FIrzGERALD's Legislative Manual for
1912 contains $40 pages as against GA last
year, and Ii just so much more valuable
as standard reference book. There is
one fact of special import with respect to
this manual. If it were not eminently
accurate and trustworthy some effort
would be made to supplant 1t In general
use and confidence. No such effort is even
contemplated. The work stands, as 1t has
stood for many years, as the final answer
to all questions relating to State statistics,
legislative records, census figures, biogra-
hical sketches, election returns, the Cover
nor's message and such other data as come
properly within the scope of complete
manual. Last year the price was raised
to 81 30 to meet the increased cost of pub
h3stion, but no further charge is made for
this years somewhat large volume. 1t

On another page is synopsis of the
Ideas Of the Potable Water Commission

tN anOtner page Is synopsis OF the
ideas Of the Potable Water Commission
on the subject of supplying pure water to
the residents of New Jersey. The scheme
Is to purchase certain tracts principally
the Wharton tract-and have the water
piped to different sections of the state.
That was the idea of the late Joseph
Wharton. who purchased thousands of acres
Of pine lands in Burlington and Atlantic
counties. He hoped to sell water to Phil
adelphia, but that hope was not realized.
The Water Commission has been figuring
on this proposition for some time and be-
lieves 1t has at last solved the problem,
leaving 1t to the state to finish the act by
purchasing the properties. There will be
some objection to this scheme on the
ground that what might be made valuable
land, by laying out cranberry boys and
utilizing the property for other purposes.
would become practically of no value as
q source of revenue through taxation, as
the state would not be required to pay
tsxes ON 1t. But If pure water can be
supplied 1t will be of far more advantage
to the people than what might be brought
into the treasury through taxation. The
people of Mount Holly have reason TO
deyoutlY wish that they may be provided
with water that will be above suspicion
Of faint, and not be dependent on filter
that either works or is worked improperly.
We have had enough typhoid fever to last
long time, and tits serious matter to
feel that we must be subjected to an out
break every year when the water is pol
luted by the overflow from the fields
along the creek. If there is any chance
to get good water let US have 1t, by all
means

Patsy Kline came from his camp in
Rockaway in most jubilant spirits to-
day. He expressed confidence in his
ability to win and so sure that he
would win by a knockout over Kid
Lenny, of Baltimore, at the Eleventh
Ward A. C. tonight that he promised
to buy the best dinner in town for
half a dozen friends should he not
win as predicted.
The youth from Baltimore has had
an opportunity during the past week
to get the best that Johnny. Dundee
had. The latter two weeks ago had
a bout with Kline, and found several
ways of getting out of the way of the
terrible left of the little local favorite.
He has taught these to Lenny, and II
Lenny is any kind of a pupil he will
show the result of this teaching.

demus, of Princeton. who held the IT,

RudoIphe to start

Little Rudolphe, the German mid
dle-distance rider, who will start in
the final Of the worlds paced cham
pionship tomorrow night, was out on
the track yesterday, and he shapes
up like a champion. In a five-m.le
ride behind Charley Turvf1le yester-
day afternoon the foreigner showed
great speed and ability to follow well.
He called for more pace continually
and was never in distress even when
all of the power in his pacing machine
was n Rudolphe is sure to be a
contender for the title, and the four
American riders who qualified for the
final will have their hands full to
bring the title to America. The Ger
man took to the small track like a
duck to water Inc followed beauti-
fully. He is a well built little fell
low and rides apparently without eff
fort. He is a finished rider.
Elmer Collins and Menus Bedell
were all in yesterday and took a day
off to rest up for the crucial test to-
morrow night. George Wiley and
Jimmy Moran both took an easy
workout and neither felt any i'll eff
fects from the gruelling contests CT
Sunday. Moran Is very hopeful of
winning the final and ~the>title. He
will go to the post tomorrow night a
~favorite, and If he is paced well. he
will take a lot of beating.
Clarence Carmen, who gave Moran
a great battle for twenty miles in the
elimination heat Sunday, is heart
broken over his defeat. The Jamaica
boy felt confident that he would make
the final and expected to annex the
title. but the wonderfully game ride
of Moran was too much for the
slender youngster. Carmen is picking
Moran to win the final, providing he
rides up to his form of Sunday.

NEVILLE QUITS
KRAMER IN A HUFF


Jack Neville, trainer of Frank Kra-
mer for a number of years, has quit
the American champion. The trouble
between the pair is said to have come
about when Jay Eaton, the Eliza
beth rider, and Johnny Chapman,
manager of the Velodrome, had a
heated argument, and Neville took
the part of Eaton. Kramer was
trying to smooth things out between
Eaton and Chapman. and Neville
kept the pot boiling, it is said. Kra-
mer became angry and he turned to
his trainer and gave him a repri-
mand. Neville went to his quarters
and packed up, announcing that he
was through with Kramer. No effort
was made by Kramer to keep him
from going.

Emil FriOI VIII Be Able to
Ride in Bike Sprint Trials

All fear as to the inability of the
great French rider, Emil Friol, to
compete in the short distance cham
pionship of the world was set aside
Yesterday. The Frenchman spent 2
bad night Sunday, but he was prac-
tically as good as ever yesterday, and
he will timber up for he title event
today. Friol was fortunate in escap
ing with only decorations on his head
His legs were not even bruised. and
he will go into the trial heats of the
title event tomorrow night in very
good shape.
Frank Kramer had a marvellous
escape from serious injury in the bad
spill that kept them from winning
the tandem championship of the
world Sunday. The American cham
pion was around yesterday. and nc
did not have anything more than u
scratch on his right arm to show fol
the accident that brought him to the
track in such a spectacular mix-up
Kramer was far more concerned over
the conditions of Friol than his own
condition after the accident. and
called early yesterday morning to see
the Frenchman. Kramer was very
we'll pleased when he learned that his
great rival was not seriously injured
and would be able to start in the
championship race.
