EXEMPTS WILL
NOT Get $500

In view of an opinion handed
down by City Attorney G. G. HON.
mann, that the city has no right to
make appropriations for entertain
ing purposes, the Exempt Firemen's g
Association will not get $500 from
the city with which to entertain
the 500 delegates who will become
It's guests here on May 10, next.
The opinion may even be construed
to include flremen's parade and
thus prevent the Council from ap-
propriating any money for such a
purpose.
This action is deemed final and
there seems little need OF any furth-
er attempts being made for securing
money from the city with which to
carry out the plans for the exempt
firemen's convention here next May.
I It had been planned among some
of the aldermen to give money for
an exempt firemen's convention. safe
and sane Fourth of July celebration
and a fremen's parade II held ON
July 4. next. AS 1T is practically
impossible 10 change the date of the
convention and July 4 Is considered
the wrong time OF the year for a
firemen's parade, those ideas may be
abandoned.

GUARDING NEW
men AT PLAN I
Special Officers and Police
at Asphalt Works.

About seventy men, mostly Ital-
ians brought from New York to fill
positions left vacant by men who
quit work at the Barber asphalt
Paving Company's plant about a
week ago, are being guarded while
going to and from work at the plant.
The new men were put to work yes
terday. It is declared they sleep
in old buildings on the site of the
former Anderson & Lyle factory at
Maurer and are escorted by regular
and special policemen to and from
the shipping dock at the Barber
|Company's asphalt plant.
Patrolman John Dunham was on
duty at the works last night until
Il o'clock this morning. Special
Officers Conard and Underhill are
taking turns in giving police protec-
ton. Detective Sergeant John A.
HUFF was at the works from 4:40
to $40 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and PatroIman l.. G. Jensen was de-
tailed to the plant from 4.35 to
$500 O'Clock and later until o'clock
last night. No violence has as yet
been shown.
About seventy men formerly en-
ployed on the dock In the place OF
the new men, to unload asphalt
from steamers, quit work about a
week ago because they were dissat-
isfied with the winter rate of pay.
They had been given an increase
during the summer months, officials
Istate, and when change came No
vember i. they objected They later
walked out and most of them have
been paid off.

Win Discuss New Treaty.

Washington, Dec. 19.-It Is under
stood In official circles that the presi-
dents notification to the Russian gov
ernment to terminate the treaty of
1882. after the expiration of the re-
quired years notice, is TO be followed
Immediately by diplomatic discussion
looking toward the negotiation of a
new treaty.
Ii is regarded as even more certain,
however that the new treaty, II nego-
tiated. VIII not contain a provision for
abe reciprocal and Unrestricted admis-
sion by one government OF all citizens
OF the other. 1t is understood. on the
other hand. that though the new treaty
will make less broad the reciprocal
pledges of the two countries regarding
treatment TO be accorded each others
citizens the net result will be a con
siderable Improvement in the sItua.
tian now SO strenuousiy objected to by
American Jews
The solution OF the problem is exs
peeted by both governments to be
found IA u system whereby each gov-
ernment win admit citizens. OF the
other country youched for by the gov
eminent of that country. 1t has been
proposed that a plan similar to that by
which Japanese laborers are kept out
OF the United States will be adopted
The United States government does
not exclude japanese directly, but
through a solemn pledge by the mika-
do that he will not issue passports 10
any of his subjects to come to this
country except under certain prcscr.b-
ed conditions.
1t must be borne In mind constantly
that In treaty the language is iden-
tical for both countries and what one
is pledged TO the other is equally
bound to fulfill. AS the Russian gov
ernment has already reminded the
United States that the latter excludes
from this country millions of Russian
subjects who are either Mongolians or
poiygamous peoples like the Moham-
medans. this government cannot ask
the czar to let down all the bars reg
ulating administration of aliens to Rus
sia In the cases of American citizens.
1t may be accepted as a positive fact
that each government will insist on its
right to declare certain aliens ''unde-
sirabes.'
Russia also will insist on the reten-
tion OF the policy she has maintained
successfully for years of refusing to
recognize naturalized American Jews,
native TO Russia, as released from all
obligations to the cZar's government
through their American citizenship
This attitude. which the United States
does not attempt to oppose renders
Jews returning or desiring to return to
Russia MS liable to military service and
other obligations which. Russia holds,
nre never renounced by her citizens.
Assurances OF the willingness of the
Russian government to enter into dis
cussson looking toward new treaty
are understood to have been received

OBTAIN VIEWS
OF GOVERNOR
Favorable to Granting of
Riparian Rights of Street
Ends to City.
NEEDED FOR PROTECTION
Acting Mayor and City At
torney Confer With Chief
Executive at Trenton.

Governor Woodrow Wilson seems
agreeable to grant rights for ends
of streets in this city, and inasmuch
as the Board of Riparian Commits
siouers seem similarly inclined the
city may have the iong-desired
rights within a short time. Alder
man-at-large William D. Voorhees,,
Alderman f. A. Seaman and City
Attorney C. c. Hommann held a con
ference with the governor on the
Trenton yesterday afternoon.
For Future Protection.
The rights are desired by the city
to protect it in the future SO that
the ends of streets may be used FOR
docking facilities, etc. by the city
and not gobbled up by private inter
ests. City officials approached the
riparian commissioners on the SUBJ
ject some time ago and learned that
the commissioners were agreeable to
grant the rights desired by the city,
but inasmuch as the governor and
board worked In conjunction on such
matters, the consent of the states
chief executive was as essential as
that of .the board Now that the
practical consent of both parties has
been procured the subject will prob
ably be drawn to a close within a
comparatively short time
TO Keep Away from Others
The governor recognized the fact
as did the Riparian commissioners,
that the city is an agency of the
state. He therefore deemed 1t best
that the icty secure the rights to the
ends sof it's streets in preference to
any other interests. 1t is not likely
that the city will make use of the
grants Immediately after they have
been made. Acting Mayor Voorhees,
explained today that the rights were
simply wanted to protect the city
for the future

problem of getting their reports up to the

schools DR.. w. NJ. Davidson. holds forth.
The monthly reports were due and to get
in on the payroll, which was made ND
Saturday, It behooved the director generals
OF the different temples OF learning to get
the reports in.
Arriving at the city hall they found the
elevators enjoying a vacation A trip up

the principals in the least. The first one
on the scene was soon Joined by others
and plan OF campaign declared.
Nothing doing IN the walking line" was
the ultimatum flashed over the telephone
to the superintendents office If you
want these reports you will have to come
and get them"
The superintendent force was equal 10
the occasion, however. Securing a long
string 1t was dropped TO the first floor
and one at a time the reports were hauled
to the fifth floor. The plan worked
successfully" says the superintendent but
