Much Dissatisfaction Felt and
Fault Found With Recent
School Election.
VOTERS FEEL "TRICKED"
Claim That Mrs. Boynton, the
Only Woman Candidate,
Was Not Given Fair Chance
BY Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent
WOODBRIDGE, Fep. 10:-Con-
siderable dissatisfaction is felt and
much fault is being found by resi-
dents throughout the township Of
Woodbridge on the manner in which
the school election was conducted
Tuesday night. 1t is the general
impression that the three men can
didates ''tricked" the voters and did
not give the woman candidate, Mrs.
Bertha Fl. Boynton, fair chance in
the election. 1t Is also charged that
the voters were not given enough
consideration or instructed as to the
mode of procedure.
The fact that 7s9 votes were cast
in one hour, in one room-the only
polling place-speaks for itself, the
dissatisfied voters declare, in show
ing what large number were
crowded into the room and the
manner in which they were hurried.
AS there was only one polling place
and but an hour was allowed the
residents in which to vote a long
line formed outside the building.
Many of the more elderly persons.
who were entitled to a vote but
could not stand in line for such a
lone period, went to their homes
without casting a vote.
The instructions were given to the
voters when the doors opened. but
there were only a few of the 700
voters able to push their way into
the school room to hear these in
tructions. AS a result many of the
voters were not aware of the fact
that there were two ballot boxes.
one for the appropriation vote and
the other for the school commits
sioners ballot, and therefore drop
ped the wrong ballots in the wrong
boxes.
The ballots which were distrib-
uted by the supporters of the three
men candidates. did not contain the
name of the-woman candidate and
these ballots were thrust upon ev-
eryone that entered. Mrs. Boynton
had some ballots bearing only her
name, but these were not to be
found in such numbers as the ma
chine" candidate tickets. In fact
many had considerable trouble in
locating a ballot containing the
name of Mrs. Boynton.
No booths were supplied in
which a voter could go to vote his
ballot. If he desired to vote for Mrs.
line through the name of the men
he or she did not care to vote for
and write in the name of Mrs.
Boynton. This had to be done in
the open on the table with officials
and others standing around watch
ing, it is claimed.
Some of the voters. not seeing
Mrs. Boynton's name on the ballot.
did not write in Mrs. Boynton's
name. they explained. because they
were afraid the vote would be dis
qualified as a marked ballot. No
place was contained on the ballot
for a choice other than the three
candidates.
When the buses came in from
Hopelawn and Keasbey with voters
they were literally supplied with
machine" ballots. These methods
resulted in considerable discussion
and ii is now likely that steps VIII
be taken to see what can be done to
remedy this method of conducting
school elections in the future.

RAILROAD
WAGE REQUEST
Federal Board Turns Down
Request of Executives for
Abrogation of Agreement.
ON SKILL LABOR PAY
Decision is Reached Before
Statement Made by Presi-
dent Jewell Was Started.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-The Federal
Railroad Labor Board denied the
request of the American Association
of Railway executive for immediate
abrogation of the national wage
agreement with the brotherhood
and establishment of new skilled
labor predicated on local condition.
The decision came before b. NJ.
Jewels, president of the railroad
employees department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor had start
ed his reply 10 the statement made
for the railway executives last
week by w. w. Atterbury of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
1t was totally unexpected but Mr..
Jewels made his statement never
theless.
The board held that it had no
jurisdiction over expenses of opera
Ion, and suggested that ne ther the
roads or the union interrupt on stan
dard rules, with further unwarrant-
ed demands,
Mr.. Jewells statement charged
that the request for Immediate abro-
cation of the working agreement
was part of conspiracy to disrupt
unionism.
Conspiracy on the part of Ameri-
can railroad executives and finances
&c destroy the organization of rail-
read workers and re-essablish auto
cratic financial control of the trans
portation industry. was charged here
ts'day by President Jewels. MIR.
Jewels also charged the railroad ex-
ecutives with framing UP of evidence

HARDING BACK
At HIS DESK
Has Office in Hotel for Con-
Sideration of Problems Be-
fore His Inauguration.

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla, Feb. 10
Back at work today after a three
weeks vacation, President-el
Harding waded into a vast accumu-
lation of correspondence and other
miscellaneous business which must
be cleared away before he can give
serious thought to the personnel OF
his cabinet and other major prob
lens. Mr.. Harding returned to st.
Augustine last night from house
boat cruise along the Florida coast
and established Offices in a hotel
which will be his home until he
leaves for Washington to be inau-
gurated.
While cruising he also kept as far
away from his problems, as pos
sible. and it may be said authorita-
lively that the most important de-
cisions of the coming administra-
ton including the personnel of the
cabinet are but little nearer con-
summation than they were three
weeks ago.
Definite selections are vet to be
made for virtually all the ten cab
met positions.
The cabinet appointments which
Mr.. Harding's close friends believe

Charles Evans Hughes, of New York
for secretary of state; Harry NJ.
Daugherty. of Ohio. for attorney
general: VIII II. HAYS. of Indiana,
for postmaster general, and Henry
Wallace. of Iowa. for secretary of
agriculture, are selections which
those in position to know now regard
as virtually certain.
1t is certain that Mr.. Harding will
take no definite steps until he had
held further conferences with his
advisers. II is unlikely that any ap-
pointments will be announced until
day or two before the inaugura-

BY Special Correspondent.
ROOSEVELT. FEB. 10.-From
letters left by Stephen Van Ness Of
Roosevelt. who committed ruicsde
Tuesday night by shooting himself
with a As -calibre Cot revolver in an
automobile near Warren and High
street. Newark. dying shortly after
the shot was fired. in the New City
hospital. it is learned that Van Ness
planned his rash action mainly
through fear OF going to jail on the
charge made by his wife. Mrs. Vic
toria Van Ness. of assault and bat
terry, ami on which charge he was
to have been tried in the county
court yesterday.
In a letter to his wife Van Ness
goes into details concerning his past
life and wrote: when you are try
ing to send me to Jail would rather
take the law in my own hands at any
time. so therefore, l feel conf1dent
that God will forgive me for what
am ABOUT to do"
In another letter ne left directions
to friend of his as to how the tCdy
should be taken care of. These 1T
ters and especially the one % Ais
wife. 8 held by Van Ness friends
to prove that he was insane when
he fred the shot. and to dispel all
rumors that he intended to kill lis
wife at the same time he did away
with his own life. for which rea-
son he tried to find her in Newark.
The letter to Mrs. Van Ness fol-
ows:
MY dear wife and two beloved
children:
II prayed to God to forgive me for
what | am about to do and / hope
that you all will do the same.
after considering the actions that
you have taken against me from
time to time it would be useless for
me to follow my professional occu-
patton. You have threatened that
you would ruin my political career
which you have succeeded partly by
having me handled like a ruffian il
Judge Boetner's Office by Lieutenant
! Biegs and the Hitchcock brothers
and shoven into Jail like a crimina
and then transferred over to New
Brunswick among horse thieves an,
| hoidups for which / forgave YOU bu

ing to do the same just because
