Chief Burke announces that he will
enforce the law concerning the sale of
fire arms to persons under fifteen years
of age. The law was passed for just
that purpose and the chief will receive
the cooperation of all right minded
citizens in his action. The law is a
popular one, judging from press COM
ments throughout the State. and the
authorities in all cities of any import
ance have had their attention called
to the act and urged to see that it is
enforced. Everywhere it is realized
that much delay and loss of life re-
suits from fire arms in the hands of
children and the Legislators have done
we'll to make it possible for local
officials to, in measure, check the
practice. 1t will not be an, easy task
to enforce the new law, but judging
from past experiences Chief Burke
and his men are, ,eaual to the task.

CAR IS DETERMINED
That Military Assassins Of
Servia's Sovereigns
SHALL BE PUNISHED FOR RECICIDE
Gives the keynote to Europe as to
the Action That should Be Taken
to Put Servia Right Before
the World.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 19.-An of.
fetal note was published in the Ga
zette recognizing Prince Peter Kara
georgevitch as king of Servia and wei
coming his accession.
In brief, the note declares that it is
incumbent upon King Peter to avenge
the assassinations of King Alexander
and Queen Draga and expresses the
conviction that he will know how Sc
verely to punish the regicides, whose
misdeeds should not be visited on the
entire Servian nation or army.
The note adds that it would be dan
gerous to the tranquility of Servia to
leave the crime unpunished.
The text of the note follows:
"a week has now elapsed since the
day of the bloody revolution at Bel
grade, an intimation of which could
not be given to the imperial govern
ment in the customary official form be-
cause legal authority was lacking in
Servia. Strictly adhering to her stand
point of nonintervention of the internal
affairs of the Balkan states and at the
same time finding it impossible to hold
any intercourse whatsoever with the
persons who have arbitrarily usurped
power Russia has awaited the conclu-
sion Of the troubles in order to define
clearly her attitude toward the events
in the kingdom of Servia.
''In the skupshtina and senate, as
sembled in extraordinary session June
10, the legal order of things was re-es-
tablished and Prince Peter Karageorge-
witch was unanimously elected king.
The prince, complying with the request
of the national assembly, has consent
ed to ascend the throne of Servia under
the name Of Peter 1. Immediately aft
er the proclamation the new king tele-
graphed to the czar asking his imperial
majesty to recognize hiIh as king,
whereupon the reply, Of his majesty in
confirmation of this was sent.
''The imperial government while
hailing the election of the new mon
arch, scion of a glorious dynasty, and
wishing all success in the task he has
so well begun to the supreme head of
the Servian people, which is allied to
Russia by ties of religion, can neverthe-
less not refrain from expressing the
confident hope that King Peter will be
able to give evidence of his sense of
justice and firmness of will by adopt
ing measures at the outset to investi-
gate the abominable misdeed which
has been committed and to mete out
righteous punishment to those traitor
GUS criminals who have stained them
selves with the infamy attaching to
regicides.
"Of course the entire Servian nation
or army cannot be held responsible for
the crime which revolts public con-
science, yet it would be dangerous to
Servia's internal peace not to exact ex-
piation for the revolution carried out
with violence by the military. Such
neglect would inevitably react in an
unfavorable manner on the relations
Of all the states with Servia and would
create for Servia serious difficulties at
the very commencement of the reign
of King Peter l.

NEWARK, N. j., June 19.-Newark's
board of trade has taken up the project
of a ship canal to connect this city

through the meadows. Representative
William H. Wiley of New Jersey is a
leader in the movement, which contem-
plates the seeking of federal aid. James
Owen, Essex county engineer, places
the cost of the work at from $70OO,OOO
to 100000 and the time required for
construction at from three to five years.
The matter will be brought before con-

The cost of putting Sheridan street
in condition for traffic and thereby
completing the approach for the new
bridge is food for thought for a great
many Just now The Evening News
has, upon several occasions, called
attention to the great amount of work
to be done by the city before the
bridge can be used from this side and
the ridiculous position the city would
be in if the bridge is completed and
Perth Amboy be the cause of delaying
its use to the public. Different people
were asked by member of the News
staff yesterday to give estimates as to
what it would cost the city to COM
plete the necessary work and no two
answers were alike.
The most conservative was $50, 900.
All said it largely depended upon how
long it took to find the bottom of the
swamp through which the street must
be built. In other places where efforts
have been made to fill in this swamp,
cart-load after cart-load of material
has been du1baa4 into the marsh and it
has all gee out Of siRRtapd apparent
progress has been made. At all
events it is going to cost the city a
good round sum of money, nearly as
much as the bridge itself. If the al
dermen, before granting the franchise
on Sheridan street, had investigated
these things thoroughly they could
easily have gotten trolley company
TO pay half, if not all, the expense of
filling in this marsh, but $1,000 was
all that was secured. No matter how
it is figured, it seems to he pretty
near time the officials, whose business
it is to attend to such matters, did
some pretty tall thinking.

Dismissal order.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Postmas-
Ter General Payne has received the fol
lowing letter from Mr.. Metcalf asking
n suspension of the order of dismissal
until his complete defense may be
heard:
Il cannot but feel that under ordi-
nary circumstances such summary ac-
ton as has been taken in my case
would not have been had without giy-
ing me a chance to be heard by your
self in my own defense.
'It must be due to the heated, ex-
cited and congested condition of affairs
in the post Office department that the
postmaster general has consented to
this summary dismissal of a man who
for the best part of his life since at
tanning manhood has devoted his
whole thought and being to the honest
discharge of his duties to the govern
ment and the best interest of the postal
service, in which no stain or suspicion
has ever heretofore attached to him.
"Justice to myself, my family and
my friends require that should ap-
peal to the postmaster general to re-
call this order of summary dismissal
and. accord me an opportunity to show
that In this matter, as in all others,
was consulting only the best interests

HANDSOME GIFT.
Miss McMurphy Given Testimonial Of
the Esteem in which she is held by
the School of Music.

Miss Russell McMurphy was pre-.
scented in her class room this morn
ing, surrounded by her pupils and
the faculty of the School of Music,
with a beautiful set of Grieg's Piano
Compositions bound in Morocco
with her name in gilt lettering on
the covers. The set was a very
handsome and artistic gift, and was
especially put up by schirmer Co.
of New York. 1t is in four volumes
and the gift was an exceptionally
appropriate one, as she has often
been heard to say that Grieg is her
fayorite composer.
The presentation was made by
Dean Wrightson on behalf Of the
class and faculty. He made some
glowing and complimentary remarks
wishing her God-speed in her new
surroundings, and speaking with
sincere and deep regret at the great
loss the school feels in her departure
assuring her of the universal desire
of the entire community that she
might have been able to stay here.
