such laws are none too strict for sinEe
the fight In Reno there have BEEN a
number of riots. bloodshed and murders
in the excitement stirred up in con-
nection with the contest.
THE city ordinances say that the
license of any exhibition that is against
decency and good order may be re-,
voked.
In deciding about the pictures every
reason against the fight is also valid
against the pictures. with this adj
ditional argument that while the fgfl
took place only once the pictures ma
be repeated many times, thus makiE
their power to corrupt and debase more
extended The pictures are advertised
TO faithfully represent hat which our
State laws and city ordinances declare
to be illegal and against the public
peace.
1T is on this point that the mayor
and he city counsellor have failed 10

SERVICE CRIPPLED, BUT
GARBAGE is COLLECTED.
City Scavenger's Department
Continues Work Despite Fire.

The work of collecting the city gar
bage today will be carried OF without
much difficulty, in spite of the fire
which destroyed the stables of L. J..
Buckley, the city scavenger, last Fri
day night, in which nearly 100 horses
persisted.
The service was badly crippled Sat-
urday, but the horses from the Wood
side and Vailsburg stables of the COM
pany were put into use and everything
that was left Saturday was collected
yesterday.
Although superintendent of Works
Shipman offered the use of the cdty's
equipment the company did not take
advantage of the offer, having enough
horses of their own to do the work.
Yesterday was spent by the company
in buying and hiring horses, and they
expect normal conditions to prevail in
a few days.
j. e. Lane, manager for the Buckley
Company, when seen this morning,
said: 1.-THE origin of the fire is as yet
unknown, and the damage is more than
$4,000. We cannot determine the ex-
act number of animals burned until
he stables are cleared of the dead
horses. About 100 horses either per-
ished In the flames or died as a result
OF burns. Though we are slightly
crippled now, we expect to put things
in good shape very soon"
The work of clearing the stable has
already begun and building will COM
mence as soon as possible.

ELECTROCUTION
AT OSSINNING PRISON.
Two New York Murderers Pay
Laws Penalty for Crimes.

OSSINING, N. Y, July 25.-In a lou
BILE execution at Sing Sing prison today
two men paid in the electric chair the
penalty for murders committed In New
York city. They were Carl Loose, con-
victed of the murder of his daughter,
n Giuseppe Gambaro, a fratricide.
But one shock of the electric current
was required in each case and the time
which elapsed from beginning to end
Of the executions was less than ten
minutes.
Loose was the first to go to the chair.
He maintained entire composure dur
ing the preliminaries and went to his
death without a word. Gambaro was
equally composed and equally silent
failing to display a sign of emotion.
Carl Loose was convicted of the
murder, in November, 1908, of his
daughter Mata. He killed the girl and
his son, the Rev. Frederick Will
lam Loose, while trying to murder his
wife. Loose's wife learned that her
husband had menaced their daughter.
She sent for her son, who was In the
West, to come to New York. When
the minister was informed of the ac-
tons of his father he told him he must
leave the house or be arrested.
The elder Loose went away. but next
morning appeared with a revolver
while the family was at breakfast, and
opened fire, with the evident intention
of killing his wife. She escaped injury,
however, while the daughter was shot
dead and the son wounded. Loose was
So years old. He was a baker by trade.
Giuseppe Gambaro shot and killed
his brother Vincenzo February 8,
1909. The men, together with a younger
brother, Francesca, a cripple. were en-
ployed by a glass novelty company in
New York city. For some reason
Giuseppe, who was a skilled designer,
earning $50 a week. was discharged,
and he blamed his brother Vincenzo,
who was foreman over him. for his
dismissal.

FIGHT ON FIGHT
FILMS THEME OF
REV. mr. S0LANDT
Belleville Avenue Congregational
Pastor Asks "Shall the
People Rule"

"Shall the People Ruler" was the SUBJ
ject Of a sermon delivered yesterday
by the Rev. James A. Solandt, pastor
of the Belleville Avenue Congregational
Church. Mr.. Solandt mainly discussed
prize-fighting and h moving pictures
of prize fights. He took for his text:
1 Timothy, i:S: But we know that the
law is good II a man use 1t lawfully,
as knowing this that the law was not
made for the righteous man, but for
the lawless and the unruly."' He said
in part:
I'VE have all been much interested
in the discussion regarding the exhibit
ton of pictures of prize fights in this
city. l will briefly state the condition
of the question as it now stands and
draw some conclusions from the same.
There exists a possibility of the
moving pictures of the J~ohnson-Jef-
fries prize-fight being exhibited here
A strong remonstrance has been sent
in to the city officials objecting to such
an exhibition. The remonstrance rep
resented the religious and moral sem
timent of our city. of all creeds and
denominations. These resolutions were
sent to the Mayor. the police commits
sioners and the license committee.
Jointly and severally, so thai each Of
flcial would feel the weight OF the res
buttons as far as his authority ex-
tends.
I'm addition to this there wal a re-
monstrance from the committee on in
struction OF the Boar of Education.
This should have had great weight, for
1t represents those to whom our city
gives the care and the training of the
children.
There has also been an expression
from the Governor of our State against
the pictures.
AS to the legality OF the question.
we have had a most emphatic state
ment from Supreme Court Justice
Francis ]. Swayze declaring that such
exhibitions would be in violation Of
State law.
Notwithstanding this overwhelming
expression against the exhibition our
Mayor and city counsellor say than
they find no grounds upon which they
could legally interfere with the show
ing of the pictures.
Some Principals Involved.
I'm saying what l do on this ques-
ton. I consider the officials as the serv-

ants OF the people. Theoretically, the
people elect them for their positions,
pay their salaries, and should have a
perfect right to give them instructions
by way Of petition or any other ade-
quate expression of public opinion as
to their duties. I will place the situa-
ton as clearly as / can before the
public and let the people judge regard
ing the action of our public servants
and the spirit they show in coming to
their decision.
The question deals with the govern
ment of a great city n Is, therefore,
one of the most difficult questions in
u national life. Many cities have al
ready changed to government by COM
mission because the people found it
otherwise impossible TO rid themselves
from great wrongs that have crept into
their management. In many cases the
official is the instrument of some po-
litical boss who really is the govern
inc authority. This boss pulls one
string IL he wants the official to say
Yes" and another If he wants him to
"a No I car.no say If that is the
case here or not, o know about that
better than 1 do.
THE Mayor says hat he is unable
to find any law which would warrant"
f%orbidding the pictures being shown. In
coming to this decision he says thai he
was aided by the technical advice OF
his legal advisers" presumably the
city counsellor.
THE wording of the mayors commun-
ication to me implies thai he is a very
sincere adherent to the law, as a guide
In the administration of the affairs Of
the city. I'M that while he would like
to comply to the wishes of the people,
he cannot do so because he cannot find
a law bidding him to do SO.
In answer to this, 1 would say that
the expression from the people, the
opinion of Judge Swayze. the highest
jurist in this State. should have been
sufficient basis for action. Is our mayor
such a stickler, for the enforcement of
law in u city? Does he enforce the
laws regulating the liquor traffic? In
regard to fighting bouts, has he re-
strained them? l give you the State
law regarding prize-f1ghting. Let the
people judge.
state laws, page s06. section Al.
Against public peace. Any person who
shall be engaged in a fight or combat,

also give the police authorities the
power to stop all such contests.

MAYOR WITTPENN
SAYS I'M THE MAN,
NOT Dr. WILSON
Jersey City's Executive Declares
He's Observation-Disclosures
President of Princeton.
Especial to the Newark star.l

ASBURY PARK, July 25.-While
here for an over-Sunday rest yesterday
Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn. of Jersey
City. in an interview, tells why in his
opinion he and not Woodrow Wilson
should be the nominee Of the Demo-
ocratic party" declared the mayor.
Woodrow Wilson is being advanced
by the corporate interests of the DEM
ocratic party" declared the Mayor,
.and I am independent. of any corporate
influence"
Mayor Wittpenn Mistaken.
mayor Wittpenn, who a y the COR
porations are back of Woodrow Will
sons candidacy for Governor, is entire
ly mistaken" says the Asbury Park
Press. which prints the interview today
and adds:
1--WE do not doubt but that the
nay is suspicious Of certain agen-
cies that are supporting Mr.. Wilson,
but that Woodrow Wilson would be
controlled by corporation influence. if
elected. is unthinkable. If he cannot
be controlled, Mayor Wittpenn can
feel reasonably assured the corpora
tons won't hang to Mr.. Wilson very
long. 1t has gotten to be a stale thing
to charge corporation influence against
everybody and anybody in politics.
This is unfair. 1t is fair, however. to
charge it against those who have been
in politics and who have shown the
cloven hoof, and thus Mr.. Wilson APP
pears to be strangely in advance over
many other candidates and would-be
candidates. OF Mayor Wittpenn it may
be said he has been a good mayor and
an honest public official, and the Demo-
cratic voters are glad to have such
men aspiring to the office of governor
of New Jersey"
Would Poll Great Vote.
The mayor reaflrmed the statement
that he is in the fight to stay and will
not pull out before the convention. So
far as Hudson county is concerned, he
said. he would have rs per cent Of the
delegates, all from Hoboken and North
Hudson, and more than half OF Jersey
City and Bayonne. That such a result,
in his judgment, would mean a victory
over the organization which made him
supervisor of Hudson county and
mayor Of Jersey City is shown where
the mayor continuing his interview
said:
"Of course 1 know hat my sticking
to the race is distasteful to Boss BOZ
Davis, but I believe in the principles
of the old-fashioned Democracy, and ]
want to see them carried out. I gel
more encouragement every day and an
gaining strength in every section OF

Regards DIR. Wilson Highly.
PERSONALLY I regard Woodrow VIII
son as a man Of high character and OF
good intention" he said. but he has
