SCULLY HAS NOT
MADE HIS PLANS
Nothing Definite Given Out by
Congressman in Interview

Congressman Thomas ]. Scully
when questioned last night as to the
report that he would be a candidate
for reelection in the primaries, said
that he had not as yet decided. He
was reminded that both Mayor Frank
Dorsey of this city and also Sheriff
Elmer H. Geran of Monmouth coun-
ty had been spoken of as running for
the nomination and the congressman
said, that is what the primaries are
for"
Although there seem to be many
Republicans Of good standing out for
the office the Democrats are more or
less in a quandary as to who the
candidates in the primaries will be.
Both Mayor Dorsey and Sheriff
Geran have been spoken of, but to
date neither has come out "fat-foot-
ed for the nomination. There are
some who think that the possible
candidates are waiting for a move on
the part Of Congressman Scully. AL
though 1t has baen said that the
present congressman will not be a
candidate again, it has been learned
from rumors supposed to have orig
mated In some of the congressman s
strongholds that he will run for re-
election.

conference with party leaders tomor-
row will probably determine whether
the national assembly will be called
to consider the extradition situation.
Persons well informed denied the
existence of q. governmental crisis
and the Prussian government had
unanimously endorsed the national
cabinet attitude, which Is unaltered.
This may be regarded as a symptom
of the spirit which the entente de-
mands are being met. All prominent
edict.
A member of the government Is
quoted by the press as saying:
"The government is still endeavor-
Ing to find a way out by further ne
gotiations"
It is believed the government will
attempt to obtain a modification of
the peace treaty respecting the ac-
cused Germans demanded for extra
dition. If It is successful 1t will, so to
speak, fold its arms and let events
take their own course, according to
prevailing opinion.
Already 1t is reported the German
airmen- detailed to accompany the en-
tente commission of control have re-
fused to perform their duty A scru-
tiny of the extradition list shows that
Belgium and France have demanded
the surrender of all German generals
who commanded on the west front In
1914, except General Won Heeringen.
Why the grand duke of Hesse Is list
ed, is a mystery, says the Tageblatte,

Of Education Last Night
SCHOOL BUDGET OF S315,86O
Grade Teachers Ask for In
crease In Bonus From $40
to $25 Monthly
SCHOOL BUDGET OF S315,86O

A discussion of the budget for
1920, the accepting of designations Of
two teachers, the hearing of two
representatives of the teachers and
schools closed today, was the pr1nci-
pal business transacted last night at
the regular meeting of the Board OF
Education.
The 1920 budget shows an increase
of $115,00 over last year. The total
amount needed to run the schools is
$42S,860. Last year the money re-
ceived from the state was $113, 900
and the board expects like amount
this year. This means that the city
must raise for school purposes $315,-
SEQ. The increase in the budget is
principally due to the increase in
salaries.
The designations of Miss Emily b.
Greene and Miss Elsie Groh were re-
ceived by the board and accepted.
The teachers committee was pres
ent and presented the board with a
salary schedule which the board took
under consideration.
A communication was received
from the high school teachers thank
ing the board for the bonus Of $40
per month given them for the bal
ance Of the year.
Joseph F. Walker, representing the
grade teachers, asked that bonus Of
teachers be Increased from $40 to S25
per month. Following Mr.. Walkers
plea for the increased bonus the
board instructed the secretary to
write the Teachers Association that
by unanimous vote the Board Of
School Estimate voted to fix the
amount of the teachers bonus at $40
and that 1t is impossible to change it.
Paul Steel, representing the men
principals, was present and thanked
the board and said the principals
were much pleased with the salary
as suggested in the salary schedule
of the board.
Due to the condition of the streets
from the snow and the fact that
thirty teachers are absent through
illness the board moved to close down
the schools for today.

OLD DOMINION
SHIP AGROUND
Princess Anne With 1O4 or
Board Ashore OF Long Island
BIZ The A ssocintcd Pres.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-The steam
ship Princess Anne, of the Old Do
minion Line, carrying thirty-two pas
sengers and a crew Of seventy-tWo of
Norfolk, Va, TO New York, ran
aground one mile off the coast of
Rockaway coast at Long Island in a
heavy storm today and sent out S. o..
transport headquarters at Hoboken,
wrecking tugs and a police patrol
boat went to the vessels aid.
Wireless reports said Captain Seay,
of the Princess Anne had been ser
iously injured but no details were
given. The vessels position was con-
sidered serious on account of the gale
that has lashed the coast for the last
two days, A stiff northerly wind and
biting wind added discomfort to the
situation.
Members of the coast guard at
Rockaway Beach endeavored to
launch boat to go to the vessels aid,
but gave up the task when giant roll
lers nearly battered the craft to pieces.
The first s. O. s. message was re-
ceived at the office of naval communi-
cations here at 2.s0 o'clock this
morning. It stated the boat was off
of Roamer Shoals and needed i'm.
mediate assistance. Messages kept
coming every five minutes until 4
o'clock.
In response to these messages two
tugs started for Roamer Shoals. Later
m esssageS showed that the position OF
the steamer was incorrectly stated
and that the boat was ashore on the
Long Island coast off Ambrose Light.
The two tugs headed for Roamer
Shoals received word of her correct
position and started for her assitance.
Several others also answered the dis
tress calls.
The coast guard station at Rock.
away reported today that lights could
be seen on the Princess Anne. which
was apparently facing a heavy wind
and driving rain.
Advices from the stranded ship
sent through coast guard observers
shortly after 10 o'clock were that the
hull was badly strained through the
pounding of the surf and that No. 3
mold was full of water, but there was
no water in holds one or two.
The sea was running high with a
northeast swell and call has been sent
to the coast guard to send all avail
able assistance. Waves twenty to
twenty-five feet high were washing
over Rockaway Beach. and 1T was
considered extremely likely that a
transfer of passengers would not be
attempted unless it was absolutely
necessary.
The keeper of the Rockaway station
reported that he had loaded his surf
boat on a larger vessel and would put
out around Rockaway Point to deep
water, where the life boat would be
launched to approach the ship from
the off-shore side The passengers on
| the boat were reported in no imme-
date danger and it was said they
were comfortable.
Two navy tugs and coast guard
cutter are standing by the ship and
other vessels could be seen to be ap-
preaching her.
Late reports from the stranded
ship were that she was taking water
rapidly and the latest messages ask
that the passengers be taken off be-
fore night.
The Coast Guard Cutter and the
Navy boat are still standing by and
a surf boat.
