The governments allegations,
which were filed by David P. Dyer,

were based largely upon an investiga-
ton of the oil business conducted by
James e. Garfield, commissioner of
tne bureau of corporations, at the
behest of President Roosevelt. This
investigation consumed a year, and
because of it, various grand juries
returned indictments containing
1913 counts, according to Commits

HERE'S A BRAND
NEW LINCOLN YARN
FROM 50. ORANGE
Mrs. Mary Smith Describes Irci--
dent She Witnessed in a
Washington Park.

In an interesting talk on Lincoln in
Miss Harriet Spining's school, South
Orange, Mrs. Mary Smith, of that vii
iage. who knew the martyred President
in Washington, D.. c., during his ad-
ministration, told of an incident in his
life which she witnessed i'm the park ar
the capital city.
President Lincoln she said, was
sitting on a bench with his son Tad
reading to him. out of the New Tesla
ment, when a number of colored boys
drew near quarreling over an apple.
Lincoln stopped them to ask what he
trouble was and when told, suggested
that each boy be given a bite. But,
said the owner, there won't he any left
for me except the core
THE nearer the core the sweeter the
apple said Lincoln e~ncouragingly. and
the boy submitted with some reluct-
ance. Nothing was left but the core,
and hat had a FORM in II. much to the
disgust of the boy. Then, said Lin
coin, Don't hurt the poor worm, my
son; he has a right to his life and to
his breakfast. Here's some money to
buy enough apples TO pass around

New Jersey is away behind in som,
forms of legislation. If every one of
o understood the need for this COM
mission, o would go to Trenton and
demand the passage of q bill providing
for it. Since 1854 the railroads in this
State have saved 5000 900 on account
of the low tax rate that was afforded
them.
AT the present time there is great
turmoil down in Trenton about an al
legged deficit. There is talk of taking
part of the school fund to make it up.
The question is this; Are we going
to take money that ri%ghtfully belongs
to the people, or should we not see that
the railroads a taxes as they should.
and that their properties be assessed
on the basis upon which other prop
erty is?
There is only one more point I want
to talk upon-the goyernment-today it
is government of the party. by the
party inc most always for the party.
The government is run by the political
machine. with the boss as the dictator.
Where does this boss get his money
for his work? In my estimation the
railroads pay him.
In conclusion | want to tell you
members of the West Hudson Board of
Trade that you ant have any legisla-
ton passed in New Jersey concerning
a public utilities commission or equal

The condition of James Fitzmorris,
the Harrison boy who was shot last
Saturday night by Mrs. Alice Kelsey
at the home of the latter, 219 Jersey

Inquiries made at st. Michael's Hos

Fitzmorris, though showing slight signs
of Improvement. is by no means out OF
danger. 1t is not known yet definitely
whether or not the lad win have to
suffer the loss of both legs, the doctors
at the hospital being afraid that blood

Mrs. Kelsey is still locked up in the

The ST. Jeraldo Society. one of the

Sc settlement in Silver Lake, is threatened
with disruption as the result of action
taken at a meeting last night, when a
resolution passed at a previous meeting
which provided that no more Sicilians

scinded.
Postmaster Jeraldo Maioran. the
president, resigned his office, when the
vote was announced. and Treasurer An
tonic Steffanelli pushed through a mo-
ton declaring the whole administrator
out of office. Joseph Garibaldi was
made temporary president.
Justice OF the Peace Joseph Vicarezi
started the ball rolling by denouncing
the action of the society in excluding
Sicilians. 1t is a rule of the society
that no member can talk more than
three times on any question at a meet
ing, but d member said today that
Nicarezi spoke at least twenty times
on the Sicilian matter.
There was a general discussion, and
finally. Maioran. in disgust. announced
that he was through. He organized the
society, he said, but he never dreamed
they were going to act in the nam
ner they were doing.
The society had at one time a mem
bership of over so. Now there are about
80 names on the roll. and it is claimed
that the falling off is due to Sicilian
influence. When the society was re-
organized a month 6 new officers
were installed and a resolution was
passed which prohibited any more
Sicilians from joining.

BRIDGE TENDER
IN BELLEV|LLE

James h. Provett, the Republican
leader of the second district in Belle

tender of the Belleville bridge at a
meeting of the joint bridge committee
last night. The fight between Provett
and Isaac Hodge. who held the position
for nearly six years previous to the
Democrats getting control of the Board
of F~reeholders in this county, has been
going on since the election, and has
resulted in a rupture in the Repub-

Rademacher in Main street. Belleville.
at the entrance to the Belleville bridge

of Nutley; Walter A. Evans, of South

ward: Theodore Gottlieb, of the

The grandeur of Lincoln's life and char

perspective as time recedes and the
passions excited by the great civil con
