CITY IS AWED BY NEWS
OF PRESIDENTS DEATH
tcontinued from page /,

untimely demise was a shock to me
for we had arranged for SERVICES
n the congregation tomorrow when
we were to pray for his speedy re-
covery. Now, however, the service
will be one of mourning. The Jews
of the city mourn with the rest of
the world.
A number of radio fans in this
city and Staten Island listening in at
1890 O'Clock this morning secured
the first news of the death of Presi-
dent Warren c.. Harding as it was
being broadcasted throughout the
country. The radio at the Y. M. G.
A., was probably the first one in
this city to pick up the news that
was being broadcasted from Memp-
his, Tenn. This was followed by the
air service from station KDkA at
Pittsburgh almost at the same time.
Rev. W. Northey Jones, rector of
st. Peters church, at which public
prayer were said for President
Warren G. Harding's recovery, said
today:
81 think President Harding was a
very much beloved man; the right
man in the right place. He was a
man who came up from the ranks
of humble birth and one of the peo-
pie. He was a tactful man who I'M
derstood men. His loss will be keen
ly felt"
Mayor Wilson, who requested the
half masting of all flags In the city
today, explained to a News reporter
the proper position of a flag at half
mast. He said the varied positions
of flags throughout the city would
indicate that persons were either
ignorant of the correct manner In
which to fly the flag or careless
The proper way to go about hang
ing a flag at half mast, the mayor
said, Is first to hoist the flag to the
top of the pole or staff and then
lower 1t SO that the distance be-
tween the top of the flag and the
top of the pole Is equal to the width
of the flag. In lowering a flag
from half mast it first should be
hauled to the top Of the pole and
then lowered.

LEHIGH VALLEY TRIES OUT
FLANGED WHEEL CAR TODAY

A gasoline driven, Hanged wheel
car with a seating capacity of about
forty persons, was this morning Civ
en- it's first official trial in this city
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany. 1t is understood that the car
may be used regularly between this
city and South Plainfield instead of
the train which usually makes these
daily trips if it is found that a mon
ey saving will result. The train does
not as a rule have many passengers,
there being only a combination pas
senger and baggage car attached to
the locomotive. If the gasoline car
can efficiently take the place Of the
train it seems likely it win be al
lowed to remain here. 1t is under
stood that similar gasoline driven
motor cars are being tried u on
other short branch lines of the Le-
high Valley with the idea OF even
tually replacing trains.

PROBE TEACHEHB
APPOINTMENTS
School Commissioner AndeT-
son Insists on lnNestiga-
eS Members.

Christian Anderson, a member of
the Board of Education, again rails
ed the question of how teachers in
this city receive their appointment
at the regular meeting of the board
last night. Mr.. Anderson INTRODUCE
ed and had passed a motion reQuir-
ing the Superintendent Shull to pre-
pare a list of all the teachers APP
pointed during the last three years
and their rating upon appointments.
He charged that there are some
| teachers in the public schools Of
the city today who have not gradual
ed from Normal School. Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Oliver objected to Mr.. An.
d%erson's motion stating that 1t was
unnecessary work for Mr.. Shull and
Ethat it also reflected on the board
nj their choice of teachers. She re-
moved her objections later. q
A. G. Clark, president of the bod
told the members that the teachers
Mr.. Anderson referred to were prob
ably the ones who received their
appointment during the scarcity OF
teachers. we must know how the:
teachers get into the schools" he
stated. "If you are against the mo-
lion there must be something wrong
somewhere. 1 want to know how
the teachers are appointed"
After considerable discussions
Stephen Rostkowski seconded the
motion and it was carried unani-
mously that an investigation be
made. Mr. .Anderson's action last
night probably came about after the
heated argument between Louis Il
Sosin and members of the board.
The former asked the board at their
last meeting to tell their reasons
for appointing several other teach-
ers ahead of several local young wo-
men who had substituted in the
schools all year. At that time he
limited an investigation and the aG-
ton last night seems to be the nrst
move in that direction. Mr.. Ander-l
son also told the board that 1t was
his opinion that local students should
be given preference in all appoint
ments.
A communication was received
from superintendent Shull recom-
mending that in case half day sef-
sions are necessary, the first and Sec
ond grades should have four hour
neriods and not two and one-haif as
heretofore. Should the board vor
four hour sessions 1t will entail the
addition of more teachers, IT. was
pointed out. Ss
The deed for the parcel of land
adjacent to School No. A was re-,
ceived from the Raritan Copper

NEW PRESIDENT SWORN IN
AND STARTS TO CAPITOL
(Contiaued from Page ~


Congressman Dale had arrived from
Springfield with two federal en-
playes to act as body guard for the
new president.
AS soon as the brief sWearing-in
ceremony was over, the President
and Mrs. Coolidge retired to gain a
little rest before the trip to Wash
Ington. They had been aroused at
midnight by the unwonted noise of
automobiles laundering through the
notch bearing the news that a presi-
dent had died and a new had arisen.
All night long cars came and went
while Colonel Coolidge and the Sc
cret service men stood at the farm
house door to enjoin silence on the
visitors.
The swearing in formality was
short and simple. In the little sit
ting room of the farmhouse, furn-
nished in homely style like any other
Vermont country home, the Presi-
dent stood with right hand appraised
at one side of a little table with
Mrs. Coolidge beside him. Across the
table his father, his face beaming
with pride, read the few words of the
oath ito preserve, protect, and de-
fend the Constitution of the United
States"
The old mans voice trembled as
he read, Mr.. Coolidge repeated the
words distinctly and calmly and at
the end added the solemn affirmation
so help me, God" Congressman
Dale. Erwin c. Geisser, Mr.. Cool
idge's assistant secretary. a Vermont
editor and two secret service men
were the sole witnesses other than
Mrs. Coolidge.
At 7:30 the President appeared
at the front door, bowed to the as
sembled crowd. posed for several
photographs, and went back. Ter
minutes later the Presidential party
left.
