VOTERS TO DECIDE
CIVIL SERVICE FATE HERE.
Aid. Congleton Seeks to Have
Question Determined at Polls.

1t is the intention of those interested
in the civil service law to petition Com
mon Council and also the Board of
Freeholders to give the voters of Essex
county an opportunity to show whether
they are in favor of the adoption of the
law in this city and county.
Alderman Jerome T. Congleton, who
has always been an ardent champion
of the law, is preparing forms to force
the Common Council to pass an ordi-
nance submitting the question to the
voters. Mr.. Congleton said today that
he intended to do everything in his
power to. give the people a chance to
express their wishes as to whether the
law should be adopted or not. He said
he believed that they were judging
from the many whom he had come in
contact with who had expressed them
selves as being in favor of it. and he
felt that it was only right that they
should be given a chance to say yes"
or nc" on the question.
The forms will be ready in a few
days, Mr.. Congleton said.

This money Forman owed Meisel-
bach from the time of the formation OF

He had borrowed altogether $4,000 aud
Mr.. Meiselbach was insisting on the
payment of the hnal sum of $4,000, the
other $4,000 having been paid in the
intervening time.
It is possible that another warrant
for Forman will be sworn out before
the day is over by the Miller Construc-
ton Company. At a meeting of the
board of directors yesterday it was de-
cided to engage counsel to axe what

\ refinement of life, no delicacy of

In short, the good citizen in a repub-

He is useless If he Is inefficient.
There is nothing to be done with that
type of citizen of whom all that can be
said is that he is harmless. Virtue
which is dependent upon a sluggish cir
culation is not impressive. There is lit
tie place in active life for the timid
good man. The mar who is saved by
weakness from robust w~ickedness is
likewise rendered immune from the ro-

BIG
GOLF TOURNAMENT
At END TODAY
Large Gallery of Admirers See
100 Starters in Final
Handicap.
Especial to the Newark Star.

LAKEWOOD, April 23.-In addition
to the semi-finals and finals of the
Country Club of Lakewood, Metede-
conk, Carasaljo, Meneta, Harmon and
three beaten eight cups there is an
eighteen-hole handicap being played to-
day in which there are about one hun
dred starters. 1t makes a grand field
of competitors for the closing day of
the Lakewood Country Clubs annual
spring tournament.
The chief attraction of the morning
was the match between Findlay S.
Douglas, Nassau Country Club, and
Frederick Herreshoff, West Brook,
which carried a large gallery of golf
admirers and enthusiasts. They made
a most excellent start, each driving a
long ball from the first tee.
Herreshoff pulled his ball slightly
and had to make his approach diagon-
ally over the corner of the bunker to
the green, while Douglas drove as
straight as an arrow to the edge of the
second bunker, and only had a short
massie pitch to the green.
Both drives were in the neighborhood
of 300 yards. the hole $40 yards. HERES
hoff made the pest approach and won
the hole in 4 to 8. After halving the
second Herreshoff won the third, fourth
and six, the fifth and seventh being
halved in the par off. Douglas made
his first well on the eighth hole, 46'
yards, which he won in the par of
four, by running down a forty-foot
putt. This reduced the lead of Here's
hoff to 8 up.
The lead Herreshoff secured over
Douglas on the start was more than the
ex-champion could overcome, although
he was only one down at the fifteenth.
Herreshoff. however. won the match
by 2 up. Walter ]. Travis. who plays
Herreshoff in the final. did the course in
IA. doing the last nine holes in 80, and
beat H. F. Whitney by 8 up and l to
play. Travis got a 2 on the eleventh
and Whitney a 2 on the twelfth of 240
yards. Their best ball coming in was 20.
