Governor Asked
to Veto Measure

Democratic members of the Common
Council are storming Trenton today
with view toward getting Governor
Wilson to veto the bill which changes
the present law of redistricting the city
from five to seven years. The alder
men will be backed up by prominent
citizens in their effort to prevent the
law from going on the statute books.
Leading Democrats and Republicans
alike have decl' red the measure one
of the poorest pieces of legislation ever
attempted.
At the same time the citizens in the
eongested wards are clamoring for a
change in the ward lines, their argu-
ment being that the representatives of
the smaller wards have the same power
and less to represent. The measure
was denounced in strong language by
the Third Ward Democratic Associa-
tion and termed special legislation"

Saturday when Mr. Harris, appointed

to obtain his instrument to work with,
was pressed into service by advice of
the State sealer of weights and meas

this city, and P. J. Caulfield, Sullivan s
assistant.
The result of their raid is shown in

Weights that cheated customers all

in the towns named above. In Bloom

SEX HYGIENE

in order that the subject of sex
hy -iene in the schools may be sde-
quateiy discussed in Orange, where it
has met with opposition, the Home and
School League will hold public meet
ing in the High School Wednesday
evening.
All parents in Orange have become
interested in the controversy between
those who favor the continuation of
the subject and those who oppose it.
A special executive meeting of the
Home and School League was held to
decide upon some means of studying
the question from all sides. AS a re-
suit, it was planned to obtain authori-
tative speakers to give addresses at a
public meeting.
Those parents "at present opposed to
the idea" are, in the announcement, es-
pecially invited to listen to the talks.

WAGE RAISE

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 25.-
The conference committee of railroad
managers, which has had under con-
sideration the request of the locomo-
tive engineers of fifty roads in the
eastern section of the country for an
increase in wages. today made its re-
ply. which in substance is that the
railroads are unable to bear the in
creased expense involved "and find it
evidently impossible to grant the re-
quest
NEW YORK, March 25.-The reply
of the fifty railroads to the demands
of the locomotive engineers for in
creased wages was ready for submis-
sion today at a meeting of the COM
mittee of engineers, headed by Grand
Chief Warren S. Stone. of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, and a
committee of twelve vice-presidents
and general managers of eastern rail-
roads who have drafted the answer.
The reply contains a general refusal
of the demands Of the locomotive en-
gineers. Following it's submission an
adjournment will be taken in order
that the engineers may consider It,
Members of both sides agree that
further negotiations are most likely to
continue until an amicable adjustment
of the wage question is arrived at.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
DESIGNATED BY cRUcE.

Oklahoma City Sept 1S.-Oetober 8
will be fire prevention day,
Gov. Cruce Tuesday issued a proc
lamation setting aside that day as a
day which all citizens Of the state
should celebrate and so aid in a cause
that win insure greater safety both to
life and to property"
In his proclamation the governor
says: "0n December Is, 1911. the
people Of Oklahoma for the first time
observed in a general way, Fire Pre-
vention Day. The result OK this e14ort
on the part Of the people Of the state
to reduce the immense annual waste
from fires, has been most encouraging.
The records OF the department Of the
state fire marshal show that the total
fire waste from July 4, 1911, to Decem-
Der 81, 1911, amounted to s1,346,S4S.t1,
that during the six months beginning
January /, 1912, and ending Jufe so,
1872 the total loss from fires was
sl,O4f75402 From this it viii be
seen that the decrease in fire waste
for the six months Immediately follow
ing the observance Of Fire Prevention
Day as compared with the six months
preceding it was sso4,5s879."
The governor urges that exercises
may be held In the public schools Of
the state in order that children may
be taught the dangers accruing from
earelessness that is preventable.
