SENTIMENT FOR JERSEYMAN

Chancery Clerk Vivian Lewis
Named Among the Possibili-
ties for State Executive.
Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, Feb. 24.-Notwithstand-
ing Governor John Franklin Forts do
MIA that his White House visit had
any''',g to do with politics and his
positive statement that President
Roosevelt did not mention his being a
candidate for the ce-presidency, the
Republicans about the State House
feel quite confident that the New Jer-
sey executive will be selected for sec
ond place at the Chicago convention.
In view of this situation, there is con.
siderable speculation as to who viii
succeed him in the gubernatorial chair.
Senator Everett Colby, of Essex Coun-
~, is among those whose anne have
been mentioned with favor.
Should Governor Fort he nominated
and retire from the executive Office
within thirty days of next falls cleo
ton a new Governor would be elected
at that time. In the interval between
resignation and election the act
ing Governor would be the president
of the Senate, Senator Thomas j: Hill
lery, of Morris County.

Can Hold once.

Should the Governor not resign until
after election he could remain in Office
until the reorganization of the Legis-
lature in 1909, and then turn the place
over to the new president of the Senate,
or he could retire at once and allow
Mr.. Hillery to serve as acting Cover
nor until the Legislatures reorganiza-
ton. The president of the next Senate
will probably be Senator Samuel K.
Robbins, of Burlington County. now
majority leader in the upper House.
In the event of the nomination Of
the Governor to the national ticket, it
is believed that he would at once re-
sign, as he did from the Supreme Court
bench when he was named as a guber-
material nominee. 1t is expected hat
Inc would make a campaign for the
higher Office somewhat along 40 lines
of his vigorous warfare of last fall,
when he toured the State almost con-
stantly from the time of his nomina-
ton until the day of the balloting.

NO JAIL FOR DEBT
UNDER CIVIL LAW,
RULES HIGH COURT
If Such Were Case Debtor Might
GOtO Prison for Life, Says
Justice Bergen.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, June 16.-That a person
cannot be imprisoned for debt on a civil
process is demonstrated in an opinion
filed by Justice Bergen in the Court Of
Errors and Appeals today in the case Of
John Maroney against Viola LaBarre,
who was sentenced by the Hudson
County Common Pleas Court for debt.
In his opinion, Justice Bergen declares
that IL the rule. as laid down by the
Hudson Common Pleas Court and the
Supreme Court of this State, is a good
one, a person so arrested and impris-
oned may be held in Jail for life.
Continuing, he says:
The act under consideration has for
its principal object the discharge of
persons imprisoned under civil process.
1t undoubtedly has some of the features
of a bankrupt act. but it lacks the
essential characteristics of a bank
ruptcy law In that ii does not absolute
ly discharge the debt, but restraints its
use as a basis for Imprisonment, and
while the debtor is required To assign
his property towards the liquidation of
his debts, such assignment is subject,
so far as his property and estate is
concerned, to proceedings that nay be
instituted under the national bankrupt
act. The conclusion we reach is that
the act is not in conflict with the federal
bankruptcy law and is not suspended
thereby"

SMALL, BUT APPRECIATIyE
AUDIENCE. GREETS "ROBIN HOOD"

The Aborn OPERA Company opened it's
regular summer season at Olympic
Park last night with ROBIN Hood"
De Koven and Smiths familiar success
was sung and acted in a ann that
called for a much larger audience than
hat which verftured out IN the rain at
ethe opening performance.
Appreciativeness made up for lack of
numbers, however, and the audience
applaided the many good points of the
performance generously. The song,
ooh, Promise Me- sung by Fritzie Won
Busing, a native of Berlin and citizen
of Newark, received several encores.
The Brown October Ale" song was
another success.
Miss Busting, contralto, as Alan-a-
Dale, and Magda Dahl, soprano, as
Marian, are the new faces in the cast,
and they are both gifted with pleasing
voices.
Next week 1.-THE Wizard of the Nile"

TR|UMPHS OVER
NATIONAL BODY
Gets Restraining Order in Legal
Fight, Establishing Suprem-
acy of Jurisdiction.

TRENTON, June 16.-The New. Jer-
sey State Council, Junior Order United
American Mechanics, has won a legal
victory over the National Council insa
decision handed down by the Court of
Errors and Appeals. This cuts off any
further legal action on the part of the
national body in this State, and makes
the New Jersey State Council supreme
In it's jurisdiction.
The question at issue was the right
Of the National Council to appeal to
the highest judicial tribunal of New
Jersey within three years of a decision
of the lower court. The Legislature of
1907 passed an act changing the time
for appeals from three years to one
year.
When the State and National Coun-
ellis split the national body organized
councils in Camden and Long Branch.
The State Council obtained a court or
der restraining these councils from
acting as Jr. o. u. A. M. organizations
except by charter from the State body,
and also stopping the National Council
from going on with the formation of
subordinate lodges.

STATE PAPERS ON
CLAIMS OF CHURCH
STOLEN IN JERSEY
Correspondence Written by
Roosevelt Among Documents
Taken in Railroad Station.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY, June 16.-Secret serv-
ice men are today exhausting their ef-
forts in a search for important letters
interchanged between President Roose-
welt, Secretary Root and Governor Ma
COON with Catholic Church dignitaries
in Porto Rico and Cuba, which were
stolen from the Pennsylvania depot
here yesterday afternoon.
Grammond Kennedy, an International
lawyer who has done much important
work for the State Department, had
the letters in his suit case, which he
laid aside for a moment to purchase a
parlor car ticket to Washington. When
he returned the suit case was gone.
Several of the letters cannot be re-
placed, no copies having been made of
them.
Serious delay in the settlement of the
insular ecclesiastical claims, to which
the papers refer, will result from their
loss.
The papers stolen are now of value
largely in connection with the claim of
the church to title upon convent prop
erty in Porto Rico, which does not
come under the decision already rem
dered.

ness to GO forth and attack any parties
