THANKS FOR PIE" SAYS
LETTER FROM PRESIDENT.
Takes Pen in Hand to Tell How
Good II Looks,

Confirmation of the rumor that the
big pie sent by the Wagner Pastry
Company to President Taft arrived
safely reached Newark today in no less
emphatic and official form than a let
ter from the President himself, which
is herewith reproduced.
This letter is not one of those third
person affairs signed by the secretary
but a genuine bona fide personal COM
m~unication from William H. Taft him.
self and signed with his own fair hand.
OF course, Mrs. Wagner does o pre-
tend to say that the President sat down
to a typewriter and ratified. the missive
off himself. No typewriter chair has
yet been built to accommodate him.
But he must have dictated it in person.
By shutting ones eyes and thinking
hard it is possible TO get a mental pic
ture of the chief executive of these
United States seated in the presidential
chair at the presidential desk and be-
ginning to a stenographer: f..
Dear Wagner Pastry Company" etc.
If this letter may be regarded as stat
ing facts literally the pie had not yet
been attacked when it was written. but
was being held in reserve TO make an
especial and particular presidential hol-
iday feast.
No little anxiety had been manifest
ed throughout the country concerning
the Presidents condition and apparently
it has all been wasted. It will be time
enough to worry when he eats the pie.

ESTRADA REJECTS
APPEAL OF MAOR|z
TO END FIGHTING
Will Not Consider Terms, and
Another Big Battle Is
Believed Near.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-General
Estrada, the revolutionary leader in
Nicaragua, will not accept the extra
ordinary terms proposed by the new
President, Madriz, as a basis for peace.
A telegram from Bluefelds states
that on the 22d instant Madriz had pro-
posed, in a telegram to Estrada, a sus-
pension of hostilities, pending the ar
rival of a committee which he was
sending to Estrada to discuss an
amicable and equitable settlement OF
the present strife. Madriz begged the
revolutionary leader not to obstruct his
efforts for peace. General Estrada in
his reply expressed his willingness to
meet the Madriz commissioners, but
said that the revolutionary party would
not recognize the action of the legisla-
tive assembly in placing power in the
lands of Madriz. He denied most en-
phatically the. assembly's right to deal
with the election of President and stat
ed that he saw in Madriz the usurper of
the rights of the Nicaraguan people.
The terms upon which Madriz is
willing to max peace, 1t is believed,
are shown In a letter which purports
to have been signed by him and adj
dressed to a friend. In it he expressed
his desire for peace without further
bloodshed and stated that whatever
might happen compatible with his dig
nifty and with the public interests he
was willing to accept. He says further
that the revolutionists should recognize
his government, and that after such
recognition both armies should be dis
banded, all arms and ammunition being
turned over to him.
He states that he would recognize
the debts and contracts of the revolu-
tionists and that within six months he
would look for the holding OF an cleo
ton, he guaranteeing free voting. He
adds that he would turn over such
power as he had impartially to the per-
son elected President and that he would
accept any other prope conditions.
1t is not doubted here that Estrada's
known astuteness will prevent him
from accepting terms of peace, pre-
dicted upon the prior surrender by him
of his army, arms and ammunition to
his enemy. Therefore it is not be-
lieved that the conference between Es-
trada and the Madriz commissioner
will result in any particular change in
the present status.
A telegram from Managua received
at the State Department says that
the Madriz party is making prepara-
| tons to send troops to the eastward to
meet Estrada's army.
Other kilograms confirm the published
report that Madriz had ordered the ar.
rest of Pasos, the son-in-law of the
former president. On the ground that
he had swindled the government out OF
money, but that Pasos had so far sue
ceeded in evading arrest. The Minister
of Finance, Santos, had been put ir
prison charged with sending unauthor-
lied kilograms and otherwise Interior.

ASKS REWARD
FOR FIGHT ON
FIRE EXCHANGE
Judge MacLear Appeals to Court
to Grant Him R~ecompense
for Successful Work.

Notwithstanding his success in hav-
ing the Newark Fire Exchange dis
solved because of its "trust-like'
methods Of arbitrarily raising insur-
ance rates in this city, Judge Malcolm
MacLear is likely to receive nothing in
the way of remuneration for his
trouble. Before Vice-Chancellors Stew
ems in the Chancery Court today Mr..
MacLear asked that he be allowed $40
each from the 1913 defendants, or 81, 46O
in all.
AT the time this matter first came
into the Chancery Court said Mr..
MacLear, II was city attorney for
Newark. A renewal of the insurance
on the public schools was sought, but
we found that this defendant, the New
ark Fire Insurance Exchange, repre-
senting practically all the important
insurance companies, had doubled the
rates. s
Mayor Haussling asked me what
was to be done, and l advised this ac-
ton, and, after consultation with the
Attorney-General of the State, l insti-
tuted the suit in this court. 1t was
decided in favor of the defendant, but
on appeal the Court of Errors and APP
peals overruled the decision of the
| Chaneery Court and decided in our
favor.
I'm the meantime, my term of office
had expired, but I voluntarily fought
/ the case. The matter is up before your
honor today on motion for form of the
decree to be signed, and l think 1t only
right that l be recompensed for my
trouble"
Mr.. Lindabury, in addressing the
court, remarked that the action had
been instituted in the attorney-gen-
a Salary by the State and was not al
lowed to accept a counsel fee.
Further" said Mr.. Lindabury, there
is no complainant in this case;. it is
instituted on information. T. Mr.. Mac
Lear comes into this case as COUNSEL
for informant, as he says, he didn't
bring in any clients who would be re-
sponsible for the, costs of the action II
the defendants won out. There is no
authority at all for the attorney-gen-
eral to appear by solicitor, as he APP
pears on some of the papers
The vice-chancellor interrupted Mr..
Lindabury to say hat the whole matter
hinged on the act of 1892, which gov
ney-general, he thought, could have
counsel, but he was not sure whether
this also included a solicitor.
Mr.. Lindabury cited a case bearing
out his contention. buttsthe court re-
served decision rpending the filing of.a
brief by Mr.. MacLear.

years old They beat him almost into
insensibility, he said, last night hi
he took sides against the older brother
in an argument with his sister. After
hearing the evidence the court finally
held the sons in $500 bail each to await
the action of the grand jury on a
charge of assault and battery.
The trouble, according to the testi-
mory of the principals, started when
James became abusive to his sister.

Fourth Precinct, who was off duty
and passing the house. was attracted
by cries of help" murder" police"

ARDENT WOOERs
GUN-PlAY LANDS
BOY BEHIND BARS
Pretty Girl, Object of l5-year=
old Lads Affection, Says
He Threatened Her.

Lured by the piquant beauty of Tes-
sic Placitelli, 1~5-year-old Antonio
Galiano is in a cell in the Third Pre-
cinct police station in default of $500
bond to keep the peace on the charge Of
threatening her with a revolver and
otherwise annoying the girl, M Tessie
is in tears in her home, 81 River street,
as she bemoans the fate of herofoster>
brother, for her father had paid the
passage of Antonio from Italy and
made him his adopted on.
There was no other way out of it,"
said the girl today as her beautiful
dark Eyes filled with tears. II am sure
that Tony meant to kill me and my
father. l liked him as a brother, but
he was too young to be my beau"
Two years ago the boy wrote from
Italy to Luigi Placitelli, father of the
girl, and asked him to bring him to
America. In the return mail the father
sent a ticket, and the boy came to the
Placitelli home. From the day he first
saw Tessie Placitelli he was desper-
ately in love.
The girl says she did not encourage
his attentions. but treated him like a
little brother. When she saw that he
was madly infatuated with her and
said hat he wanted to marry her she
repealed him. This, however, only made
the boys wooing more ardent and
strenuous.
Tessie. like all pretty girls, had many
admirers, but they were forced to shun
the house. because, it is said, that on
several occasions Tony flourished a re-
volyer and threatened to kill them.
On other occasions, it is charged, he
would face Tessie and her escort and
tell the escort that the girl belonged to
him and that he had no right to talk to
her.
Two months ago, SO the girl told
Judge Hahn today. her boy admirer
pulled a revolver and threatened to kill
her and her father unless she married
him. Finally, in fear of her life. she
went to the Third Precinct Police Court
and procured a summons for Tony. She
presented several exhibits of the boys
wooing, including dozens OF letters tell
ing of "the great. undying love" OF
Tony, also a Christmas postal card
filled with e%ndearing terms.
II am afraid of him, still / hate tc
see him go to JAIL" the girl told Judge
Hahn. "All 1 want is to have min
stop annoying me-"
Tony hung his head and said nothing
1t was then hat Judge Hahn lectureo
the 1~5-year-old Lothario and placed hin
under $500 bonds to keep the peace, ii
default of which he was led back to 6
cell.

DEARTH OF MEN WILLING TO
BE CENSUS. ENUMERATORS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Applicants
are not tumbling madly over themselves
in an effort to obtain jobs as census
enumerators, and United States Census
Director Durand is considerably per-
turbed over the shortage of men willing
TO earn government money. The diff
1iculty is in the West n South, and
especially in the cities. The job of
census enumerator pays so much per
day or per name. depending upon the
locality in which the work is done, and
averages about $50 per enumeration for
the entire time required.
In cities of over 5000 inhabitants,
where population is congested and
counting Is easy, the enumerator is re-
quired to finish his work in two weeks.
but in cities under that size and in
country districts one month is allowed.
Director Durand explains the ack of
applicants for census jobs only on the
theory that there is so. much prosperity
in the country that the government
jobs are not wanted. The time for APP
plications for these jobs ends on Janu-
sry %.

SENATOR ACKERMAN TAKES
ISSUE WITH MURPHY CREED.
Special to the Newark start

TRENTON. Dec. pa conspicuous
feature of the statement issued by Sen
ator Ernest r. Alderman. who has been
selected as majority leade of the COM
ing session OF the Senate, is the striking
manner in which it d~isagrees with the
recently promulgated creed" of former
Governor Franklin Murphy. The state
ment follows:
II am not prepared TO concur IN the
views recently expressed by Franklin
Murphy, but l nevertheless recognize
that between us there a only be an
honest difference of opinion, for / be-
lieve him to be sincere and patriotic. l
dissent very strongly from that part of
his program which would include the
judges OF our highest courts among the
annual contributors to party campaign
funds.
I'm connection with this subject, l
wish to emphasize the following ideas
which / gave to the public in December
last year:
New Jersey cannot afford to take
any backward steps. The people re-
gard the Republican party as being
aggressively committed to maintain on
the statute books the legislation of re-
cent years, for 1t is responsible for the
passage of the laws. 1t is this record
| which has enabled the Republican
party to hold the confidence of tht
/ people and to continue in power. To
| repeal such measures as, for instance
| the direct primary or the civil service
laws, would at once place the Repub-
lican party on the defensive, produc-
ing a political situation both unwise
and u~nwarranted, since the demands o.
the hour require that both laws should
be upheld by the Republican party.
"'The direct primary law. like an!
other new piece of legislation, ma,
have shown some points which neet
strengthening, but 1t has been clearl.
demonstrated by results that the peopl'
are interested and wish to take a direc
and active part in the nomination o
party candidates, and the people vii
Justly resent any Interference with thi
right; but the question of the exten
sion of the principle of direct primarie
so as to abolish State conventions a N
platforms, and thereby destroying re
sponsible party government, presents
serious proposition which should b
deeply and thoughtfully considered.
The increasing power of the Stat
and its municipalities urgently require
that the civil service shall be based Of
merit and fitness; that an efficient an
honest public employee shall be pro
tected in the work for the people. TIL
state must have it's work done for !
on the same plane as a well-conducte
business organization"
