old when he began. charged Mrs Jacques,

living at Sees home until his arrest. said

for the first time, confessed that it was
she who caused See to separate from his

his religious IDEAS" said Mrs. jacques.
He told me he needed money to pro-
pound his theories, which at that time I
thought were highly commendsbls. and
supplied him literally with all p, needed.

ious work as prophet and attend to his
family also, so he left his wife, for which
1 suppose am to blame, for I supSlied

Charles r. Drummond, millionaire In his
own right and son Of the northumberland
tobacco manufacturer Of st. Louis, is in
New York today and is said to have eloped

II is believed that Dfunfmond who has
been divorced by two wives and who legally
is still tied to third Wife and the young
woman will sail for Europe. Drummond
and the young woman were accompanied
by a young man named Logan, who seemed
to be guiding them and aiding them to find
shelter in New York. Logan travelled with
the couple from ST. Louis to this city.
Drummond Looks Tired.
Drummond. looking fatigued and not at
all like the pictured youth in the flush of
a romantic elopement, was hailed by a
man who had known him in st. Louis as
he stepped from the train. He would not
answer direct question as to whether he
contemplated another plunge into matri-
mony and when he approached taxi cab
he turned with smile and said, Il don't
happen to be Mr. DrummOnd," and jumped
into the vehicle.
Each Of the three times Drummond has

| Mrs Drummond later filed a bill for
divorce in st. Louis, charging that Drum

money in bucket shops and neglected her
and the children. She said that she was
! hypnotized, when she became Drummond s
wife, and the decree she asked was granted.
| Drummond next eloped with Charlotte

four weeks declaring she had been hyp-

MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2s, 1911.
TIE sRNAToRLAL ELECTION THYs WEEK.

~ N next Wednesday the two houses of the Legislature will meet
w in joint session to elect a successor to United States Senator
John Kean, and in all probability a choice will be made on
that day. Failing in election, It Is the privilege of the Legislature
to meet each day thereafter and take at least one ballot each day.
The candidate chosen will be elected consttut1onany, like all his
predecessors, and will be the choice of the Legislature, not of the
governor. Tomorrow the two houses will vote separately. The ex
traordinary course of the governor In the matter OF the senatorship
has stirred up a public interest of a character to crowd Trenton
with visitors on Tuesday and Wednesday. The indecent and bitter
personal warfare made o the Essex county Democratic candidate,
former Senator Smith, will prompt thousands from city and county
to go to Trenton and make the real voice of the Essex county De-
mocracy audible. Representatives of other counties will have an
impressive exhibition of Essex county Democratic sentiment before
them at Trenton. They are told In a numerousiy signed protest
from manufacturers and business men in this county that the man
ufacturing and business interests of Essex do not want a free
in the national Senate. They are reminded that in the election Of
terial interests, not to the arbitrary will of the executive of the State,
ests nor the interests of party. The humbug of a primary election
time the constitution provides for the election of senators and
under auspices calculated to bring senatorial elections into public
contempt as political travesties, has no deception for any man In
the State who does not deliberately want to be deceived. Deoep
ton reacts, as It has In this case. Exposure has shown the hands
of the intriguing men engaged In 1t, with the master hand of that
stormy petrol of State politics, George L. Record. Democrats have
found lust cause for alarm In the disclosure of secret conferences
by the governor and Record in New York showing where the gov
ernor has sought counsel and where he will get inspiration during
his administration. Governor Wilson has gone to Republican
sources to find Democratic sentiment. This week he will find the
real article In a Democratic assembage at Trenton.

DR.. Woodrow Wilson, late president
of Prinoeton University and now Gov
n Of New Jersey, has been one of
those collegiate professors who are
against pensions to the veterans of the
Civil War. All the same, he has applied
for q pension from the Carnegie Foun-
dalton. which gives pensions to profess
sors after a certain number of years Of
service. His application Is naturally
making q good deal OF comment, with
his friends and the professors as a class
claiming that the pension Is desired
more for Its honor than for its Pc
cuniary value. Some OF the doctors
chickens came home to roost In his op-
ponents pointing out hat he Is not en-
titled to a pension while he is receiving
q good salary as Governor of the State.
This seems TO be on all fours with
the arguments in the case of the Civil
War pensioners. OF course, we q say
with regard to DR.. Wilson what we
have said about thousands Of other
pensioners who have been attacked by
the pension-hating press, that his
pension has nothing whatever to do
with whatever money he may be now
receiving or about to receive. The PEN
sion comes from something that he has
earned in the past. At the same time,
We cannot refrain from asking how
more is a mar entitled to a pen-
who served a period of years in
the comfortable berth of a professor
at a fine salary than a man who put
in three or four years carrying a
musket in the war and doing all the
awful drudgery and mourning all the
dangers that a soldier In the ranks
had to undergo In serving his coun-
tryf

THE LEGISLATURE AND THE WATER-sNAl

oTTnHE State Legislature should at once adopt the suggestion Of
memoriaHzing Congress In opposition to the carrying out of the
purpose of the secretary of war to override the State law and
State policy In regard to water conservation by forcing compliance
with the project of placing water mains under the Kill Won kull TO
supply Staten Island with New Jersey water. 1t is evident enough
that Secretary Dickinson is under the influence of the financial in
terests that own the New Jersey Securities Company, the holding
company of the East Jersey and other private water companies that
seek to control New Jerseys watersheds and water supply. These
interests are centred in New York city and it was through their in
Auence that the New York city authorities entered into a contract
with the Hudson Water Company and continued 1t indefinitely for
a water supply for Richmond borough, which the borough does not
need. The disguise of that contract, hiding the real purpose of the
water company's schemes, has now been stripped off. We know now
why the company proposes to lay mains large enough to supply half
u million population and we know that the water supply which is
sought for is surface water in the watershed and not subsurface
water from wells. The State is confronting a veritable conspiracy
and 1t should be met at the doors of Congress.

THe dREATEsT BeNEFAc71oN IN HISTORY.

TT T is evident that the $25 1000 which Andrew Carnegie has
given to the great scientific institution for research and investi-
CATION which bears his name does not end his benefaction in that
direction. OF all of the $202,000000 that Carnegie has given away
for public objects the best investment by far for humanity is his en-
dowment of the Carnegie Institution. Since the original gift by Mr..
Carnegie the scope of the great work laid out has broadened. The
institution now employs 500 scientists in forty different countries
and maintains fifty separate plants of all kinds. Ten ships ON the
ocean fly it's pennant. All these great agencies could to good purpose
use much more money than the present fund allows, while there are
departments Of research and investigation Is yet untouched. Mr..
Carnegie lis conscious of these facts and as his heart is more In the
work of the institution than in anything else in which he has in
terested himself, there is reason to believe that he will at least
double his endowment before he dies, justly feeling that he has
given to the world the greatest benefaction in all history.

why Mulct the County More .

To the EDITOR of the Evening Star:
The fact that the city of Newark
will ask for bids on city bonds at 4 per
cent. interest, while the Board OF
County Freeholders in their recent Is
sues of county bonds have agreed to
pay AZ per cent. strikes many people
as peculiar.
1t is a strange situation, to say the
least. Surely, II the city can dispose
of bonds paying 4 per cent. interest the
county can do the same. Why the tax
payers should be required to pay an
extra half per cent. interest for county
improvements is something that needs
investigation. TAXPAYER.

WOULD HoosE DAKzs,s SUCCESSOR:

oTTa HERE Is a question In Hudson county as to the successor OF
the late Robert Davis as the Democratic leader, and George
L. Records newspaper, the Journal, of Jersey City, is looking
around for the man to take the leadership, Mr.. Records paper
describes the leader to be selected. "Te will be q leader of a new
type." says the Journal; "that is, If he hopes to be a permanent
fixture in politics. The old system of leadership is gone Ev1-
IDENTIFY Record has the man in his eye. He Is to be a man of his
own type, and if he is not, then, MI. Record warns. hin, he won't
be a permanent fixture In politics" But it would seem that Record is
undertaking q big contract. 1t is true that he has succeeded in
dominating the Democratic State administration and has a good
vantage ground for shaping Democratic legislation at Trenton as
we'll as influencing State appointments. But Hudson county is a
different proposition. Record is better known there than elsewhere,
and when he sets up 10 select a successor for Robert Davis he dis
plays more andacity than either his. friends or his enemies ever
gave him credit for.

A Matter of Musicians.

A Matter OF MusIcinubs
To thu Editor Of the Evening Star:
On Tuesday last there appeared In
the public press of this city an article
with reference to the suit of the Inde-
pendent Musical Union against Musi-
clans Union, local No. 16. I am a MEM
Der of the Independent Union and want
the public to know that we are IN the
fight to stay or until the matter Is
finally disposed of by the courts, and
we propose to have the matter brought
to q final determination as speedily az
possible. We are all, that is. the mem-
bers of our Independent Union, citi-
zens of the United States and Of this
State, and believe that we are entitled
to protect our rights, n that is why
we started this suit. We have been
constantly interfered with by Local No.
16, and all because we have refused TO
join their ranks and pay them high
priced initiation fees inc dues. We
have confidence enough in the courts of
this State and know that our rights
and interests will be properly protected
if we are in the right, as we know we
are.
