The condition of l2-year-old Dora
Clark, of IS Goblo street, who was
seriously burned in the yard of her
homo on Wednesday last, is gradually
growing worse and the physicians at

playing about bonfire when her
clothes became ignited. a man who

Meanwhile the valiant grils were down

men employers of the factory and an
agitator from New York city, hurling
defiance at their employers and pledg-
ing themselves to stand firm in their
demands. Unorganized, without a rec

fair treatment from their employers and
hope to get an approximate of such
treatment by using force.

EXPECT COURT WILL FIND
CIVIL SERVICE LAW INVALID.
Opinion Will Be Made Public in
November.

The appearance in Trenton of County
Counsel Joseph l.. Mum, of Essex
county, and Frank H. Sommer, both
of whom are interested in the civil
service law fight yesterday, gave rise
to the rumor that the Court of Errors
and Appeals, which is passing on the
law. will determine by a vote of 10
and counties, the law is invalid The
opinion has been prepared by Chancei-
lor Pitney, and will probably be made
public on the second Tuesday in No
vember. 1t is said that the court will
hold the law ilawless SO far as the
State service is concerned.
Governor Fort and Chancellor Pitney
have left for two days hunting in
Blooming Grove, Pa. 1t is believed that
the Governor has enlisted the aid of the
chancellor as a lawyer and friend In
the civil service tangle, which seems
likely to result from the decision of the
court.
Before leaving yesterday Governor
Fort said that if he called a special ses-
sion of the Legislature it would be for
November -. With the Legislature in
session when the decision is made pub
lie, bill to meet the courts statements
of the defects will be at once introduced
and an attempt made to put It through
before the machinery can be stopped
where the civil service law has been
adopted and the offices occupied by civil
service appointees filled by partisan
bodies

IS MADE PUBLIC
Ruling Would Bar Colgate Be.
cause He Was Not Elected
TO Essex Committee.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS
OPPOSE HIS OPINION
Dalrymple Refuses to Avail Him
self of the Technical
Point Raised.

"I have previously announced my
conclusion that the chairman of these
committees must necessarily be elected
ss members of the committees, a con-
cIasfon which reflection has confirmed,
and which I believe Is In accord with
the spirit of the decision in the Rother-
ham case"
Attorney General Edmund Wilson to-
day made public his opinion on the
cornty Craftsmanship situation, voicing
the above view in a letter to William
C. Van Horn. a member of the Repub-
lican County Committee of Ocean
county. He holds that under the pro-
visions of the statute of 1909 the chair
man must be chosen from the elected
body of the committee and that all
members of the committee must be
elected. This would disqualify Colonel
Austen Colgate, the Progressive candi-
date for chairman of the Essex county
committee. He quotes the opinion of
Justice Swayze in the Rotterdam case
to bear out his own opinion.
When asked about the opinion today,
FORMER Governor fThnKflu murphy,
chairman Of the State Republican Com
mitttee, said:
MOT being a lawyer, I cannot give
a legal opinion on the matter. 1 do
not see, however, why the members
2 of the county committee should not be
allowed to judge the qualifications of
their chairmen or why they should not
be allowed to select, the men they wish
to preside over their deliberations"
Notwithstanding the opinion of the
attorneygeneral, / shall not attempt
to bar Mr.. Colgate from being elected
to the chairmarship of the county
committee BECAUSE he is not an
elected member of the committee"
said Alfred N. Dalrymple, chairman of
the county committee. 81 went into
the flght with enough members pledged
to me to win out, and / do not intend
to put Colonel Colgate or any other
gentleman out of the race because he
is not a member"

Funny thing.

- Il uIlIly GIllliS.
Whenever an individ-
ual not in the business
of selling things has a
horse, a house, a dog, a
piano, a bicycle or his
services to sell, he will
straightway run to the
newspaper Office and put
in an ad. tellin e the
readers ofthe paper what
he has to sell.
1t isn't a big ad., but he
isn't a big business man,
and he hasn't much to
sell-the little ad. does
the business.
Not so with little store
keepers. They have coun-
ters and shelves full of
goods to sell, and they
want to sell them mighty
bad, but their instinct
doesn't lead them to rush
to the newspaper with
either a little or a big ad.
No; not one in one hum
dred of the little store
keepers in Newark adver-
tise-thatis why there are
so many little stores that
stay little and so few big
ones.
If the average small
storekeeper would be as
practical as the average
individual when he wants
people 10 know he has
something to sell there
would be loads of little
interesting ads. in the
STAR, morning and'even-
ing, that would be leading
to sales and making peo-
pie acquainted with the
advertisers.

GRAND JURY TO INDlCT
MISSING MURDERER.

Witnesses were heard by the grand
jury today in the charge of murder
that has been made by the police
against Peter De Marco, who shot to
death his foster-mother. Mrs. Jacob
Raub, of 222 South Tenth street, last
July. and also tried to kill Mamie Ranb,
her daughter, with whom he was lin
fatuated and who refused to listen to
appeals to marry him.
The slayer of the woman disappeared
soon after the crime, and has not yet
been arrested. An indictment against
him, it is thought, may facilitate the
course of justice, and 1t is for this rea-
son that the grand jury is now busy
with the case.
