Wants Cresote Blocks for Pave.
Mr.. Editor
Since reading the recommendation
OF the Highway committee of the
Board of Trade in which said COM
mittee recommended the paving of
Main street with brick, | want to put
in an earnest plea for creosote
blocks. Wooden blocks treated with
creosote will last indefinitely, and
as a taxpayer of Honesdale and one
interested in the future welfare and
advancement of the town, ask the
members of the borough council, be-
fore whom the recommendation and
petition of the Board of Trade will
be presented, to make a careful in
vestigation before selecting the ma
terial for paving Main street. There
are many points in favor of wood
blocks over the brick pave, the prin-
cipal one being less noise. Another,
it would be easier on horses, the
wood giving while the brick does
not. Let's get our heads together
and have block pave" was once re-
marked by a German, "all we have

be applied to Honesdale. The writ

ELECTION EXPENSES.
N. Y. BAR ASSOCIATION
FIGHTS THE RECALL

Albany, n. Y, April 13.-That
there is growing sentiment in favor
of the recall of judges and of Judi
cial decisions by popular vote, was
the opinion expressed at a special
meeting of the New York State Bar
Association today, when resolutions
were adopted condemning such a sys-
TEN. Another resolution, offered by
former Justice d. CadyHerrick and
seconded by Alton B. Parker, former
Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals,
was approved, empowering a COM
mittee to investigate the cause of
this movement and if necessary rec
ommend a remedy to check it.
The meeting was unanimous in it's
opposition to the recall. The reso-
luton condemning it was offered by
William B. Hnrnblower, of New
York, and in part says:
Resolved, that the recall of
judges or the reversal of judi
cial decisions by popular vote
would destroy the independence
of the judiciary and the impair
tial administration of Justice
and deprive all classes of the
community of the protection
now afforded to individual rights
by substituting for the train
ing, intelligence and conscience
of the judiciary and settled
rules of law, public clamor and
agitation and the constantly
varying opinions of voters over
ruling the judgment of the
courts and Furnishing the
judges for unpopular decisions.
The resolution further pledges the
New York State Bar Association to
urge the bar of the State and nation
ito unite, irrespective of party, in
opposition to such proposals and in
defense of the independent judi
ciary."
This action is part of a plan to
have every state bar association re-
cord its position on this question in
time to be reported at meeting of
the American Bar Association next
August.

Garfield did not receive a single vote
on the early ballots. At the conven-

the seventh ballot. In the earlier
balloting he had been led by Blaine,

not marshal enough to win, so the

The telephone message Grace's mother

Grace Tells the Police by Tele-

1t had been an unusually quiet day
at the Decatur street police station.
The arrests had been so few that only
the names of couple of petty negro
offenders soiled the blotter. and back
behind the turnkey even the drunken
prisoner who had earlier polluted the
atmosphere with his demented curses
had apsed into inebriate silence Desk
Sergeant Lindsay was indolently eX-
planning to Call officer Wood that the
city of Atlanta should really provide
lounges for its inside police force on
such a peaceful day, when the telephone
bell tinkled at his side. Lindsay, smil-
ing at his own jest, pulled the receiver
toward his ear.
Somebody probably wants to know
how long he can sleep before the base
ball season opens" he began in an
aside to the chuckling emergency po-
liceman-but the tone of the tense,
choking voice at the other end of the
wire stopped him in the middle of his
sentence.

lied accents, I'm E. H Grace, at 20
West Eleventh street. I'm shot I'm
dying here alone Send me help!"
Heard Body Fall.
The sergeant at the telephone heard
the receiver at the other end drop and
sway against it's hook and family
over the same wire came the sound of
thud as though a body had fallen
heavily upon a floor Then he turned
to Call Officer Wood and said
You take that other man and shoot
out to 20 West Eleventh. street Man
who says his name is Grace is out
there-says he's been shot and thinks
mes dying. l think l heard him fall
on the floor after he told me ON the
phone. You get up there quicf. and
phone me what is the matter.
Wood with two other policemen at
MS heels, reached the house at 20 West
Eleventh street in ten minutes. AS
they reached the front door an ambu-
lance from st. Josephs hospital, or
dered out by telephone from police
headquarters, also came dashing UP.
Woods furious banging at the door
was answered by a colored servant
who, questioned in the hallway said
stupidity that he knew nothing of any
one being shot in the house.
The policemen dashed on to the sec
ond floor. They found the rooms that
they passed through in a state of some
disorder, but all the doors were open

came to the southeast corner. That
door was locked. Wood raped once
upon it; then put his shoulder to the
panels and sprawled inside as the oaken
barrier gave way.
AT the further end Of the room he
saw tall man clad in night clothes
wing sprawled horribly over the side
OF bed. His head hung downward
on the edge and one leg doubled be-
meath his twisted body as though he
