WILSON ADVICE
TO THE LAWYERS
Tells the Attorneys They
Are too Technical.

Atlantic City, June 17:-Cheers
greeted Judge Howard Carrow's in
PRODUCTION of Governor Wilson as
"one of the foremost men of the
nation" at the annual banquet of
the New Jersey State Bar Association
last night. The lawyers rose to their
feet and Joined in the Princeton yell
as Governor Wilson got to his feet.
The most striking excerpts from
his address were:
at is true that the legal profession
as a profession does not enjoy the
care of the people. 1 am surprised,
and must say disappointed, that the
legal profession of this country has
not undergone the same change and
liberalizing that has characterized its
progress in other countries. You are
too. technical. You are specialists
along narrow lines. You are busi-
ness men on strictly legal lines.
"The community no longer regards
you as legal guides. You have with
drawn from craftsmanship and low
cred the profession to a strictly busi-
ness basis.
"The ambush of technicalities you
have drawn around the corporations
make 1t necessary to enact drastic
legislation to tear away the shell and
get at the heart.
"The profession in the foreign
countries has advanced ahead of you
because they have simplified, torn
away the covering Of technicalities.
''If you want to restore your pro-
fession to the care of the people, you
can do 1t in single year by follow
ing the method of simplicity, the
change can be wrought, but If 1t is
wrought without your support and
assistance. 1t will be wrought to your
disadvantage"

STREET
SITE FAVORED
Playground Commission
Practically Decide to Use
1t for Recreation Spot.
SETTLE MATTEH MONDAY
Copper Works and Pardee
Tracts Not Central Enough
Is Their Claim.

The Playground Commission has
practically decided to open the city's
first public playground on a tract of
land at the northeast corner of Mad
ison avenue and Lewis street, should
the use of it be procurable for little.
or no charge. This became known
at short meeting of the commission
at $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Among other properties that i'm
pressed the commissioners favorably
were the Raritan Copper Works
tract, the G. Pardee land, together
with other tracts in the western part
Of the city, but 1t has been decided
to secure a place as near central as
possible. The Madison avenue and
Lewis street tract seems to answer
the purpose in practically every way
and for that reason every effort will
be made to secure the use of it.
VIII Ask For Permission.
President O. G. Baldwin, of the
commission, said he would confer
with Fraser Brothers, local agents
for the property, in an effort to
learn OF the address of the owners,
upon the securing of which Commits
sioner George F. Reynolds will go
to Newark to confer with a represen-
tative OF the person In charge of it.
The latter is understood to be a wo-
man now In Europe. 1t appears the
property Is tied up in litigation
among several heirs and for that
reason may be used Indefinitely as
playground free of charge to the
city. The commission will meet
again Monday afternoon at $50
O'Clock to receive report on this
matter.
Should it be impossible to secure
the land in question, the commission
may not take up the copper works
field or c. Pardee tract because of
their location. They are not as near
central as the commissioners would
like. 1t is probable the commission
Will In that event use some school
property.
Site Not Central Enough.
The Raritan Copper Works and C.
Pardee tracts are procurable for
playground purposes without charge,
1t is understood. The commission
ers think their location is too dis
tant for most of the small hcildren
that would patronize a playground.

EZRA T. SWEET HAS
SECURED NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Grants Application
Certain Testimony Held Illegal Un-
der Indictment Likely to Co Free.
REVERSE JUDGE LYON' SSEATENCE

raided, 20 be illegal, because it vas
mere conversation which Sweet was hot
on hand TO hear. This testimony was
brought out when detectives from the
Drumomnd Detective Agency, who had
secured evidence against Sweet, were
on the stand. They told Of drinking
with girls there and Of being informed
that the girls secured a rake off - on
the drinks they helped to sell.
Not In the Indictment.
The indictment against Sweet rem
dered by the April term grand jury,
Of 1910, provides for no charge OF
gambling. 1t holds that "Sweet, un-
lawfully did keep and maintain GER
tain, common, iu-governed and disor-
derly house, and in the said house, for
his own luere and gain, certain per-
sons, as well as women, of evil name
and fame and of dishonest conversation
then and there unlawfully and wilfully
did cause and procure to frequent and
come together and the said men and
women, in the said house Of him, the
said Ezra Sweet, at unlawful times, as
well in the night as in the day, and on
the said days and times, there to be
and remain, drinking, tipping, fight
ing, cursing, swearing quarreling,
whoring and otherwise misbehaving
themselves unlawfully.'
Thus the Indictment fails TO provide
for a charge Of gambling and in the
evidence that followed in the trial it
was not proved that Sweet kept girls
at his place for other purposes than to
act and sing on the stage of his music
hall.
The trial was started July II and
sentence was imposed July % after
which Joseph E. StEcker took out a
writ of error and the case was then
brought before the supreme court.

ConteHding it was Illegal to admit
certain testimony under the Indictment
Of Ezra 7. Sweet, the New Jersey su-
preme court has rendered a reversal in
his case and provided for a new trial
As this, the highest tribunal in the
state, adjudges the main portion Of the
evidence under which Sweet was in
dicted TO be illegal under the form Of
the Indictment, there is said to be prac-
tically nothing left to hold the accused
man under and it is generally believed
that he viii 20 free. This is a huge
victory for the defense, but was not
unexpected. Despite the fact that JOS
.eph E. Strieker, who together with
George S. Silzer, defended Sweet, has
not committed himself on the subject,
he declared to-day it had been his con
tention from the trial up to the pres
ent time that the case would pursue
the course it did.
Sentenced to Two Years
Sweet was sentenced by Judge Adrian
Lyon to serve two years in state prison
and pay the cost Of his trial for the al
legged keeping Of a disorderly house and
the alleged harboring of gambling
games at his hotel, 152 New Brunswick
avenue. In passing upon the case the
supreme court granted a new trial on
the grounds "that it was illegal to ad-
nit the testimony Of the detective in
which he testified that the girls told
how the house was rum and "that it
was absolutely illegal for the Judge
to admit testimony about gambling. -
In the trial to come, should there be
one, this testimony will be omitted
leaving practically nothing to hold
Sweet under.
The supreme court holds testimony
about girls drinking with men in
Sweet s place, prior to the time it was

The Income Tax Law.

Here are some of the things to be cor
sldered anent the Wisconsin Income Ia,
Law.
Under the income tax law there shall
be assessed, levied and collected paid
tax upon income received during the
year ending Dec. 81, 1911, and upon in.
creases received annually thereafter by
such persons and from such sources as
hereinafter described. The incomes
taxable include:
1st. All rent of real estate, including
the estimated rental of residence proper
ty occupied by the owner.
2nd. All interest derived by notes.
mortgages, DO Ids aud other evidences of
debt or money loaned.
3rd. All salaries or fees derived from
services, etc.
4th. All dividends or profits derived
from stock, or from purchase and sale of
any property or other valuables acquired
within three years previous, or from any
business whatever.
From these come certain exemptions,
as stocks and bonds of corporations pay
tax direct to the state, or where the cor
poration pays an income tax.
Exemptions allowed from net incomes
$500 for single persons, $500 for man
and wife and 500 for each child under
Is. Earnings in family counted in
making amount. From the income tax
is offset any personal property tax paid.
From the above it is evident that
every person will be required to keep a
book account Of his receipts and expend-
itures.
Anyone that the collectors of incomes
may deem having an assessable income
is required to make statement showing
all his incomes and payments. 1t is
time how for everyone to prepare for the
inquisitOrs that will soon be about.

Eleven O'Clock Ordinance
Defeated

Tuesday evening the proposed eleven
o'clock p. IN. ordinance was considered
and defeated by vote of to 6. The
aldermen voting for the ordinance which
was favored by at least 50 per cent of
the people of Watcrtown and who repre-
sented their constituents and not the
saloons, were:
Alderman Humphrey
Alderman Kohn
Alderman Ryan
Alderman Scheblak
Alderman Tetzlaff
Alderman Werner
AbSent-Aldermen Hahn and Feisst.
Those voting against the proposed or
dlnance and in the interest of one of the
greatest evils in the city-the all night
saloons, were:
Alderman Kalina
Alderman Kehr
Alderman Klemann
Alderman Lutovskey
Alderman Nienow
Alderman Russell
Those who believe in the regulation of
the SALOONS and in civic morality and
decency nights, should retain a copy of
the names Of those who voted against
the ordinance and relegate them to pri-
vate life at the first opportunity, for they
do not represent the moral sentiment of
the people of this city,
Aud it is time that good people awoke
to the fact that three or four saloons and
the brewery run the city, and at the
next municipal election select men to
run its municip,i affairs who stand for
the best morally and financially.
