There is as yet no organization in TINS
city of those who believe in the preserva-
ton of places of scenic interest, as Is the
case In New York state, where the Pal
iSades of the Hudson have been saved
from the hand of the despoiler largely
through the efforts of a society of that
nature. What has been done there might
be done in this locality and a good many
people who are familiar with the upper
reaches Of the Potomac, just to the north
west of the city, are of the opinion that
any effort put forth in that direction that
would result In preventing the further cut
ting away of the wooded heights that
skirt the west bank Of the river from near
the 1Aqueduct bridge to the Little Falls
and beyond would be good public policy
and would save for the enjoyment of the
present and future generations bit of
natural beauty that is unusual of it's kind.
This stretch of the river. with its high
banks thickly covered with a forest
growth, provides a setting of quiet beauty
for the bosom Of a stream that does not
lack in impreSsivenesS merely because it
has quieted down from its rush down the
mountains to the plain on which this city
stands. The Conduit road passes along
almost on the edge of the eastern side Of
this gorge and between that thoroughfare
and the river is the trolley road, so that
in these days one can sit comfortably in
the car and pass through the scenery of
this vicinity which a few years ago was
rarely seen except by those who had the
means to own hire vehicle of some
sort. Now, however, for one fare from
the center of the city it is possible to pass
through what has come to be called in re-
cent days the Palisades Of the Potomac
lust as the steamboat on the Hudson per-
forms the same service for travellers in
that locality.
Gashes in the Steep Banks.
1t is noticed, however, as the eye rests
upon the great masses of foliage that
gives the grace of form and beauty Of
color to this natural wall of the gorge,
that there are great gashes in the sides,
showing the bare earth. and at times can
be heard a succession of discharges, as If
some battery of artillery was at work.
However, 1t is. only dynamite, which is
being used to tear out the sides of the

Who is the cheerful looking man,
With eyes so full Of joy,
Who smiles and shakes YOUR

Who looks like be had happy

And never knew what trouble

ready, with a well devised plan,
to prevent the amendment going
on the November ballot They
were told very sweetly and blank.
ly by MIR. Roach that he would

and be governed by his advice.
OF course he knew what that adj
wise would be, even the news
paper reporters knew that much.
and he knew what his own course
would be, for he admitted, in a
later written communication.
that he had been carefully study
ing the law in anticipation Of the
coming Of the petitions. No
doubt he and Major we're care
fully planning the rejection of
the petition ever since they heard
that it would contain more
signatures than necessary to
make it legal
Major gave Roach a written
opinion Thursday when Roach
gave to Homer Hail, Attorney for
the petitioners, a written refusal
to file the petition. Majors
opinion, in brief, was simply
that the proposed amendment to
the constitution is uncoustution-
al! H e recited a NUMBER Of
reasons for such a conclusion not
one of which seems plausible,
even to a layman. His chief con-
tention was that the proposed
amendment repeats Section II
Of Article / of the constitution,
which section has been in opera
tive for % years, and violates the
provisions of Section 7of the.
same article, which is the section
under which senatorial districts
are created every ten years; but
he fails to cite the fact that the
proposed amendment creates q
new Section II in language which
would iuvalidate, though it does
not directly repeal Section T..
That section provides that the
legislature shall district the state
into "a senatorial districts, of as
nearly equal population as may
be, after each decenuial census.
and that if the legislature fails
or refuses to do it the division
may be made by the Governor,
the Attorney General and the
Secretary of State. The pro-
posed amendment provides that
alter each deceuuial census the
legislature OF the people shall
create the districts, and creates
districts TO stand till the census
OF 1920, the population of the
proposed districts having been
approXimated as nearly as
possible without the figures of
the censu of 1910. OF course
this, if adopted, would prevent
the Democratic Senate from
throwing the WORK of redistrict-
ing the state into the hands of
Major and Roach by refusing to
pass any redistricting bill that
the House Of Representatives OF
1911 may aoopt. This has been
the practice OF the Democratic
Senate for three successive
decades and Senatorial districts

WORK TOO HARD; GIRL
FLIES TO MOTHERS HOME.
Police Find Child and Will Re-
turn Her to Trenton.

Claiming that she was compelled to
work too hard by a family to which
she had been assigned by the State
Home for Girls at Trenton, Sadie NAL
10y, aged Is. ran away from that in
stitution and was placed under arrest
today by Plainclothesman Sebold, of
the Fourth Precinct, who found her
concealed in the home of her mother,
Mrs. Mary Schaefer, at 204 Charlton
street.
Mrs. Schaefer says that two years
ago on June II her daughter was work.
ing as a maid at So Astor street, and
after three weeks complained, she says,
that she was not receiving any pay.
Ashamed of her own shoes, she bor-
rowed pair belonging to the lady of
the house without asking permission
and before she returned them she was
reported to the police as having stolen
them. Arrested as she returned to the
house where she was employed, she
was charged with petty larceny and
sent to the home.
Two weeks ago she says she was
given into the care of a family where
there are three men and three women
who made her do all the work and i'm
posed on her. Last night she ran away
and came to her mother at once.
When the police officer went to the
house he could get no trace of the girl
but on entering and using a little di-
plomacy with the mother he got ar
opportunity to look around and found
the missing one behind a door. She
is held at the Fourth Precinct for the
Trenton authorities.

For the regulars National Commit

monious affair as contrasted with the
efforts of the rival factions in the

In the Eighth ward, as previously
told. the fight is over the attempted
turn-down by tho regulars, who DOM

of Alderman Whitfield and Freeholder

nomination.
The Sixteenth ward fight is the re-
suit of deadlock over the selection

ton men named Samuel ]. Wilson, and
the opposition. Edward e. Gnichtel,
and each received six votes. County
Chairman Dalrymple, exercising his
prerogative in case Of a tie. named
Wilson as chairman and the opposition
would not recognize him.

last week that Chairman Wilson should

FORT OBJECTS TO
USE OF LETTERS
IN SNEAO CASE
United States Circuit Court Is
Appealed to For Restraining
Order Against Prosecution.

Franklin w. Fort attorney for Vir-
ginia o. Wardlaw, added new angle
to the famous Ocey w. M Snead MUIR
der case yesterday when he applied to
the United Sttaes Circuit Court at
Trenton for an injunction restraining
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott from using
as evidence against Miss Wardlaw a
mass of letters and photographs that
Fort claims was obtained by the prose-
cutor by Illegal search and seizure.
Louis Hood, former assistant prose-
cutor who is helping Prosecutor Mott
in the preparation of the case against
the three sistres, today was disposed
to laugh at Forts application.
What does he expect the prosecutor
is going to do?" asked Hood. Think
we are going to sit idly by and allow
documentary evidence to be destroyed? :?
l don't think anyone expects that. The
prosecutor Of Essex County is per-
fectly within his rights and can easily
convince the court so on Monday.
Prosecutor Mott is on his vacation at
Nantucket, Mass, and will probably
allow Mr.. Hood to appear at Trenton
on Monday.
Beside Prosecutor Mott and Mr..
Hood the injunction asked for includes
William ]. Kinsley, a handwriting ex-
pert employed by Mott; Alfred j. Har-
gin, a county detective; Chief of Police

tectives Harry M. Riker and Harry j.

The attendant at the meeting was
somewhat disappointing in view of the
fact that Secretary William H. Parry
had, at the direction of President

the members of the committee to APP

ated clubs, which read in part as fol-
lows:
"The New Jersey clubs have been
somewhat dormant of late and We trust
that this convention will awaken the
enthusiasm of New Jerseys club mem
bers to its oldtime vigor. With a

torial election close at hand there is
every need for earnest and vigorous
work on the part of Republican work

at the New York convention, and it is
desired that the club members of New
