. Suffrage is the 4 sht of the won-
'en," continued the s. nator. Their in
aliable right which we have taken
away from them. It was said here
some time ago that if women are per
mitted to vote the vicious women would
vote. That is an insult to women
There are more vicious men than
women, yet every person in the shape
of man may vote. The very scusns
of Europe that cannot read or write
can vote.
THE women that wish TO vote in
this country are the flowers of the ma
ton. Those that desire this privilege
are the highly intellectual and moral
women.
Another objection is that politics
is too corrupt. This used to be OBJ
jected to by the best men in the land.
who refused to mix in politics. This
has changed now, the best men are in
politics and realize that to make it
pure they must get in and work
Mr.. Gebherdt spoke of Miss Bron-
son. the anti-suffragist, who spoke at
the hearing last week He said he did
not know who hired her TO come. Sena-
tor Nichols objected to the word hire
Il do not say equal suffrage will cure
all ills said Gehhardt, but women
have the right TO vote and we have
not the right to prevent them
Just once did the women In the gal
lery applaud.
President Prince stopped the demon
stration by saying that the ladies' were
not in a theatre but in the Senate
chamber.
While MI Gebhardt refuted some Of
the statements made by Miss Bronson
that lady sat in the gallery listening
intently.
Senator Edge, the next speaker, said:
Personally, feel too much rever-
ence and respect for good women OF
our State TO be a party at this time
in running them up with the chioansry
that now exists in politics. It is e
mans problem. 1t Is a mans duty
and responsibility to solve this prob
lem"
Senator Nichols made strong
speech. He opposed the resolution be-
cause he was a friend of women and
wished to keep them from the evil OF
the ballot.
He thought that dissension and
division in the family would be the
result of equal suffrage. THE women
of New Jersey in a mass do not desire
the ballot" he said
Mr. Nichols seemed to think that
women who failed to catch a husband
in the race of life wished TO be the
equal of the man whom she did not
get"
Senator David spoke in favor of the
resolution.
Senator Colgate did not think women
ought to have the right to vote. He
said also that his constituents are
equally divided and he would catch
it when he returned to his home. We
love women" he said, land why should
we lead them into temptation r.
"If 1 am to be punished at all. =. he
said. Il want to be punished by those
love. He looked up al Mrs. Everett
Colby as he said this She scowled
prettily and shook her head as Mr.
Colgate concluded. Sweet is the chas-
tisement of a friend
Senator Pierce opposed the resolu-
tion and said women were not unanl-
nous in their desire to vote

Repeatedly she begged him to des-
troy all her letters and often she
asked him rs it safe to write what I
please?" MacFarland had requested
her to destroy all his letters to her as
soon as she had read them, and she
evidently did so. as none of his letters
to her written prior to his arrest were
discovered by the detectives who
visited the Bromley girl in Philadel-
phia. That he must have made this
request often is shown by the fact
that in many letters she tells him she
had destroyed your last dear letter,
though l hated to do So"
Following one of the many quarrels
she had with her parents over Mac
Farland she asks him Am a vam-
pire? I seem to be wrecking SO many

The Dill, which Is the most Important
legislation proposed this Session, has
not enough support in the House to
induce the railroads and canals COM
mittee to report it.
Only one member of the committee,
Assemblyman Stickel. of Essex. is ia
favor of reporting the bill. Assembly,
men De Unger, Camden; Anderson,
Somerset; Richards, Atlantic, and
Egap. Hudson. are against reporting 1t.
Even if 1t is reported the measure
has apparently no chance of being
passed in the House. The Hudson
delegation is opposed to the terms of
the proposed abandonment for the rea-
sons set forth in the brief filed with
the Legislature by Corporation Coun-
sci Warren Dixon, of Jersey City. The
Republican delegation from Morris is
against the bill on account of the op-
position of the Lake Hopatcong Pro-
tective Association. The five Repub-
licans from Passaic are also lined up
against the measure.

Hon. Richard Fitzherbert, Senator
from Morris County.
Dear Sir-It has been the aim Of
your Democratic colleagues through
out your recent troubles to secure a
full and impartial hearing for you and
to prevent so far as was within their
control any imposition upon your
rights.
We are entirely satisfied from the
evidence presented at your trial that
ferred against you, and upon the ques-
tion of your expulsion from the Senate
we voted according to our honest con-
yicti0ns. We are not sure that par
tisan desire for your seat will not ac-
count for some of the votes against
yoB, and we feel that this cnse clearly
demonstrates the wisdom of the franz
ers of our constitution in providing
against the removal of senator by
hare majority.
We assume that 1t is distasteful to
you to be compelled to associate now
and for the year you still have to
serve with those who voted for your
expulsion. We understand that you

no further action Is taken by the ma
jority in the Senate, and we feel bound
to say that such situation airects
your usefulness as member OF the
Senate and as the representative there
in of Morris county.
Believing you guiltless, it was our wish
that YOU SnOulQ not resign .DoIOIo dCtioh
by the Senate on the charges against you,
but because of the situation we have men.
toned and because we are not desirous OF
fhe expense of your county and it's inter
ests. we now suggest to you the advtsa-
biIity and duty Of sending your resignation
to the Governor forthwith. The resigna-
tion cannot be demanded; therefore, you
are not forced to give 1t.
You are not renigning under charges,
for you have defended yourself sue

great majority of the people OF the
State. You cannot be compelled to sur
render your seat; therefore you give
II up Voluntarily.
We believe that by adopting the course
we suggest, you will deserve and receive
the respect and approval of your county.

Opposition to
Crater Expected
[From a STAR correspondent.

TRENTON, March LIT Is stated
positively today that David Crater, OF
Monmouth, will be named to succeed
Samuel D. Dickinson as secretary OF
state, that Joseph P. Tumulty, secre-
tary to the Governor, will be clerk OF
the Supreme Court, and that George
S. Silzer will succeed the late Theo-
dore Booraem as prosecutor of Middle
sex county.
1t is said that Mr.. Silzer will accept
his appointment with reluctance. AT
first he refused, and it was not until
after several conferences with Gov
ernor Wilson, in which he was in
formed of the desirability of such ac-
ton, that he would consent.
1t is also said that Henry ]. Ford
professor of political economy at
Princeton, will be named banking and
insurance commissioner to succeed
Vivian M. Lewis. Should Professor
Ford be named and confirmed he will
be the second professor from Prince
ton to be drafted into public life by
the Governor, the first appointment
being that of Professor Winthrop
Moore Daniels, who was made pub
lie utilities commissioner
The nominations will be made this
week. Senators who are conversant
with affairs predict that there will be
strong opposition to the confirmation
of Mr. Crater as secretary of state.

Deep Sea Fishers
in Court Shoals

Deep sea fishermen had their day in
court today when City Attorney Car
ton, of Asbury Park appeared before
Vice-Chancellor Stevens and asked for
an accounting for the Smith & Cook
Deep Sea Fishery, an insolvent con-
scern of Seabright. Charles S. Smith
was the complainant.
In 1909 Smith and Charles E. Cook
incorporated and started in the deep
sea fishing business at Galilee, Mon
mouth. Cook had eight shares, his
wife and Smith had eight at 500
each.
According to Smith the business
never prospered, and he places the LA
bilities at $1,000 with $500 assets.

KILLED LIKE
HER HUSBAND

Mrs. Margaret Keeley. of 109 Tre-
mont avenue, Orange Valley, today
was struck and killed by the Dover
express at the Lincoln avenue cross
ing of the Lackawanna railroad, when
she passed from behind a freight train
after going under the lowered gates,
not hearing the whistle of the express
just before it swept past the danger
GUS Scotland street curve. Her nus
band, Thomas Kelley. was also killed
by a Lackawanan train eight years
ago.
Mrs. Kelley boarded with Mrs. Mil
ler at the fremont avenue address,
and this morning left there to make a
visit in Main street on some legal
matter.
AS she stepped on the tracks Con-
ductor Philip G. Piernan, of a freight
train, and George Mulligan, a driver,
yelled to her and she turned and smiled
at them. Just then the express tore
down on her and she was tossed twen-
ty feet and instantly killed.
Mrs Kelley was an aunt of former
Councilman Richard Keeley. also of
Orange, and was we'll known in the
Valley section. where she had lived
many years. Two months ago one Of
her daughters, Mrs. Edward Reynolds,
died.
The fact that the gates we're lowered
and that the engineer OF the express
sounded his whistle several times be-
fore coming around the dangerous
crossing was told Roundsman Graham
and Policeman White, who investigat-
ed the accident, and they believed the
woman thought the gates had been
only lowered for the freight. There
have been many accidents near the
crossing. trains approaching towards
New York being hidden by the Scot
land street curve.

but don't ever give me up"
And all the time running through
the letters is the plea that he hurry
up and get his divorce, so he will be
free to marry her. The final install
ment of the letters follow:
Fears Letters May BE Read.
On December 20, 1910, Bunny again
speaks of the. fear that her letters
may cause trouble or be found by
some one. In fact, for almost year
previous to the death of Mrs. Mac
Farland the Bromley girl had an idea
that her letters would sometime cause
trouble for her and MacFarland. They
did, all right.
In this letter she says:
Dearest: Received your letter this
evening. Is 1t safe to write what I
please? am afraid to have my letters
go skipping the country unclaimed.
Say, I am glad to know you

The Brothers RakeoH,

William j. Bryan was never q book
agent. but he at one time came near
enough to it to qualify as a counselor
of those who followed the business.
On one occasion he undertook to sell
to the citizens of the Salem neighbor-
hood, in Illinois, ten maps which his
brother had been peddling unsuccess-
fully for several weeks.
"All you want me to do, as I under
stand it, Is to sell these MAPS" said
Bryan.
Yes. that's ALL" agreed the brother.
That night William returned home
with the announcement:
II have sold them ALL"
This astonished the brother, who in
sisted that the ten maps could not
have been disposed Of within so short
time.
r. "Oh, 1t was easy enough" said the
future presidential candidate. II did
not bother about the money. One
map I sold to the barber. who will
keep me shaved for weeks. Another
I turned over to a groceryman, and
used the remainder to pay some little
bills l owed around town."
But where do l get OFF, asked the
brother. How do I get my percent
age?"
We'll" said Bryan without enthusi-
asm, you can come around and have
supper with me some Popular

There are many humorous anecdotes

the Servians" The following neatly
illustrates the point that there are
other things more important than mere
etiquette:
Nasradin Chodja took much trouble
to teach his pupils how to behave po-
litely. Among other things he taught
them always to clap their hands and
shout, "Hayir Allah" God bless YOU'D
whenever they heard an older person
sneeZe.
Once the Chodja. mending something
in the open pit in his garden. slipped
and fell in. Nearly drowned In the
deep water of the pit. he called to his
pupils to bring rope and drag him
out.
The dutiful schoolboys soon found 4
rope and threw it down to their master.
and when he had seized it, began to
drag him out. Only few feet more
and he would be out of the pit-when,
unfortunately, thoroughly wet as he
was, he sneeZed.
In an instant all his pupils dropped
the rope to clap their hands, shouting:
"Hayir Allah, Chodja,'

the bottom Of the pit
