sc, COMMUTERS PLEAD
FOR SPECIAL SESSION,

1t is estimated that thirty thousand
commuters sanctioned the telegram that
Governor Fort received today urging
him to call a special session of the
Legislature to enact, laws to prevent
the raise in passenger rates by the rail-
roads. The telegram, a copy of which
follows, vas signed by Thomas r.
Creede, who presided at the monster
protest meeting in East Orange Satur-
day night:
"As a result of the commuters
meeting in East Orange Saturday
night and the suggestions you made
for the people to express their dis
approval of the advance in passen-
ger rates, we have received letters,
kilograms and telephone calls rep
%resenting twenty municipalities
and 10000 commuters and other
patrons of the railroads who have
absolute faith in you and requesr
vol assistance"
Pursuant to a resolution adopted by
the commuters. Mr.. Creole appointed
the following committee to perfect the
organization of the Commuters League
of New Jersey:
Thomas r. Creole, Howard Marshall,
Joseph Coulson, w S.. Curren, j. p.
Voorhees,, E.. d. McKim, w. b. Harris,
Robert C. Ogden, Frederick T. Ward,
Frank e. Blake, B. f. Shakespeare,
Frederick Cross, Albert E.. Condit,
Charles b. Clark, Julian Gregory,
Joseph Froggatt, Willis Bromell. David
G. Holmes, ID. c. Edsall, c. II. Neid-
linger and Howard Kenny.
The organization meeting of the
league will be held in the office OF
Mayor William Cardwell, in Eas.
Orange, tomorrow night. The lead
ers have been invited to combine
with the tri-State movement, whicf
Is growing in New York and will
include that State, Connecticut and
New Jersey. This action may be taken
after the formation of the New Jer-
sey league, and it is also planned
to start a campaign for the formation
of a national commuters league.
Before the meeting last night Mr..
Creole asked the East Orange
| Common Council to appoint n
committee to attend the special
session Of the Legislature which
the commuters of the State are conf
LEM Governor Fort will convene.
| Councilman George A. Grover, chair
man of the railroad committee of the
| council, was named. Mr.. Creole also
asked City Counsel Jerome ID. Gedney
to attend the special session and he
expressed his willingness to do so.

citation passed resolutions last night
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1910-06-14
lodged by the Republican leaders who

control the Legislature.
The announced schedules of increased
rates go into effect within a fortnight,
and the public utilities law transform
ing the State Railroad Commission
into a public utilities commission does
not become effective till July 4.
1t was a convenient time that the
railroads selected to, increase their
tariffs, as the Republican leaders had
some knowledge of what vas coming
when they set the operative date in the
utilities act.
1t is apparent therefore that the
proper powers should not only be given
to the utilities commission, but the
operative date should be changed so
that the law will be effective at once
1t Is easier to prevent the railroads
from increasing their rates than it is
to bring about a reduction after the
increases go into effect.
The commuter vote in particular and
the remaining intelligent vote in gen.
eral is focused upon Legislature these
days.

Boy Tortured by EczeEa.

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He

them worse. A doctor treated him

extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back

Excessive eating is one OF our
'handiest and most needful scape-
goats. Almost every sin and trouble
of the human race is attributable to
1T. We grow fat because we eat
too much. We die young because
we eat too much. Rheumatism and
all other ills of the flesh come from
excessive indulgence in food. We
are not sure but that earthquake es
and volcanoes result from this COM
mon human vice. For could not a
plausible thesis be maintained that
the excessive eating of the inhabi-
tants OF one part of the earth so
alters the pressure upon it's crust
as to cause cracks and adjustments
along its weakest lines?
IL is not surprising. therefore,
that an explanation which explains
SO much should also explain the pres

HousetOp Evangelist.

York.-Jacob Kurtz, known as the
housetop evangelist, and who says
he lives upon less than 10 cents each
day, has been arrested on charges
preferred by his wife. The case grew
out of threats made by Kurtz after
he denied his daughter a suitor who
brought wine, waltz music and cigars
into his house. Kurtz says his wife
was embittered against him because
he drove the suftor away. Mrs.
Kurtz charges that her husband
threatened to do her and her daugh-
ter harm. Kurtz has attracted much
attention throughout this and adjoin-
ing States, having travelled about
preaching from housetops and using
a dog team to go from place to place.
Recently Kurtz made trip through
the country with a traction engine
