. In practically every class room this morning reference to Brad1ey's un- timely death was made by the teach CTS; Expressions of regret and res oiutions of sorrow were framed in all class rooms and sent to the grieving parents of the dead boy
 Two High school girl students fainted yesterday after the news of the death of the boy was carried to them One was resuscitated shortly after and proceeded with her class work.
 Girl Pupils Faint.
 The other girl, Rose Mapleton of 332 Lenox Ave, a sophomore at the High school appeared in class yes terday afternoon and upon her dis missa1 from school purchased an evening paper from a passing news boy. As she walked her way to get her car she scanned the paper and arriving in front of the Western Union office on Fairfield avenue, flinted.
 The Emergency ambulance with Dr. E. J. Susslin in charge responded to a hurry call and removed the girl to the emergency hospital where she also was resusicated. She was allow ed to proceed to her home later and was again present at her school ses- sions this morning.
 James c. Moore, principal and teachers in whose class young Brad ley was a pupil like his parents are unable to advance any reason for his rash act.
 Was Good Student.
 All spoke of him as a perfect gem t1eman," considered normal in every respect and one to whom the thought of suicide would be considered fur thest from his mind. In speaking of him this morning Madam Hawes, his French professor, stated: '<It is be- yond me. l can't think of 8 reason in the world why such a healthy boy should consider such a grim act for 6 moment. He was well up in his stud- a matter the brightest pupils in my class. do not think that there is a girl in the case at all, He was not the type. He took very little part in the social life of the school, in fact I never re- m ern Der seeing him at a dance at the school. He was generally considered to whom l have spoken no reference of girl was made to me, When I questioned them concerning it they ridiculed the idea. I think it was just case of an immature boy succumb- ing to the miserable side of life"
 Principal Moore also stated that he was not of the opinion that a girl was concerned in the case.
 q think the quotations which were the last words he had written were nothing more than an afterthough P he said +'I do not think he referred to a sweetheart at all. but in his morose state the words appealed to him and he decided to add them.s
 The boy friends to whom he re- terreo Tn the note, William Bingham and Mason Crawford, also were in terv1ewed but could throw no light on the boys death.
 "We were out bicycle riding the night before," both boys stated, land at that time he gave no in6lfne that he intended to commit such rash act. It sure Is a shock to us"
 The funeral of the boy will be held tomorrow afternoon from his late home at 2 o'clock The Rev. R. T. Carlson of the Newffeld NJ E. church, will oficiate. Burial will be in LAakeyfew cemetery Mem bers of his class are expected to ba selected as pallbearers

CT m6tnOOS WILL De used.
 Stenographers and clerks at
 City Hall were all agog today
 when the fact became known
 that they would be required to
 give a good part of their salary
 to the campaign funds of the
 Democrats. Many of them ex-
 pressed themselves in no uncer-
 tain terms that they would re-
 fuse to give to the campaign fund
 if the methods that have been
 adopted are put into force.
 Stenographers Included.
 In the city clerks office there are three stenographers who will be re- quired to give a total of $l26- MISS Jane Anderson. it was learned mas been approached and was told tnat cent of $1.200, her yearly salary. Miss Mary A. Marron, chief clerk in the office, gets a yearly salary Of s1,soo, and she has been requested to bard receives a yearly salary 70. of s1,2O0. She must give $36 to the Dem ocratic ticket.
 James A. Whalen. assistant city ed for his three per cent. said. Last year gave SEQ to the campaign fund. I'll give my three per cent" But h1s attitude is directly opposite to the attitude of the stenographers who de- clare that they will not contribute to the campaign fund under the present system They expressed willingness however, to give in liberal sums but refuse to bow to extort1oD methods.
 Will c. O. P. Come Across?
 The question that was asked today by many of the girl clerks was. will the Republican office holders give their three per cent. and will they De required to give that portion of thelr @ nor fic Dai2n funds
 1t was pointed out that James A. McE1roy. city engineer, is Repu oiia can and is drawing salary or $e'ooo the question asked today. His quota would be s15O. Many other cases of Republican officeholders werebrough'
 That the party has adopted the slogan of three per cent" is fact that is without dispute and leaders make no secret of it. George Flynn, executive board member, declared to- day that he had no knowledge Of the executive committee passing any such requirements of office holders. Nc such action was discussed Monday night at the executive board meeting, he said. Two outside collectors were appointed to collect funds outside Of city hall.''
 Russell Neary and Frank Finn, out side tax collectors, connected with the tax collectors office, are the men who collect the funds about city hall and who hand the receipts to the gen erous givers" They were appointed, it is said. because they receive no comm ission.
 It was pointed out today that one thing which made the Democratic party distinct from the Republican was that the Democrats never used methods that bordered on extortior to swell their campaign funds. When
 
 Police and Bremen, it is said, were forced to give certain percentage Of their salary to swell the funds of the c. O. P. chest. -t was never believed that the Democi ats would stoop te Republican methods.
 A concerted movement was started today among Democrats who deplore the steam roller methods to stop the plan before it gets under operation and before any money is collected under the pressure scheme.
