|DUNElLEnW WANTS TOGET
CLOSER AMBOY

Dunellen, May 22:-The question
Of building an extension of the trolley
from this place to Metuchen, where
1t would connect with the line to New
Brunswick, also to Staten Island, Is
being agitated by the Board Of Trade.
1t is not entirely a new subject, but
large property owners both here and
along the proposed route see that
such an improvement would mean g
big boom to property and would de-
velop a fine section Of the country.
The line proposed would run to
Newmarket, along the lake to South
Plain1eld and through private prop
erty to Metuohen, where it would
connect with the lines running to
Perth Amboy and New Brunswick.
On several occasions residents of
Plainfleld have endeavored to have a
trolley line built from that city
through Oak Tree to Metuchen. Eff
forts have also been made to get a
line extended that would take In
Dunellen, but the Public Service Cor
poration has lever appeared to be
anxious to build such lines. There
are some people who believe that In
the recent purchase of the Plainfeld
Driving Park by Minton Mendel the
trolley will soon be a reality. 1t Is
the only thing lacking to rapidly de-
velop that section. A trolley between
either this place or Plainfield with
South Plainfeld would make the
Lehigh Valley railroad more of a
rival with the New Jersey Central.

EXAMINATIONS
WILL Be EASY
Civil Service Test fer
Election Officers.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, May 22:-Gardner Colby,
secretary of the Civil Service Commits
sion, is doing his utmost to disabuse
the minds of many citizens that the ex-
aminations for election officers will be
severe. The impression seems to have
gotten abroad that one must possess
qualifications for the election officers
berth. Such, however, is not the case.
The examination is really simple, only
the rudiments of the "three RS" be-
ing required, and the test to determine
that the applicant Is not color blind.
Some excellent work is being done
by the Woodrow Wilson Democratic
League to get voters interested in the
selection Of the election officers, and In
inducing men of splendid attachments
to consent TO serve in that capacity. AS
q result of the work that has already
been done by this organization it is
expected that the election of officers,
who will represent the Democratic par
ty in Essex county next fall, will be
men well qualified for the work.

matter to the state. and the results
will be grave for the public.
The questions Of old age pensions,
the deiimitation of the champagne dis
trict and the Moroccan imbroglio all
REQUIRE the In the chamber
of the premier, and for the time being
all are to be held up.
Jean Cruppi. the minister of foreign
affairs, has been appointed minister
of war pro TEN.
Fatality seems to be linked with
Paris to Madrid contests. In the au-
tomobile race In 1903 so many persons
had been killed before the racer had
reached Bordeaux that the race was
called off, and there has been none
since. lie Journals All Europe race
Is scheduled for next week, and the
Petit Journal has arranged for a race
from Paris to Rome for the middle of
June. 1t is possible that both Of the
events will be declared off.
Henry Maurice Berteau1, socialist
millionaire, was looked upon by those
who followed the intricacies of French
politics as one of the four strong men
In the cabinet of Premier Monis.
In the days following the fall OF
BRAND, when Monls was riding furi-
ously around Paris in his automobile
In search of new members for his
cabinet, B~erteaux was the man that
he at once thought of as a satisfactory
H. IoI -lNn~y nf
money, some experience with the du-
ties at the wal Office and extremely
democratic views of government.
Berteaux was appointed On March 2 Of
this year.
He was born on June 8, 1852, in
st. Les Posses. By profession he
was an agent de charge, or an official
~stockbroker, dependent upon govern
ment sanction for his business exist
ence. The man acquired q fortune
on the bourse. With a full pocket
book and very radical socialist ideas
St38 came to sit in the chamber OF
deputies as q representative OF Yer
sailles In that body in 1893 as d mem
Der Of the Republicans,
Berteaux always had an interest In
military affairs and In 1902 he headed
the committee from the chamber of
deputies that presented the war bud
get. On Nov. is, 1909, in the Combes
ministry, General Andre resigned his
portfolio amid considerable uproar in
the chamber of deputies, which had
been attacking his administration
f1ercely, and the office of minister of
war came to the s~tockbroker.
This appointment was received with
no especial enthusiasm among the
people at large. They wanted to see a
fighter by occupation rather than by
preference at the head of their army,
and, furthermore, one of their tradi-
tions-namely, that a military man
should be minister of war-was broken
by Berteaux's appointment.

IT KILLS RULE
OF THE BOSSES
Governor Wilson Discusses
Commission Government.

Seattle, Wash, May Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson Of New Jersey In ev-
cry address made during his visit here
has discussed the commission form of
government in cities.
mo single movement Of reform in
governmental methods has been
moro significant than the rapid adop-
ton OF the so called commission form
Of government in the cities Of the
country" be said In one speech. "The
rapid spread of this reform has been
extraordinary.
For one thing, the most eonspicu-
GUS feature of the new form Of city
government negatives the greater pare
Of our practice hitherto In trying to
establish popular control. Until we
began this new movement Of recon-
struction In city government it was
the commonly accepted doctrine In
America that the way to make the
people supreme was to make every of
fee elective, was to have as few ap-
pointive officers as possible and to put
every choice for office, whether the Of
fee were great or small, in the hands
Of the people. We % see that that
was exactly the way In which not to
make popular control effective.
1.-THE very fact that they are almost
everywhere adopting the commission
form of government for their cities
shows that the people have at last dis
covered this fundamental thing. The
central feature of the commission
form Of government is the very short
ballot used In municipal elections, a
ballot containing not more than five
or six names, the names Of the com
m~1ssioners, five or six men the people
can watch and hold responsible. More
than five or six would escape their
notice and would constitute a crowd
which they could not follow with their
applause or their eensure."

PLENTY OF FUN AT
EXPRESS GOODS SALE

Nearly a hundred people attended
the public sale of 500 unclaimed
United States Express bundles Satur-
day afternoon and evening at 1877
Smith street. Although the sale
started at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
it was after 10 o'clock when the last
article was knocked down to the
highest bidder.
Many persons received bargains,
while others, sad to say, were less
fortunate and paid good round sums
for articles of small worth. Yet with
all the lemons handed out, the
crowd was good natured and laughed
with glne when a "prize" package
failed to materialize.
1t Is the first sale of its kind the
United States Express Company has
ever held here. 1t follows a similar
sale held two weeks ago by the
Adams Express Company, at which
1000 articles were disposed of.

ON
GOLDEN AGE"
Many Hear E. W. Brsnnsisen
at Prscter's Yesterday

The free Bible lecture in the Proc
tors Theatre yesterday afternoon
was well attended. For almost two
! hours the General Secretary of the
International Bible Students Asso-
citation held his audience In rapt at
tention while he pictured forth the
good tidings in store for the entire
human face in 'The Golden Age"
e. w. B%renneisen set forth from the
Bible the necessity of studying the
Scriptures Systematically, quoting
from st. Paul's words to Timothy,
Study to show thyself approved I'M
to God, a workman that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of TRUTH" the speaker, with
the aid of a large colored chart, DEM
onstrated the different ages and dis
pensations in the worlds history. He
showed forth how God has not been
trying to save the world" but that
he has in the past and up to the pre-
sent time merely selecting a special
class which will be used In The
Golden Age for the blessing, uplift-
ing and giving life to all of humani-
'ty. He claimed that the words Of
the Lord Jesus Christ, as recorded
in John $3.50, to be literally full
filled, "The hour is coming in the
which all that are In the graves
shall hear his voice and shall come
FORTH they that have done good I'M
to the resurrection Of life, and they
that have done Ill unto a resurrec-
ton by judgment"
He stated that those who were
now of the called class, the elect, the
saints, would judge or bless the bal
ance Of the world of mankind as
they come forth. He quoted as
authority 1 Corinthians SO, "Do ye
not know that the saints shall judge
the world" He suggested that this
Judgment would give an opportunity
for eternal salvation to all who
would be properly exercised thereby
tben,-fWhen the times Of refresh
ing shall come = the times Of
restitution Of all things - every
soul, which will not hear that pro-
and the Church his body shall be
destroyed from amongst the people"
(Acts 3:19-23). This being "the
second death" of the Bible, from
which there will be no further hope
OF a resurrection the final destruc-
ton of all the willfully wicked,-for
All the wicked will God destroy"
(Psa1ms 145:20).
Mr.. Brenneisen showed remarka-
BILE familiarity with the Scriptures,
and very entertainingly presented
matters which ordinarily seem
rather dry. This Is evidenced by the
fact that all remained and listened
to him to the conclusion. The mu-
sic was also enjoyed by all present.
Mr.. Brenneigen is to continue this
series of free Bible lectures on next
Sunday afternoon in the Nose Hall,
81 Smith street, at three o'clock.
He announced that, as usual, admts-
sion will be free and n collection
will be lifted. .-,gJ

Woodbridge, May 22.-Several
members of the Colonia Golf Club,
the Woodbridge Township Commit
tee, and two Pennsylvania railroad
officials met Saturday afternoon In
the spacious club house of the Golf
Club and discussed ways and means
whereby the railroad can lay two
additional tracks through the town
ship, on Middlesex avenue, IN keep
ing with the proposed plan of a six
track system between New York
and Philadelphia.
Members of the township commit
tee stated they were willing to give
Middlesex avenue, which has a
width of 40 feet, to the corporation
providing a road of similar size and
construction is built adjoining the
present road. To this the railroad
officials seem to agree, in as much
as they now own sufficient property
slong the road In question to meet
the demands of the committee. The
Cclonia residents on Middlesex ave-
nue. said they will agree to the
change If the new road is placed in
good condition.
But the township committee wants

now work from six o'clock in the
morning until ten O'Clock at night,
with no shift. For the remainder of
the night the gates are unguarded.
Extra gatemen is another expressed
want of the township. For two
years the local officials have clam
ored for these improvements.
On June 1 the Township commit
tee holds a regular meeting at which
time the railroad may submit a for
NAL proposition. No mention was
made during Saturdays meeting oil
the complicated road question.
