Can't Find 4 LAWYER.

Atlantic City's new commission
seems to be unable to find a compe-
tent lawyer who will accept the soli-
citorship at a salry of $4,000 and agree
to devote his entire time to the city's
business. 1t is proposed to raise the
salary to $4,000. Atlantic City is less
than half Trenton's size. What an
outcry would be raised if an attempt
were made to increase Counselor
Birds compensation to $4,000!

Wharton Farm Opposition.

The plan of buying the Wharton
tract" of about 100000 acres. in South
Jersey; for b forest reservation and
water-plant is likely to receive some
opposition in the next Legislature.
The State Grange has directed that a
formal protest be sent to the@Gover-
nor and each legislator. At the
orange convention it was stated by a
Burlington delegate that a large por-
ton of the tract for which the State
is asked to pay a million dollars, is
not worth twenty-five cents an acre.

Cow Defended by Boys.

Taking pity on a cow which had
been tied under the a of a wagon
by two boys driving through James
burg a number of local boys compell-
ed the other youths to release the an
imal, but not before the strangers
were given rough handling. The visi-
tors at first put up a fight, but were
outnumbered and no mercy was
shown. The GOV was tied in such a
manner that it fell and when it re-
fused to rise the boys in charge COM
menced beating It.

Hospital obtains Finances.

The managers of the Burlington
County Hospital have had a success
full week, financially. The first good
news was the announcement that the
institution had received a windfall of
$4,000 under the will of the late Theo-
philus J. zurbrugg of Delanco, and
this was closely followed by the re-
ceipt of checks aggregating $500 as
contributions from former residents.
Then came a supper and bazaar,
which Melted the hospitsIS between
$500 and $500. The hospitV SIS been
greatly in need of funds.

DIED FOR INJURED BROTHER.
Young Man Yields Up Life in Vain
Effort to Comfort Dyinq One.


Effort to Comfort Dying One.
His devotion to his brother, who
was fatally hurt by a railroad train,
was the direct cause Of the death Of
Peter Gideon, a printer, % years old,
son of John Gideon, of No. 1856 Union
avenue, Clifton, according to the at
tending physician. Arie Gideon, 20
years old, a stenographer, returning
home, was struck by a Lackawanna
express while deep in thought about
plans for his wedding in January to
Miss May Schleich. His legs were
crushed so that both were amputed
in the General Hospital at Passaic.
Peter had always been devoted to
Arie, and VIXEN a messenger brought
the news to the Gideon home. without
waiting to put on an overcoat or even
his hat, though it was raining hard.
he ran to the hospital, a distance of
two miles. Reaching the bedside of
his brother, whose legs had already
been amputated, he cried: 20 Ariel"
and collapsed. He was taken to his
home. Six hours later he was told Of
MS DrOLhefS death.
Wedding All Planned.
"Why should this happen to Arie
with his wedding all fxied and plan
ned?" Peter murmured. Rather it
should have been me than him" Eff
forts to comfort him failed. Next
morning he was too i'll to leave the
house and a physician was called, but.
despite the best attention. he became
worse. He called the nam of Arie
often. Expecting the worst, his par
ents, two sisters and brother went to
his bedside. ma, I fear I'm going"
whispered the sufferer, but please
don't cry. l know what it means, but
be brave. Rose, Martha and John are
with you. So is pa they need you,
goodbye" Then he died. This was
much the same way his brother tried
to console his fancee when she visit
ed him a few hours before his death.
Tenement Houses Inspected.
The work of the Tenement House
Commission, which was at first con-
fined to the three largest counties of
the State, has been extended so that
the inspections and work of the de-
partment now covers thirteen coun-
ties, accounting to the annual report
of the commission just handed to Act
ing Governor Prince by Secretary
Charles ]. Allen. The commission has
been particularly painstaking in it's
effort to further its work of educa- .
ton which includes illustrated leo
lures with the use of charts and maps.
The results have been effective and
satisfactory. With the exception of
1907 last year was the biggest in the
history of the department, S12,4S6, 900
being expended in the erection of new
tenements and the material alteration
of existing ones. The report shows
construction of 1870 new law tene-
ment houses, affording living accom-
modati5ns for T,ee5 eaniiiss.or about
39,125 persons. The cost of these
new structures was s11, 951, 600. Su-
pervision was also exercised over al
t~erations to 44O old tenement houses.
the alterations costing $685., 900. Com
pared with the preceding year these
figures show an increase of 1876 in the
number of new buildings and n in the
humber of material alterations. The
increased cost of the new buildings
was $1,11S,0 900 and of the alterations
$127, 900.

SENDS SPECIAL MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS ON SUBJECT.
Endorses Bill Drafted by Employer
Liability Commission a.
Desirable.

WASHINGTON. Feb. e0.-President
Taft today submitted to congress the
report OF the Employers Liability
Commission and the commissions pro-
posed employers liability and work
mems compensation bill. accompanied
by h message urging the enactment OF
the measure. which is the most adj
vanced piece OF liability Legislation yet
presented. The president sets forth
that the proposed law not only would
insure to employees OF railroads en-
gagged In interstate commerce quick
adjustment OF their claims for dam
ages. but also would relieve the courts
OF a vast amount OF work and enable
them to administer judicial affairs
with greater dispatch.
Discusses Objections.
The main provisions OF the measure
are sketched in the message and then
Mr. Taft takes up and discusses three
objections that have been advanced by
its opponents which he dismissed rs
unt.nable. These were-that Il did
not regulate commerce." that in com
polling railroads to pay for injuries to
employees II denied the process of law.
and that the right OF jury trial was de-
MED.
The greatsct evil which the pro-
posed measure would destroy was. in
the presidents opinion the multitude
OF suits under the common law now
clogginE the courts and postponing
through the laws delays, a final ad
justment.
The message concludes with the re-
iteratei hope that the bill MY be
passed before the adjournment Of the
present session Of congress.
The report is accompanied by the
draft of a bill in which the commits
sion eliminates the common law doc
trine OF negligence with what ii char
acterizes as the unjust defenses OF as
sumption of risk. fellow servants fault
and contributory negligence. Com
pensation. with n general basis of an
equivalent To one-half wages. is to be
paid in every case except the injury
or death is caused by the willful in
tention OF the employe TO injure him
self or another. or in case of intoxica
tiCn on duty
