To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The request made by Jewish people
to the Board of Education that a SEES
sion of the evening school be held
Wednesday instead of Friday, so their
children can attend the school every
night, is reasonable. Jewish children
must go to their synagogues on Fri
day night, as it is a religious duty.
Their parents want them to go to each
session Of the evening school. The
Jewish population of Newark is large
and their request should be granted
The evening schools have four sessions
a week now. The proposition to have
only three would, If adopted, permit
the holding of a session Wednesday In
stead of Friday. JUSTICE.

FRIDAY EVENING. JULY /. 1910.


m IL. the members of the New Jersey Legislature Will re-
An ceiye the letters addressed to them by the Commuters
League requesting them to state their positions in regard
TO the railroad fare increase and an extra session. How many VIII
respond? It is safe to say there will be few responses from legsaa
TORS south of the Raritan, and probably none at all from the south
en tier of counties. In that section of the State there has been n o
announcement of increased railroad fares. The roads doing a
suburban business and having terminals in Philadelphia maintain
the same rates. If the purpose is to put up their fares after the
increase in North Jersey is in operation the South Jersey COM
muter is bIissfully unconscious of the fact. So there is no local
sentiment to prod the South Jersey legislator. But how many North
JERSEY legislators will respond?

THE DEFR4TED INA W. AT ALBANY

oT1 HAT AN the New York assemblymen who voted to kill the
Cobb compromise direct nomination bill at Albany yester
ddy we're actuated by unworthy motives, or we're controlled
by bad political influences, is a farfetched assumption. There is
inIJew York State a very strong sentiment against the adoption OF
the election changes proposed by Governor Hughes, and that senti
ment, to a great extent, is reflected by yesterdays vote. The com
promise bill that was voted down was inconsistent. 1t exempted
certain cities, which is maniestly wrong. An election law should
be applicable to a whole State, not merely to parts of a State. Ii
there should be uniformity in anything it ought to be in the method
of nominating men for public Office. But there are substantial ra-
sons why New York State should not adopt the experiment favored
by Governor Hughes. His primary plan is altogether different from
m now in vogue. 1t does not provide strictly for primary nomi-
nations and it opens the door to new election abuses. In recon-
mending the enactment of the bill, evidently, Roosevelt was less
Influenced by the merits of the bill than by the desire to help
Governor Hughes out.

A REVIEW.

This is the day which was orig
inally set for the aeronautic ex-
hibition of the railroads with their
new rates.
A great deal of thought had been
expended upon the 1iers, and the
trial flights were planned with the
greatest care.
But. like many other of the best
laid plans Of mice and men, these
plans slipped a cog.
1t seems that the officials of the
railways in this State did not know

ID Y all accounts, the coming together of President Taft and
I'D his predecessor and political sponsor yesterday didn't have
a bit of political significance. The two men didn't immune
themselves to settle the destinies of political parties and the nation,
and it is a question if anything was said about political affairs
Taft was glad to see his old friend Roosevelt and the latter was
delighted to meet Taft. 1t was altogether personal and social and
reminiscent of personal relations in the past. The correspondents
who lowered about were disappointed. They had looked for come
thing portentous and were prepared for the sensational. But it
was all so ordinary and even commonplace! There was a great deal
more in what the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor
of South Carolina.

H CELEBRATED ONR.
GOSSIP FROM RENO.

RENO, New, July 1.-After going
to bed last night, Jeffries lapsed
into a deep sleep. He did not re-
cover consciousness until this
morning before breakfast. This IL
regarded as a good sign by his
trainers.
Johnson thrives on training. He
seems to grow bigger and blaclpeF
every day. He will undoubtedly
be the dark horse in the fight.
Henry James, the celebrated
novelist and holder of the worlds
record for long sentences, who was
to have reported the big fight for
the North American Review, has
eab1ed to cancel his arrangements.
1t is believed his friends feared a
trip to Reno would result In a
novel dealing with the psychology
of divorce.
The sheriff intends to insist that
there be no shooting during the
fight. He says that at least there
ought not to be much of it.

DLscoMFl7URE FOR RoosEYELTATALBANK.

MAYHEM the letter from Roosevelt to Lloyd Griscom, convey
WV ing what was regarded as a mandate to the New York
Legislature to pass the compromise direct nominations
bill, appeared, the general belief was that the bill would forthwith
be passed. But the Assembly majority evidently thought other
wise, as the sequel showed yesterday. The remittance of Roosevelt
in party politics in New York State is inauspicious. The situation
at Albany, with only a few votes to gain for the bill, seemed favor
able for successful intervention. Governor Hughes had exhausted
his resources, but the weight of Roosevelts influence would surely
turn the scale in his favor. 1t looked like a safe venture, but the
Roosevelt influence wofuny miscarried and so did the Hughes pro
gram. With the adjournment of the Legislature the Governor con-
fesses defeat of a purpose cherished for two years and SO determined
l prosecuted that after the Legislature this year had rejected the
direct nominations bill be called it in extra session, with a demand
for it's enactment. Consequences of great moment will follow the
closing event of the legislative session, and they may extend to
national politics.

Fear building WIN collnnse.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Through space in your valuable
paper | would like to have the atten-
ton of the building inspector, or some
other official IN charge, called to a
three-story frame structure occupied
by a tanner at No. so Ferguson street.
The foundation of this place is all de-
cayed and the bricks are falling out
towards the sidewalk. The people in
the building either do not notice 1t or
do not care, as the bricks have been
falling out for a few weeks past. I'M
less something is done to stop its
coming down, it will bury someone
under it, sooner or later, especially a
number of children who play in the
street just opposite. Hoping something
will be done to remedy this before
someone is either hurt or killed, I beg
to remain, EXPECTANT.

AN IMPROVED STATE MARRIAGE LAW.

m BETTER regulation for marriage is now established by the
m legislative act of last winter, which went into operation
today. 1t remains to strictly enforce it. Vioators of the
law, whether they be cergymen or justices of the peace, must be
exposed and punished. None should be allowed to plead ignorance
of the law. A few examples made at the outset would have a
salutary effect. New Jersey is at last redeemed from a longstand-
ing reproach-its loose marriage laws, which made our State a
market for loose and promiscuous marriages.

NV o interest is paid on public school moneys kept by the Hack
AW ensack School Board in a local bank. The Frelinghuysen
committee, in its Investigations in the school districts of
the State, will find that in the school boards in most of the districts
the school funds are kept in bank without any interest. In the
aggregate the loss is considerable. As a rule the deposits are placed
in certain favored banks, and it may be found that some members
of the district school boards are directors of the bank repositories.

RANCIIER'S SKELETON FOUND
AND MYSTERY is SOLVED.
Hun>ers Discover Bones Of Allen
Park Farmer, Who Disap-
prared Years Ago.

Boulder, Colo, Oct 15.-The
mystery of the disappearance OF
Fritz Withmuller, rancher, from
his home in Allen park seven years
ago. was cleared up today when a
skeleton and few pieces of cloth
ing, found at lonely spot at Odessa
lake, rear his ranch, several days
ago were brought to Boulder and
identified. A shoe and portion of a
hat were positively identified by H.
w. Smith, neighbor, as having
been worn by the man at the time
OF his disappearance. A medicine
tube was found by the body.
Withmuller left his home in July,
1903, to walk to the home of a
neighboring rancher, few miles
away. Nothing was known of his
fate until the skeleton was discover
ed by a party of hunters from Love-
land last week. They notified the
coroner's office in this city, but left
no description of the place where the
bones were found. Deputy Coroner
j. P. Kelso searched for five days be-
fore he located the skeleton. A cor
oner's inquest will probably be held
tomorrow.
Withmuller was single. At the time
OF the disappearance the ranchers
and mining men throughout the
country surrounded Eates park and
Aliens park and made a systematic
but fruitless search for some trace
of the missing man.

OREGON TO INTRODUCE
HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGES

cartridges will be introduced in
Eastern Oregon and Washington
this fall. Sixty pairs of the birds
will be ordered from Yardley, Pa.
They are expected to arrive in about
two weeks and will be liberated in

1t is believed that these birds will
do we'll in the grain growing districts
where they will be introduced. They
are prolific, beautifully colored, har-
dy, ralatable, and gamy. Habits OF
the Hungarian partridge have been
carefully studied and it is believed
they will easily adapt themselves to
this section of the country. The
birds will be protected from hunters
until 1913, when it is thought they
will have become sufficiently plenti.
full in the grain fields to allow OF
their being hunted.
