BY N. BARNETT DoDsoN.

Savannah, Ga.-The thirteenth an.
nual meeting Of the Georgia farmers
conference, recently held at the Geor-
Ria State college in Savannah. was the
largest OF its kind ever held in the
south. There were present only few
distinguished visitors from out of the
state. very few professional men for
the simple reason that only a few were
invited. Professor K. r. Wright. presi-
dent of the state college. said that he
wanted the conference to be a confer
ence of farmers only. where all the
speeches would be about farming
The only outsiders invited were ex-
perts. There were more than 500 bona
fide farmers present. representing as
many as forty counties. Some came as
far as 200 miles. Counting visitors who
were not farmers. there were about
5000 In attendance. Next to the at,
tendance Of bona fide farmers the con-
ference was great for the number OF
agricultural experts II brought to-
gether.
Among these were: Professor u. J..
Crosby. specialist In education for the
United States department OF educn-
ton. Washington; Professor James
NJ johnson. director Of the Chat
ham County Model Farm; Miss Hon
or A. LittleHeld. instructor In do

Confidence In Leadership Important.
If the elevation of the masses of oui
people In the south is to be accom-
plished through the individual Efforts OF
,he leaders of the race n great respon
sibility rests on them for proper guid
ance and wholesome advice. Nothing
will do more to encourage and inspire
the masses than confidence In those
who lead the way in church. school
politics and business. 1t Is possibly
the most essential element In the ma
terial development OF any race OF
people.

was clearly shown in the experience

CIVIL SERVICE IS
IN D|SFAvOR WITH
NEWARK POLICE
Present Methods Would Be
BOwled Out if Put to
a Vote.

Men high up in the police department
declare that if a vote was taken today
of everyone in the police department,
civil service, in its application to. the
local force. would lose tut by a big
majority. The sentiment of almost the
entire force is against the method of
choosing among the applicants for po-
sitions on the force. Since 1902, when
the method now in existence was first
installed, it is said the class of eligi-
BILE man has deprecated materially.
The tests are in many cases not true
tests of ability as policemen. Men
vouched for by the Civil Service Com
once to be disreputable characters and
discrimination in the examinations has
peer complained of more than once.
Roundsman John Mcmahon, of the
Fifth precinct, vas once permitted to
take an examination for the position
of sergeant seventeen days after the
original examination, and in Trenton
instead of Newark. Another man high
in the civil service list is Edwin j.
Cook, of I79 South Orange avenue. He
was sixth in the examination of De-
cember last, but 1t is probable that he
will never get on the force, for he is
serving a term in the penitentiary for
stealing jewelry from the home of Ro-
sic Katz, of Az South Twelfth street.
Others who are adjudged fit for the
duties of patrolmen in the examina-
lions are found to be otherwise insult

1900 LIVES AND SHIPPING
WORTH $40, 500, 1000 LOST.
Decades Disaster; Cost Would
Build Jersey Canal.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 1s.-Distinct
gains in the matter of waterway i'm
~provements were made In every State
along the Atlantic coast. from Maine to
Florida, during the past year by rea-
son of the activities OF the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association, Presi-
dent ]. Hampton Moore, of Philadcl-
phia, to the delegates of the
association at the opening of its fourth
annual convention here today.
AS a startling presentment. which, he
said, demanded consideration at the
hands of the government, Mr.. Moore
quoted from the report of the commit
tee on traffic appointed. to collect data
with reference to the coastwise trade
in general. In it's report 1t said: zone
of the strongest arguments in favor Of
an inside route Is the fact that In a
single decade, from 1900 to 1908, there
were over 500 disasters to shipping OH
out Atlantic seaboard. Not all losses
are reported, but these accidents are
known to have destroyed $40, 500, 900
worth of vessels and cargo, and to have
caused the loss of over 900 human
Ives
President Moore pointed out thai she
$40, 500, 900 loss would more than build a
ship canal across New Jersey from New
York to the Delaware river. II doubled,
the amount would be sufficient to COM
plete a barge canal from Boston to
Beaufort, inlet, N. c., 900 miles, and the
addition of 500, 000, 900 would doubtless
complete a serviceable waterway from
New England to Florida's southern
most key.

Second mountain in West orange yes
terday afternoon by Park Policeman
Rutt. They were hardly able to walk
and were taken to police headquarters
They made the trip from the metropolis
by foot, they said.
The locality where the youths were
found is an un%frequented thoroughfare
and is seldom visited by anyone. CHEZ
Bamford questioned the boys closely,
but owing to their ages they were un-
able to give a satisfactory answer. Eff
forts were made to get in telephone
connection with their parents, but
these proved unsuccessful. The Muir
ply boy finally gave the name of a
man, VINO was reached later. and took
the BOYS home.

WILL ASK PROSECUTOR

That he will ask the prosecutor of

an alleged robbery AT his store. 60
Worthing1on avenue, Harrison. on sun
day, was the statement made today
by Olaf Jacobson. The story concern
ing the alleged robbery appeared in

$3.50 was taken from a safe, which, he
declares. was battered. The police of
Harrison have discredited the robbery
story from the outset, and say that
conflicting stories have bee told by
Jacobson. Fol this reason the matter
has not been taken seriously by the

Another complaint is that the detec-

placed in the same rank. The duties
of the two classes of policemen are as
different as those of a general from .

Say Physical Tests Arc Unfair.
There is a great deal OF speculation
as to whom will be the next deputy
chief. There is also much dissatisfae-
ton because of the a that the
physical tests are said to be unfair, in
asmuch as men of 50 years lave had
to take the same examination as those
given to younger men.
Although the candidates who will
the examinations are expected to
pass, the captains are hoping that at
least one of them fails, so that they
will be given a chance.
The law provides that in case there
are not three men on the eligible list
the next lower grade may compete.
