moron VEHICLE DEPARTMENT REVELATIONS.

m y extraordinary exhibition of official departmental hnanclal
IN methods is made in the report of State Auditor Drake
printed in THE STAR today. giving the results of an e1aml
nation of the accounts of the State Motor Vehicle Department The
head of this department is Assistant Secretary of State d. b.. H.
Smith. The report covers a period of fifteen months. In his INTRO
ductory the auditor shows that in the operation of the department
the law has been hagrantly violated in many important respects.
Subordinates with important duties are incompetent or do not per-
form their duties; there is no examination of inspectors as to their
fitness; the inspectors are unlawfully paid expenses, which are
shown to be excessive: there are Irregularities in the payment of
fees. The chief inspector makes his office at Jersey City, and numer-
Gus agencies along the shore afford opportunity for defraudlng the
State. The auditor gives instances. No record by the commissioner
~ all his official accounts can be found. and there is great looseness
in the handling of receipts. Expensive agencies are kept up, even
in New York and Philadelphia. that can be dispensed with. Last
year the expenses of the department were 20 per cent. of the re-
ceipts, but no record of the expenses has been kept There Is evil
dence Of transfers of names of employees from the secretary OF
States Office to that of the Motor Vehicle Department, but there is
no evidence of a transfer of services. 1t is evident, says the auditor
that receipts of the Motor Vehicle Department have been used for
personal purposes. 1t is shown in the report that personal checks
personal check thus signed was a year old. 1t is shown that re-
ceipts for licenses are withheld, instead of being RENTED to the
treasurer. for unlawful periods. The auditor found a confused
bookkeeping. There were no duplicate vouchers. Salaries are paid
instead of fees, as the law provides. Extravagant expenses are
allowed in addition. Agent Kaiser, of Jersey City, refused to tell
the auditor what his compensation was. The auditor found out
During seven months up to January Kaiser took $1,e3163 out of
his receipts for salary and expenses. The law does not provide
either for salaries or expenses. Other agents followed suit. The
department alone is responsible. One agent drew $2123O for com
missions" besides salary and expenses. Expense bills have not
been submitted to the comptroller. There is no record of the cost
of supplies sent to the agents and no check upon extravaganza Or
graft. Suretes for important contracts have been accepted without
any affidavit of their financial responsibility. Strangely loose office
methods are described by the auditor. Governor Fort, in referring
the report to Secretary of State Dickinson, who spends little time
in his office and sets the example of neglect to his subordinates
suggests that the report requires action on Dickinsons part. 1t

Snys Star Deserves Praise

To tho Editor of the Evening Star:
/ think that among the many VIC
tories that have crowned the efforts
of the STAR to make this city a good
one to live in is that which has fol-
lowed its publicity of the dangers of
the auto-car of the Salvage Corps in
speeding through the streets, regard
less of life and limb. In other words,
the saving of a dollar was considered
of more Importance than the lives Of
citizens. According to the reports in
your paper the Underwriters Associa-
ton, which supports the Salvage Corps,
has at least decided to direct the men
to make less speed on returning from
a fire. While everybody krf1ws that
the Salvage Corps does good work, the
fact that less speed on return from a
fire will not impair its efficiency will be
readily demonstrated If any time is
lost let the association buy another
machine. s. F. T.

that subjecting them to a trial in the
regular day court alongside of jailbirds
and hardened criminals accomplishes
ne good. and not only subjects the petty
offenders to unnecessary exposure, but
consumes a lot of the courts time.
According to the records of the cities
that have tried out the plan over 50
per cent. of the prisoners thus ar
raisned have been discharged, while Of
the remainder scarcely 3 per cent. have
been recommitted to jail. Newark is
large enough now to adopt some such
plan. and the First Criminal Court
would be a good place TO hold such a
court.
A review of our police court records
will show that many cases could be
disposed of as they are in the Western
cities referred to and the work of the
local courts would thus be greatly
facilitated. A. j. L.

a MoMENTOUs CONGRESS ELECTION TODAK

m Ii. eyes are turned to the Rochester congressional district in
IN New York today, for the possible result of the election in
that district has a country wide significance. The cam
paign has been fought on national issues, with a strong spice of the
personal element by reason of the record of George W. Aldridge,
the Republican regular candidate. Against him are many promi-
nent Republicans who will support the Democratic candidate be
cause of that record, while there is a strong Republican sentiment
in favor of a political change in the representation of the district
because of discomfort with administration policies and the Payne
Abdrich tariff. When Aldridge was nominated his election seemed
we'll assured. as the district is normally 10000 Republican and
Aidridge has been in complete control. But the feeling changed TO
such a degree that his defeat by 1000 is confidently predicted. If
the returns tonight show defeat for Aldridge there will then be
no doubt how the country will vote in November. And the tail
will 90 with the hide. The State elections generally will 90 with
the congressional.

and would visit every section of the State and come in contact
with the party voters. Mr.. Stokes is about TO begin his campaign.
The primaries will be held in September, so that he will have about
five months for his task. AS the nominations of members of the

such a sentiment for his candidacy among the voters that they will
nominate candidates pledged TO vote for him in the joint meeting
next January. AS this is the first year that members Of a Legis-

first time a candidate will have made a direct appeal to the party

Left-Handed Walkers.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
One of the most enjoyable pastimes
on a crowded Newark street seems to
be getting on the wrong side of the
sidewalk. Just where the irresistible
delight comes in I cannot see, but try
and walk a little faster than the crowd,
take the extreme right and note the
large number who cheerfully sail along
the wrong side. The greatest enjoy
ment seems to ON from the added
incumbrance of a baby carriage which
you have to get off the sidewalk to
dodge.
just try a little faster pace than the
big crowd on Broad street and see the
large number which is addicted to the
pleasure of getting in the way. Why
do people keep to the left and wonder
why other folks are rude?

An Early Morning Court.

testing a plan that has proved eminent
ly satisfactory and has relieved the
courts of a great deal of work. An
early morning court, resembling in
some respects the night court in New
York, is held every day, in which are
arraigned prisoners who have been
taken on petty charges.

amount that is generally paid. 1t is
