The Appalling Waste by Fire.

One thousand million dollars said Presi-
dent Washburn, Of the Board of Fire
Underwriters, at its meeting in New York,
is the country's loss by fire in six years
The loss for 1904 surpassed all previous
records, reaching 1929, 100000, Of which
$50, 900 600 disappeared in the Baltimore
blaze.
But that is not the real total of destruc-
ton. 1t does not include all lonely, unin-
sured farm houses Of small value burned.
1t does not fully cover the losses of house,
hold goods in general less adequately in
sured than buildings. 1t takes no note Of
forest fires, the most irreparabe Of all
calamities. The figures might almost be
doubled without exaggeration The true
annual fire tax of the nation is doubtl IS
S25 per family.
No other civilized nation knows such an
appalling waste. Even in the tinder-and-
paper japanese cities fire losses are COM
palatively slight, since building is cheap
and family valuables are kept in tireproof
'go-downs," or storehouses.
Ours is prospecting nation; but can it
much longer afford a ire tax OF SO cents a
week for every family World.

Read The Laws.

One of the Metropolitan papers said in its
issue Of last Sunday
Some local governments in this State
are preparing to adopt ordinances regulat-
ing the speed Of automobiles Before
acting upon such propositions they would
do well to read carefully the general act for
the regulation of motor vehicles passed by
the Legislature of 1903 and particularly
the section which reads as follows:-"N
city, town, township, borough or other
municipality shall have power to make any
ordinance, bylaw or resolution limiting or
restricting the use or speed of motor ve-
hieles; and no ordinance, bylaw or resoIu-
tion heretofore or hereafter made by any
city, town, towship, borough or other mum
icipal or local authority, by whatever
name known or designated in respect to or
limiting the use or speed of motor vehicles
shall have any force, effect or validity
Then after reading this, they may throw
their proposed ordinance into the waste
basket
OF course, all the townships may do after
Republican legislature adjourns is to APP
propriate money to build roads that shall
make automobiling at high speed possible
and pleasureable. They cannot pass laws
designed to protect themselves or their
families in the enjoyment of roads they
build.

Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-05-18

The selection OF suitable site for a new
school house is subject that can now be
re-opened, Council having repealed the
"Manley Lott purchase ordinance. As
we understand the ideas of members Of
the Board Of Education, all favor the CON
struction Of new school building. To
accomplish this site must be secured, and
persons having lots that they wish to sell
will be warranted in making the fact
known. It has been asserted that the
Manley Lot can be purchased at con-
siderable sum less than provided in the
previous ordinance, and as we feel sure
that there is less objection to that site now
than two months ago, we hope the truth
Of this statement will be thoroughly
investigated.

This paper is entered IN the Post Oeace at Wood
urg, N. j.. as second-ctass matter.

Certain features of our Proceedings OF
Council" this week will prove startling not
only to Woodbury. readers but to Giouces-
ter county people generally. A local paper
is supposed to be a counselor and guide in
all public questions, and to discuss all mat
tiers of public moment to the end that the
people will reach correct conclusions. We
may acknowledge in advance that we can
not be a judge of the proper scale for our
Courts to adopt IN fixing license fees, when
the Court and Council hold such widely
divergent views. Heretofore the fee has
ranged from $3.50 to 5000, while Council
has Detitioned the Court to make the fee
$1,000.
To our mind it is more important that
we have high-class hotels than that we have
high license. If our hotels are mere tip
ping houses 81, 900 fee is not too high,
but if these fill all requirements of the Inn
and Tavern act, our Judgment Is that a
s., 900 fee is too high, at least for the pres
emit.
No section OF the Grimes Act is more
familiar to public servants than that which
makes it misdemeanor for a member of
Council, Board of Education, Chosen Free
holders, etc., to be interested IN contracts
with the body Of which he is member,
hence he who violates it will get little pub
lie sympathy by entering plea of ignor-
ance. Before we convict DR.. Reading of
violating this feature of the Crimes Act we
desire to have it determined what relation
the Ogden Fund has to the city treasury
The income of this fund. about $50
year, must be used to relieve the
worthy poor, lying in women, indigent
widows, etc., preferred and ii the cases
treated by DR.. Reading came within
the scope Of the wording of the Ogden
Trust, did DR.. Reading receive order No.
341 for $50 and No 343 for SIS on that
fund contrary to law?' This fund is dis
bursed under the terms Of a will, while
those from the general treasury are dis
bursed under the laws Of the State
At this stage Of the case it seems to us
that Council acted wisely in declining to
take summary action. The resolution loses
none of its force by standing awhile, and if
it bear the scrutiny and investigation Of
time and Judicial investigation, the DEMO
Graf viii gladly accord Mr.. Cattell full
measure of praise as public benefactor.
II there are any dollars that should re-
ceive more Jealous care than others, those
of this fund are the ones, and the public
servant who would inappropriate or care
lessly expend one of them is short in pub
lie pride and lacks right conception of pub
lie duty.

Some of the newspapers Of this stata are
consulting the dictionaries to find out what
a lobbyist is. Why don't they ask Colonel
Dick" Reading? He knows more about
the subject than all the dictionaries ever
written. In the meantime it might be we'll
to bear. in mind that there would be no
lobbyists il there were no rascals in the
Legislature" Exchange.
And there would be fewer rascals in the
legislature if the people who employ lobby
ists'' sought only righteous legislation for
themselves, or who sought to prevent the
people from obtaining just laws ftom the

MAKES
STRANGE DEFENCE
George Wood Claims He is Under In
fuence Of Imaginary Persons.
TELLS OF LITTLE BLACK MAN


SomervilIe, N. J., May 18.-A re
narkable psychological problem was
presented for the study of the many
alienists in the court when the trial
of George Wood for the murder of
George Williams, the grocer of Wat
chung, was resumed. Wood, who, ac-
cording to his counsel, is the victim of
dual personality, on one phase of
which he is under the influence of
purely imaginary persons, variously
described by Wood as Wolf, 2 Mack
and "a little black man." took the
stand in his own defense.
Throughout the long examination of
his counsel and the rigorous cross-ex-
animation of the prosecutor, Wood
preserved a perfectly calm demeanor
and replied to all questions promptly
and straightforwardly and in a fashion
logically consistent with his declared
belief that he is possessed of ssfamil-
lars whose mandates he is irresistibly
compelled to obey, and that of his ac-
lions when under their influence he
retains no recollection on regaining his
normal identity.
Wood said that he knew moth
ing of what occurred after "a
little black man began to drill a
lesson into my mind" when he was on
his way to Searsdale, Pa, until several
days later, when he found himself IN
the Tombs prison. New York, charged
with murder. Wood said he started
for Searsdale with Henry Wolf and a
man named Mack for the purpose of
getting $1,000 from Mack's father. They
left the train at railway junction.
where they had dinner and drank a
glass of beer. According to Wood
attorney, Wolf has no existence except
in Woods imagination.
while sitting in the cars" said
Wood, II felt a queer sensation. A
little dark man came in and about the
same time Wolf and Mack disap-
peared. The little black man and Wolf
afterward took a train. All this time
/ felt queer, and the black man seemed
to be drilling lesson into my mind.
That queer sensation continued until
the Sunday on which | found myself
in the Tombs in New York"
Wood denied that he had ever
known Williams or that he had ever
seen him to his knowledge. When the
direct question did you kill George
Williams?" was put to him by his
counsel. he replied: mo. positively,
did not
Wood said that Wolf was his evil
genius and had made much trouble
for him when Wolf ordered me to
do a certain thing | had to do it, = he
said. Il could not disobey him"
DR. Charles d. Lufburrow, city ply
stefan of Plainfeld, who examined
Wood after his arrest, testified that
he considered him insane. DR.. William
Steinach, of Bellevue hospital, said
that Wood gave no Indication of sham
ming insanity, and that he believed
him to be suffering from primary de-
mentia. DR.. George H. Parker, of New
York. and DR. Wilgus, of Brooklyn,
pronounced Wood to be an epileptic
and had no doubt that he was subject
to Authorizations.
