CAUTIOUS PRUDENCE.
SAYS LONDON PAPER.
Daily Mail Sees Wisdom in Sending
American Fleet to Pacific
to Be On Guard.
to Be On Guard.

LONDON. July 9-The Daily Mail in an
EDITORIAL article on the Japanese-American
situation says:
Around the immense arena of the
Pacific Ocean the embattled nations of
the world are gathering as the nations
gathered around the Mediterranean two
thousand years ago. Careful observers will
universally agre that the great events of
the twentieth century probably will be
occupied with the rim of this vast saucer.
War between Japan and America is
almost unthinkable. We believe the in
~tentlons of the statesmen of both countries
to be profoundly pacific, and that the in
cidents at San Francisco are not respon-
sible for the movement of the American
fleet.
Japan commenced the war with Russia
without previous declaration, by destroy
ing half the Russian fleet. Such a move
was very effective the first time 1t was
performed. and henceforth no nation will
wait for a formal declaration of war, but
will be ready to strike while there are yet
no signs of a diplomatic rupture.
THE cautious and wise statesmen direct
ing American policy are not violating
prudence in deciding to concentrate their
forces in the region where the eye can
detect the menace OF the obscure horizon"

Convention of Master Painters and Deo-
orators in Session at Asbury Park
Receive Suggestion.

ASBURY PARK. July 9.-The strike
question entered largely in the address
delivered today to the annual v
tion of Master Painters and Decorators
of New Jersey by the president of the
association, Charles p. Van Syekle.
He recommended a committee TO have
charge of labor disputes, whose prin-
cipal object should be to prevent
strikes. The convention will probably
adopt his suggestion.
we are. all of us, beset by more
troublesome conditions than perhaps
any other body of men who are iden-
tilted with the building business" said
the president. The labor disturbances
with which we are called upon to con-
tend from time to time are not the
least troublesome of these conditions,
and unless we are willingt to make
some sacrifices and put ourselves to
some little inconvenience we need never
expect to have success and must be
prepared to defend repeated assaults"

by fifty bands. through streets gay
with bunting, reviewed by Governor

cred along the line of march to wit
ness the brilliant pageant, which was
scheduled to begin at noon. Fair skies

conditions favorable and lent bril-
liancy to the fete, which delights the

the knights who. participate in it.

rived from Albany two hours before
the parade was to start and was es-
corted to the Grand Union Hotel,
where, with the Earl of Euston and
Grand Master Moulton, he reviewed the

HUSBAND SAYS WIFE
WAS "SWEET" ON DRIVER.
Albert Borkow Wants Divorce-Core-
spondent's Mother Helps Him.
Woman Denies Improperly.

Testimony in the divorce suit brought by
Albert Lucas Borkow. of 26 Cherry street,
an electrotyper, against his wife, Jennie
E., heard today by Vice-Chancellor How
ell, developed several rather exciting incl
dents, while witnesses for the complain
ant husband were on the stand. The hus-
band charges his wife with various acts
in violation of her marriage vows, and
names John McGregor, a truck driver,
as correspondent.
The allegations contained i'm the bill of
complaint were supported on the stand
by the disposition of Justice of the Peace
Bossett, who testified that the defendant
and the correspondent had been arrested on
a serious charge.
According to the statements by both
sides the couple were married January %.
1901. in Philadelphia. Pa; living there with
the husbands parents until the following
MAY. when they came to this city.
On the witness stand the complainant
husband said there was no particular
trouble between himself and his wife until
she became acquainted with the correspond
ent early in 1906.
Mrs. McGregor, mother Of the core
spondent, testified that she had besought
her son to leave the defendant as the
defendant was known. and that he prom
ised to do so. Mrs. Mary A. Morgan testi-
fed that she also had pleaded with Nc
Gregor to leave the defendant.
2 He said he would and went upstairs
with tears falling down his cheeks, but
right after that he went living with her
again for three months said the witness.

manded the witness from her seat near
her counsel.
'eThat will do" interrupted Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell as the witness started to re-
ply to the complainant. Somebody will
be locked up for contempt OF court IL this
keeps up"
Mrs. Borkow in her own behalf denied
that there was anything OF an improper
character in the relationship between her
self and McGregor. She declared the apart
ments 3S7 Plane street. where she was ar
rested. were never occupied by McGregor,
but that she lived there after her husband
had taken the children away.

OVER Sos ESTATE
LEGAL TEAPOT TEMPEST
ENTAILS 5000 EXPENSES.
And Successful Litigants Will Receive
Their Share of SO. 75-Fruit Jars and
"Comfortables" an Issue.

That "the laws the true embodiment of
everything that's excellent and that IT
'has no kind of fault or flaw" is again
made evident in an elaborate report COW
ering many typewriter pages, filed today
in the Orphans Court by Deputy Surro-
gate Charles It. Kocher, advisory master,
10 whom had been left the adjudication
of the family woes growing out of the
death OF Mary A. Jacobus. That the
majesty of the law also unbends itself to
niceties as to the legal owner of jars OF
fruit and bed quilts is also made evident
In the report.
Mrs. Jacobus died in Caldwell October
10, 1904. and ever since then there has
been litigation that comes quite near to
rivaling the famous. case of Jarndyce VS..
J%arndyce. The net result of all the It'll
cation, In which were expensive lawyers
on both sides. Is that there are expenses
of more than 5000 to be paid, and h
the successful l~itigants will get a lawful
fraction Of $6.75.
Soon after Mrs. Jacobus died, leaving no
will, but numerous next OF kin, the legal
squabble began. William J. Gore, one OF
these relatives. was appointed admins
traitor of the estate and then his troubles
loomed up largely. They were made by
Caroline A. Bowman. another relative, who
Immediately took exception to the account
ing md so the matter got into the courts
with about thirty other relatives watching
and waiting for developments.
The whole estate had been appraised at
$65. and among the articles enumerated,
to which Mrs. Bowman excepted, were
two comfortables, valued at $1.50; two
wooden blankets. of the same value; one
dozen new napkins, $1.39, and twenty
seven jars of fruit, valued at $3.50. The
total inventory, with other goods. painful
ly enumerated, was valued at $4S.S9.
Several of the exceptions are overruled
by the master with all the judicial gravity
customary in ~disposing Of estates valued
at hundreds of thousands of dollars.
AS to the Jars Of fruit, for Instance, he
reports with distinct emphasis and porten-
tious dignity: There Is evidence of the
existence of seventeen jars, but not of
twenty-seven. Some of the fruit was
found to be spoiled and the remainder
eaten before the appointment OF the ad-
ministration. The administration cannot
be required to inventory articles which
ceased to be In existence prior to his APP
pcintment. and his exception is over
ruled
In the little list was a piano bought
seventeen years ago for S75, a kitchen
range of antique pattern and other ar
ticles. While the litigation over this prop
erty was at its height, some time ago, the
mutual recrimination between the next of
kin became so acute that the master was
compelled to call for the services Of a
constable.

FAGAN AS A DEM?
MIGHT RUN FOR MAYOR ON
SILZER TICKET.
Hot Weather Political Story Interests
Jersey City Politicians-Democrats
Scent Victory.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY. July a.-Several Hudson
Democrats on their way home from Tren-
ton Yesterday were much concerned with a
political story that has gained great cir
c~ulation in Jersey City to the effect that
a Democratic ticket this fall If refused a
denomination by the Dickinson machine.
The story was that II the young Demo-
Gratis succeeded In nominating Senator
George Silzer. Of Middlesex. for Governor,
and The Republican State machine names
a party hack, then the New Idea Repub-
licans would stand for the reform Demo-
cratic candidate.
A Hudson Assemblyman. who is boom
Ing Senator Silver for the gubernatorial
nomination. declared today that the
Middlesex man. who is well liked by the
New Idea Republicans. could not afford to
throw away twenty thousand Colby votes
by not accepting tle Endorsement of the
New Idea Republicans If the latter agree
TO give 1t to him In the event or the nam
ing of an Objectionable Republican candi-
date.
IF the Dickinson machine in Jersey City,
with the support of the State Republican
machine, carries the primaries I'm Septem-
Der and turns down Mayor Fagan,Y stated
49," NoSVhhpiy hihhs the mayor Will run
for reelection just the same. BY indorsing
the Democratic candidate for Governor and
the Democratic Assembly candidates In
Hudson who passed Pagan bills for the
Jersey City administration, the Mayor
could get his name on a ticket that would
be the Democratic ticket except as to the
mayoralty. Thousands of Democrats who
have the Pagan habit would vote this
ticket, as they could remain regular by
SO doing.
I'm a t~hree-cornered mayoraIty fight In
Jersey with Fagan's name on a Democratic
ticket he would win out easily, with Witt
penn second and the machine Republicans
a bad third. I do not think that the State
Republican leaders will permit Mayor
Pagan to be turned down by the Dickinson
machine, as much as they dislike him and
as they desire to terminate his political
career, for they have their candidate for
Governor to consider and they do not want
to lose the Pagan votes that would go to a
Democratic ticket with Pagan on it.
Before the primaries the State machine
may be expected to order the Dickinson
machine to lay down and let Pagan have a
regular nomination. AS a Democrat who
wants to see his party's candidate for Gov
ernor win / would like to see Pagan turned
down by his party, for we could afford to
sacrifice the, mayoralty in Jersey City to
win a Governor. l think that no one can
beat Pagan In Jersey City this fall"
Among the Hudson Democrats who are
greatly interested In the above story Is
President Job Lippincott, of the Delaware
Club.

ANNOYS METCALF
WARLIKE. ASPECT GIVEN
MOVEMENT ON PACIFIC.
Only the Fleets Annual Practise Cruise,
Says the Indignant Naval
Secretary.

OAKLAND. Cal, July 9.-Secretary
of the Navy Metealf deprecates the
warlike aspect that mas peen given the
order for the cruise of the great bnttle-
ship squadron from the Atlantic. to the
Pacific coast. The secretary said last
night that the proposed movement was
that of a practise cruise. and hat the
fleet would not be kept in the Pacific
permanently. He declared thai the
length Of time that the fleet would re-
main on the western side of the conti-
nent had not yet been decided.
With considerable emphasis the secre-
tary voiced his opinion that the war
like Interpretation thai had been made
in connection with the fleets movement
was not justified by the facts. In fact.
the widely published reports suggesting
hostile preparations seem to be a source
or irritation for the head OF the
He said:
"The feet which will be moved from
the Atlantic to the Pacific his winter
is coming to this side merely on a
practise cruise. The fleet will consist
of sixteen or more vessels. not more
than twenty. and its stay On this side
will moi be permanent. OF course, the
fleet will not come here. turn around
and go right back again. How long 1t
will remain in the Pacific will be de-
termined at the proper time.
There is no sound reaso or excuse
for all this talk by the public of an
attempt to overawe the Japanese. I do
not believe that the newspapers are
justified Or right in so constituting and
coloring the cruise of the warships to
the Pacific.
Every year the Atlantic fleet has
been sent on a cruise. Last year 1t
was sent to Guantanamo. This year 1t
will order the fleet to the Pacific coast.
The long cruise will give the men and
the vessels a thorough test and I'M
prove the efficiency of BOTH"

Gallant Young Pittsburger, Leaning from
Car, Is Struck by Another
and Killed.

PITTSBURG, July 9.-Because he
was so gallant, George Gray is dead.
Last night Gray, a young married man,
was on an open car with his wife, when
a woman was crowded on. There was
no seat for her, and Gray, who was
on the inside end of a seat. motioned
for the woman to crowd down. He
got up n gave her the seat beside
his wife.
Gray wasea large man, and It was
necessary for him to lean out over
the rail to allow the woman to slip
into his seat.
This he did with a laugh, which was
his last sound, as another fast-fying
car coming from the opposite direction
caught him, knocking him off the car
and dragged him some distance, fatally
injuring him.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT
ALARMED BY JING0ISM.
Places Most Optimistic Construction
Upon Plans to Send American
Fleet to Pacific.

PARIS. July 9.-The French Govern
ment greatly deprecates the alarmist view
of the Japanese-American situation taken
by a section Of the Paris press. and an
inspired statement. based presumably on
the foreign Offices advices, placing the
most optimistic construction upon the
plans to despatch the American battle
ship fleet to the Pacific was given out this
afternoon, as follows:
Much surprise is manifested In diplo-
matte circles oyer the excitement caused
by the plan to send the American battle
ship fleet to Pacific waters. Instead OF
tho step causing alarm there is reason to
believe that the decision of the American
government implies that the negotiations
proceeding between the Washington and
Toxic cabinets are making favorable
progress. The American government
beyond doubt would not order this naval
movement II it was likely to embarrass
the negotiations which have been going
on for some time between the W gov
ernments.''

FIELD BOARDING HOUSE,.
Is Pay Day for Workmen Building
Sewers, But No Money Is
Forthcoming.

PLAINFIELD. July "A mob of italian
laborers working on the new sewers
stormed the boarding house kept by Harry
Owen this morning. looking for Superin-
tendent Thomas Cusack and Paymaster
Edward O'Nelll. who left yesterday. It
happened to be pay day, and the laborers
wanted their money this morning.
Cu-ack and O'Neill packed up their be-
longings yesterday and settled with
Owen. saying they had trouble with the
contractor. Peter Morgan. who lives in
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. and were going
away. Their absence was discovered this
morning by the laborers. and work on the
sewers stopped.
Morgan took the contract from the city
in April, and, being sick and now In the
sanatorium at Clifton Springs. gave a
power OF attorney TO Cusack, who Is the
son of Alderman Cusack. of Kingston. to
go on with the work.
He hired ONeill for paymaster. 1t Is
