ouR INpusrRIAL SCHOOL.

THE report OF the superintendent OF
4 the Ferris Industrial School shows
that the institution is continuing the
good work I'm which it has been en-
gagged FOR many years. It speaks vol
umes for the management that only
four Of the ia boys committed TO the
school during the past five years
should have been sent to prison for
offences committed after leaving the
school.
when we consider the number of
tough young boys who having gotten
beyond the control of their parents. are
committed for discipline and reforma-
tion TO the Ferris School the result is
remarkable.
The management IS very anxious to
separate the older from the younger
boys-but are prevented by lack OF
means. They are also hampered in
the manual training department which
should be one Of the most important
features OF the Institution.
In the report Of the grand jury made
in February. 1904 the management OF
the school was commended, but some
questions were asked I'm regard to
financial management. The Finance
committee Of the school has COW
cred this point fully and show IN It's
statementthat the Ferris School is run
on very economical basis, in fact
only two or three schools in the coun-
try do the work for less money pei
capita and they are enabled to do II
by reason Of having a much larger
number OF boys. The Legislature
should by an means authorize the
Levy Court to increase the appropria-
ton for the industrial school.

BLACK HAND THREATENS PRIEST


Trenton Pastor Ignored Letter and
Two Men Tried to Enter His House.
Trenton. N. j., Jan. 23.-An incident
which happened yesterday brought out
the fact that Rev. Father Pozzle, pas
tor of St. Joachims Roman Catholic
church, received on December 81 q
threatening letter, signed Black
Hand" This letter, the postmark Of
which was not discernable, directed
the priest to leave $500 in a secluded
spot, and warned him to say nothing
to any one about it. Father Pozzie
paid no attention to the letter aud
nothing happened until yesterday,
when two men appeared in the neigh
borhood of his residence and inquired
at an Italian store as to where the
priest lived. They were directed to
the priests residence by a boy. They
had with them a letter purporting TO
be signed by. a Philadelphia priest,
commencing them as worthy OF char
ity. Father Pozzie's assistant was sat
isfied that the letter was begun one
and refused the men admission TO the
house. The men then became insolent,
and as they could not get admission
to the house they went off.
Father Pozzie says he is satisfied
that no Italian in Trenton has had
any connection with the matter. The
priest is well liked here and has har-
monious relations with his congrega-
ton.

Il is too late now to carry out the

his friends are prepared to stubborn

That being true, then the Regulars

to do this? We know that the Unions
cannot afford their dictatorial attitude.
for It is the subject OF sharp criticism
from many Of their followers. but that
is not the question. It is what ought
the Regulars to do? And we repeat
that in our judgment they can better
afford TO say TO the Union Republic

owe duty to the State to organize
the Legislature; We have maintained
our stand for the Speaker pro TEN.

that any proper solution would have
given us the choice OF that officer. Now
we propose to allow you to organize
the Senate from top to bottom. and
we refuse TO take any place in the or

Certainly for the Regulars to allow
the Unions to name the presiding OFF,

OF the claims undoubtedly are just

We cannot object to this procedure

BRYAN IS LIE lEAnER.

VHTHILE politics may be strenuous
w business. yet It has its pleasant
moments when tension is relaxed and
opponents pause to shake hands and
to review their grounds Of agreement.
Such was the case when on Saturday
3ir. Bryan called on the President a
visit which resulted IN a very pleasant
chat IN which Nr. Bryan found NUM-
erous points in the Presidents policy

Mr.. Bryan and Senator Cullom en-
gagged in pleasantries. and when the
former remarked that he was growing

answered: "yes. you are growing IN

great deal Of truth in the remark. Mr..
Bryan has consented to let the free

on many Of the planks Of the Kansas
City platform. It Is no disparagement
10 either 8ir. Roosevelt or Mr.. Bryan to
say that time and the stress OF great
affairs have tempered their judgments
and steadied their hands
It was predicted that with the nomi-
nation Of Judge Parker Bryan would
pass into eclipse and be forgotten. But
such has not proved to be the case
Parker has already faded into a mem
ory; Mr.. Cleveland is held in esteem be-
cause Of certain things he accomplish

nence he holds today is because he oc-
cupied the White House for eight
years.

THE scenes Of violence and blood

burg send ones mind back in search Of
a parallel one does not have to go
far to bring to mind the French Revo-
luton. The tide Of public opinion may
be damned up. but when the overflow
comes there is certain to be deluge.
The absolutism OF the Czar is an
anachronism. It is medievalism car
ried into the twentieth century.

whether these thousands OF subjects
may approach their sovereign and
place in his hands a humble petition.
Immediately they are asking no more.
They have grievances, but they are
willing 10 leave their adjustment to
the Car II they can onlyreach him.
But the Czar is a sacred parsonage;
the people have no voice IN their gov
ernment and they cannot even reach
the source OF government by petition.
II they presume too far they find ma
chinN guns barring their way. Some
times the populace is like huge ami
NAL which does not know its own
power. which when goaded into mad
ness becomes terrible. This was what
happened when bakers and cart drlv-
ers headed the bowling mobs OF Paris,
slaughtered King and Queen reveled
IN an sorts OF excesses and terrified all
Europe. The monster had found its
power.
Reform or revolution IS bound to
come in Russia. The first IS demand

tide Of human progress has touched

AUTO CRASH KILLS
FRANK CROKER.
Son of Former Tammany
Boss Dies From Injuries
Received
CHAUFFEUR INSTANTLY KILLED

Daytonia, Fla. Jan. %. - While
ipeeding his racing automobile on the
beach, Frank Croker, eldest son Of
Richard Croker, Of New York, collided
with a motor cycle chair driven by
Newton Stanley. Mr.. Croker received
injuries from which he died. His
chaffeur Raoul. was thrown 40 scct in
the air and landed on his forehead.
killing him instantly. Stanley had
both legs broken.
Mr.. Croker's death came as a stun
ming blow to bis friends here. for it
was reported by his physicians that he
was doing fairly well and that they
hoped for the best From the first DR..
Parks and DR.. Miller realized that Mr..
Croker's injuries were very severe and
the shock great It was evidently from
the effects of the tremendous shock
that he died. The young man was put
under the influence Of ether by the
surgeons and broken and splintered
bones in the leg and arm were set, his
broken ribs we're bandaged and bad
scalp wound was dressed. After the op-
Grafton the patient seemed to be rest
ing well, but was in a semi-conscious
state. Later he became entirely un-
conscious and remained so until his
death.
Mr.. Croker was in his racer. an 80
horsepower machine, with his me-
chanician Raoul, and was going a 40
seconds to mile clip. Just ahead Of
l,ir,, l., tbo eor,o 5frootso,, oor,,iror ~,
the beach from Daytonia to Ormond,
was Stanley. on a motor cycle which
was wobbling badly. Mr.. Croker was
driving his racer and started to turn
out of the way Of the motor cycle. As
he did so one of the front tires of his
machine flew off and It plowed into the
sand. The machine turned over three
times. The first turn threw Mechani-
clan Raoul, and the machine crushed
his life out instantly. Mr. Croker went
out on the second turn. and sustained
a fracture Of the right leg at the knee,
a fracture Of all the bones of the left
arm at the elbow, and three broken
ribs. One Of his ears is also badly
torn.
The machine in turning went toward
the ocean and was partly submerged
by the tide.
An examination of Frank Croker's
racer disclosed a most complete wreck.
The left front tire is gone, and both
sides of the front axle between the
springs and hubs are bent and twisted
so that both wheels dish out. All of
the framework is gone or badly torn,
and many parts of the engine are
broken or twisted. 1t is said that with
each of the three complete turns made
by the machine it jumped higher into
the air. Experts estimate that young
Croker was driving his machine at
speed of a mile in 40 seconds. They
say that no machine ever built could
stand the strain of a sharp turn while
going at that speed. Mr.. Stanley, on
the motor cycle, was directly in the
course of the racer. and to Mr.. Croker
it must have appeared almost certain
death to attempt to make the sharp
turn TO get out of the way Of the small
machine ahead of him.
Mrs. Richard Croker, mother CT the
unfortunate young man, and his sister
were in Jacksonville. They came here
on the first train, and returned with
the body this morning.
