NAME PLACED ON BAL
LOTS.
CLOSES ALL COURT AVENUES.
hlgh State Tribunal Does Not Prepare 6
Written Opinion, but Denies For
NAL Application.
BEEDLE IS REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

MED the petition of James f. Abbott of
Madison for leave to bring suit against

was denied
The denial of the motion closes every
avenue by which the matter can be
taken into court unless there is consider
able new evidence discovered and new
application made.
Outcome Long in Doubt.
The race between Beedle and Abbott
was close one and ii was not until last
Friday that the final outcome was made
certain. at that time, after Il complete
canvass of all the precincts in the state,
the board of canvaSSers issued Il certih-
cate to Beedle, It being determined on
the face Of the returns that he was the
winner by the close majority of 4S votes,
When the result was announced Mr.. Abb
bott declared that he would make no
further contest but that he would sup
port Beedle and be candidate two
years hence. His action III petitioning
the supreme court came as a surprise, al
though Mr.. Ahbott's friends say that it
is the result of close scrutiny of the vote
as canvaSsed by the state board, it being
claimed that there were errors in the
count.
Mr.. Abbott was represented in court
this morning by John Z. Sanborn and
Chauncey Blake. He was represented
before the board of canvassers by Rob
ert NJ. Bashford.

CORRECTING MILEAGE SHEET.
Some Discoveries Made That Will
Take Three Months to Correct.

Austin, Texas, April 15.-The Rail
road Commission has indicated its in
tention of giving the passenger agents
of the Texas roads ninety more days
within which to check and correct
every rate and distance in the Texas
passenger mileage sheet. The COM
mission ordered it done so that all
discrepancies would be eliminated.
The commission had numerous COM
plants that the passenger rates were
different between the same points
over different routes instead of the
inviolable short line mileage govern
ing all routes. Complaint was also
made that in some instances the fare
in one direction would be different
from the fares in the opposite direc-
ton between the same points. This
was ordered corrected, as well as all
inconsistencies. Mr.. Crush of the
Katy, at the conclusion of today's
hearing, asked for an extension, argu-
ing that at least ninety days should
be granted, as it would take that much
time, and he added that a committee

DR.. C. H. PARKHURsT,
Presbyterian Divine and Reformer, Is
Sixty-Six Years Old Today.

Special to the Herald.
New York, April 17-Dr. Charles
Henry Parkhurst was sixty-six years
old today and was reminded of the an
niversary by the receipt of numerous
letters and messages of congratula-
ton. Commissioner Bingham of the
police department probably was. not
among the senders of these felicitous
greetings, for Dr. Parkhurst recently
incurred the ire of the commissioner
by publicly stating that conditions in
the metropolis at the present time
were if anything worse than in the
days of the BEST CHER Deyery.
The eminent Presbyterian divine
and reformer, who gained fame by his
picturesque crusades in the "Red
Light district that ultimately result
ed in the famous Lexnow investiga-
ton, was born in Pennington, Mass,
in 1912, and received his education at
Amherst College. Later he studied
theology in Germany and upon his re-
turn to the United States was an in
structor for time in the Williston
Seminary. For twenty-eight years he
has been the pastor of the Madison
Square Presbyterian church in this
city and for more than half of that
time has been president of the Society
for the Prevention of Crime.

GREAT FESTIVITIES ON
At Genoa This Week In Celebration of
Silver Wedding Anniversary of
Duke and. Duchess of Genoa.
Special to the Herald.

Rome, April 17-Genoa has been
the scene of great festivities this
week in celebration of the silver we'd
ding anniversary of the Duke and
Duchess of Genoa The Duke is the
only brother of the Dowager Queen of
Italy, and an uncle, therefore, of King
Victor Emmanuel III. The wedding
celebration was attended by many
members of the Italian royal family,
among them the King and Queen, the
Dowager Queen Marguerite, the Duke
and Duchess of Aosta, the Count of
Turin and the Duke of Abruzzi. The
Duke and Duchess of Genoa are very
popular throughout the kingdom, be-
cause of their benevolence.
The Duke of Genoa has visited
America several times in his capacity
of an admiral of the Italian navy. He
is a great admirer of the English and
Americans, which is probably due to
the fact that he received his educa-
ton in England When he was
child he was sent to school at Har-
row, and many amusing stories are
related of his experiences there. In
1869 the Cortes decided to offer the
crown of Spain to the Duke, who was
then young student at Harrow.
When the news went abroad that the
offer had been accepted all of the five
hundred boys in the school kicked the
Duke, with the laudable ambition of
being able to say in after life that they

OBSERVE THE PASSOVER
Feast of UnIeavened Bread Being Gel
ebrated- BY the Jewish People
Throughout the World.
Special to the Herald.

New York, April 17.-Jewish people
throughout the world are today eel
ehrating the Hebrew Feast of Pesach,
or the Passover This festival, which
leavened Bread, was instituted to COM
memorate the departure of the Chill
dren of Israel from Egypt, under the
leadership of Moses, where they had
been held in bondage for upward of
four hundred years.
The reformed Jews, as well as the
orthodox Jews, who adhere religiously
to all the wonderful symbolism and
ritual which make Jewish worship pic
turesque and beautiful, observe the
Passover feast, which means more to
the Jew than any other of his religious
celebrations. The reformed Jews do
not adhere so closely to all the symbo-
lism of the celebration, but their OBJ
servances differ only in that they are
not so elaborate.
The feature of the celebration is the
substitution of unleavened cakes, or
matzos, prepared for the purpose, for
bread in the household of the ortho-
dox Hebrews. Each year, as Pass
over approaches, thousands of pounds
of matzos are baked for the occasion,
and it is estimated that in the upper
east side alone more than ten thou
sand matzos are required for the poor
families. The annual sale from the
bakeries throughout the city is SO
large that it requires large moving
vans to take them to the various
points of distribution. This is not sur
prising when the fact is borne in mind
that New York city contains more
Jewish inhabitants than any other half
dozen cities of the world combined.
The night ushering in the Passover
festival is known as .Seder" night,
and is made the occasion of a family
gathering devoted to a special service
around the supper table, which is
decked out in peculiar manner with
matzos and other accessories incident
al to the feast Gathered around the
table, the 'Hagadah" is read and re-
cited.
The "Hagadah" contains narrative
of the deliverance of the Jews from
their Egyptian bondage as set forth in
the bible, and is read by the head of
the household, either in the original
Hebrew or as an English translation.
The Gthsr members of the family join
int the singing singing uf /,
hymns OF praise and thanksgiving to
their divine liberator.
The Pesach Feast continues for
eight days, but only the first and last
days are celebrated as holy days. In
the large number of Hebrew syna-
gogues in Greater New York, both re-
formed and orthodox, services were
held this morning and sermons appro-
pirate to the occasion were preached
