WASHING TON. Jan. 5.--That the bill
introduced by Representative William
I'll. Wiley. of East Orange, to further
promote the efficiency of the militia Is
a meritorious measure and worthy OF
support is evidenced by the fact that
the State Military Board of New Jer-
sey has heartily Endorsed il, and unani-
mously requested General w. f. Sad
Ter, jr., of Trenton, the adjutant- gen
era1, to solicit the support of the men,
bers of the New Jersey delegation.
Major Wiley is no novice in the mat
ter of warfare. He served in the Civil
War and had son,o trying experiences.
In the preparation of his bill he made
an exhaustive study of conditions. and
1t is his purpose to place the national
guard of the several States on an ef-
fective war footing. According to the
ideas of the members of the New Jer-
sey State Military Board the pro-
visions of his bill, if enacted. would do
this.
The members of the board who were
present at a recent meeting of that
tody when the matter was considered
were Major General p. f Wanser OF
Jersey City, commanding divisions;
Brigadier- General Wilbur F. Sadler, OF
Trenton. the adjutant- general: Briga-
dier-G General C. Edward Murray. quar-
termaster-g general; Colonel e. W. Hine,
commanding First Brigade; Brigadier-
General D. F. Collins. commanding
Second Brigade; Colonel John ID. Fra
ser. of Newark, commanding First In
fantry; Colonel Nelson Y. DUNCAN. of
Somerville, commanding Second In
fantry; Colonel John A. Mather or
Camden, commanding Third Infantry
Colonel Henry II. Brinkerhoff, of Jer-
sey City, commanding Fourth Infantry;
Commander Albert De Unger, com.
nanding Second Battalion Naval Re-
serve.
State Senator George S. Silzer of New
Brunswick. has interested himself in
the case Of Simon Cieclso. who came
here recently on the S. S. Prinz Adel-
bert. ciecko has relatives, who are
residents Of Sayreville, Middlesex
county He was held up by the inlmi-
grafton authorities at Ellis Island and
ordered TO be deported Senator Silzer
communicated with Congressman How
ell. who. in turn. took up the matter
with the Bureau of immigration in
Washington, and also with the commits
sloner at Ellis Island. William WILL
Jams, and requested that the man be
allowed to remain another week, pend
ing a further investigation of his case.
1t is feared Ciecko may be suffering
with trachoma. a disease of the eyes.
Should such be the case, under the law,
which is very explicit on this point, he
will be debarred and returned to. his
native country. Shall he be suffering
from a light attack, which has devel-
oped on the voyage to this country. it
Is possible he may be held in the hos
pital for treatment, and If the disease Is
found to be susceptible to treatment,
Ciecko will be permitted to land when
pronounced cured by the surgeons in
charge of the hospital.
Samuel r., McCloud, veterans of the
Civil War. who lives at Long Branch,
has written a letter to the House of
Representatives in advocacy of the ex-
prisoners of war bill The letter was
filed by Representative Howell. the
Congressman FROM the Third District,
and II went to the committee on invalid
pensions The letter states that the
matter has hung fire" for number of
years, and something ought to be done
in their behalf.
Some of the firms engaged in the can
ming industry at Matawan, Monmouth
county, are in favor of federal inspec-
tion of canning factories. They believe
that such inspection would aid in bring
ing about a greater consumption OF
canned goods, due to the fact that with
such an inspection the goods would bear
a label or certificate of the government
that would be virtually a guarantee of
their purity. The matter has had the
consideration CT the department of agri-
culture already, and there may be some
legislation of this sort before the final
adjournment of Congress.
