FATHERS CUTICLE MAY
SAVE DAUGHTERS LIFE.
Parent Gives Up Eight Square
Inches for Grating.

ELIZABETH, July 27.-To save the
life of his 6-year-old daughter Eliza
BETH who was terribly burned a few
weeks ago while playing near bonfire,
William L. Downey, of 81 South Fifth
street, gave eight square inches of his
skin. which was grated over the burns
of the little girl.
The girl was playing near a bonfire
in front of her home when a small boy
threw a, stone in the fire. which caused
q myriad of sparks to fly upward, one
of which flew up the sleeve of the
little one and ignited the light cambric
of her dress In a few seconds the
sleeve was ablaze, and but for the timely
arrival of a passerby she would have
probably been burned to death. She
was carried to her home and a physi-
clan summoned.
She was taken to the Elizabeth GEN
eral Hospital, but battling the efforts
of the doctors to heal the wound in the
usual manner, it was found necessary
to use other means. When the father
heard of his daughters danger he went
to the hospital and offered any amount
of his skin to be taken If it would save
the life of his little girl.
The physicians Immediately began
the operation, and the little girl at
once showed signs of Improvement
The father on hearing that her wounds
We're healing also began to improve.
At the hospital 1t is thought that both
will be able to leave in few weeks.

SCHOOLS, POLICE
AND FIRE OEPTS.
COST CITIES MOST
New York Second Only to Bos-
ton in the Matter of
Education.
Miss Mary $. Horton.

WASHINGTON, July 27-According
to figures prepared by the census
bureau. the larger cities of the country
pay more for schools and for police
and fire protection and related service
than on all other accounts, and of
these two items the payment on ac-
count of schools >is much the largest
the per capita expense for schools being
$40, as compared with s2.25 for police
and $1.72 for fire protection.
The figures are given out as part
of the bureaus report covering the
financial operations for cities during
the year 1908 The report covers all
cities of more than 10000 population, of
which there are 1853. The aggregate
cost of operating of all these cities is
$404, ,997, ,312.
The report indicates a general In
crease in the cost of maintaining city
governments. In 1902 the average was
$13.38 per capita. BY 1908 it had ad-
vanced to 1861 per capita. OF the
total amount. more than one-fourth
was paid by New York. Philadelphia's
expenses were only about ne-fourth
as much as those of New York. But.
as large as were the figures for New
York, the people of Boston paid more
In proportion to population.
Boston Heads the List.
The New England metropolis heads
the list with an expense cost of SPIES
for each person. OF the large cities,
New York comes next with cost of
$2471, while Washington, with a cost
of s24.6s, makes a close third. OF the
first class cities, New Orleans paid less
for city government than any other. the
cost being only $1276 per capita. Balti-
more, with an expenditure of S13S4, was
close second. OF the cities of the
second class. Denver stood at the head
and ST. Joseph at the foot of the list,
the figures for the Missouri city being
only 1856 per capita and those of Dem
yer $24.44. Salt Lake City paid most
per capita for schools, 1913. but New
ton, Mass, with $8, was a close second.
In this respect Montgomery. Ala, made
the lowest expenditure, $1.63 per capita

PLAINFIELD. July 27.-By a vote Of
255 out of a total of PSI. the four voting
machines in this city were abolished at
the special election yesterday. This to-
tai vote in the four wards was about
one-tenth the number registered at last
fall's election. The Democrats were
more largely represented, but the vote
was in no sense a party one. for the
machines have been opposed by both
parties.
The election was held in the first
districts of the four wards which have
been the only machine districts. The
machines have been used in these dis

SEA GIRT NOTES

| he was stopped. His first Impression
was that new man in the regiments
was getting too officious, but he soon
learned he could not drive ahead.
II have chickens for the officers up
thereF shouted the expressman at the
guards, and l am going through, or
there will be some fun"
New orders answered the guards,
you cannot drive up
We'll, no chickens will reach Quality
Row then" declared the driver, "and
unless someone comes down here and
gets them, l won't carry them up"
Then came the fun. There was some
nasty conversation in the officers line,
and no move was made by. either side
for some time. The officers wanted the
chickens and they wanted orders
obeyed. There was a suspension of
some kind, however. and the chickens
were delivered. The expressman and
chickens won the day for few minutes
and up he drove with the crates. ,
The bands of either regiment have so
far failed to play the "Star-Spanglsd
Banner" at the close of concerts, and
1t Is believed the commanders have in
mind the experience of last year, when
the then Colonel Freeman, of the First,
ordered the band to stop playing the
tune. At the close of a concert by the
First band this week the leader went to
the tent of Colonel Frazer just before
the concert ended and asked a question
concerning a concluding air. When the
bandmaster returned to his position it
was wondered what tune would be
played The musicians picked up their
instruments and chairs and went to
quarters. No national air was played
When Colonel Freeman gave his order
last year in a loud tone, the affair
caused a mild sensation, and there was
SO much discussion over the affair that
the two colonels this year are on their
guard to see that nothing of the
kind occurs again. The two bands
are having all kinds OF competition
and the music has been SO good
at the concerts given in front OF
Colonel Fraser's and Colonel Hines
quarters that large crowds are at
tracted. Both bandmasters are try
ing to outshine the other. The Fifth
regiment men are claiming they have
one of the best bands for marching that
goes to camp in this section. and say
good words for the concert music. The
First regiment men are also enthusi-
astic in their praise of their band, and
claim it cannot be equalled in concert
music. The band will play at the Cow
ernor's cottage during the luncheon.

STATE CAMP, SEA GIRT, July 27.-
Several hundred men of the First Regi-
ment had mimic warfare this morning
along the beach. The soldiers were
sent on the march shortly after break
fast, accompanied by several regular
army officers. 1t was piping hot at
the time, no breeze of any kind blow
Ing. The men wore no blouses. The
two forces were distributed when the
beach was reached and the soldiers
started digging trenches in the sand
They were given a strenuous task, but
took enjoyment in the novel work, and
the sharp ring of musketry fire was
heard all over camp. Men were ruled
out of action when they were in open
fire.
General Wood, of the United States
Army, has written a letter to Col
onel Austen Colgate in which he states
that he will try to visit the encamp-
ment before 1t ends. The belief that
General Wood might come on from
Washington has prevailed for the past
few days and his letter to Colonel Col
gate leads to the belief that he will
be present. The last visit of General
Wood was the occasion of quite a hoH-
day and thousands journeyed to the
encampment to see him inspect the
troops. Whether he will arrive this
week Is not known, but it is thought
better military display might be
made with the brigade If he should
make the journey he will probably
come on a special from the capitol

STANFORD PASTOR
SCORES IRRELIGION
Chaplain Declares That Students
Neglect Chapel Services;
Attacks Morals
Especial Dispotch TO The Call

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. q
Is there complete indifference to
religion and absolute neglect of mat
ters spiritual at Stanford? Rev. D.
Charles Gardner, the university chap
lain, says there is, and he quotes fig
ures to back up his assertion. Ever
since the opening of college in August
he has taken every possible occasion
TO call the students to task for this
alleged Indifference, without sny
noticeable effect.
At the annual reception to the fresh
men given by the Y. NJ C. A. Septern-
Der 10, before 900 men and women. he
said that there were not a dozen men
in the university who were willing to
disturb their slumbers Sunday morn
ings to attend services, although most
OF them were less than 500 yards from
chapel He admitted that some of the
students attended churches of their
own denomination in Palo Alto, but
said that even that number was shame
fully small.
From religious conditions he switched
TO student morals, attacking the men
tai attitude of the men, the prevalence
OF tobacco chewing and smoking, the
use Of profanity, the telling of off-color
stories, and the mutiIation of the
Queens English" He said that most
of the men regarded their failure to
attend church as a proof of a knowledge
of the world, and that it fitted in well
with their half cynical attitude.
In his address to the men in EncfnaI
hall on Tuesday night he confined him
self to the religious condition at Stan
ford, saying:
University students are apt to
criticize and doubt religion, but the
greatest men in this country at
tend church services 1t is the
tendency here to laugh at the man
who attends church, yet P C. GIL
man. one of the most famous of
Stanford's graduates, never missed
a Sunday service while attending
the university.
This address called forth a protest
on the part of Harold G. Ferguson.

the issue of September % took the part
or the students, saying that the chap

ELECTION TROUBLES
FEARED IN CUBA
Campaign and Voting Without
American Supervision May
Be Turbulent

HAVANA, Oct. with the approach
of the elections on November 1. the
second held by the Cuban government
without American supervision, there
has been perceptible growing hope
that what remains of the campaign
and the electoral struggle itself may be
passed without serious disorders.
The first Cuban election, that of 1904.
at which President Estrada Palma was
elected for a second term, was con-
cededly carried by fraud
1t now remains to be seen whether
the administration of President Gomez
Is competent to guarantee the people
OF Cuba unimpeachable elections. That
he will make every effort to do so,
there Is no doubt, but it is questionable
whether II is possible to guard against
the results of the bitter factiona1 ami
mosities that are such a marked feature
of Cuban politics.
Most Of the candidates for the vari-
Gus offices have now been nominated
and in Havana alone there are no less
than five parties in the field.
