Ne WARk MOTOR
and YACHT CLUB
LEADS CONTEST.
Margin of Leaders in Race for
Three Free Libraries
Is Slight.
LIVELY STRUGGLE FOR
STEGER S425 PIANO
instrument Offered as Special
Prize No. A Adds Interest
to Competition.

The third count of ballots in the race
for the free libraries, which appears
below. will be read with interest by
many thousands Of people today. A
study of the count as compared with
last Saturday furnishes many inter-
esting and amusing features. The
Newark Motor and Yacht Club holds
the place of honor at the head of the
list, but Court South End No. 1852,
I. o. F., is such a close second as to
render the position of the club some
what insecure. In fact, there are Ave
lodges or clubs we'll punched together,
with only a small margin between
them, competing for library No. l. II
is hoped that the public will thorough
ly study the advertisements in con-
nection with the contest, 50 that every
body can clearly understand the rules
and regulations. See large page ad.
in todays Evening STAR. The first
important, fact to be well understood
Is that there are three libraries to be
given as principal prizes at the close
Of the contest March J., 1911. These
libraries are all the same size and
value, but No. has been selected with
a view to the requirements of lodges
and clubs, and will be given to the
lodge or club polling the most votes
during the contest; library No. will
b given to the church or religious so
ciety polling the greatest number Of
votes during the contest, and library
No. 8 will be given to the school poll
ing the greatest number of votes dur
ing the contest The lodges and clubs
are. therefore, competing with each
other only for the possession of prin-
cipal prize No. l.. The churches and
religious societies are competing with
each other only for principal prize No. 2,
and the schools are competing with
each other only for the possession of
principal prize No. 8. BY this 1t will
be seen that the Newark Motor and
Yacht Club. leads the. clubs. Next to
them In their class is Court South End

found 1t locked. He pounded on the

finally admitted him.

Suspected.
Especial to tn. Newark Star. !

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, Dec. to.--
Mamie Petillo, the 4-year-old daugh-
ter of Frank Petillo. of Red Bank, who
was kidnapped from the porch of her
home in Leonard street, that place,
October 20, and for whom a constant
search has been kept up ever since,
was found last might by her father
lying under the front fence of his
premises dead, as he then thought.
Petillo, acting upon the belief that
the child was dead, and foolishly
thinking that he had no right to touch
the body, went for a coroner to view
the remains. He was unable to find
this official, and the child was on the
ground all night. This morning the
father went to the Office of Prosecutor
John s. Applegate, jr, of Monmouth
county, and told OF his discovery. The
child was then taken into tho house
and Coroner John I. Sickles, of Allan
tic Highlands, was sent for.
Coroner Not Needed.
AS he was about to board the car he
was notified by County Detective III
wood Minugh that the child was alive
and that his presence was not neces-
sary. The child was noticed to De
breathing by its mother after It had
been in the house about an hour. It IL
thought that the child's condition was
brought about by exposure, and that
when she was placed under the fence
asst night she was asleep.
1t is thought the child will die as
the result OF cold and exposure. The
suspected kdnappers, who are sup-
posed to belong to a Black Hand So
ciety, are nov being closely watched
By the authorities, and arrests are ex-
pected some time today. ~

From the New York Sun:

From the New York SUM-
We have no sentiment but ad-
miration ana no word but praise
for the independence of the Gov
ernor-elect. This heed not prevent
us from examining somewhat Gu
riously his conclusion that because
at the primary election about one
fourth of the Democratic voters of
New Jersey, measured by the No
vember total, expressed under the
new law and in the absence of any
very general interest in the matter
a preference for Mr.. MARITIME as
senator, Mr.. MARITIME should be the
man. The size of the fraction does
not seem to be of much Importance.
II only forty-eight Democrats in
the State had thought 1t worth
while in September to record their
preference for senator as a sugges-
ton to the legislators entrusted by.
the Constitution and the laws with
the choice Of the States represent
atives at Washington, and IL
twenty-five of the forty-eight had
suggested for election a person even
more deplorably unadapted to pres
ent requirements than is Mr. Mar
tine Uf such thing Is easily con-
cefvable), it might be argued that
the moral duty of fidelity to the
principle was just as plain. A ma
jorfty OF the Democrats voting pref
erences under the act of October
%, 1907, would have spoken the last
word The vote OF twenty-five
would be conclusive by any rigid
application of the principle. This
imaginary situation serves to illus
trate the difficulties in the way of a
transfer, except by regular consti-
tutional amendment, Of a high func-
tion of government to another body
of voters than that to which the
Constitution confides 1t.
"Unhesitating fidelity to every
principal avowed," DR.. Wilson re-
marks, sis the highest law of po-
litieal morality" Our constitution
provides that the two senators for
each State shall be chosen by the
Legislature thereof. The intent of
the provision is not in doubt. 1t
was not intended that the Legisla-
IUI0 S1Oulu DGCOiHt Il titCl z AtNOA u
ing machine for preferences direct
" expressed by vote at the polls.
The method of choice by popular
vote was considered and rejected.
The convention which framed the
constitution voted unanimously for
the election of senators by the Leg
isiature. The reasons for this de-
cision were fundamental and have
been summarized by Judge Story.
This mode of appointment would
Immediately connect the State gov
ernments with the national gov
ernment, and thus harmonic the
whole into one universal system; it
would introduce a powerful check
upon each Legislature. in man
ner not unlike that created by the
different organizations of the House
of Commons and the House of
Lords in Great Britain, and il
would increase public confidence
by securing the national govern
ment from undue encroachments
on the powers of the States" The
platform upon which DIR. Wilson ran
for governor favors a constitutional
amendment substituting for the ex-
listing system the choice of senators
by popular vote. That has not yet

COUNTY OFFICES LOOK
GOOD TO POLITICIANS

Guthrie. okla, March 25.-While a
few members OF the second legisla-
ture will retire TO private life and
leave the mad race for political pop
ularity, the majority will be found in
the next campaign, seeking the votes
OF the people for either state, county
or national offices. Under the condi-
tions created by the new fees and sal.
aries bill. county Offices In many coun-
ties OF the state will appear particular
ly attractive and a number OF law
makers have already announced their
candidacy for such,
However, a question has arisen,
which the attorney general has been
called upon TO determine, regarding
the constitutional inhibition on the
holding of Offices by members Of the
legislature which created them or in
creased their emoluments.
Two members OF the lower house,
seeking the nomination for county at
torney, have asked for an opinion as
to their eligibility In view of the con-
stltlonal provision
Il is believed the attorney general
will hold that the inhibition cannot
hold before statute has been enact
ed by the legislature; in other words.
before the constitutional scale of sal
aries was modified. The Utah courts
have held, in view Of a similar con-
stitutional inhibition, that II does not
apply to the first action of the legis-
lature.
Such broad opinion from the at
torney generals Office would prove a
relief TO many would.be Office holders
who otherwise would be hlndered by
their legislative service.
