HUNTING SEASON OPENS.
Partridge Are Plentiful in Northern
Part of the State

The 1912 hunting season opens
Friday morning throughout the state.
On that day it will be legal to hunt
and kin quail, rabbits, partridge, Eng
llsh pheasants, squirrels, prairie
chickens, wild turkey, Hungarian part
ridge, woodcock, black and mallard
and all other ducks, with the excep-
tion of wood-ducks, swan, geese and
brandt Under the law of April 1st,
1912, it will be unlaS4uf, to capture
kill, injure, destroy or have in pcs-
session in any one day more than ten
quail, three English or ring-neck
pheasants, three Hungarian partridge,
ten woodcock, three ruffed gronse,
commonly called partridge, twenty
ducks, ten geese ten brant or ten rab-
bits
The outlook for a good hunting sea-
son is very promising this year Care
has been taken in the distribution of
the game and the birds have had a
chance to increase The law that
prevents the destroying of rabbits on
farms has helped considerably, as
gtme wardens have trapped them
Wherever they were complained of and
liberated them where they were
wanted. The best partridge counties
will be found in the northern part of
the state, rabbits are the best in the
central counties, and the southern
counties have the deer, quail and
English pheasants. Those counties
bordering on the coast are we'll
stocked with quail for the first time
in many years

HOSPITAL OPPOSITION
AND ADSURDlTy
Says Or. lrmy and Or. Farrand
in Methodist Church.

Aa9Ihei Rev. Felix O,Neil and the other
residents of Morris Plains who have
protested against the site chosen for
the county tuberculosis hospital were
freely criticised on Sunday evening
at the service in the Methodist Epis-
copal church. 1t was tuberculosis
Sunday and the Rev. Ralph B. Urmy
made an address as did DR.. Livings-
ton FarraRd, OF the National Anti
tuberculosis society.
DIR. Urmy took for his text the
story of the Good Samaritan and
many in the audience were struck by
the part the priest" played in the
parable. DIR. Urmy told how the site
for the hospital had been chosen by
experts brought to Morris county for
the purpose and how it had been
agreed to by the board of freeholders
upon the recommendation of the physi-
clans and ministers of the county
The attempt of the people of the
vicinity to get even with any par
ticular political party for the loca-
ton of the hospital, after they had
refrained from protesting until the
property was bought and there was
no turning back by the county, DR..
Urmy described as a dastardy out
rage 1t is exceedingly regrettable
that there should be attempt at pun
lshment of those who ordered the
building at Morris Plains who had
done well for the comfort and health
OF the county and as for himself said
DR. Urmy. he was glad to have had
hand in the work
DIR. Farrand asserted that this cam
palgn aftermath, of which he had re-
Gently heard, was the most dastardly
thing he had ever encountered The
county had to have the hospital. he
said, because it is absolutely essential
to the safety of the residents. and
declared that through education there
has been aroused a tremendous move
ment Tor the prevention of disase.
In The education necessary to at.
tain this end it was necessary to
scare the people, the speaker said. SO
that they would understand that in
Morris county there are a hundred
deaths from the disease every year
and probably 800 cases of tuberculosis.
prevention has been the object, and
the way, he said, is by teaching the
consumptive the rules that will keep
him from being a danger and make
conditions such that all can be safe.
The folly of believing that there
was any menace to the residents of
the surrounding section in the estab-
lishment of tuberculosis hospital at
Morris Plains was emphasized by the
speaker, who declared that the only
way in which one could catch con-
sumption was by living or working
with a victim of the disease.
At the vesper service DIR. Farrand
decried the objection made to the
raising by taxation of money to pre-
vent the spread of disease, saying
that the actual economic gain to the
community is many times the amount
of money thus spent. Typhoid fever
should be an indictable offense, he
maintained, as in England that dis
ease is practically wiped out and
could be here along with other dis
eases, If the tax rate were not given
such close and pairing attention.

RANDOLPH ACADEMY LOSES.
Beaten by Dover Y. M. C. A. Team at
Football Saturday

Randolph Military academy's eleven
Journeyed to Dover Saturday and
beaten by the Dover Young Mems
Christian association team twenty-one
to nothing. The Dover lads out
weighed Morristown's players at least
twelve pounds per man. Dover's
points were made on three touch
downs and kicking the goals and were
all garnered in the first half during
which the Randolph boys acted stage
struck. They braced up in the sec
ond half and played gilt-edged foot
half, holding Dover to downs repeat
edly and actually throwing the
heavier team back for losses. The
ga4ne was marked by brilliant runs
by the Dover backs while Hebard and
Platow starred for the Morristown
team. Only one foul was called and
that upon Dover for craving after
the ball was down. There was a big
attendance of Dover people at the
game and they cheered the Dover
boys repeatedly while the good plays
of the Morristown team also received
much applause

NAME ADVISORY MASTERS.
Chancellor Makes Temporary Appoint
ments to Take Emery's Place.


To facilitate the work of the Court
of Chancery and to prevent unnec-
essary delay in disposing of litiga-
tions, Chancellor Walker has de-
cided to refer several cases on the
calendar of Vice-Chancellor Emery
to Edward M. Collie and Halsey NJ
Barrett, of Newark, who will dispose
of them in the capacity of advisory
masters. The decision of the chancel-
lor is the outcome of the illness of
Vice-Chancellor Emery, which has in
terfered with his work in the court
Mr.. Collie and Mr.. Barrett will not
be officially commissioned or desig-
mated as advisory masters, practice
which has been almost entirely
abandoned since the passage of the
act of 1902, under which the chan
cellor was empowered to refer causes
to any counsellor-at-law of not less
than five years standing to dispose
of as an advisory master.
In such cases the functions of the
advisory masters are substantially
those of the vice-chancellors and they
receive special compensation.
Except in the rare instances in
which the rulings of vice-chancel-
lor might be subject to review by the
chancellor-and there are but few
such cases on record-the decisions
of the advisory masters are final so
far as the Court of Chancery is con-
cerned. The only appeal from their
findings is to the Court of Errors and
Appeals, unless the chancellor should
decide that for one Of the few ex-
ceptional cases he should review a
case referred to one of them
In this respect there is a marked
distinction between an advisory mas
ter and a special master. the findings
of the latter all being subject to
review in the Court of Ghancery.
The functions of the advisory mas
ters, with two exceptions, are oily Of
a temporary character, depending up
on the cases actually referred to
them. The exceptions are James
Buchanan. the equity reporter, and
Clarence s. Biddle, the sergeant-at-
arms of the court.
Under a standing rule Mr.. Biddle
reviews all ex-parte cases referred to
special masters in which divorce or
alimony are involved, while Mr. Bu-
chanan performs a similar function as
regards other chancery matters.
There remain in the state only ten
advisory masters The veteran of the
ten is Amzi Dodd, now about ninety
years old The others are Chief JUS
tice William S. Gummere, Justice
Charles G. Garrison, ce-Chancellor
John r. Emery, Viee-Chancellor Fred
erick W. Stevens, former JUDGE Fran
els Child, Judge William II. Vrenden-
burgh, Joseph e. Randolph and
Messrs. Buchanan and Biddle

Castles for Yale Varsity.

Jack Castles, of Morristown, is one
of the likely candidates for halfback
on the Yale varsity eleven, and with
out doubt New Jersey will have a
chance to see him in the lineup
when the Yale team journeys to
Princeton for their annual contest
with the Tigers. Castles is an aca-
demic sophomore and played on the
freshman team last year He has
developed since that time and is now
one of Yaie's strongest second string
men. Before the championship games
are reached it is confidently pre-
dicted that he will be playing with
the varsity regularly.
