Sidewheeler from across the creek was

wild pitches came when they did the
most good for the Islanders. Scott, on
the other hand, was strong in the
pinches and pulled out of some bad

Scores in Sixth.
Neither side chalked up any runs
until the sixth when the Islanders got
two and Davenport managed to sneak
over one. Crockett was the first man
up. Davy hit long one out to Swain,
who, after a run, dropped the ball.
Burg sacrificed, advancing him, and
Curtis then cut out a clean single and
Dayey scored. Harrod also singled,
but Eul and Mccormick were easy.
The Islanders came to the scratch in
grand style. Mcconnell looked them
over carefully and walked. Scott flew
out to Baker trying to sacrifice. Then
Swain felt it was up TO him to make
good for the ball he dropped in right
and slashed a pretty single to center,
putting Mcconnell on third. Swain
stole and Baker worked in one of his
wild pitches ard Mac came home.
Shaub also singled and Swain count

that inning and the game. The score:

RIPARIAN BID.
is DEFENDED.
Commissioner CIOke on Stand Be-
fore Investigating Committee
Brought In Much Revenue.

TRENTON, Oct. 20.-The legisla-
tive Joint committee which has been
Investigating the business methods
of the state board of riparian com
missioners, resumed its sessions here
Yesterday with Commissioner Will
liam Choke, of this city, a member of
the board, as the principal witness.
Previous to the beginning of the
inquiry a meeting of the board was
held with Governor Stokes presiding.
The Newark Chemical Company made
application for a grant along the Pas
sale river, but it vas decided not to
allow it at this time, in view of the
fact that the investigating committee
had asked that no further grants be
allowed pending the completion of
the work of probing.
Commissioners Cloke's testimony
was in defense of the work of the RI
parian board in the past. He read a
long statement in this connection. He
said that the policy of the board in
the past had brought to the state mil
lions of dollars in revenue, increased
it's ratables by millions more and had
added greatly to the population. Dur
ing the last ten years, he said, the
improved riparian property had paid
taxes at the rate of $40, 600 4
year, during the next ten years the
taxes would amount to $50, 900, 900
annually and in thirty years the taxes
would amount to $50, 600, 900 a year.
He denounced the proposed plan
of having The state retain permanent
ownership and only lease riparian
lands, and pointed to improvements
made by railroads and other corpora
lions. He also declared that many
wrong impressions had gone out con-
corning the granting of certain ripar-
ian rights and that there had been no
unfair discrimination in the prices
charged.
Riparian Commissioner Robert
Williams, of Paterson, was the next
witness. He said that perpetual lea
SEES of riparian lands should not be
allowed, but that both simple leases
and leases convertible into grants
should be limited to twenty years.
The investigation will be continu-
ed next Friday.

CLERK GONE
Relatives and Friends Worried Over HI;
Absence.

PLAINFIELD, Oct. 20.-Relatives
and friends are worried over the mys-
terious absence of G. Elmer Squier,
night distributing clerk at the Plain
field postofice. He has not been seen
by his mother, Mrs. Harriet Squier,
of Grove street, with whom he lived,
since Tuesday, and she is at a loss to
account for his whereabouts.
When Squier, who 81 about twenty
four years old, did not appear at the
postoffice last night, as usual, Assist
ant Postmaster Martin dispatched a
messenger to hunt him up. After a
diligent search the young man could
not be found. Rev. j. o. McKelvey,
of Warren Chapel, who was
greatly interested in him, has insti.
tuted a search, but efforts to locate
him prove futile.
Postmaster Bird found that every
thing is all right as concerns Squier's
duties at the postofice, Rpd no sus-
picion of wrongdoing, at east so far
as his position is concerned, has been
attached to his sudden disappearance.
For some time Squier, it is said, has
had a yearning to go West, and some
of his intimate friends believe that he
may have taken it in his head to- take
his departure without bidding ANod.

PULPITS FOR MEN,
NOT FOR WOMEN.

SPRING LAKE, Oct. 20.-The six
ty-fifth annual conference of the
Methodist Protestant church emphat-
ically put it's foot down against the
ordination of as ministers.
The matter has been an interesting
subject for several years. The stand
will only affect one church at pres
ent.
Miss Emma E. Nutter, of the Peo-
pies church, Atlantic City, has been
serving that charge for two years,
and she will probably be returned,
as Miss Nutter would not be eligible
for ordination for three years. Rev.
DR.. j. H. Clark, of Camden, and Rev.
j.. B. Nixon, of Moorestown, pleaded
with the conference in favor of the
ordination of women, but when ii
came to vote a majority was against
the proposition. The report of the
stationing committee, which will be
made today, is awaited a%nxiously as
to whether Miss Nutter will be re-
turned to her station.
1t is probable that the question OF
meeting the, M. p. conference win
the United Brethren and Congrega-
tionalists will go over to another
year. Rev. Charles r. Jones, super
intendent of the Congregational mis-
sion, addressed the conference on the
subject, and brought greetings from
the Pennsylvania Congregational I'M
ion.
The Preachers Aid Society report
ed $4,000 invested in good securi-
ties. The interest on this money is
used for the help of incapacitated
preachers.
Millville was unanimously selected
as the next place Of holding the con-
ference-the third Wednesday in Oc-
tober, 1907.

INSTITUTE
Another Meeting of Those Interested to be
He'd Soon.

A meeting of the directors of the

formed in this city has been called
for Monday night. A number of
meetings have already been held by
those interested in the new venture,
and Secretary e. L. Gridley reports
that the plan is now well under way.

tanning both educational and athletic
departments, will be opened for the
young men of the city. The struc-
ture will be conducted on the same
lines as a Young Mems Christian AS

will probably be an important one,
as some interesting suggestions are
to be discussed.

O'cONNOR a ~
SOME FAMOUS HYMNS.

SOUTH ORANGE, Oct. 20.-Bish-
Cd John J. O'Connor, of the Newark
Catholic diocese, has placed an inter-
dict on the hymns, Nearer, My God,
to Thee and Lead, Kindly Light"
the latter written by Cardinal New
man. The first hymn is barred alto
gether, while the other may be sung
only after services.
Bishop O'Connor, who has sent the
order to the rectors ofNthe various
churches in his diocese last night
said:
1.-The rule of the church fofbids the
singing of any hymn or anything else
that is not part of the liturgical SER
vice, and of course Nearer, My GOD,
to Thee is no more a part OF the sert
vice tina is In the Sweet Bye and
Bye Aside from the church rule,
this hymn is purely sentimental, and
| can see no reason for its rendition.
Lead, Kindly Light is an appeal for
spiritual light, but there is no cause
for singing it in our churches"
