DEMOCRATS CAN'T agree
ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE OVER
COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS.
democrats are Divided as Well as Re-
publican insurangents and Requ-
'ars-Make Things Lively.

washington. d. G. April 27.-Sena-
tors of every political shade were ac-
tive. preparing for the strugyl which
may take place on the senate floor to-
morrow. The republican factions are
at odds yer the demands made by the
insurgents and rejected by the major
lty of he committees and the demo-
Gratis likewise are dissatisfied with the
assignments said to have been given
them by minority steering committee.
The republican slate will be pre-
scented at a caucus called for 3 D. m..
today while the democrats will con
sldcr the slate at Il party caucus called
Tor 1880 Il. III. tomorrow.
Although a further concession was
made to the progressive republicans by
the senate committee on committees
the executive session OF the committee
broke up abruptly today with the an
n"unccment by the progressives tina
they would appeal to Il caucus to be
held later today n if necessary to
the open senate tomorrow.
The concession made was the selec-
ton OF Sen. Jonathan Bourne, jr.. for
a place on the committee on apprOpri-
atiOnS.
When today'S session in the house
ends 1t is probable the lower branch of
congress will have covered the first
stages toward an enlargement of it's
because of the addition OF
forty new representatives. The reap
p%ortiunment bill. under consideration
and side-tracking the free list measure
for the moment. provides for an in
crease from 391 to ABB.

Equitable Division of Relics.

the Editor of the Evening star:
Now that the Maine has been raised
let us consider what shall be lone with
the old guns and relics that are sure
to be demanded by many municipali-
ties. 1t is evident hat every town
would be proud to have some relic of
the Inflated ship, and I am sure that
there will be many debates as to who
should receive certain tokens.
In the STAR 1 noticed that West
Hudson has already appealed for
one of the guns. This shows that all
the suburbs are alert and wish to have
a small remembrance of the good old
battleship on which so many heroes
lost their lives. But there is a grave
question as to how the division of the
relics is to be made. There will surely
be some city that will be offended in
the division. and l believe there ought
to be a committee chosen who shall
see that all is done fairly and leave no
room for criticism. Let our Congress-
men see that we get some relic and let
him make application for 1t soon.

Find. skeeter. Too Busy.

To the Editor of the Evening star:
While it Is all right to declare war on
the house-fy the advice to whack these
pests 1 hope will be more fruitful
of result thar the war long ago de-
clared upon their still more pestiferous
brethren, the "skeeters."
Much has been said and written
about this latter product and its pros
pective determination, but like the
poor he is still with us. AS a matter
of fact. in the Roseville section. where
l live, the 'skeeter' exerts an exasper-
ating amount of energy, and with
highly developed s%anguinary propensi-
ties hat appear to excel the old-time
Newark meadow product, which, as
local history records, once stung a
thick-skinned negro to death. This
seasons crop seems to have developed
most remarkable cunning. 1 know this
because 1 saw a bunch of "skeeters"
yesterday old enough to know better
and strong enough to do otherwise, sly
ly perch upon the back of the black
family cat and cling to it until the
screen door was opened, and so got in
astride. then like the birds in the pie
began to sing. B. w. r.

MAYOR HINCK AND BLOOMFIELD.

TT T seems a pity that during all the long years the various sewer
age commissions and boards of trade and other civic bodies
struggled with the great problem of Passaic valley sewerage
they never had the benefit of the advice Of Mayor Ernest G. Hinck,
of Montclair, who only popped up in the affair after everything,
presumably, had been settled, the plans all made, all outside diff
culties removed and the commission ready to proceed with its work.
Mayor Hinck, 50 to speak, came into the controversy by the second
story. Unsupported, he helped to promote a foreign patented sew
age disposal process and invaded the territories of two neighbor
municipalities and secured options on land as a site. Intent
upon the ruin of the labors of fifteen years, he didn't anic-
ipate obstacles. He was quite surprised when they arose
surprised and panied. The mayor cannot comprehend why
Bloomfield should make objection. He tells Bloomfield so
in a carefully written letter. Bloomfield is allowed to use her
own territory, in common with Montclair and East Orange and
Glen Ridge and perhaps Orange, for the disposal of her sewage
Why in the name of commonsense should she object, since, prob
ably the cost to Bloomfield of disposing of her sewage would be
less? a few prospective dollars saved should fully compensate
Bloomfield for any possible nuisance and for property depreciation.
But the riddle remains why Mayor Ehnck so resoutely abstains
from entertaining any idea of a sewage disposal works in his own
town #F

WAR NEWS OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

June 90. 1851, fell on Sunday, and the
Newark Daily Advertiser, now the
STAR, did not appear, out on the fol-
lowing day it published the following
concerning the war situation of June
%:
Sunday appears to have been fixed
upo by the rebels for their attack, but
the stupendous arrangements of the
government probably prevented it.
Commodore Vanderbilt has offered all
the steamships of the Atlantic and Pa
cifc Steamship Company to the gov
eminent, to be paid for at such rate
as any two commodores of the United
States Navy n Commodore Stockton
may decide upon as a proper valuation.
If the government is not willing to
purchase the Vanderbilt on these terms
the commodore expresses his readiness
to hand her over as a gift to the
country"

Indorses Free Ice Fund.
Editor of the Evening Star.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t was with much pleasure that j
read the letters sent to the STAR by
eminent clergymen In which they in
dorse it's Free Ice and Outing Fund.
Their words of commentator should
sink deep into the hearts of every one.
1t is not enough. however, that the
words should sink into hearts, but their
hands should sink into pockets and
open them wide enough to make them
disgorge some of their superfuous
cash. For, as the old saying is, words
without deeds amount to nothing.
So, 1 think, the laymen who love their
pastors and know how little of earthly
good is possessed by many should let
the words be followed by deeds. We
all know that in this great and grow
ing city. prosperous though it is, such
a fine charity as that backed by the
STAR needs every spare cent 1t can
get. c. B. A.

Danger In Spoiled Food.

Danger In Spoiled Food.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
1 believe no better work can be done
by the press than to warn the public
of the danger existing from p~artaking
of foods not properly preserved and
of the necessity of utilizing canned
goods as soon as possible after opening
the can. Scientific experiments have
determined time and time again that
numerous articles of food when not
kept in a hygienic condition readily
deteriorate SO as to become poisonous
substances.
Statistics show that since the enact
ment of the pure food law there have
been 26,076 cases of ptomaine poison
ing, LOGS of which were fatal. Such
distressing conditions will continue to
prevail as long as consumers do not
heed the warning of the danger exist
ing in consuming foods not kept In a
hygienic condition. FL. l.. ii.

oONY OTH1NG like it in history for magnifcence,n says John
I'M Hays Hammond, our envoy at the coronation of their
majestes. 1T beggars description John Hays Ham
mond had good opportunities for observation, for he was one of the
few elect. But after the feetng show is over and England reflects
upon it all there must come a revulsion of feeling from the enthusi-
asm with which this medieval extravaganza, far exceeding any for
mer one, was attended. The drift of human thought is toward the
amelioration of the hard conditions of life for the masses and away
from the mere vanities. England has sore problems to solve, and
she needs all her financial resources for their solution, in which is
involved the fate of the British Empire. She needs to be serious in
facing these problems. The anachronism of the pageantry of this
week, with it's lavish extravaganza and vain show, has made dan
gerous contrasts with the poverty and Indebtedness of the British
Isles. Tho spectacles of the week are impressed on the minds of
hundreds of thousands of the discontinued. 1t has revealed to
them the luxury of the palaces, with their enormous excess of
wealth, as compared with the sitting tenements and novels of the
English poor. If the socialist propaganda is not greatly advanced
in Great Britain by the events of the coronation the imagination Of
the British proletariat is dull indeed.

JUDGE LANNING'S DECISION.

cTTa HE decision in the case of the Du Pont Powder Company,
Ii declaring it an illegal combination in restraint of trade and
ordering it to be dissolved, was read by Judge William NJ.
Lanning, of the United States Circuit Court. Judge Lannngs
judicial career began in 1904 when he succeeded the late Andrew
Kirkpatrick as judge of the United States District Court. In May,
1909, he was elevated to the bench of the United States Circuit
Court. In the District Court Judge Lannings qualities as a jurst
became conspicuous and pointed him out for the higher court. The
circuit comprises New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. For
many years none of the three circuit judges was taken from New
Jersey. 1t was remarked when the circuit judgeship became vacant
that by far the greater amount of business for the court originated
In New Jersey by reason of the large number of highly capitalized
corporations and trusts incorporated under the New Jersey law.
1t was essential, therefore, that at least one member of the court
should have a familiar knowledge of the New Jersey laws. Judge
tanning has filled the bill admirably. And in the case of the Du
Pont Powder Company he prepared and delivered one of the most
important opinions in the history of trust prosecution.

SENATE FOCUSES PUBLIC INTEREST.

S1S HE American public can now settle itself down to watch the
proceedings in the Senate at Washington. The House has
enacted all the principal measures on its program and the
Democratic majority has displayed a generalship and judgment
that have COMPOUNDED the Republican leaders. There is much more
for the House to do and much work is demanded of it, but the
House will have plenty of time, for the Senate will be fully occupied
until the fall. The Senate will henceforth focus public interest. The
issues before the Senate plainly are vital to the very existence of
the Republican party organization. They find the Republican ma
jority in the Senate divided and impotent as a majority, with Re
publican party control a thing of the past. There is no Senate
control. The cool arrogance with which the Senate was ruled by
the Aldrch "old guard" is gone, and with it, too, the legend of
senatorial courtesy, which got a bad blow when the finance com.
mittee was ordered to report the wool bill. All this is a new and
amazing spectacle to the American people, accustomed as they are
to a lesurely Senate, always under control, always strictly adhering
to its dignifed formulas and always Republican. What shall be
finally developed out of this anomalous situation? What will its
effect be on the national conventions and elections next year? How
will Mr.. Taft emerge from this senatorial melee?

Being a frequent visitor to the City

lines concerning the inefficiency of the

times when hurry calls come In the
one automobile ambulance is out n
the caller is referred to the police.
Many cases have refused to be taken
in a police patrol to the hospital, and
on account of the delay in waiting for
the ambulance have become seriously
i'll, where prompt attention would have
saved them. 1t certainly seems funny
that a city like Newark can afford to
keep only one ambulance at the hos

three. H. s.
