PRIVATE SLEUTHS
HALE REGULARS
BEFORE COURT
Police Commissioners Must
Show Cause for Closing Pri-
vate Detective Agency.

Vice-C Chancellor Howell today granted
police commissioners and Captain Car
roll,s of the detective bureau, calling
upon them to explain their conduct in
closing the office of the Essex division
of the Secret Service Society of Amer
lea, at As Clinton street, and to show
why an injunction should not issue
against their restraining them from
interfering with the private detective
agency.
Morris R. Gluck and Saul Cohn, at
torneys for Raymond B. Joo and Walter
Baker, the two young men who con-
stitute the division" declared that
Captain Carroll abused his powers in
closing up the office which, they de-
clared, was a reputable place Of bust
ness. Captain Carroll ordered the office
closed after Detective Horter had failed
to find a record of the Incorporation
of the Secret Service Society of Amer
lea" at the court house.
1t is now alleged that the records
contain a o p of the charter Of the So
ciety and that Horter overlooked 1t
when he made his visit to the court
house. 1t is also maintained that the
office at As Clinton street was one of q
chain of offices throughout the State
and hat the society is a regular IL
censed detective agency.
Captain Carroll is still holding the two
badges he confiscated. One of them is
made Of yellow metal and bears the
word "Chief." The other is of white
metal and has the inscription Lieu
tenant on it.

MIGHTY MOTORS
FOR POWER PLANT
OF CLARK MILLS

The first step in the identification of
the power plant Of the Clark thread
mills, employing several thousand
hands, was taken today when the
Croker Wheeler Company was ordered
to install electric motors a~ggregating
$500 horsepower.
The new motors are to range from
rs to 50-horsepower each, and are to
be $500 volts, go cycle, three-phase ma
chimes.
Heretofore the great thread mills
have been driven by steam power.
The change in motive power as
a result of the presidential election, to-
gether with the reopening Of the mills
on full time with all hands employed.
The order now given to the Croker
Wheeler Company of Ampere, is the
first to be given. As quickly as pos
sible the entire mias will be electrified
and all machines adjusted to the cleo
trio power.

COUNTY PLUMS TO
Be HANDED OUT
BY "FREEH0LDERS
Republicans Expect to Control
Many Fat Places After
December 7.
COUNTY COUNSEL AND
COLLECTOR MAY Go

ice Protection-And There
Are Many Others.

Many ripe plums will be ready for
the picking when the County Board
of Freeholders, now a tie politically,
will be in the control of the Repub-
licans by a large majority.
The harvest will be gathered at a
special meeting of the board to be held
December 7, when organization is to be
Effected
While the civil service act will serve
to hold warm several of the Jobs and
the Civil Service Commission is re-
ported to be ready to defend its rulings
In court, if necessary, there are some
positions where 1t Is certain that there
will be changes.
Instead of Michael Barry figuring as
head of the board at $500 a year, for
example, it is likely that Freebooter
Wallace fOugheltree, of East Orange,
will get that honor.
New County Counsel Likely.
According to a decision of the COM
mission, Alderman Joseph A. Wright,
the clerk of the board, whose salary Is
a like amount, is good for it as long
as he is good, while County Counsel
Elvin w. Cranes $1,000 a year salary
is put in jeopardy by the aspirations Of
former County Counse Joseph L. Mum,
as the commission appears to think
that as law officer Of the county, Mr.
Crane, who Is a Democrat, does not
come under its protection.
AS the county collector, DR.. p. J.
McGuinness, who gets $4,500, Is consid-
cred in the same class as Mr.. Crane by
the commission, several aspirants r
after his job, including two former
collectors, Harry L.. Keepers and Rich
ard w. Booth, Walter S. Simpson,
Frank Vaudeville and Charles H. Mad
ison.
County Auditor Edward L. Conklin,
who draws $4,000 a year, is protected as
a veteran, while DR.. Daniel Elliott's po-
sition of county physician at $4,000 and
hat Of his assistant at $1,000 a year, are
likely to be threatened by the Repub-
leans.
Another fairly good job likely to be
filled by the party in control is that
held by County Engineer George f.
Drum, Democrat. No change is likely
in the SUPPLEMENTARY of the County
Hospital for the Insane, which is held
by DR.. Daniel M. Dill, at "a, 500 a year,
and the wardens Of the Jail and ,peni-
Tertiary are also held to be safe. War

Applicants for the SUPPLEMENTARY of
the Court House at 81, 800, now held by
John J. Bolan, promised to be numer-
ous. He Is entitled to an assistant at

Other positions in which changes
may occur are: First physician, South

TO
AWARD CONTRACTS
FOR FURNISHINGS

When the Board of Freeholders meets
tomorrow afternoon it will act on a
number of contracts for furnishing the
Essex County Hospital for the Insane
at Overbrook. :
The committee on public buildings met
late yesterday afternoon and spent sew
eral hours on tabulating the bids. 1t
was discovered that by awarding the
various classes separately the county
would save $3,550.65.
While Hahne & Co. were the lowest
of seven bidders for nine pianos, 1t was
decided to ask the board for power to
expend $4,000 and secure an expert to
visit the bidders places of business.

STOKES SCORES
THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY OF TODAY
Especial to the Evening Star.l

TRENTON, Nov. 11.-Former Gov
ernor Stokes, addressing the Republic
can Club last night, made this deciara-
ton:
1.-The curse of the times is the de-
struction of the Democratic party as a
party Of well-settled aims n policies.
1t sprung from the head of Thomas
Jefferson, and while we may not agree
with him in many things it is a misfor-
tune that that party has dwindled to
becoming the plaything of a single in
dividual."
Mr.. Stokes had this to say about po-
litical organizations:
II trust there will never come a time
when we do without political organiza-
tions. We do not. want men who dis
avow a political party and proclaim
themselves as greater than political
parties.

Whitman Girl
Football Coach

1t is up to Walla Walla to furnish
capable men and women, and Whitman
college has turned out many of them.
In athletics Whitman has turned out
many students who have coached diff
ferent branches of sport, as have prob
ably all other schools of any standing,
but it remained to Whitman to furnish
the first lady football coacn the coun-
try has ever known.
Miss Lillian Merrell who graduated
in the class of 1907 at the focal COZ
lege, was one of the most interested
among the student body in sports and
took just as great a part as she could.
She was a star in basketball ard mas
successfully coached athletics in Ia
lama high school, where she is teach
ing.
But the other day Miss Merren
sprung new one and blossomed out
as a football coach and a referee Ct
that game. And she gave satisfaction
too. Miss Merrell coaches both bas-
ket ball and football in the Kalama
schools, and is said to know the two
games from rule one to the end of the
book.
1T is a fact" Miss MerrelI is quoted
as saying, that l have taken such an
interest in the athletics of men that
know the rules by heart. A dispute
arose in our game Saturday and one
of the men took issue with me on "a
decision. I told him how the rule read
and to convince him opened the rule
book to the proper page and ne was
convinced. Yes. / guess it is a unique
thing for a woman to referee mems
game. I never heard of any one else
doing it.
1t is a great pleasure for E1e to
referee. 1 like to do it and I hope my
work is satisfactory. l hope the men
do not refrain from protesting simply
because I am woman. l have seen
many basket ball and football games
and have talked the subject so much
that 1 know just what each player
ought to do. Yes, I have coached some

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE
Bliss Knapp to Speak In Whitman Col
leqe Chapel.

Rev George w. Salley, in introduc-
ing a Christian Science lecturer, IN
Fitchburg, N H, recently, said among
other things: Il came into Christian
Science because it was vital and real.
1t dared to say of God: He is All. Al
ter being in active religious work for
twenty years, and after making a
special study both of our New Eng
land country towns and our city
slums, which are a direct result of the
materialistic life of today, l came TO
the conclusion that only new spirit
ual vision and a powerful religious
incentive could ever change those con-
ditions. Like every earnest minister,
felt that we must have something
which reached the cause of sin, dis
wrong conditions in society, and dis
ease and unbearable things without
number. What are you going to do
for them? In Christian Science we
have a distinct remedy, a remedy
which reaches the very root Of the
trouble l came slowly into Christian
Science. l tested it at every point, and
can best give its effects upon me in
the words which a man from New
! Halnpshire's hills said about a neigh
boring family who had come into
Christian Science: If what has got
hold of that family and changed them
is Christina Science, then : want it;
every one ought to have it; it's the
best thing in the worl1'"
