ON u|NCOLN'S BIRTHDAY
Socialist | eader Wants People
to Rise Against Courts
February IL.

GIRARD, Kan, January 5.-In the cur
rent issue Of the Appeal to Reason, a
socialist paper published here, Eugene V.
Debs, one-time socialist candidate for
President, has made a full-page-bold-
faced declaration Of revolt in which
he calls on all citizens Of the United
States to join in a demonstration of pro-
test and revolt, which will be inaugurated
on the anniversary Of Lincoln's birth
day, February IL, against the courts OF
the United States.
Debs calls attention to what he declares
is evidence enough to convict the federal
courts of the country Of direct obedience
to the capitalist class and cites many in
stances, among them being the recent
imprisonment Of Fred D. Warren, man.
aging editor of the Appeal.
Warren recently was sentenced to
prison for sending through the mails the
offer Of a reward to the party or parties
who would kidnap Gov. Taylor of Ken
lucky, and take him beyond the confines
of his own state. This announcement was
made through the mails at the time Of the
trials of Caleb Powers for the murder of
Gov. GOebel.

Only a small proportion Of each barrel
Of crude oil is available in the form OF
gasoline. by far the greater part of it
being converted by distillation into the

the growing demand for gasoline is caus-
ing the oil producers more or less anx-

been instrumental in causing a drop OF

domestic distribution. while for export
the decline has amounted to 81 barrel.
Another factor which bears upon the stu

AGENT, ACCUSED
OF ASSAULT, ACQUITTED.

Peter Bigler, assistant ticket agent
at the Lackawanna station, Montclair,
who was charged with assault and bat
terry by George Menhinuk, of los Or
ange road, that town, was found not
guilty this morning in the Montclair
Police Court by Recorder Henry L.
Yost. The dispute over the sale
of a ticket to Mr. Menhinuk's 11-year-
old boy Vivian. The lad was sent to
the station on April 1 last for a half
trip ticket to New York. The agent
says that the boy asked for a ticket
and said nothing about a half-trip
ticket.
An argument arose between the rail-
road official and Mr.. Menhinuk. which
led to harsh words. AS the latter was
blocking the line waiting for tickets
Bigler stepped outside his Office and
attempted to get the excited Menhinuk
away from the window. 1t was then
that, the latter says, the agent hit
him four times. George M. ellis, of
Upper Mountain avenue, who was in
the line waiting to get a communication
ticket, testified that Bigler did not
strike the other man. The case wal
then dismissed.

Swagger Gambler, on Stand in
CamOrrist Trial, Gloats
Over Social Prestige.

VITERBO, Italy, April 5.-One Of the
most interesting characters in the
Camorra, Giovanni Rapi, the supposed
treasurer, was heard In his own de-
Tense today. Questioned by President
Bianehi of the Court of the Assizes, IL
made d. general denial of completely in
the murder of the Cuoecolos, called at
tention to discrepancies in the testi-
mony of Gennaro Abbatemaggio, the
informer, anu sought to impress the
jury by the assertion that, having
escaped the jurisdiction of the court, he
voluntarily returned to stand trial.
Rapi, also known az 20 Professors
Rapi' has the bearing of a gentleman
and today was dressed in the stylish
clothes which he affects. Speaking in
a carefully modulated tone and with
precision, the prisoner betrayed a de-
sire to emphasize his social superiority
over the other thirty-fve defendants
Rapi a Gambler.
BY profession. Rapi is a high-class
gambler n has experienced the usual
ups and downs of n follower of chance.
The surveillance of the italian police
becoming oppressive, he went to Paris,
and. when expelled from the French
capital, he set up bushes in London,
subsequently returning TO Italy with a
fat purse, there to go broke again.
AS a young man Rapi bore an unen-
viable reputation. An incident of his
early career involved a woman COM
panion. This woman had another adj
mirer, lower in the social scale than
Rapi. This man met a violent death
The authorities questioned Rapi. but
could prove nothing against him.
The story told by the prisoner e
garding his movements from the time
of the murder of Cuoccolo and his wife
was in substance as follows:
ION the day that Cuoccolo is sup
posed to have been killed, l went with
Enrico Alfano to try out some carriage
horses We reached Tore del Greco,
where we met some of Alfano's friends
and we all dined together. I did not
suspect that the banquet had any sinis-
ter object and nothing u of the ordi-
nary was said. I paid the bill, as I. was
considered the richest of the party. I
was arrested and gave this plain expla-
nation of the situation. 1t was suf1-
cient to bring about the release Of all of
us. Later l obtained permission to re-
enter Paris. and I was about to recoup
my earlier losses, when. hearing that I
was again accused, l willingly returned
to Italy"

BOARD
EXPLAINS COSTLY
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Officials Tell Why Town Pays
$24.45 Per Pupil More Than
Any Other Town in State.

1t cost Montclair just s24.45 more per
pupil to educate its school children than
any other municipality in the State
similarly situated. according TO a report
submitted last night to the Board of
Education of that town by Commits
sioner Cornelius D.. Dubois, of the
school efficiency committee. He had
been appointed to investigate the mat
ter.
The matter was first brought up a
year ago by former Mayor Henry V.
Crawford at a meeting of the Board
of School Estimate. 1t that time the
Board of Education replied that he
town had better schools than any other
municipality in the State. The mayor
suggested an investigation to see if
Montclair was getting all that it paid
for, or II the money was being wasted.
The report is voluminous n was or
dered printed. The board declares that
when the report is read the citizens will
undoubtedly back up the board.
The report shows that the cost per
pupil in Montclair is SPAS a year more
than in East Orange. A tabulated
statement is submitted, showing the
various accounts and the difference in
GOSL lIOil lllOoC III LUMP
the cases mentioned. the report says
that Montclair has additional facilities
to thos hieh East Orange possesses.
Commissioner Harrison has charge of
the investigation of the curriculum OF
MontcIair with other places, but is not
yet ready to report.
Confronted by a petition bearing the
names of $50 citizens. the board
rescinded it's recent order requiring
compulsory vaccination by April 10.
This means that the ruling that all
children must present a certificate OF
vaccination or submit to the treatment
bv the town ON that date is of no avail.
The petitioners were represented by
Charles H. Shelton, of Grove street,
who declared that vaccination. in his
opinion, was neither necessary nor de-
sirable; that 1t was loathed by many
and harmful to some; that no good
would come of the order and much
affection would ensue.

CENTRE MARKET NOW
READY TO SHOW PROFIT.

Fathef Newark in making the an
nouncement today that kill his debts
as far as the Centre Market is con
cerned are paid, proved that he is
a good business man and that from
now on the market will make a clear
profit of $4,000 per year.
The twenty-year 4 per cent. bonds
for 1896, 600, which were issued in 1891,
for the purchase OF the market plaza
on Commerce street, were retired on
April /, and the National State Bank
was made the retiring agent. The sink
ing fund and interest charges on this
loan amounted to $3.50. There has
been considerable talk of abandoning
the market for a number of years, but
those in charge have always fought
against it. saying that the city is
making money by maintaining the
place. The announcement of the re-
tirement of the bonds is gratifying to
those opposed to the abandonment.
