MRS. NI'LEAN'S S REFORMS

WASHINGTON, April 21, 1905. The
Daughters of the American Revolution
spent the entire day in sight seeing, and
talking over the exciting events Of the
past AS hours, which have resulted in the
victory of the Mclean faction.
Tomorrow the last business session Of
the congress will be held. President Gem
eral-elect Mclean will assume the duties
of her new office on Monday, when she
presides at the meeting of the national
board of management. In outlining her
policy Mrs. Mclean said to-day that her
strongest desire was to see Continental
Hall completed; her next to see that the
local interests of the chapters throughout
the country were well looked after. She
also expressed emphatically desire to
see that the administration Of fhe socie-
ty's affairs was carried out on strict busi-
ness lines.
This last is taken to mean that clean
ing process will be applied 10 the work
ing force at the national headquarters
here in Washington
II has long been the contention Of the
Mclean faction that TOO much money
was spent on the headquarters.
Mrs. McLean's friends declare.that she
will go about her reforms in i practical
tactful manner. Her enemies VOW that
she will be the most radical Of radicals,
worse than William Jennings Bryan.

that she will ride roughshod over every

EMP IRE 3. & LIS AFFAIRS

The Board of Managers Of the Empire
Building and Loan Association held a
meeting last night at its headquarters in
Montgomery street, opposite the City
Hall. Before the meeting Police Cap
tain Cody, by request, sent Policeman
Whalen to the meeting. II was rumored
that some sort of statement was to be
made that might possibly precipitate a
row. Several reporters attracted by the
presence of the blue coat at the meeting
entered the room, but were requested BY
vote to retire.
President Burke said he saw no objec-
tion to the reporters remaining and took
the floor TO speak in their behalf. but a
vote was taken and the majority insisted
that the reporters should retire. A few
moments later Policeman Whalen was
asked TO retire.

TO AVERT WATER GRAB

Especial to '.The Jersey City News.')
TRENTON, April %, 1905.--If Gov
ernor Stokes should not sign the Bach
eller bin to prevent the diversion of
water from this State for fear, as told
yesterday, that the bill is unconstitu-
tional, it is not unlikely that some steps
may be taken by the Forestry Commits
sion, on behalf of the State, to condemn
the water sources Of the State and to in
clude them in the State Forestry reser-
vations
The connection between the waters Of a
country and its forestration is very close
1t is a matter of general knowledge that
water sources are most prolific where
there is large tree growth.
The bill passed by the last Legislature
establishing the State Board of Forest
Park Reservation Commissioners, being
Chapter AZ of the Laws of 1905, author
ICES the Board $50 far as it can,1 among
other things, to keep in view ..the general
conservation of forest tracts aronnd the
headwaters and on the watersheds of all
the water courses Of the State
To purchase or acquire by condemna-
tion all the watersheds of the State
would require millions of dollars. The
Forestry Board is authorized to purchase
lands in the name of the State. but with
in the amount appropriated by the Leg
islature.
The subject, despite the difficulties pre-
sented, have been considered by men in
terested in the Forestry Boards work,
but no positive action has been taken so
far. The requirement by the State For
estry Board of the water courses of the
State would be equivalent to State own
ership. However, al present the board
does not possess, under the act creating
it, the right 10 sell water, but if the pos
session of the water was once given to
the State Board it would probably ae-
quire at the same time the privilege of
selling the water. It a State board con-
trolled the water it would probably not
sell outside the State

MERELY
MENTIONED.

Mayor Pagan is more disturbed over
the appointment Of Health Commits
sioner iii the place Of Or. Hespe, whose
term is about to expire, than over any
other appointment he has at his dispo-
sal. He is bound to make political enc
mics no matter what action he takes.
DIR. Hespe, who wants a reappointment,
has many friends in the Eleventh and
Twelfth Wards and the Fremont club,
an influential Republican organization,
has endorsed him for the place. The
Eleventh Ward Republican club has en-
dorsed Theodore Brieck. Morris Helm
", the new leader Of the ward, is also for
Breick. Mayor Pagan doesn't want to
offend Heiney by appointing DIR. Hespe,
and he doesn't want to incur the dis
pleasure of the Fremonters by appoint
ing Brick. He would much rather Sc
lect an outsider. Leader Heiney, how
ever, has served notice on the people
down town, as Collector Fry and the
Mayor are termed by the Hudson City
Republicans, that it must be Brick or
a new leader for the Eleventh Ward 1t
is this condition that the Mayor finds it
difficult to overcome and he is spending
many sleepless nights trying to figure out
way of satisfying the friends Of both
the aspirants.

Comptroller during the past 6ye years,
but have refrained from pressing it I'M
til the department itself was firmly es-
tablished in the confidence Of the whole
community, and all difficulties with
county and other authorities completely
and satisfactorily adjusted. We are
now, fortunately, in a position to affirm
this. and confidently look to the Legis-
lature for solution of the problem
@An appropriation Of $4,000 would
relieve the strain upon our treasurer,
who now (as in other State Boards in
New Jersey has to play the unpleasant
part Of buffer between the Board and
its clamorous creditors
Miss Frances Day, General Agent for
the Society, with offices in the CONNER
eial Trust Building in this city, in her
report SAYS. among other things:
.one Of the most interesting features
Of the work during the past year has
been watching the development Of NUM-
Der Of children who were among the first
placed in families by this Board at the
beginning of the work, FIVE years ago.
It is encouraging to find these former
wards still depending upon the agent Of
fba poard for q d,r;<.o
ssThe commitments for the year have
fallen off. This is due to the fact that.
in number of cities the poormasters
are willing for us to investigate before
the children are committed to the aims
house, and very often we find relatives
who are able and willing to take care of
the children.
During the year, we have had more
deseFtions by mothers than heretofore.
The desertion act does not apply to
mothers There is no law under which
mother can be punished or extradited
for deserting her child We have in
some cases had the mother arrested un-
der the Cruelty to Children act. If this
Desertion law could be amended so as
to have the word mother inserted. it
win fully cover both married and single
women.
II think it there was a law compelling
a mother to accompany her infant when
it is committed to the State Board. and
that She be placed under our supervision,
where she could work for her child and
have it with her, it would in many cases
be the salvation of the mother.
After trying different methods, it
was decided that it would be less ex-
pe1lsive to each county for the State
Board to employ physician. This
was done last September. DIR. Robert
Stewart, of Jersey City, was selected for
the position, owing to his great intskest
in our work during the past three years.
This plan thus far has worked well.
DR.. Stewart goes in the family not only
as physician, but as a friend Of the
child. He observes the surroundings and
general treatment of the child, and
makes written report at once to the
Board
