revenue cutter Miami began her car
eer as a guardian of the shipping of
the Atlantic coast with two excit-
ing experiences on her maiden voy-
age from Newport News, Va, to Key
West, Fla, her station, where she

When ten miles out off the Charles
ton lightship the Miami sighted the
schooner Blanche H. King, of New

schooner was boarded and her cap
tain reported incipient mutiny among
his crew. The ringleader was placed
IN irons.
Following this the three-masted
schooner H. S. NJ. Bentley. of Nassau,
waterlogged and with her cargo of
humber nearly all adrift was sighted.
The master. his wife and three chill
dren were taken aboard the Miami,

Positions.

BOTH CLAIM PROTECTION
OF CIVIL SERVICE LAWS

Appeal Will Be Taken to Su-
preme Court from Ad-
verse Decision.

{ Though they are serving without
nay. Charles A. Steadman' warden
of the County Hospital for the In
sane. and samuel C. Martin. warden
for the county penitentiary. both re-
fuse to give up their positions, despite
two decisions of the Supreme Court
against them. Since their successors
were appointed on January l, the
BOARD of FreehoIders have refused to
raoognize them. Both contend h a
4hev are protected by civil service,
dasnite the decision of the courts that
4hev were heads of departments II
was on this ground that Benjamin
n. Bailey and Ferdinand Hosp were
appointed to succeed them.
Through County Counsel Benjamin
II. Jones. legal proceedings were IN
stituted to oust both men when they
refused to give UP their jobs. Certi-
orari proceedings were taken to set
inside the action of h State Clvh
Service Commission in placing the
two men wardens in the protected
class of the civil service. While thus

would not certify, as the law re-
uuires, to the payrolls of any n
incumbents. The certiorari action
was based on the contention that
both Martin and Steadman were
heads of departments and were there
fore not entitled to protection which
is accorded only to subordinates. the
Supreme Court upheld this point n
laid down the rule that both wardens
were "ofieers'' in the eyes of the law.
Quo warranto proceedings were also
started by Mr.. Jones to oust the
wardens. They demurred, through
counsel, that quo warranto was not
the proper course The court decided
this week that 1t is the proper method
to test their title to the jobs.
Now the two defendants intend to
take an appeal to the Court of Errors
end Appeals from the decision in the
certiorari proceedings and also con-
tend that the decision that quo war
ranto was the proper procedure to
oust them is decided only rs to that
point and that the merits of the case
are not touched upon in the recent
ruling of the court.
The cases of Martin and Steadman
differ from those of Herbert Walker.
clerk of the county hospital, and OF
Pierre Black, county inspector of
buildings. Successors for them were
appointed by the freeholders on the
,ground that the adoption Of the small
Board of Fseeholders act IN Essex

piled to tMe county. The Supreme
Court held that civil service was not
abolished and as there seems to be no
question but that Black and Walker

ieervice commission as protected en-
iployees their status appears to be
finally determined.

BULL MOOSE WILL
TRY TO C|NCH CITY
At Meeting Tonight Plans for
Stronger Organization vii.
Be Discussed.

Plans for more effective work and
better organization in the various
wards of the city will be discussed
at a meeting of the Progressive
County Committee tonight. Every
effort will be made between now and
next year to bring about effective or
g~anization in the various wards, and
hope is held that the Bull Moosers
will be able to carry the city al the
next election.
The Progressives will have pri-
maries of their own next year, but It
is probable that there will be no
energy expended over contests. 1t is
difficult to see where contests will
develop in an organization so new.
It Is united on principles and would
probably not differ on personalities.
This will allow them to devote all
their effort to the election, which
means more time for organization
and a saving of money. The fact that
there will be Progressive primaries
may also mean that there will be no
contests in the Republican ranks.
which their opponents hope will
lessen interest III fNepuDlicdn polllcS
in the county.
The Progressives claim since cleo
ton that next year will witness not
only big accessions from among those
who voted the Republican ticket last
week. but also many recruits from
the Democratic ranks. They believe
that the demonstration of strength
which they gave in the recent cleo
ton will show to many who voted
the Republican ticket that it is use-
less for them to remain longer in that
party, and that the fact that they
are to remain permanently apart

BIG DEMAND FOR
PROVERD BOOKS
Hundreds of Requests Also for
Back Pictures in Evening
Star Contest.

With the commencement Of another
week of the Proverb Contest con
Quoted by the Evening Star hum
dreds of requests for back pictures
and proverb books are being received
from all over the State. Newarkers
are stimulated in their efforts by the
display of some of the prizes in va
rious store windows throughout the
city. Out-of-towners, on the other
hand, have to exercise their imagi-
nation and c~onjure up the contest
prizes in their minds eye. Thus has
the city man an extra spur to urge
him on to success.
This is the only advantage, If 1t
can be called such, that the resident
of Newark has over the contestant
who lives out of town. Everything
else is equal. There is just as much
chance of the farmers boy winning
the $500 as there is anyone else. For
everything has been done to insure
absolute fairness in the awards. The
Judges, whose names will be an
nounced later, have provided for JUS
tice in their work above all things.
The prizes will go to those who ex-
ercise the most careful judgment and
most competent analysis In their de-
cipherment of the pictures.
Although there are thousands of
persons in the contest the fifty prizes
will probably be awarded only to
those submitting correct and neat an
swers. This necessarily mean that
a great many "slip-shod" persons will
lose their chances of winning prizes
by sending slovenly and incorrect an
swers to the proverb pictures. Many
persons will also make undue haste

Ia getting their answers to the office
and incorrectly quote a proyerb. For
example. Don't count your chickens
before they are Matched" Is the incor-
rect way Of expressing the proverb.
"Never count your chickens before
they are hatched."
If you are not trying for a prize
it is probably because you have q
faint heart" In other words, YOU
think you stand no chance against
SO many others, or you may figure
that you know nothing about prov
cribs anyway"
If any of these reasons re keep
ing you from entering be entirely
assured that they are unworthy. You
do not have to be a proverb expert
to win a prize. The Evening Star
proverb book provides you with all
the knowledge necessary.
