New York World: The supreme
court OF the United States was for
mally abolished by the conference of
governors yesterday, which appoint
ed committee to tell the court how
1t must decide cases involving state
legislation regulating public-service
corporations.
The boast that I'VE have made his
tory" is all too modest. We have
heard only one Earring note in this
grand chorus Of progress.
Like most advocates of the initia-
tive and referendum and the recall,
Governor Stubbs of Kansas is too con-
sentative. He would be satisfied with
the recall Of federal district judges.
Il do not criticise the supreme
court" he says, "but conditions in
the federal courts in parts of the Mid
die west are intolerable.'
Little real progress can be expected
from a western governor who refuses
to criticise the supreme court. We
suspect that Stubs is reactionary
at heart, a Wall street wolf in pro
gressive sleeps clothing. Otherwise
he would not be contented merely
with the recall of federal district
judges.
1t is time these United States had
comprehensive system for the admin
istration of justice, system in har
mony with modern theories.
In the first place, all federal judges
should be subject to recall. This
would include the nine justices O
the supreme court, if they are to BIZ

At the annual inter-class field
meet of the Perth Amboy High
school which was held yesterday af-
ternoon on the track at corner Mad
ison avenue ana Lewis street, the
seniors defeated the combined class
es by the score of So to 81. If the

points would have been divided as
follows: Seniors, So; sophomores,
1871; freshmen, II N juniors, 2
and s points for the relay which
would have gone to the seniors, but
was gotten by the combined forces.
The meet was a great success and
also netted the athletic association
a neat sum of money.
100 Yard Dash.
The first event, which was the
100 yards dash, was very exciting
and all the spectators were well
pleased with the initial race. Pier
son, of the seniors, took first place,
crossing the tape in eleven seconds.
KaplowitZ, '13, was a very close sec
ond, with Woglom, II, and Henry,
IA, taking third and fourth places,
respectively In good time.
Shot Put.
In the second event Mccormick
wishing to show that he was able
to master more than the 44O yards
dash, took first place in the shot put.
The distance was 1866 feet, and At
iebach, of the sophomores, took sec
ond honors, making 1878 feet.
Schwartz, II, and Mullin, II, took
third and fourth places, respective
ly.
22O Yard Dash.
The next event proved to be one
of the best of the day. Williams, of
the ''sophs," made the 220 yards
dash in the fine time of 25.2 seconds.
Considering the conditions Of the
track which was used, the time made
was very good. Schwartz, Pierson
and Roessler, of the seniors, took
the last three honors in this event.
Broad Jump.
After the last call for the broad
jump, Ave entries were made from
which Woglom, of the seniors, cas-
lily captured best honors, while Nc
Cormick took second place. Will
Jams, 10, and Hunt, IA, took third
and fourth places, respectively.
Mile Run.
The fifth event was a hummer and
saw Mullin, of the seniors, doing the
mile In the excellent time of four
minutes and ifty-three seconds; OF
course one must give allowances for
the track, which ia not a very good
one. Pickersgill, "A, escaped with
second honors. while Massopust
captured third place In this event.
Then Booth, IA. who was the only
one running after the first three
places were won, as he rounded his
last lap and came to about n foot
from his goal, he tripped and fell,
thereby losing fourth place, which
was not taken by anyone, since the
remaining three entrants out of the
seven. dropped from the race in the

FOR TOMORROW
Marions to Meet Danes al
Amusement Park.

Amusement Park tomorrow after
noon will be the place of a battle
royal, for the Danish Sociable and
the Marion mines are pitched against
one another. Teams of old time riv-
airy are these, each striving to out
do the other. The Danes" are out
for revenge for the defeat given them
last season in the ninth stage of the
game. The sting of defeat is yet
worked up in their veins and tomor-
rows game will show the merits Of
both teams.
Sports are of the opinion that the
game will be a close one, each team
having practiced faithfully for this
contest. 1t is probable the Marions
will use both of their pitchers,
Mullen and Ulmer. The Danes"
have worked hard and claim they
will avenge themselves when they
clash with last years champions on
the diamond tomorrow afternoon.
