SCREEN
LAW is BAD.
George |. Records Opinion to
Jersey City Police But Must
be Enforced While on Books.

JERSEY CITY, July 13.-Chief of
Police Murphy, of Jersey City, didn't
get a lawyer to appear for the state
in the First Criminal court yester-
day in the prosecution of the saloon
keepers who were arrested last Sun
day for violating the new excise law.
The chief studied up the law on his
own hook and got a few pointers from
prominent lawyers before going into
court.
AS soon as the excise cases were
called the chief stepped forward and
said the police would withdraw the
complaints. The accused saloon keep
ers were tickled at the announcement,
and then they stopped smiling as the
chief remarked that something would
happen in the near future which
would leave no doubt as to the neces-
sity of saloon keepers removing their
screens on the Sabbath. The chief re-
ferred to the action of the excise.
board last night in passing a resolu-
ton providing that all screens shall
be removed and the interior of the
saloons exposed OF Sundays.
This resolution was adopted as the
: result of an opinion sent to the ex-
else commissioners by Corporation
Counsel George l.. Record yesterday.
Mr.. Record said also hat in his opin-
ion the anti-screen provision of the
law is clearly unconstitutional, but
SO long as !. is on the statute books
it is the duty of the board to enforce
it.
Acting Police Justice Robert Miller
dismissed the complaints against the
screened saloon keepers. The mag
istrate held James Waylett, ex-presi.
dent of the Liquor Dealers Associa-
ltion, and Joseph Friend, both of
whom are charged with selling intox-
icating drinks on Sunday, in $500
bail each to await the action of the
grand jury.
Ex-State Senator Robert S. Hud-
speth, counsel for the liquor dealers,
said he would certiorari last nights
action of the excise board to the SUI
preme court. He will set up that thu
anti-screen clause of the new law is
unconstitutional.

GOVERNORS DAY AT
STATE ENCAMPMENT
The Dryden Campaign Was the
Most Important Topic Dis
cussed at Sea Girt.

SEA GIRT, July 13:-Governor's
Day in the encampment of the New
Jersey National Guard dawned cloudy

not keep politicians from all parts of
the state from coming here to talk
state politics. The principal topic
was the United States senatorship
and the relative strength of Dryden
and Record. The general feeling
throughout the state, all reported,
was that if MI. Dryden was re-elect-
ed the state would go democratic next
year in the Gubernatorial fight. There
was a general opinion that the man
who will succeed Dryden has not yet
announced his candidacy. South
Jersey visitors declared that there is
a strong sentiment in favor of Stokes.
The governor reviewed the troops
from horseback after serving a lunch
con to his guests in the Governors
Cottage. He rode Trooper, his new
horse, and was attired in his riding
suit of blue, with a cap.
Lieutenant Murphy, of the regular
army, detailed to duty at this camp
under the provisions of the Dick Mil
itary bill, has been relieved. His
successor is Major David Shanks, of
Fort Hancock. Lieutenant Murphy
was unpopular with the militia offic-
ers and it was charged that he was
impolite even to Governor Stokes.
Major Shanks has won the respect OF
all of the officers.
Governor Stokes will give a lunch
con Saturday noon for General Grant.
His guests will include many prom
inent military men and state officials,

mot lost, but gone before" may be
truly written of the subject of this
sketch. Mrs. Spiller began and ended
her life on earth in Tallahassee. She
passed 81 mile-stones in our midst. At
the early age of IL years she was con-
verified and united with the Methodist
church Her Christian life was quiet,
but beautiful and consistent, None
knew her but TO love her; none named
her but to praise" She was greatly
beloved bya large circle of friends and
kindred. The house of God was her de-
light, and she was ever loyal to her
church. But few knew of her last ILL
ness, for her end came suddenly. She
was ready, and among her last words to
loved ones, she said: Il am going, but
it is all right" She leaves two sisters
and one brother, and two sons and one
daughter, and many dear friends to
cherish her memory. But while we
miss her in the home and in the church,
we shall know where to find her. such
characters never die. 4" These are they
who came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb. There
fore are they before the throne and
serve Him day and night in His tenn
pie"
Her husband died in 1881, leaving her
with three little children. These,
through the blessing of God, she brought
up in the fear of the Lord. They are
all members of the church, and seeking
to follow their dear mother, "even as
she also followed Christ" Her end
was peaceful and triumphant. "Prec-
ious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of His saints.
I'VE shall sleep but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no, never,
In the resurrection morn!
From the deepest caves of ocean,
From the desert and the plain,
From the valley and the mountain,
Countless tI,rOngs shall rise again.
1--WE shall sleep, but not forever,
In the lone and silent grave;
Blessed be the Lord that taketh,
Blessed be the Lord who gave.
In the bright, eternal city
Death can never, never come!
In His own good time He'll call US
From our rest to home, sweet home,

Tallahassee, Fla, March 80, 1906.

Tallahassee, Fla, March 80, 1906
To the Honorable Chairman and Mem
bers of the City Council:
Conference.-The ordinance to amend
an ordinance entitled "An ordinance to
amend section one of the laws and ordi.
nances of the city Of Tallahassee, Flor

proved July l4th, 1904, which passed
at a meeting Of the City Council on
March Sth, 1906, is hereby returned
without my approval and hereby veto
the same for the following reasons:
LIST This ordinance was drawn, as |
understand It, with special reference TO
reducing the compensation of the city
tax collector. ! do not think il fair to
elect any one to an office with the un-
Outstanding, when elected, that he is TO
receive certain compensation ard
afterwards deprive him Of it, nor do |,
on the other hand, think he should re-
celye any more. Furthermore, | think
you Will find this unconstitutional
%. The presumption was that this
measure was introduced i'm order TO save
the city money, estimated at the time
at about thrty.fvc dollars ($35) per
year; but II VIII really cost the city
about seventy dollars (S7OD per wear
more for tins year at least. Thus |
understand that about fifteen hundred
dollars tSl5CO) was collected up 10
March 3, 1906, and figuring from this
point he would be entitled 10 10 per
cent on this amount, or one hundred
and fifty dollars (Sl5Ol commission;
giving the collector 3 per cent on the
balance, estimated at seventeen thou
sand dollars $4,000, would amount to
five hundred and ten dollars (5lO) com
mission, or a tO,al Of commissions under
the new law of six hundred and sixty
dollars $500.
The law as it now stands is: 10 per
cent on the first 81, 900 equals $500 com
mission; 3 per cent on the next 81, 900
equals 500 commission: per cent bal
ance, estimated at $l4, $40, equals $500
commission, meking a total of $500 com
mission 10 be paid under the old law, or
saving TO the city of $40 under the
law as it now stands, not counting what
amount may have been collected during
the past month.
Sd. The law as it now stands con-
forms to the State and county law, and
a majority of the cities OF the State
have adopted the same.
The ordinance does not state at what
time It is to go into effect, If, how
ever, il is the voice of the Council that
the measure is not TO become effective
during the present term, l see no reason
why this amendment cannot stand.
