END RIPARIAN
RIGHTS SALE.
Governor Stokes and Republican
Leader Favor Law To Permit
Only Leasing.

TRENTON, Dec. 26:-Indignant
because so much valuable property
was disposed of at such low figures
in past years, Governor Stokes and
State Treasurer Briggs, together with
other state leaders of the republican
party, contemplate asking the COM
ing session of the legislature for the
enactment of law to forever pro-
hibit the selling of riparian rights in
fee simple
1t is the opinion OF the Governor
and his advisers that such rights
should only be leased for terms of
five years, and that the rentals should
be increased from time to time. The
riparian revenue of the state is one
source of income for school purposes
and if the commissioners continue to
sell off riparian lands the time will
come when this source of profit Will
be entirely cut off, whereas, under
system of judicial rentals the income
would steadily increase and be a per-
petual asset of the Commonwealth.
The riparian lands now held by
the state are estimated to be worth
$5,000,000 and they are growing
more valuable every day. This in
crease in value is especially true in
Hudson county, where recent inquiry
has shown that even during the past
year some tracts have been sold at a
very low price.
Riparian commission reports show
that in 1903 eighty grants were made
ranging in value from $40 to $20,-
900. The total amount received by
the state was $97,578.23. The same
year there were six leases and six
licenses granted, bringing the total
riparian income of the Common
wealth up to S204,944.27
In 1904 sixty grants OF land were
made and eleven leases and licenses
issued. The profits to the state from
these transactions was s127,92S.90.
During the period from April 1,
1864, to October 81, 1903, the total
amount received in riparian land
grants in fee simple was $3,554,S32.-
The total receipts from licenses
was $t1,262.50. The total amount
of leases outstanding, upon which a
rental of Z per cent. is paid, was
96,652.25. During the period these
rentals amounted to 81 $4,000.
This brings The grand total up to $5,-
ZIG, 6,095.71.

EACH EMPLOYE
REMEMBERED.
New Jersey Terra Gotta CON-
pany Made Merry Christmas
in Many Homes.
GIVEN FROM SIS UP.

1t was indeed a happy Christmas
for every employe of the New Jersey
Terra Gotta Works, for Just before
they left for home Saturday after
noon they were notified TO stop at the
Office to receive present from the
company.
AS each man stepped into the room
his name was called off and he was
presented with sum of money
Men were given present according
to the grade they held. All of the
laborers, Office boys and apprentices
received SIS. The mechanics and
pressers and finishers received $40,
while the men in the office and the
moulders were given from $15 to
$40.
The employees did not expect to re-
ceive anything from the firm and the
gifts came as a great surprise. The
year has been a very prosperous one
for the firm, the employees have work
ed early and late and because of the
good work done at the factory, it is
said, many new orders have been re-
ceived during the past few months.
The firm has between 125 and 100
men.

TROLLEY CUT OFF TO
ELIZABETH STARTED.
The Bee Line from MiIItOWn
Through Metuchen to be
Ready for Summer.
BRIDGE THE RARITAN.
Contract Has Been Awarded to a
Philadelphia Firm Will Save
Two Hours Time.

Work on Strengthening the line
and cutting down the running time
on the trolley road from Camden to
New York has been begun under the
direction of Stern & Silverman, of
Philadelphia, acting in harmony
with the Public Service Corporation.
An air line is being built between
Milltown and Elizabeth, which will
save fourteen miles of riding and two
and one-half hours between Trenton
and New York. The new line will be
twenty miles in length, and will be
completed in time for summer travel.
The operation will be costly, as the
entire twenty miles will run over pri-
vate right of way 100 feet wide. A
concrete bridge, 1900 feet in length,
one of the greatest of it's kind, will be
builtNover the Raritan river. 1t will
have a 200-feet steel draw span.
Heretofore the absence of this
straight-away line has been a great
drawback to speedy travel between
Trenton and New York. At present
riders are compelled to make q
sweeping half circle from Milltown
to New Brunswick, thence to Bound
Brook and to Elizabeth, making the
ride from Milltown to Jersey City
four hours long. The straightaway
ride from Trenton to Milltown at
present is twenty-four miles, which
is made in fifty-elght minutes. Over
the twenty miles of new work the
time for the entire distance will be
cut down two and one-half hours.
One of the next improvements to
be made in this service is to cut down
the running time between Camden
and Trenton. 1t is probable that
rights of way will be obtained where
ever they are necessary and double
track express service built withipze@
year or two. The trHiiic on the line
between the two cities is growing
constantly, as Is the demand for
more rapid transit The first atten-
ton, however, will be paid to improv-
ing the service between Trenton and
New York because of the growing
commuter travel out of Jersey City.

DECISION OF
I'M PORTANCE.
Justice GaynOr Says Supreme
Council Of Royal ArCanum
Cannot Change Rates.

Justice Gaynor, in the Brooklyn
Supreme Court. handed down a de-
cision Saturday that will have a big
effect on the controversies that have
threatened the disorgani2ation of the
Royal Arcanum for many months
past.
He held that the Supreme Council
of the Royal Arcanum had no right
to increase the assessments nor
change the rates under which its
members were admitted to the bene-
fits of the order.
Though his decision is vastly i'm
portant and affects hundreds of
thousands OF members of the Royal
Arcanum, it is very brief. Justice
Gaynor's decision reads:
THE amendments complained of
which increase the assessments are
void, for the reason that they change
the contract of the members with the
organization. need add nothing to
what ] have said in the case of Lam
gan against the American Legion of
Honor on the same head"
This decision was handed down in
the case of James l.. Mock against
the Supreme Council of the Royal
Arcanum. Mr.. Mock was secretary
of the Berkeley Council of the Royal
Arcanum, No. 1854, and one of the
leaders in the opposition to the pro
posed change Of rates and increase
of assessments.

DISAPPEARED.
Strange Action of Man in a De-
Iirium May Cause His
Death.
MIND UNBALANCED.
Used a Razor, but Would Have
Recovered Had He Remained
at Home.

Rendered mentally irresponsible
by delirium resulting from pneu-
monia, Michael Scupsevic2 cut his
wrist with razor in an effort to end
his life Sunday afternoon. The
wound did not cause him to bleed to
death and he is not likely TO die from
its effects. His condition may be-
come serious, however, from his
wandering out Of doors Sunday night
about O'Clock. although Il very sick
man. and his continued absence from
the house, during which, it is sup
posed, ne was exposed to the cold air
much of the time.
Scupsevicz slashed his wrist about
] o'clock Sunday and was attended
by DR.. G. w. Tyrrell. When DR.. Tyr
rell called at the house yesterday
he was informed that Soup
sevicz had left home the night before
and had failed to return. His alb
sence was reported to the police. 1t
was learned later that Scupsevicz had
borrowed so from a friend, saying it
was for medical expenses.
Just previous TO Scupsevicz's sui
cidal act the members of his family
had left his room at his urging.
Scupsevicz is the husband of Big
Mary" Scupsevicz, who has been con-
cerned in so many rows on Hartford
street.

Artillery was summoned and batter

the insurgents, it is stated, is to hold
the outskirts and gradually inclose the
