NAT!ONALISTS
DROP FIGHT ON
CONSCR|PT|ON
Redmond Announces Party Has
Ended Opposition-Labor
Leader Is HeckIed.
RN The Assoclated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. II. 4:40 p. m.-John
f. Redmond, Parliamentary leader of
the Irish party, announced in the
House of Commons this afternoon
that the Nationalists would not fur
ther oppose the military service bill.
Augustine Birrell, chief secretary
for Ireland, revealed the fact that
there were 100000 unmarried men of
military age in Ireland who had not
attested. Deductions for various rea-
sons, he estimated, would leave 10000
available men.
The debate on the military service
bill was reopened by William Craw-
ford Anderson, labor member for the
Attercliffe division of Sheffield. who
moved the rejection of the measure,
but at the outset he was sharply
notified by Will Thorne, Social-Demo-
cratic member for the south division
of Westham and general secretary OF
the Gas Workers and General Labor
ers' Union, that he was not speaking
in the name of labor in this matter.
Mr.. Anderson was severely heckled
from all sides. He declared the mill
tary service bill would surely lend TO
a cry for universal conscription and
Industrial compulsion. He did not
wish to see strikes, but the govern
ment, he said, would meet with disas-
ter if it attempted to apply the prin-
ciple of compulsion.

MAYOR MAY NOT
APPROVE HEALTH
BOARD PAYROLL

It was reported today Mayor
Thomas l.. Raymond intends to hold
up the Board of Health poyroll be-
cause of the salary increase granted
DIR. Julius s. Levy, director of the
department of child hygiene.
In December the child hygiene COM
mittee of the Board of Health recon-
mended DR.. Levys salary be in
creased from $1.S0O TO $2,400, and the
board approved the increase last
Tuesday. The salary checks are due
January 10.
DR.. William S. Disbrow, president
of the Board of Health, declared to-
day he had heard nothing of the
mayors reported intention. Persons
familiar with the city health work
stated the repor did not surprise
them.
DR.. Elmer G. Wherry chairman of
the child hygiene committee, said he
believed DIR. Levy was earning his
salary, when asked about the report
today. He held, however, that the
mayor, as head of the city, had q
perfect right to take such action.
At the time the committee voted the
increase DR.. Wherry DR. Theodore
Theodore Teimer and DR.. Daniel L..
Mccormick concurred that it was de-
served. DIR. Levy has been at the
head of the department three years,
anI during that period the work has
increased enormously. The bureau
recently conducted an exhibit in the
Free Public Library, which showed it
had been instrumental in effecting a
great improvement in the infant
health conditions of the city, lessen
ing of the infant mortality rate and
other reforms.
DR.. Levy was paid 81 200 when he
undertook the office. This was later
increased to s1,800.

ROME, Jan. 11.-Pope Benedict
hopes to make his first practical step
toward peace this week
Cardinal Mercier. with Monsignor
Heylen, bishop of Namur, is expected
to arrive here from Belgium today or
tomorrow. They will be received in
audience by his holiness and are ex-
pected to tell him upon what terms
the people of Belgium will agree to
an early peace.
Pope Benedict has been convinced
from the beginning of the war that
the restoration of Belgium by Ger
many was an imperative preliminary
to any peace proposals. II Is under
stood in Vatican circles. He is said
to have made this fact known both
to Germany and the allies.
At the recent papal eonsistory, Car
dinal Hartmann, of Cologne. is re-
ported to have submitted to his holi-
ness the terms upon which Germany
will consent to evacuate Belgian ter
ritory. The pontiff's next step was
to arrange to learn the views of the
Belgians themselves, and Germany
readily consented TO n visit TO Rome
by the Belgian prelates.
Several members of the Belgian
relief committee from London already
are in Rome. It is understood that
their views will be solicited also by
the Vatican. Having learned Bel
GUMS terms. the pope plans to sub
nit them to Germany, hoping through
these negotiations TO begin the series
of compromises he suggested were
necessary for peace in his allocution
to the consstory.

SCHMIDT LOSES
LIQUOR LICENSE
Had Sought Transfer from
Olympic Park to Heidel-
berg Park.

Ruling that the liquor license of
Herman II. A. Schmidt, former pro-
prietor of Olympic Park, was sold by
his trustee in bankruptcy several
months ago, Judge William p. Mar
tin today refused to grant Schmidt's
application of the transfer of the
license to Heidelberg Park, South
Orange, where he intended to start
in business again. At the same time
the court granted transfer of
Schmidt's license to Christian Kurz,
the present owner of Olympic Park
and the claimant of the license under
the trustees sale.
Kurz was assigned the license by
the Home Brewing Company, the
purchaser of Schmidt's assets.
Schmidt claimed in seeking the trans
fer of the license that it was a per-
sonal privilege and could not be sold
by the trustee. KurZ contended that
it had a monetary value and was
therefore an asset and as such could
be sold and had been sold bv the trus-
tee. Alfred Van LEV. Testimony was
taken on the point and the court
today filed its decision in Kurz's
favor. .

BURGLARS FAIL
TO CRACK SAFE
OF B. 81. ASSN
Bore Holes, but Make Bunglipg
Job-Were After Last
Nights Payments.

Bungling burglars with poor equip
ment for their work made an unsuc-
cessfuI attempt to open a safe of the
Reliable Building and Loan Associa-
tion on the second floor of the build
ing at the junction of Orange and
Nesbit streets last night after the
monthly payments had been received.
They got nothing.
The work resembled in many re-
.spects the bungling job of the night
before in the butcher shop of Roth &.
Co.. at 45 Market street, where
twenty-nine one-inch holes were
bored in door panel to effect an en-
trance. The would-be burglars knew
their ground perfectly, as shown by
the manner i'm which they reached the
safe, but even then they drilled the
safe in which no money is kept.
The Reliable Building and Loan AS
sociation occupies the three rooms OH
the upper of the tWo-story bricl,
building at 261 Orange street. The
lower floor formerly was a motion
picture house, but now is the meet
ing house of negro religious organi-
zation known as "The Church of
God and Saints of Christ"
The burglars "jimmied' a side door
into the church, and then "jimmied'
another door leading from the church
into the hallway. from which a flight
of stairs led TO the upper floor. They
smashed open the door to the direc-
tors room at the head of the stairs,
in which were two safes. The larger
safe contained the papers of the as
sociation, and the smaller safe the
money.
They first bored an inch hole
through the six-inch door about in
the center of the door and then three
inches from this hole bored another
about one-quarter of an inch in diam
eter. After this an attempt ap-
parently had been made TO cut
through the space between the two
holes with a chisel. but the chisel
broke. Then another chisel was
broken in a vain attempt to cut out
another segment of the door. The
safe then was SCARED up some more
and the burglars withdrew, leaving
behind two drills and the fragments
of other tools.

ITS SHELTER NOT FOR
THE SUPERINTENDENTS
From a stan Correspondent.

TRENTON, Jan. 11.-City superin-
tendents of schools do not come under
the protection of the teachers tenure
of service act. This opinion was rem
dered by Assistant Commissioner of
Education John Enright today in
sustaining the action of the Bayonne
Board of Education in dismissing City
superintendent John w. Carr for cir
culating rumors of alleged graft
charges involving members of the
Bayonne Board of Education
The decision of the assistant COM
missioner is exceptional, in that it
holds that Carr did not act in any
way unbecoming a superintendent in
bringing the rumors of alleged mis-
doings to the attention OF his
superiors and al the same time stating
that the statute holds he is not en-
titled to reinstatement because his
dismissal was made by a majority
vote of the Board of Education.
Fees Were Divided, lie Says.
The history of the case against Carr
shows that the Bayonne board passed
resolutions for new schools for which
Estimate granted all requests for the
money. The firm of McI<im, Mead &;
White, of New York city, was en-
gagged for architectural work. One
week later the selection of the archi-
tects was rescinded, without any rea-
son from the board. Another firm of
architects was engaged.
Superintendent Carr was not salts
fed with this hasty and vacillating
course of action on the part of the
board in selecting an architect. The
Board of Education held a meeting
October % last and Carr told some
of the members that "a member of
the Board of Education had told him
that another member OF The board had
approached the first member and had
suggested to him that ii was the usual
thing that a portion of the architects
fees should be divided among mem
bers of the Board OF Education"
Carr suggested an investigation of
! the rumors, but no action was taken
| by the board. He appealed TO the
Board of Estimate be taken to rescind
the resolution passed by that body
appropriating $4,000 for school
buildings Carr appeared before the
Board of Estimate and explained
what he had heard.
Formal charges against Carr fol-
lowed. He was tried and found
guilty of interfering with the orderly
business methods of the Board of Ed
ucation. Seven of the nine members
of the board voted him guilty. He
was removed by a vote of 6 to g.

Austen II. McGregor was today ap-
pointed by Vice Chancellor Howell TO
be receiver for the leather manufac-
turing concern, j. H. Halsey e Smith,
Ltd, and his bond was fixed at
$25, 900.
The order appointing Mr.. Me-
Gregor was made at the request of
Francis Lafferty, solicitor for the

former Senator James Smith, jr.
The receivership grows out OF the
failure of Senator Smith in business
and the appointment of a receiver for
