THAT PUBLIC BUILDING JOKER"
Authorizations Made, But Funds
Must Come Later.

Washington, Sept. 8.-About the
most unpopular government official
around Washington now is J. Knox
Taylor, supervising architect Of treas
ury. Not that Mr.. Taylor is not smil-
ing, courteous and most obliging to all
persons on all occasions and under all
circumstances, for he Is. But unfor-
tunately the predicament that is bring
ing Goals Of fire on his official head
was not his work, but that of the men,
bers Of congress in the last session.
To make a long story short, on June
is, last, Chairman Bartholdt, of the
house committee on buildings and
grounds reported the public building
bill to the house for adoption. This
bill carried authorization for appro-
priations aggregating s19,2SS,55O, with
more than s3,O0O,000 addition for con-
tinuing contracts. It provided not on
ly for the purchase Of sites outright and
for the enlargement of new buildings,
but for the construction also Of new
ones from the ground up. When the
bill passed and President Taft placed
his signature to the measure, thereby
giving it life, it was heralded all over
the country, both by press dispatches
and by special correspondents from
Washington that the great public
building had passed and received the
presidents endorsement; that imme-
diately every part Of the country
would be flooded with government
money and feel the effects Of Uncle
Sans nberality. Congressman and
senators boosted the good news and
did not fail to pass the word along how
they had helped the measure when it
was in extTemis and how. haw thay not
been present in Just the nick Of time,
the whole thing would have gone to
smash. Then everything went well
until the postmaster at Charlotte
thought he would like to see some OF
the aforesaid government money. He
got in touch with the officials and they
passed him along to Supervising Ar
chitect Taylor. It was up to Mr.. Tay-
lor to say that there was congress
sional Joker in this bill. That though
there had been an authorization for
the construction Of many federal build
ings there was no appropriation, hence
no money. There Mr.. Taylor left the
matter.
Correspondents here who have IN
vestigated the situation have discover
ed that there is no money on hand for
these projects. Funds will be voted
during the coming session of congress
for these authorizations" and the
dilemma will be met when the sundry
bill is reached. The projects are safe.
The money will be appropriated but it
is a popularity of the law that though
Authorizations" are had there is no
real cash. The same situation applies
to the entire country.-P. H. MCGOWAN

Photoaraphy For Women.

Photography as a work for women
was brought into prominence recently

Miss Lena McCauley, art critic, In an
address on photography as the art of

as a work for She said in part:
Photography is the living art, the
art of the hour, the art Of today. 1t Is
the latest child of the pictorial arts
and the art most concerned in every
day living. We can think Of no phase
of human activity In which 1t has no
part, for 1t is ancaid not only OF pleas
ure, of beauty and decoration, but 1T is
an important factor in literature, in
science, In the manufactures. The d T
Reon depends upon the camera. This
astronomer and the microscopist use 1t
to extend their vision and to record
mysteries and discoveries.
photography offers 3 wide Geld for
the service OF women. Woman is natu-
rally an art lover and takes kindly to
instruction in art. The profession is not
hedged by precedent, as are Law and
the medical calling. Woman enters ON
the same platform as men, and. the
avenues OF work being so varied, she
is welcome and may do the work best
lifted for her without standing beside
her stronger brothers"

Salt Water Cataraets.

There are a good many salt water
cat8racts In existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow fiords,
or arms OF the sea, are ob~structed by
barriers of rock. The risinas@kde flows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water is held back at the ebb
until 1t breaks over the obstruction in
an irresistible torrent. Most curious
Of all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas
sage, where the island of Vancouver
approaches the British Columbia main
land. Here the nood tide from the
gulf of Georgia to the southwark is
held back at a narrow cleft between
two islands until 1t pours over In a
boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with
perhaps double the volume of the
Rhine. AT the turn OF the tide, how
waters from the north rush
back into the gulf. producing a cas-
cade of equal height and volume. The
waterfaif actually flows both ways.

RECOUNT TO BE HAD
IN ATLANTIC COUNTY

. Atlantic City, Nov. 11;-Allega-
lions of election frauds which, If
proved, will put a faint on the titles
of two Republican representatives to
their seats in congress, are thick In
South Jersey. Following the an
nouncement yesterday of the inten-
ton of Joseph e. Nowrey to contest
the election of Henry G. Loudenslag-
er, in the First district, because Of
frauds In Camden county, ONE the
announcement that John j. Gard
ner's election in the Second district
is to be challenged by his Depocra-
tic opponent, George Hampton, of
Bridgeton. Mr.. Hampton's friends
assert that dubious methods were
employed to roll up an overwhelming
majority against him in this city.
For the sole purpose of register
ing a sharp protest against the
methods employed by the "organiza-
ton at Tuesdays election, local
Democratic leaders have prevailed
upon Mr.. Hampton to ask for a re-
count. Formal application, 1t is I'M
derstood, will soon be made with
this object in view. In this city Mr..
Gardner received 6,476 votes to
1913 cast for Mr.. Hampton, more
than three to me-, while in the out
lying districts of the county, where
the election was conducted along
different lines, and in a more orderly
fashion, Gardner secured but 234
to Hampton's~ 25442, almost an even
break.
Yesterday it was decided that
some protest should be made against
the fraudulent voting in this city on
Tuesday. Just how best to- make
this was considered, and 1t vas ftlal-
ly agreed that recount of the Gard
northampton vote would be effective.
1t was not expected much would be
accomplished toward the defeat OF
Gardner by this recount, but it was
generally agreed the recount wF1ld
expose to the light of day much
crookedness.

WILSON HAD
BIG PILE OF
TELEGRAMS

Princeton, Nov. 11:-Governor-elect
Woodrow Wilson put in a strenuous
day in his library at Prospect, his resi-
dence, yesterday. seeking to make some
Roadway with the heavy volume of
congratulatory messages both kilograms
and letters, which nave reached him
since Tuesday. Mr.. Wilson is endea-
voring to make a personal response to
each communication. He did not leave
his residence until s O'Clock, when he
started out for a brisk walk, returning
for dinner at $50. He passed the
evening with the members of his I'M
mediate family.
The Governor-elect stated he is yerv
weary, and it is probable that he and
Mrs. Wilson will leave Princeton. early
next week for some quiet place where
he can recuperate for the strenuous
work ahead at Trenton. Interest is
being shown here in the selection of
a place of residence by the coming
Governor during the time between
January !, when he vaeates his present
residence and the time when he and
his family can occupy the stLittle
White House. in Sea Girt.
Owing to the fact that the new Gov
ernor does not own a home the Sea Grit
cottage will probably be occupied at o
very early date and used until late
next fall.
Governor-elect Wilson is earnestly
seeking information on all State mat
ters and concerning all the Senators
and Assemblymen of the coming Eegis-
lature and will begin his Administrations
with a remarkable insight into all
State problems. He expects to attend
the Princeton-Yale game tomorrow.

Medieval Monarehs.

Almost every medieval monarch
claimed a whole OF a part Of the
dominions Of almost every other and
insisted on inserting his claim in his
list of official titles. In treatises and
all official documents the whole list
was religiously copied, and as it often
=~4
happened that the two negotiating
monarchs had some of the same titles
tt~became usual to insert a clause in
the list, non praejudicando, in order to
indicate that, no matter how absurd,
inappropriate or untrue were the titles,
they were understood to be inserted
because they pleased the monarch who
claimed them, that they did not confer
a~valid claim, and so no harm was
likely to result from their use.

SAYREvILLE
SCORE FIRST

New Brunswick, Nov. 11:-With
nine members of the Sayreville w.
c. T. u. headed by Mrs. Anna Reed
Fisher, occupying seats en- one side
of the court room and a number of
men interested in the liquor traffic
in South River and ~Sayreville occu-
plying seats on the other side, the
county court yesterday had a most
interesting and interested audience.
1t was excise day. the day when the
Sayreville w. c. T. U. had its inning
against Sayreville liquor dealers aE-
plying for a renewal of their Ii
censes.
There were several applications
pending and Kargen Gargeski was
called to the front first to face the
music. His selection did not come
because of any great pull on his part
but because he happened to stand
first alphabetically in the list. Law
yer II. B. Cook represented him.
The w. c. T. u. was represented
by Senator Boyd Avis. OF Gloucester
county, and Charles F.. Sheppard, of
Bridgeton.
Sitting beside the counsel was DR..
Samuel II. Hahn, the secretary of
the Law and Order League, which
gathered the evidence on which the
applications were attacked.
Detectives Or Investigators, as
they call themselves, connected with
that league, were on the stand this
morning. They were Benjamin c..
McManus, Hunter Won Leer, Will
liam B. Cook, Charles Marshall, DIR.

against the place consisted in the
claim that Gargeski, or Xxi XII" as
the Investigators knew him, had no
rooms for dodgers and no meals to
serve. He did not have stabling ac-
commodations and was thus not pre-
pared for an inn and tavern bust
ness. 1t was also claimed that he
had sold two quart bottles of apple
jack to the men, but had taken the
precaution to pour a drink out of
each bottle first, so that they would
not be full quarts.
e The men had been unable TO get
into the place on Sunday. They had
seen a gambling machine there, but
had not been permitted to use 1t.
The league had also intended to
attack the legality Of the petition,
but the signers Of the application,
all foreigners, could not be located
by officers in S~ayreville and could
not be summoned to court to testify
as to their qualifications.
After hearing all of the evidence,
Judge Lyon refused the license ap-
~plication on the ground that the ap-
plicant did not have proper facili-
ties for serving the public. He kept
a place in a basement and did not
have the legal requirements for an
inn and tavern license.
The next application considered
vas that Of Frank A. Meleszewski.
Senator Silzer and Judge Hicks ap-
peared for the applicant.
The other applications to be ia
ken up are those of John M. Web
Der, Frank A. Meleszewski and

The w. C. T. U. is backed by the
will of the late James Sayre, of New

NOTE To HIS
SUCCESSOR
Especial Correspondence.)

Trenton. Nov. u:-Governor Fort
has written a courteous letter to Gov
ernor-elect Wilson assuring the latter
that he will be very glad to give him
any information that wiz be helpful to
him in undertaking the duties of chief
executive.
As yet0there is no intimation as to
whom DR.. Wilson will select to act as
ais private secretary. a Job that pays
= salary of $4,000 per annum. it is
likely that Samuel Gordon, who has
been messenger to every Governor of
the state since 1873, and who probably
knows more public men in the state
than any other man, will be retained
under the new Democratic administra-
tion. Gordon has already served un-
der six Democratic and five Republi-
governors.
On account OF the State Senate con-
Timing to have a Republican majority
there are some Democrats who express
ed themselves as apprehensive of the
manner in which the opposition party
will treat appointments submitted to
them for confirmation by Governor
Wilson, Discussing this subject today,
former Governor E. C. Stokes who was
a member of the State Senate when
Governor Werts was the Democratic
occupant of the executive office, said:
e'There is, no reason for anyone to
worry themselves about a Republican
Senate attempting TO maintain a poll.

fusing to confirm the appointments
that he will submit. The Republicans
did not do this in the Wcrts admins
tration and | do not think there is any
danger of its being done during the
next administration. Governor Wilson
will find the Republican majority in the
Senate perfectly willing to confirm his
appointments SO long as they are rep
resented by men fit for the places.'
Vivian NJ. Lewis, who was the Repub-
lican candidate for governor, expressed
views similar to those of former Gov
ernor Stokes with reference to the re-
l~ations between the Republican Senate
majority and Governor Wilson.
While on the face of the returns the
Senate will be Republican by a vote of
twelve to nine it is believed here by
those familiar with the political record
of Senator-elect Isaac Nichols, of Cum
berland, that he will be more or less
of an independent member of the up

CANAL AT NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 11:-A meeting
board room of the Maritime Ex-
change at 8 o'clock to consider the
proposed sea-leselcanal between
New York and Philadelphia. The
subject is before committees of the
Produce Exchange, the Maritime Elk
change and other representative
commercial organizations which have
been asked by Colonel Black, of the
War Department Board of Engi-
neers, stationed in New York, to CO.
operate with suggestions and recon-
mendations in relation to this inter
coastal waterway.
The War Department is engaged,
under the provisions of the river
and harbor act, upon the prepare
ton of plans and estimates for the
New York -harbor to Delaware river
section. This is a part of the ex-
tended scheme of providing a deep
draft canal in sheltered or inland
waters from New England to the
South, using the Cape Cod canal, a
canal acrosse~New Jersey from New
York harbor to the Delaware, and
thence TO the Chesapeake to Nor
folk
One argument is that National
expenditure would be justified by
the serviceability of the canal in
sending gunboats for the defense OF
the coast ports, while shipping in
terests look to the s Of the canal
for avoiding the risks of the ocean
coastwise voyage and to the revival
of canal transportation and the low
ering of rates.

meeting last Night the New York
strikers voted to accept a PROPOSE
ton of the companies to take back
all old men, regardless of their hav-
ing joined the union, and submit to
a committee of employees and en-
ployers the question of wages and
hours. The same proposition will
be voted upon by the New Jersey
strikers this afternoon and if ac-

who are still out.
Under the union agreement signed by
all but n of the smaller taxicab com
panies, 1,200 chauffeurs are back at
work. The two big taxicab concerns
have not given In.
Fierce rioting continued. At Seventh
avenue and F%orty-ninth street a
guards bullet wounded Charles G.
Polk, a b%ystan6er. The guard emp

strikers. Drivers were also beaten and
wagons wrecked at Broadway and
Seventeen street and in West Fifty

wagon was the center of a big riot in

Counsel for the express companies
involved in the present strike obtained
from Judge Lacombe~in the United

cause why an injunction should not be
granted restraining Mayor Gaynor, Po-
lice Commissioner Cropsey, the city
of New York and its agents from ar
resting drivers of the express compa-

Every effort was made by the law
yers to keep their move secret.
