CONGRESS MAY PROBE

Earning Girl from Dance.

WASHINGTON, April 1~5.--Represent-
alive Korbly. of Indiana, has written
a letter TO Secretary of the Navy

envy at Annapolis. lie wants to know
how 1t Is that the peculiar social sys'
TEN at the academy makes unwelcomt
at a social function an estimable and
talented girl who happened TO be earn
ing her own living. His inquiry has to
do with the case OF Miss Mary H.. Beers,
the paid companion of n naval officers
wife, who was givap to understand that
her presence at the academy hops was
not desired,
Mr.. Korhly has received a letter
from former Acknowledgement Miller,

If reports are correct" said Mr..
Miller, IAN attempt has been made TO
exclude from social life at tho academy
a respectable young woman because
she was earning her own living, II
this Is true l think the occurrence can
not be rebuked too severely. and II
seems to me that not another dollar
should be voted by Congress for tho
support of that institution until every

the navy, is sent Off to sea duty"

twelve feet from the street, which is
traversed daily by thousands of per-

Romano, of 527 Monroe street. He left
his home Wednesday saying he was
going outdoors to play. He did not re-
turn home at night and his parents
notified the police, which sent out a
general alarm for the little fellow. Yes

SOLICITOR DECIDES HIS
ORDINANCE is DEFECTIVE

EGG HARBoR CITY, April ia
novel situation has arisen here among
city officials, who may be compelled to
take part in a threatened suit. In go
ing over his work as official chimney
inspector Christ Heinsohn found a
dangerous defective fiue in the Distler
building. used as a moving picture par
Tor and crowded every night, and at
once advised Fire Marshal Weinberg,
his superior. Weinberg learned that
the building was owned by H. L.
Hamilton. who happens to be city so-
licitor, and notified him to have the
fue placed in repair at once.
This order was neglected and SO the
chief sent q communication to the
council. After a heated debate the
matter was referred to Solicitor Ham
ilton for his opinion. He claimed that
the ordinance. which he drew and un-
der which the department was man
aged, was defective. The fire marshal
now threatens to compel Mr.. Hamilton
to have the chimney repaired and as
city solicitor he will be called upon
to prosecute the charge against him
self for the city. while he will also be
the defendant. The city authorities are
in a ~quandary.

CITY BUDGET EXHIBIT
FOR HOBOKEN MONDAY.

HOBOKEN, April 1b.-For the first
time In the history of any city in New
Jersey, community needs will be graph
ically shown at a budget exhibit
which. opens on Easter Monday,
and taxpayers will be able for the
first time to learn the truth about city
government, and will thus be afforded
an opportunity to influence the budget
for 1911. All the schemes popular in
advertising, such as charts, diagrams,
pictures. etc, have been used by the
Board OF Trade giving this exhibit to
show not only the work of the city de-
~partments. but to emphasize ways In
which each department may be broad
ened to meet the needs of all of Hobo
ken's 10000 people.
There is d very complete exhibit on
medical inspection and the work Of
school nurses.
W years ago 102 babies under p
years of g died during the summer
months. With the Robert l.. Stevens
fund and the Christ Hospital milk dis
pensary carrying on an active CAM
paign against unnecessary deaths baby
mortality for the same period 1910 was
only 6S, a sufficient argument, certain
ly, that money thus spent is well spent.
Hoboken's Board Of Health is going to
ask this ear for $1,000 to enable 1t to
babies lives and to inspect milk.

COUNTY BOARDS
To CHOOSE STATE
Committeeman
Geran Measure Amended, Pre-
venting Primaries from ChoOs'
ing Party Representatives.
lFrom . staff eorrssnOnasnt.l

TRENTON, April 15.-While %undoubt-
edly the most important provision added
by the senate to the Geran primary
and election bill is. the clause which
provides that an illiterate voter, or one
who says that he is i~lliterate. may have
assistance in the polling booth to help
him mark the complicated ballot, an
examination of the amended measure
shows that other important changes
have been made.
State committeeman are not to be
elected at the primaries, as the bill
provided when it came from the hands
of George L. Record, and as IL still
provided when 1t passed the House.
AS the proposed act now stands, 1t
says that "at the September primaries
of the year wherein a governor Is to De
elected, a member of the State COM
mittee of each of said political parties
shall be elected in each county in the
same as herein provided for
the election of chairman of county COM
mittee."
The section covering the election Of
the chairman of county committee reads
as follows:
1.-THE chairmen of the county COM
mittee of each of the said political
Pptt LIVE qua Nv VAN@tNo W
thereof annually on the fourth Tuesday
In September of each year"
Election of Committeeman.
This leaves the election of the State
committeeman up to the county COM
mitteemen, the am manner In which
the Republican State committeeman
are now chosen. Democratic State
committeeman have been elected by
the delegates chosen eoch four years
to the state convention that names
the delegates at large to the %presiden-
tial convention of the party.
The Geran bill, as redrafted in the
Senate committee on elections. will
probably be the first business of im-
p~ortance to be considered in the As
sembly Monday night. The Senate
made 251 changes in the measure as
1t came from the House. When the
lower chamber concurs in these. the
work of only a few minutes, if there Is
no dissent, the bill will be rushed to
the Governor for his signature.

HILLS ACTION NO SURPRISE.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE resignation
of Ambassador Hill has created no sur
prise in diplomatic circles. Rumors
that the German government was un-
friendly toward Mr.. Hill have been
current for some weeks. although there
has been ascribed no reason for the
change of feeling.
The relations Of the ambassador to
the kaiser have always been correct,
but never intimate. The latter fact
has been generally ascribed to his ma
jesty's objection to the appointment

CITIZENS OF PLAINFIELD
WANT AUTO ENGINES

PLAINFIELD, April 15.-The coun-
cilmanic fire committee will meet early
next week and a number cf citizens
who have been invited to attend will
present arguments to show the advan-
tage of installing automobile apparatus
in the city instead of purchasing horses,
The recent experience of the city in
securing a team Of horses in New York,
one of which died here, has had a ten
dency to agitate the question. There
seems to be no doubt but that the city
will have to pay for the dead animal
and compromise with the owners for
the live me.
1t is argued by thoughtful citizens
that with an automobile apparatus
more territory could be covered n in
quicker time than with horses, and it
would probably mean a great saving
not only in the cost of horses, but in
property.

BELIEVE PENNSY WILL GET

1t Would Thereby Also Acquire
Entrance to Detroit.

NEW YORK, April 15.-It is sus-
pected and by some confidently believed
that the Pennsylvania system is to get
the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton. which
would thus give it a direct route from
the coal fields of Pennsylvania and
Ohio to Delray, the present terminus
of the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton. 1t
would also get a long wanted entrance
to Detroit. Mich, either over some
established line or by building one of
it's own, and access to a number of
towns in Ohio and Michigan of more
or less Importance.
For years the PENNSYLVANIA has been
ambitious to reach Detroit with its own
rails, or others which it could control
in order to get some of the heavy ton
mage that move out of that city. For
instance the j. b. Ford company and
the Michigan Alkali works with four
teen large plants ship annually from
5000 to $1,000 tons. While the ship
ments of other smaller concerns aggre-
gate hundreds of tons.
