few did this, and, since most of the
Democratic kickers, as they now ap-
pear to be, did not avail themselves
of the opportunity, it is but right
to conclude that they were satisfied
with their assessments and are salts
fed with them now. But finding
the laws are working contrary to
their expectations and prophecies,
they are driven to the extreme of re-
futing their own acts, when they
charge the assessors. with gross IN
CAPABILITIES and preferments. O.
The taxpayers of Harrison county
know the tax laws are all right, they
know their taxes are lowers they
know the assessors made compare
lively few pnistakes,g if 7any, and
they know thki Republican party
brought about lower taxes for them.
Then, why should Democracy vain
" attempt to prejudice them against
their own Interests and ask them to.

has not depleted their pocketbooks

1t is really unfair to say that our
good old friend from Eagle district
was afraid to take off his hat in the
Democratic county convention here,
during the proceedings of the con-
vention. BE might have meant to
indicate that his hat was not to be
tipped to any of the nominees of
that convention, but that he wore
his own sovereign under his hat.
Again, we hardly suppose, because it
was a good hat, that it was not safe
to take it off.

MARELLI OUT FOR !
STATE S~ENATORSHIP
Would be Successor of Mckee Gives
Pledges at Enthusiastic Colby
Meeting in Passaic Co.

PASSAIC, June 4:-Considering
the ~closeness of the night and the
long period before the election, the
Colby meeting here Friday night was
well attended. The audience, politics
ally speaking, was made up of the
most representative and aggressive
men of the city. Louis r. Cowdrey
presided. Assemblyman Henry MARI
ELI, of Paterson; James Blauvelt and
George l.. Record spoke.
Mr.. Marelli made his first declara-
ton of principles and for the first
time made the public statement that
he was a candidate for state senator.
He reviewed the course of the legisr
lature and told of its shameful Jug
glery with three corrupt practise bills
that he introduced. One of these
bills, he said, was the real measures
that was desired passed, yet the leg
~islature, with Hypocrisy and cunning
that was well studied, passed the bills
which were ineffective and helpless
without the main bill, a case of the
play of Hamlet with the Danish
prince missing.
He described In detail the course
of many bills and submitted what he
regarded as proofs of the hold which
the railroads, Standard Oil East Jer~
sey Water Company, Public Service
and other interests, seeking special
privileges, had on the legislature.
Mr.. Marelli said that just before
the measure was nullifed by the in-
iquitous Avis bill and the Legislatures
passed the Avis bill for that purpose.
Mr.. Marelli said that just before
the Avis bill was passed in the house
a majority leader said to him, we
must pass this bill for II we do not

CASSATT RETURNS.
President Of Pennsylvania Railroad
interviewed on Arrival


PHILADELPHIA, June 4. A. j.
Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, has arrived from
Europe and was at his Office in Phila-
delphia this morning.
Mr.. Cassatt said he had returned
home to take part in the investigation
by the board Of directors of the Penn
~sylvania road into the matters that had
been disclosed during his absence In
the proceedings before the interstate
commerce commissions. He had receiv-
ed only brief reports, but had learned
that charges had been made against
certain officials of the acceptance of
brides from coal operators.
The. board would investigate all such
charges extensively and II any officer
or employee should be found guilty of
corrupt practices he would be sum
marily dealt with.
The wrong, IL any had been done.
was In the alleged favoritlsm. There
could be no favoritism in rates, as
shippers of coal and all other freights
were on an absolute equality-all paid
the full tariff rates without rebate.
Mfr. Cassatt made himself personally
responsible for the absolute correct
ness of this statement. II there was
any discrimination it could only be In
the distribution of empty coal cars.

STATE WATER.
Governor Commission Is InveS-
tigating State Ownership Of
the Lakes for Future Use.

TRENTON, June 4:-Governor
Stokes Potable Water Commission
has commenced the work of investi-
eating the question of state owner
snip of lakes, with a view of recon-
mending to the next legislature the
purchase by the commonwealth of
such bodies of water.
From the work already accom-
plished 1t is believed that such recon-
mendation will be made in a number
of instances, although the commits
sion is not yet ready to suggest which
lakes should be acquired, not to rec
ommend the prices that should be
paid for the property.
The lakes are desirable, not only as
a source of public water supply, but
also that they maye be enjoyed for
fishing and boating by the general
public instead of being held by a few
private owner of wealth and exclu-
siveness as is now the case in very
many instances. Many of the pretti-
est lakes in the state have been pur-
chased outright by wealthy residents
OF the large cities and are now being
held as private summer resorts, to
the exclusion of the neighborhood
pCOptCt WG WClO idCAJ plANAiO6CN
to fish and boat at their pleasure,
Some of the most desirable of these
lakes are: Atlantic county-May's
Landing Pond, 333 acres; Weymouth
Pond, 205 acres. Cumberland coun-
ty-Millville Pond, 926 acres. Nor
ris county-Budd's Lake, 475 acres;
Green Pond, AGO acres; Lake Hopat-
cong, 2,443 acres; Eplitrock Lake,
315 acres. Passaic county-Cedar
Pond, 21S acres; Dundee Lake, 224
acres; Greenwood Lake, 1920 acres;
Pompton Lake, 1876 acres; Macopin
Lake, 299 acres. Sussex county
Culver's Pond, 486 acres; Long
Pond, 299 acres; Swartswood Lake,
sos acres; Wawayanda Lake, 24O
acres.
There are all told 10 natural and
artificial lakes in the state, ranging
from eleven acres up to Lake Hopat-
cong, the largest. Many of these are
located in picturesque sections Of the
state and their ownership by the
state would be beneficial to the peo-
pie from an artistic viewpoint, in adj
dition to insuring the future genera
lions a pure and certain supply of
water for domestic uses.
The acquisition of these lakes has
been strongly urged by Governor
Stokes ever since he has been In
office. lei

CHICAGO ASKS INQUIRY

CHICAGO, June 4.-Mayor Dunno
telegraphed to Secretary Wilson at
Washington suggesting the appoint
ment of n commission of scientific men
to visit the ~stockyards. Investigate con-
ditIons and make recommendations to
abate the evils.
Why the mayor called upon the gov
eminent for cooperation Is not clear
Under the law he has full authority
over the s%tockyards without reference
to the federal authorities. When asked
as to his reason for wiring to the sec
rotary of agriculture he said:
81 have been acting In concert with
the government. We have been work
ing under an agreement signed by the
secretary of agriculture. the health
commissioner and myself. AS we have
acted In concert. | have asked the gov
eminent to cooperate In the appoint
ment of this commission"
Health Commissioner Whalen after a
conference with the mayor threw the
burden practically on the shoulders OF
the government. He assented readily
to the plan for the appointment or the
Psychologists to work In conjunction
with the secretary of agriculture.
Three scientists are favored.

"because the government wanted me
to. If Roosevelt wants me to condemn
lumpy jaw cattle or meat from infect

BIG PREPARATION FOR
THE ELKS' CONVENTION
Colorado to Extend a Great Wei
come to the Visitors from All
Section Of the Country.

DENVER, June 4:-'Colorado
will leave nothing undone to impress
upon the Elks who go there next
July that the state is well supplied
with everything that makes prosper
ity," said, a well. known travelling
man, who has recently been in the
west, to a newspaper reporter at n
of the hotels. There will be in the.
neighborhOod of 100, 900 visitors in
the state between July 16 and 81,
while the Elks annual reunion is in
session..
San effort is being made to take
these visitors around the state to
show them the points of interest.
One of the objective points will be
to the Clear Creek Gold District,
which Is only thirty-eight miles from
the city of Denver. J. f. Manning
and w. H. Knowles, millionaire min
ing men of Colorado, are to make
show places at their mines, the cele-
brated Franklin and Silver Age prop
critics, from which several million
dollars have been taken in gold. This
district where these noted mines are
located has been producing mineral
since 1860. The ore is taken to the
smelters In Denver as fast as it is
mined, which will give the visitors
an opportunity to see a practical
demonstration of the art of convert
ing mineral from it's native form in
to the finished product in a single
day. There are three miles of under
ground workings in these mines,
through which visitors will be allow
ed to roam at pleasure, with compe-
tent guides to show them the proper
ties and explain the marvels that
have been wrought in the develop
ment of the mountainous section of
Colorado, which is valueless for
everything except mining. There is
not another place In the world the
size of Denver that has gold mines of
such consequence so a the city.
Visitors generally have to go long
distances into the hills to examine
these curiOsities, but at the great
Elks reunion a ride of thirty miles
will enable them to sec one of the
most famous mining districts in the
world, and go through the tunnels
and workings of the mines that are
famous wherever the history of gold
production Is known.
1.-THE Elks of Colorado are plan
ming to spend 500, 900 for the enter
tainment of those who come to the
great reunion. Bars of silver and
gold will be given as prizes for the
largest attendance from any lodge
and for the delegation that travels
the greatest number of miles, for the
winners of band concerts, etc. These
prizes will amount to more than $15,-,
600.
when | was in Denver recently a
large welcome arch was being erect
ed and preparations were being made
even three months before the reunion
to welcome the visitors in July"

PATERSON MOVES
ON SUNDAY SLAVES
Ordinance Against Open Barber
and Butcher Shops on Sab
bath cd the Hooks.

PATERSON, June 4.-Sunday
shaves and Sunday meat selling will
be barred in Paterson If the Board OF
Aldermen approve of the recommen-
dalton of its Committee on Ordi-
nances. Aldermen Scniclke and
Warmolts, the former a barber and
the other a butcher, have prepared
an ordinance under which the open
ing of a barber shop or a butcher
store is made punishable by a fine
of $40 for each offense. h
The sentiment In favor of the ordi-
nance is by no means unanimous
among the business men interested,
but enough are in favor to induce the
committee to report it favorably.
In view of the increased price of
ice the closing of butcher shops on
Sunday Is regarded by many as a
hardship to the poorer people. John
Donnelly, who is engaged in the
butcher business, says he is opposed
to the ordinance on that ground, and
some of the aldermen agree with him.
The Hebrew butchers say that the
passage of the ordinance would be a
serious blow to them, as they are
closed from sunset Friday to sunset
Saturday because of their religion,
and that in the few hours they have
remaining on Saturday they could
not serve all their customers.
1t is expected that the proposed Or
dinanoo will davalOn a lively pOntro-
versy in the board of aldermen at the
next meeting. saNA1f#
