Score of - to o WINS Made In First
Half.

Philadelphia. Nov. 5.-Pennsyivania to-
day defeated Lafayette at football by the
score of % to 0. All of the points were
scored in the opening half. after the Wis
itors had spent their energy in carrying
the ball from their own twenty-eight-yard

This was the only redeeming feature OF
Lafayette's play.
Pennsylvania won the toss and kicked
on. Lafayette secured the ball on her
OWL Acknowledgement line. and by steady
line plunging carried the ball to PennsvI-
vania's thirty-yard line. where the latter
held. and the ball went to Pennsylvania

In the second half Pennsylvania had
almost an entirely new eleven in. and tina
play was all In her territory. PennsvIS
yania played a kicking game in this bsIr
making practically no attempt to advanes

ATTACKS THE MACHINE

: Gloucester City, Dec. 9:-Thirty-
six Prohibition votes in this city.
That is what the voting machine here
at the last election registered. The
democrats say the possibility of there
being thirty-six Prohibitionists here
is absurd, and in a bill of complaint
fled with the court they have made
this their strong point.
The constitutionality of the voting
machine will be tested by the demo
Gratis, and Lawyer French, in bis
petition. says the registering of sc
many Prohibition votes in n town
with the beer-drinking repr tation OF
Gloucester shows that voting machines
are not to be relied upon.
He appeared before Judge Endicott,
in Camden, yesterday, and said there
never have resided in Gloucester
more than two Prohibitionists. Bonds
for $500 were entered and the court
will hear argument within thirty

Corporation, which lost the contract for
lighting the city of Passaic, has deter
mined to fight the granting of the con-
tract in the courts. In the event that the

General Spencer, the local representa-
tive of the Public Service Corporation,
says that if the new, concern will give
electricity for ten cents, his concern will
sell for five, and If the new people sell 1t
for five the Public Service will give
electricity away for nothing. If the
Weehiawken people lose, the citizens of

TO LIGHT PLAlNFIELD
FROM METUCHEN PLANT

Work that will eventually lead to the
location OF the electric light plant of the
Public Service Corporation in Plainfield
at Metuchep is now under way, employees
of the company being employed to string
the necessary wires to Plainfield. While
this change VIII not be made immediate
ly it is the purpose of the company to
effect it as soon as CONVENIENT. The idea
Of moving the electric light plant is
chiefly because the company Will be able
to save a considerable..s sum in taxes.
The tax on the Plainfield plant is a
heavy one and figured on the rate OF
Sc. SO aggregates a considerable sum. In
Metuchen the rate is much lower and Is
sure to be for some years to come.
1t is said that a portion of the poorer
needed for the operation of the trolley
cars will be furnished from the station
at Metuchen. This change would neces-
state Fairfield making other arrange
ments for the blowing of the fire alarm,
but there has been more or less talk
about doing away with this whistle.

Trenton, Dec. 9:--The dinner which
State Treasurer Briggs gave to the legis-
.lative committee, Wednesday, following
its annual examination and approval OF
his accounts, was marked not only by
the bipartisan tribute to Mr.. Briggs
conduct of the States finances, but by a
tribute paid to Colonel McNeely, who
has just resigned as chief clerk of the
comptroller's department. Colonel Nc
Nelly, in speaking, said that he had seen
ten Governors and seven c~omptrollers in
the State house, and that of his knowl-
edge the finances of the State, of late,
had always been conducted honestly, and
that if ever the Appropriation Committee
needed his services they would be gladly
rendered. Mr.. Briggs delivered an ad-
dress in praise of the deputy comptroller.
A clerk in the office of the treasurer
said that when he asked who would fol
low Governor-elect Stokes, he was told,

FOREST FIRES
in NEW JERSEY
More Fires This Year Than Last
But Acreage Burned Over
was Less.

ErOm tie Ne7oS' CorreSb0n6ent.
: Trenton, Dec. 9.-Many interesting
details relative to the prevention and
recurrence of floods in the Passaic
valley aud valuable information as to
forest fires is contained in the annual
report of State Geologist Henry B.
Kummel, Which has been presented to
Governor Murphy. Remedies for the
prevention of the floods aresssuggested,
the State geological exhibit at the st.
Louis exposition is reviewed instruc-
lively, and the technical details of
the department. are outlined.
In discussing the fire problem the
report says: "It is reported that
during the past year there were
eighty one fires which burned Al. $50
acres. The loss is estimated at $780,
Alb. This year shows two more fires
than 1908, but the acreage burned
over was less than one-half. Tie
loss was two-thirds thatof last year,
when the figures: were s305, 744.
In concluding this part of the report
Professor Kummel says: "This de-
partment has repeatedly pointed out
that by thu expenditure of o compare.
lively moderate sum, the State could
establish forest fire service, as has
been done in other States. which
would do much to prevent aud restrict
these fires. 1t is too much to hope
that they could he entirely prevented,
but it is entirely reasonable to be-
lieve that by the expenditure of q sum
which would be only n fraction of the
annual loss oocasioned by them, they
could be SO restricted that there
would be some inducemeHt for the
timper land owner to improve his
holdings and initiate forestry
methods.
In closing the report gives a detailed
description of the New Jersey geolo-
gical exhibit at the st. Louis fair.

GROWING OBJECTIONS
TO new SCHOOL SITE.
Normal Location in North Jersey
Not Satisfactory to Many Mem
bers of Legislature.

Trenton, &C. 9:-Objections to the
site for the new normal school in
North Jersey, which were manifested
when ii was first chosen, are growing
in volume and threats are being made
by the u~p-Jersey members of the leg
isiature that efforts will be made this
winter to withhold further appro-
priations to the project.
The sum appropriated for the pur-
chase of q site was $50, 900 nj this
was spent in securing land at Mont
clair Heights. 1t was expected this
winter that the funds for the erection
of the school building would be
granted, and it is towards this grant
that the threats are directed.
The new normal school ran afoul of
much opposition at the very start, tho
directors claiming that no proof was
N that q second school of the kind
-Sas needed. Those who held this
view tooK the ground that the school
in thi 9 city would be sufficient for all
State needs for some years.
When the site was announced tile
objections became much more pro
nonnced, on the ground that o much
land was purchased and that the site
WAS inaccessible.
Montclair Heights is an undeveloped
suburb" of Paterson, Passaic,
Newark, Jersey City and H~oboken,
situated partially in Mon'clair town
ship, Essex county, and partially in
Acquackonock township, Passaic
county. 1t was selected by q commit.
tee appointed for the purpose, and the
selection was approved by the State
board of education and finally by
Governor Murphy.

TO IMPROVE
SHREWSBURY.
Government will Probably Make
an Appropriation to Con-
tinue Work There.
S1eeiaI To the Eventng Meas

Special TO the EVeHtHg Meas.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 9:-In the
year 1903, 277, 257 passengers were
carried on the Shrewsbury river, and
the tonnage amounted to 761,0OO.
The maximum draft that could be
carried June 80, 1904, was five feet at
NEAR low water. Under the Eexisting
project for improvement of this water
way there has been expended up to
June 30, 1904. 1889. $50, 28 of which
amount $168, 500 was for carrying out
the project and $1O9, o30.2s for main
tenance.
1t is proposed to deepen the channel
to six feet with a width of 300 feet to
The junction of the north and south
branches, and with a width OF 100
feet in those branches. Nine dikes
have been built and the shoals have
been dredged and redredged frequent

HAUL-OF FISH
Eighteen Thousand Pounds at One
Lift of the Net.

Toms River, Dec. 9:-Perhaps the
largest catch of fish ever made in Barne-
gat Bay was recently brought in by Cap
tain William Webster and crew, of West
Mantoloking. In n haul they caught
IS. 900 pounds of perch, in what is
known asApplegate's Cove, about n and
a half miles from the mouth of Toms
River. The seine was so full that it was
very difficnlt to get ashore.
Thinking it was full of grass, which
often bothers the fishermen, Captain
Webster waded out in the water and dis
covered that the net was full of fish. 1t
took three days to gather the fish up and
get them ready to be shipped to market.
The following day Captain G. W.
Maxon, of Mantoloking, caught 5000
pounds of perch in the same cove.
