Big Surprise at sayrcyillc

BY Special Correspondent.
SAYREVILLE. Feb. "a sur
prise was given the people of this
place last night as a result of the
school election. and the opposition
ticket succeeded in electing two of
their candidates to the board. The
election was held in school No. /,
and the largest crowd of voters
that have ever attended a school
election were on hand to cast their
ballot in the close contest.
Edwin Cordes, who nominated
the opposition ticket, is response
BILE for the success of the ticket sup
ported by him.. 1t is the opinion
of the people of this place that he
deserves credit for the name in
which he worked to elect his cam
didates, as it was generally thought
that the old members would be re-
elected. However. Cordes worked
quietly and it was not known of his
efforts till after his ticket won the
honors of having two men elected to
the school board.
Walter Riddle, representing the
| Board of Education ticket, was re-
elected by a vote of 1913. Earl Van
elected by 1873 ballots. and DIR.
Howard Ferhmann also of the OPP
position ticket was chosen to serve
on the board by a vote of 141.
There was no contest to put q
woman on the school board in this
place. as both tickets contained
three men candidates. 1t was ex-
pected, however. that the old board
would be elected with ease. c. f.
Farrow was the defeated opposi-
ton candidate, while Lemuel Dis
brow and Charles Elf were the de-
feated candidates or the Board of
Education ticket. The election was
close throughout and it was not
known till a late hour who were
elected, and 263 voters took part
in the election.

CAPITAL TRACTION MAY
RUN TO KENSINGTON
Movement to Extend Line Given
Impetus by Com
mittee.

ROCKVILLE. Md. January % (Spe-
ciaD.-The movement for the exten-
sion of the Capital Traction electric
line from Chevy Chase Lake. its pres
ent terminus in this county, to Ken
sington and. possibly, beyond. has, in
the opinion Of those most interested,
assumed such shape as to make it a
probability of the near future. The
movement had its inception among
residents of Kensington and vicinity,
who have long felt the need of better
electric railway facilities and who
are understood to realize that their
only hope is in the Capital Traction
Company.
1t is understood that it will be pro-
posed to the company that the own
ers of property along the route of the
proposed extension will donate the
rights Of way and pay the expense of
grading and laying the ties as far as
Kensington II the company will fur
nish the funds for the remainder of
the material and work. It is estimated
that 1t will cost about $4,000 to do
the grading and lay the ties.
With this idea in view. a citizen1'
meeting was held at Kensington re-
Gently. when Mayor w. w. Skinner.
DIR. Eugene Jones. George II. snyder.
Maj. Adelno Gibson and Ralph H.
Chappell were named committee to
solicit subscriptions. This committee
has, it is understood. obtained sub
scriptions aggregating about $4,000.
and members Of the committee ex-
press themselves as confident that the
remainder Of the $4,000 will be forth
coming just as soon as the owners of
properlv benefited realize that the
extension is dependent on the full
amount being raised.

BUSINESS SHOCK OVER.
Adjusts to Demand,
Says A. w. Douglas.

While the general business situation
has changed little during the last
month, there are indications that the
first shock of business depression is
over, says Archer Wall Douglas.
chairman of the committee on statis-
tics and standards of the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States, in his
monthly report on business condi-
tions, made public today.
Automatically everywhere produc-
tion is adjusting itself to demand"
said Mr.. Douglas This phase has
finally reached the iron and steel in
dustry, and is general throughout in
dustrial life. Textile mills got theirs
first, and consequently. because of
lower costs Of production, seem far
thest advanced on the road to read
tustment. At this writing more OF
them are resuming than shutting
down. Automatically the situation is
tending to a more normal relation be
tween supply and demand, which
means the solution Of many Of our
problems"

MAN WHO JUMPED TEN
STORIES HAD BEEN ILL
Family Protested Against William
n. Coleman's Journey to
Washington.


William Magruder Coleman, New
York business man. who jumped from
a tenth story window Of the Powhatan
Hotel yesterday afternoon, and was in

F. H. Sellick, controller Of the Hud-

Mr.. Coleman was general counsel, ac-
companied him to transact business with
the United States Railroad Adfninistra-
tion. Their business completed, the two
men yesterday morning took stroll, and
on their return Mr.. Sellick suggested
that they lunch together.
Mr.. Coleman said he was not feeling
well and declined the invitation He
went to his room in the hotel. and Sell
upon to identify his body on the side
walk on the Pennsylvania avenue front
Of the Powhatan Hotel.
An examination Of the body by Cor
oner hewitt showed that Coleman had

broken and the jolt was severe enough
to fracture the skull. The body was
badly cut and bruised. A certificate Of
suicide was given.
The will left by Mr. Coleman in his
hotel room. reads: II hereby assign and
transfer and set over unto my wife. Lii
liam w. Coleman. all the property real,
personal and mixed. of which am now

ture.
Mr. Coleman. a native Of Brookville

RETIREMENT PAPERS TOO
BRIEF, SAY U. S. EMPLOYEES
Think Some Complimentary Re-
marks Would Be Advisable.
To Write Cabinet.

Too formal notices to civil service
employees about to be retired was the
subject Of complaint at meeting Of
the joint Conference on retirement at
1928 New York avenue last night.
In a letter which the executive COM
mittee was authorized to send to
members Of the cabinet, and to the
members of the next cabinet, the con-
ference will point out that the pres
ent form notices used by the pension
bureau are unnecessarily formal.
Retired employees would like to have
the notices a little softened from
strictly legal terms. and would pre-
fer a dash of compliment with their
papers, IT developed. The employee
views as to alleged forbidding Of re-
quests for continuance in the service
will be contained also in the letter to
the cabinet.
OF the 4.7s1 retired throughout the
country. seventy-one were drawing
only $3.50 year from the govern
ment. thirty-four $348 and six $347.92.
Many retired employees are getting an
annuity of but 315 month. accord
ing to a statement by J. w. Starr, re-
tired employe Of the War Depart
ment and president emeritus of the
United States Civil Service Retirement
Association.
Hts plea for increased annuities will
be backed up by the conference, it
was decided.

Realism

When I have filled my foun-
tain pen and found some fools
cap blue, I'll write tale of tire
some men, and tiresome women,
too. I'll chronicle their tiresome
deeds,' the tiresome things they
say; twill be so dull the sport
who reads will throw the book
away. Some little ten-cent
human soul I'll analyze with
glee, and hoist it on a twelve
foot pole; so all the world may
see. And dead game sports who
read my book will rend their
boards and wall, "Oh, let the
public hangman cook so punk
and fierce a tale!" But book
reviewers, bulging-browed, will
praise it, line by line I; they'll say,
Zone book above the crowd
stands forth, sublime and fine.
The tale begins where it should
end, and ends where it should
start; no heroes through its
pages wend, no villains grieve
the heart; it has no action and
no plot, no motive can be found ;
and yet the volume hits the spot,
its technique is so sound. This
is no tale of blood and bones, but
one in which we find the soul of
