CT lC THE CAUSE
or UHILDREh'S HOME

Trenton, Nov. 22:-Edward S.
Wood, president of the New Jersey
Children's Home Society, last night
gave a dinner in the Red Rambler
room at Hildebrecht's to the Trenton
and a few business lei There
were about thirty present.
Mr.. Wood, who has done much to
advance the cause of the work OF
the society, acted as toastma ster.
The dinner vas given for the pur-
pose of acquainting the guests with
the noble work of the society and
the financial effort now being made
to raise funds.
Besides Mr.. Wood, addresses were
given by Rev. DR.. w. w. Knox, of
New Brunswick; H. G. Stoddard, H.
M. voorhees,, John Harper, Superin-
tendent c. V. Williams and others.
1t was stated at the dinner that
$4,000 was needed by the society
to keep up the rapid growth of the
work and maintain and place the
many homeless children. Homeless
children from all over the state are
taken care of, and besides being pro-
perly fed, clothed and educated, are
provided with good homes after they
have been abandoned by their par
ents.
1t was decided to start an active
campaign today and
make an effort to raise the necessary
$4,000. Members of the society
will start out to solicit contributions,
several pledges of money having al
ready been made.
One of the causes of the increase
in expenses is the aid department,
the of which is to make pos
sible the care of needy children by
their own parents. The department
acts as a prosecuting agency in deal
ing with delinquent parents, seeks to
apprehend deserving parents, secures
homes in families for mothers and
children and provides temporary
care for destitute children who are
to be returned to their parents.

SCHOOL PROBE
WILL BE MADE
BY COMMITTEE

Trenton, Nov 22:-Some time next
week the special committee of the Sen
ate which, in conjunction with the
State Board of Education, is in charge
of an investigation of ths public school
system in the several school DISTRICTS of
the State, will renew the inquiry which
was suspended at the opening of the
campaign.
Senator Joseph 8. Frelinghuysen, of
Somerset County, chairman of the com
mittee, with Senators William J. Brad
ley, of Camden, and George s. Silzer, of
Middlesex, concluded that it would be
impolitic and ssvoring of an attempt to
bring the school system into politics to
continue the inv estigation during the
progress of an important political cam
paign.
That no misunderstanding as to the
future attitude of the committee may
exist, Senator Frelinghuysen, in a. for
NAL statement over his signature, an
nounced today that the Senate commit
tee would renew its hearings next week.
They will first take up Elizabeth, Pat
erson, Trenton and Camden.
When the school conditions in these
cities have been probed the committee
win determine what other school dis
tricts shall be visited. If time permits
the committee may return to Newark
and to Jersey City.
Before beginning the preparation of
its report it will hold a session to which
it will invite some of the supsrinten-
dents and principals of schools from
various sections of the State.
The return visit to Newark and Jer-
sey City, 1t 10 believed, will be partly
for the purpose of removing any false
impressions as to the manner in which
the school systems here and in Jersey
City are conducted, which may have
beer inferred from the published re-
ports anent the last visit.
Much valuable information, it is I'M
derstood has been (learned by the COM
mittee and the report of its findings to
the Legislature may result in impor-
tant changes in the general school laws.

In an article entitled my Com
panions in Exile and Late Partners

county, the major has this to say
about Theodore Strong:
. Theodore, the Strong, of Middle

by Ned Stokes, will o also be ban

hustler's thoughtful co|untenance as

call for an enforcement of the House
rules to remove Theodore from the

were always together. At the dances

joy rides in Miss Ryan's car, or
strolling along the sand by moon

summer colony at Cape May began
to whisper that the couple had be
come engaged, but they did not ex-
peet the silent engagement would
lead to such a romantic elopement.
Miss Ryan became a follower of
the Cape May baseball team and at
every game she watched Drew slide
bases, crack out singles and pick up
hot grounders at his position near
third base. Smiley has a reputation
for being able to do these things in
pretty finished style.
For three years he held down
third base on the Pennsylvania nine.
He was a terror to Princeton. Uni
yersity of Pennsylvania students
know him as a consistent baseball
player, but his name Will go down in
the athletic annals of the institution
as the man who broke up the Prince
ton game on Franklin Field in 1908.
Smiley went to bat with two men out
and hit the ball so far that he cfrcled
the bases before the Princeton out
felders could get to it. This was in
the last inning and the score was a
tie.
up at Princeton last spring
Smiley made six stops of hot ground
ers which saved Pennsylvania from
defeat. He played such q wonderful
game that a Princeton man remark
ed; N'WheVe do they get that man
Smiley?'
"He was prominent in the 1900
class. At class dances he was al
ways a prominent figure and he Did
efficient work on several class dance
committees. He is a member of the
Kappa Sigma fraternity and the
Friars Senior Society.
Mrs. Smiley is known to several
of her husbands friends. They all

waiting to get an opportunity to
congratulate the couple. Mrs. Smiley
comes from a prominent Washington
family and has a fortune in her own
right.
cat Mr.. and Mrs. A. R. Smiley's
house last night the father and
mother of the groom said that they

New Brunswick, Nov. 22:-Carl
Skiniwsky, of Roosevelt, who was
placed on trial yesterday for the al
legged killing of Tony Kokowsky at
Roosevelt September 81, was acquit-
ed yesterday afternoon on the
ground that the state had insufficient
evidence to convict him. Judge
Lyon directed the acquittal, stating
his reasons to the jury. For that
reason Assistant Prosecutor Watson
made a motion to nullify the indict-
ment against Sallie Wirzbicki, who
was held in the same case, but who
had turned states evidence against
the accused nan.
The state never concluded it had
sufficient evidence to convict either
or both of the accused persons, but
a feeling seemed to exist in Roose-
Welt that some legal disposition
should be made of the Ease and
therefore it was brought to court in
the regular way.

TWO EGGS AT SAME TIME.
White Leghorn Hen Performs Re-
markable Feat.

Pittsburg, Kan, March 16.-A hen
that can lay two eggs at one time
would have been a lucrative asset to
any farmer or other person dependent
upon the price paid for this kind of
food stuff two months ago, when one
egg served at the breakfast table was
considered q luxury. besides the re-
markable feat records of which are
few and far between. o. Quick. d
barber residing at Radley, a few miles
away, actually has hen that laid two
eggs at the same time.
Both were of the soft shell variety,
and were connected to each other by
a small tube. not more than a half
inch in length. Quick first made the
discovery, a few days ago. He was
attracted to his hen house by the noise
of a white leghorn hen. She seemed
excited and doubtless she was for to
her is given the credit of laying the
eggs.
Both were of normal size. One was
broken by Quick as ne lifted the two
from the nest. Its yolk appeared to be
Just like that of any other egg. The
egg not broken accidentally was eaten
by Quick one morning for breakfast.
He testified to it's richness of taste.
The white leghorn hen will hence
forth be carefully watched. Her nest
will be made I'D in an isolated part of
Cuzick's barn. Should she repeat her
initial feat of laying two eggs at the
same time, it is likely they will be
placed on exhibition.
