sent of Three Attorneys

Thomas Hagerty, a local attorney,
was today appointed administrator
pendente lite or temporary admin
istrator, upon the estate of DR..
Charles M. Freeman, of Metuchen,
by County Judge Kirkpatrick under
an agreement of counsel in the case.
The appointment OF Mr.. Hagerty
was agreed to by Theodore Strong,
counsel for Harry Mohring named
| as executor in the opposed will oi
DIR. freeman; Russell E. Watson
| counsel for the four sisters who are
fighting the will, and Thomas
Brown, counsel for the widow, who
is also fighting the will and has had
a caveat filed against it. A 5000
bond will be furnished by Mr.. Hag-
erty for faithful performance of his
duties.
Mr.. Watson explained that he had
been the trustee for Mr.. Freeman
and held the entire stock of the de-
ceased. He requested his discharge
as trustee, in order to settle the af-
fairs of DIR. Freeman. The value ot
the estate will be in excess of $780,
600, according to Mr.. Watson.
Attorney Brown told the court ar

business will not permit of this sum
being paid in a lump sum, Mr.. Wat

ii might be paid IN installments.

Donations of Land

will probably adopt another course. "
This bill provides for appropriat-
ing for the use of the New Jersey
ship canal the moneys heretofore
realized from the Morris canal
agreement" Governor Silzer also
said.
"Under the existing law, it is
necessary that New Jersey shall have
appropriated sufficient sum to
guarantee the United States govern
ment that it may acquire the land
for the canal. The money appro-
priated by this bill furnishes sucn
guarantee to the United States gov
ernment, and we may then ascertain
whether the national government
will build the canal. If it does not
the money may be appropriated.
There is another feature in con-
nection with this to which I should
call attention. If this canal is built,
all those owning property along the
canal will be substantially benefited
thereby, and their property will in
crease in value"

ON NEW SCHOOL
State Aid Will be Cut Off
Unless Finances Are
Forthcoming
THREAT OF THE STATE
According to CIark's Report
Made to Board of EduCa-
ton Last Night
THREAT OF THE STATE

The withholding of state aid to the
local schools is threatened, unless
action is taken by the aldermen to
construct a new school to relieve the
conditions. This aid amounts to
about $4,000. The information
was given last night at the meeting
of the Board of Education by Presi-
dent A. Clayton Clark, in his report
of conference held at Trenton yes
terday, which was attended by Com
missioner of Education John En-
right, c. J. Strahan, assistant COM
missioner of education. in charge of
the legal department; Christian An
dersen and Mr.. Clark of the local
Board Of Education. Mr.. Clark de-
clared that if this appropriation is
withheld, it will mean the city will
be forced to close down some of the
schools and discharge a large num-
her of teachers.
Mr.. CIark's report followed an ex-
ecutive session of the board, which
was also attended by Aylin Pierson,
the architect for the proposed
school.
Mr.. Clark declared that Mr.. An
dersen and himself told of the situa-
ton of the Hall avenue school, in
cluding the developments since the
last conference, which was attend
ed by City Attorney Wilentz, Alder
man-at-large Calvin and Commis-
sioner of Municipal Accounts Dar-
! by, and went into details concern
! ing the resembling of the resolution
asking for the appropriation OF
$450,000 and the passing of a new
resolution requesting the appropria-
ton of $250,000 so that unit of
the school might be constructed. He
also informed the commissioner OF
the meeting of the Board of Schoo.
Estimate today to act on this reso-
luton.
Mr.. Enright informed Mr.. Clark
that it was incumbent on the Board
of School Estimate to vote for the
resolution and that after this is done,
it will be mandatory on the part OF
the aldermen to raise the money
needed either by bond issue, direct
taxation or both.
Mr.. Enright according to the re-
port of Mr.. Clark, declared that II
the aldermen showed no indication
to appropriate the money 1t would
be necessary to withhold the state
aid. Mr.. Enright declared that the
state did not like 10 do this. but II
the city did not meet the require
ments the state would have to take
this action.
If some formal action is not
taken at the meeting of the alder
men tonight, Mr.. Enright advised
the board to employ counsel to see
that the money is provided accord
ing to law. The situation Mr.. CLARK
pointed out is very serious and told
how Mr.. Enright had quoted law
showing that the city must raise the
money and also of recalling several
instances where similar action had
been taken by the state.

senator expresses his pleasure at
being invited to debate the subject,
but points out that he did not as
sert, as reported, that attempts to
enforce the Volstead law were un-
American. His reference to "uo-
American" he said had to do with
the insistence on the continuance of
en- act which is stricter than the
constitution itself.
