ACKERMAN FOR TAFT;
WOULD BE DELEGATE

PLAINFIELD, Mar. 27:-Senator
Ernest r. Ackerman has declared
himself to be in favor of William H.
Taft for the republican presidential
nomination, and, inasmuch as he is a
candidate for the district delegate
ship from Union county to the Chic
ago convention, his stand is consid-
cred important. In view of state
ments made yesterday by Senator
Alderman and Hamilton F. Kean,
there is not likely to be any diff
Guilty over the selection of a district
delegate to- Chicago Both declare
that If the republicans of this county
want them to go they are willing to
serve, and each stands ready to de-
cline in favor of the other.
Mr.. Kean was the district delegate
at the last Republican National Con-
vention, and his brother, Senator
John Kean, may be one of the dele
gates-at-large to the next convention.
Under the circumstances he did not
think that the former county chair
man would again be entitled to the
honor.

OPINIONS ON
The PETITION
Lawyers Differ as to the Probab-
Ie Outcome Of the Action
Against City Government
TO Be PRESENTED Monday

Lawyers of ability OF this city are
of the opinion that If Peter A. Peter
sons petition to the attorney general
Is acted upon, that this city's gov
ernment will be proven void and that
all the acts and doings of the citys
government will have no jurisdiction
whatever from a legal standpoint.
On the other hand, City Attorney
Hommann stated this morning that
such is not the case and explained
that the only thing that would be
done was that the city clerk would
be notified by the court to provide
for the election of the proper govern
ing officials as provided for in the
city's charter.
The petitions, of which there are
about six, have been signed by many.
Tomorrow night will be the last time
the people will be given opportunity
to sign them, for Lawyer Peterson in
tends to present them TO the attorney
general Monday.
The petition, 1t is thought, will
tend to hold up the passing of the
paid fire department ordinance for
probably year.

7 AXE. CHARTER
FROM LODGE.
Family Home Lodge, |. 0. G. 7.
Had a Stormy Session last
Night Officials Present.


Grand Chief Templar Erick RAM
son, of New York city, of the Inde-
pendent Order of Good Templars,
came to this city last night and at
the meeting of Family Home Lodge
No. IA, held in I. O. G.. II. hall, took
the charter away from the lodge.
About year ago new lodge was
organized called the New Time Lodge
No. 8, a neutral lodge Of the Inde-
pendent Order of Good Templars.
The object of this organization was
to promote sociability and to have
dances and other amusements at
their meetings which, 1t is said, were
objected to by the Grand Lodge and
other lodges Of the Good Templars.
The executive committee Of the
grand lodge, Of which Grand Chief
Templar Ransom is at the head,
came to this city to try and have the
neutral lodge disbanded. The men,
bers refused to give 1t up on the
ground that there is nothing unlaw-
full In the starting of the neutral
lodge. 1t is probable that some ac-
tion will be taken by the members to
have their charter restored to them
again. 1t is understood that the
action is only temporary.

WILD CAT COMES FROM

OFFERED FOR ITS PELT

eyes could now be plainly seen shin
ing In the dark corner of the car.
Suddenly those on the ground saw
Let's fall back and with one mighty
spring the animal dashed from the
car directly over William Sexton,
who was armed with q fence picket,
but who was too astonished to move.
Although number started in pur-
suit the beast soon outdistanced the
pursuers and was lost in view in the
woods above the lumber yard
The animal, which was a species
OF wild cat or southern lynx, was
naturally weakened and had lost
weight by being deprived of food and
water for several days, but in its
famished condition it was a magnifl-
cent animal and the lumber company
is very anxious to obtain its pelt and
has offered reward for its capture,
dead or alive.
1t was thought to have been seen
the day after its escape drinking at
the spring in the woods above the
gas house.

TRENTON, Mar, 27:-The result
of the conference in the state treas
urer's office Wednesday became
known yesterday, when Assembly,
man Buxton, Of Morris, tried to get
signatures to petition calling for a
caucus Of republican members. He
failed, however, only thirteen mem
bers signing the call. The object of
the caucus was to bind the republican
members to adjourn sine die April 8.
One of the stories about the state
house yesterday had 1t that the real
object of the caucus was to depose
William p. Martin as republican
leader and force the final adjourn
ment next week.
Mr.. Martin said he had heard the
rumor, and that he considered 1t idle
talk, springing from the fact that he
refused to attend the adjournment

Gray and johnson, Possible Ticket.

JERSEY CITY, Mar. 27:-Tha,
the democratic state committee will
not pledge its delegation to Denver
70 any candidate was practically de.
eided upon at meeting of the COM
mittee held in Jersey City yesterday
While no definite action was taker
on this score. 1t was evident from
what the leaders from various sec.
lions of the state said that New Jer-
sey,s democracy will not pledge itseli
to vote for the nomination of Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
The meeting was called to set 9
date for the primaries as we'll as for
the state convention. The members
were late In arriving, and while the
early comers were waiting the ques-
ton of whether or not the New Jer-
sey delegation should be pledged was
Informally discussed. Howard Car
row, of Camden, broke the ice when
he asked whether the state commit
tee would instruct for a pledged or
unpledged delegation.
"Why?" asked William A. Faunce,
of Atlantic.
"Other state committees are in
Btructing," replied Mr.. Carrow.
But New Jersey is a different
state" said Mr.. Faunce. ''The state
committee ought to keep its hands
OF and allow the state convention to
settle the matter
Eyes, let the state committee set
Tie it." interjected w. w. Cutler, OF
Morris.
The other leaders present nodded
in approval and that seemed to end
It. The meeting was called to order
soon afterward, but there was very
little for the committee to do and the
session lasted only short time. 1t
was decided to hold the primaries
for election Of delegates to the state
convention between April 20 and "a,
Robert S. Hudspeth, chairman, to
decide the date and notify the state
committee. so that the official cali
can be sent out. It was also decided
to hold the state convention at Tay-
lor's Opera House one week after
the primaries. The selection of this
date was also left to Mr. Hudspeth
and the Mercer county members.
Representation in the state con-
vention will be on the basis of one
delegate to every two hundred voters
and an additional delegate will be
allowed for every fraction of one
hundwred votes. There will be 1,100
delegates In the convention.
Those who attended the meeting
yesterday were Robert s. Hudspeth,
chairman, Hudson; William A.
Faunce, of Atlantic; Howard Carrow
and William H. Davis, of Camden;
James r. Nugent, of Essex; Edward
d. Grosscuf, of Wenenah; Charles
H. Gallagher. of Mercer; Oliver Kelly
Of Middlesex; w. w. Cutler, of Nor
ris; Charles L. Rodgers, of Ocean,
and L. F. Braun, OF Passaic.
Unwillingness on the part of the
state committee to pledge the dele
gates is not causing Robert Davis,
leader Of Hudson. and James e. Mar
tine, Of Plainfield, to relax in their
efforts to have the New Jersey dele
cation pledged for Mr.. Bryan. While
Robert Davis Yields some influence
In the state committee, 1t is not be-
lieved that he will be able to swing
the state in line for Mr.. Bryan.
