A Knock at Knockers.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The government is soon to remove
the bar in the Passaic river at Point
Nopoint, or 1t expected to, according to
articles 1 have seen in the Evening
STAR recently. In connection with
this matter, l would like to say a Word
or two about the Newark Board Of
Trade, which has been severely criti-
cized in public for it's inactivity.
More than a yea ago 1t became evil
dent to the city officials and manufac-
turers of Newark that the growing bar
would have to be removed or the COM
mercial value of the Passaic river
would greatly deteriorate at that point,
1t was announced hat the city stood
ready to pay half the cost, or $685. 900,
providing the manufacturers interested
would raise the remaining $4,000. The
movement to have the required sum
subscribed was started, but 1t did not
progress very rapidly.
Here the Newark Board of Trade be-
rivers and harbors act would relieve
Newark of the cost OF removing the bar
and the government would undertake
the job. While the act vas shaping
itself iii the lawmill, a member of our
Trade Board succeeded in hating 1t
long enough to have the required
amendment included and the bill went
through. A government engineer re-
Gently inspected the river and it is be-
lieved he will recommend that the war
department do away with the bar.
This is a sample of the work done
by the Newark Board of Trade. Saw
ing the city and it's commercial mer
$500 0 on one project does not deserve
criticism at least. Let the knockers
join the board and work for Newark
instead Of against it,

Prick BUYS RODNEY AND
GAINSBOROUGH PICTURES.

PITTSBURG, June 1.-two speci-
mems of early English portraits have
been purchased by Henry Clay Prick
for his home, $40 Fifth avenue, New
York. One is the f~ull-length portrait
of the Honorable Anne E. Duncombe,
afterward Countess of Radnor, painted
by Thomas Gainsborough, and the
other is the George Rodney life-size
f%ull-length portrait of Lady Mines.
Both were obtained by Mr.. Prick
through the Duveens. Although the
dealers would not say what price had
been paid for the pictures, it is known
that the Gainsborough was held at
$500, 900 last March, at which time the
Louvre in Paris was DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning 1t. The price reported to have
been paid by Mr.. Prick is said to have
been exceeded but once in the sale of a
painting. This was when t. B. Wild
ener recently paid $4,000 for Rem
brandt's 1.-THE Mill' In Lord Lans-
downe's collection.
According to public reports on
record here" said DR.. John w. Beatty.
director of fine arts of Carnegie Insti-
tute, 'Duveen Brothers, of New York,
purchased a Franz Halls for $500, 900,
and in November, 1909, Mrs. Coils P.
Huntington paid $4o0,o 900 for a Velas-
quez called Count Duke Olizares.'"

stripes in 1776. This flag has been our
emblem ever since, and when it is
raised it always brings over us a feel
ing of greatness. The flag was first
carried into battle at Trenton and
Princeton in 1776. Can anyone imagine
the feeling of our soldiers when their
own flag was carried at the head Ut
their forces?
The year of 1777, on June Is, saw the
flag officially the flag of our country.
On the previous day it was adopted
by Congress and on the 18th it was
raised while Washington was camped
at Bound Brook. This is III a short
history of the origin of our flag, but lei
every lchool child, both boy and girl
get better acquainted with the facts
of this historical day.

THE SENATE VOTE ON RECIPROCITY.

I will be perfectly clear to the people of the country that the
senator who shall vote for the Root amendment to the reel
procity bill is either openly or covertly opposed to the bill and
wants to see it defeated in the House because of the amendment
The senator who votes for the amendment while protesting to favor
reciprocity will be regarded as a hypocrite. More respect will be
felt for senator's who are outspoken in their opposition to reci
procity and will support the Root amendment as a means of killing
it. There is no need for the amendment in so far as it proposes to
compel Canada to coerce the provinces to remove their export duties
on pulp wood. The reciprocity bill provides for a duty of 1918 on
paper made from wood on which export duties are levied. This duty
would have the effect to bring the provinces to terms. Canada can
not coerce her provinces in this matter. But the object of the Root
amendment is plain. 1t means death to reciprocity.

Editor Of the Evening Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Since your Rostrum column is given
over to all sorts of discussions, I, too,
join the ranks that keep it filled and
wish to say a few pleasant things about
Flag Day, which occurs on Wednes,
day next. This is done SO that the
school children may take a more hearty
interest in the observance of the day
which meant so much to our fore
fathers.

ELECTRICITY IN THE STORM.

cTa HERE has been an unusual succession of violent electrical
storms within a week, doing great damage in city and coun-
try, with extraordinary variations of the temperature. These
phenomena have followed a long period of drought all over the coun-
>try and of intense heat in the West. The weather indications give
us occasionally correct warnings in advance of coming storms, but
the electrical displays we have witnessed and been appalled, by evil
IDENTITY were beyond the ken of the official weather prophet, for they
were unheralded and entirely unexpected. If we are to have a
continuation of this electrical energy in the air during the summer
easements and cellars will be popularized for the timid folk.

THE CRIME THAT Turks IN THE SUBURBS.

OBABLY the recent electrocution of the fend who NAL
treated and murdered a little girl near Asbury Park did not
have the publicity it should have had to make it a deterrent
of similar crimes. Two brutal assaults upon little girls have
occurred within three days on the suburban roads. While the per-
petrator of the first crime was being aimlessly searched for the
second crime was committed. The horror and desire for vengeance
excited by a repetition of these maddening acts must inevitably
lead to scenes of lynching if police protection in the suburbs and
criminal justice are not more competent.

OUEERED BY THE SENATE.

ce HE Bristow amendment to the resolution for a constitutional
amendment for the direct election of senator's passed by
the Senate yesterday by the deciding vote of Vice-President
Sherman is not unlikely to have the effect that was intended by its
authors. The resolution with the amendment attachment may be
passed by the House, but it will then have to run the gauntlet of
the States, and if the Southern States shall reject the amendment
because of the Bristow requirement the amendment will be lost.
In all the years that the question of direct election of United States
senators has been discussed the point made in the Br1stow amend
ment was never mentioned. When the reactonaries had become
convinced that they could no longer prevent a constitutional amend
ment from going to the States they cast about for means to cripple
it and hit upon the device of the Bristow amendment, which
is now likely to postpone popular election of senator's for an indef-
mite time.

Railroad Trninmen Thankful

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The legislative oar of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen of this
State wish to express their gratitude
to those as~semblymen and senator's of
the Legislature, also to Governor Will
son, for their support n passage OF
Senate II, the bimonthly pay bill,
| which has now become a law III this
State, and which puts us on al equal
footing with the States of Pennsylva-
mia and New York. For the benefit of
those members of the order who have
no opportunity to hear the full report
Of their legislative board, as vice.
chairman Of the same I send you a
brief report of the same and OF our
work.
On January 8 Mr.. Eagan, of Hudson
| county, introduced House bill 1853 entt-
tied IAN act to provide for the pay
ment by railroad companies of their
employees every " weeks" This
bill was given a hearing on March 10,
at which time a number of railroad at
torneys, and, strange to say, employees,
appeared in opposition to 1t. Only one
man appeared at this hearing in sup
port of the bill beside the committee.
and that was w. v. Roll, of Lodge 1913.
On April 8 the bill came up for a
third reading and final passage, and
was passed by the Assembly by a vote
of 46 In favor of and 4 against.
A similar bill was introduced in the
Senate by our very good friend, Sen
ator George s. Silzer, of Middlesex
county, and passed the Senate the same
day, on April 9, and was taken to the
House April 20 and passed the House
by a vote of SO votes for and l against.
On February 6 Senator Leavitt, of
Mercer county, introduced Senate bill
SO, known as the full crew train bill,
which passed a second reading and was
referred back to the committee for a
third and final reading n passage.
The opponents of the bill here asked
for a further hearing, which was
granted on April s.. The outcome of
this was that the bill was reported
out of committe by Senator Bradley,
of Camden, and left to the discretion
of the Public Utility Commission, who
are to make an investigation of the
present mode of running trains and
report back to the Senate at the 1912
session. At this hearing Brother Harry
K. Elbon, of Lodge 592, ably assisted
the committee. The following sena-
tors expressed themselves as opposed
10 both our bills, and any legislation
favoring the railroad employees: Sen
ators Edge, Republican. Atlantic
county; O. H. Brown, Republican. Mon
mouth county; William E. Bradley, Re-
publican, Camden county; G. w. f.
Gaunt. Republican, Gloucester county;
r. E. Hand, Republican, Cape May
county; G.. w. Lewis, Republican, Bur-
lington county; William Plummer, jr,
Salem county; John D. Prince, jr., Pas
sale county.
Both our bills had the unanimous
support of the Democratic assembly,
men and senators, and to them We
tend our hearty thanks for what they
have done for us, and they are as
surred of our support in anything they
may desire. A. M. DOUGLASS,
chairman Legislative Board.

GIFTS FOR PRINCETON.

I'D RINCETON is always rich in gifts, and the announcement at
liz Princeton yesterday of the most recent offerings to the
university are therefore not unusual. Among the graduates
gifts, one of $4,000 from John o. Fl. Pitney, of the class of 1881,
lestlhes the loyalty of Mr.. Pitney to his alma mater. A gift that
the university will prize is that by the oldest living graduate, the
venerable DR.. James Curtis Hepburn, of the japanese order of the
Rising Sun, presented to him by Japan's emperor for distinguished
Literary work important in Japan.

MNNE man. Vice-Presdent Sherman, fastened the Bristow amend
w ment on the resolution submitting to the States the amend
ment for direct election of senators. AS that amendment
probably will cause the ultimate defeat of an amendment SO strongly
desired by the people, upon Sherman will rest the responsibility
and the odium. If there was a chance for the denomination of
Sherman by the Republican national convention next year it was
dsspated by that reachonary deciding vote.

A EUROPEAN TRIP SADLY ENDED.

EORMER GOVERNOR STOKES has not been addicted to vaca-
tons. AS a governor he stuck close to his office. A trip
to Europe was a novelty for him, and he made his father
his guest. Ere he reaches the English shores wireless messages
hunt his ship to tell him that his mother is dead at her home in
Millvile. Separated by about two thousand miles of ocean wastes
from home, the situation of son and father is most distressing and
evokes the sympathies of the State. A sad Homecoming after an
interrupted Journey.

Fl FOOL WHO MAKES PANICs AM DISASTERS

m CRY of fire" in a crowded church at Hightstown last night
IN when a lightning bolt struck the church steeple caused a
panic that might have become a tragedy if a few cool men
had not striven to calm the frenzed audience. The fool with his
ever ready cry of fire is never absent from an assemblage of people
in which a panic and stampede would have serious consequences
and he is never punished unless he is crushed or burned in the
disaster he has caused. Let it be hoped that he doesn't always get
off with q whole skin.

III. "A. II. n we'll known as a
leading Italian politician, is said to
have placed baseball in the same class
as cocaine, morphine or any of the
familiar drugs, which seldom let a VIC
tim escape. He does not think the
national game harmful; instead, advo-
Gates playing and seeing 1t as a cure to
many ills. Just to illustrate his belief
Of the power baseball holds over a fan
the doctor is credited with relating the
following to a friend:
"a patient of mine told me he could
not sleep we'll at night If he missed a
game when the Tigers were at home.
He was a rabid fan If ever there was
one-talked baseball by the hour. The
limit was reached, however, one Sunday
last veal when the Tigers were playing
a double-header.
MY patient attended the funeral of
a relative early in the afternoon, and
coming back from the cemetery or
dered the coachman to make the next
stop Wiedenmayer's Park. That's what
I call some fan"
Talk about the high cost of living,
just look at this" remarked Frank H.
Sterling, BIS he produced a letter from
Dorle Felcberg, dated at the Iditarod
mining camp, Alaska, on March % last
n which only reached Newark last
week.
And Sterling read: Flour, 500 per
hundred; condensed cream, $3.50 per
can; bacon and ham, rs cents a pound;
butter, $1.25 a pound, and eggs, SIS per
case, or about % cents apiece, and
they are none too fresh at that"
Guess Newark's good enough for
me-" remarked Sterling as he folded
up the letter.
Alfred N. Dalrymple declares he is
surprised to find among the business
men of Newark very few who know the
value of having a customs office in his
city.
why, those fellows have their i'm
ports shipped to New York." said
"Dal," recently, thinking that is the
nearest port of entry, and the joke of
1t is these same men who dc business
within a stones throw of our customs
office and do not know it is there de-
scribe themselves as authorities on
customs regulations and such.
For the benefit of all I wish to state
that the office of the customs collector
for the port of Newark is located on
the third floor of the Postofice build

Question-What has the oiling of the
roads in Montclair got to do with the
fiat wheels On trolley cars?
How many men can answer his
question? Few in the City Hall can;
but Trolley Inspector Joseph Crawford.
who knows as much about trolley cars
as the man that makes them, can give
the answer to the puzzle without
hesitation. This is It:
In Montclair, when they oil the
roads, they also oil the trolley tracks.
This means hat the motorman has to
use sand whenever he stops the car.
Sand means fiat wheels, and fiat
wheels mean noise.
Frank M. McDermit, the lawyer, is
almost as broad as he is long, and
during the hot spell a few days ago
