Mr. Park has served in that position

graduating class of the high school, and
was an actual surprise, he having no
inkling of it in advance. The visitors
brought their own refreshments, and

The arc light in Market Square has
been taken off the pole at the drinking
fountain and hung over the street on a
long arm extending from the pole at the
post office corner. This was the place
where it was originally located by the
committee, and is preferred to the lOca-
ton on the pole because where it is now
it shines along all four streets-Pleasant
High, Main and Pine. In the old loca
ton it practically did not light Pine
Street at all. Another minor advantage
of the change is that with the light OF
the pole over the drinking tub, in sum
mer quantities of moths are attracted by
the light and drop into the tub. But il
must be admitted that 1t doesn't light
up the Square now as we'll as II did ovel

MCGOWAN THE
CANDIDATE AND
ROCHE FO0TS BILL
Chief Justice Gummere Decides
Finish of Aldermanic Fight
in Fifth Ward.

That Michael j. MCGOWAN, jr., will be
the Democratic candidate for Alder
man in the Fifth ward, because Michael
P. Roche, who made a contest on a re-
count. threw up the sponge, was prac-
tically decided by Chief Justice Gum
mere in the Supreme Court circuit to-
day. At the same time the contestant,
under the law, will be required to pay
all the expenses of the recount.
MCGOWAN, on the face of the returns,
received a plurality of "a votes. and
after the recount and As rejected bal
lots had been passed upon by the
court, each man was credited with 500
votes. 1t was because of thisf tile that
the County Board of Elections, headed
by Samuel Martin, appeared before the
bench in company with j. Randolph
Woodruff and John P. Manning, coun-
sci for MCGOWAN, today, n asked
what was to be done in the matter.
There has been nc recount" SAID
the chief Justice. I'm other words, sc
far as the election is concerned. there
has been none So far as the liability
of Roche is concerned, it is the same
as if there had been a full recount
Roche having abandoned the proceed
ings, he Is liable so far as they went
BY this decision the returns are
thrown back to the city clerks office
where they were certified as favorine
MCGOWAN by the twenty-four plurality
which Roche attacked. The result OF
the recount amounts to that of ar
abandoned suit; in other words, the
original situation is unchanged.

FACTS OF JUDGE HOWELL'S
LIFE; ONCE A MINISTER.

The persistence of the enemies of the
Dem" cratic party in singing David T.
Howell cut for personal and vicious at
tack resulted in making him a victim
of nervous prostration. He had to go
away a few months ago to recuperate,
but when he returned he was strong
and declared his intention of fighting
them to the end.
Judge Howell was born in England
in. 1864 n came to New York in 1881
and learned a trade. His first work
was on the Brooklyn bridge. His last
work at his trade was handling the
copper work for the Statue of Liberty.
He hen entered the Episcopal ministry,
for which he had studied and fitted
himself in England. Mr.. Howell was
the pastor of O flock at Monticello, n.
Y. in 1S99, when he was named as
correspondent in the divorce suit en-
tered by Samuel b. Greene, a we'll
known resident of that place. After
Greene had won his divorce HowelPs
wife sued him for divorce, accusing
him of cruelty. She won the decree,
and soon after that Mr.. Howell and
Mrs. Greene were married and Mr..
Howell retired from the ministry.
On announcing his decision to quit
the ministry Mr.. Howell received a let
ter from Bishop Potter, a letter which
was in his pocket when he killed him
self, and in which the bishop strongly
urged him to remain in the ministry.
After marrying Mrs. Greene they
came TO this city. and had made their
home here since. Mr.. Howell entered
the law offices OF A. Q. Keasbey & Co.
and after completing his course he
opened a law Office for himself.
He at once became prominent In poll
tics, rising to the executive position OF
chairman of the County Democratic
Committee.
Besides being prominent in Masonic
affairs, he was past chief ranger of the
Order OF Foresters In New Jersey. He
belonged to the J~efersonion Club, the

one of the candidates for Assembly,
who wrought up the members by his
talk.
II have been a part of the city ad-
ministration for the last two years.
said Judge Howell, land as a part OF
that administration, 1 tell you that you
can turn the s~earchlight of publicity
on every department of the municipal
government. We have nothing to fear
and nothing to conceal.
"a public office is a public trust and
a man who does not properly fulfil that
trust doesn't deserve the confidence oil
his fellows. We of the city administra-
ton want the limelight thrown on the
last two years. / would that every

There are no records that may not be

Over Wires.

TRENTON, Oct. 17.-"Billing and
cooling between young women school
teachers of Trenton and their sweet
hearts over the telephone wires must

sations are not seemly should any one
inadvertently break in on the line; and

The order has caused considerable
Indignation among h five hundred
young schoolma'ams of the city, all OF
whom are positive in their denials that
they never spoon" either on the teie-
phone or elsewhere.
The incident which stirred up the
trouble occurred when Supervising
Principal Mackay. in trying to reach
one of the schools by telephone, inter-
rupted a conversation made up mostly
of endearing terms inc giggles.
DR.. Mackay hung up the receiver.
called a meeting of the school prln-
cipals and directed them to Instruct
their teachers that love making" over
the telephone during school hours
would not be tolerated.

Kruger Association and various other
organizations.
1t was understood that Judge How
ellis first wife and her three children
are now living in Springfield. He con-
fided to his very closest friends that he
had not been happy with his first wife,
and that the first ONE of happiness
he had had came with her divorce from
him.
His reasons for not contesting his
wife's action for divorce and his al
legged connection with the Greene suit
for divorce were made the subjects OF
close scrutiny by the Masons and the
Episcopal church in secret n private
councils, and both sustained Judge
Howell completely.
After Samuel B.. Greene obtained his
divorce he moved to Stony Ford, N. Y,
and there married his cousin, Miss
Lizzie Bull. On May IL, 1904. Greene
committed suicide in the Fifth Ave.

FRIEND TELLS HOWELL'S
LIFE; DEFENDS HIS NAME.

A prominent citizen of Newark, who
is an Episcopalian and native-born
Irish Protestant like Judge Howell,
said today that he knew the judge
when he was In the Episcopal ministry
in New York State. This man said
thai his sister Inc her husband were
members of the church Judge Howell
was rector of In Monticello, N. l., at
one time, and that he knew the first
Mrs. Howell, and that she was very
Jealous of every woman in the church.
my wife does not wan me to nave
any women dragged into this unfor-
tunate affair. Therefore, 1 ask that my
name be not used in THE EVENING
STAR. David T. Howell studied for
the Episcopal ministry in the old u
try. My acquaintance with him started
when he was rector of the Monticello
church. He was young and brilliant
and liked by the congregation. The
people knew that he and his wife did
not agree-that she was jealous Of
women in the church.
when he told my brother-in-law
thai he would leave Monticello, efforts
were made by the congregation to get
him to continue as rector, but he said
he must 20 away because his home life
was ~unbearable.
Divorce Wa Granted
1.-The young rector vent to another
church, one I think in o Jervis, or
near hat place, and We soon heard
that his wife got a divorce, he making
no defense. He withdrew from the
ministry, because the Episcopal church
the high church wing-does not recog-
nige a divorced minister. Howell
married a second time, getting a very
handsome, clever but sensitive woman,
his present wife. He studied law, was
admitted to the bar, came to Newark
and practised law here until he was
appointed a police judge.
Judge Howell has lived as a good
! Christian mar all the years he has
been in Newark. His %neighbors and all
his acquaintances testify to this. When
his name was mentioned as a probable
candidate for a police judgeship a local
minister went to Mayor Haussling with
the old story of Mr.. Howell withdraw
Ing from the ministry and being di-
vorced. Then a Sunday local paper
printed the story as a sensation, and
recently the Southern carpet-bagger
Deputy Sheriff Mason, ~ehashed it in
public political harangue.
His Wife worried.
Judge Howelps present wife worried
because of what she considered re1ec-
tons on her in the story about him.
She became nervous, and last night,
when the judge returned homo after
speaking in the New Auditorium, he
found har hiChly parunIIg He StaVp0
up with her, and he said early this
morning that the constant dragging
before the public of a mistake he made
when he vas young, n the worry ii
caused his wife, were driving him
crazy. Muckrakers are responsible fol
his rash act"

JUDGE WAS KINDLY ON
HIS LAST DAY in COURT,

An incident in connection with the
sad affair occurred at police h%eadquar-
ters today. Desk Sergeant Ashley re-
ceived the report of the shooting over
the telephone and when he prepared to
enter 1t on the police book he found the
last page had been filed and in the
new police book used to chronicle such
affairs Judge Howelrs name is the first
to be written down.
Tha the judge has suffered untold
anguish over the statements made
against his character was plainly OBJ
servant to those who met him every
Gay in the First Precinct Court. Yes
terday two prisoners were brought be-
fore him and Captain Ryan asked the
judge to remand them.
Il will if you make a complaint of
lettering" replied the judge.
Captain Ryan did this, and then
Judge Howell. In a nervous manner,
something unusual for him to exhibit,
turned to Captain Ryan and said:
I'll not hold them on that complaint.
Send for officer Thomas McGrath, who
arrested those men, let him make a
complaint and 1 will hold them
Those who witnessed this sudden
change of decision and who knew the
judge commented On the affair later.
