MURPHY TO IMPROVE
STERLING M'KINNEY
Geers Couldn't Do a Thing With
Famous Son of Nc
Kinney.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

HTORSEMEN generally will watch
with unusual interest the career
of the trotting stallion Sterling
Mckinney. 2:06A, during the coming
racing season. 1t will be remembered
that v. l.. Shuler took this son of the
mighty Mckinney, Eli. when he was
a cast-off and made a really high-class
trotter of him.. He then sold the stall
lion to a couple of Pennsylvanians for
the tidy sum of $685. 900, to- BE turned
over to the prince of reinsrnen, Ed.
Geers. In the hands of Geers the stall
lion has been about as worthless as a
trotter could be. He has a wonderful
burst of speed, but for some unaccount-
able reason he and Mr.. Geers never
got on well together. In the two sea
sons that he has been raced in the
Geers outfit the horse has trotted but
one or two really good races and very
few heats in which he has mot made
one or more breaks" Recently the
horse has been turned over to Tommy
Murphy. That rapidly rising young
trainer will winter him at Macon. Ga,
to endeavof to fit him for a campaign
next season that he seemed able to
make when his present owners paid
such a price for him. Sometimes one
trainer will get along with a horse that
has proved worthless in the hands of
another of equal skill, and if Murphy
can make a good r~acehorse out of Ster-
ling Mckinney it will be about the
largest feather in his cap UP to the
present writing.

LECTURE BY
AUSTRALIAN ORATOR.
Interesting Talk on Socialism
and The0s0phy.

Declaring that he believed in the
socialistic plan for human betterment
and happiness mi hoped for a reali-
cation of the cooperative common
wealth. but differed from the Socialists
in some of their ideas for This attain
ment. M. j. Witty, of Australia, de-
livered a lecture last night in the
Drake building under the auspices of
the Philosophical Society on ''Theoso-
ply as a Necessary Factor in Prog
ress." School Commissioner Frank
Harbridge presided.
A large number of Socialists were in
the audience, and at the conclusion the
lecturer was piled with questions on
astral life, Karma, soul suffering, d.
vine power, previous existence and re-
incarnation. He showed rare mastery
Of his subject and was listened to with
interest.
Among his remarks were included
these aphorisms: Theosophy is a ligth-
bringer-a universal science.
Man must have not a blind faith, but
a reasonins faith, which must bt
lrealized in acts.
Without a knowledge of what we are
a solution Of human progress is impos-
sible.
Man is the absolute arbiter of his
destiny-as he lives now so is he build
ing his future condition.
We cannot maxi mar good by legis-
lation.
Religion tells man to do; theosophy
teaches him why he should do,
The golden rule is based on the law
of Karma.
Government by majority in u pres
ent state means government by the
least experience. The vote should be
the highest honor a citizen can receive,
and should be the reward for true
ability.
A realization of the teachings of
theosophy will lead man to be unselfsh.
to help instead of hinder. to love in
stead of hate, to be tolerant instead of
Hvindictlve.

KEARNYITES OBJECT TO

Likely to Sign Petition for OiIing

Many complaints have been heard In
Kearny anent the failure of the au-
thorities to do something toward ailay-
ing the dust in Kearny avenue. The
trolley cars are always full of it and at
times the motormen and conductors
are temporarily blinded. The West
Hudson and Arlington Boards of Trade
have asked frequently that the thor
oughfare be oiled, but the Council has
not acted. The residents of the we
nue. are thinking seriously of getting a
petition signed by every resident from
the Erie railroad bridge to the Belle
vile turnpike and presenting 1t to the

COULDN'T BREAK
DEADLOCK OVER
HIGH SCHOOL SITE
East Orange City Council and
Education Board Try In
Vain TO Agree.

An unsuccessful effort to break the
deadlock between the City Council and
Board Of Education OF East Orange
over the selection of a High School
site was made last night at q session
of the former body that was attended
by an ~assemblage that filed the spa
cious Council chamber and brought
out considerable legal talent. Members
of the board adjourned their session
downstairs and took part in the argu-
ment.
A communication was first read from
President Sill. of the Board of Eduea-
ton. calling attention to the fact that
for two months nothing had been done
by the Council towards repeating the
ordinance passed for securing property
in Walnut street. north. so that tae
board might secure for sls.5oo the
ground owned by Mary r. White and
for SO, 500, the property next door. He
recalled the efforts of the Montclair
committee TO prevent the educational
authorities there from erecting a new
SNtops 4tOehA6 AHr 0Ot1H&Dn VI Liz gu
preme Court on that point. which sided
with the Board of Education. There is
nothing in the law, he claimed. giving
the Council a right to select = zchoo
site.
Leonard D.. Baldwin. a prominent
lawyer, said he had beer offered a re-
tainer by the Board of Education to
look after its interests. but had de-
clined and spoke as a citizen. He re-
ferred to the present crowded condi-
ton Of the High School. and declared
that, in rooms built for twenty pupils.
forty were housed. Mr.. Baldwin said
1t was a shame for the officials to con-
tinue to disagree. and that it should
not be necessary to take the matter
into the courts for settlement
When asked what the next step might
be. Mr.. Gedney said the case could be
brought to the State superintendent
and the State Board Of Education and
then. if necessary. to the Supreme
Court. He and Mr.. Baldwin parajed on
legal points. Mr.. Gedney finally stated
that it was up to the board to select
q site.
