BLACK RACE IN PERSIA.
Peoplo~Nyhose Whereabouts Sets the
Efhpolo&ists Guessing.

One of thefsresearch men" of the
Carnegie Institute at Washington,
now travelling in the east, has made
an interesting report with reference
to the existence in ancient Persia OF
a race of black skinned men, who pos
sessed features resembling those of
Africans.
The origin of these people, as well
& as their apparent disappearance in
modern times, have furnished puz-
ziing questions for ethnologists for a
great many years, says the Philadel-
phia Record Some have supposed
that in prehistoric times the greater
part of Southern Asia was occupied
by a primitive black race, of which
only vestiges remained when the EN-
pires of Babylon and Assyria arose.
Lately, descendants of the black man
who figured in the early history of
Persia are believed to have been
found by the Russian explorer, DR..
Daniloff, dwelling among che noun
tains near Shiras, east OF the Per
sian gulf.
These people, although they still
form an independent group, mingle
with the surropnding population, as
in ancient times, and fird employ
ment at long distances from their
home. Some of them are to be seen
in the city of Teheran.

WARREN is ONE
OF THE OLDEST
Local Fenyb0at Has been In Ser
vice Half a Century Only
Two In Use Longer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19:-According
to the annual report of George Uhler,
Supervising Inspector General of the
Steamboat Inspection Service, which
was made public yesterday, the ferry
boat Warren, which plies between
Tottenyille and Perth Amboy, is one
of the three oldest ferryboats in New
York waters. 1t was built in 1859,
and has been in service for a half
century. The other two boats launch
ed in the fifties We're the Greenpoint,
built in 1862, and the Southside,
built in 1853.
The report shows that in the wat
ers of New York harbor, plying each
day and carrying in the aggregate
thousands Of passengers, are twenty
two ferryboats that are more than
thirty-seven years old, and these form
a striking minority in the list of hun
dreds of steam vessels that are tab
ulated in the report. 1t would seem
that ferryboats never wear out, and
one of these is the Baltic, crossing the
East river from South Ferry to
Brooklyn. This b0at was built in
1863.
Names which follow are familiar
enough to travellers to Brooklyn, Jer-
sey City, Staten Island and Long ISL
and points, but it is doubtful if the
daily traveller realizes the age of the
craft on which he travels.
According to the report, the old
timers are the Arthur Kill, of Marin
ers Harbor, built in 1861; the Chau-
tauqua, with the same hailing ports,
built in 1868; the Clinton, of Brook
lyn, 1862; the College Point, of
North Beach, 1868; the Columbia, of
Brooklyn, 1867; the Hamilton, of
Brooklyn, 1862 the Hudson City, of
Whitestone, 1867; the Jersey City, of
Hoboken, 1862; the Middletown, of
Clifton, 1864; the Mineola, of Brook
lyn, 1868; the Passaic, of Jersey City,
1863; the Republic, of Brooklyn,
1863; the Rutherford, Jersey City,
1861; the Shinnecock, Brooklyn,
1856; the Somerset, Brooklyn, 1862;
the Southampton, Long Island City,
1869; the Sterlington, Jersey City,
1868; the Susquehanna, Jersey City,
1865; the Union, Brooklyn, 1862;
the Westfield, Clifton, 1862 and the
Winona, of Brooklyn, built in 1869.
In several of these ferryboats the
boilers have never been rebuilt, but
because of their exceptional quality
in the beginning have successfully
passed the annual inspection to which
they are subjected. The boilers in
the ferryboat Baltic have not been re-
built since 1853 and those of the
Chautauqua, built in 1868, were re-
placed ten years later.

OBJECTION TO
HOURLY CARS
SayrevilIe Draws Up Petition On
the Subject Township People
to See What Can Be Done.

SAYREVILLE, Jan. 19:-The
Sayreville township committee, at its
meeting on Wednesday night took
up the question of poor trolley SER
vice, taking recognition of petition
which has been circulated throughout
the county during the past few days
to which I'll signatures have been at
tached. The whole township seems
to be aroused over the matter. The
petition which has been so literally
signed sets forth as follows
I'VE, the undersigned, residents
of the township of Sayreville, do here
by object to, the hourly schedule
which the Public Service Corporation
of New Jersey has now adopted. We
request your honorable body to take
this matter up at once and demand
the half hour schedule as heretofore,
from a. M, until $50 a. M, last
car to leave New Brunswick for Say
reville at IL midnight and the depot
of the c. R. R. of N. J. in South Am
boy at a. m.
1--WE also desire to have you in
vestigate why cars of the said corporl
alton operating in this township and
equipped with air brakes are not
used. We think that if said cars
were equipped with the above re-
quirements that there would be saw
ing of life and avoidance of acci-
dents.
I'VE also demand of said corpora
ton why it is that if a passenger
stands three feet on one side of their
stop signs their cars will not stop. We
trust that you will investigate and
save us the trouble we are made to
endure by the party in question"
At the meeting of the township
council Councilman William Burke
introduced a resolution which was
passed providing that the township
the Public Service Corporation with
view of correcting the evils COM
planned of and giving the public what
it deserved.
The people of Seyreville cannot
understand why the Public Service
should kill off SO many people there.
When they talk to the crew about ii
the crew tells them that they have
to make time. Now the people are
going to headquarters at Newark to
make fight for their rights.
August Rohde, the chairman of
the committee, has the petition and
will take it to Newark

STATE ROADS
TAKE MONEY
Annual Report Of Commissioner
Hutchinson Shows Amount Ex-
pended During Past Year.

TRENTON, Jan. 19:-Showing
the prosperity of road building in
New Jersey during the past year un-
der the act passed last winter by the
legislature by which all fines for vio-
lations of the automobile law should
go toward the fund for the repair of
county roads, the report of State
Road Commissioner Elijah G. Hutch
inson, which was handed to Cover
nor Stokes today, also gives an in
teresting account of the fiourishing
condition of the state roads. Many
counties receive much praise for the
work done by them in regard to road
building and their proper mainte-
nance, while others are censured for
not taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities available. Under the new
automobile law about $4,000 is to
be distributed among the different
counties as the states contribution
toward repairs.
In referring to the automobile law,
Commissioner Hutchinson says that
it has been operated successfully, but
and that is the failure to make pro-
vision for inspectors enough to prop
erly enforce the law.

Judge Lindsey's Triumph in Denver

Judge Lindsey's Triumph in Denver.
"You hear in Denver that the
trouble with Ben Lindsey is that he
butts into everything, writes Lin
coin Steffens, in the December Nc
Clure's. And he goes on to show
why it is that the lust judge" has
to butt in" has to antagoniZe the
political machine and the business
interests back of the machine in or
der to solve the problems of the
children. He tells how the judge
visited back alleys at night, hung
around cheap theatres, and visited
the tenderlOin and the slums in order
to get at the causes of criminality in
children. Judge Lindsey found,
among other things, that Denver sa-
looms had wine-rooms, and that not
only boys, but girls, were allowed in
them and ruined. He tried to get the
police board to enforce the law that
forbade these places towomen; and
he discovered then that he was up
against" the wealthy brewing inter-
ests of Denver and was spelling
business.
The account of the judges fight
against the wine-rooms; of the her.
oic measures he took to provide a
detention school for his child Grim
inals; the remarkable scene in which
his bad children voluntarily came
and testified before municipal con-
ference, called to consider their case;
and the stirring victory by which the
Judge was reelected in defiance of
the powers of graft, are told in a re-
markable graphic, incisive way and
complete Mr.. Steffens' sympathetic
and vigorous portraiture of one OF
the live figures of our public affairs.
