GOVERNOR HALTS ON
EXTRA SESSION CALL
Wants a Request from Paterson as
Well as from Newark Before Law
Makers Are Convened.

TRENTON, Sept. 7.-Governor
Stokes wrote today to Mayor Dore-
mus, of Newark, and Mayor Johnson,
of Paterson, relative to the request
of the former that a special session
of the legislature be called in accord
ance with an agreement entered into
between the two cities last March to
the publication of the Passaic river.
Newark and Paterson having failed
to agree upon a bill, Mayor Doremus,
on behalf of the citizens of Newark,
asked that the session be called with
out further delay. In reply to this.
Governor Stokes called attention to
the terms of the agreement of last
March, and continuing his letter,
said:
As yet | have received no request
from the city of Paterson for the call
ing of an extra session, which request
is a part of the agreement made last
spring. | understand that Newark
and Paterson have had a conference
on this subject, and are e~ndeavoring
to reach some agreement as to the
character of legislation desired. 1t
would seem to be that the cooper
alton of the affected municipalities is
necessary in this case to make a spe-
cvial session of the legislature fruit
full and effective. A special session
should be called for the purpose of
carrying out agreements on this sub
iect and not to a%ggravate differences.
| would scarcely be warranted in put
ting the state to the expense of an eX-
ira session without some reasonable
assurance that the interested parties
would assist in making it successful.
For that reason it seems to me that
the call should be deferred until the
agreement of last March has been
carried out by Paterson uniting with
Newark in the request. | have ac-
eordingly written to Mayor Johnson,
of Paterson, calling his attention TO
the matter and to the request made
by the citizens of Newark, and ask
ing his prompt consideration.
In his letter to Mayor johnson the
asked to be advised at an
early date as to the disposition of the
city of Paterson toward the proposed
session.

AMERICAN
YACHTS WIN
lake All Three Races from Ger
mans Vim, of New York,
Wins Twice.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Sept. T.
The third race of the series between
German and American yachts for the
Roosevelt cup was Won by the Vim.
owned by Commodore Park of the
American Yacht club of New York.
The Vim was also the winner of the
second race of the series.
The victory of the New York boat
was made certain Il mile and Il half
from the finish by the withdrawal Of
the AUX, owned by Charles Francis
Adams I'd of Boston and the winner
of the first race of the series. The
AUX withdrew because she fouled the
Vim. The action of her owner in vol
unfairly surrendering his opportunity
of taking the race was generally hail
ed as Il most conspicuous sportsman
like act. The withdrawal obviated the
usual contest over Il protest.
The lilly VI. (German) was the sec
ond boat to finish, but n protest was
entered against her by the Wannssee
(Germam because of Il foul which. it
was alleged, took place on The line just
as the boats started. The matter was
taken up by the racing committee, ana
Il decision will be announced l,iter. Inc
Caramba (American) was the tHlrq
boat across the line, . minutes 40 sec
onds behind the lilly. Next came lhe
Wannssee, t%ifty-one seconds behindthe
Caramba. while the German yacht
Glueckauf brought up in the rear, near
ly two minutes astern of the Wanns-
see.
The race was practically Il contest
between the American boats Vim and
AUX, and it has been many IL day since
the spectators witnessed Il yacht race
as closely and cleverly fought. On ac-
count of the withdrawal of the AUX
there was no way of ascertaining
which of the two would have won the
race. AT windward work the Vim was
easily the Auk's superior.
OF the German challengers the best
sailing was by the Tilly VI. The other
German boats, the Wannssee and
Glueckauf ", We're always in the
background.
Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., and staff
witnessed the regatta from the bridge
of the naval brigade yacht Inca. Upon
the return of the Inca to the harbor
the flag officers of the Eastern Yacht
club made Il formal call upon the gov-
ernor, and this visit was returned by
the governor, who went ABOARD the
flagship Constance.
The governor spoke briefly and com
mended the craftsmanship of the Ger
man yachtsmen and referred to the
German emperor as the Roosevelt of
Europe. He then proposed the toast

CANNOT STOP
ABUSE OF INSANE
Jersey Hospital Managers Session
DisCIoses COnditisns Where
Tramps Get Best Treatment.

TRENTON. Sept. 1.-THE regular
session of the state hospital man
ayers took place yesterday afternoon.
A letter was received from the Rev.
DR.. George b. Wight, commissioner
of charities and corrections, in refer
ence to the condition of the insane
department in the Salem county aims
house at Woodston. The commission
urged immediate action in the mat
ter.
The managers of the state hospital
have no authority to transfer the pa
tients from the Salem county institu-
ton and do not see how they have
any power to act on the present case.
While the managers are familiar with
the condition of affairs in the Wood
ston almshouse, the matter of acting
in such cases does not come within
their jurisdiction.
A letter is being prepared which
will be sent to Commissioner Wight
in answer to his communication to
the managers This letter will state
that the state hospital managers have
not the power to interfere with the
board of freeholders of Salem county,
which is responsible for the condi-
lions now existing in the county in
sane department.
1t is alleged that the department
for the insane in the almshouse has
been neglected by the Salem county
board of freeholders and that the
insane patients of the county do not
receive proper food or treatment. The
patients are kept in cells, and it is
claimed that even tramps in the aims
house are given better food than the
insane inmates.
The state hospital managers have
already demonstrated with the Salem
county board of freeholders regard
ing this matter. The conditions at
Woodston have become known
throughout the state and some want
the state funds discontinued and the
patients transferred to the state hos
pital in this city. Immediate action
is claimed to be imperative so that
the condition of the patients in the
Salem county institution may be inn
proved.
Commissioner Wight has been
working on the matter for some time,
and has attempted to bring about a
better condition of affairs at the
county institution. Some time ago
the Salem freeholders promised to
erect a separate building for the in
sane, but no move has been made in
i, regard to this.

men who are to speak.
Arrangements Not Complete.
The local arrangements have not
yet been made, but it is likely that
besides the speakers in the party,
Col. Fordyce will speak. The LaFol-
lette party is expected to speak at
Freehold in the afternoon and then
go to New Brunswick by auto and
take supper at the Mansion House,
after which the New Brunswick and
Perth Amboy meetings will be held.
Senator LaFollette comes to New
Jersey because the reform fight here
in state and county-is part of the
great reform battle the country over
which the republicans who stand by
President Roosevelt are waging. La
Toilette is particularly close to
Roosevelt because of his fight against
the railroads, and he gave the presi-
dent considerable aid in passing the
a%nti-rebate legislation of the past
session of congress. LaFollette is
following up the good work. for there
is more reform to be achieved, and
he is going wherever he can aid in
sending to the senate better men than
are now there. He is, in fact, doing
Just what Secretary Taft did when
he went into Ohio and with the pres
ident's knowledge and consent hurl-
ed a t%hunderbolt at the bosses there.
LaFollette is all right, but OF course
Boss Strong's grind organs will nov
begin throwing mud at him and
trying to fill the public mind with all
sorts of lies about the man. His
coming is bound to make them fran
tic.
