RENTS FINE
BEREA COLLEGE
Gov. Wilson Acts FaVOrablY tor
the Cause Of Education.
CASE UNDER DAY Law IN
COURTS FOR A LONG TIME.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 30.-Gov.
Wilson TODAY acted favorably
upon the application of Berea
College for a remission OF the
Commemorative portion of the
fine of $1,000 assessed against
Bsrea College under the DAY
Law" The act under which the
fine was imposed provided pen
atty for any college or other edu-
eational institution which ad-
mitted both black and white as
students. The act was in the
courts for a number of years
upon a test of constitutionallty,
and only recently the Supreme
Court of the United States de-
clared it constitutional. In CIV
ing his reasons for the remission
of the fine, the Governor says;
After Berea College had
been a useful institution, doing
noble work for many years to
educate and bless the poor, both
the white youth of the noun
tains and some of the cOlored
youth, law was passed making
it a public offenfe to educate
white and black in the same
school. There was a serious
question raised in good faith as
TO the coustitutlonality of this
law, but it was finally adjudged
constitutional in the Circuit
Court, and this judgement was
affirmed in the Court of Appeals
and the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
"The result of this law and
prosecution was a very serious
blow to Berea College foCciug
the division of the all too slender
endowment between funds for
the benefit of the white students
and funds for the benefit of the
black students, aud has brought
upon the college fine of 81, 600,
an immense sum in costs, and no
doubt serious expenses for at
tornev's fees, and to that extent
has set back the cause of educa-
ton, and everything that the
college pays for this is that much
taken from the funds for ednca-
cation.
GAS this was a new law, and
the defense was in good faith,
and Berea College has been and
is one of the most usefGl institu-
tIons in the State, l am sure
that the Judgement OF the peo-
pie of all of the State will ap-
prove the action of the Governor
in remitting the States part of
tbo fine imposed, and therefore
direct that the States part of
the fine in the Commonwealth
against Berea College be and is
hereby RENTED"

FACTIONS
IN KEARNY AVOID
DIRECT LINEUP
Progressive and Regular Repub-
leans in First Ward Fail
to Elect Officers.

An opportunity to test the relative
strength Of THE Regular and the
Progressive elements in the First
Ward Republican Club. of Kearny, was
not afforded, as many had hoped, last
night, the date scheduled for the an
nual election of officers. A large num-
Der of members of the club assembled
at Evans's Hall expecting some fun.
while others had a more serious pur-
pose.
After much discussion it was gen.
orally conceded that the meeting was
not as representative as it should be
of the three divisions of the ward. and
a suggestion that the election of ohscers
be deferred for two weeks was ac-
quiesced in by all present. The chief
argument of those advocating a post
ponement of the election was the need
of thoroughly reorganizing the club in
order to infuse new energy into 1t, and
during the next fortnight present and
prospective members will be prevailed
upon to attend by a committee consist
ing of George Kelly. Town Clerk Will
lam 3. Ross, and Samuel w. Smith.
The question of adopting a new con-
stitution and bylaws was referred to
a committee consisting of Gabriel b
Reid, Henry V. Amerman and George
Kelly.
A special feature was the unanimous
adoption OF a resolution commencing
Mayor Louis NJ. Brock for taking an
active, personal interest in the procur-
ing of a postofflce for the town, de-.
%precating the alleged Federal investi-
cation of local postal conditions. and
declaring hat Kearny by reason OF
it's population of over $1,000. and the
rapid growth that it is acquiring, is
to better treatment from the
United States government.
Former Councilman John Davidson
presided and Samuel w. Smith, aegu-
lar, who is mentioned with former
School Trustee David w. Ferguson.

REVERSAL
IN WEST ORANGE
MEANS TROUBLE
Up to Councilman Brodesser
Whether the Town Council
Swings to Democrats.

The reversal of the result of the elec
tion in the Fourth Ward, West Orange.
which gives John E.. Klemm, Democrat,
a majority of two votes over Charles
r. Schweinler, Republican. has pro-
duced a peculiar mix-up in the West
Orange government.
When the new officials take their
seats on January 1, 1910, if Max Bro
oesser. Republican, from the First
ward, continues to remain with the
Democrats in voting, he will give the
Democratic party control of the Town
Council. If he is aligned with the Re-
publican5 that body will have control.
The new council will include six Re-
publicans and five Democrats, and
Councilman Brodesser naturally holds
the balance of power among h group.
Mayor Walter A. Flint, Republican, has
a vote with the councilmen, but the diff
ferences between Brodesser and his
party members will prevent the align
ment of that party strength in a single
formation
The Democratic sweep in the Oranges
which landed the Democrats four out
of ive councilmen in Orange and now
places the same proportion of the cleo
ton victory with the West Orange
Democrats, nearly changed the political
complexion of the Orange Common
Council, but the one ward saved to the
Republicans gives them control in Or
ange again.
By the decision of Chief Justice
Gummere in the Supreme Court circuit
today, to whom the disputed and re-
jected ballots were referred. Klemm
won out by two votes. As the result
of the recount held in the Court House
last night Mr.. Kfemm was the win
ner by one vote. He was defeated, ac-
cording to the official returns of the
district board of elections by two votes
and decided to make a fight through
Daniel A. Dugan.
Frank H. Sommer, former sheriff and
counsel for the defeated candidate, it is
understood, will make a contest on
the ground that some of the voters,
whose vote was counted, were not on
the regular polling list, but were sworn
in by the local election officers and then
cast their vote.
On the tally sheet of the district
board there were 1919 votes cast which
were accredited to the two candidates
in interest and the candidates of the
other parties, while min were rejected
