WARNS ANARCHISTIC
EDITOR TO BE CAREFUL.

PATTERSON, Mar. 25;-Ludovico
Caminita, editor of La QUESTION: So
ciale, has received a letter signed
vigilance Committee of the Law and
Order League" which says:
I'VE take this method of informing
you that we will not stand for a pub
LEGATION that incites riot and disorder
and arouses dissatisfaction among
the working element. We will teach
you that American citizens will not
allow foreigners to band together to
destroy life and property. This you
have done, as shown by the cowardly
assassination of Justice Robert Cor
tese a few weeks ago. This is a free
country so long rs a man abides by
the laws, but as soon as you step over
the boundary we will take the case iii
our own hands and drive every anar-
chist out of the city. We are sending
you a warning, and it will be well for
you to heed it."
Caminita, replying to the letter,
says he believes that the senders are
members of the Malta, and, after taxi
ing refuge behind the constitution of
the United States, declares:
we believe that every person who
| stands for private property and gov
! eminent commits a crime. We have
| the right, as an economical and pol
itical party, to propagate our princi-
| pies like any other political party"

IN FIERCE FIGHT.

laborers became engaged in a fierce
combat at the Raritan copper works

handy, for several minutes. Just
when the matter had seemed to be
settled and the combatants were
standing about, John Beack, of 319
New Brunswick avenue, a brother of
one of the fighters, went up to con

on the top of his head. Dr.. G. w.
Tyrrell was h~urriedly called and
dressed the wound. The injured man
was taken to his home and the other
men engaged in the fight went to
work without further trouble.

handlers were working near the red

125 feet away from me. A quick

freight boys says: That's Rafles;"

muddy fields, didn't dare look back
nor run, for every minute | expected
| one of the men to come up behind me
and hand out the right words, but
my good luck was with me, for as
| walked around the old church at
the head of Kirkland place l glanced
back and there was no one in sight.
Strolling down Kirkland place, !

swer to my knock; at 80, the lady
down stairs had a machine, but took
a booklet. AS | was leaving, the
lady living in the upper part of the

l had to sell. Sewing machines? oh,
my, she wouldn't have n for a

to slap her on the wrist, but | gave
her my last booklet instead.
Continuing on down kirkland

tered Alexander Balint's grocery
street. | purchased three cents
worth of bologna, eating it on the

From here | made a circuit OF

RAFFLES.

Rallies yesterday. He said Satur-
day that he might visit NiXon's ship
yard and the people were ready for
him. John Peterson, standing in
Woods confectionery, saw $50 fade
away in a most disappointing man
ner. A New York Journal reporter
was in Tottenville looking up some
church story. The reporter answers
the description of Raffies somewhat.
He entered Woods store and by his
unusual questions he excited sus-
picion. Peterson thought he saw
an easy $50 and, taking an EVEN
ING NEWS from his pocket, he plac-
ed his hand on the reporters shou-
der and, said: You are the mysteri-
GUS Mr.. Raffles from Sections drug

PLAINFIELD, Mar. 25:-S. D.
Drake, of Dewey Park, a small settle
ment near here, has sent an offer to
Upton Sinclair of a large frame struc-
ture in the Park for him to use in
starting the colony which was burned
out by fire at Englewood March 16.
The location, Mr.. Drake states, is
just between Plainfield and Bound
Brook, near enough to get the adj
vantage of both, and yet far enough
away to have all the territory needed
for the growth of the colony. He
says the colony may have the house

Management Of jamestown Exposition
to Be Revolutionized
NORFOLK. Va. June 28.-At meeting

seven departments Of the exposition-ways
and means. admissions and concessions,
congresses and special events, exhibits, his
tory and education, transportation and
works-each with governor at its head,

ranging from $4,000 to 5000 annually,
will be legislated out of existence. The
operating expenses of the exposition were
also shaken down about 40 per cent or
from S120,O0O to $4,000 monthly
All power formerly exercised by the
board of governors will now be exercised

the management of the affairs Of the ex-
position Is absolute. He can remove officer

partment, even the heads Of the four new
departments.

fective July 8. when the exposition direc-
tors will again meet and formally declare

render the affairs of their offices.
The board of governors as now organized
is as follows: c. Brooks Johnston, chair
man and governor of the department of
congresses and special events; Barton
Myers. governor of ways and means and

WILL HURRY TO HAVANA
RODGERS TO RELIEVE STEIN
HART AS CONSUL GENERAL.
Has Received Instructions From the
State Department for His
Guidance.

Consul General Rodgers, late of shang-
hal, and recently transferred to Havana,
left Washington Monday for Havana,
after having received the Instructions Of
the State Department for his guidance in
his new duties. These duties under the
peculiar conditions governing the relation
of America and Cuba, are very different
from those at any other of the American
consulates general. The consul is proceed
ing under rush orders from the department,
SO that he had not been able to avail Of the
usual leave of absence in his own country,
nor even to take the full measure Of time
accorded for the reception of formal in
structions incident to a change in post.
The explanation is to be found in the
fact that the department is under pledge
to relieve Mr.. Steinhart as American con-
sui general at Havana by July (having al
ready postponed that relief once), and it
was regarded as desirable to afford the two
officials an opportunity for conference be-
fore the change was made.
ncldentaily, the desire OF Mr.. Rodgers
to faithfully carry out the wishes Of the
department led him into what promised to
be serious trouble.
Just as he was about to sail from Shang-
hal the consul general received a visit from
Judge Whitley of the United States court
there, who Informed him that an American
lawyer in Shanghai named G. F. Curtis was
seeking 10 DrlTS action against the consul
general, claiming damages of $55,O 900 gold,
on account of Mr.. Rodgers action in the
administration of the estate of the late
Henry H. Cunningham of Belfast Maine,
who died in Shanghai a short time ago.
Judge Wiley, it is understood, allowed Mr..
Rodgers to depart under the impression that
he would not entertain any such action in
his court.
1t was only upon arriving in this coun-
try that Mr.. Rodgers learned that Mr. Cur
tbs had filed the complaint. He immedi-
ately acquainted the State Department with
These were that the Cunningham estate
had been administered by the American
consulate general precisely as were all
other estates Of Americans dying at Shang-
hal, and that the point made by Mr.. Curtis
was purely technical.
1t did not in any way reflect upon the in
tegrity of the official, but it denied the right
OF the American consular court to exercise
the function Of court Of probate. Part
of the action necessary in such case was
the bringing Of suit in Maine, in the name
of Albert w. Cunningham. to have the will
Of H. H. Cunningham probated there.
