CIRCUS is COMING
Capt. Foster and His Aeroplane With

Capt. Foster and His Aeroplane With
Yankee Robinson Show
You have been reading for year
about airships and aeroplanes. You
have read where Wilbur Wright has
sold the aeroplane rights to the armies
of France, Germany and Russia. The
airship now being a certainty and prac-
ticable, it was up to some up-to-date
circus to carry one for this season
and demonstrate it to the public.
Yankee Robinson Shows, at an enor-
NOUS expense, has secured the ldentl-
cal ship that made the circle OF the
Eiffel Tower in Paris and will exhibit
this machine and it's workings before
the people who congregate in this city
on June 10th the day of exhibition.
This will be one of the greatest sights
YOU have ever witnessed in your life
and it may be many years before you
see another equally as great. PROT.
Foster, who has charge of the airshlp,
made all parts of the ship with the ex-
ception of the engines which propel 1T
through the air. No condition OF
weather will deter the Professor from
making his demonstration on circus
day, June 10.

To the Owners of Real Property in
Ladysmith:

To the Owners of Real Property in
Ladysmith:
Looking to more healthful and a
more beautiful city, it is necessary that
a general cleanup of the private prem
ises, streets and alleys of the city of
Ladysmith be inaugurated at once. 1t
is advised that before June first, 1910,
all lots and the adjacent streets and
alleys be thoroughly cleaned, so that
flies, mosquitoes and other disease
germ spreading insects will find no
deleterious material upon which to feed
and propagate, and that the city will
present an inviting and attractive ap-
pearanee to visitors and to our own
citizens.
The city ordinance relating to the
sanitary condition of the city is broad
and concise and gives to the board of
health and the health officer definite
and practically unlimited powers in
such matters and provides drastic
measures of punishment for failure to
heed the orders of such officers. Any
kind of filth may be declared nuisance
and may be removed at the owners or
tenants expense by the properly con-
stituted authorities.
Therefore, it is recommended that
you have your premises cleaned up and
in sanitary condition before June firGC
next. D. HI. RICHARDS, Mayor.

True Resumes Building Operations

The foundation built last season by
H. w. True on Second street west is
soon to be covered by a fine two-story
building 46x60 of concrete blocks.
After considerable delay, Mr.. True has
secured mould for block that meets
his ideal-a long block with a double
air space.
An abundance of sand and gravel in
the basement makes it possible to man
ufacture the blocks right on the ground,
which was begun this week. Mr.. True
has not yet decided what the building
will be used for.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
STRAJKoWSKI AND WIFE BOTH
HELD WITHOUT BAIL
CHILDREN IN JAIL WITH PARENTS
Evidence Given at Preliminary Hear
ing Conflicts with Statements
Made by Defendants

MADE by D6IenuduUS
Mike Strajkowski, charged with the
murder of Alfred Pjerrou on the even
ing of May II, had his preliminary
hearing Wednesday in the city council
room before Justice w. S. Manning, a
change of venue having been taken
from Justice R. S: Reeves, who con-
Quoted the inquest.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. StrajkOwskl were
in custody of the sheriff and with them
their three small children, aged one,
three and five years. The mother can
not talk English. All other witnesses
were excluded during the hearing.
The first witness called was Clinton
Garfield of Port Arthur, age IA. He,
with the two Dicus boys, caught up
with Pjerron and Strajkowski after
they had left Conrath's store to go to
the home of the latter, about mile
east of Port Arthur. The boys intend
ed to help Pjerron drive home his COWS,
which Srajkowski had shut up. There
was no talk along the road and when
they reached the house it was quite
dark. Strajkowski took some grocer
les into the house and came out with
his wife, who was talking Polish which
the bows could not understand. Straj-
kowski then told Pjerrou that he could
not have the cows unless he paid him.
Pjerrou replied that he must have his
cows. This conversation was repeated,
and Pjerrou made grab for the Pollock,
who struck at him and ran into the
house. All were standing near the
door Pjerrou and the boys, looking
through a window, noticed Frank
Petrokowski a relative of the family,
sitting at table with his back toward
the door. A lighted lamp was on the
table. They saw StrajkOwski and his
wife go into the bedroom and come out
with large revolver. Pjerrou re-
marked that he was not afraid of gun.
Carrying this weapon in his right hand,
StraikoWski came out, followed by his
wife. who Immediately went back into
the house and shut the door and did not
come out again The Pollock
three times ordered them off his land.
The boys ran away 27 PAGES, over
stumps and hillocks, leaving the two
men facing each other about three feet
apart. They stopped near tree, from
which position they could not see either
of the men, They heard no loud talk
or threats. About the time they
stopped they heard report and saw a
flash and Pierrou called out 'Orville. "
Immediately there was another shot.
Both flashes were perfectly horizontal,
and indicated that the men had moved
awav from the house. Orville Dicus
answered but got no reply, and the
bows ran back to Port Arthur and re-
ported the matter.
The foregoing story as told by the
Garfield boy, was corroborated in the
main by Orville Dicus, age IA. They
had known both men about a year and
had never had any trouble with the
defendant.
Herman Spresser, age 81, testified
that he saw the two men in Conrath's
store the evening of the 18th; was well
acquainted with both. He heard Straj-
kowski tell Pjerrou to come aud get his
cows. When the boys reported the
shooting, he accompanied Mrs. PJerror
to the scene with lantern. When they

A. GOVERNOR OF THE PEOPLE.

XIV O Governor of this State was ever criticised for taxing IN
ANU interest in lawmaking and legidmatey using his influence
to procure good legislation and defeat bad legislation. Inc
criticism has come in when the Governor has used his ofbclal patron
age to influence the votes of Legislators. So there is no lnconslst
encv with past criticism for Woodrow Wilson to be approved
when he declares that if elected Governor he proposes TO take an
interest in legislation, and, if necessary, appeal from the Leglsla
tue to the people. That is legitimate. Mr.. Lewis delyes into long
past political history in his speeches, but he doesn't go far enough
back. George c. Ludlow was the Democratic Governor from 1881
to 1884. He took a decided interest in legislation, but he did not
misuse his patronage. His administration was a splendid one. lie
W the kind of Governor that Woodrow Wilson proposes TO De.
In 1882 John j. Gardner, senator from Atlantic and now congress
man in the Second District, introduced three of the most infamous
corporation bills ever seen in the Legislature. They passed the
Senate like a flash. They were passed by the House with
some difficulty. Governor Ludlow in three ringing Vetoes
plainly addressed to the people of the State, aroused public
sentiment. The Senate, which was Republican, repassed the
three bills over the Governors veto. In the Democratic House
the bills were defeated. Governor Ludlow conferred an enormous
benefit upon the State. If he had been a CONSTITUTIONAL Governor
the objects of the three bills would have been attained. In bnef
they we're these: Railroad sovereignty over the entire waterfront
of Jersey CITY. the total exemption of ten acres of land and property
at Constable Hook belonging to the Standard Oil Company and
the seizure of many valuable parcels of riparian land, aggregatng
six thousand acres, by the United Railroads of New Jersey, This
contemplated and attempted great betrayal Of the State, engl
neered by Republican managers and Legislators, was defeated by
a courageous Governor of the same quality as woodrow wilson.

GROVER CLEVELAND HONoRED TO-DAY.

eTo ODAYS gathering of prominent citizens at Caldwell marks
a significant fact. They are there to pay tribute to the
memory of Grover Cleveland, twice President of the nation,
and ia do honor to his associate in life, Woodrow Wilson. The
passing of the years since Grover Cleveland was the moving spirit
in the struggle for his .countrys uplft has emphasized the true
worth of his strong, rugged, honest and highprinciped character.
Full appreciation now goes out to a life which stands as an endur
ing example of singular fidelity to law and to duty. He was the
forerunner of the Independent type of statesman who threw
defiance at political bossism, who measured his duty by the famous
utterance that public office is a public trust" but who tempered
his ourse moi bv the hysteria of the present day, but by the calm
and conservative action of true craftsmanship. He belongs to the
whole nation. The honor of his achievements may not be assumed
by any one State, but New Jersey feels that his name is irrevocably
interviewer with its history. Born in the modest little cottage at
Caldwell where todays gathering is held, and passing his latter
years al Princeton, where he now lies buried, New Jersey may
Justly claim him as one of her most distinguished sons. At such a
gathering it is eminenty fitting that New jerseys most dTin-
guished living citizen, Woodrow Wilson, should do homage to the
memory of the ilustrious dead.

wlIson-Record Debate.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
I noticed in the newspapers the other
day that there would be no debate on
the political issues of the day between
Woodrow Wilson, as the representative
of Democratic principles, and George
L. Record, the elf-constituted exponent
for the other side. And Tn glad of it.
1t strikes me hat in a debate of this
kind things are liable to &c wrong and
n or the other side may be wronged.
Too enthusiastic friends may do a lot
of mischief as we'll as those who would
attend such a debate for the express
purpose Of doing mischief. For in
stance, some hot supporter on n side
OF the other would suggest a question
that the debater would rather not ask.
for the obvious reason that 1t you'd
be a foolish one. And II he does not
ask it the hot supporter would be
mortally offended and may even be
turned into an enemy at the polls.
Another reason why I do not believe
in public debates of this kind is tr-%
friends of one or the other of the de-
baters, they being wholly innocent In
the matter. of course. might feel It in
cumbent upon themselves to pack" the
meeting. So if "a" scored a point A
would be applauded to the echo. and
if "B'' scores one he would be Kissed,
providing AS friends had done the
packing" Then, let me emphasize the
fact that the man with the f%ool-ques-

jects as / have named ever alluded 10
In our schools, and other matters, such
as obedience and politeness,s the evils
of smoking at an early age (both for
physical and moral ~reasons), and the
practise of gambling and betting, now
almost universal? Surely, a considera-
ton of all such questions would be as
useful as algebra, drawing, etc, II
there Is not time for all. Are any of
these matters spoken of in either day
or Sunday schools? Then, when we
hear of the enormous and excessive
mortality of children, arising either
from cruelty or ignorance, can we help
asking If some useful instruction on
life and health and feeding, might not
be given to our girls, who will be the
future mothers? The statistics on all
these matters are appalling, and we
are lamenting the declining birthrate.
while we do nothing to lessen the
frightful mortality; while some are
quarreling over educational questions
1t seems to me hat the real objects
and results of education are being
wholly overlooked.
