Discussion of planks for the party
platform is becoming more general in
the various headquarters. One of the
missionaries" is James T. Williams,
Jr., formerly a federal Civil Service
Commissioner and named as a dele
gate-at-large from Arizona.
Two particular planks are in Mr..
Williams's programme. One would ex-
tend the civil service to include all
postmasters, collectors of customs and
internal revenue, and practically all
other federal appointees not already
in the classified lists. His other plank
would commit the party to a liberal
irrigation policy.

The first real talk of a dark horse to
be nominated for President by this
convention was started when Senator
Kenyon, speaking for Senator Cum
Minis and the Republicans of Iowa,
said:
ut is obvious to every sane man
that this destructive fight has gone far
enough. To carry it to its logical con
%clusion can mean only one thing-dis-
aster to the Republican party.
Iowa stands ready to present a can
didate who at least has behind him a
harmonious and enthusiastic party in
his own State. The last vestige of op-
position to him was swept away when
Lafayette Young proclaimed himself a
progressive and a Cummins follower.

Chicago.-The stage setting for the

Cummins headquarters was establish
ed in the same hotel that houses the
Taft and Roosevelt workers. The La

from the others.
A direct appeal will be made to

photographic Sidelights or the Convention

The only contest from Indiana
which the Roosevelt committeeman
found had any merit at all was in the
18th in which the Taft delegates were
seated by a vote of Sc to 10.
Senator Dixon, chief of Roosevelt
headquarters, after a talk with Cliff
ford Pinchot and James Rudolph Gar
field, was asked, when is Colonel
Roosevelt coming here" "He is not
coming" declared the Senator en-
phatically.
Committeeman Frank o. Lowden of
Illinois, after the Arkansas cases had
been decided, said: 81 think Gen.
Clayton ought to state whether or not
he put up these contests" The COM
mittee greeted the Generals confu-
sion with a roar of laughter.
No action has been taken as yet by
the President toward selecting the
members of the Resolution Committee.
The President has frowned on
the proposition to take advantage of
the technical points raised against
seating the f~orty-six Roosevelt dele
gates from California, North Dakota
and Oregon.

Curious Writ Issued

A novel action was begun in tho
Court of Chancery, the like of which
has not before been instituted under
the jurisdiction of this court since
1880. Chancellor Walker issued a pa
per called a writ of waste, and though
the action vas begun in the Court of
Chancery, all the subsequent proceed
ings will be heard in the Supreme
Court. The writ was directed to the
sheriff of Bergen County and was is
sued in behalf of John Craven & Son
Company, a Jersey City real estate
concern and vas directed against Mo-
liniari & Co. The defendants are
charged with wasting and destroying
property of the compliments on Di-
vision street, Jersey City, and the writ
requires them to show cause at the
State House, why they should not be
restrained from further destruction of
the property. The defendants have a
lease on the property for a term of
years.

The Taft resolutions intended for in
sertion in the platform will, it is said,
be conservative in tone and make a
feature of a constitutional government
plank in addition to urging supple
mental legislation to the Sherman an

Especial Trenton Correspondence

Especial Trenton Correspendence.)
Trenton.-It looks very much as If
the Newark Board of Education will
have to borrow about S150,000 to meet
maintenance expenses, although it has
upward Of 81, 0 900 in bank. 1t is a
strange state of affairs, but under the
circumstances seems unavoidable. The
money in bank is all set aside for vari-
u specific purposes, and can not, IN
der the existing laws, be used for any
purpose other than that for which 1t
was originally appropriated. There is
a balance due from the State from the
railroad taxes of 1910 of S176, .08.
1t should have been in the hands of
the local board months ago. 1t is lock-
ed up here, and President Taafe and
the board can not get at it, because
of more laws. In the meantime cur
be met. With hundreds of thousands
of dollars in it's Golfers the board must
needs go out and borrow. 1t certainly
does look like a case for a drastic
treatment of scientific management
applied when the next Legislature
meets. Two small railroads in the
lower end Of the tSate are suing to
have their taxes for the year 1910 re-
duced, and until that suit is settled
not a penny of the railroad tax for
that year, that was unpaid when the
suit started, can be given out by the
State school authorities. 1t is proba-
BILE that the suit will not be started
much before September next. The
Newark School Board and its secre-
tary had arranged for the spending Of
these moneys in advance of their re-
ceipt, as Is customary, and in many
instances in the conduct of school
business, highly essential. This hold
up in the railroad tax money was not
anticipated. 1t Is understood that near
ly 100000 in railroad taxes for the
stay in the States strong box until the
lawsuits are over. Schools all over
New Jersey are therefore handicapped
in the same way and for the same
cause as Newark. Under the law the
local Boards of Education may borrow
money in the case of %unreceived rail-
road tax money, up to 80 per cent. Of
the amount to be received from this
source. This means that the Newark
Board of Education may get a loan for
$141 JIG, which is 80 per cent. of the
sum still to come from the railroads
for 1910.

TRUSTS TAXED 81, ,o7a
New Jersey Levy Exceeds Last Years
by $4,000.

The State Assessors certified the
first schedule of assessments against
miscellaneous corporations chartered
in New Jersey. The tax amounts to
$2,523,070,93 on 1895 corporations, and
is levied on capital stock with an out
standing total of 5000, 339, $40. There
are 853 companies, each with an out
standing capital of $4,000, 900 or more,
and several whose capital each is less
than that, but exceeds 81, 900, 900, com
pared with the preliminary schedule
of last year, an increase of more than
$4,000 taxes is shown. The largest
individual tax, amounting to $3.50, $50,
is the Prudential Insurance Company,
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
companies, both corporation have
made returns upon the old basis Of
outstanding capital stock, indicating
an intention of paying the state tax as
usual. There will be no decrease in
the taxes of other great corporations
such as the United States Steel, the
International Harvester and the Uni
ted Shoe Machinery, against which dis
solution proceedings are in progress.

Girls Home Condemned.

In a report to the Board of Man
ayers of the State Home for Girls in
this city, the Underwriters Associa-
ton of New York severely condemns
the main building as a fire trap which
places liyes and property in the great
est danger. The report is the result
of an examination of the premises and
the board disposed of it by referring
it to the executive committee with
power to act. Although this reference
to the main building is somewhat sew
ere, the report of the underwriters is
decidedly complimentary to the man
ner in which the institution is conduct
ed and especially in regard to the care
which is exercised in the enforcement
of the fire regulations. The main
building was constructed many years
ago and is old in style. AS the i'm
mediate abandonment of the structure
is out of the question, the report of
the underwriters suggests that the
fire escape be thoroughly overhauled
and also that they be replaced by
what is known as the slide escape.
The committee will find itself in an
embarrassing financial situation. The
report suggests that the institution be
equipped with automatic sprinklers,
costing about $4,000. The managers,
however, have no such sum which
they can use for the purpose. The
board will also take up with the City
Commission the question of placing a
fire company nearer the institution.
The underwriters point to the fact
that the nearest company is at least
two miles from the home and if one
could be located nearer it would also
be available in case of fire for the
State Hospital for the Insane. Both
of these institutions are now in the
city limits. The managers discussed
these questions in an informal way
and it was their opinion that it would
be desirable to locate a chemical en-
CINE On the grounds. The question of
fire eXtinguishers was also taken up
and those now in use may be supplant-
ed by the tank system, consisting Of
the use of buckets, etc. The board,
however, is seriously hampered by
lack of funds.
