METUCHEN WOULD SAVE
OLD FRANKLIN SCHOOL.
Almost $1,000 Already Subscribed to
Preserve Building More Than
One Hundred Years Old.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. Il
Metuchen is promoting movement,
begun here recently by Mrs. Frank
Pattison and other prominent women,
for the preservation of the old Frank
lin school, in Middlesex avenue near
the Metuchen club house. Already
nearly one thousand dollars have
been subscribed.
There is some discussion as to just
how old the building is, but it is al
most certain it was erected in the
latter part of the eighteenth century
The Rev. Henry Cook was pastor oi
congregation there from 1894 tt
1924. At a meeting on March 4
1912, at the school house, it was re
solved that a committee of three be
appointed to solicit subscriptions fol
its repair and the erection of suit
able addition for neighborhood pur-
poses. This committee consisted oi
M. IF. Freeman, David Thomas and
Lewis Thomas. Mr.. Schaps was Sec
retAry of this meeting.
Those who subscribed for the re-
pairs, and representatives of whose
families now live in the borough
were Lewis Thomas, M. F. Freeman

fore the addition was built for the
holding of prayer meetings was
roughly furnished with seats hewr
out of logs smoothed down on one
side The lumber for the structure
was hauled there by teams of oxen
from New York. 1t was sawed VI
there and fitted on the ground aftel
its arrival.
Alpheus Kellogg was one OF the
first instructors at the school anc
taught there for almost fifty years
One day, in 1886, the children were
dismissed at noon. that they might
seen the first train go through tc
New York on what is now the Penn
sylvania railroad.
The original location of the build.
ing has been changed, it having been
! built facing the south. 1t now faces
the west. Ever since the public
school was built in 1873 it has been
used as a dwelling.

TRENTON, Mar. 4:-The New
Jersey state conference of the Brick

ing on the Blohm bill is being con-
Quoted by the judiciary committee of
the assembly.
Bill Is Significant.
While those familiar with the leg
islative situation do no fear that this
bill will become a law, owing to the
opposition of the senate, still they
can not ignore the significance OF the
proposition, particularly when 1t Is
considered that the matter is bound
to become an issue in the gubernator-
ial campaign next fall. While it may
be that the Blohm proposition Will
not even get through the assembly
this session, the insistance of the
friends of the bill gives ample assur-
ance that the question will not be
downed by the mere defeat OF the
measure this session. 1t is pretty
generally conceded that there will be
no change in the existing liquor laws
this session because the senate is
pretty certain to stand pat on the
bishops law, which is regarded as a
republican measure. Republican
leaders claim that it would be poor
politics for either the republican sem
ate or the governor to change front
on that law on the eve of the CAM
paign for the governorship. To do
so would be to open the party to the
charge Of inconsistency, 1t is claimed.
Suits South Jersey.
Present liquor laws suit South
Jersey with few exceptions. but with
North Jersey it is different. Law
makers from that section of the state
claim there is large and growing
element in favor of more liberal ex-
else legislation. This is given as one
reason why the Hudson county as
sembly delegation is supporting the
Blohm bill. The measure has a ref
erendum clause SO that the open sa-
looms could exist only in those mum
icipalities so voting.
The foes of the Blohm proposition
look upon the bill as merely an en-
tering wedge for the overthrow of the
American Sabbath, which has always
ben held sacred in this state. The
most bitter opposition is being aimed
at the bill from this standpoint. 1t
is pointed out that there is also pend
ing bill to legalize baseball playing
and other sports Sunday and another
bill to permit liquor selling on picnic
grounds and ball parks. These are
held up as showing what may be ex-
pected if New Jersey recedes from
the present stand on the Sunday
question.
Whatever may be the outcome of
the present skirmish which formally
began today, it is certain that 1t but
opens the way for another fierce bat
tie in the campaign next fall. The
outlook now is that the contest for
! the governorship in November will
be one of the most bitter in years.

BISHOP M'FAUL TALKS
ON FRENCH CRISIS.
Addresses Mass Meeting at Trenton,
Which Adopts Strong Resolutions
Against Governments Action.

TRENTON, Mar. 4:-Roman 4 Cath
olics, in mass meeting here last
night, adopted strong resolutions
against the French government S
treatment of the Catholic Church.
The meeting was addressed by Bish-
op James A. McFaul head of the dio-
cese of Trenton, and his legal repre-
sentative, Peter Backes, of this city,
and by John J. Cullet and Edward
Feeney, of New York. Mr.. Feeney
is the national president of the Amer
ican Federation of Catholic Societies.
He urged that this organization
should work for the aid of the
church in all parts of the world. The
Rev. Father Etzel, of this city, lately
returned from Europe, made an adj
dress on 1.-The Catholic Church, in
France" s
Bishop McFaul spoke on the nat
ure and scope of the American Feder-
alton of Catholic Societies, under
whose auspices the meeting was held.
He said in part: e
THE federation proposes the uni
fication of the foreign nationalities
coming to our shores. We feel that
the millions rushing into America
will be more or less in danger Of
losing faith unless we American
Catholics keep in touch with them
and give them the experience of gen
erations of this soil. Furthermore,
we desire to inform our people on the
public school question. We wish to
educate all Americans to an appreci-
alton of the fact that we do not con-
template the destruction of the pres
ent system.
"Since, however, We cannot patron
ize system which divorces secular
and religious education, we hold it
unjust and un-American to be taxed
for schools which we cannot use with
out violence to conscience. We offer
compromise: Let our schools re-
main as they are. I've will re-
ceive nothing for religious education.
3-Let a state or municipal board ex-
anime our children in the secular
branches required by the state and,
If we furnish these secular education,
then let the state pay for it.
Another problem engaging our
attention is the evil of divorce. Be-
tween 1869 and 1901 there were
100000 divorces in the United
States, making 100000 men and
women whose firesides have been
broken up and four millions, at least,
of children who have been cruelty
robbed of their rights to a real home.
Let a voice go across the Atlantic
; tonight encouraging the Catholics of
France, her clergy and our Holy
Father against the spoilation of the
church in the name of separation
Were there a separation between
church and state such as in this coun-
try it would be cheerfully accepted.
Here the words of Christ are fulfill
ed: Render to Caesar the things
which are Caesars and to God the
things that are Gods The state at
tends to the things belonging to the
civic order and protects the church
in her God-given rights"
