POLICE BOARD
PLEASED WITH
TRAFFIC STATUS
Pres. Breidenbach Says Police
Are Handling 1t WeII-Jit-
neys UP Again.

Jitneys in both the abstract and
concrete form provided the police
commissioners with food for thought
and action at their meeting yester-
day afternoon. Traffic conditions in
the city, due largely to the presence
of the jitneys on the street, was first
considered, and it served as the me-
dunn for President Frederick Breiden-
bach to bestow a small bouquet on
himself and the other members of
the board, with the statement that
the Newark police were handling the
traffic situation here as well as the
New York force handle it in New York.
Then jitney traffic was the means of
a request for a detail of two motor
cycle policemen on Springfield avenue
near the Court House during the
night rush hours, while to wind up
matters there was a complaint lodged
against the jitneys as nuisance to
business houses near the Jitney Ser
vice Association service station at
554 Broad street.
The police commissioners have been
working overtime during the past four
or five weeks on the regulation of
traffic in the center of the city. and
when President Breidenbach arose to
compliment his colleagues OH their
share of the work everybody was
pleased. II do not think that the New
York city police have anything on
the Newark police in handling traffic, y
Mr.. Breidenbach declared, and every
body beemed.
THE police commissioners have
been very busy during the past Ave

Acting Chief Brown requested that
two motorcycle policemen be detailed
to patrol Springfield avenue from the
Court House to the city line between
5 p. m. and midnight to regulate the
tltney traffic there. The Jitney traffic

GENERAL WOOD
UNDER F|REF FOR
IRIS SPEECH
Washington Likely to Ask Ex-
planation of Attack on Will
son at PIattsburg.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-General
by the war department, it was
learned today, to explain why he in
vited Theodore Roosevelt to the
Plattsburg military camp and per-
mitted him to make a speech there
considered as practically q oondem-
nation of President wilson's foreign
policy.
Secretary Garrison said he was mot
prepared to discuss the question
yet.
At the opening of the Plattsburg
camp Wood himself was quoted In
the newspapers as making a speech
which, department officials said, vio-
lated the regulations against discuss
ing by army officers of such ques-
tions in public. Later, however, he
telephoned to Secretary Garrison al
Sea Girt, N. j., repudiating many of
the newspaper quotations.
The Roosevelt speech at Plattsburg,
however, was regarded as having laid
a new and graver charge at Woods
uObT. lut NltWf hlOhitidlly
expressed, was that the general
seemed openly to have detied the
presidents orders when he made bis
own speech, and had then added to IL
by inviting Colonel Roosevelt, a pri-
vate civilian, to the camp.
Officials confidently intimated that
they thought the president would
hardly allow the action TO pass with
out an investigation. and it was prob
able, they said, that Wood would be
called to Washington to explain.

BACK WILSON
ONLY IF RIGHT,
COLONEL SAYS

PLATTsRuRG N. Y, Aug. 26.-
Shortly before leaving here for New
York last night Colonel Roosevelt
made the following statement:
II wish to make one comment on
the statement so frequently made
that we must stand by the Presi-
dent | heartily subscribe to this on
condition, and only on condition, that
1t is followed by the statement so
country.
Country Before President.
1T is defensible to state that we
stand by the country right or wrong.
1t Is indefensible for any freeman
in a free republic to state that he
will stand by any official, right or
wrong, or by any ex-official
Even as regards the country,
while ! believe that once war is on,
every citizen should stand by the
land, yet, in any crisis which may or
may not lead to war, the prime duty
of the citizen is. by criticism and ad-
vice even against what he may know
to be the majority opinion of his fell
low citizens, to insist that the nation
take the right course of action.
There is even a stronger reason
for demanding of every loyal citizen
that after the President has been
given ample time to act rightly and
has either not acted at all or has
acted wrongly, that he shall be made
to feel that the citizens whom he has
been elected to serve demand that he
be loyal to the honor and to the in
terests Of the land
THE President has the right to have
said of him nothing but what Is true;
ne should have sufficient time to make
his policy clear. But as regards sup
porting him in all public policy, and
above all in international policy, the
right of any President is only to de-
mand public support because he does
we'll because he serves the public
well and not merely because he is
President.
Peace Above righteousness.
Presidents differ, just like other
folks. No man could effectively stand
by President Lincoln unless he had
stood against President Buchanan. II,
after the firing on Sumter, President
Lincoln had in a public speech said
that the believers In the Union were
too proud 10 fight. and II, instead of
acting, there had been three months

STRIKES SPREAD
IN BRIDGEPORT:
RIOTS FEARED
Police Have Hands Full-Four
Arrests Made After One
Clash.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Aug. &c.
Bridgeport was strike bound today.
More than eight thousand workers,
embracing employees in department
stores, laundries, barber shops, corset
factories and plants manufacturing
war munitions were out, and the
police had their hands full trying to
prevent riots. Practically all the
workers are striking for an eight
hour day and increased wages.
-Four arrests have been made so far.
Strikers and police cashed at the
foundry of the Crane Valve Company
and four arrests were made. Five
hundred strikers followed the patrol
wagon, throwing bricks and stones
and hooting. Employers attribute the
strike frenzy to too much prosperity
on the part of the workers. The
balance of power, they say, was sud-
denly thrown into the hands of work
ers when millions of dollars worth
of war orders began pouring in, and
union leaders have decided to make
Bridgeport, which has always been
an open shop city, union strong

Labor is at premium here. 1t was
reported but unconfrmed, that
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation Of Labor, was

MILITARY DRILL
FOR SCHOLARS
WINS APPROVAL
Board of Education Committee
Wants DetaiIs-Seven-Period
System Unchanged.

Military training for public school
children was proposed by Commits
sioner Charles P. Taylor at meet
ing of the Board of Education COM
mittee on instruction and educational
supplies last night. The plan met
with the immediate and unanimous
approval of the committee, which
voted to instruct the superintendent
to report how the plan could be pui
into effect here
Another important move made by
the committee was the decision to in
vestigate means of supplying clothing
for children who are unable to attend
school for lack of wearing apparel.
This action was taken on the motion
of Commissioner Frank III. Sommer
The committee also adopted the
recommendation of Acting Superin-
tendent of Schools David B. Corson
that the seven-p period teaching sys-
tenn at East Side High School be left
in vogue until the addition to the
school building is completed.
Commissioner Sommer was also re-
sponsible for the move to eliminate
thevarious high school periodicals and
substitute one representative school
magazine. in which all schools will
have voice as to management
Military Training.
The plan of military training for
school children came as surprise,
as the commissioners had not been
known TO discuss IL at any previous
meeting. Commissioner Taylor start
ed the ball rolling with the following
motion:
II move that the superintendent be
instructed to report on the feasibility
of inaugurating O system of military
training for our pupils. The tsuperin-
tendent should investigate the meth
DDS used In State and national mill
tary schools and make study of
similar work being done in other
cities.

tend to steady our boys and girls, es-
pecially the boys, to such an extent
that 1t would prove invaluable. ] am
