A KEY TO THE ETRUSCAh

If Professor Martha has really solved the enigma of the Etruscan language he has won fairly one of the greatest prizes of philology yet re- maining. Some months ago he re- ported to the French Academy of Inscriptions that after twenty-five years of study he had at last achicv- ed satisfactory results, and recently presented to. the same learned body a second -paper embOdyins his re- suits. The achievement would he notable even as triumph of the intellect over extraordinary difficult ties. Some of the greatest of phil logists. including Lepsius, have broken their teeth on that tough nut. Since l720, when Buonarroti pub lished q book on the subject. num- erous solutions of the Etruscan rid dle have been brought forward but none of them has stood the test of criticism It is to be hoped that Professor Martha will he more for tunate He was congratulated by members of the academy. though with the suggestion that the opinion of scholars in Germany and other northern counties be invited.

SPECIAL to the NE Wo.
Washington, Dec. 18.-Public
document No. 1876 has just been
made public, and it recites the re-
fusal of the War Department at the
present time, to indorse the appllca-
ton Ct Newark interests for the CO.
operation of the general government
in the plant to dig a channel through
the Newark meadows to a point on
the Kill Won Kull.
The report is from Col. s. w.
Roessler, of the Corps of Engineers,
and reads: at appears that the city
of Newark contemplates the con-
struction of extensive water and rail
terminals, including a wide and deep
canal beginning at Newark bay and
extending through the marshy mead
ows to the city railroad terminals,
factory sites, transfer facilities, etc.,
and that the locality desires the CO
operation of the general government
in this work.
In SO far as that part of the pro-
ject which lies back of the establish
ed harbor line is concerned, it seems
clearly to be a matter Of local ter

vided by those in interest. With ref
erence to the work required outside
the harbor lines, the district officer
believes the connecting channel be-
tween the basin and deep water in
the Kill Won Kull should be provided
by the United States when the city
project has been carried out, and
1t has become more evident that
commerce and navigation require
this connecting link"
Col. Roessler further states that
in his opinion, the commerce that
would develop is entirely prospec-
tive, but says it seems probable that
such a channel would be a potent
factor in the movement of the COM
merce of New York city and vicinity.
The report ends with the statement
that it would be premature for the
general government to participate
in the work at this time.

GOVERNOR IN
FIGHT TO STAY
Tells Atlantic Delegation OF
Work in Jersey.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

(Fron the NEWS CorreSpondent.)
Trenton, Dec. 18:-The prepared
statement issued by Governor Wilson
in which he warned the forces be-
hind that element of the Democratic
party that has been opposed to it's
progressive spirit, hat they will be
sorely disappointed if they expect
him to relinquish his fight and per-
nit them to get back into power 1s
regarded as a real declaration OF
war against all the r~eactionaries
within Democratic ranks, but partle-
ularly against former United States
Senator James Smith, Jr., James R.
Nugent and the other members OF
the Old Guard of democracy. 1t had
been predicted that as soon as the
governor returned from his vacation
he would get into the fight to keep
the control of the Democratic party
in New Jersey in the hands of the
new element, and the declaration
emphatic as was looked for by his
most ardent admirers.
Governor Wilson gave further en-
phasis to his statement in replying
to a delegation from Augusta, Ga,
which came to offer him a home in
that southern city, where the COVER
nor lived from the age OF two to
fourteen years, and to invite him to
spend his vacations and leisure time
there. The governor told the dele
cation that he could not accept the
invitation now and that one of the
reasons was the existence Of a GER
tain political situation in New Jersey.
Continuing, he declared:
"There are many persons in New
Jersey who used to WI the state,
and they are ready and anxious to
resume the ownership. Some Of
them, 1 think, voted for me for Pres
ident, to get me out of the state
quicker, In order that they might
accomplish their purpose. The
Democratic party had to make the
final choice whether it would be pro-
gressive or not. I lave enlisted on
the side of the P~rogressives, and in
order tt continue the fight I cannot
separate myself from New Jersey.
II am SO busy that / do not see
any vacations ahead, and with a fight
on, as l have Scotch and Irish blood
in my veins, l do not know as / de-
sire any. The job of defeating GER
tain gentlemen in New Jersey is very
nearly completed. and perhaps after
one or two more elections the final
victory will be won. / do not pro-
pose to give up the fight until the
last dot is put over the !.

New Brunswick, Dec. 18.-The
troubles Of the city dog catcher,
Thomas Dutton. who came here a
week ago Monday from Newark,
are increasing. Monday complaint
was made to Paul Williams, local
representative of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
that he had inhumanly killed two
dogs.
These two dogs were in a lot of
dead dogs shipped by freight over the
Pennsylvania railroad to Schwartz
Brothers of Newark, the hides of the
dogs to be used for gloves. Dutton
shipped the dogs as dead animals.
They had all been given a dose of
acid, but it did not prove fatal in two
cases. with the result that soon after
the barrels of dead dogs had been
left at the freight station scratching
was heard inside one of the barrels
and two dogs were found very much
alive. 1t is said an employee Of Dut-
ton put them out of the way with a
blow with a Ratchet. Dutton last
week killed eighy-ive dogs. He will
finish his work this week.
