MAYOR CONTINUES
HIS FIGHT AGAINST
WOOD PAVEMENT
Says He Will Veto Another
Board of Works ResO-
luton.
COMBINE CONTROLS
OUTPUT OF CREOSOTE
Board Is Ready to Override
Veto to Get Wooden
Blocks.

my vetoes show that I am opposed
to every scheme to lay wood blocks
In any Newark street." Mayor Hauss-
ling said today, when a majority of
the property-owners In a street protest
against the laying of that pavement In
the street. There are different ways In
which the public can be protected
against the wood block people who are
seeking a foothold In u city. but I
shall not say just what action will be
taken, but 1 will act at the proper
time. Property-owncrs car take action
also"
1.-THE fight against the wood block
pavement has only begun" said City
Counsel James r. Nugent. land 1t will
be continued vigorously" go
A citizen who Is well posted on street
work and contractors and companies
that make a feature of street paving
said that a big combine that controls
the output of creosote In this country
will probably not bid for the contract
to lay wood blocks in South Fourteenth
street, but that 1t will do the work..
This big combine Is laying the wood
blocks In New York city," he said,
through other contractors who repre-
sent the combine, and it will do the
same here II the Board of Works can
award a contract for paving Market
street, from the Court House east to
the Market street railroad station. But
I do not believe wood blocks will be
laid on that street, as or Ferry and
Bowery streets, for property-owners
are being aroused and will act for their
own interests"
Mayor Haussling will veto q resolu-
ton adopted by the o Of Works
yesterday directing Chief Engineer
Sherrerd to advertise for proposals for
paving streets with wood blocks. The
board will, 40 doubt, pas the resolu-
ton over his veto, as 1t did the resolu-
ton yesterday authorizing the prepar-
ing Of specifications for paving with
wood blocks.
Mr.. Sherrerd said at the session Of
the board yesterday, in reply to a ques-
ton by President Book. while the
Mayors veto was being discussed, that
in New York city wood blocks treated
WIN 20 per cent. -rOSln were lalQ, ana
that competition was pen to any con-
tractors because rosin could be bought
at the market price. He admitted that
one company claims 1t can give so per
cent. of rosin in its wood blocks cheap
er than any other concern that gives
rs per cent, and he said the Newark
specifications are being prepared on the
line of the New York specifications,
which call for rs per cent. of rosin. He
was not asked what concern controls
the output of c%reosote. and has a mo-
nopoly of this material.
President Book said he had conf
dence in the engineering department,
and It would safeguard the interests Of
the city. In regard to protesting prop
.erty-owners. he remarked that 1t was
not always wise to do what property
owners asked, for many streets would
not be paved. The interests of the en-
tire city required at times that GER
tain main streets be paved, and the
city authorities should have the work
done.

FOOTBALL MAY SAVE
Carlisle Indian School in Great Battle Which is Near

TEAMS SPLENDID RECORD
Indians Friends Desire School Out of Hands of Military Au-
 thorities.

If can be stated on high authority in the Indian bureau that there is nothing in the reports that the resigna- tion of Major William A. Mercer in wolves an overturn in the Carlisle In- dian school.
 There has been no dissatisfaction with Major Mercer except among the element which clings to the former head of the school, Colonel Richard Pratt. who was virtually removed for favoring a policy which was metaphor ically described as killing the Indian and putting a white man in his place. !"
 The Pratt party has been pretty thor oughly cleared out of Carlisle, and the school was running in harmony with the ideas of Indian Commission Leupp as to what Indian education should be.
 This .dea is that the young from the reservations should be trained without any attempt to take all the Indian out of them. They are now permitted and even encouraged to retain their Indian names.
 The boys are not rechristened Arte- mus Ward and George Francis Train, and the girls Carrie Nation and Belva Lockwood, as they actually were under a former regime

LIGHT SENTENCE FOR IVES.
Former New Haven Man for Desertion
 Given Only Four Months.

Torrington. Dec 9t.Herbert N. Ives, who was arrested in Torrington about two months ago, charged with being a deserter from the United States army, and who has been confined at the post In New London awaiting the court martial. has been sentenced to four months confinement in military prison. It was expected that he would be given a two years sentence, but owing to the fact that his offense was c,assed as absence without leave in stead of assertion, the sentence was reduced by about one year and eight months.
 The probability Is that Ives will be held at the post In New London in stead of being sent back to California, where he was at the time of his de- sertion. His wife and three children are still living in Torrington. and are being supported by the town and va rious charitable organizations. They will probably stay here until Ives has completed his sentence, when he will return to duty. While a prisoner he will receive S6 a month as pay; his regular pay while on duty is $l6 a month.
 Ives formerly came from New Ha- ven with his wife and children.

THE ORIGIN OF PROFANITY.

One proposition there is which needs to be stated emphatically at
 this point Words and phrases which are amply sufficient for the under standing are often altogether inade-I quate for the expression of the feel- ings. The result of this mental dis- satisfaction with the communication of mere knowledge is most conspicu-
 ously illustrated in the wide preval-' ence of profanity. Into the dlscussionl of this practice it's moral and religi-l ous aspect does not entersat all It isI purely from the linguistic side that it is here to be considered. So loolI ed at, it's existence and the extent of the indulgence in it bear out the truth
 of the principle just announced. Whatever intellectual Justification there may be for profanity is based upon the fact that men arc aiming td The habit is in consequence, subject to the general law governing intcn-s sives. To a verS great extent the prac-l tice of swearing is specially character-
 isetic of q rude and imperfect civiliz- alton. With the advance of culturei profanity declines. It declines not so1 much because men become peculiariN sensitive to it's viciousness, but they do to it's ineffectivencss. The growtii1 Of refinement both in the individual and in the community tends more tds it's disuse than all the exhortations of moralists or the rebvlses of divines.'
 Much must always be allowed i'll thes case of particular persons for the in-s fluenoe of early training and associ- 1 alton. Exceptions are. therefore, tod
 numerous to lay down any positivel rule; still, It is safe to say in general | that mans intellectual development
 is largely determined by the extent oil his indulgence in profanity. No one, indeed, doubts its wide prevalence al
 the present time. But compared to tht
 practice of the past, it has been steads | fly, even slowly diminishing for ceni. turies This does not prove that met

 than they were. It does show, howevet that there exists now higher averj.

RABID RACE TALK BY JUDGE.
Retiring from Bench Declares Negro
 Degcncrating to Savage State.

Savannah. Ga Dec 3f.--Thomas H. Norwood. 'ormer congressman and eX- United States senator from Georgia, de- livered a remarkable address upon the race question to-day, the occasion be- ing his retirement from the bench of the city court, place he has occupied for twelve years.
 The judge said that after investiga- tion and long contact with the negro as a defendant in his court he had reach ed the conclusion that the black is in- capable of receiving and using more than the rudiments of an education The negro as a Slave, was cared for by the white man. he said, but the pres ent generation is retrograding to the status of the savage and his rule by force. This Is shown by the constant disregard of laws repeated resistance of arrest and shooting down of white men who attempt to control them. The mulatto is the curse of both the white and the negro race in the south, said Judge Norwood
 Illicit miseegination, he held, should be made a capital offense, the guilty man hanged and the woman sent to the penitentiary for life.

Waterbury. Dec. 31,-A meeting of the stockholders of the Waterbury Athletic corporation, which controls the state league baseball team and the grounds at Rockville, will be held some time next week. The meeting will mark the passing of the old board of direc- tors and the election of new officers.
 The stock which was placed on sale about three weeks ago has been practi- cally disposed of and the next season will open with big change in the personnel of the club officers. There will be many more interested in the club than formerly, the shares being taken out by a large number of lndi- viduals instead of being controlled by few, as formerly. There has been little trouble in disposing of the stock, as Waterbury baseball has become a fine proposition during the past season.

annual appropriation and thus abolish ing it.
 An attempt to do this was made at the last session of congress, when sev- eral senators and representatives from the plains states urged that all Indiar education should be carried on in the west, where most of the Indians are found.
 They proposed to build up Haskell Indian institute in Kansas and one or two schools still further west at the expense of Carlisle.
 A good many friends of the Indians believe that 1t would be better for the school to be taken out Of the hands of the military authorities altogether. The young Indians are said not to relish the regimental discipline. In this exigency. the Carlisle schools football record may stand it in very good stead. It is heroic episode, prov ing the pluck and adaptability of the Indian race.
 The American people may not like to see a school that can make such a record wiped out for the sake of pure " local interests or to wreak a per sonal spite.
