WELCOMES
FORT
Aids in Reception Given
GOvernor-elect by Com
MERGE Chamber.

TRENTON, Dec. 10.-Governor-elect
John Franklin Fort was rendered a re-
ception here last night by the Chamber
of Commerce. The affair was entirely
informal and no set speeches we're
made. Frank S. Katzenbach was a
member of the reception committee
and he spent a good part of the even
ing by the side of MI. Fort receiving
1.-The guests. At frequent intervals the
successful and defeated candidates for
Guhernatorial honors could be seen In
earnest conversation, and they had
many laughs together over their expert
ences during the campaign.
Early in the evening, as Mr.. Katzen-
bach came up in line with other citi-
zens, Mr.. Fort took him by the arm
and made him stand at his side for the
balance of the evening. All of the sue
cessful and defeated candidates of city
and county were present at the recep-
ton, which tool on the form of a re-
union of political aspirants al the
last election. Several thousand people
shook hands with ex-Judge Fort during
the evening and he found time to chat
pleasantly with many acquaintance.
The Republican Club marched to the
reception fully 5000 strong.
Mr.. Fort arrived in this ,ity this aft
ernoon and at 6 o. m. was the guest
of Wilbur F. Sadler, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, at dinner. The
other guests were Governor Stokes,
Judge James Dill, Ferdinand W. Roeb-
ling, County Clerk c. Harry Baker,
General c. Edward Murray, John A.
Campbell, Hugh H. Hamill, William c..
Howell and John II. Scudder.

WOULD LIMIT TERM OF
PRESIDENT TO 8 YEARS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. M-Representative
Clayton, an Alabama Democrat. yesterday
offered in the House a resolution to the eff
feet that 1t is the sense of the House that
no man should hold the Office OF President
for more than eight years.
The resolution reads:
Resolved, That in the opinion Of this
House, the precedent established by Wash
ington and other Presidents of the United
States in retiring from the Presidential Of
flee after their second terms, has become,
by universal concurrence, a part of our
Republican system OF government, and
that any departure from this time-honored
custom would be unwise, unpatriotic and
fraught with peril to our free Institutions. =
Mr.. Clayton intends to press the resolu-
ton for consideration, and, II possible
place the Republicans of the House on
record in regard to their feelings in the
matter just now. It is said that a sim
liar resolution, offered by the late Repre-
sentative Springer, of Illinois, was adopt
ed by the House by a large vote at ths
time there was much talk of NOMINATING
President Grant for a third term.

Commissioners Resolve to
Take Matter Of AppOintiye

They're Not Ashamed of
Contemplated Step.

The. "insurgent" members of the

had anJther meeting last night in the
city Hall, and 1T was authoritatively
staten that an application for a writ
of Ger eiorari wonld be appalled, for be-

The COM mfssioners have been legally
advised tn at the laA' itself is 3uncon-

ened ON WIN 1T points.
II is und arstood that. most Of the
members of a he present Boanl of Edu-
cation. as well as a number who were
elected at the recent election, ana in the
fight, and whila they will not be promi-
nently identified with the meetings Of
the committee which now has the af-
fair in hand, they will contribute to the
fund being raised to bring the matter
into the courts. s
The first gun III the battle via be the
application for an order to prevent the
members of the small board from TAX
ing their seats on January l, and then
action to review THE law, will be in
order.
The act under wtrSch the referendum
is left to the people is known as the
Colby referendum LIN was passed in
1903, and the warning commissioner are
encouraged by the fact hat the pre-
vious act, the Mckee act, Of the pre-
vious year, was declared %unconsti-
tutional on statutory grounds when the
law vas tested under circumstances
almost identical with those existing at
the present time.
A committee of the contestants, con-
sisting of School Commissioners Shape,
Backus, Stewart. Delaney, LIE Francis
and Swami and the victorious candidate
of the SIXTH Ward, Charles G. Bertram,
met last might in the City Hal and
decided to adopt this course if, in the
opinion of Mr.. Riker, it wassthe roper
thing to do.
When the meeting adjourned Com
missioner Shape announced that instead

of the thirty-two members who would

however"
Commissioner James A. Baekus. Of
the First Ward, remarked that whilt
his ward went Democratic last month
he was reelected. This has hap
pened in other wards as well as the
First" he went on, land 1t shows con
clusively that the people elect schoo
commissioners because they want GER
tain men to serve. Why, on the refer
endum vote for the small board there
were some II, 900 votes cast: now, near
Iy $4,000 votes were cast for candidates
on the large elective board. Doesn'i
that show pretty well what the people
want?"
ut has been said,' said Commits
sioner Francis, that we are per-
sonally trying to ave our own bacon
and people can't see what we are fight
ing for, They can't see. when there
is no salary but a lot of hard work
why we should wish to serve on the
board. Now. we are making this
fight because we are certain that we
are backed up by a large majority OF
the voters of Newark. A referendum
vote of only 49, 900 votes is certainly no
criterion. The people voted for us;
they cast 80, 900 votes in the battle of
the ballots, and we believe they
want us to serve, and we
are trying 10 stick up>for what we be-
Iieve to be the will of the people. 1t
is a matte of principle-that is why
we are making this contest.
we do not wish to interfere with or
tie up the management of school affairs
all during the progress of u suit, y
he continued. I'VE will ask for a stay
to act as a restraining order preventing
the nine appointed members from
taking their seats. If it is granted, the
full board OF thirty-two members will
serve, al least until the court DEGREES
otherwise. If the order is not granted
then the affairs of the board will be
administered by the nine men appointed
by the. Mayor. In either event there
will be no break in the management of
school affairs"
This is our last meeting before TAX
ing the matter to the courts" an
nounced Commissioner Henry A.
Swami. Il am sorry that the matter
has received the prominence 1t has, but
there Is not a man ashamed of the
stand he is taking. all statements 20
the contrary Notwithstanding. We
have been assailed from all quarters
but the voters themselves, and I am
confident they will indorse our action.
"A referendum vote of the kind which
came before the people last election
nothing at all. If the matter
is properly decided a separate ballot
be used so that the voters will
not get the referendum confused with
the rest of the ticket"
Should the stay be granted by the
court the novel scene of two sets of
commissioners will be presented
in this city. In that event the large
board would continue to administer
affairs until the court -decreed
otherwise, and members elected last
month will take their seats January l.

OBJECT TO FUMES
GRAND JURY TO HEAR OF
ALLEGED NUISANCE.
Clinton Hill Improvers' Smoke" Com
mittee to Bring Body's Attention to
Irvington Gold Refining Plant.

Pursuant to the advice of the State
provement Association last night en-
powered its Smoke committee t. go
before the Grand Jury and present that
body with the facts regarding the
smoke and acid fumes from the gold
refining plant of Glorieux. on Enterprise
Hill, in %Irvington.
The fumes are from nitric acid, and
are said to corrode iron, brass and tin.
whenever these metals are exposed to
the draughts. Some time ago a COM
mittee, headed by Charles Littlefield,
was appointed to look into the matter.
No satisfaction was obtained from the
members of the firm, it was said, and
recourse was had to the State Board of
Health.
A letter was received from that body
stating that it was a matter for the
Grand Jury, as the factory a located
in one municipality while h protest.
ing property-owners resided in an
other.
The Clinton Hill residents are aroused
over the matter. The committee will
lay the data in the case before the
Grand Jury, together with the testi-
mony of several doctors to the effect
that the acid fumes are responsible fol
some of the sickness in that section
of the city.
Some years ago the Irvington Board
of Health waged a war on the golc
plant to prevent the chemicals used II
the refining of the gold from being
| dumped into Skinkle Brook and thu
Elizabeth River and its tributaries
This practise was finally discontinued
and Mr.. Glorieux. who was Mayor o
Irvington at the time, promised tina
the practise would not be resumed.
