ATLANTIC CITY. March 24.-What
seems to be a clear case of handling
money on election day seems to have
been made out by the Assembly in
v~eetigation committee against George
C. Amole. a clerk in the city comp
troller's Office.
Recently Stanley Williams, who WE ]
in the employ of Thomas McDevitt, a
merchant, said that Amole was In a
back room of the store and paid out
money to two or three hundred colored
men. He said the men would come in
the back way. present slips and get
their money from Amole.
This morning Williams and Amole
were called before the committee, and
Williams identified Amole as the young
man he had seen paying out the Money
in McDevitt's store.
Amole was put on the stand and he
denied that he had eve paid out
money in the McDevitt or any other
place. He said that on election day
ne had been in another part of the
city. where he was engaged In getting
out tardy voters. He testified that he
had not heard Of the accusation against
him at all, although he had read in
papers here that Williams had accused
some clerk of the comptroller's office OF
paying money.
Immediately. following Amole, Her
bert Day was called. Day was also
formerly employed by McDevitt. He
seemed rather reluctant toA give his
testimony, but finally said hat in 1899
Arnole had paid out money to voters in
the back part of the store. Day him
self and a colored man stood guard at
the gate of the alley leading to the
back of the store, and had orders To
allow nobody to enter except those
who carried certain slips of paper
which had been punched. He said lie
had seen Amole pay a number of men
at hat time.
The committee has thus far taken no
action against Amole. but he may be
arrested on a charge of perjury.
According to- the testimony of Frank
Pullman, a colored nan named Lati-
mer. on the evening Of election day,
told him he had voted in almost every
precinct of the city. Pullman knew
that he voted at least seven times, be-
cause he followed him when he started
in at the First Precinct of the Third
ward and followed him until he had
voted in the entire seven precincts Of
that ward. Latimer told Pullman that

The secret of my ambition to be d
membe of the board" says Mrs. Louis
d1nrichs, the first woman ever elected
TO the Glen Ridge Board of Educa-
ton, was that I wanted the politics
or the board to be Influenced by a
omar point of view. There are two
pom, of view about everything. a,
mans and a woman's. And what I
consider the ideal arrangement Is to
nave notn OF them represented in an
important body like a board of educa-
ton.
There are two sides to the work of
the Board of Education, one of them
business and the other educational.
Naturally men have had training

are fitted as well, If not better. to

That is for the new president to decide.
Whatever committees 1 am appointed

Is impossible for the gentlemen on the

Rates Come Down.
A Day Letter Rate viii Be Put
in Force by the Western
Union on March 1.

"A DAY letter. a companion SCI
vice to the night letter, which
sprang into popularity recent!
when it was inaugurated by boil
the leading telegraph companies
is to be commenced March By
the Western Union Telegraph
company. The rates will be ont
and a half times the night letter
rate for fifty words, and a charge
of one-fifth of the initial night
letter rate will be made for each
multiple of ten words or fraction
thereof in excess of the fifty
w0rdr.
For example, the night letter
rate to Chicago for fifty words is
fifty cents. The new day letter
rate will be seventy-fve cents
for fifty words, and for each ad-
ditional ten words or fraction of
ten words an additional charge
of ten cents or one-fifth of the
ffty-cent rate, will be charged.
The day letter service is in
tended to afford a cheaper means
Of quick telegraphic communica-
ton in cases where the night let
ter is not practical. Day letters
are to be handled in the same
manner as regular day messages,
except that they will subordinate
the latter in order of transmission
and delivery.
The night letter rate was es-
tablished March 1, 1910, just a
year ago, and found great favor
with the public. In fact the let
tergram business has just about
put the red" message, as the
former night message was
termed, out of business. People
will not pay for ten-word night
message at a higher price than
is paid for a fifty-word message
that will be delivered just as
quickly, and in which they can
tell so much more. It is expect
ed that the new day lettergram
will be received with nearly as
much enthusiasm as the former
night letter was accorded.
In speaking of the new service
Friday Manager W. C. Carswell,
of the Office of the Western Union,
said: While day letters will be |
secondary to the regular day
in their order of trans
mission and delivery, ! believe
that prompt service can be ex-
pected. Every effort will be
made by the telegraph company
to make this new service useful
and attractive to the people.
Day letters must be written in
plain English, code words being
barred"
The following explanation. of
the failure of the Postal Tele-
graph company to put into effect
a day letter rate was sent out
over the system from the Office of
the president, Clarence H. Mack
ay, at New York Friday after
noon:

vice that there is no occasion for
any deferred service. Besides
this we are not a deferred COM
pany. We rush our traffic through

1tes from the time II is handed
10 us.
I'VE do not believe the public
mas any use for a deferred day
service because the present day
service and night lettergram ser
vice seem to be amply sufficient,
and we do not think there is
any demand for an intermediate
which would be no diff
ferent from the night lettergram
service in its practical workings.
"A deferred day service would
get mixed with our regular day
service and would hamper and
ielay it. Fast service is what

Society For The Protection
OF Criminals

We have societies for the protec-
ton of almost everything why not
a society for the protection of Grim
mails?
Better jails are demanded. It is
very unpleasant for any self respect
ing criminal, especially when he has
been brought up in refined surround
.ings, which is not infrequently the
case, to have to eat course food and
associate with vulgar people.
Our methods Of investigating
criminals, with a view to ascertain
ing their guilt. are by no means
perfect.
Any one with money is likely to
be brought into court at any time,
and rndely questioned by an unfeel-
ing judge. 81
It is true that if a very large
amount IS involved, one is treated
with certain consideration; but
this it not what it ought to be.
As the case stands at present, no
great criminal is really safe from an
noyance. His picture may be pub
lished in the papers, editorials reflect
ing upon his charactermay be print
ed at any moment, and he may have
to put up large amount of bail.
This is often inconvenient, especial
" when ones money is tied up in
Wall Street.

criminal ought to be protected from

The Face For Naval supremacy
By II. J. B

Every month we hear of some
new development in naval circles.
Each nation trying to out-do the
other in the way of ships and guns.
The United States are going to
construct battleship, which is to
be the most powerful in the world,
and is to cost from six to eight mill
lion dollars. This ship will have
new features based on the expert
ence gained by the bombardment of
the old Texas, and will contain four
turrets, each carrying three fourteen
inch guns, firing a ] 500 pound pro-
jectile. The broadside from this
leyithan will weigh $4,000 pounds.
The armor plate covering the turrets
is to be sixteen inches thick, while
the sides are to be protected with
steel plates fourteen inches thick.
The English have new gun 1875
inches in diameter. length 45 cali
bres;.this monster piece of ordinance
can pierce any arlnor and nothing
can withstand it at a six mile range.
The weight OF the projectile is {
$50 pounds. It seems useless
struggle; first one power invents an
inyincible armor plated battIeship,
while another comes along with a
gun that will pierce any armor.
In the event Of war it would be a
case Of Workmanship. England
and Germany are contemplating q
fifteen inch gum; plans have already
been prepared for ship carrying
these guns by England. and are
