ON
TRIAL IN CAMDEN
ELECTION FRAUDS
D. j. Woods Charged With Con-
spring to Have Illegal
Vote Cast.
Especial to the Newark start

CAMDEN, April 12.-Another of the
Camden election fraud cases will be
disposed of in the Camden Criminal
Court today, when Daniel J.. Woods. a
saloonkeeper of West and Clinton
streets, president of the Camden Aeria.
Fraternal order of Eagles, and prom
inent in local politics as a Republican
worker, will be tried for c~onspiring 20
have an illegal vote cast at the election
last fall.
Charles B. Crane, a Third ward judge
of election, and Martin V. Carrigan, a
city Greman, who were indicted in con-
nection with Woods, pleaded non vult
on February 27.
Attempted Fraud Was Bold.
The attempted fraud in which these
men were concerned was one of the
boldest brought to light by the investi-
cation of a special committee of the
Camden Bar Association to put a stop
to corrupt ~practises at h polls in that
city. 1t is charged that there was a
conspiracy between Woods, Carrigan
and Joseph Sparks, with the object OF
having Crane cast an Illegal vote, i'm
p~erscnating a brother of Carrigan, at
the fifth district polling place in the
Fourth ward, and that Crane, abandon
ing his post as a membe of an cleo
ton board in the Third ward, went over
into the Fourth ward and attempted to
vote. He was recognized. however. and
his vote was refused. Crane is said to
have confessed his part in the con-
spiracy to the lawyers committee, i'm
plicating Woods.
Woods Once Convicted.
The State will attempt to get on the
record, it is reported, the fact that
Woods was once convicted of violating
the excise law and that, as president OF
the Eagles, he was fined at a recent
term of court for permitting a lewd
and an indecent exhibition at a smoker
given in the Eagles building. He will
be defended by the same array Of
counsel who have tried to save the
other defendants who have beer
brought beforeJudge Joline, with the
exception of Policeman Samuel Flick
who was acquitted of perjury.
These lawyers are former Attorney.
General Robert II. McCarter, Harry G
Kramer and Albert S. Woodruff
Woods will be tried by a jury selected
from special panel No. 3, composed Of
some of the leading citizens of Cam
den. The indictments against JOSEPH
Sparks and Policeman Harry STOW
will be tried next Monday.

let the solution touch the
leaves, as it might be too
strong.
Many bulbs can be raised in
water Bowls and ayacinth
glasses may be used in which
to raise them. Pebbles and
charcoal should be put in the
bowl to support the bulb, and
the bowl should be filled to the
base of the bulb with warm,
soft water, and then placed in n
dry, dark, rat-proof closet until
the roots have made a big
growth. If the water in the
glass becomes foul or diminish
ed replace it with tepid water.
When well started the bulbs
should be brought gradually to
the direct sunlight, where they
should have plenty of fresh air
without being in a draught.

Demands for
ChristianUnion

by Blsnor WAnHEN 4. CANDLrR)
In these days all sorts of in.
ter-denominational meetings
and conventions we hear much
talk about Christian union. But
there is not in some quart
ers danger of making too lit
tie of the real Christian unity
we have by extravagant de.
mands for a mere mechanical
union which we can mover have.
There is already a unity of
Christ's Church which does not
need to be sought after or pray
ed for, because it is already in
the world. 1t is far better and
nobler thing than that impossi-
BILE and undesirable organic
union of all Christian people in
one huge, obese. and apopletic
organization. But some who
never weary of calling for this
useless union seem to have no
scruples concerning the viola.

legend of Lost Opportunities

How many, in all climes and in
all ages, call sadly and regretfully
to mind the thousand golden oppor'
tunities forever lost. The lesson
is beautifully taught in the follow
ing Indian legend:
There was once a beautiful dam
sci upon whom one of the good
genii wished to bestow blessing.
He led her to the edge of a large
field of corn, where he said to her:
daughter, in the field before us
the ears of corn, in the hands of
those who pluck them in faith, shal.
have talismanlc virtues, and the
virtue shall be in proportion to the
size and beauty of the ear gathered
Thou shalt pass through the field
but once and pluck but one ear
1t must be taken as thou goest to-
ward, and thou shalt not stop In thy
path, nor shalt thou retrace a single
step in quest of thine object Be-
lect an ear full and fair, and accord
ing to its size and beauty shall be
its value to thee as a talisman."
The maiden thanked the goou
genii, and then set forward upon
her quest.
AS she advanced she saw many
ears of corn, ripe and beautiful
such as calm judgment might have
told h er would possess virtues
enough, but in her eagerness to
grasp the very best she left these
fair ears behind, hoping that she
might find one still fairer. AT
length, as the day was closing, she
reached part of the field where
the stalks were shorter and thinner,
and the ears were very small and
shriveled.
She now regretted the grand ears
she had left behind and disdalned
to pick from the poor show around
her, for here she found not an ear

Secretary HOdQeS May Sue

Secretary of State Earle w. Hold
ges stated yesterday that some of
the papers of the state had placed
him in a false attitude IN regard to
the sensational speech of Representa-
tive Little in the house the other
day, when 1t was charged that among
others the secretary Of the Senate
was allied with the liquor interests
which ii was alleged had control of
certain members of the Senate. In
the report sent out to the various
state papers the word secretary of
state" was used instead Of "secret-
tary of the senate" owing to what
the secretary of the state thought
was carelessness on the part Of the
telegraph operators in transmitting
the messages, which will probably
lead to civil suit later when it is
learned who is to blame for the err
