WANT REPRESENTATION
PLANS CARRIED OUT

A strong effort is being made to Sc
cure Legislation i'm this session of the
legislature that will carry out the rec
concentrations of the state tax lands
and forestry commission with regard
10 the delinquent tax lands OF the
state. Carl +. Schmidt is member
OF this commission and has brought
the matter TO the notice of the Board
of Commerce, which adopted resolu-
lions calling upon the commercial
bodies OF the state to assist in secIr.
ing such wise and needed legislation.
AT present the state advertises all
tax lands but does not take title and
has To advertise the same lands over
and over every year until some one
buys them. The proposed law would
give the state title after year. There
are six million acres of delinquent
tax lands on the rolls now. This
coul6 be used in making forest re-
serve under the commission plan. the
state being also given authority to
purchase lands adjoining.

BURTON PPOSED TO
REMAINING FARRAR-ST

Historiographer Clarence NJ. Bur
ton has sent in a report to the com
mon council strongly urging against
the proposed change Of the name OF
Farrar-st to Iibrary-ave. He sug-
gests that the street be named John
Farrar-st. II change be deemed alb
solutely necessary.
III seems To ME unwise and unjust
that the old landmarks should be re-
moved or that we should make haste
TO forget those people who have laid
the foundations OF our great city" he
says.
In case a change Is deemed impera-
tive. Burton suggests the name OF
Houghton-st.. after Douglass Hought.
on. d former state geologist who To-
Gated the copper and iron deposits OF
the upper peninsula. and who. but for
his death while on an exploring expe-
ditlon would probably have been gov
ernor of the state.
"Douglass-st." is also mentioned. in
honor OF Gen Ephraim Douglass. a
revolutionary officer who, after being
imprisoned in a British prison. was
exchanged and was deputed TO come
from Philadelphia TO Detroit to mott
fy the people of this vicinity OF the
peace made between the colonies and
the mother country. He arrived in
Detroit July 4, 1888, after a perilous
journey through the country OF hostile
Indian tribes, and thereby stopped
the cruel and bloody border war that
was raging.

MISS GREEN WEEDS
NJ. A. W|LkS IN
NEW JERSEY
WILL INHERIT HALF OF $60,o00,-
600 ESTATE OF HETTY GREEN,
HER MoTHER-MOe FOLLOWS
CARRIAGE TO STATION.

NEW YORK. Feb. 23-Sylvia
Green only daughter OF Mrs. Hetty
Green. the wealtnest women III the
world, was married at Morristown, y.
j.. at noon today to Matthew Astor
Wilks, grandson OF the late John
Jacob Aston
The bride is just past 80 years OF
age and Will inherit half OF her
mothers estate OF $60,000,000. The
bridegroom is about 60.
Strange and ludicrous scenes pre-
ceded the ceremony because OF Mrs
Green's efforts To have 1t performed
with comparative secrecy. When the
bridal party started from Mrs.
Green's home at 1909 Bloomfield-ave
Hoboken, in one-horse cab 10 board
the special train which awaited them
at the Lackawanna depot. they were
followed by motley procession of de-
livery wagons, milk wagons and veh-
tcles OF every description. which were
filled with curious persons and news
paper men.
The clatter of the horses on the as
phalt pavement was heard by the 400
students In the Stevens institute at
Fifth and Hudson-sts. They thought
a runaway was passing and they in.
stantly left their studies and swarm
ed into the street. The cab passed
them. but they held up the rest OF
the procession.
Let us pass shouted those In
the wagons.
"Hetty Green's daughter is in the
cab ahead and she's going to be mar
ried."
"Rah, rah, rah. for the marriage!"
yelled the students. Those who could
then climbed onto the wagons and
the chase was renewed. Scores OF
them did Marathon To the cab, over
taking ii and peering joyously at the
embarrassed occupants inside, while
they Dreathlessly wished the bride
elect all the happiness in the world.
Persons on the street seeing the
wagons held up and the chase after
the cab thought robbery had been
committed and a cry of stop thief"
was raised. This added TO the crowd
and likewise 10 the confusion.
But the cab driver urged his horse
so that the animal went along as 1t
had never raced before. The party
reached the Lackawanna depot about
80 yards ahead OF the pursuing vehi-
cles. That gave Mrs. Green. her
daughter and Mr.. Wilks time to reach
the private car Avondale before the
crowd was able TO overtake them.
Once inside the car they pulled down
the curtains and windows and moth
ing more was seen of them. The car
lett for Morristown attached TO the
regular Morristown express. which de-
parted from Hoboken at y:2l O'Clock.
