TAKE STEPS TO REMEDY
POOR HOUSE-NUMBERING

Steps have been taken by Borough
Clerk Thomas Carey, of East New
ark, to have houses in the borough
properly numbered. On some of the
streets the numbers are badly jum-
'bled and considerable trouble is ex-
perienced by visitors.
Similar conditions exist in Harrison
and Kearny and many complaints
have been heard.

OTTO KNABE MAY
BOSS The PHILLIES

Philadelphia Jan. "A strong prob
ability exists that the 1912 manager Of
the Philadelphia ball club will be an
nounced in the near future, and a
peculiar interview with Horace Fogel,
the president, yesterday, seems to point
to Otto F. Knabe as the lucky man.
President Fogel admitted tina he will
give a dinner next week to Knabe and
his bride, and that the guests at the
dinner will include all the players of
the team and the board of directors of
the club.
President Fogel refused to tell the
date of the dinner or where ii was to
be held. Il did not intend that it
should be known" he said.
When pressed to tell when the new
manager would be appointed he said
by next Saturday night the world will
know the 1912 manager of the Phillies,
and this is as definite as / care to be.
My mind is settled on the man. / have
talked with him and he is ready to
fill the position"
rs it stallings, Doom or Knabe" he
was asked.
"You have named the man." said
Fogel. ut is not stallings, and / don't
expect to see Doom until the team
starts south"
Then FogeI refused to say another
word.

MARINE OFFICE
TO Be KEPT open
LOCAL RECRUITING STATION HAS
BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AND
WILL REMAIN OPEN HERE FOR
AT LEAST ONE MONTH LONG.
Err.

The U. s. marine corps recruiting
office in the Magill block of this city
has been successful in enlisting four
teen men this month and as this is
considered very good the officer In
charge Of the district has decided to
keep the ONCE open for at least an
other month. Five Of the recruits were
sent to Seattle, Wash, and the last
nine were sent to Charleston, s. @.
They are, Theophil Dusek, Percy q.
Thomas, Daniel H. Gunter, Charles w.
Hudson, Alfred Lunder, George Muir
ply, Michael r. Murphy, Hans p. Nell
son and William A. Stephenson.
AS there are a large number of men
to be discharged this month whose en-
listment expires, the recruiting officer
has authority to enlist men who were
rejected for being under weight. They
are allowed to take men twenty pounds
under weight providing the applicant
is desirable and passes the required
examination.
During the past fifteen months tina,
he Fargo office has been here, only
man deserted, and that one desert
ed before he reached the recruit depot.
This is a very good showing and
shows that life in the marine corps is
not SO distasteful as many are led to
believe.

THE OTHER SIDE.
Public Wants to Know Where Philan.
thropists Got Money.


Philadelphia Bulletin: The year
1911 proves another record breaker in
the total Of its great philanthropists.
One hundred and fifty million dollars
have been given to education, research
for the conservation of life and health.
and other forms of benevolence. The
good it all may do cannot be estimat-
ed easily. But it would be better ap-
preciated, were it possible to con-
template that good without a sug-
gestion of the evil that has been done
in making the benefits available.
1t is useless to seek to ignore condi-
tons that are constantly becoming
more apparent. 1t is worse than folly
to throw halos around the heads of
these great philanthropists and exploit
their benevolences, without regard to
the other side of the picture, or even
recognizing the fact that 1t has another
side which appeals to the mass of men
and women with more force than does
the philanthropic aspect. The majority
of the people today are less interested
in the benevolent distribution Of these
millions than they are in the question
of their accumulation. The indirect
benefit received by humanity from
these altruistic endowments is not
considered as equitable compensation
for the injury which commonly is be-
lieved to have been wrought in piline
up the fortunes.
Whence. came these millions" the
people are asking, and are less con
cerned whittier they are going. Nor,
is the question to be turned aside as
mere muttering Of discomfort, which
is as old as human nature and quite
as lasting. There is a serious and jus.
tifiable question whether or not a hun.
dred or more millions can be legiti-
mately, or Justly, accumulated by ar
individual within a lifetime. OF
whether 1t is possible for such in
dividual accumulations to be made
without directly causing the hard times
and difficulties of the mass of the
community.

ES SCHEDULE TRIP TO be
MADE MANY GAMES TO RE

That the basketball fans of the gate

understanding, however, the manage

turned from Minneapolis last night
where he has attended the conference
meeting. Coach Rueber is spending
the holidays with his parents at Roch-
ester, Mimi. he will return to the col
lege about Jan. 6, and resume his ath-
letic duties.
During the season Of 1910-1911 the
aggies played six games on their own
floor. 1t is anticipated by the man
agement Of the A. G. squad that he
will give the sport loving public eight
or nine games here this season.
Plans are being made for the team
to take a trip on the road between
Jan. Is and 20.

JOE RIVERS PUT
CONLEY TO SLEEP

Los Angeles, Jan. Joe Rivers az
Los Angeles, knocked out frankie
Conley Of Kenosha, Wis. today in
the eleventh round of the
twenty-round fight at Vernon.
AT no time did Conley have q
chance to win and only once in the
1lrst round when he put up a stiff left
TO RIVERS jaw as the latter was
backing away and sent him to the
moor, did he land a blow that serious-
ly interfered with Rivers.
1t was one of the fastest fights bs-
tween featherweights ever seen In a
Vernon ring. Rivers fought all
around Conley. His favorite combina-
ton was a left jab and a vicious right
to Conley's face.
In the seventh round Rivers had
Conley all but out, but could not land
a vital spot. Conley's face was a
fearful sight by this time. His eyes
were nearly closed and he was bleed.
ing from half a dozen cuts, whiIa
Rivers bore but one mark, a slight
cut or his nose.
1t was seen as early as the third
round that Conley had no chance and
1t was simply a matter Of how long
he could endure the terrible punish-
ment Rivers was inflicting. Conley
constantly carried the fight to his
opponent only to receive the worst
beating of his ring career.
In the eleventh, after fighting for
a few minutes at the center of the
ring, Rivers rushed and threw Con-
ley's head back with a terrific right
to the jaw. Rivers kept after him
and landed right and left to the body
and face until Conley fell limp over
the ropes, head downward and suffer
ed for the first time in his ring career
a clean knockout.
Rivers is now in line for a match
with the winner Of the Attell- KiIbane
fight at Vernon Feb. 6.

LEFT ENDERLIN
FOR new FIELDS

Enderlin Independent: Tom Zavus,
who has been boarding his Greek
countrymen who work for the railroad
company, for the past few months.
after collecting his monthly stipends
from his boarders, quietly boarded the
train and left town last Sunday and
now there are a number of our mer-
chants who are poorer but wiser than
before. They thought Tom was honest
and gave him credit in various sums
ranging from IS to over 800. The
total of his debts, as estimated from
reports of creditors, seems to be in
the neighborhood of $500.
1t is said that in addition to what he
owes he cashed the checks of some of
his countrymen and retained this
money also. If this proves to be the
case Tom may yet pay a visit to our
city, although it is not thought he will
do so unless very urgently requested
in the name of the law.

COBB QUITS STAGE
TO GET MORE SLEEP

Chicago, Jan. 2.-Actors' hours are
too long and their ways too strenuous
for Ty Cobb. Because he can't sleep
enough and because he is entertained
too much. the great Detroit baseball
player reiterated today that he would
forsake the stage and stick to the a
tional pastime alone.
Tyrus opened a weeks engagement
at the Haymarket Monday, playing the
hero rule in George AIDES comedy, The
College Widow. It's true that ny is
not as great an actor as he Is q ball
player, but that is not discrediting his
stage effort. for, as a bail player, he's
considered the best the world ever
had. Just the same, he was given a
great welcome by the audience.
