Bennett Files Petition;
After Place Now Held
by Councilman Grover

Selecting the designation "Repub-
lican,' Reginald T. Bennett, son of
Ernest 7. Bennett, superintendent of
the shade tree department of East
Orange, today filed with City Clerk
Lincoln E. Rowley a petition for the
nomination of councilman in the
Fourth ward. He Is one of a number
of men in the Fourth ward who have
hopes of unseating Councilman
George A. Grover, the present incufn-
bent, this year. Bennett is the first
of the group to file a petition.
That Bennett intended to oppose
Councilman Grover was predicted
following the visit to East Orange
sometime ago of "Dr." Joseph Slat-
terry, the alleged ex-priest. who at
tackled the Catholic religion in talk
at the East Orange High School.
Bennett collected the tickets for ad-
mittance to hear Slattery.
Councilman Grover, who has been
referred to as the brains" of the
City Council, intends to oppose the
group Of aspirants for his seat on his
record. He expects quite an energetic
effort will be made to prevent his re-
turn to the council.

SEEK CONFERENCE
ON FEE QUESTION
East Newark School Board
Wants Understanding Regard
ing Tuition Charge.

The Harrison Board of Education
yesterday received letter from the
East Newark Board of Education
relative to the recent action of the
first named body in advancing the
tuition fee for high school courses
for out-of-town pupils. AS told ex-
clusively in this paper, the East New
ark board has criticised the action of
the Harrison body.
The letter received yesterday was
a request for a conference on the
matter of fixing a permanent tuition
fee There was nothing said at the
meeting .hat would indicate that the
Harrison board contemplates revers-
inp its action. Up to this year the
fee was $40 per pupil. An increase OF
SO will be made beginning with the
next term
The East Newark board argues
that the Harrison officials were glad
to get the East Newark scholars at
$40 per head a few years ago. 1t is
not very likely that many East New
ark children will enter the Harrison
school this year, as a number of the
recent graduating class members
have already asked that they be AL
lowed to attend the Kearney High
School These requests have been
granted
AS told in this paper, the East
Newark board permitted forty Har-
rison pupils to attend the East New
ark school last year because of the
overcrowded conditions i'm Harrison
schools. 1t is not known whether or
not East Newark will permit con-
tinuance this year.
1t is likely that the two boards win
hold conference on the tuition ques-
ton. The meeting yesterday was the
shortest ever held by the Harrison
board 1t took just a quarter of an
hour to transact the business. Conn
missioner Dolphin left town last
night for a few weeks vacation.

HONOR MEMORY
Of LUCY STONE
CONTINUED from First Page0

nerson in her eyes was no better than
p black, brown or yellow one. Hu-
manity was her field. She contended.
and rightly thai we all had a com
mon Creator with an unalienable
right In each of us to life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness TO her
these words in the Declaration of In
dependence of our fathers meant
something, and she revolted against
the idea that any right in govern
fnent or society existed in man that
did not have equal force for woman.
with her the persons who con-
tended against any right that woman
claimed were put upon the burthen
of proof to sustain their contention.
She never admitted, on that PROPOSE
tion, that she held the Affirmative or
that 1t was requisite that woman
should show that she was entitled to
any right which man possessed on
the basis of humanity she insisted
that woman had the same right as
man.
And that is a position that can
not be overthrown; that is the posi-
tion which the women of today must
maintain. DO not let the opponents
of equal suffrage put you in a posi-
tion OF necessity to prove your right
to 1t. Keep them in a position where
they must show that you are not en-
titled to 1t, and there is no argument
founded on the equality of the human
race by which opposition 20 equal
suffrage can be supported

WILL RECOMMEND
 SLAUGHTER HOUSE
Health Officers Go to Bridgeport and Investigate System Which Fur
 nisllcS Revenue There.

Chairman H. S. Tallard of the E. Reeks and Food Inspector B. D. Radcliff returned from Bridgeport last evening enthusiastic about open ing municipal slaughter house in this city on a plan similar to that in operation in the Park city. They were accompanied on the trip by Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford.
 The Bridgeport slaughter house during the past year returned $1,95O to the city after all expenses were paid. At present a rebuilt barn is being used, but this will be replaced soon by a $20,00O slaughter house. Fees are charged according to the animal to be killed. The house is under the supervision of a former butcher, who receives $20 a week. He inspects all animals brought to the place and should any appear to be diseased in any way lie calls in the city veterinarian, who is also food in spector. Butcher shops in Bridgeport cannot sell meat that does not bear the stamp of either the United States or the city, and any dealers detected handling unstamped meat are fined S25 in police court while the person who did the slaughtering is also fined.
 Chairman Tallard is head of the subcommittee of the health commits sion considering the advisability of having a slaughter house in this city, and it is probable that the committee will recommend the erection of house here. It is estimated that one can be built for about $3,000.
 The New Britain delegation spent eight hours travelling between this city and Bridgeport, and was unable to view the slaughter house, although the members were given a good idea of how it operates.

 The speaker expressed the hope that the adhesion of Italy to the Lon don convention would bring closer CO., operation among the allies and greater reciprocal confidence aiming at the defeat of the mutual enemy. He said he thought that the Italians British, French and Russians fought with equal valor but all needed perfect re- ciprocal assistance in the matter of supplies and in the commercial fields. He hinted at the possibility that the entente governments might requisi- ton all the craft in their mercantile marines with view of securing low CT freight rates for the transportation of the most needed necessities.
