JESS ACTING GOVERNOR
Speaker to Rule State While Fort
and HiIIery Are at Chicago.

Trenton. June 15:-In addition to
being chief examiner of the new
State Civil Service Commission,
Frank B. Jess. of Camden, speaker
Of the last house of assembly, is also
acting governor of New Jerey this
week.
Governor Fort and Senator Thorn
as ]. Hillery, of Morris county, presi-
dent of the senate, left the state Sat
urday afternoon to go to the republi-
can national convention at Chicago.
Under the provisions of the consti-
tuition, the speaker of the house is
next in line for the governorship, in
the absence from the state of the
governor and president of the sem
ate. Therefore, should anything
arise requiring executive action, Mr..
Jess will have to be sworn in as act
ing governor. Should he leave the
state during the absence of Governor
Fort and Senator Hillery, New Jer-
sey viii have to get along while he
Is away without governor.
Only one occasion is recorded in
the history of the state when a
speaker of the house acted as COVER
nor, and singularly at that time he
was a South Jerseyman. That was
when Governor Griggs resigned to
accept the United States attorney
generalship, and Foster M. Voorhees,,
then president of the senate, became
acting governor. Senator Voorhees,
resigned to accept the gubernatorial
nomination, and David o. Watkins,
of Woodbury., speaker of the house,
was sworn in as acting governor.

.BLAMES FAILURES ON
LACK OF GOODNESS
Preacher in BaccaIanreate Sermon
at Rutgers College Points Out
Cost of Crime.

New Brunswick, June 15:--Lack
OF godliness in some OF the big insti-
tutions was held to be responsible for
some OF the failures during the past
year by Rev. John Fagg, OF New
York, in his sermon to the Rutgers
College graduates last night on
Spiritual GodIiness." He safd
Goodness has social values. IL
godliness had been inthroned in
many an institution of large and high
finance that has gone to the wall
during the year, that institution
would still be standing commanding
the confidence and patronage of the
community. Men ignored God and
great regulations melted like snow
before the sun. They are sitting by
the ashes of great names, reduced
to einders and ashes in the furnace
of great popular righteous judg-
ment
"The cost of crime to New York
city for one single year Is enough to
build two subways a year The cost
of crime to the United States is
enough, IL our people were righteous
for two years, to pay the whole ma
tional debt. Be athletes for God.
Think of the value of one athlete In
a critical moment, in a great contest.
Stand up, strike out, count one for
God and the right"
A large congregation heard the adj
vice given by the preacher to the

FEWER FOREST HLAzEs
New Jerseys Patrol System is Work
ing Out Well.

Trenton, June 15:-The special
report of the New Jersey Forestry
Commission, which has just reached
Governor Fort, shows that, despite
the exceptional high winds and con-
ditions conducive to fire in March,
April and May, there were but 49,
469 acres burned over, with a mon
ey loss of $28,228 for 249 fires,
while without the forest fire patrol,
in 1908, there were S5,046 acres
burned over, with a loss of $305,744.
The report shows that in 1903
the fires lasted many days, while in
the last three months no fire lasted
more than eleven hours, and in many
cases the blazes were put out in q
few minutes by the efficient patrol
system. 1t is also shown that the
municipalities bear the greater bur
den Of the expenses Of this patrol,
although no municipality bears more
than $500 "a year expense, and the
expense is where the forests are.

Auto Numbers Hard to Read.

Trenton, June 15:-Complaint is
being made to the road department
as we'll as to the department OF
motor vehicles, that the new auto
mobile tags, issued by the depart
ment, are hard to read, much harder
than the old style. The new mum
bers begin at $500, and this adds to
the difficulty in reading them. The
auto department, however, declares
that the inspectors on motorcycles
have no, trouble in reading the num-
bers of passing autos. Next year the
new numbers will begin with No. 1,
and then it is thought there will be
little trouble in reading them.
