AFTER The JOBS

Decides to Make no Rec
concentrations

So many Democrats are after Jobs un-
der the new administration that the lives
of some Of the Democrats elected TO Coun-
ell are being made miserable. Every ward

not come because Of any lack Of appii-
cants.
Mayor J. Harvey Spruance will be al
lowed to appoint the city solicitor entire
ly on his own hook, and the Democratic
City Committee will keep hands OF. A
proposition for the committee 10 express
its choice for the new city solicitor came
before the committee last night, but It de-
cided to recomend nobody for the different
offices.
1t was said to-day that the choice for
city solicitor will narrow down between J.
Harvey whiteman and John w. Brady.
with the chances in favor OF the latter
from present indications.
Among some of the Democratic office
holders it was said to-day that there is an
understanding that new men viii be Sc
ected for the jobs, so that a new set OF
party workers other than those who gor
the plums in the past will be rewarded
this time.

lively identified with several other local
industries. He was selected as the Of
fetal head of the Democratic city organ

friends point with pride to the success
ful outcome Of his first campaign. II

ance, the Mayor-elect and Mr. English.

were cremated and veterinarians say that
there is no danger OF the disease spread

A peculiar thing about the outbreak is
that several years ago bloody Murrain. -
as anthrax was then known, appeared IN
a herd OF COWS on the farm and many
died. The bodies were buried on the farm
and il is the belief that the germs which
have been lurking there caused the out
break OF anthrax last fail and when the
twenty-five cows were turned out this
year the disease reappeared. Farmers dis
cussed the question at length to-day.

SDselai to THE EVENING JOURNAL

speplal TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
LpNDON, June 9.-War Secretary
Haltane. and Lord Roberts differ ma
toriaily as to the outlook for peace or
war so far as Great Britain is concerned.
The field marshal placed the period at
months, even intimates that it may yet
be days while Haldone insists that the
nation will have twenty years to perfect
the imperial defense.
Both spoke today before the Press Con-
ference. II had been expected that the
war secretary might outline the position
of the government but he did not do so.
After discussing matters at length he
dismissed the foreign situation with the
simple statement that the next twenty
years will prove the most important in
the development Of the nation relied ma
terially on her colonies.
Lord Roberts did not take kindly to
the statements Of Secretary Haldane. 1T
is impossible for us 10 look forward to
a period Of twenty years Of peace in
which we can prepare ourselves. am
inclined to reduce the period to months.
"If you will pay attention to an old
soldier, / counsel you that the present
situation demands the closest attention.
We cannot evade our responsibility nor
can we defer action.

moment is are we prepared 10 fight

Russian secret service agents, who

prepare the way for the car, have re-
ported that Italian revolutionists have
combined with Russian eXiles In Italy
in a plot to assassinate Nicholas and
that the trip cannot be taken withoui

SENATE TO MEET
ON MONDAY NEXT

This is the last day Of the term Of

dent Judge William c. spruance will ex-
pire on Friday, and that of Judge Ignat-
ius c. Grubb on Saturday. The term OF

sign in order to be confirmed by the State
Senate on Tuesday next for his new

While the Senate will be convened in
extraordinary session on Monday next to
confirm appointments made b Govern
OF Pennewill, it is expected that they
will not be confirmed until Tuesday. II
Is said to be the intention not to prolong
the session beyond two days, If possi-
bic, and there seems to be no reason why
the session should last any longer, as
no opposition worth while has developed
to the judicial appointments.
OF course the subject will be discussed
gravely by the Senators before the con-
sent Of the Senate is given to the ap-
pointments. The consent OF a majority
OF members is necessary to confirm the
appointments. The new judges are: James

William II. Boyce.
To Confirm on Tuesday.
Dover will be the scene OF a most inn
portant function OF State. attended by
a big crowd OF public men on Tuesday.
IT happens only once in three quadren-
NUNS and many Of those who propose

when the same event will probably occur
again.
The ceremony attending the confirmation
OF the new judiciary will take place on
that day. and between the hours OF
twelve. noon, and one o'clock in the af
ternoon the whole thing Will be done.
The State Senate will sit here in extra

feet complete reorganization. but vii
probably elect the same old officers whit
served last winter.
On Tuesday. promptly at - o'clock
noon. the doors Of the Senate will b.
thrown open and the appointees OF Gov
ernor Pennewill will be publicly con
nrmed II the program advocated by SOM
Senators is carried out.

The idea regarding the courtroom
alterations was that as far as one win
dow in the courtroom should be used
on the library side as an addition and
the opposite side as the private office
for Chancellor Curtis at times, so that
the Orphans Court as we'll as the

cramped for room. With the members
Of the bar. grand and petit iuries and
from 100 to 200 witnesses the court
would be cramped and the judges OBJ

With the proposed addition the
prisoners could be taken from the cars

could be run from the basement to
