USE PROBE AGAIN
New York Legislators Consio-
ering Resolution to lnvesti-
gate Attorney General.
RESULT OF RECENT PANIC
Alleged to Have Prevented Solvent
Banks from Resuming and to
Have Aided Personal Friends.

Albany. y. Y, March 19.-In the
Legislature yesterday Senator Martin
SAKE of New York introduced a con-
current resolution providing. for, leg
islative investigation of the conduct
of William Schuyler Jackson as at
torney general of the state, especially
with reference TO receiVeTShipS OF
banks and trust companies.
The general impression about the
capitol is that the resolution will be
adopted and the investigation will be
Instituted.
Prevented Resumption.
The essential paragraph of the reso-
luton recites that during the recent
panic financial institutions in New
Yorl; city were compelled TO suspend.
and that it has since been widely
charged that the Office of the attorney
general has been used by Mr. Jack
son and his subordinates and asso-
ciates to prevent resumption of sol
vent banks and trust companies; that
he has procured the appointment of
political favorites as receivers of such
Institutions, and that by corrupt prac-
tices in the attorney generals Office
the present financial depression and
distress have been prolonged"
Senator SAKE said that he intro
duced the resolution at the instance
of certain bankers in New York city,
whose names ,he might give later, but
that it represented his own views.
Jackson Welcomes Inquiry.
New York. March l9.-Attcrney
General Jackson said last night that
he would welcome an investigation of
his office conducted in an impartial
manner. without personal feeling or
any consideration OF politics.
The attorney general said further:
Not one bank closed which did not
do so of its own accord Where l
thought the banks were able TO open
II have assisted them. Every act of
mine has been directly or primarily
in the interests of the depositors and
directed toward preventing the loot
ing OF the institutions. This can be
easily demonstrated by legislative in
quiry."

WANT TO Be A REPORTER?
SCHOOLBOYS, HERE'S CHANGE
TO GET A START IN LIFE
THE EVENING STAR Will Give Good Positions on It's Staff to
the Five Boys Who Show Greatest Proficiency as
Newsgatherers and Writers for its Columns.

TTHE EVENING STAR is going to make every schoolbey in
Newark a reporter for its columns. AT the end OF the school
year some of these boys ire going to be given a chance to enter
the newspaper profession as reporters under a salary. Here is how
this novel plan which will mean 50 much in education and experience
is going to be worked out:
Most every boy sees some incident or incidents in his daily life
which, if written in newspaper style, and sent in to THE EVENING
STAR, would be interesting to thousands of its readers. THE
EVENING STAR proposes to give the schoolboys of Newark aud its
surrounding cities and towns an opportunity to see what material they
are made of. 1t purposes to bring about a Battle of Wits among these
boys. 1t purposes to make a friendly rivalry among them that shall.
be as intense as the struggle they all make to win at the games they
play. And i'll the emf. the five boys who make the best showing will
be rewarded with positions in which they can start the more serious
duties of life with promises of better things before them for the early.
future.
1t is hard to define what is a newspaper story in a few words but
it is usually any happening that is rare, queer or unusual, or an event
which interests a group of persons. To the boys who show the clear
est perception and the best knowledge of composition and general news
value of the story the prize will go.
Every schoolboy in Essex County is invited to enter this contest
today. The first news item you see, boys, write it out on paper and
mail it to City Editor, THE EVENING STAR, Newark, N. J.
In writing boys must use one side of the paper only. Words
should be properly spelled and sentences correctly punctuated. Names
and addresses should be given in full, and care should be taken TO make
every statement accurate. Just a plain story of what happens, with.
out co1oring or comment, is warted. Boys should read THE
EVENING STAR carefully and note the style OF the paper and how
news articles are written. Each boy should give his name and address
in full. From time TO time the pictures of the boys who distinguish
themselves in the contest will be printed in this column.

A PLEA FOR JUDGE zABRIsKIE.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Sir: Bergen County's demand for the
reappointment of their model Judge"
David D.. Zabriskie. is still causing
great excitement; and all but very few
men of the county are working dill
gently to effect the same. Many good
old Republicans have said il their
wishes are not conceded to it will cause
a split in the Republican party. This
will be disastrous, in more ways than
one-and the county that has rolled
up such big Republican majorities win
henceforth be Democratic. Judge Ia
briskie's spotless career has been before
the public for weeks, and all are walt
ing anxiously for the Senate to confirm
his reappointment. This state of affairs
the seeming Indifference exhibited by
those in authority at Trenton to carry
out the wishes Of the people, is not only
unjust to a man of Judge Zabriskie's
type, but an insult to the Republican
party. Here is a man who a executed
his duties as judge, and dealt justice to
all within his jurisdiction in such 81
worthy manner that no laW-abiding
person can say ought but praise of him;
and yet, to satisfy the desires of two
or three, should the Senate-men SEN
by the people to work for the good OF
the people. turn their ear deafy now
to their demands? 1t is high time that
the judge Of every county should be
elected by the actual vote oil the people.
If such were taken in this case, Judge
Zabriskie would sweep the county unan-
imously. Petitions bearing the names
of every member of the bar of Bergen
County; the ministers from their pull
pits have urged their people, if a per-
sonal interview with those in authority
were impossible, to make their appeal
by letter, and thus retain him whose
work as judge has cleansed Bergen
County until 1t stands second to nonc
in New Jersey. Delegations of men
from Sunday schools and from the diff
ferent Y. NJ. c. AS have made per-
sonal appeals at Trenton for his reap
pointment, until it would seem the
wishes of this county ave become
imperative.
