DECLARES MAN EXECUTED
 WAS NOT A GERMAN SPY Colonel Miassoyedoff, Interpreter of
 Tenth Russian Army.

Berlin. Oct 2S (By wireless to Tuck erton, N. J.)-Denial that Lieutenant Colonel Miassoyedoff, an interpreter on the staff of the Russian Tenth army, who some time ago was hanged as a German spy, was ever in fact a spy for the Germans as charged, is made by the official Nord Deutsche Allge- incline Zeitung.
 The newspaper, as quoted by the Overseas News agency, refers to a new discussion regarding the case re- gently opened in the English and French press and asserts that Lieu tenant Colonel Miassoyedoff was in nocent if he really was sentenced for spying in the German service, since neither he nor those associated with him ever gave information to Ger many or Austria Hungary
 The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zei- tung adds that it would have been use- less to make any declaration of this nature before the execution of the ac- cuSed.

DOG IN SCHOOL

Animal lnvades Classroom of
Parochial Institution at
East Orange.

Following Francis cahili. of Il Hay
ward avenue to the Holy Name Paro-
chial School at 1876 North Park street.
East Orange, this morning. a stray
dog slipped through the doorway after
him and entered sixth grade class
room. In response to orders from the
teacher to put the dog out. young
Cahill kicked at it. ResentiHg this,
the animal turned on the boy and se-
verely bit him several times on the
leg.

nue.. started to the assistance Of his
schoolmate, and ins ineaaveTine 70
dfive the animal away. was badly
bitten on the hand.
The Sfrenzied screams of the two
boys threw the entire institution,
witch has an enrolment OF almost
500, into a state OF turmoil, and terror
reigned tor several minutes until
Traffic Patrolnan Philip Zink was
summoned by one of the instructors
and tore the animal away from
Cahili, into which it had imbedded
its teeth, The boys shoe was torn
from him
The officer with difficulty managed
to separate the dog from his victim
and then dragged 1t to the school
yard, where he shot it. The head OF
the animal was severed and taken
by the East Orange health depart
ment, for examination for symptoms
Of rabies. 1t is not thought that the
animal was aff1icted with the maiady
as it has been playmate OF pupils
at the school for some time past.
Ariiss sustained only the one bite
on the hand. but Cahill was very
seriously bitten. His leg was lacer-
ated from the knee down and he is
also suffering from the mental strain.

MAYOR FINALLY
G|VESSTOWALL
HIS ORDERS
Designates Public Welfare Man
Personal Representative" to
Jack Up Health Board.

Mayor Thomas L. Raymond an
nounced today that Edward A. Stow
all would be his personal representa-
tive and would begin tomorrow an
Investigation and survey of the health
department. The mayor explained
that he has been contemplating for
some time such a plan and that he is
desirous of securing information as to
the conduct Of the various city de-
partments.
Does this mean that Mr.. Stowall
will investigate other city depart
ments as well?' the mayor was asked.
Il have not decided as yet If the
investigation of the health department
Is satisfactory and the information
is valuable / may have Mr.. Stowall
as my personal representative look
into other city departments. The
health department has not been
looked into in a number of years.
This, however. is not being done in
an effort TO disorganize any city de-
partment, but TO secure constructive
criticism which viii help me to de-
termine whether any change shall be
made"
In referring to Mr.. Stowall as his
personal representative" the mayor
explained that he did not desire to
have the Public Welfare Committee
take part, inasmuch as some of the
members did not reside in the city
of Newark. "They have consented to
let me have Mr.. Stowall for the pur-
pose of securing some personal in
formation which / desire. In this
way the Public Welfare Committee
is not concerned, and 1t Is strictly a
confidential matter. / have selected
the Board of Health and directed Mr..
Stowall to begin work as soon as he
desires as an experiment to ascertain
whether such an investigation will be
helpful to other departments" said
the mayor.
From day to day Mr.. Stowall will
report directly to the mayor his find
ings, and at the conclusion of his IN
vestigation will no doubt make some
recommendation
If Mr. Stovail finds that there are
needless positions or that two men
are holding a place that can be hlieo
by one, then those positions should
be abolished. II employees are entitled
to more help then they shall be given
assistance. It Is not my desire tc
pick apart for the purpose of criticism
any city department, but simply with
! a view to securing first hand infor-
nation concerning the manner II
which they are conducted, continued
the mayor.

Poorbox at PatrOlman

Obstinately. refusing to give her
name or address. a fourteen-year
girl, who was arrested last night by
Patrolman William Kenney. on a
charge of lettering IN East Side Park,
threatened Lieutenant William J..
Walzer, of the Third precinct, as she
was about to be slated.
THE g..l had accompanied PATROL
man Kenney to the station house
without a protest, but when she was
asked her name she became indig-
nant and attempted to hurl poor
box at him. She was prevented in
doing so by another officer. Re-
peated efforts and threats were made
to have the girl reveal her identity,
but each time she emphatically re-
fused. She was later taken to the
House of Detention.
Lieutenant Waller said that COM
plants had been made by neighbors
concerning the girl. who appears to
have no homo. According to the lieu-
tenant, the girl has been seen late
at night in the park and she sleeps
IN alleys or Railways wherever she
can find a convenient place without
fear of molestation.
