1t is no hard task for a layman OF
ordinary intelligence to tell within
the span of a speech whether or not
the well spring Of the eloquence is in
the heart. Voice and manner betray
the hypocrite, though the words
themselves are a fair mask for the lie.
The speech reads well in the Con
gressional Record and in the other
public PRINTS. The constituents find
sincerity in the written words, but
the listeners have caught the false
notes in every sentence Of the
tongues utterance.

There were Republican representa-

to speak their minds on the subject

wanted to say would have been un

the party members. Loyalty to party

no one, perhaps, blames them for

Grasshoppers never ave tuberculosis
because their blood contains only white
corpuscles.
Second, experiments showed that in
a high altitude. where the percentage
of oxygen per cubic inch is much less,
the lungs develop the power of ac-
tually secreting oxygen from the air.
AT sea level the oxygen is absorbed
with little effort; much Is not absorbed
AT all.

degenerating through lack of exercise.
Again, there is a corresponding in
crease in the number of red corpuscles
in a high altitude. The blood is thus
enriched in its two most important
constituents.

scientists was the so-called mountain

DECLARES NO FEE
IS REQUIRED FOR
ARMORY PERMIT
E. Orange Counsel Rules Build
ing Department Shouldn't
Hold Up Matter.

That the State or architect of the
new armory for Field Battery A, of
East Orange. does not have TO pay for
a permit from the building depart
ment. and that Building Inspec-
tor John G.. Scott cannot further hold
up the permit, was the opinion rem
dered today to Mr.. Scott by Edward
O Stanley, jr.. acting city counsel of
East Orange,
Because of an ordinance stating that
all persons must taxi out a permit be-
fore erecting any building in the city.
Mr.. Scott held back a permit for the
$9i 900 armory until a fee of $95 was
presented.
Mr.. Stanley says bis opinion is based
upon a consideration of the character
ard relations of the governments in
volved and upon an examination of
legislation applicable to the subject.
In his opinion Mr.. Stanley says:
THE armory is being erected under
a contract in which the State is one
party ard its erection is specifically
ordered and authorized by chapter pa
or the laws of 1909. which statute spe-
c~ifcally and solely covers the cree
ton of an armory in East Orange.
The authority to enact section 4 of
the building code Is specifically granted
to the city in its charter. chapter $50
L. L., 1908.
IF the ordinance may be enforced
upon ~non-payment OF the fee. the city
can prohibit the erection Of the ar
mory. as section 4 requires the obtain
ing of a permit and payment of the fee
before the erection of the building is
commenced. But its erection is speci-
fcally ordered in the laws of 1909 and
under the rule of construction that a
statute covering the subject matter
generally must yield to a specific en-
actn1ent Upon the same head. which
will be regarded In the nature of an
exception thereto, sthe statute of 1909
must be held to remove the lower of
the city to enforce this ordinance so
far as such enforcement extends to
prohibiting the erection of the armory
building. This constructive is still
more necessary in this case where the
specific statute is later in time than
the general, and nay be held to have
repealed it to that extent"

FIRE IN SCHOOL
Second Bolt Hits Pipe and
Water Flows Out to
Flames.

Lightning played strange pranks in
West Orange by causing a blaze n the
High School, and while the flames were
beginning to spread in the building an
other bolt hit a water pipe M saved
the fire department a call. The janitor
of the school had occasion to go into
the basement of the school, and found
that a large hole was rent in the
flooring and just above it the water
pipe was found to have been struck,
causing a leak.
1t is thought that when the wood
work caught fire water from the hole
in the pipe polred on 1t.
Members of the Board of Education
were notified of the incident, and they
visited the school and agreed with tn .
janitor that the blaze was put out by
the water leaking from the pipe.

F|ANCEE Of
MURDER SUSPECT
TO Be ARRESTED
BeIlevilIe Police Believe That
She Knows Whereabouts
of Fugitive.

Thinking that she may have some
knowledge of the whereabouts of her
prospective husband, who is an al
legged murderer, the Belleville police
Rave decided to arrest Miss Josephine
Tommerlo, "a years old, of North Bel
mont avenue. in the Silver Lake sec
tien of Belleville.
She is the iancc of Peter Cofone,
who, the police say. inflicted injuries
upon Michael Simone last Saturday
night in Silver Lake which resulted in
his death.
Chief Michael Flynn and Patrolman
Louis Bonnello, of the Belleville force
today started out to apprehend the
Tommerio woman, and they expect to
lock her up in the Belleville police sta
ton and to hold her as a material wit
hess. Miss Tommerio was to be mar
rIed to cofone next month In Silver
Lake.
Last Saturday night at the Belmont
avenue address Cofone was calling
upon his sweetheart. Miss Tommerio,
when Simone called and started to
play an accordion. 1t is charged that
he and Cofone engaged in an argument
and that Cofone hit Simone with a
club.
