Brooklyn lock to Maxim Park has
been built several years, largely
through the efforts of the Byram

Scheme and Appoints Committee.
The project of purchasing lot
and building upon it a club house
for Loantaka council, Royal Arcanum,
has been voted upon favorably by
the lodge and committee appointed
to make further Investigations and
report back to the organization. The
members of the committee are Will
lana II. Day, John Ritter and Alder
maS c. Raymond Shelley. An option
hasV cen taken on a plot in the heart
of I've town that has a frontage of
forty-three feet and is 110 feet deep.
The committee will endeayor to se-
cure the amount needed to purchase
the lot in which case the building
project will be pushed forward. 1t is
planned to build a building almost
the fun size of the lot. In the base
ment are to be bowling alleys and
other amusement rooms: The first
floor, to be a few steps up from
the street, will contain o lodge room
club rooms for the Arcanians and a
room for the ladies. The upper
floor will be devoted to a big dance
hall, measuring forty feet by eighty
or ninety and twice as big as any
other hall in Morristown. II win be
rented out by the lodge for dances
exhibitions and entertainments an(
if provided will fill need that has
existed in Morristown for many
years. The whole proposition, it is
thought, will cost about $4,000.

MANY CONTESTS
FOR COMMITTEE
National Republican Com
mittee Will Meet June 6
to Decide Them.

New York. May 9.-The republican
national committee will meet in Chi
cago Thursday afternoon June to
decide contests among delegates to the
republican national convention. The
call for the meeting was issued today
by William Hayward. secretary Of the
committee. This will be the earliest
meeting held for many years by the
committee and will give it twelve days
to consider contests before the con-
vention opens on June IS.
Indications that there will be an un-
usual number of contests this year,
Mr.. Hayward said. had been consider
ed by Victor Rosewater. the commit
tees acting chairman. and himself in
sending out the call for the early
meeting of the committee. A few
contests already have been brought
officially before the committees Of
f1cers and many more are expected, he
said. before the expiration of the time
limit for filing contests on May 20,
twenty days before the convention.
Mr.. Hayward also announced that
he would place before the committee
a plan upon which he has been work
ing for some time that will affect the
representation of the south in repub-
lican national conventions. The prin-
cipal objection to plans previously
suggested. he said. was the elimination
of the congressional district as the
unit representation. The plan he
would submit to the committee would
change the basis of representation, he
said. and still retain the congressional
district as the unit.
Following is the official call for the

MIGRATION Of
NEGRO OEPL0RED
Tendency is to Drift From
the Country to the
Cities.

Kansas City. Mo-. May 9.-Increas-
ing migration Of the negro from rural
country to cities is deplored by the
report of the committee on home and
foreign missions of the African Meth
odist Episcopal church which was
read at the afternoon session of the
general conference which is meeting
here. So great has this movement be-
come in recent years that the church
home missionaries are being transfer
red from the rural sections to the
cities.
Formerly our greatest hope for
the numerical strength of the church
was in the south, but not so now"
says the report. The reason is that.
because of increasing unfavora BILE
conditions existing there. our people
are forced to seek homes elsewhere,
largely in the cities of the east. west
and northwest.
An attempt to remove from Office
the chief secretary-elect almost pre-
cipitated the trouble on the floor of
the conference in the afternoon. A
resolution was offered by Rev. E. A.
Williams of Alabama asking the re-
moval of DR.. w. d. johnson of
Georgia.
In this he charged that Bishop H.
M Turner was unfair and biased on
counting the votes on the first day of
the conference when DR.. johnson
was elected. DIR. ]. G. Lowe of Ar
kansas Immediately arose and moved
that the resolution be tabled. This
finally was done.

Blanket Application to Pre-
vent Steel Trust From
Destroying Papers.
Injunction SUSTAINED As
TO STEEL AND WIRE COMPANY
Action of that Subsidiary in Destroy
ing Papers and Records Before
Held Sufficient to Justify Granting
or Injunction as to that Concern.

Trenton, n j.. May 9.-An appli-
cation in United States district court
here for an injunction to restrain the
United States Steel corporation and
a number Of It's subsidia~v concerns
from the destruction Of State I,;-:d
papers which might be usea
dence in the suit of the government
for the dissolution of the steel cor
poration was dismissed in per
curiam injunction today by Judges
Burlington and Mcpherson. except as
to the American Steel and Wire COM
pany. one Of the steel corporations
subsidiary concerns.
The opinion. after speaking of the
application says:
mo evidence is offered that such
destruction is threatened. and 1t hard
ly need be said that evidence Is essen
tal before any man may be either
be in substance criminal interfer-
ence with the course of justice.
THE motic4l is supported almost
wholly by the fact that after certain
prosecution in the southern district
of New York. came to an end. a num-
her of papers belonging to the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire company which
to the government for use in such
prosecution and had been returned to
its possession, were destroyed by one
of its officers:
While we are satisfied that this
destruction was without evil intent the
fact remains that the destruction took
place and that is reason why so far
las the Steel and Wire company is
&lncerned, the restraining order pre-
vicously granted should be continued"
The opinion then goes on to say
that 1t is not shown that the other
defendants were in any respect con-
nected with its acts and that without
evidence. the court can not grant the
present petition. The petition, there
fore, Is refused except as to the Steel
and Wire company. but the govern
ment is given permission to renew the
petition If at any time counsel shall
deem such step as necessary and
desirable
