SEE POLITICS IN MOVE
TO STOP BILLED PLAY

PLAINFIELD, Nov. 5:-Some per-
sons here believe that politics is back
of the announced intention of Mayor
James F. Buckle to stop a perform
ance scheduled to take place in the
new Plainfield theatre next Friday
night. The play is distasteful to neg
roes, and as there are 1900 colored
voters here, holding the balance of
power in the congressional fight, it is
believed that the republican machine
leaders saw in this fact an opportun-
ity to bid for their support by having
the republican a bar the play
from this city.
The machine has done it's best to
convince the negroes that the Nc
Cardell-McMurray combination is
their best friend. 1t provided for a
special massmeeting for the colored
men, bringing special speakers from
Washington, ID. c., and arranging for
a banquet for thirty or more colored
leaders at the Hotel Kensington.
MARITIME, the democratic candidate
for congress in this district, is a pop
ular nan with the colored citizens.
1t is believed here that some mem
bers of what is called the "Get-To-
B6JHGT OluD, W WHICH iTleu anu true
machine men belong, induced a col
ored man to go to Mayor Buckle and
protest against the play. Forthwith,
the mayor acted. He conferred with
the manager of the theatre, who
didn't suspect for one moment that
there was any possible political sig
nificanec behind the move. The may
or, himself, says there is none. But
the hitch came when the manager of
the house said the show is booked to
go n, and go on it will.
At noon Saturday Mayor Buckle
summoned the theatre manager to his
office and notified him that he would
not allow the play to go on, and that
his decision was final.
Mayor Counihan says that the
show people will hold the city liable
for damages.
The republican bosses are going
about voluntarily denying that the
mayors nov is a sop to the negro
voters.

DISCUSSED The
new SPELLING
Supervising Principals Of County
Schools in Session in New
Brunswick Saturday.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 81
In discussing simplified spelling at
the fall meeting of the Supervising
Principals Association held in COM
mon council chambers Saturday
morning, Professor Armstrong stated
that he was personally in favor of the
change but did not believe that it
should begin in the schools.
High school training was discussed
by Professor Sponsor, of Trenton.
who was present on an invitation ex-
tended by Mr.. Willis. He is an as
sistant inspector of high schools to
Professor Bevier, of this city.
Professor Lipman, of the local ex-
pertinent station, was next intro
duced, and he spoke for some time
on the introduction of agriculture
into the schools. His views were en-
dorsed by the supervising principals
and an effort will be made to have it
taught in the county schools.
Suggestions Made.
When Professor Lipman had COM
pleted speaking, Superintendent vii
lis suggested that a series of six talks
on agriculture be given at different
times of the year to the pupils by the
supervising principals. The first year
talks, he said, could be on soil, plants,
garden, field, orchard and on the enc
mics of the orchard; the second on
farming and the third on dairy.
A motion was carried authorizing
Mr.. Willis to appoint a committee to
wait on Professor e. B. Voorhees,
with regard to holding Saturday lee
lures at the station.
Some questions concerning farming
were asked and Mr.. Willis asked how
many farmers there were in the audi
ence. There were nine.
Professor Louis Bevier congratu-
lated the members of the association
for the work they are doing.
Ie was decided to hold the County
Board of Education meeting on Sat
urday this year.

PUBLIC OPINION.
editor FYENING NEms.

MI w . - p A. n r r.
l notice in Saturdays issue of yoir
commendable paper a communication
signed Olat. relating to the grant
ing OIL licenses to several people. Not
only do l fully agree with the views
OF the writer, but in my opinion, the
Ietter is far too mild and is more than
lenlnet with our (worthy) Board of
Excise Commissioners.
Would it not have been better pol
icy for this board to wait until after
election before granting any licenses
or transfers at all?
Everybody in this community who
has the welfare of the city at heart,
feels mortified at the way the excise
commissioners have acted.
! remember we'll the promise made
by some of the members of this board
not to grant any new licenses for a
year-how well this promise was
kept the records will and do show.
We read SO much about all of that,
that it makes one ask, when reading
the account of the granting of licen-
SEES, when will it all end?
Who would have thought that even
the member of the sixth ward, whom
all know to be free and clear of any
faint. whom everybody points out as
a man of great moral character.
should lend his aid in this work of
rushing through licenses that were
previously laid on the table because
remonstrances were presented at the
time.
If that sixth ward member would
not have been present at the meeting
when these cases came up, the licen-
SEES could never have been granted,
and 1t is a surprise to me how this
member was present to act when the
others saw fit to stay away.
Where, oh where, was your think
ing cap that day, Mr.. Sixth Warder?
Don't you feel ashamed of your.
self? Don't you wish that you would
have needed the cry of some unfort-
unates and remained away from that
meeting? Could you not see that
your presence was desired because of
your excellent reputation?
Mark my words, Mr.. Editor, it will
only be a matter of a few DAYS when
more applications and transfers will
be asked for and granted. 1t may
be that the board will have to call an
extra session SO as to be within the
iC'tCi VI 'hS 1Ah ~ us w COlllDll Will
the requirements of advertising, etc.,
but they cannot blind the people all
the time and the sooner this board is
done away with the better all around.
There is no other way of coming to
any conclusion of this matter that
would show a trace of extenuating
circumstances-can you say today
that the board granted these licenses
out of pure charity or for humanities
sake?
What can you think of this board
that grants a license for a ''hotel''
with nothing TO it but the bare living
rooms upstairs?
The time is not far off, Mr.. Editor,
when the people will arise en- masse
and do away entirely with a body of
men who apparently do not care a
rap, after they are in office, what the
public thinks. Yes, it is high time
we had a change and it cannot come
too soon to please.
One of your admirers for advocat-
ing clean politics and clean men for
positions.

FOR ELECTION LAW BREAKERS.
Monmouth Committee Places Detec-
tiYcS at EVcrY Poll.


tives at Every Poll.
FREEHOLD, Nov. 5:-The COM
mittee of fifteen met here on Thurs
day afternoon and heard the reports
of their committee on detectives, who
are to be placed at every polling place
in the county. Special efforts are to
be made to prevent offences against
the election law as well as to arrest
criminals. 1t is expected that a num-
Der of arrests will be made and JUS
tees of the peace have been arranged
for in the various localities, who shall
hold the prisoners on bail.
1t is understood, however, that in
all cases there will be a public hear
ing before the justice concerning the
amount of bail, and witnesses will be
called by the several justices who
may be supposed to know anything
about the furnishing of money in or
to the Monmouth county workers Of
either party.
1t is thought that some of the can
didates for Office who have been SO
very careful not to commit them
selves may at some of these hearings
be placed upon the witness stand to
testify as to what they may know
concerning contributions from post
masters, candidates and others, and
to whom these contributions were
paid in Monmouth county, by whom
di%sbursed, and to whom and for what
purpose.

DEFENDS RATE BILL.
Its Success Predicted by Senator Dol
liver of Iowa.

Washington. A large audience
greeted Mr.. Dolliver from the Senate
galleries when he rose to speak on
the Dolliver-Hepburn bill.
The senator outlined the bill, point
ing out wherein ii amends the existing
interstate law. saying that, after all,
the changes were comparatively few.
Instead of undermining the law the
bill fortifies it," he said. and he de-
clared that If the present law had been
treated with the reverence and sane
tty it deserved the American people
would have approached the subject in
d frame of mind different from that
which now prevails.
He said that the railroad companies
we're unable to protect themselves
against the "fagrant abuses" of the
private car companies under section !
IF the present law. He had not IA
vored the abolition of these cars, but
he did believe that the car companies
should be regulated by making respon-
sible the railroad companies employing
them.
Speaking of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, he discussed Judge
Grosscup's recommendation for spe-
cific court, but he did not accept the
theory advanced for the reason that
he considered the present machinery
sufficient for all purposes. He recog-
nized the fact that ii had become FASH
ionable TO speak slightingly of the In
terstate commission and defended the
body against such attacks.
Mr.. Dolliver declared he did not eX-
pect a protracted vendetta between the
railroads and the business community,
believing that when the law was en-
acted it would be observed by carrier
and shipper alike.
He predicted that within five years
there would be boards of arbitration IN
every traffic center of the country. so
that appeals to the commission would
be the rule rather than the exception.
He recognized. the fact that the ques-
ton of appeals to the court from thS
orders of the commission was the BAT
tleground and he declared that as the
bill stands it leaves the door to the
court. open for the protection of all
constitutional rights.

RAILROAD BILL
ATTACKED BY SENATOR FORA.
kER IN A LONG SPEECH.
HE PREFERS ELKlNs LAW
Declares Hepburn Bill to Be Rcvolu.
tionary in Character-Elkins Law
Sufficient II Properly Enforced

Washington.-For three hours lack.
ing few minutes, Wednesday, Mr..
Foraker held the attention of the Sen.
ate while he read carefully prepared
speech on the railroad rate question.
His speech was protest against any
general legislation, on the theory that
the existing Elliins law could be SO eX
tended as to make 1t answer all the
requirements.
Mr.. Foraker conceded that some evils
exist in connection with the railroads.
but urged that all of them could be
more effectively met by amending the
Elkins law than by passing the pend
Ing bill. He announced his regret at
differing from the President, but said
he could not see his way clear to pur.
sue any other course.
He gave a general review of lhe his.
tory of the railroad development of the
country and passed to the evils the
system, which he said are necea arily
incident to the upbuiding of sd vast
an interest. His attitude toward the
pending railroad rate bill was correctly
outlined in his first paragraph, in
which he said of the bill:
1T is so contrary to the spirit of
our institutions and of such drastic
not in its immediate effect, at least
as precedent, the consequences are
likely 10 be the most unusual and far
reaching"
He discussed the railroad evils as of
three classes, excessive rates, rebates
and determinations.
He found little to complain of under
the first heading, but said there are
some instances OF charges that are too
high and he thought a prompt and eff
fective remedy should be provided.
A more serious evil he found in re-
bates, and he traced the present ex-
tensive railroad consultations to the
fact that the Supreme Court decisions
against pooling had left the roads
without protection from the rebate
system except TO resort to some gen
eral understanding. Referring to the
Elkins law he said:
There has been no serious attempt
to enforce this law to prevent discrim-
nations as to localities, but a glance
at its provisions will suffice TO show
that it is as broad, direct. explicit and
efficient to remedy that kind of an evil
wherever it may exist, as it has been
found to be as to personal discrimina-
tiors. That the law has not been
tested in this respect is not due 10 any
fault of the law, but because no one
has seen fit to invoke it.
1.-The fault" he added, sis not with
the existing law, but with the officials
who have not enforced it,"
Announcing his own position, he
said:
81 believe in the court plan, as con-
tradistinguished from the rate-making
plan, not alone becouse it is much sim
pier, much more expeditions, much
more efficient. and without expense to
the shipper, but because. in addition
to all that it avoids all legal and con-
stitutional questions. while the rate.
making plan as set forth in this bill
encounters number of such questions
that are of the most serious character
and some of them, in my judgment,
fatal"

AUDITORIUM SITE.
Committee of Denver City Council
Agrees on Location.

Denver-The joint committee of the
City Council yesterday recommended
to the Council and the mayor the
ground on the west side of Fourteenth
street, between Curtis and Champa
streets, as a site for the proposed au-
ditorium. The price TO the city Is
100000. which would leave S295,000
for building. A majority of the Coun-
Gil has signiiied its willingness TO
adopt the recommendation. AS the Sc
lection narrowed to the one site, there
is little else to be done. although the
council and the mayor favored going
further up town if property at a rea-
sonable rate could be had, which was
not possible, however.
A pumber of property owners inter
esated in property near at hand are
understood to have gone to the rescue
in the case of the site recommended
and reduced the price to the figure
named.
