TUBERCULOSIS WAR
OPENS TOMORROW
Dangers of Phthisis to Be Illus
trated by Moving Pictures
in Fairgrounds.

The fall campaign of the Committee
of One Hundred will be opened tomor-
row night under the direction of Ernest
ID. Easton, the executive secretary of
the committee, by an illustrated lecture
to be given in the Fairgrounds at the
corner of Prince street and Waverly
avenue. The lecture win begin
promptly at s o'clock, and it is ex-
pected that a crowd of 5000 at least
will be on hand at that time. The
playground is in a congested district,
and Mr.. Easton is confident OF securing
a large audience. DIR. Oscar A. Mock
ridge has been obtained as speaker.
Moving pictures, supplied through the
efforts of William McKiernan, super
visor of the Fairgrounds, win make an
added attraction to the lantern slides
to be shown, illustrating the dangers
of tuberculosis. Mr.. Easton will be in
charge of the proceedings.
Further plans for the fall campaign
provide for two more lectures at the
Prince street grounds, and further lee
lures at other Fairgrounds, if such can
be secured. Mr.. Easton is very de-
sirous of holding a series of lectures on
Market street, below the Pennsylvania
railroad, but as yet no site suitable for
the project has been secured.
Plans are under way for securing the
cooperation of the large department
stores throughout the city for placing
on exhibition in their windows the
large map of Newark, plotted so as to
show the location of the deaths occur
ring during the past five years from
tuberculosis.

CROSS CONTINENT
WITH GOAT TEAM
Travellers in Newark-Had VAL
liable Dog Stolen While
in Millbnrn.

After journeying all the way across
the country from California to New
Jersey and meeting none but law
abiding citizens, three pedestrians and
Cap Edwards, a cripple, who drives
four Angora goats, were unfortunate
enough to have their valuable Mexican
shepherd dog stolen ron them in Mill
burn last night. Chief oliver was no.
titled, and he is doing everything in
his power to find the missing animal.
The calvacade is in Newark today
on the last lap of the journey, and Ed
wards declares that he will remain in
tn East three years if necessary to re-
cover his dog. The dog had been of
great assistance TO the little party,
taking care of the goats and five pack
burros at night and doing other odd
jobs. Naturally everyone was attached
to it and hated to see it stolen.
Edwards, who drives the goat wagon,
with j. r. johnson, Cecil Freeman n
Frederick r. English. left San Diego,
Cal, on April 1, 1908. New York was
their goal. They have been on the
road most of the time. and will enter
the metropolis on Monday. The party
had $1.50 IN the treasury when it
started. Expenses have been paid by
selling postcard photographs. The goats
helped with their wool occasionally.

HOT FIGHT COMING IN
PRIMARIES.
Petitions Indicate That 1t Will
Be War to the Knife.

Bloomfield is looking forward this
year to the hottest primary fight In
the history of the town. New Idea
men and Regulars have their knives
ground to a razor-edge and there will
be political gore galore.
Yesterday David w. Miller filed his
petition for nomination on the Repub-
lican ticket for councilman in the
Third ward, who will run against
Charles w. Chabot. Petitions have
already been filed by William A. Bald
win and George T.. Bedell, Republicans,
for membership of the Board of Edu-
cation in the Second and Third wards.
1t was said last night that Town
Clerk Davis would have opposition for
the nomination on the Republican
ticket in the person of Walter T.
Tower, former assistant postmaster. A
petition asking for the nomination of
Andrew b. Horgan on the Democratic
ticket for Town Clerk may be filed
today.
Politics are in a red-hot state in
Bloomfield just now and the unexpected
may happen so far as nominations are
concerned. The New Ideaites are out
to win in every ward If possible. Cor
nelius H.. Cadmus will be q candidate
on the Republican ticket in the First
district of the Third Ward for member
of the county committee. He is classed
as a New Ideaite. Seymour p. Gilbert.
