For stealing at Poor House.

John S. Stanton, an inmate of the
Morris County Aims house, was ar.
rested at that institution this morn
ing by County Detective Edward L.
Brennan and Constable VIM. Lyons.
Justice Howard held him in $500 bail
for the grand jury.
For some time past inmates of the
poor house have missed trinkets and
articles of clothing and letters have
also disappeared before their delivery
at the institution. Stanton carried
the mail between the poor house and
the Morris Plains post office and sus-
picion pointed toward him. A decoy
letter was mailed containing marked
one dollar bill. The letter failed to
reach the poor house and Stanton was
searched and, it is alleged, the marked
bill was found in one of his pockets.

| Sociation.
This institute will be attended by
older boys and adult workers with boys
from Madison, Hudson City, Mont

and Morris county. THE local associa-
tien will be well represented. The
program is an interesting one, opening
at 1000 clock with exercises in charge
| of William B. Chase, secretary of Nor
riS county. This will be followed by
reports on the work accomplished last
summer and the plans outlined for this
year.
Edwin S. Ford, of this town, the
| chief of the Sebamook Tribe of Seton
Indians at Camp Wildwood, will speak
on Indian woodcraft. He will teach
the boys how to make war bonnets.
Tshirts, moccasins and Indian decora-

dances and sing Indian songs.
Arthur Wilson, of Orange, who has
made several canoe trips up the Hud-
son to Lake Champlain and Lake
George, will follow giving practical
demonstration of overnight bivouac
parties, exhibiting the necessary
equipment for such trip, also show
ing how to build a lean-to.
This will be followed. by a lesson on

has had success in teaching knots,
bitches and splices will instruct the
boys in this art.
Charles r. Scott, the state secretary
of boys work will preside throughout
the day.
1t is expected that the institute will
stimulate interest in summer work
and thus safeguard and protect the
boys during this critical season of the
year. Similar Institutes have been
conducted in three other selections of
the state and thus given all of the
associations an opportunity to learn
various methods of work for the warm
weathers.

NEW COURT
APRIL, 1910
Governor Fort Signs the Bill
Creating the First District
Of Morris County.
CANDIDATES FOR JUDGESHIP

With the signing Of the bill by Gov
ernor Fort the measure passed during
the last hours of the legislature estab-
fishing the first district court in Nor
ris county has been made law. The
district includes the town of Morris
town, the boroughS of Chatham, Madi-
son and FIorham Park and the town
ships of Morris and Chatham. The
district is established under the pro-
visions of an act concerning district
courts, revision of 1899, approved June
18th, 1899. The law establishing the
court goes into effect April lst, 1910.
The new court will have the trial of
all cases in which the amount involved
does not exceed $500 but can not try
cases wherein the title Of land is in
volved. The court can issue sum
monses to anyone in any part of the
county Anyone living in the district
is entitled to be sued in the district
court no matter where the plaintiff
may have his residence.
The court will probably meet once
or twice each week, possibly once in
MorristOwn and once in Madison. The
use of the grand jury room in the
court house or the court room in the
police headquarters building may be
secured. A fairly good-sized room
must be secured as the trials are all
by jury and accommodations must be
provided for witnesses, counsel and
other interested parties.
The officers of the court include a
judge, who must be counsellor Of at
least five years standing, at a salary of
81 200 per year clerk at $500 per
year and also ii desired a sergeant-aU-
arms who is paid 81 per day for act
ual court attendance.
The advantages of the district court
over the old system of justices courts
is said by its friends to be many. Not
the least. it is pointed out, is the great
lessening of appeals to the county
courts. No question of fact may be
appealed from the district court, only
questions of law and these are decided
by the circuit court judge. In thi;
way the county is saved considerable
expense, it is asserted, as the circuit
court judge is on salary and he de
cides the appeal without the inLerven
tion of jury.
Oliver K.Day, clerk of the board o
freeholders, and Nathaniel G. Toms
clerk of the board of aldermen, have
both been suggested for the judgeship
Either one of the gentlemen would bt
acceptable and it is possible that the
question of who shall receive the ap
pointment Of judge will be left to th,
county bar association, many member,
of which favored the passage of tht
| bill creating the district court.

SAYS BAIRD IS OUT OF IT.
F~ltcF rs That Gaverror Fore WI
Not Reapaoint Him.

R~liee rs That Gaverror Fort WIZ
Not Reapaoint Him.
A Trenton dispatch says: The few
politicians at the State House Mon
day were startled by story, which
seemed TO emanate from an authorita-
tive source, that Governor Fort had
definitely made up his mind not to re,
appoint David Baird as a mem Der of
the State Board Of Assessors The
Governor, it was SAID, will issue a
call for special session of the Senate
to receive his nominations for mem
bers of the board of three experts who
are to reyalue railroad property.
1t was also said that the Governor
would take advantage of this special
session to send in the names of the
successors to the twenty-one members
of county tax boards whose terms ex-
pire next week, and that name other
than that. of David Baird would be
sent in for member of the State Board
of Assessors.
The Governor, it was said, had be.
come tired Of the way the bosses have
been fighting the reforms he has re-
commended, and he has now deter
mined to cut loose entirely from the
Republican machine and endeavor to
have his suggestions carried out by
appealing directly to the people.
Should the Governor fail to reap
point Baird political upheaval will
follow that will split the Republican
party squarely in two, with the Gov
ernor and his friends on one side and
the machine and it's followers on the
other. The contest would also extend
to the Senate, where it is said, the
name of David Baird is the only one
which will be confirmed as a member
of the Board Of Assessors. If any
other name is sent in Senator William
j. Bradley, of Camden, a close friend
of Baird, would Immediately object to
confirming it, and he, it is said, will
have the support of the Republican
senators.

the house in 1906, Bill Clerk Richard
Chaplin was a member from Morris.

the late session in Trenton by the Pas
