SCANDAL AND LAWLEssNEss
In Newark, NJ. j., Called to Mayors
Notice BY Gov. Wilson,.

Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. 15.-Complaints
indicating scandal and disregard
of law in the city. of Newark have
been brought to the notice OF the
mayor and chief of police of that city
and to the prosecution, and sheriff of
Essex county by Gov. Woodrow Will
son. In letter to lthese officials made
pubic, today, the governor calls at
tention to conditions in Newark, COM
planned of recently by the Anti-Sa-
loon League of New Jersey, at form
al hearing before the Governor. Doc
uments relative to the complaints are
enclosed with the Governors letter.
in which he says:
The enclosed papers explain them
selves. They set forth very explicitly
and with good deal of detail condi-
tions of lawlessness and of scandal
and public disregard of law in the
City of Newark, which, IL true, are
deeply demoralizing.
1T may be that the evidence can
be successfully rebutted. But 1t is
strong. so explicit, so direct and so
shocking that it is plainly my duty
as Governor of the state to act upon
it and to call your attention to. the
absolute necessity of searching in
vestigation and a thorough-going cor
rection of these conditions, IF they
exist | have no means of enforcing
this advice under the laws Of the state
except public opinion. but that Is a
very powerful and prevailing force in
our day"
