THAT MOTT
WILL Be SELECTED
As PROSECUTOR
Friends Say He Will Be APP
pointed Irrespective OF Coun-
selOrship Regulation.
STATUTE REQUIREMENT
SAID UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Is a Restriction of Governors
Powers, and Therefore
Unlawful.

There is little doubt in the minds of
those who are close to Governor Fort
that the successor of the late Henry
Young as prosecutor will be Wilbur A.
Mott, Who was assistant to Mr.. Young,
and has been named acting prosecutor
until the appointment Of a successor.
1t was stated today by one of the
friend of Mr.. Mott, that Mr.. Mott would
be named, irrespective of the fact
whether he is a counselor-at-law or
not, and. therefore, irrespective, also. of
the fact whether the bill introduced in
the Legislature to permit attorneys of
ten years standing to be named as
prosecutors, should or should not be
passed.
The Constitution of the State says
that prosecutors of the pleas shall be
nominated by him and appointed b.
him, with the advice n consent IF
the Senate" The regulation that he
shall be a counselor-at-law is statutory,
and it was said by friends of Mr.. Mott
that this restriction of the Governors
powers is a~ntagonistic to the Constitu-
ton.
Then. again, 1t may be hat the ap-
pointment will not be made until after
the Legislature shall have adjourned
and when the next Legislature assem-
bles, when Mr.. Motifs appointment
would have to be ratified, he will prob
ably be a counselor-at-law, and the
custom of naming a counselor will have
beer complied with, If any objection
should be made by the Senate next
year.
There was a report in circulation to-
day that the Governor a offered the
appointment to Sheriff Sommerr and
the latter would resign as sheriff ut
once to accept the place If the Governor
would appoint Under-sheriff Mason.
This the sheriff denied without quail
fication.
A point those who circulated the ru-
NOR had ignored, was that if Mr..
Mason should accept, he would not be
eligible under the constitution to sue
coed himself, and therefore could not
be a candidate next fall for the office
of which he is DESTROYS.

CITIZENS MAY
STOP BUILDING
OF CITY STABLE
Protests Against Erection OF
Structure at Fourteenth Ave.
and South Eighth st.
DOMINICAN FATHERS JOIN
IN STRONG OPPOSITION
Board of Works Lets Contract,
but Injunction Restraining
Work May Be Sought.

Following the passage of a resolution
by the Board of Works to build a stable
at Fourteenth avenue and South Eighth
street, a residence section, comes the
statement today of Fire Commissioner
r. Edward Burke hat a conference of
protesting property-holders will be held
soon to consider the advisability of
applying for an injunction to prevent
the erection of the building.
Despite a delegation of property
owners, a protest from the Board of
Education and a relnonstrance from the
Dominican fathers. who have erected a
fine house at South Orange avenue and
south Eighth street. the board yester-
day accepted a bid of S3,S6s from Walter
E. Eisert to cover the cost of the build
ing. Work will be begun on the struc-
ture within thirty days, unless enjoined
by the courts. It will be 80 by 80 feet
and will Accommodate twenty-four
horses.
Three Grounds of Objections.
Property-owners object on the ground
that a residence section is no place for
a municipal stable; the Board of Edu-
cation protested that on ccoun of the
proximity of the Fourteenth Avenue
School the location was undesirable,
and the Dominican fathers remon-
strated that it's presence might effect
the purity of water in the reserve reser-
voir at South Orange avenue and South
Eighth street.
Frank j. Book, president of the Board
of Works, said today that he had per-
sonally examined the property after
the receipt of complaints against build
ing the stable. He found, he says, h a
the neighborhood was not strictly n
residential one; that property was not
restricted and that the protests were
justified. The site was the most
convenient one the board could get, he
said.
The closeness to the South Orange
avenue reservoir IS a most desirable
feature" he said. "In case of acci-
dent 1t would be necessary to have
men n teams rushed to this point,
and the closer their headquarters is to
the reservoir the better the insurance
against serious damage in case of acct
dent

SENATE HEARS
TRAGIC TALE Of
A COCAINE F|END
Debating THE EVENING STARS
Bill, Senator Leayitt Tells OF
Young Mans Sad Death.
tFrom a staff correspondent.l

TRENTON, April 3.-The need OF
THE EVENING STARS anti-cocaine
bill was forcibly brought home 70 the
Senate by Mr.. Leavitt, of Mercer, yes
terday. Although the measure did not
get to third reading it was not on ac-
count of any opposition developed
among the members of the upper house.
The story which had come to Mr..
Leavitt's attention was one of a young
man who only a day or two G died
in Asbury Park from the effects of
constant injections of cocaine. The
a whose name was Albert Levein.
came to Asbury Park from New York.
He began acting strangely as soon as
he left the train. Sitting down on the
platform of the station he tore his
shoes and collar off and then ran bare
footed across the square, shouting
madly.
1t was some time before the police
were able to capture him, and when
they did 1t was all they could do to get
him to the police station. He was
locked up after he had been7 examined
and pronounced a cocaine fiend. AL
though everything was done to save
him, he died in a few hours. Pas
sengers on the train with him said that
he had used a hyperdermic syringe five
times on the trip from New York. A
bag of needles was found in his pocket
when he was searched. He was ar
rested at Keyport six weeks ago during
an attack similar to the one which
killed him.
Levein lost his arm in the South sew
eral years ago, and it is understood be-
came so respondent that he took to
the use of cocaine.

B|SSELL WINS
FIGHT TO REOPEN
GRAFT CHARGES
Law Committee of State Board
of Education Unanimous
in Decision.

Thomas J.. Bissell, the suspended
principal of the Charlton Street School,
has won the first skirmish in his fight
for reinstatement. The law committee
of the State Board of Education has
referred the matter back to the State
Board of Examiners. Another hearing
will be held shortly, at which Bissell
will be present, witnesses for the de-
Tense win be introduced and all testi-
flying in the case will do so under oath.
This action was taken yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the law COM
.mittee of the State Board of Educa-
ton in the Office of Edward Russ,
chairman, Second National Bank build
ing, Hoboken. Mr.. Bissell and his coun-
sci, Alderman Jerome T. Congleton, of
this city, were present. The board of
examiners was represented by Charles
J. Baxter and Dr.. James F. Green, and
h medical board by DR.. O'Neal. all
of whom protested against reopening
the case.
Unanimous for Reopening.
The committee decided that the de-
posed principal was entitled to a
judicial hearing, the vote being unani-
NOUS. In the former hearing MIR. Bis
sell was not allowed to be present, and
the witnesses were not sworn.
The date for the hearing has not yet
been determined.
Interest in the controversy still runs
high at the Charlton Street School,
among teachers and pupils alike, by
whom Mr.. Bissell was held in high es-
TEEN. Delegations from the school have
called upon DR.. Poland, city superin-
tendent, asking him to aid Bissell.
He was suspended February Is by
the State Board of Examiners, on the
charge that he had given a bogus GER
.~tiflcate of graduation from the Fleming
ton High School to Herman P. Rieger
for a consideration of 5000. Bissell was
formerly principal of the Pennington
Hfgh School. The charge was preferred
by the Board of Medical Examiners, to
whom Rieger had presented the c~ertifi-
cate WIN applying for a license to

Poison For Field Pests.

The prairie dog pest is being fought
very successfully in the prairie states
by new method of using poison. The
plan is of some interest to eastern
farmers because of its possible use in
fighting other pests, such as wood
chucks, squirrels, etc. The poison is
preparation Of strychnine, syenite of
prepared by coating wheat with
potassium, annis oil and molasses. The
poisoned wheat is carried in tin pals
and men On horseback distribute the
material near the entrance of the
holes. A little practice enables the
men to distribute the wheat while
keeping their horses at a sharp trot.
Immense areas are covered in this
way, and the poison is very effective
and speedy. Most of the prairie dogs
in colony are dead within an hour
or two after the bait is dropped The
poison is used in the spring when the
dogs first come out from their winter
quarters, and before the grass is
formed to appease their hungry appe-
tites. The exact directions for pre-
pairing the formula may be obtained
from the Forest Service of the De-
partment Of Agriculture
Cultivator.

Corn is a most desirable feed for
sheep, but there is always a danger
Of feeding too much of it. Fortunate

For that purpose it is excellent, when
it is used with proper care. 1t con-

Starch produces anoma1 heat and fat,
and the oil goes onto the body also in
the form of fat. The great heat pro-
ducing power of the starch in corn
makes it inadvisable to feed it alone.

/ fattened in fact, easier than mos
| other fowls. But one must go at it in
! the right way. If turkeys have had
free range all summer, you cannot
fatten them with any satisfaction in
an enclosure. The change will cause
them to fret and refuse to eat and
thus you will lose instead of gain.
Teach them to come up every evening
at least, and then stuff them with all
they will possible eat. You will soon
find them ranging at short distances
only and coming up <eyen between
feeding times.
Don't try to fatten the turkeys on
corn alone. A close diet of new corn
often results in bowel troubles for
the turkeys just as it does for hogs,
and sick turkey is usually dead
turkey. Mix the fattening ration; va
riety is desirable for several reasons.
Equal parts of wheat, oats and corn
make a good ration. Be sure and give
them all they will eat of these grains,
and to hurry matters along, it is de-
sirable to give an occasional mash
feed of equal parts of cornmeal and
wheat middliHgs which makes a very
rich feed, especially if quantity OF
ground beef scrap or green cut bone
is added. AS the turkey takes on fat:
the flesh turns to rich golden color.
If allowed free range while the fat
tening process is going on, the flesh
gains in favor and tenderness in
way it cannot if the bird were fat
tened in close quarters.-Epitomist.

Where Mother is Supreme.

An interesting survival of the mat
narchate has been discovered in In.
dia as a result of a study of the
more important tribes and castles or.
dered three years ago by the govern
ment. The Khasis, numbering 176.-
GA, are completely surrounded by a
great population, with widely differ
ent customs. Yet they have preserv-
ed. It is said, one of the most per-
feet examples still surviving OF the
matriarchate. The mother is the head
and only bond CT union in the fam
lily. In the most primitive part OF
the community she is the only owner
OF real property. and through her
alone is inheritage transmitted. The
father has no legal kinship with his
children, who belong to the mothers
clan. On marriage the man leaves
his father and mother and cleaves to
his wife, as seems to have been the
custom when the Book of Genesis
was written, living with her in his
mother-in-law's house But sometimes
he only visits her there. The prin.
cipal duties are feminine. and a wo-
man is high priestess. The sun is
feminine and the moon masculine,
and feminine nouns predominant in
the anguage-Kansas City Journal.
