REAL COLD WAVE
SCHEDULED To HIT
NEWARK TONIGHT
Sudden Fall of Temperature Is
Predicted by Weather
FOrecaster.

Because a belated cold wave is COM
ing in from the West on the Erie and
is sidetracked somewhere on that line
between here inc Chicago to allow
freight trains to pass, Newark is fore
ordained to suffer ALI day from semi
fog, mist and mud. Late tonight. the
weather nan says, there will be relief
with a falling temperature.
When it does come, the weather bu-
reau declares, it will make up for lost
time by getting down to business and
infiicting a taste of real winter upon
New Jersey. The drop will be sudden,
like a tumble from the third story to
the basement By midnight, it is said,
the thermometer will begin to fall.
The storm is coming On the wings
of a breeze that was born in British
Columbia, and after starting on a
transcontinental our got tired and
slowed down.. The fog and mist, the
weather man says, are caused by the
fatigue of the wind and the mixing Of
the warm and cold air currents.
Co-d-wave warnings nave been issued
for the Gulf States and the entire At
lantic coast. Reports from the differ
ent sections say the storm is one Of
the worst on record Railroad and
trolley and wire companies suffered the
most. Throughout Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois telegraph and telephone wires.
trees and shrubs were coated half an
inch thick with ice, and the weight
was SO great that hundreds of poles
and the limbs of thousands of trees
crashed to the ground.
Many towns are isolated, as far as
telegraph Inc telephone service is con
cerned, and 1t will require days to con-
meet up the lines temporarily. Broken
wires caused a number of electric light
companies to shut off their current and
many towns were in darkness.

Keeper of the Rescue Home. who has

about in ragged clothing and was
thought to be a pauper he accumu-
lated, little by little, sufficient money
to buy three building lots in Elizabeth.
He left them to the home, with his
gold watch and $50 in the bank.
When he was buried the whole home
was the funeral train. The Rev. Louis
Shreve Osborne, pastor Of Trinity
Episcopal Church, where Friday"
w%orshiped, paid him a compliment that
but few wealthy members of his parish
have received. Forsaking the usual
rites of the church which permit of no
eulogizing, the clergyman declared that
he could not complete the burial service
without paying a few words of praise
to the dead doorkeeper. The brief
eulogy he delivered was more than was

following Saturday. While on his

Nearly three hundred millions of riders indicated on the regis
tiers! This means that all the persons who rode on the Public
Service lines last year boarded the cars and aighted therefrom
almost three hundred million times.
Such a colossal total as 294, 1 10, 6O2 is beyond the compre-
hension of most minds, even in these days of big things. 1t con-
bilities rather than a plain Statement of fact regarding the opera
tion of the Public Service trolley roads.
Perhaps the immensely of the total may be more readily i'm
pressed on the mind by means of few comparative statements.
For instance, the 294. ITO. COZ rides taken by patrons
rides for every man, woman and child in the United States.
Similarly. they would have meant I57 rides for every
man, woman and child in the State of New Jersey.
In other words the Public Service last year performed a
task equivalent to carrying the population of the United
States 81 times or the population OF New Jersey 1877 times.
Further, 294.l ITO. 6O2 rides means the handling of
An average of "a .5Oo. 2l7 persons per month;
An average of 1855. o73 persons per week;
An average of 8O7. oo6 persons per day.
These figures are averages on the basis of a whole years bust.
ness. Some days and some months showed much greater de mands
on the system and much larger crowds to handle In December
last the daily average was 1896.
In every crowd there is bound to be some incon yenlence felt.
You know this from experience. Is it remarkable. there fore, that
there should be periods of crowding in the handling of 500, 900
trolley riders daily :? Wouldn't it be simply amazing if there
were not?
Conditions are such that the stream of travel flows one way
IN the morning and back again at evening. Something like the
tides. No human force IAN change the tides and it would take
something more than human powers to handle the trolley traffic
during the height Of the rush hour in a populous community to
the absolute satisfaction of every rider. Public Service possesses
no such powers.

rEMpoRAz,Ne PRESIDENT TAFT.

Mr. Taft has given Chief Forester
Pinchot a certificate OF appreciation
and renewed his pledge to sustain the
Roosevelt policies. following his let
ter of approval of Secretary Balm
gers course in the CLAWS case. in
which he authorized the secretary of
the interior to remove from office the
subordinate who undertook to criticise
the departments attitude toward the
public land policy. While, perhaps, it
was only fair that Mr.. Pinchot should
have word of approval from the
president, it can hardly be said that
Mr.. Taft has strengthened his position
in this controversy that has develop
ed in his official family by giving ex-
preston to his mistaken adherence to
his predecessors line of policy while
in practice encouraging course of
action by an executive officer of his
administration distinctly in opposition
to that policy. Mr.. Tafts letter to
Secretary Ballinger was very we'll
considered and very firmly expressed
and promised good results
as a measure of discipline. 1t may
have given offence to the Roosevelt
tians, and doubtless the friends CT
the recent president were preparing to
raise something of row over it. To
this it would have been better had
Mr.. Taft paid no attention, especially
as his letter to Mr.. Pinchot is hardly
calculated to still any revolt that was
making up, but rather to give encour-
agement to the trouble makers in the
belief that they have made an i'm
preston and may make a greater one
by persisting in their efforts to hold
Mr.. raft to the line drawn by Mr..
Roosevelt.
1t is hardly to be expected that
the Pinchot end of the controversy
will rest satisfied with the letter of
endorsement given by Mr.. Taft to the
forester. The issue is much deeper
than a matter of personal difference
between Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Pin
chot, and President Taft will have to
choose sooner or later whether he will
accept the one or the other side of
the mattr. Apparently he had deter
mined to stand by the Ballinger school,
but he has now intimated that he is
prepared to come over, at the proper
time, whenever that may be, to the
Pinchot side of the controversy. In
other words he has not cut out his
own course yet, but hangs to the
skirts of his predecessors path, tho
he is looking about on either side for
a new way to go along.
