Indian Association Meets.

The Morristown Indian association
held its annual meeting on Tuesday
morning at ten-thirty in the parlor Of
the South Street Presbyterian church.
There was re- election of it's officers,
as follows Honorary president, Mrs.
w. r. Brooks; president, Miss Louise
Stevenson; secretary, Miss Sarah
Buckley; treasurer, Miss Lucy n.
Morris; first vice president, Mrs. s..
Pitney Johnson; vice presidents. Mrs.
w. r. Bennett, Mrs. Alexander Mac
Coll, Mrs. r. B. Urmy and Mrs. T. f.
Sturges.
The meeting was made interesting
by report of the recent Lake Mohonk
conference in the interests of Indians
and other dependent peoples of our
nation. Through the influence of
these annual conferences the public
conscience has been awakened and
knowledge disseminated to such an
extent that there is a constantly in
creasing interest felt in securing the
natural and political rights of Indians,
and organizations have been formed
for that purpose, auxiliary to the
National Indian association.
The missionary feature is prominent
and while much is being accomplished
there yet remain twenty tribes and
remnants of tribes who have never
heard the gospel. In northern Cali
fornia alone there are thousands of
pagans.
There are interesting stories to be
heard at every meeting of our Indian
auxiliary, and a fuller attendance is
earnestly wished for.

THE joint meeting that will attract
national attention will not be held un-
til 1911, when Senator Kean' or his sue
cessor will be elected to the United
States senate. Elections for senator
will be held year from now in Cum
berland, Atlantic, Mercer, Bergen,
Morris, Ocean and Hudson, and all are
sure to return republican senators ex-
cept Hudson, which generally returns
democrats. 1t is scarcely possible for
the democrats to make any inroads in
any of these counties, and so far as can
be judged, the assembly Will remain
much as it is this year. The United
States senator who will be elected will
be either John Kean or some other
republican.

JUMPING to the conclusion from bis
first utrerances on the subject that
Governor Fort was going to call spe-
cial session Of the legislature to pre-
vent the diversion of water from the
state, the daily papers have devoted
columns 10 the subject, fixing the
time Of the session, who would be en-
titled 70 vote, the subjects taken up,
etc. Now the governor seems to have
come to the conclusion that it is not
necessary to convene a special session,
and the papers seem peevish about it.
Really, the governor should be more
considerate; such conduct is discour-
aging for eDterprising journalism.

upon The result of the election. He
had against him the slickest cam
paigner and vote-getter in Morristown,
and while the former absolutely re-
fused to make pledges of any kind and
did not attempt to gain votes by per-

his record in spite of the fact that a
most determined campaign was made

Four Thousand Leaguers Cheer For
Twenty Minutes When Editor
Is Named to Enter Mu-

New York, Oct. 7.--William Randolph
Hearst, once defeated for mayor of
this city by George B. Mcclellan and
later defeated by Charles e. Hughes
for governor of the state, was again
nominated for mayor at a mass meet
ing of 1000 Of his admirers at Cooper
Union.
This action was taken despite his
statement that he would not be can
didate. Resolutions were adopted d.
recting that committee Of FIVE be ap-
pointed to take steps for the naming Of
an entire city, county and borough
ticket, which will be placed in nomina-
tion by petition.
The meeting was called, according to
it's leaders, with view to showing
Mr.. Hearst that opinion among his fol-
lowers in the old Independence League
was so strongly in favor of his run
ming again as to override even his pos
tive declaration.
Every seat in the big hall was filed,
and the name Of Mr.. Hearst was greet
ed every time 1t was mentioned with a
salvo Of cheers.
When after half dozen speeches he
was formally nominated for mayor the
meeting rose to its feet after the ap-
proved manner of political conven-
tions, and the demonstration which
followed lasted twenty minutes.
The principal address was made by
William M. Ivins, who was the Re.
publican candidate for mayor against
Hearst and Mcclellan four years ago.
II come here as Republican and
former political opponent Of Mr.
Hearst" said Mr. WINS. ''I ran against
Mr.. Hearst four years ago and would
then have regarded his installation
into the New York mayoralty as q
great public calamity. But for foul
years now have watched him, and
am now convinced that there is not @
more sincere, more public spirited OF
more capable gentleman and citizer
before the public than Mr.. Hearst.
"In four years no one has been more
steadfast IN working for the public
good, and my firm allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party-at
least in national and state politics
does not prevent me from coming here
to bear testimony to Mr.. Hearst as &
whole souled independent we'll wishel
of his city and its people"
Mr.. WINS devoted a full half hour tt
the Tammany ticket, headed by Jus
tice William ]. Gaynor. "Justice Gay
nor is carrying the banner for thu
gang" he said. "He is the stalking
horse for Tammany. He leads thu
vilest ticket that has ever been placed
before New York"

NEW APPEAL FOR THAW.
Ex-Governor Black Argues For Re.
lease From Matseawan,

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 7.-Former Gov
ernor Frank S. Black appeared before
the court of appeals for Harry X.
Thaw and attacked the constitutional
ty of the act under which Stanford
Whites slayer was committed to the
Matteawan State Hospital For the
Criminal Insane and the law under
which Thaw is being detained in that
institution.
Mr.. Black contended that section
4o4 OF the code Of criminal procedure,
under which Supreme Court Justice
Bowling ordered Thaw committed,
was unconstitutional because the COM
mitment was ordered without due
process Of law. He held that there
was no proof that Thaw was insane at
the time of his acquittal.
In concluding Mr.. Black held that
Thaw was entitled to a jury trial to
determine his mental condition.
Assistant District Attorney Robert
G. Taylor Of New York argued that
the power exercised by Justice Dowl-
ing had been the common law and po-
lice power Of the state for years. He
pointed out that Justice Dowling was
guided in his action by the testimony
offered at the trial.

At Crurors island where Henry Hud
son stopped on his journey to the

party of red men in canoes put out
from shore bearing gifts. To Lieuten-
ant Lam they presented peace pipe,
and to Mr.. Bullock on the Clermont
they gave dozen ears Of corn grown
on the island. One Of the Indians gave
Mr.. Bullock a shell necklace.
Farther along the Clermont left the
line of parade and stopped at Clermont
dock, in front of the Livingston man.

great-grandson of Chancellor Living

the governor and party went ashore
and were driven to the new court
