on popular clamor contained in the
constitution.
No lawyer of reputation and in
tegrity will accept place on the ju-
dietary, said Judge Stimson. if he
knows he is subject to recall any
time popular clamor demands it. A
judge OF honor and principle, said
Judge Stimson, wants to act entirely
independent Of outside influences. He
wants to be uninfluenced by popular
clamor.
The people. according to Judge
Stimson, get just what they are fit
to get. II they paid more attention
to public matters, he said. they would
not need a weapon like the recall to
keep the men whom they elect to Of
flee in the straight and narrow path
OF honesty and duty The public, said
Judge Stimson, pay no attention to
public affairs until election time, and
then they go to the polls and vote
for men whom they know nothing Of.
Vigilance against making mistakes,
the speaker seemed TO think, was
more effective as a weapon for the
people and cheaper one than one
which strikes out to repair mistakes.

RECALL FAILURE
WHEN TRIED IN
ANCIENT TIMES.
Judge Stimson Addresses Congrega-
ton at Grace M. E. Church.

Denver, Nov. eff the recall had
been in effect during the Civil war
era, Abraham Lincoln would have
been recalled as president of the
United States. according to Judge E.
c. Stimson in an address delivered
last night before the congregation Of
the cracs ,, Methodist Episcopal
church on "The Recall" Judge Slim
son spoke of the attacks made on
Lincoln before and during the war
and how strong popular elamor was
against him.
The recall, said Judge Stimson, is
not new thing. 1t was used by the
ancient republics and proved fail
ure. The constitution of the United
States, he said, was the result of ripe
experience. It was written by wise
men with the view Of giving the peo-
pie time to deliberate. The recall, he
said. would destroy all the checks

GOVT CANCELS
LAND TITLES
Forces Northern Pacific to
Give Back 295,000 Acres
# Land

Spokane, Wash, Nov o.-Patents
to 295,000 acres of Yakima Indian
reservation land, valued at approxi-
mately $4,000. 900. and not included
in the present boundary of the re-
serve, which enormously granted to
the Northern Pacific many years ago,
have been Cancelled by the United
States circuit court of appeals.
All this land will go to the In
dians The suit was originally start
ed in January 1907. to cancel the
patent because of an erroneous sur
vey. AS enlarged by this decision,
the new boundry of the Yakima re-
serve will include Mount Adams.
This suit, by which Uncle Sam
will regain possession Of vast ex-
tent of valuable territory is but one
of number that are now pending in
the federal courts, involving the
title to millions of acres of land
which the government maintains, has
been wrongfully taken from the pub
lie domain The decision, coming at
this time, is taken to be signal vic
tory for the government.
The cases against the alleged tim
Der and coal land "grabbers" are
still pending in Washington and
Oregon. II the government is sue
cessful it means the return to the
United States of millions of acres,
which will probably be later opened
to settlement by homesteaders.
Suits are pending against the
Southern Pacific in California involv-
ing. in several cases, almost entire
counties. These lands were granted
to the Southern Pacific when the
road was first built, under alternate
section clauses. When oil was dis
covered the land rightfully should
have been returned to the United
States as mineral land.
Vast fortunes have been taken
from these lands. If the government
is successful in the suits the Southern
Pacific will be called upon to pay
heavy damages, running into the mil
lionsfi and will lose possession of
thousands of acres.

ROOSEVELT TO
DEMAND TRAIN
Not Satisfied With the Plan
of Central Railroad.
Special to The EVENING NEWS.

Roosevelt, Sept. 5:-The sug-
gested new train on the Central
Railroad, sound shore division, leav-
ing New York at 1918 o'clock, Is
supposed to be a concession to pop
ular demand. but it does not meet
the approval Of anyone. A promi-
nent citizen suggests that the com
pany put this train on for the pur-
pose of demonstrating to the Public
Utility Commission that q late train
to Roosevelt will not pay. That is
not the point. The point is wheth-
er or not the railroad company gives
the borough decent travelling facil-
tiles. Whether a particular train
pays or not is of no moment. The
question which will be submitted to
the Public Utility Commission is.
does Central railroad receive from
borough collectively a sufficient sum
of money to Justify the company in
running a late train. Narrowed
down to this issue the railroad com
pany will have to concede all the
demands of the citizens of the Dor
ough.

BURN HOUSE ON
STUMPF FARM
Incendiaries at Work Near
Such's Clay Works.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

- ~ 49,
South Amboy, Sept. 5:--A fire oc-
Cured on the farm on the South
River road near the Such clay
works, known as the Stumpf farm,
and rented by Ernest Nader. Sun
day night about IL o'clock, Mr..
Nader was awakened by the smoke
that filled his room and, jumping
from his bed, he aroused his broth
er-ln-law, the only other occupant
Of the house, and who slept in an
adjoining room. His wife and other
members of his family were away
from home. He then seized his
clothing and threw them out the
window, the smoke being so dense
he thought the stairway was on fire,
he followed out of the window on
the roof of the porch, jumping to
the ground. He then located the
fire in the basement.
With their united efforts and the
assistance of some neighbors they
soon succeeded In extinguishing the
flames, but not until the stairway
was practically burned away and
considerable damage done by the
heat and smoke to the doors and
paint. There is "a window under
the stairway which was opened and
from the appearance where the fire
started, it was plainly the work of
an incendiary. Mr.. Nader has been
very vigorous In the performance of
caretaker of what is known as the
Cook farm across the way and tres
passers' r compelled to give the
place a wide berth. No doubt this
has caused a feeling of enmity
against Nader.

LEONARD NELSON DIED
In SAN FRANCISCO
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the NEWS.
South Amboy, Sept. 5:-Leonard
| Nelson, eldest son of Captain H. Nell
son and brother of Arthur Nelson,
of First street, died and was bu-
ried in San Francisco, Cal, Sunday,
September 3. He was t~wenty-one
years old. Leonard Nelson was
born In South Amboy and spent his
early childhood in this city. While
he was of a retiring disposition, it
was evident even while yet a boy
that there was within him the ambi-
ton to seize the first opportunity
to rise in the world. And IN talking
with him IN the winter Of 1906, he
told the NEWS correspondent that
he thought there were greater OPP
portunities for advancement west
than in the east and when about
eighteen years Of age, in the spring
of 1907, he started west.
Young Nelson's progress, by
strict attention to his business, IA
| miliarizing himself with the calling
he had chosen and a knowledge
| gained by a careful study of the in
tricate and treacherous shores Of the
Golden Gate, his rise was rapid. He
Don secured a pilots license of the
first degree. For the past year he
has risen to the position of Captain
of a steamer plying between San
Francisco and Sacramento, he being
the youngest captain of a steamer
in that section, If not in the United
state.
The Transportation company in
whose employ Captain Nelson was
engaged, deeply regret his death, but
the sorrow is greatest for Captain
Nelson and family of First street.
