SOUTH ORANGE CHILDREN
'STUFFING,' NOT STARVING
Mothers Pooh Pooh Findings of Board of Education
and the Riddles Laugh and Grow Fat
Playing in the Snow

Parents in South Orange. n. j.. did
not appear to be particularly perturbed
yesterday over the dire announcement
by the Board of Education that school
children were virtually being starved
through improper rationing and under
nourishment.
In the main the mothers seemed to re-
gard the dictum rather humorously. One
mother of four Cone of whom flaty de-
MED she was ''undernourished") said
that her smallest and most delicate
child was the brightest pupil and she
was not quite sure from her own expert
ence whether weight had a great deal
to do with education. 1T always used
to worry me-" she said. because my
children seemed so thin. but now / have
stopped weighing them and they are
getting along wonderfully.
Officers Of the Board of Estimate said
the tests made upon pupils in accordance
with a Government chart show that
many are not UP to normal weight and
height. and they think this has detri-
mental effect upon ability to acquire
knowledge. The results of the investi-
CATION in South Orange do not differ.
they say. from those obtained elsewhere
in similar tests.

Germs in Air, Extreme Care

A rise in influenza and pneumonia
cases reported yesterday by the Health
Department was accompanied by a
heavier death rate from the latter
disease than has occurred since the be-
ginning of the epidemic. DR.. Royal s.
Copeland, Commissioner of Health, said
he thought the increase in cases. how
ever. was due In great measure to re-
ports belated over the week end and

comment was:

tnued, "and every one should use ex-

James Cavanaugh of the steel firm of
Cavanaugh & Plucham was the only
witness yesterday in the John Doe pro-
ceeding before Chief Magistrate McAdoo
in Brooklyn to determine the cause of
the collapse of the American Theater,
the Bedford avenue motion picture
house in which seven workmen were
killed.
Benjamin T. HockI Assistant District
Attorney. devoted most Of his questions
to a perpendicular column which sup
ported a longitudinal truss, which in
turn supported four transverse trusses
1t is the perpendicular column which.
according to the District Attorney,

The steel footplate on which this col
umn was to rest was not large enough
to cover the columns base. so two
strips of steel were added. Then one
quarter inch wedges were driven be-
tween the steel plate and the concrete
foundation to strengthen the construc-
ton and prevent looseness. Judge Nc
Adoo asked:
Didn't you think the wedges would
make the concrete crumble?"
mo" replied Cavanaugh
"Well. / do" said Judge McAdoo. "1n
this instance the concrete was not prop
erly mixed" 1t was the first time the
concrete had been mentioned.
Cavanaugh said that when Joseph Gay
dica, who supplied the steel, warned
him that the column when placed in
position was out of plumb he forced 1t
into position with the aid of a power

EIGHT ARRESTED
AS TERRORIST BAND
Captured at Los Angeles After
Pistol Fight and Papers
Seized.

Eos ANGELES, Feb. o A terrorist
program of nationwide scope may be
revealed through the arrest here last
night Of eight alleged members OF
band of extortonists, it was SAID to-
night by Federal and other officers who
participated in the arrest.
Three men arrested recently in widely
separated cities are believed to nave had
in their possession unmistakable evl-
dence of afnliation with the men taken
into custody here, 1t was said
These three men were arrested In SAT-
Lake CITY. Des Moines and Cleveland,
officers said, and they further declared
clock bombs and duplicate written IN
str,lctions were found on all three.
The eight men caught here last night
were trapped by Federal agents, sherlffs,
deputies and private detectives after an
alleged attempt to extort $25,Oo0 from
prominent Los Angeles business man
under threats of death and after, 1t was
charged. they had obtained large sums
from other men through similar means.
A pistol fight was necessary before the
men were captured. Their papers were
seized.
1t was said at least twenty residents
of Los Angeles have received threaten
ing demands for money and have had
their homes under guard for a week.
Names of the men involved as we'll
as the names of the officers working on
the case are withheld by the authorities
for fear vengeance will be exacted by
friends of the men under arrest.
Efforts to arrest other alleged MEM
bers of the band here were continued
unsuccessfully to-day, officers failing to
find even a trace of ninth man they
believed they wounded last night.
It is said that the extortion phase OF
the alleged operations here. while on
large scale, was only side issue with
terrorism as the main objective.
Postal inspectors said to-day that for
two weeks they had been holding war;
rants charging use of the mails to de-
fraud for the men caught last night.

CAR LEAVES TRACKS;
TIES UP RAILROAD
Accident Delays Thousands of
Long Island Commuters.

Two trucks of the first car Of a Ja-
maica express train left the tracks en-
tering the Long Island Railroad station
at Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn. shortly
after o'clock last night, and a tieup
which lasted forty minutes and delayed
thousands of commuters resulted.
The head car was crossing n switch
point when the wheels of the forward
truck left the rails. plowed along the
tracks short distance and halted. The
train was near the platform. and pas
sengers were permitted to leave. In
order to get the trucks back on the
rails and make necessary repairs the
power was shut off from 5 40 until :01.
During that time no trains ran in or
out of the station.
Several inbound trains were in the
Nostrand avenue tunnel and were held
UP there when the power was thrown
off.
The platforms in the station were
jammed. The first train left at 6 sos.
and others departed at intervals OF
twelve minutes or longer. Not until s
o'clock was normal traffic restored.

All these letetrs are being studied on
the chance that one of them might yield
pay dirt. but thus far they have proved
merely vexations and time wasting.
The openhandedness of Taylor in the
distribution of money is attested oy
Frank Bryson, Public Administrator. VINO
has charge of his estate. Bryson doubts
if the director was saving anything out
of his salary of $1,000 a week. Check
stubs indicate that he lent money right
and left without security as his friends
appealed to him. Among the assets is
an unsecured note for $4,000 signed by
one of these. To another man Taylor
lent $4,000 to finance film expedition
to China. 1t was to be repaid from the
profits on the pictures.
None knew better than Taylor that
this was a hazardous investment, but
1t was his nature to trust his friends.
This man Is now reported to be on the
way from Honolulu to San Francisco,
and it is believed that he will eventually
make repayment. Taylor paid several
thousand dollars to a screen actress, but
she says these were not loans, but gifts
enabling her to complete the payments
on an automobile he had given her in
gratitude for her help in making one
of his pictures a great popular sue
cess.
Bryson's petition to be appointed ad-
ministrator Of the estate will be heard
In the Superior COURT February %.
Then creditors will have ten months in
which to filo claims. Several claims
have been filed. One of them is for
$1,000, said to be due on jade tassel.
Most of the other bills are for house.

estate as listed by the Public Admins
traitor, consists of $500 cash in local
bank. $4.500 in bonds, personal effects
rot yet appraised, and notes for various
loans. The bill for the funeral, about
$1,000, presumably will be charged
against the estate.
The District Attorney has had another
talk with Mack Sennett. producer OF
Mabel Normand comedies, but he learned
nothing of value to the public, he says.
Many persons of the film colony who
object to going to the District Attorneys
office under the gaze of the public. are
being questioned by appointment in
other places The police rise to say that
If the public would quit talking about
the Taylor case and let it rest for a
while they might get something worth
while from persons who now keep und er
cover for fear of publicity.
The arrest of band of reputed black
mailers in Los Angeles yesterday has
no relation to the Taylor case.

Another parent who belongs TO the
wealthicr class upon whom the report
places the most blame said she placed
very little value upon the theory that
the South Orange children who are
brought up by servants instead OF by
the personal care of their parents sur
fered the most from malnutrition. win
a matronly sigh she added Il don't
think the board knows how hard II Is
to get servants now. We are lucky IL
we get one or two TO do the housework,
without including the care of children.
A member of the family of IL. j.
Crawford of 20 Second street was quite
indignant when informed of the report
Our children get just the same as we
do" she said. "As a matter or fact'
they're stuffing all the time. l don
see how the board could say such
thing"
The Board of Education authorities
stated they would be quite willirg TO
meet the parents in frank discussion
of TIE question, but no move had peen
made in this direction yet and they
thought it quite unlikely there would
be. In the meantime South Orange chill
dren will continue to play in the snow
and look much healthier and apparently
have a much better time, than the city
children.
