Jury Case in District Court
VS.. VIM. Morosk0Wski.
OUTGROWTH OF A TRADE

The suit Of Polkowitz Brothers
against William Moroskowski on

was tried before Judge Lyon and a
jury in the district court today.
1t was alleged that Polkowitz
Brothers, who have sales stable on
New Brunswick avenue, recently
traded horses with Moroskowski. The
animal which Moroskowski traded, 1t
is said. was one that he had bought
from one of the Polkowitz brothers,
who is not identified with the firm.
1t Is asserted that Moroskowski was
to pay $40 to Polkowitz Brothers If
a third horse they gave him in ex-
change should prove satisfactory.
Later Polkowitz Brothers replevined
1t and the suit today was for the
possession of the horse or the $40.
Joseph e. Stricken was counsel for
the plaintiff and James S. Wright
represented the defendant.
The plaintiffs showed that Moroskow-
ski was to return the other horse the
next day OF pay them $40. The defend
ant did not deny this, and Judge Lyon
charged the jury to render verdict in
favor ah Polkowitz Brothers The jury
thereupon awarded the plaintiffs the
possession of the horse.

Says Unless This Is Done

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, March 16:-Governor
Fort sent a special message to the
legislature today in which he de-
clared that II the lawmakers ad-
journed sine die without enacting
his refc rm election laws he would re-
convene both houses in special ses-
sion. In each house the message was
read and spread upon the minutes.
The bills referred to are those in
spired by the report of the governors
special commission appointed under
concurrent resolution passed last
year to revise existing statutes. In
its report the commission suggested
two bills, one revising the primary
act and the other covering the gen.
eral election laws of the state
Governor Fort said the people will
rule and he warned the legislature
that the wise course is to do some
thing toward obtaining the reforms
which the public demand. The mes
sage declared that the revision of
the primary laws is demanded by an
almost universal public sentiment.
The primary law which the COVER
nor wants and which the commission
reported adopts the direct primary
system for all state and county off,
cials and puts primary elections un-
der strict legal regulation includ-
ing a registration day prior to the
date for the primary election.
The other bill provides for the
Wisconsin ballot which is a blanket
ballot with the candidates of all
parties placed in party columns CIV
ing to each voter the right to vote
for any candidate on the ballot by
placing an TX" mark opposite the
name.
David Baird, the leader from
Camden, who has Just returned from
his western trip, made his first ap-
pearance at the state house yester-
day. He was greeted by the COVER
nor warmly and took part in a con-
ference which was held In the COVER
nor's Office behind closed doors.
The big figures in state republican
affairs, with the exception of two or
three, were there, Mr.. Baird, State
Treasurer Daniel 8. Voorhees,, of
Morris; Clerk in Chancery Vivian M.
Lewis, of Passaic; General G. Ed
ward Murray, of Mercer, and Cover
nor Fort. Election laws were dis
cussed and it Is believed the COVER
nor's message today is the outcome.
1t was agreed, it is declared, that the
name of State Assessor David Baird.
of Camden, should go to the senate
for reappointment within twenty
four hours.

A HEARING TOMORROW

Oliver Welsh, of South Amboy,
who has a Maxwell runabout, was
arrested by Patrolman Hartmann
about II o'clock last night on a
charge of violating the speed limit
Welsh went up and down Smith
street at rate which eye-witnesses
declare was not a bit less than thirty
five miles per hour.
He came to grief when the car
ran up on the sidewalk in front of
one of the stores in the Cook block.
1t is believed that the driver lost
control of the machine, as 1t sud
denly swerved form the middle OF the
street and, jumping the curb, was IN
a fair way to crash through the ST. re
window, when Welsh and the ottef
man in the auto stopped it.
One of the tires was cut when
the machine hit the curb and the In
ner tube was forced out. Welsh was
trying to get the machine back to the
street when Patrolman Hartmann ap-
peared and placed him under arrest.

age as twenty-six years and was
paroled by Recorder Pickersgill to
appear for a hearing at o'clock to-
morrow night. The auto was taken

NEED NOT Be
vACC|NATED
State Board Notifies Auth :
critics to Partially Res
cind Order in Scho oil.
ONE VACCINATION ENOUGH

It wss announced in the high school
and all the other public schools this
morning that any pupil who had ever
been vaccinated could return to school
Immediately, but that those who had
never been vaecinated must be, in or
der to resume their studies
Last week, in response to commun-
ication from the health board, the Board
of Education moved that pupils who
had not been vaccinated within the past
five years must do so in order to return
to school. Last night Superintendent
Shull was notified by the state board
that, as the cases here were very ligh:,
pupils who had ever been vaceinated
were eligible, but others could not at
tend unless it were done.
Superintendent Shull says that there
are about 500 children absent today on
account of the vaccinating and that, in
all probability, 100 of that number are
staying out because their parents will
not have them vaecinated.
In view of the resembling of the re-
cent order, Superintendent Shull expects
that the attendance tomorrow will be
much better. The seven teachers who
were sent home last week will resume
their duties next week. Principal Hulse
of school No. 2, is still absent on account
of illness. and Miss Prudence Kendall
is away this afternoon on account of n
sore arm, caused by vaccination.

TAFT SENDS
A MESSAGE
ON TARIFF
Says Present Tariff Does Not
Give Enough Revenue to
Meet Expenses.
COUNTRY LOOKS TO THE
PARTY TO FULFILL PLEDGE
Urges New Tariff Be Passed
as Speedily as Possible to

Special by Ustted Press Wirs.

bPectd1 oy U5tt60 PresS Wfre.
Washington, March 16:-Presi-
dent Taft sent special message on
the tariff to congress today. He
said: Il convened an extra session
to enable the immediate considera-
tion OF the revision Of the Dingley
tariff. Conditions require an ad-
justment as the present tariff does
not furnish enough income to pay
the authorized expenses of the gov
ernment. There will be deficit by
July OF $100,000.000. The party is
pledged to revision and the country
expects it.
"The new bill should be agreed
upon and passed as speedily as pos
sible. ! would suggest that the vital
interests of the country demand at
tention and that II less time be given
to other subjects it will be better for
the country.
Conditions affecting the produc-
tion of many features and business
generally have SO changed within the
past twelve years as to require the
adjustment pf the tariff. In my in
augural address l stated, in sum-
mary way, the principles upon which,
in my Judgment, revision should pro-
ceed, and l indicated at least one
new source of revenue that might
be properly resorted to, In order to
avoid a future deficit. The pros
pect of a change in rates of import
always causes halt in business. be-
cause of the uncertainty as to the
changes to be made and their effect.
Therefore, it is of the highest i'm
portance that the bill should be
passed as speedily as is consistent
with thorough consideration, and /
urge that the session be chiefly de-
voted to the consideration of this
legislation"

also admitted to the officer that the
man who had been standing on the

fFrom the NEWS corre.youden..l

Washington, March 16:-Interest
In the tariff hill Ia general through
out New Jersey, and the congress-
men from that state are Receiving
numerous letters and petitions from
their constituents indicating what
they believe should be done. 1t is
very evident that there is a strong
sentiment in favor of free sugar, or
at least a reduction Of the duty on
that commodity, and also that there
is a sentiment In opposition to the
placing of any duty on coffee or tea.
Must Have More Revenue.
However, there is no doubt that
something will have to be done by
congress to provide more revenue,
since the expenses of the govern
ment are now much greater than
the income and something will have
to be done to raise more revenue.
The country seems to have the i'm
preston that the tariff revision will
result in a reduction Of the duties,
or of the money collected for reve-
nue., whereas the statemen who are
wrestling with the problem find that
something will have to be done to
yield a greater income or the United
States will be short Of funds before
many months have elapsed. That is
condition, not a theory. which
must be met, and naturally, In the
preparation of bill to meet the sit
uation an effort will be made to
make the tax as light as possible.
In line with the sentiment rela-
tive to the tariff which is finding ex-
preston by petitions and letters the
