the dome of the Statehouse. Lean

understand why gambling, pool
selling and book-making fiourishes

river. l can understand why IL
quor law violations and gambling
exists in Michigan City, within the

l can understand why liquor law
violations, graft and othr law vio-
lations exist in the Magic City OF
Gary, and I can also understand
why there are law violations in
Lake county, and with an average
amount of optimism and hope at

that we shall ever see the day

veracity. and yet the fact later develop
ed that Greenwald and Ross had really

letter was actually received by Smith.
who attended to the matter and kept
his own counsel.
Had Surprise talked with Attorney
NJ. j. Smith about the matter before
rushing a letter off to the governor he
would have been convinced that Smith
was doing his duty. Evidently Surprise
enjoyed writing to-the governor.
Governor Is Nettled.
In answer to Surprises second let
ter complaining of conditions at Cedar
Lake the governor. forwarded to Smith
a brief letter in which he suggested
that Smith either start prosecutions or
make Surprise go back nhis state
ments 1t could be seen by the tone of
the letter that the governor was be-
coming nettled at Surprises persistence
for he called him this man. and the
suggestion that he might go back" on
his statements indicates that the gov

of art 1t contained an affidavit by
Surprise himself in which he admitted
that he had never actually made COM
plant to either the prosecutors or the
sheriffs office. This put Surprise in
an absolutely ridiculous attitude. for
everyone knows that Surprise should
have first taken his complaint TO the
prosecutor and never bothered the gov
ernor of the state. The Hammond
Daily News comes in for a castiga-
ton in Smiths letter to the governor,
and is shown up in its true light.
Motive of Attitude.
The real motive of whole nasty atti-
| tude of the News was shown to be
| its aversion to Sheriff Thomas Grant.
The governor was apprised of the ex-
| act facts in the matter, and IT is safe
| to say that he is now convinced that
the office of the sheriff and prosecutor
in Lake county are being efficiently
| administered.
| Attention should be called to the last
| paragraph of the Smith letter to the
| governor 1t has a subtle touch of
/ irony in it in his suggestion that there
are other places in Indiana where law
violations are just as numerous as In
Lake county. and yet he was not dis
respectful.

IN the light Of these facts the corre-

the community. 1t is a good indica-
tion of the harm that can be done by
the making of ill-advised and unmea-
sured statements which can not later
be substantiated.
Surprises second letter to Governor
Marshall is characteristic of his whole
attitude in this controversy. He re-
lates that Prosecuting Attorney Green

ing Work for Town in ViO-
latiOn of Law.

In regard to the complaint made by
Keyser & Corb, the town plumbers OF
Nutley, that a member of the Town
Council had performed work for the
town against the law, the legal COM
mittee, through Councilman Arthur r.
Carr, chairman of the committee, re-
ported at the meeting last night that
the committee deemed the matter so
serious that it should be taken up by
the Council at large. The town
plumbers were requested to attend, and
the town attorney will be on hand.
Mr.. Carr also submitted a resolution
covering a new form of contract with
the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commits
sion. This was done because of the
legal action taken by New York State
against the sewer. The contract will bs
signed later.
The fire committee reported that the
new fire auto is expected to be in town
on July 4. The town plumbers were re-
ported as not having renewed their
license, and could not legally do any
town work. Councilman Hallidy
wanted to know If the town work
would be held UP. He thought there
should be some way of carrying on the
unfinished work and charge it up to the
firm. The matter was referred to the
water committee and the town at
torney.

bELLEV|LLE TRADE
BOARD AGAINST
AUTO FIRE TRUCK

The Belleville Board of Trade went
on record last night by unanimous vote
against spending about $4,000 for an
auto fire truck and salaries for four
men 10 operate it. This matter will
come up at the annual fire election
Saturday, when citizens will be asked
t. appropriate $l2, Dot. in the eJurse OF
the meeting IL was said the Board of
Fire Commissioners has acted illegally
IN the matter.
Former Township Counsel Andrew l..
Boylan declared hat the fire district
law provides that for the first year OF
it's existence a board of commissioners
IN a township is allowed to spend S., 900,
and that thereafter the amount spent
for fire purposes shall not exceed 81 for
each inhabitant. Mr.. Boylan went on
to a hat there are not more than
5000 people in the Belleville fire dis
trict, and that, therefore, the Board OF
Fire Commissioners cannot legally
spend more than $4,000 at one time.
The meeting last night, which was
called for the purpose of discussing the
fire truck proposition, went down on
record unanimously as being opposed to
the buying of the vehicle, for several
reasons. Much stress was laid upon
the fact that the Greylock Manor sec
ton of Belleville Is badly in need OF
fire protection because of the fact that
there is not a township irehouse with
in probably a mile the place. 1t was
declared that a rearrangement of the
present fire houses was needed more
than anything else.
Taking advantage of the law as eX-
planned by Mr.. Boylan, Tax Collector
a. Howard Osborne made a motion
which was carried and which provides
that in the event of the defeat of the
extra appropriations that residents of
Greylock Manor have a special cleo
ton called. The object of the cleo
ton viii be To vote on the Question of
erecting a fire house Immediately in
Greylock Manor. William d. Clark,
of Greylock Manor. told the members
that the Greylock Hose Company
stands willing to turn over to the town
ship fire department all the equip
ment owned by that company to the
extent of about $500. In return for
this. Mr.. Clark explained that the
residents wanted to have a fire house
erected in the immediate vicinity of
Greylock.

BRYAN DEFENDS
CHRISTIAN BELIEF
AGAINST SCIENCE

William Jennings Bryan gave his lee
ture on THE Prince of Peace" in the
Mum Avenue Presbyterian Church,
East Orange, last night, for the benefit
of undenominational missions. His
talk, which lasted more than an hour,
Christianity.
His analysis of the doubts of
science as to the miracles and mys-
teries of the Christian belief; his de-
nunciatjon of the Darwinian theory
and faddist notions of descent from
an animal ancestry and his plea for
following the example and teachings
of the Master, were intently listened to
and the speaker interluded several
humorous remarks that lightened the
studious defense of the PHILOSOPHERS
of Christianity.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced by the
Rev. John Douglas Adam, pastor of
the church, and at the conclusion of
his address the Rev. DR.. James M.
Ludlow, pastor emeritus, led in a rising
vote of thanks to the orator. Mr.. Bry-
an started his speech by assuring the
women. who had been asked to re-
move their hats so the audience could
see the speaker, that he had given no
such instructions. and he declared this
years feminine h%eadgear was so much
more beautiful than former creations
that he would not think of asking their
removal. He commended the existence
of the Mems Club of the church, under
whose auspices he spoke, and said the
organizations were doing a splendid
work In churches Of the country. He
explained his interest in church work
of late years by stating his experience
of two defeats for the Presidency had
made the possibility of another nomi-
nation so remote he turned to church
talks following an avoidance of adj
dresses to religious meetings for fear
his opponents would charge him with
seeking to utilize church influences In
his political activities.
Mr.. Bryan declared that while ne
will continue to interest himself in the
science Of government he expects TO
make religious talks the chief business
of his remaining years of life. He
considers religion a larger field than
politics.

missioners Blake, Crater and DR.. Me-
Donald, of the school board, are In
charge of the arrangements.
The class of 1911 has been somewhat
handicapped by the lack of adequate
room, but the extensive improvements
to the Winans street building will pro-
vide the pupils in the next class with
plenty of room. One of the features of
the new building, which will annoy the
girls, will be the size of the lockers.
Seven hundred &c the steel arrange
ments have been chosen, and they will
abe II inches by IL inches and go inches
high. The large hats that have proved
fashionable of late will have cramped
quarters and may not fit in at all.
