TOO MUCH DRINK, TOO
HILARIOUS: FINED $40.

That disturbing the peace is far too
expensive an amusement to be INDUCED
in often is probably the conclusion of
Henry Sanfield, of rs Rutgers street,
who was fined $40 by Judge Herr this
morning for INDUCING in that pleasure.
Sanfield, who is a man of SO years,
looked too often on "the cup that
cheers last night, and as a result felt
rather hilarious when he came home in
the wee sma' hours. His hilarity led
him into a row with the people with
whom he was staying and as they
failed to see the Joke an officer was
called in, who carried the man to the
Fourth precinct ito sleep it off" This
morning the fine was imposed by Judge
Herr.

IS FAVORITE
IN ESSEX co.
Choice of PrOgressives as Presi-
DENTAL Candidate, Says For
mer Senator Colby.

1.-THE Essex County Progressive Re-
pu~blicans favor the candidacy OF
Roosevelt for President, but whichever
way it runs all the Progressives in New
Jersey are going to be united on this
question when it comes to a final deci-
sion,' was the statement made today
by former State Senator Everett Colby.
Mr.. Colby, while strongly favoring
the candidacy of the former President,
is anxious to have the men of his party
in this State stand united on this as
we'll as on every other question of ma
tional policy. With the exception of
Edmund B. Osborne. chairman of the
Essex County Progressive Republican
League, and a few others, almost all
the Essex men favor the candidacy of
Roosevelt.
The Hudson county men, with George
L. Record at their head, favor La Fol-
lette. In this connection Nj. Osborne
said:
"Mr. Record has been very fair and
generous in the matter. Although he
and the majority of the Hudson county
Prcgressives favor the candidacy of the
Western senator, they have consented
to wait before indorsing him for tho
presidential primary until such time az
the whole State can get together on
this proposition
Mr.. Colby, when asked about the
sentiment among the Progressives in
the rest of the State, answered that he
could not go into particulars at this
time, but it seemed to him a majority
of his co-political workers favored
Colonel Roosevelt. and he is certain
thai he is the man they will all finally
unite OH.
lone thing I wish to say emphat-
ically," he said, lis that when the time
to act zones the Progressives will be
a united force. We will all sink any
personal differences or prejudices that
we may have and act harmoniously for
the good of ALL"

Ottolengui's Confidence That
Newark Could Support An
other Theatre Rewarded.

All is now ready for the raising of
the curtain at the new Shubert Theatre
on Monday night. The house has been
SOLD out, and only the gallery seats,
which Manager Lee Ottolengui refuses
to dispose of until the opening. remain
for the frst-nighters. There were
many who doubted that another high
class show-house in this city would
meet with success, but there was one
man who was firm in his belief that
this enterprising city really demanded
such a venture. He was as positive in
his convictions that he solicited the
aid of several capitalists and the result
is we have the grand Shubert Theatre
To this man is due more than ordin-
airy credit for placing before the New
ark public such an up-to-date, modern
s~how-house.
But the show-house alone would not
be of advantage. The plays and play
ers tina visit this city had 10 be taken
into consideration. With this thought
In mind 1t was up to the enterprising
manager to select with great care the
kind of plays tina would please the
critical public. As an opener h great

Fields linked with it. it means that
you fortunate ones that have tickets
will see a great comedian who has
reached the pinnacle of success in the

The temptation is irresistible to let
the public know again some of the fine
points of the theatre. The decorations
will be in a delicate purple. High above
the proscenium arch is a decorative
panel, 1.-THE Battle of Flowers"

tured flower beds, Dainty Cupids are
found here and there, every ready with
their little arrows to shoot at those
who find pleasure in gazing intently at
them.
Then. too, every p%recaution for
danger has been looked after. The
floors are concrete and in every nook
is a bright red fire pail. The latest

With the two prominent Democratic
candidates waging their campaigns
here, New York will become one of the
most important battlefields for the
nomination. Governor Wilson is now
established at AZ Broadway, and from
that headquarters has been making an
aggressive fight for support throughout
the Eastern States.
Supporters of Governor Wilson re-
gard the invasion of the Western gov
ernor with special interest, for they be-
lieve that Governor Wilson's activities
here nave caused Mr.. Harmon to make
the Eastern move.
Constant mention in Democratic
circles of Mayor Gaynor as a presi-
dental possibility is believed also to be
responsible in part for Goyernor Har-
mons decision to look carefully into
the situation here.

SpikinQ Obsolete NOWADAYS.

One reads in the war news mat the
Italians found hat guns in the Tripoli
forts spiked" II that is meant lit
orally they must have been guns OF
mainly antiquarian interest.
The expression, "spihing guns" Is
a survival from the day when Ill that
was necessary to put 6 gun out OF
action provided, Of course, that you
had access to it, was a large nail or
spike and a hammer. . You simply
drove the nail into the touch-hoIe at
the breech. If the rail was long
enough to turn round at the end, on
the bottom of the bore, SO much the
better.
1t is just as simple, perhaps SIM
pier, to put a modern gun out OF &C.
ton. Ali you want is a hammer. Thu
breech block of the modern gun is
held closed by screw threads, after
the breech block is shut on the shell,
q turn of two Or three inches engages
the threads. By knocking a burr on
these threads you prevent them en-
gaging. Any attempt to FIRE the gun
without the breech block being perfect
ly closed would, of course, be OF ma
terial assistance to the enemy.
