintendent Poland

A plan by which students under the
Newark educational system may at
future times receive credits at any of
the recognized seats of learning was
proposed by City Superintendent A.
b. Poland at meeting of the COM
mittee on education and instruction
of the Board of Education in city
Hall last night. The question of
municipal organization and adminis-
tration study was also discussed at
the session.
DIR. Poland said that such extension
would be q logical sequence and
step In advance of the present study
of Newark in the curriculum of the
local schools. The initial cost for
such project DR.. Poland estimated for
the first year at not more than $500.
The sentiment of the members of the
committee was favorable to the plan.
and in order to possibly take the
matter up when the budget Is gone
over it was referred back to DIR.
Poland to adduce more elaborate de-
tails
The committee reopened the dis
cussion of maintaining summer high
schools, which proposition was turned
down a month ago and DIR. Poland
was instructed to submit figures as
to the possible enrolment to be ex-
pected.
In the case of Catherine Hippel,
whose father objected to having his
daughter Vaccinated on the ground
that her health did not permit it, the
committee decided that the girl may
continue to visit school without vac
cination and that she shall be again
examined before the opening of the
fall term.
Out of a large number of designs
for an emblem of the South Side and
East Side High schools the commit
tee chose two submitted by M. A.
Geiger, who, like the other designers,
is a pupil of the Fawcett Drawing
School.
Eugene r. Musgrove was appointed
teacher in the East Side High School
at salary of s., 200.

More Religion in Some Poets
Than Old Testament-Carnegi

PITTSBURGH, April SO.-Address-
ing the students of the Carnegie
School of Technology here last night,
Andrew Carnegie said: II am going
to call your attention to a passage
of scripture which | think Is one of
the most important. 1t is The
kingdom of heaven is within you
l am afraid our ministers do not lay
enough emphasis on that passage.
The kingdom is within you and if you
obey the judge within you, you Will
have nothing to fear.
at am beginning to think there is
more religion in some of the poets
than in some of the passages of the
Old Testament, You find such re-
ligion in the verses Of Shakespeare
and Burns. They teach us to become
better men,"
Mr. Carnegie was given a round of
cheers by the students.
