NEW LIQUOR LAWS
2 WILL BE URGED

TRENTON, Oct. 17.-Local option
will again be an issue this winter in
the New Jersey legislature, the
church and temperance people of the
state still being determined to secure
the enactment of a law which will
give to the individual communities
of the commonwealth the right to say
whether or not intoxicating liquors
shall be sold within their borders.
The defeat of the local option bill
last winter was largely due to the fact
that the church and temperance peo-
pie dropped the fight to secure the
enactment Of the bishops bill. They
o point out that so much of the
way of reform has been secured by
that measure that it is good time to
continue the crusade for local option,
but if that move is pushed too strong
ly it is likely that. the enactment of
a bill that will give local option in the
matter of Sunday selling will be ur-
gent.
In addition to this local option bat
tie there will also be considerable eff
fort for and against the bishops bill,
These conflicting interests are sure 10
make a lively liquor fight for the next
legislature to. deal with.

PRESIDENT BROKE LAW
BY CONTRIBUTING.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. lit
was reluctantly admitted at the civil
service commission that President
Roosevelt himself had been guilty of
violating his pet civil service law by
making a contribution of ST. to the
republican congressional campaign
committee fund in response to the
appeal of Chairman Sherman, asking
all. republicans to chip in that amount
to help to elect a republican majority
in the house.
1t was also admitted at the COM
mission that Chairman Sherman and
the other members of the congress
sional campaign committee, who are
members of congress or connected
with the executive departments OF
the government, had violated the law
in receiving the presidents contribu-
ton. Section IL of the civil service
law expressly prohibits any employe
of the executive departments, or any
one on the government pay rolls,
from soliciting or receiving contribu-
tions for political purposes from 9TH
err employees of the government, and
contains a similar prohibition as TO
making such contributions.
The civil service commissioners
would not say whether any action
would be taken against the guilty of
fcials. There is, however, no expec-
tation that anything will be done
about the matter.

CHAMPION PURITY,
FAMOUS CAT, DEAD
Valuable Blue Eyed White Persian,
Never Beaten Except by Her
Son, Dies at Elizabeth, N. j.

ELIZABETH, Oct. 17:-Champion
Purity is dead. Purity was perhaps
the most valuable and best all around
blue eyed white Persian show cat in
America. She died yesterday at the
home of her owner, Miss Pollard, in
Elizabeth.
She had a winning record in Scot
land, England and American hat is
unparalleled, having never been beat
en- until last year at the Madison
Square Garden show, when her kit
ten, Puritana, only ten months old,
took first honors with a score of 100
points by the three judges, which is
a perfect score.
Purity had won ~forty-nine prizes
in silver and gold cups, medals and
trophies. She the Atlantic Chal-
lenge cup for the best white male or
female, which had to be o three
times to be retained. For a female to
win this prize was regarded as a re-
markable performance. For four
years Purity had been one of the
leading features at the various
shows, and many ~fanciers have visit
ed Elizabeth to see her.
She was born in 1901, having been
bred by Miss Hunt, of Bothwick,
Scotland, by Champion White Friar
out of the famous Crystal. Miss Pol
lard has five of Purity's daughters
and q son, White Monk, who thus far
has an unbeaten record.

MAY HAVE CHEAPER
GAS IN THIS COUNTY

Intention of the Public Service
Corporation to give Middlesex and
Somerset counties cheaper gas as
soon as it has finished its pipe lines
in those sections of the state was
made known yesterday in the United
States court, when Judge Cross heard
argument in the Injunction proceed
ings Of Nichola II. B|orgenfeldt, of
New York, against the Public Service
TO restrain it from placing its pipes
in the highway neal his estate in Me-
tuchen.
1t was shown by the answer of the
defense that about 1000 feet of pipe
is laid a day and that the corporation
has specific Legislative powers to do
the work which is now so nearly
completed. The prosecution claims
that Borgenfeldt suffers damages to
the extinct of $4,000 because the dig
ging of the trenches keeps him from
free use of the road and i~nterferes
with a new road which has has built
near his estate, which consists of
about 100 acres.
Decision was reserved.

DR.. SNODGRASS VISITS
HIS FORMER CHARGE
Was Among the Pastors at the An
niversary of Centenary M. E.
Church Newark.

NEWARK, Oct. 17:-Seven of the
fourteen former pastors of Centenary
Methodist Episcopal church made re-
miniscent talks at the reunion service
of the fortieth anniversary in the
Sunday school chapel Monday night.
They were the Rev. John Brein, who
served from April, 1868, to April,
1869, and the Rev. H. G. Mcbride,
the Rev. Charles r. Barnes, the Rev.
c. e. Little, the Rev. w. L. Hoag-
land, the Rev. DR.. w. c. Snodgrass
and the Rev. DR.. Fred Clare Baldwin,
preceding the Rev. DR.. Henry Spell
meyer, now bishop, who served until
May, 1904.
The Rev. Charles l.. Mead, the pas
tor, presided at the exercises. Charles
e. Hill, a former president Of the
Newark common council, and a form
er superintendent of the Sunday
school OF the church, read a historic
al sketch of the Centenary church.
He told of the humble origin of the
church. In 1866 the late Rev. A. M.
Palmer, then city missionary, held
services under an elm tree at Belle
vile and Bloomfield avenues, on a
plot of ground held by James G..
Barnet, Enoch Bolles and David
Campbell, as trustees. The first SER
was preached on August 5,
1866, by Mr.. Palmer's son, the Rev.
DR.. A. j. Palmer, of the New York
conference, then a student at Drew
Seminary. Later a frame church
building was erected and the Rev.
John Brien was the first regular pas
tor. The present stone church edi-
flee, at Summer avenu and Kearny
was dedicated on February 90,
1888, the cornerstone having been
laid by Bishop Harris On Thanksgiv-
ing Day, 1886. The enlarged Sunday
school building was occupied in jan
uary, 1903. The grounds, buildings
and furniture are valued at 500, 900.
The Rev. MI. Mcbride, second pas
tor of the church, sang in a sweet
voice the hymn, 1.-THE Golden Land
the people joining in the Choir
us, and, like the other former pas
tors, spoke of some of the old church
members. The Rev. Mr.. Mead re-
quested all who attended services I'M
der the old elm tree to arise, and six
or eight stood up.
Last night the Rev. DIR. J. M.
Meeker, presiding elder of the New
ark district, presided at the India
service, and Bishops Fowler
and Oldham made addresses. An In
dia jubilee hymn, composed by the
Rev. John L. Dodd, was sung.

SUBMARINE
is WRECKED.
Destroyer, With Fourteen
Men, PIunges Under Expert
menting in Deep Water.

: PARIS, Oct. I'm. Thomson the
minister of marine, has received an Oh
fetal dispatch from the naval ON
mandant at Biserta, Tunis. confirming
the sinking Of the submarine Lu.ln'
The message says:
"The submarine Lutin while eXercls-
ing off the jetties disappeared from
the view of the accompanying tug.
Search and dragging operations We're
begun Immediately. and resistance was
felt at a depth of 1870 feet neal the
place where the Lutin sank"
The submarine left Biserta for plung-
ing experiments. Signals received re-
ported her disappearance. Two torpe-
do boats and three tugs have gone out
in search of the submarine.
1t now appears almost certain, ac-
cording to news received, that the
crew of the Lutin has suffered a hor-
rible fate similar to that which over
took the crew of the submarine Far
fadet here last year. The crew of the
Lutin numbered fourteen men Under
command of Lieutenant Phoepon.
Admiral Bellue. commander of the
Tunis naval division, who went II on
board a tug, returned at a late hour
and said that owing to the heavy seas
and the obscurity it was impossible to
continue salvage operations until dawn.
The tugs and torpedo boats, however,
remained near the place where the Lu-
tin made her final plunge all through
the night. One of these boats reports
that its drag encountered resistance as
though q vessel We're lying at the bot
tom.
The British consul general here pro-
posed to the French resident general
to telegraph to the British admiralty
at Malta for salvage assistance. This
was accepted, and powerful sal
wage apparatus will he sent at once to
the scene of the catastrophe.

GIRL
THROWS ACID

To restrain her in her efforts to
beat out her brains against the sides
of a cell in the police station at Sta
pleton, S. l., a police matron and sew
eral policemen were guarding Annie
Jasner, a pretty young woman, to-
day after she had endeavored to
blind Ernest Wildman, of No. 22 Ca
nal street, Stapleton, because Wild
man had welded another woman.
When arrested after her attack
on Wildman in front of his home last
night Miss Jasner said that'she lived
at No. 26 West One Hundred and
Sixteenth street. This address, how
ever, is said to be fictitious by the
Manhattan police.
According to what the police could
learn from her in her excited talk af-
ter her arrest, Miss Jasner heard last
night that Wildman had married an
other girl last month and that he was
living with his bride on Staten Island.
Aiming herself with a fruit jar filled
with muriatic acid Miss Jasner went
to Staten Island after dark last night
and took her stand in front of Wild
mans house. For more than an hour
she waited, with the acid concealed
under her wrap.
After a time Wildman came from
his home, and Miss Jasner stopped
him. For a few minutes she talked
with him, and he told her about his
marriage. Then the girl drew the
acid from it's hiding place and dashed
a quantity of it at his face. Wildman
lodged, and the fluid struck him in
the back of the head, running down
his shoulders and soaring his back to
the waist. He fell to the ground in
his agony, and the girl fled.
She made for the railroad tracks
and ran across in front of an express
train. So close did the engine come
to her that it brushed her skirts.
Running up the railroad tracks,
Miss Jasner took her stand on the
station to wait for a train to St.
George. She was nervous, and paced
the platform until she attracted the
attention of a policeman. The police
man was about to arrest her when
men ran up and asked that she
be arrested. They had witnessed the
assault.
The girl, now hysterical, was taken
the station house, where she gave
her name and the address which is
said to be fictitious. The she was
placed in charge of the matron, where
she developed such hysteria that she
had to be controlled to keep her from
herself.
