coMR. DANIELS VOTED THAT WAY, TOO.

1a HERE has been question as to whether Winthrop Moore
Daniels, of Princeton, the appointee by Governor Wilson to
the Public Utilities Commission, had subscribed to the
answer by the commission to the Commuters Association refusing
to take any action whatever in the matter of the increased fares
of the railroads in North Jersey and declaring that the commits.
sion would not act in any case except upon it's own Interpretation
of it's powers. Secretary Barber, of the commission, gives the in
formation that the text of the answer to the Commuters Asso
citation was unanimously adopted by the commission, Commissioner
Winthrop Moore Daniels voting for it. There is a loud call for
the Public Utilities Commission to step down and out, and the
daily newspapers in Jersey City and Hoboken are demanding it,
and so are the commuter voters in Bergen and elsewhere. And
must Commissioner Winthrop Moore Daniels go, too?

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t is to be regretted that the report
of City Engineer Sherrerd was not
favorable to the Installation of a

in any way by such report. but will
go into the matter in the proper spirit,

CANADA YET TO c

NMT E must wait until the Canadian Parliament shall pass a
WV reciprocity bill before throwing up our hats, and we are
likely to be compelled to wait until after a general cleo
ton in Canada on the reciprocity question. If the government is
beaten in the elections in October, good-by to reciprocity. The
Conservatives will then make proposals that our government will
not dare to accept and which Congress would surely reject. If an
election shall be held the Canadian opponents of reciprocity will
have the aid of the paper trust and Standard Oil influences, as well
as of powerful influences from England. So far reciprocity is alto.
gether onesided. Canada is yet to act.

II Ia true that the foundation blood

Arabian horse. That same Arabian

the first Arabian to the height of

Strapped With Mace
And He Is Still at 1t
JACK JOHN SON.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-There is one
fighter in Chicago who laughs at the
expression that fighters can't come
back. He never has been away, aud
therefore he can't see why pugilists
should worry about this much abused
ring axiom.
John w. ('Nobby'O Clarke, who
was fighting in the days when Jem
Mace was supreme, is the fighter who
claims he is the oldest active boxer
and the only undefeated champion OF
the bare knuckle days still in the
game. Clarke-who was a champion
before the present school of fight
fans was born-will be seventy-two
years >old next May, but he says lie
feels as young as he did at eighteen,
and to see him sidestepping wallops
from bantam-weight champion John
ny Coulon, leads one to believe that
what he says Is right.
10 Not Ready to Retire.
When asked when he retired from
the ring, the veteran who still carries
a punch that will make many a
youngster cry enough, said he had
not quit the game and did not intend
TO do so for many years to come. He
started fighting as a featherweight
