NO JOKER" HE SAYS
M'CARTER EXPLAINS VOTING
MACHINE BILL.
Also Declares That Measure Abolishing
State Board of Arbitration Accom-
plishes Its Purpose.

TRENTON, July Elm a statement Is
sued by Attorney-Genera Robert H. Nc
Carriers Office yesterday Statements to the
effect that there were "jokers'' In the
Hillery bill to abolish the State Board of
Arbitration and the bill to abolish the
State Voting Machine Commission.
These measures were passed by the Sem
ate last week and are now up to the
House, The statement follows:
1t has been suggested that a Joker"
has been discovered in the Hillery bill
abolishing the Board of Arbitration, and
that the only effect Of the bill is to vacate
the offices OF the present members of tho
board, whereupon the Governor, under the
Constitution, would be bound to appoint
a new board.
The first Board Of Arbitration appointed
by the State was provided for in the act
approved March "a, 1892, the sixth section
Of which act made it mandatory upon the
Governor to appoint three persons, eaeh TO
hold terms OF office for five years, but no
provision was made IN the law for the APP
pointment of successors, the act simply
empowering the filling OF vacancies for
the ~unexpired term Of any office which be-
came vacant by resignation or otherwise.
This act, as Will be observed, limited the
terms of the member Of the board to fve
years, but made no provision for the ap-
pointment OF successors.
On March %, 1895, q supplement to the
act of 1892 was passed, in which certain
gentlemen, whose names We're therein men
toned, were constituted a board. each to
serve for three years, the fourth section OF
which act authorizes the Governor to ap-
point successors. The act introduced In
this section, known as Senate No. 1894,
abolishes the board itself, no matter how
1t was created, and does not merely
abolish, as has been suggested, the Offices
of the members of the board. 1t Is true
that the original act and its supplements
could have been repealed by an act which
In its title and body should have recited
the original act and the several supple
ments and amendment thereto, but the
bill introduced accomplishes the purpose
designed, towit, that of abolishfng the
board known as the Board of Arbitra-
tom OF this State.
Some criticism has been made as to thu
act abolishlng the State Board Of Votine
Machine Commissioners and casting thu
duties of said commissioners upon thu
Secretary of State, the suggestion beine
that under the said act the Secretary o.
States salary might be increased. There
is absolutely nothing in this view. Sector
two Of the act simply provides that tn,
appropriations of money made to tn,
Voting Machine Commissioners shout
enure to the Secretary of State for tn,
purpose of carrying out the new act
This sum, as has been said, goes to tht
Secretary of State to carry out the act
not as additional compensation for his
| services.

TO STUDY BREWIN
DR.. HYSLOP INTERESTED IN
DUAL PERSONALITY.
There Is Still a Gap in the Memory of
Burlington Tailor Who Forgot Who
He Was for Three Years.

PLAINFIELD, July 6.-After one of
the most peculiar, but not wholly I'M
known instances of mental suspension
and restoration, Charles p. RCewin, for
the last three years a tailor in tlis
city, will return here Monday from
Burlington, to resume his work, with
his identity established to his own
satisfaction. Brewin, coming here three
years ago, went by the name Of john
son, and no notice was taken of his
mental condition until a short time ago,
when he was recognized by DR.. Buch-
anan, of this city, as Brewin, whom he
knew in Burlington. Brewin-Johnson
denied having ever been N Burlington,
or of knowing DR.. Buchanan. The lat
ter, thinking something was wrong, got
word to the mans brother and son in
Burlington, who came here, glad to get
a trace of their lost relative, N he
denied knowing them or of having a
wife who has wondered about his alb
sence all these years.
Brewin's brother n son induced him
to go back to Burlington. n at once,
on seeing his wife, the memories of his
life there came trooping back through
his mind, n he recalled everything.
1t was a peculiar coincidence Of the
swing Of the mental pendulum that at
the same time recalling his life in Bur
lington, he disclaimed all knowledge of
having lived in Plainfield.
Their is something lacking, however,
in his mental equipose, and he has no
recollection Of how he came to leave
Burlington. or where he was up to the
time of coming here. 1t is believed he
must have met with some kind of in
jury which took away his memory,
but when he came here he sought work
with as much facility n with as lit
tie feeling of strangeness DIS IL he had
always lived here. He began going at
once to the Baptist Church, the denom-
nation to which he belonged in ur-
lington, and seemed no stranger there.
He showed no curiosity about his past
period of suspended memory, and
seemed no stranger there. He showed
no curiosity about his past period of
suspended memory, and seemed to
start in where he vas without taking
c~ognizance Of any interruption OF his
regular routine of life.
He had said to his boarding mistress,
Miss Eleanor Dunn, and to her friend,
MISS mary bIONn, thdt no AidN AoaiiCu
500 to a friend in New York, and that
he had an insurance policy with the
Foresters made out in the name of his
sister, Miss Anna Johnson. He had
visited two women in New York, n
of them, he said, being his mother,
and the other his sister, during his
residence here, but he cannot now give
any clue 10 where they live, or who
is the friend to whom he lent the $500.
He used to speak freely of both before
his awakening. His brother in Bur-
lington says he has no mother or sis
ter.
The case has been taken UP for a
study by DIR. James H.. Hyslop, for
merly of the Columbia University for
Psychic Research, who believes this
is a very clear case Of dual personality.

MAY IMPEAcH ESQUIRE.
Assembly Committee to Investigate
Charges Against Him.

TRENTON, July 6.-Under a resolu-
tion presented yesterday afternoon by
Assemblyman Lane. of Essex County,
an investigation of charges preferred
against Justice of the Peace John w.
Hughes, Of Atlantic City, is to be made
by q House committee. and If sustained
1T is likely that impeachment proceed
ings will follow. The charges are that
Hughes has been guilty of malfeasance
in office in the collection of alleged fees
and compromising cases beyond his
jurisdiction. The matter was pushed
by Attorney w. It. Sooy. of Atlantic
City, who got Lane to present h reso-
luton. There was no objection to it,
and Speaker Lethbridge appointed
Lane, Pawelski and Trick OF the COM
mittee to investigate the charges.
Hughes has been the receiving
for many cases brought by the
Atlantic City reformers against bar
keepers for violations of the Bishops
law. He was indicted by the Grand
Jury last month, at the same time
that the cases against the saloonkeep-
ers were ignored.

PAVEMENT RUTTED
CENTRAL AVENUE WORK
ALREADY SHOWS WEAR.
And This, Though the Job Has Not Yet
Been Completed-Freeholders to
Look Up Natter

While the work of paving Central
avenue with bitulithic pavement with
in the city limits west of High street
Is being rushed, there Is considerable
criticism by citizens concerning the
character of the pavement.
1t is supposed to be laid with a
smooth surface, but in sections Of what
has already been laid there are small
ruts showing. and the surface from the
street car tracks to the curb, on the
north side, are not rounded as 1t seems
to property owners it should be.
Tho ruts in the pavement have been
worn after only a couple of months
service or less. This gives rise to the
question how long the pavement will
last unless the authorities should see
that 1t is properly laid.
No complaints have been made Off
cially to the committee on roads and
assessments Of the Board of Freehold
ers, but when some of the officials were
asked about the pavement and its con-
dition they said they would have it
investigated.

GETS FAMOUS PICTURE.
Metropolitan Museum Acquires wash
ington's Replica Taken from Life.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Announcement
is made that the famous likeness OF
George washington. by Gilbert Stuart,
known as the discriminatory
portrait. has been acquired by h
Metropolitan Museum OF Art.
1t is believed by many connolsseurs
to be the original study from which
six or eight replicas were made. and
Is of unusual interest on account OF
the opinion Of experts that It Is taken
directly from life.
This portrait has attracted wide al
tention on account of the wonderfully
complete modelling OF the mead, and it
has done much to fix the popular idea
of the personal appearance OF the
Father of His Country.

LANDMARK A FLAT
TRENTON "HERMITAGE"
MONEY FARMER.
Many Famous People Entertained There
Erected by Rutherfords Years Before
Revolution.

TRENTON, July s.-There is no longer
any controversy over the destruction of
Irenton's beautiful historic homestead,
known as the Hermitage, and local his
torians are rejoicing over the fact that a
new lease Of life has been granted 1t in
the form Of an apartment house. AL
though It stands directly in the way of
very extensive improvements, and new
dwelling houses are springing up all about
1t with modern improvements, the stately
old andmark is to remain untouched, with
the exterior unaltered and only the neces-
sary changes to the interior.
The Hermitage was erected by the
Rutherford family years previous to the
Revolution. Like a light cleaning on his
character is the interesting fact that Cen
eral Dickinson purchased it from the
Rutherfords in the July between the
Declaration Of independence and the battle
of Trenton, showing his supreme conf
dence in the future OF his country, for at
that time there was almost no market for
property.
Many famous people were entertained at
the Hermitage. John Adams, a personal
friend of the general, often stopped there
In the perilous year of It'll, before the
British drove Congress from Philadelphia.

MOVE TO RETIRE AYREs.
Report Has Not Been Made on Eccentric
Army officer.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Although
the report of the Inspector Generals
Department upon the case of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Charles c. Ayres has not
been received by Acting Secretary Of
War Oliver, it is regarded as probable
that the action taken by the War De-
partment when it is submitted will be
to order Colonel Ayres before a retiring
board. That such action Is likely is
based on the fact that Colonel Ayres
already has been examined by a medi-
cal board which reported that he has
incipient paranoia. The report is now
in the hands of the department, and is
that under the circumstances
warrant may be had for summoning
him before a board with a view to
him IN the retired list.
When Colonel Ayres was a major in
the Eighth Cavalry, On duty at Camp
Wallace in the Philippines, his actions
were such as to cause his brother Off
GERS to believe that his health was not
good, and accordingly he was exam
by a medical board.
Colonel Ayres repeatedly has had
troubles in the army, and at Camp
Wallace his unpopularity was intensi-
fed by his action in causing the ar
rest Of several of his brother officers
on u~nwarranted charges. Some Of
these charges were utterly ignored by
General Weston, commanding the de-
partment in which Camp Wallace is
located, and the officers who were tried
under the charges made by Major
were acquitted.
The o1tnoav uao raaohad xuhan In a
politely worded letter HI refused either
to affirm or deny a newspaper inter-
view attributed to him concerning the
of the trouble between his wife
and officers at West Point, where Mrs.
Ayres lived for a time when her hus-
band was In the Philippines

TO "SWEAT" SARKISIAN.
MoCafferty Wants vartarian Murder
Suspect Put on Rack.

NEW YORK, July CA cablegram has
been sent to United States Consul skinner
at Marseilles, France, by Inspector Nc
Cafferty, Of the Detective Bureau, asking
that Paul Sarkisian, who Is under arrest
there In connection with the murder Of
Father Caspar Vartarian, the Armenian
priest, be severely questioned. McCafferty
sent the following message:
TEL Sarkisian he stopped at ISL An
tome street, Montreal, with others. Make
him tell all about the murder. Tell him 1t
will be best for him. We know more than
he thinks" y
Inspector McCanerty is positive that Sar-
kislan fled from New York with MORA
dian and Ermoyan, and he feels that the
suspect under arrest in france is lying
to save himself.
McCanerty scouts the theory that Sar-
kisian fed through fear of having the
crime put up to him, and the detective
CHIEF says there is little doubt that the
prisoner had as much to do with the kill
Ing of the priest as the two others.

OPEN SUNDAY BILL.
Atlantic City Hotelkeepers Appear for
It at Trenton.

TRENTON. July 6.-John White and
Louis Kuehnle headed a big delegation
of Atlantic City ~hotelkeepers who came
to the State House yesterday to urge
the enactment of the open Sunday
bill, which has been introduced by SEN
ator Lee for the benefit of their home
resort. The measure provides that
cities which have accepted the pro-
visions of the act chartering Atlantic
City may vote on the proposition Of
submitting to Common Council the
right to designate hours on Sunday
during which Intoxicating liquors may
be sold.
Inasmuch as no other city has taken
advantage of the Atlantic City charter
act, the Lee bill will apply only to At
lantic City, If it passes. On this ac-
count there is less opposition to 1t than
there was to the Blohm "open Sunday"
bill in the House last winter.

PRESIDENT n. II. HARRINGTON ILL
Is Suffering From an Attack OF Appen'
dicitis- Condition Not Considered
Dangerous-ls Slowly
Improving.

College Station, Tex, May IS.-
President II. II. Harrington of
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, who has been confined TO
his bed for the last ten days or two
weeks, is suffering from an attack
OF appendicitis. His brother, DIR.
]. T. Harrington, of Waco, arrived
two or three days ago and in con-
junction with DR.. Joe Gilbert, the
College physician, has charge OF the
case. After a thorough diagnosis,
DIR. Harrington authorizes the fol-
lowing statement: President Har-
rington is quite i'll with appendi-
citis. His condition is not consid-
cred dangerous at the present time
and he is slowly improving, but at
least two weeks will be required for
complete recovery. The question
of a surgical operation will be con-
sidered later"
II has been known here for some
time that President Harrington was
threatened with an attack of APP
pendicitis. He suffered from a
mild attack of it last fall soon after
the opening OF the present session,
and was confined to the house for
several days at that time. He
soon recovered, however, and a two
weeks trip to Mexico seemed TO
restore him to his usual health. He
felt the old trouble occasionally
during the winter but it gave him
no serious inconvenience until some
ten days ago, since which time he
has been confined to his bed con-
stantly.
