TREE 3D., NOT P. s.,
TO PAY FOR PARK GLIMS.

The much-disputed question as to
who shall pay for the cables n stand
ards for the lighting in Washington
Park, the city or the Public Service,
was settled today at a conference be-
tween City Counsel Nugent, Auditor
James A. Rove, Carl Bannwart, secre-
tary of the Shade Tree Commission,
and Dudley Farrand and l.. D.. How
ard Gilmour, of the Public Service.
City Counsel Nugent decided that the
Shade Tree Commission must pay for
this work, and that only in cases of
street lighting must the company foot
the bill.
The Shade Tree Commission is anx
ious to have the park we'll lighted, and
sometime ago ordered the necessary
standards and cables, amounting to
something short of a thousand dollars.
The auditor refused to o.. K. the bill,
saying that the lighting company
should pay for this material. He
claimed that since they do it in the
streets they ought to do it in parks.
The company held otherwise and the
question vas finally settled today. 1t
is now necessary for the Shade Tree
Commission to order a new lot of
standards and cables because the first
order was returned.

band swore, but she also engaged the
principal of the Stamford school to
educate the woodsman, and sought to
prevail upon her husband to provide
funds for a trip of the guide to Europe
that he might become polished enough
to travel in their society.

for Mrs. Ferguson. gave the wealthy
plaintiff a bad two hours grilling, and

that he was moved to seek the shat
tering of his marital shackles that he
might be free to seek the hand of an
other woman. Her identity was dis

Convention Plans to Secure
Amendment of Weight and
Measure Laws.

One of the principal matters OF inter-
ast IA housewives to be taken up by
the New Jersey Sealers' Association
which opened a convention here IN the
City Hall today, will be the planning
of a fight to have State laws n city
ordinances changed so that they VIII
conform and facilitate the work of the
sealers in stamping out false weights
The sealers maintain that they are
greatly handicapped now by the laws
and ordinances conflicting.
Mayor Haussling made the Welcoln-
ing address to the delegates.
Among those present is DR.. l.. A.
Fisher. assistant director of the bureau
of standards, of Washington, ID. Z.
New York is represented by Fritz
Reichman, head of the State depart
ment, and New York city by John j..
Walsh, superintendent, and his as
sistant, Frederick H. Tighe. There are
also Thomas F. Egan, State superin-
tendent of Connecticut; D. c. Palmer,
superintendent of the Massachusetts
department. New Jersey is represented
by thirty-seven officials from as many

John Fl. Sullivan. head of the Ne W
ark department, and who is also re-
cording secretary of the State organi-

measures.
Mr.. Waldron, accompanied by James
Mulhearn, heao of the Mercer county

were among the first of the guests to
arrive at the City Hall, and were deep
ly impressed with the work accom-
plished by the local officials in prevent
ing short weight and measure frauds
in Newark. Mr.. Waldron said he was
delighted to be present, as it gave him
an opportunity to get personally &C
uuainted with all of the weights and
measures officials of the State, so that
better results might be obtained in
correcting abuses attempted BY some
storekeepers.
The convention is held in the Com
mon Council chamber, where are also
shown weighing devices and kindred
exhibits which, 1t is claimed, preclude
the possibility of tampering with scales.
Mr.. Sullivan. with his assistant, Pat
rick j. Caufield, have arranged a ban
quet for the visitors at Hotel Navarro
late this afternoon, and tomorrow the
delegates will visit Centre Market to
inspect scales and measures. A repre-
sentative of the National Bureau of

ton of testing a wagon scale such as
is in use in Centre Market.

MOROCCAN CRISIS NEAR END
BrItons Believe Germany, Having
Made Her Bluff, Is Now Pre-
pairing to Withdraw.

London.-The Moroccan crisis is
practically ended At least this is the
opinion of the English public, al
though the foreign office is careful to
point out that the negotiations are not
simple and may drag on for months
Germany, according to the English
view, has made bluff, which is being
promptly called, and she is now pre-
pairing to withdraw.
In discussing the crisis, however,
even serious-minded Britishers are in
variably of the opinion that 1t would
be far better for England If war with
Germany should come now than later,
as seems probable, when the German
navy will have been strengthened.
They also feel England would bet
ter come to blows with Germany over
Morocco, or some question in which
France is directly interested, than on
a question in which England and Ger
many only are concerned. In the for
mer case England would be assured
Of the assistance of France. while in
the latter France might without dis
honor offer sympathy but stand aside
when IT came to fight
