G. Frank Sutherland Vainly OPP
poses Him 10 the Veterans
Rights Association.

Considerable discussion was precipitated
at Saturdays meeting Of the Veterans
Rights Association at the Avenue House
on Saturday when the Committee on
Counsel, through its Chairman, Secretary
Charles r. Vale, asked that its report,
which had been tabled at its last meeting,
be acted upon. The report
the engagement Of Congressman NC
Evan as counsel to the association.
G. Frank Sutherland vigorously object
ed to the adoption OF the recommendation.
He said there were many other worthy
lawyers, and he could see no reason why
Mr.. McEwan should be singled out as the
man to represent the organization in the
courts. He declared that to engage the
services of the Congressman would give
the public the idea that the association
was meddling in politics. n that would
be seriously detrimental to the usefulness
of the organization.
Despite his objections the report was
adopted and Mr.. McEwan engaged, but
the DIRECTORS afterwards had the salts
faction of adding the names of ex-Judge
William T. Hoffman, Hon Isaac F. Col
denhorn. James Manning and Henry F.
White as associates to the Congressman
The Committee on Labor Bureau,
through President Simmons, it's Chair
man. reported that Mayor Hoos had been
seen, and that he had expressed him
jects of the bureau. Alderman Weis Will
at Tuesdays meeting of the city fathers
introduce a petition from the association
asking that such a bureau be organized.
The constitution and bylaws presented
by the committee previously appointed TO
draft the same was read by Mr.. Suther-
q and adopted section by section,
The monument question was Hghtiy
touched by Chairman sutherland OF the
committee appointed to confer with the
objecting granite workers of this coun-
ty, reporting that he had secured a COM
nunication from the COMMITTEES OF that
organization. A communication from
Martin A. Adams in regard to the action
of the monument committees In excluding
home competition was read and filed with
out m
The matter Of raising funds to increase
discussion. G.. F. sutherland objected to
John r. Jurgens being appointed a com
mittee of one to raise funds. He de-
ciared that such an appointment would pc
an ~usurpation OF the powers OF the FL
nance. Committee which President Sim
mons had yet to appoint. The President
announced that the committee would pc
appointed very shortly. but despite the
objections Mr.. Jurgens was authorized to
go ahead and collect.
The organization then considered the
matter OF a QumDeF OF OlQ SOLDIERS WIG
are said to be inmates of the Aims House
and of a number of veterans of the war
who are said to. be buried in Potter's field
at Snake Hill. These subjects were re
ferred to in an order which the late State

Of preparation at the time of his sudden
death. The Secretary was instructed to

essing and highly moral matter the ohis

In the moral crusade page, the No."
has one screamer head line over a priei
,n..,vt.v with an alleged prominent
democratic politician who is representeo
as stating that the race track men hau
raised a corruption fund and proposed 10
defeat the amendment by bribery ana 'he
employment of repeaters. The places
designated as the scenes OF the -crooAeo
work are Hudson. Passaic and Camden
though why these rather than Essex or
assas,er.x or Monmouth is not made clear.
OF course actions of this sort are always
,uyented to discount the result CT a opu
lar vote, They mean absolutely nothing
rha,,e h no conceivable reason why horse
owners or bockmakers should spend any
great amount of money to open TINS state
to horse racing, when they have an tns
liberty they want in New York. Four
years ago. it was different. They mac
vested interests here. They had tracks
in actual operation, With established repu-
tations {some good. some bad q doins
an enormously remunerative business
Now. the tracks are wrecks-some OF
them sola and broken up-the business IS
d~isslpated. There is nothing to project
on the contrary. any effort to open new
racing in this state would only mean .
vast outlay Of money with doubtful re-
turns.
For these reasons. we take no stock IN
any story that the racing element Is max
ing efforts to beat the proposed amend
ments. They nave assuredly shown no
sign. They have made no campaign.
They appear to have no friends or sup
porters. Probably BILLY Thompson will
make a hustle in Camden on general prin-
efples. but who is there in Hudson VINO
cares q red cent how the vote goes
In ehis fight. the advocates OF the
amendment rave every advantage. They
have powerful and compact organization
in the churches and church clubs and So
sissiea Ii they lose the fight. 1t must be
either through sheer supineness or else
BECAUSE the true sentiment of the State
is vigorously against them Cries of cor
ruptiou and fraud are foolish in the last
degree. --

Lawyers are waiting with much interest

existing judgments based on the classi-
fcation of cities, and yet reject the Nc
Arthur Act as being an example Of special
