AWAIT ANSWER
Of HUDSON MEN J
BEFORE SUING
Lambert Company's Attorney
Gives Ultimatum to Bridge
Committee.

Upon the answer that County Attof-
ney o Griffin, of Hudson county, re-
turns to the virtual ultimatum, deliy-
cred through him to the Hudson men,
beers of the joint Plank road commit
tee today, will probably not only de-
pend a suit in court for s3.40o, but may
determine whether the two separafe
sets of committeeman from the two
counties are W. going to become
really '.joint.H
The ultimatum was delivered very
gently by Edward NJ. Cole, the law
yer, who represents the Lambert Hoist
ing Engine Company, with instructions
to get the money on that $500 bill for
bridge work that the Hudson menu
bers will not approve. The diplomatic
wording of the interview between Mr.
Cole, representing the Lambert COM
pany, and Mr.. Griffin, representing the
reealcitrant Hudson f~reeholders, IS not
a thing that either would repeat. But
It may be said that Mr.. Collie went over
to Jersey City n told Mr.. Griffin that
the Lambert company had done tbs
work under proper authority and were
being held up by the pugaaciousness OF
the Hudson members, who are quib-
bling over technicalities.
Essex Men Approve
He pointed out that the Essex menu
bers of the committee had signed in de-
cency and promptness. He said his
client wanted to be perfectly fair, but
didn't want to be made the victim OF
any in~tercounty schism. He told Mr..
Griffin that unless the Hudson mem
bers could see their way clear to signing
these bills he would be compelled to
L them, under instructions OF his
client.
He and Mr.. Griffin agreed that a suit
would have ~far-reaching results, es-
pecially since the two sections of the
joint committee are at needles points
now and that such a suit brought from
the Essex county side would assurediy
stick the needle points into all the
members.
Delay Almost ~Seasdalous.
Both agreed also that the fight in the
joint committee has reached the point
of a delay that is almost scanialous-
officially, personally and, most of all.
from the point of view of the tax
payers, who are. of course. the CHIEF
sufferers while the warning freeholders
go on with their scrap.
Such a suit as the Lamberts threaten
could have no effect but to add venom
TO the feud, n Mr.. Collie told MFR.
Griffin that that vas the last thing
either his client or himself wished TO
inject. <
Mr.. Griffin apparently saw the rea-
soning, for he said he would consult
with the Hudson freeholders and see
If some way of a quick settlement can
not be brought about
That's wehere the situation stood this
morning. BY the meeting of the bridge
committee next week the Hudson
members win probably have either ap-
proved the bill or become defendants
in a suit.

g PEAKIEG yesterday afternoon be-
~ fore THE Contemporary" in Wal
lace Hall, on THE Civic Crisis"
the Rev. DR.. Stephen s. Wise, of New
York, asserted that it is not a bigger
stick that is needed, but a bigger con
science. He said:
we cannot have good government
until We put aside meaningless, blind
and unreasoning partisanship. A
political party should be a means and
not an end. The man who is brought
up as a staunch Republican or Demo-
crat ties up his political opinions, If
he has any, with blue ribbons, and
hands it over to his party with the
sublime faith that the party is going
to do It's duty. And the condition of
affairs now shows how the parties have
done their duty. He is advised at the
elections to vote the straight ticket,
ans L find that many a straight ticket
Is made up Of crooked candidates
Partisanship is the strongest support OF
corruption, and while we must OF
necessity have parties, no mar should
be a slave to the party. He should
think first If the candidate is a good
man, q clean man, a man lit for The
position, and not thai he q bought
and paid for his candidacy. He may
be a Democrat part of the time, or a
Republican. but she should be an
American all the time, with the courage
to work for the greatness of the whole
and not for the Individual"
DIR. Wise stated that the interest in
politics was spasmodic and not sus-
tanned and that we cannot have good
government by getting excited for three
weeks in the whole year. 1t is neces-
sary rather to work industriously all
the twelve months. He said that It
was better to work for a great country
rather thar a big one. He referred 10
the danger of "scapegoatisIn," as
applied to Tammany Hall. He said
that every large city in the United
States has its Tammany Hall and b a
all the faults OF the campaigns were
laid to its door. Tammany, he sad,
was merely the instrument in the hands
OF the people and it could never stand
were 1t not supported by the people
DR.. Wise was introduced by the
president Of the club, Mrs. Samuel
Clark.

The town council has asked
Engineer Shallenberger for an es-
innate on the cost of putting in
the proposed sewer system and he
bas been engaged for some time
in making the preliminary sur
veys to that end. 1t is likely that
at the next meeting OF the coun-
Gil something definite may be
known as to the extent and cost
OF the system. and proposition
will then be put up to the tax
payers TO vote upon at 'he COM

to be hoped that more sensible
and easier payment plan will be
proposed than was forced upon

Europe as to cause comment from

good roads are among the most
valuable assets of any country.
They lessen the cost of getting
farm products to market. and
once made good, reduce the an
nnal cost of repairs. Once estab-
lished, every acre adjacent is per
manently enhanced in value. In

RAMBLING REMARKS
By Geo. o. Blake

i presume the fool-killer still
pursues his avocation. but he EVIL
dentlv has a job much too large
for him. Over at Trenton, New
Jersey, is preacher by the name
of Hitchcock, who should be in
terviewed-with a club. This par
son, and by the way it is said his
flock shares his views. seriously
objects to our universal telephone
Call. II. says "hello" has a pro-
fame sound. and besides. the unre-
generate youth OF his town have
the pernicious habit of transfer
ring the last letter to the first OF
the word. This paragon OF piety
also objects to the name of the
structure we use in harnessing the
waters OF stream, dam" has a
decidedly profane sound to him.
He is evidently not aware that
the courts have long since decid
ed no expression is profane unless
it contains the name of the deity.
This finicky parson seriously sug-
gests that "lo" might be substi-
tuted for "hello," but offers no
substitute for dam" 1t has oc-
Cured to me that darn" is pos
sible substitute, but there is really
very little similarity between the
darning of socks and damming a
stream-or anything else for that
matter, especially the cook. And
in passing. | might say that this
preachers name is quite as objec-
tionable as that of Helen Blazes.
Piety, like charity, might well be-
gin at home.
Another place neglected by the
killer is Ellensburg. WashIngt- n.
The city dads ou; there, so press
dispatches say, have passed an or
diuaucc taxing unmarried men
and women S25. In mans case
the tax is remitted if he makes
oath that during the year he has
proposed to three eligible women
and been rejected. but he must
name the women. In the womans
case immunity is granted if she
swears she has had no proposal.
but if she has rejected a proposal,
she pays $40 more. How's that
for revenue raiser?
Under the "blue laws" of Con
nccticut, it was a punishable Of
fense for an unmarried man to
keep house. 1t was also an Of
tense, for a householder to thar
Dor" this undesirable. To make
things interesting. these laws pro-
hibited hugging and kissing. Evil
IDENTIFY the course of true love had
some handicaps. In my youthful
historical researches. | remember
seeing pictures of our puritan fore
dads going to church with guns
on their shoulders, and danger
from "savages" was the explana-
ton, but / suspect that fellow
living under such conditions was
liable to take shot at most any
thing. All which reminds me
that the world is wagging along
very nicely and nobody takes Sc
riously these sporadic attempts to
regulate the universe. Once they
were serious, now they are ridicu-
lous. Attending to ones own af
fairs isn't bad occupation.

DISGRAcEFUL STATE POLITICS

The contest to get control or
retain control of the state health
board between the Democrats on
one hand and the Republicans on
the other down at Denver has
brought out some very interesting
sidelights on the conduct of that
important department OF the state
government. The idea of calling
it non partisan board is all bun
combe, with the Republicans in
control and using all the wiles of
partisan politics to maintain that
control, and Rhoady Kenehan
says, in an official report, after
partial investigation of the finances
OF the board that more than 1000
has been misused by DR.. Taylor
and his relatives in the depart
ment, and that this struggle to
keep the old Republican board in
power and reappoint DIR. Cannon
as Commissioner is to prevent a
further investigation which might
show even more glaring misuse of
state funds. 1t is up 10 Governor
Shafroth to clean out that nest of
make-belIeve food inspectors and
put in clean men who will run the
department tor the benefit of the
whole people. and they should
preferably be Democrats. Cover
nor Shafroth had a mighty close
call at the last Democratic state
convention. and we are free to
admit that his defeat at that con-
vention would have encompassed
the defeat of the party at the
polls, but we are also willing that
the party should be defeated at
the polls two years from now If
our leaders in power continue to
show such incompetence in hand
ling the affairs of the state and
such cowardice in failing to turn
the rascals out and putting homes
men on guard. If Governor Shat
roth desires to 60 to the United
States senate now or two years
from now it would be well for
him to show plainly that he de-
sires to go as a Democrat. and
not as a milk and slush compro-
mise. The Newspaper was an un-
tiring advocate of the renomina
tion and re election of Governor
Shafroth and the writer voted and
worked untiringly for him at the
state convention, and was in a
measure responsible for Delta |
county's delegation going to that
convention instructed for the gov
ernor. when at least half of the
delegation was opposed to Shat
roth personally. which facts we
mention to show that our criti-
cism is not from any personal
animosity, but is meant for the
good of the party now and here
after.
1t is bad enough that the Demo
cratic members of the legislature
are disgracing themselves and the
state in their endless fight over |
the personal ambitions of two
corporation, gang controlled can
didates for tie Senate without our
state officers allowing fight over
the control of the pure food de-
partment to further disrupt the
party. The state senate should |
confirm the appointments to the
board, and that board should then
appoint Democrat to Mr. Can !
mons place.

will be recalled by old residents
here that Ghlen Davis, age 16,
and Joe Carlow, age "a. differed
about something which appeared
vital to them and agreed to repair
to the school-house yard and set
tie the matter with fisticuff. In
the darkness of the early evening
they fought, in the presence of
several of their young friends, and
as Carlow realized he was getting
the worst of the fight he stealthily
sneaked out small knife used by
butchers in stripping meat from
bones and began cutting Davis
about the chest and stomach.
Davis was practically dead man
before the onlookers realized that
Carlow had taken this advantage.
Carlow was ;ried and sentenced
to the penItentiary for a long
term, and shortly after his incar-
ceration a movement was started
to have him pardoned, but vas

Finding Mans Body

tilted from the clothing and the
size and general appearance of
the man to be that of W. L. Davis,
who had been missing nearly four
years. He said that the body
was in pinion tree four or FIVE
feet from the ground. A rope
was tied to a limb above the
corpse and showed that it had
rotted and let the body down.
There was similar piece of rope
around the neck of the corpse
The head and hands were bare of
flesh. He described the clothing
and said he was positive they
were the same as worn by Davis
in the last days he was seen here
before his disappearance. He
went back to the body again on
the morning follc wing (this morn
ing) with the coroner and To-
Gated the place for the party
which went up to bring the body
in Mr.. Roatcap also identified
receipt and other papers as the
same ones taken from the body
Immediately after it was lowered
from the tree. He also identified
the razor and the pocket knife as
the ones taken from the body.
Other witnesses examined were
Floyd Bross and Arthur Wood,
whose testimony was practically
the same as that OF Roatcap as to
the finding of the body. but
neither of them had known Davis
in life.
The finding of the coroner's
jury was to the effect that the
body was that of Wilson l.. Davis,
that he came to his death by
hanging with his own hands. and
that he destroyed himself i'm
mediately after his disappearance
on March 8. 1907.
DIR. w. +. Follansbee was sworn
and questioned as to his opinion
of the length OF time the body on
view had been exposed to the
elements, and said that II had un-
donbtedly been several years. as
the weather had left rough marks
on the skull. He had been ply
sician to Mr.. DAVIS some time be-
fore his disappearance, and said
he had been nervous and dis
traught. and had many curious
imaginings. but that he had never
thought that the man contem.
plated suicide.
Marion Sandifer. a sonin law
of Mr., Davis, said he identified
the body as that OF Davis. He told
of Davis staying at his home the
last night he was ever seen here.
and that he left in the morning
going toward the Cowan mine.
John Davis. the son, and Mrs.
Wilson l. Davis, the widow, also
testified, making stronger the
identification.
Wilson l.. Davis was So years
OF age when he left home. He
was a member of the Modern
Woodmen. and carried an insur-
ance of $4,000. Young John Davis
has steadily paid the insurance
premiums since his father left and
it seems that the family will now
receive payment on this policy.
The finding and Identification
of the body brings to mind the
curious fact that Mrs. Davis
short time ago entered suit for
divorce, and that suit is now
pending in the county court. The
finding of the body will make
