WAR SHOULD BE MADE FAIR
Writer Thinks Civilization Might In- vent Code Something Like That
 Of the Duelio.

War is now carried on in an un- civilized fashion. It is fought as if all participants were savages. What is politely called strategy is taking the enemy unawares and not giving him fair show. Formerly, when two men had quarrel, they settled their differences in the manner of modern warfare. But now, when even one man stabs another in the back, or men shoot each other at sight because of a grievance or an agreement that they are enemies, we justly say that they are uncivilized, and in the measure that they fall upon one another like wild beasts we declare that they render uncivilized the communities in which they live. On the other hand, where the code duello exists, and the civilization is of high order, there is court of honor to determine among gentle men of similar connections whether the challenge is justified or not, and something of the conditions under which the fight shall take place. Un- fair conditions are not allowed, sec- onds and an umpire are insisted upon, as we'll as the presence of sur geons, to prevent unnecessary loss of life. A duel, fought under the code, Is more civilized proceeding than "a Kentucky shooting. Could not civilization invent similar amenities for fight between nations p-Atlan- tic Monthly.

ODD BANQUET IN NEW YORK
Doctor EntertsiRs Seventy-five Formeri Patients to Celebrate Annlver-

'In New York, where a really so- ciable man can eat at reunions and club meetings three or four times day, the chance to get one more square meal should not attract atten- tion," said the city salesman, ''but I was invited to a dinner the other night that marked the birth of such g novel society that it is worth mak- ing note of.
 ''The invitation was issued by a kind of quack doctor, who cured me of an attack of rheumatism. The method of treatment was new and the doctors own invention.

high IN the air on a narrow scaffold
at Third and Spruce streets, Edgar
Shenk. a carpenter, was stricken sud

and cried for help.
No n seemed to have heard him
for several minutes, and, in addition
to not being able to see, Shenk began
to grow dizzy, and stopped to hold to
the boards under his feet to prevent
himself from falling.
His condition was discovered by fell
low ~workmen, who had the greatest
difficulty in lowering him to the
ground. He-was taken to the Cooper
Hospital, where the physicians were
greatly puzzled. saying they had never
seen a like case. They have hopes of
Shenk's recovery. He resides at 202

Arnold Weichert, 7 years old, and his
cousin, Carl Wedchert, Q years old, are
today little the worse for a ducking in
the Morris canal last night that might
have proved serious had 1t not
been for the timely arrival of Charles
ValenEa, of 81 Roseville avenue, who
dove into the 10y water and dragged
the youngsters to safety after they had
broken through the Ice upon which
they were romping.
The rescue of the lads was by no
means easy work. for they were
f~oundering about, utterly unable to aid
themselves, when Valenza happened by.
He found the children were out Of
reach of any rope he could throw 70
them, so he stripped of his outer
clothes and leaping into the water sue

break of suicidal mania in this city
yesterday, in which SIX persons. five
women and a man, attempted to take
their lives, resulted In one death. Two
more are in a serious condition, while
the others are expected to recover.
Religious fanaticism caused one
woman to slash her throat and leap
from a second-story window. Lack Of
work led a man to think life not worth
living, and a dislike of work made an
other woman shoot herself. A young
bride tool poisson, and another girl
swallowed a quantity of paris green.

lighted a lamp and searched in his

The sound finally convinced him that
he must open his bedtick, which he did,
and discovered the little creature.

WITNESS CLEARS
j. FREL|NGHUYSEN
FROM ALL BLAME
Somerset Senator ExOnerated by
II. K. Stokes Before Sem
ate School Investigation.
Especial 70 the Newark stnr.1-


TRENTON, Feb. Howard X
Stokes, the last witness who testified
before the Senate School investigating
Committee, yesterday, made it clear
hat Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuysen
was in no way involved In the sale OF
the Somerset county bonds, part of
which had been negotiated with the
school fund trustees. 1t developed that
the Somerset senator took no part in
the BOND deal.
Check Is Produced.
Lawyer Murray produced the 500, 900
check referred to earlier in the day.
1t was drawn upon the Hanover Ma
tional Bank, but failed to show that
it had been placed to the account of
Mr.. Stokes. Mr.. Stokes at first wanted
1t understood that Mr.. Frelinghuysen
had received the check and prohted
thereby. Mr.. Frelinghuysen testified
that he and Mr.. Stokes intended to buy
h bonds, but that he withdrew and
Mr.. Stokes negotiated the whole issue.
Wa Member of Bond Firm.
1t was shown that while Mr.. Stokes's
brother, Edward Casper Stokes, was
governor in 1905, 1906 and 1907, Howard
Stokes was a partner In the bond
firms of Jackson & Co, and Grant &
Co. Governor Stokes was at the time
president of a Trenton bank, through
which the concerns did much of their
bond business. Mr.. Stevens, of Senator
Frelinghuysen's office, testified that he
only acted in the capacity of a mes
senger, n that neither Mr.. Freling-
huysen himself nor the office had any
thing to do with the Somerset bonds.
The checks of Jackson & Co. for the
years mentioned shows that only n
of them (and that was in the early
part of 1e05) bore the Endorsement of
Howard K. Stokes. MI. Stokes said
that he did not understand Just why
this condition existed, but, as he was
identified with the bo~nd-buying bust
ness all the time and that as Senator
Frelinghuysen was not, the Somerset
senator was probably correct, in view
of the transaction.
The probe will be continued next
week.
