MERCHANTS AMI OFFICIALS
TO CONFER ON PAVEMENTS.
Works Board Also Considers
Trolley Ordnance.

The new trolley ordinance, requiring
that motormen must display a full
a sign or be fined $40 for running
past passengers, was placed on first
reading at the meeting of the Board
of Works yesterday. The ordinance re-
quiring the widening of the gates on
~pay-within cars was allowed to go over
for two weeks.
On the suggestion of the board, rep
resentatives of the South Broad Street
Improvement Association and the Mar
ket Street Business Mems Association
will appear before the legislative con-
ference of the heads of the city de-
partments tonight in regard to the re-
paving of Market and Broad streets.
Frederick Keer, of the Broad street as
ISOLATION, and Frederick Jay, of the
Market street organization, brought the
matter up at the board meeting yester-
day, They said that in their opinion
the city should stand a greater share
of the expense than ordinarily, because
the streets are used SO much.
City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd
and Commissioner William p. Mungle
were instructed to attend the meeting
in Chicago next week of the committee
Of the American Society for Municipal
Improvement on the standardizing of
granite-block paving specifications.
Chandler w. Riker, counse for the
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission,
was in conference with the members
of the board in connection with the
movement to make Jersey City stop
emptying sewage into Newark bay, A
bill is already before the Assembly,
introduced by ~Assemblyman Minard,
to include Jersey City and Bayonne in
the Passaic valley sewage district. 1t
is felt, however, that such legislation
would only complicate matters and
that the same object might be accom-
plished by a law prohibiting those
cities from draining into the bay. 1t
was the decision of those at the con-
ference that such a measure should
be introduced.

Charging that the reports of produce
raised on the county farm are padded
and that he will give the reasons why
Frank Adubato is being opposed for
the position of farm superintendent,
Freebooter Richard Il. Malta today
rushed to a defense of the county farm
head. Adubato's appointment was
brought about by Malta, and he is in
dignant at the treatment he says Adu-
bato received yesterday at the hands
of the hospital committee of the Free
holders.
"Adubato was called before the COM
mittee, and had no idea of what was
about to a k place." said Freebooter
Malta today. when he got to Over
brook he was confronted by a dozen
or fourteen men, and they began to
fire questions at him. He got ratified
II nervous, and hadn't time to answer
them.
If the FreeholderS who are mem
bers of this committee want to conduct
a civil service examination for all ap-
plicants for positions, let them go
ahead. Two can play at that game. /
will vouch that Adubato will show up
in a much better light thar his prede-
cessor. There will be no padding of
the reports of produce raised on the
county farm. Adubato was born In
Newark, educated in the schools here,
And spent five years on his fathers
farm near Princeton, His father has
been a practical farmer all his life
Director Wallace Oughletree also de-
clared today that the talk that Adu-
bato is an inexperienced man is UNI
e4rue. He said that the reports of
produce raised on the farm are exag-
kerated.
When the committee turned its at

Somerville Resident, Home
Burned Through Dogs Action,
Has Strange Abode.

SOMERVILLE, Feb. 1S.-Mrs. EVELYN
wentworth Murray, one of this towns
wealthiest women, noted for her many
charities and her love for dumb
animals, is living in a dolls house she
built near her home last fall for her
little niece Evelyn, because last sum-
mer she rescued from the streets of
New York a starving, yellow cur and
took it home with her.
Last Monday night her beautiful
$1,000 bungalow burned to the ground,
and Grille, the yellow cur, was the
cause of it.
II am not sorry now that 1 saved
Grille from the Streets she said last
night. II would do it over again. 1
am sorry that she lost her life in the
fre-along with her puppies"
Mrs. Murray's only reason for living
in the dolls house is to be near her
pets, n of which, a dog, caught cold
on the night of the fire, has pneumonia
and is being nursed in the dolls house
by his mistress. AS soon as the dog
RECEIVERS Mrs. Murray will probably
take all her pets to Manhattan to
board, until she can build again in
the spring.
Member of N. j. Society.
Mrs. Murray formerly lived at So
West Sixty-seventh street, Manhattan,
and is a member of the Bide-a-Wee
Home Association and second vice
president of the New Jersey Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
For years she had bee conspicuous in
all movements to better the condition
of horses and other animals in the city,
and many times has caused the ar
rest OF cruel drivers.
Last summer among other monde
script dogs that she saw and rescued
in this city's streets was a hungry yell
low cur, who seemed half sick and
thoroughly neglected.
Last fall Mrs. Murray built a tiny
little bungalow with only one small
room, where, it occurred to her, her
niece Evelyn might like to play when
she visited the farmland the servants
promptly named it the Dolls House.
In it h put a piano, a desk with her
papers, manuscripts and prose and
poelical writings and several easy
chairs.
Dog starts Fire.
Last Monday afternoon Mrs. Murray
lad piled some stockings over the
back of a chair in the kitchen of the
large bungalow, and let them near
the stove to dry.
-Girlie, very proud of her first litter
of pups, was playing with them in a
basket under the chair. Mrs. Murray
was busy writing in the Dolls House.
Suddenly Grille jumped out of the
basket, upset the chair against the
stove, set fire to the stockings and
chair, n burned with her three pups
in the flames that destroyed the house.
BY the time the fire was discovered it
was too late to save the building. All
of Mrs. Murray's jewelry and silver
burned with it. She had no insurance.

After touching upon several other
unfair laws Mrs. Wood said that in
her opinion they would never be fair
until the franchise was given to
women. She declared that the basic

no right to share in administering the,
functions of the government as guarj
anteed by the Federal constitution.

Mrs. woods Suffrage Talk.

Mrs. Harriet M. johnston Wood, of

practises in her husbands office, was
the principal speaker at a meeting of
the Essex County Suffrage Society, at
the home of Mrs. James M. Seymour. 81
Mount Pleasant avenue, yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Wood is an enthusi-
astic suffragist, and is particularly IN
terested in the New Jersey laws. In
talking of the Legal Status of Wom-
en-" she said that New Jersey had been
Illegally disenfranchised, according to
the Federal Constitution, which pro-
vides that citizens shall not be deprived
of their rights to vote without trial in
the courts, and judgment by court and
jury. ecSept in cases of capital CRIME
when Observation-Disclosures is a peralty
for felony.
Mrs. Wood declared her belief thai
the New Jersey women still had the
right TO vote. I'M advised them to at
tempt quietly to register at the coming
election, and, upon refusal, to take the
case through the various courts to the
Supreme Court.
Expect Eothing from the courts of
New Jersey" said she. "but work to
have your case presented to the highest
authorities, where a fair Judgment must
be given. You have a splendid 5cnance
to set a glorious example in progress to
the women Of other States" She then
outlined the Law in regard to women.

Jackson, Miss. April 22.-The 1910
season in the Cotton States League
will open one week hence. and all in
dications are favorable for a highly
successful season, despite the low sal
airy limit fixed, and the policy of
strict economy adopted.
Although not required to do so I'M
til two weeks after the opening of
the season, managers of the teams at
Jackson, Greenwood, Yazoo City,
Vicksburg, Hattiesburg and Meridian
have commenced the wedding out pro-
cess, and on the opening day one week
hence few of the teams will be carry
ing more than sixteen players, while
the evident determination is to cut
down to the twelve-player limit as
quickly as possible.
Considering the low salary limit,
the six managers have apparently
succeeded in getting together some
first-class- material, composed of
youngsters who have made good rec
ords on the amateur field, and cast
offs from other minor leagues, prin-
cipally the Southern Texas and South
Atlantic organizations.
Greenwood looks notably strong,
Meridian has promise of good bunch,
the Jackson organization is rounding
out in good shape. and, while reports
from Vicksburg, Yazoo City and Hat
tiesburg are meagre and rather in
definite, rendering it difficult to get
a line on the material signed, it is be-
lieved that these three towns will be
able to maintain the quality of ball
heretofore played in the Cotton States
League.

opening or the season at League Park
