TENER VETOES A COURT BILL.
Decides That Allegheny County Does
Not Need Five.

Harrisburg, Pa, June S.-The bill to
create a fifth court of common pleas
of Allegheny county was vetoed by
Governor Tener, his reason being that
there is no necessity for the court
since the act establishing the inter
mediate court had been signed.
Allegheny county has four common
pleas courts, and the additional court
has been sought for four years or
more on the ground that the conges-
ton of business demanded it.

Unarmed, he has Travelled from the

where six months ago he was a hunted
outlaw. Now he is the nations guest,
surrounded on all sides by shouting,
applauding MeXicans. He was escorted
under triumphant arches and shower,
ed with flowers and confetti as he
made his way from the station to the
national palace.
Many of the crowd had been stand
ing in line for hours. The train was
two hours late. The crowd displayed
the best of temper throughout the long
wait More than 500 young Maderistas
organized into bands of twenty were
stationed throughout the city with in
structions to preserve order and pre-
vent unruly demonstrations. The
street cars were suspended in the cen
ter of the city during the progress of
the demonstration. This was because
of the fact that Tuesday the windows
in many, of the cars were broken and
it was found impossible to keep any
sort of schedule.
Maderist organizers announced that
they would guarantee perfect order.
The newly appointed governor Of the
federal district issued a manifesto ad
vising the people that order depended

DISTRICT COURT TAX.
County Tax Eoard Makes aApport.on-

Justices of the peace of Morris
county have formed an Organization
and are making strong efforts to se-
cure the abolishment of the First Dis
trict court of Morristown on the
ground that it is an unnecessary ex-
pense to the taxpayers Of the county.
Friends of the court deny that the
court is burden upon the county
at large, quoting the law to the effect
that the cost of the court is levied
only upon the taxing districts within
its Jurisdiction.
The county tax board has issued
the apportionment of the 1920 to be
raised for the courts expenses as
follows. Chatham township, $33 !;
Norris township, s221; Chatham bor-
ough. $69; Florham Park, $76; Madi-
son, $2O4; Morristown. $591 All these
municipalities are within the juris-
diction of the court. The tax rate fol
the court is only .0005.

the court were agreed upon by the
people Of the district at a special
election and the residents of this sec
tien are wondering just what interest
other sections of the county shave in
the Morristovn court.
This is explained by the fact that
the court is given jurisdiction in all
landlord and tenant cases in the
county through an error when the
bill was passed. Three words were
left out and in consequence all these
cases must come to Morristown to be
tried instead of being heard by the
local justices of the peace as former
ly. This feature of the law is to be
brought to the attention of the Legis-
lature and the correction made.

DEMOCRATS MAKE CHANGES

Owing to the exigencies of politics
the county is about to loose the SER
vices of two faithful servants in the
persons of Mr.. and Mrs. William A.
Num-, steward and matron, respect
lively, of the Morris county aims
house. With the Democrats in con-
troll of the county affairs it was de-
cided to provide places for some of
the party's adherents. James Mona
han, a Morris Plains blacksmith, is
slated for the place now held by Mr..
Mum, SO goes the story.
The official axe has already fallen
at the court house and the official
head of William Mansfield, familiarly
known as "Nish,' has been decapi-
tated. Another man has been put in
his place to care for the boilers.
George Hill, the janitor, is to go
the first of the coming month, so

The Meeting of the TroIIeys.

The worshippers at the First Pres
byterian church will hail with gladnes
the completion of the trolley tracks
around the green. Last Sunday there
was almost continuous interruption to
the services because of the car run
ming to the station grinding around
the curve every fifteen minutes, sup
plemented periodically by the car
coming down the road to meet it, and
the noise and confusion incident TO
the transfer of passengers and the
starting back. However, it is ex-
pected to have the cars running
around the green in short time and
the noise then will be eliminated.

"As you know, L have had under
consideration for a month an in
yitation from the Second Presbyterian
church, of Philadelphia, to undertake
the work of the ministry there. The
Second church was founded by George
Whitefield in 1743, and has always had
a leading place alike in the city and
in our denominational life. Within
a few blocks of the church in various
colleges 10000 students are at work
Thorough and prayerful consideration
confirmed by the practically unan-
imous counsel of UNCONVENTIONAL
leaders and personal friends whose
judgment l have sought, has con-
vinced me that l ouuught to accept
this call. The one reason is that the
field of influence thus opened to me
is not only larger, but more difficult.
The problem of the central city
church in these strenuous days is a
most perplexing one 1t is increasing
ly difficult to man the great city pull
Pits; the church to which l am invited
has been vacant for three years. In
recent years my two dearest friends
men of about my own age-have
given their lives in the service. Were
l to follow my own inclination would
choose to spend my days in quieter
scenes. But with such an opportunity
and such a need as are now urged
upon me l feel that it would be the
shirking of duty to decline.
81 have not for a single day been
in Morristown. | never expect to
have happier ministry than | have
had here. | doubt if ever again
shal, have officers and people so
devotedly loyal, SO entirely free from
all suggestion of pettiness, so absolute
ly united, so deeply spiritual. With
such people seeking devoutly the
guidance of God, the future of this
church, now in splendid condition, is
assured. Under another leader, who
may we'll be far better adapted to the
varied work of the church than am,
you will go ON to still better things
in character and service. May God
guide you to him very quickly
"It is difficult, too, to think of leav-
ing the many friends in other
churches who have helped to make
our life here so happy. Morristown is
most fortunate in the fellowship of
its churches, and the group of min
listers with whom | have been priv
ileged to work illustrate in a degree
have never elsewhere known the
spirit of comradeship and cooperation
in Christian service.
IL can never adequately thank you
for your constant kindness in so many
ways to me and my dear ones. With
deepest gratitude and unchanging af-
fection we will always remember
you.
