I Court of Errors Takes the Matter 1 up—Constitutionality Being Tested. The Court of Errors is in conference today, when it is expected a decision will be handed down in the case of the attack upon the constitutionality of the McKee school law. At Thursday afternoon's argument of the case before the Court of Errors it developed that the principal objec tion to the measure involves the pro vision making a distinction between cities and other municipalities in that it is contrary to the constitutional provision that public instruction shall be maintained under a uniform system. The setting aside of the act, it was argued, on the other hand would en- j tangle school affairs in every part of the state, and the school authorities j feared years of litigation would follow such a decisiou. The feature of the argument was I Attorney General McCarter’s state nient that if certain sections of the I school law, naming Nos. 33 and 246, 1 were defective or unconstitutional, he B for one, was prepared to throw them H out and retain those sections of the law which are constitutional. Justice Pitney said he could find nothing in the law that gives a code for the management of a school dis trict that is partly in one municipality and partly in another. He asked why a similar classification could not be' applied to the inheritance act, and the J first born inherit property in the cities ; and the other children inherit that in counties. WEATHER TOO WARM. Oyster Market in New York Turns Down the Bivalves at Present.

This is the first time since __ UO K/y lUgllli X H !□ A a llio 111 Pt llino DillVO a the season opened that New York has had too many oysters. ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION.
