of what might easily have had to pay.
How does this compnis with what

The jeweler gives a list Of seven or
binary cases of repairing taken from
his usual run of work. These are: Re-
pairing case; handspring; staff jewel;

The work was all done in 204 minutes,

IN BOOKLET just issued by the New Jersey Federation OF
f7\ Womens Clubs aims to establish in New Jersey communl
flies suitable celebrations of the Fourth of July in substitu.
tion for the traditional one. The volume cites the experiences of
cities that have adopted new and popular forms of celebration and
gives assistance TO those who desire TO arrange suitable pageantry
in finding in the treasures of New Jersey history scenes for appro
pirate representation. Pageants illustrative of local and State MS
tory are alike entertaining and instructive, and Newark has a his
tory replete with events and scenes that can be strikingy repro
duced in public pageants, Five years hence the 2oOth anniversary
of the foundation of Newark will be celebrated. Would IT not be a
good idea to begin this year a series of historical pageants on the
Fourth of July illustrative of the various periods of Newark's his
tory? On July A 1915, the history of our city can be presented
complete in a splendid spectacle that will attract q multitude of
visitors. Fourth of July can be we'll utilized in giving to the popu-
lation, object lessons in local history and in a way for popular enter

A MURDERER QUICKLY CONVICTED.

9TH HE prompt conviction of Antonio Luciano of the deliberate
murder of Michael Marc in the victims shack in West Or
ange last month is a creditable exhibition of criminal justice.
The evidence of guilt was conclusive and it was cinched by the
Acknowledgements of the murderer. The motive for the crime was
money and the provocation was the refusal of the victim TO give a
dollar to the murderer. The wanton and brutal character of the
crime shows that Luciano is of the criminal class, and probably
his career has been stained by other great crimes. The victim IN
The case was a hard working and thrifty Italian, a credit to his
native country and a benefit to his adopted country. There is an
alarming number of such criminals as Luciano who prey on their
compatriots and resort to murder if they are denied. The electric
chair might well work overtime to rid society of them.

Says, .aLet prisoner. Make Roads,,

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
l read in the STAR an article in re-
gard to the proposition to establish a
brush factory in the Caldwell peni-
Tertiary. In other words. they are go
ing to bring prison competition into
contact with free labor competition,
which | think is a serious mistake and
should be frowned upon by every en-
ployer of labor as well as every labor
ing man, especially of the skilled
trades, and brush making is a skilled
trade.

To tie Editor OF the Evening Star:
I wish you would print this answer
to "Kearny Avenues plea for permits
sion to shoot dogs on sight. 1t is quite
evident he was very much annoyed at
something or leaving home. perhaps
poor coffee or some part of his break
fast, so he felt a thirst for blood and
decided the much prosecuted dog would
be the safest victim. Certainly had the
business he was going to been. very
much on his mind he would not have
found time to count twenty-five dogs

to cultivate a more cheerful frame OF

firearms. AT present he is safer with

THE LITTER IN THE STREETS.

MNNE of the features of a city beautiful, or OF any wel-ordereu
w city, is that of streets free from paper scraps and other
debris. The order was given out several times in the past to
patrolmen to use their efforts to stop the httering of the streets with
paper. Storekeepers and others who put out paper in boxes or
permit sweepings TO go into the street were to be warned and re-
ported. There is evidence enough on our principal streets now
that police duty in these respects is neglected, for they are It times
unsightly with paper earehssy thrown away. Loose paper also
dsfgures the parks. The advent of summer weather should be
attended by fresh instructions to patrolmen to stop the littering
of the streets.

why Not a Compromised

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A good deal of attention has been
directed to the paving of Broad and
Market streets. The three big business
mems associations desire wood block
in fact, they have made an ultimatum,
wood block or nothing" But the au-
thorities seem to favor granite.
This question is interesting to all
who have to work on either Broad or
Market street, because of the noise
problem. With the present disgraceful
paving, YER wagon and truck jolts
and bumps along with about as much
noise as 1t is possible for a vehicle to
make This is a particular ~disadvan-
tage to every office building where a
certain amount Of quietness is neces-
sary.
AT the joint meeting OF the three as
sociations held Tuesday one speaker
sal that the laying OF granite block
on Broad street would almost ruin il
as a street for big Office buildings for
the next twenty years. simply on the
score of excessive noise.
since all NeWark is more or less ill.,
terested in the two principal thorough
fares. and since a comparatively
smooth and noiseless pavement Is SO es-
~sential, it seems only just that some
agreement should be reached between
the W opposing elements which will
give Broad and Market streets some
pavement that will put them on a PAL
with New York streets in respect to the

DOESN'T PROPOSE TO RESIGN.

IT'D RESIDENT DIAZ won't resign. 1t is evident now that he had
no such intention when he gave his assurance a few days
ago that he would yacate Office when peace should be re-
stored. He was equivocating. and the instinct of the insurrectos
detected the deceit. Elected by unfair and even violent means,
Diaz holds onto his office and talks about giving his blood to
his country. Under the circumstances his retirement would be
more logical. AS long as Diaz retains the presidency there Will be
civil war in Mexico. But the present aspect of affairs looks to a
compelled retirement at an early day. The army OF Madero may
be in possession of the City of Mexico in q month.

MULBERRY STREET FOR GREATER TRAVEL.

XIV Office given to the Board of Works yesterday by the general
I'M manager of the Public Service Corporation that cars would
be run from the Beleyille avenue carbarns through Null
berry street, beginning Monday, assures some relief to traffic on
Broad street. Mulberry street has heretofore been a neglected
asset of the trolley service. Connected by rail with Beleville ave
nue. it can be made an important thoroughfare for travel, and the
change, when made, will have due effect upon property values in
that street.

Fl LONd-DELAYED VEST SIDE BATH-HOUsE

oN HE question of the erection of the new public bath on the
west side is as yet unsettled. 1t has been pending for an
unreasonably long time. Tomorrow the Board of Works will
inspect the two sites proposed, and there is some hope that one or
the other will be decided upon. This long delay, attributable to
various reasons that should have no weight in such a matter, will
probably be followed by delay in making the contract and in the
work to be done, so the people of the west side may have no benefit
Of the bath house until some time after the November election.

NOW A WAR OF GOVERNMENTS IN MEXICO.

ca HERE are now Two governments in Mexico, with two pres1-
dents and two cabinets. If the Madero partisans are TO be
believed, Diaz holds Office by no better tenure than Madero'
the provisional president, as the election that gave him the pres
dency was a farce. But recognition of the Madero government by
ontside nations cannot 90 any further than the rights of belliger-
ency. When Madero becomes installed in The capital and the Dmz
regime is forced out il will be time for Washington to consider the
claims of Madero for full recognition.

A COSTLY ABANDONMENT.

O1Ta HE abandonment of the intention of the Board of Works TO
widen Mechanic street is likely to prove a costly move for
he city. If Mechanic street is ever TO be made u thorough
fare for traffic the time to do the work is now. If the improvement
shall be delayed until the necessities of the city shall compel 1T the
cost is not unlikely TO be up in the millions and perhaps prohlbltlye.
The ineptitude that has characterized so much of the management
of public improvements in this city was never more strikingy shown
than in this matter of Mechanic street widening, What can we
expect in the way of meadow and dock improvement from this same
management?

The drama, "Ann of Old Sal.
en- to be presented by the
Senior Glass 1911 of Wahpeton
High School on the 26th of

charge of witchcraft, leads
Roger to doubt Ann and he de.
cides to marry another, Ann is
condemned to the ordesls by

nicely. Interwoven with this

corning Ruth, the quaker and
the tr;als and doings of Ezekiel
Brown, who tries to win the
