and the smashing Of the clock had
been bad business. For a full min
ute he stood blinking at them, then
for the second time that night he
chuckled as his hand wandered into
his one good pocket. Then he with
drew it, and stretching forth a long
arm slid the big silver watch into
the hanging stocking.
Along the black road Jim went
hurrying, hunger gnawing at his stom-
ach, the teeth of the wind sharper
than ever. In one hand he held the
crust of bread and now and then he
bit at it savagely. More blessed to
give than to receive" He laughed as
he buttoned his coat around his throat
and bent further forward against the
gale.

tried it out at last. Only thing I'm
sorry for Is that / won't see that sick

Movies at Schools.

1t is highly probable that all Newark
public schools to be built hereafter
will be provided with a fireproof room
in the auditorium for the use of NOV
ing picture apparatus. 1t will then be
possible to have moving picture lee
lures without the expense and labor of
setting up a metal closet as is now
done. The innovation, however, will
have a far deeper significance, since
it will mean, if adopted, that the
Board of Education is preparing the
way for the use of moving pictures as
a definite part of the courses of study.
This is already being agitated among
leading educators throughout the coun-
try, and it is sure to come in the not
very distant future.

State Cash Withheld.

The citizens of Woodstown and
Pilesgrove townships are up in arms
because of the notice served by Coun-
ty Supervisor Barr that the States
school money will be withheld from
the district because the school facil-
tiles are inadequate, unsuitable and
unsafe, and the order will remain in
force until proper facilities are pro-
vided as required by law. The people
claim such an order is unjust and I'M
reasonable and an attempt to coerce
them into doing something their judg-
ment does not approve. There is no
opposition to furnishing what the law
demands, they assert, but they can
not agree upon the school site submit
ted for vote, and that by holding three
elections they have shown a disposi-
ton to comply with the State Boards
requirements.

Care of %Epileptics.

For the purpose Of discussing plans
for proposed legislation to take care
of the epileptic and feeble-minded per-
sons of the State, not now provided
for, there was a conference of charity
workers with Joseph P. Byers, State
Commissioner of Charities and Cor
rections. Those who met with the
Commissioner were: DR.. Madeline H.
Hallowell, of the Home for Feeble
minded Women at Vineland; Prof.
f. R. Johnson, of the Home for Fee
ble-minded Boys at Vineland; Mrs.
Caroline B. Alexander, of Castle Point,
Hoboken; Blocker Van Wageman,
of New York City, and DR.. David F.

Drinking Water on Trains.

The Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners has made an order under
which all trains that run within the
State must provide drinking water for
passengers. In many cases water
tanks were abolished after the enact
ment of the law prohibiting the use
of public drinking cups on trains. The
order for the water supply resulted
from complaints received from pa
irons of the railroads. The utility
boards order directing the railroads
to provide individual drinking cups
without charge has been sustained by
the Supreme Court.

Senators Choose Dill Secretary.

At the caucus of the Democratic
Senator James F. Fielder at Jersey
City, William L. Dill, of Paterson, was
chosen secretary of the next Senate.
The caucus lasted for over two hours,
and during the discussion changes
were made in the patronage slate of
the Senate. Mr.. DilI's selection was
the only one considered by the caucus.

Boon to Terra Gotta Plants.

That the use of enameled terra Gotta
in the erection of the immense big
Office buildings has superseded dark
colored stone and brick almost entirely
in New York City and Chicago, will
prove a boon to some of the numerous
terra Gotta plants here. Two consid.
erations have brought about this
change in the construction material
for the immense office structures. The
lightness of the terra Gotta is one of
the most important reasons, while the
fact that the ~light-colored enameled
surface is a good reflector of light is
another important consideration.

No LIGHT on Marshall Case.

The coroner held an inquest into the
death of Miss Luella Marshall. About
35 witnesses were subpoenaed. The
most interesting story was told by
Miss Lovella Loue Eddinger, the little
actress, who first saw the assailant
and girl in the field. The inquest de-
veloped nothing that has not been in
possession of the authorities. The
funeral of the murdered girl attracted
a large crowd of curious people, and
thousands of persons viewed the body.
The crush was SO great that the police
had to dispense them

BATTLE AS coNFEREEs MEET.
Greek and Turkish Fleets in Clash
Outside ~DardaneIIes.

London.-While the peace delegates
were holding their first meeting here
a naval engagement between the Turk
ish and Greek fleets was taking place
outside the Dardanelles.
The Turkish fleet left the Darda-
nelles at 500 a. m, and a combat last
ing until 100 p. m. ensued with the
Greek feet off the Island of Lemnos.
The fortunes of war apparently IA
vored the Turks. The Greek armored
cruiser Giorgios Averof was hit by
four shells, and her guns were quickly
reduced to silence. The other Greek
vessels steamed away and the battle
continued with the Giorgios Averof
alone, which subsequently withdrew in
the direction of Piraeus. The Turkish
feet suffered no damage.

Condition of Workshops.

The Illustrated lecture upon health
and safety in factories by Lewis T.
Bryant, State Commissioner of Labor,
is a powerful factor in improving the
condition of workshops. On n occa-
sion last week the hall was crowded
beyond seating capacity by workmen
and their foremen and superintend-
ents. The pictures portray the need
of safety devices, of better sanitation,
ETC., and with Mr.. Bryant's clear and
~forceful presentation of the facts,
make al argument that is not only
convincing but seems to stir men.

Pilots in Active Service.

The annual report of the State
Commissioners of Pilotage, made to
acting Governor Prince, shows that
there are in active service twenty
nine full branch pilots, eight deputy
pilots, seven pilots on the retired list,
and five apprentices. During the past
year, the report says, several vessels
have taken ground with very little
damage and no loss of life, and no
complaints have been entered against
Jersey pilots. The board goes on rec
ord as being of the opinion that the
government should not force vessels
of the great lines from docking facil-
tiles in the North River.

Licenses for Performers.

The Supreme Court handed down an
opinion of Importance to the theatrical
men, holding that a city ordinance re-
quiring licensing of places for theat-
rical performances applies equally to
the place and the performers. The
decision came in affirming the convic-
ton of Nellie Kytton, a dancer, in the
Elizabeth police court, for giving a
public performance without first hav-
ing obtained a license and in a build
ing not having such license. Her coun-
sci held that this applied to the build
ing only. The Supreme Court says 40.

OSAly kuSI0 was a
rafting gobble from the horn of the
machine, an answering gobble from
the threats of the turkeys, a cloud of
feathers in the air and the man at the
wheel passed on with a backward grin
at the fowl as 1t lay f1uttering by the
wayside. "One more gobbler gathered
to the eternal roost," he chuckled.
From out of the long grass that
fringed the wayside a man arose, lean
and hungry, and stood looking at the
still kicking victim. Then he drew
a huge, old-fashioned silver watch
from his pocket and glanced at it.
Just dinner time, and I haven't had a
taste Of a turk in a year.. Guess this
is my lucky day." he soliloquized.
Then he picked up the bird and start
ed for the brook near by.
He seated himself by the bank and
commenced dressing his find, tossing
handfuls of feathers to the winds,
feeling Of the plump body with grins
Of satisfaction. Then all at once he
looked up. A sour faced man with a
big star on his coat was standing over
him. Come with me-" he command

he dropped his prey. "All right. I'll

THREATS OF BLAckMArLERs.
Few Persons Consider Letters of Noun

0Sbs VNioOFI 0STIOuSIHa
Very few persons take the threats
on Governor Wilson's life made in
anonymous letters with seriousness.
There has been no case of assassina-
ton where the criminal has been a
grossly ignorant man, or prompted by
blackmail. The Crank has been re-
sponsible for all the black record. the
man obsessed by some strange ideal.
The threatening letter has been The

sons without much consideration. Few

offenses Against State Law.
What seems to Jerseymen as of
mue Importance in this matter is
that, whether guilty or not of the
graver crime, the gang raided by the
Federal officials has had local immun-
ity for a long while, although notorious
for offenses against the State law, and
living a life of evil. The conditions
are excusable in sparsely settled
States, where there are wide ranges of
wild land, and degeneracy among the
settlers is frequent. But in a State
like this, with a crowded population,
great revenue, ample educational facil-
tiles and claims to advanced civiliza-
ton, the "mountaineer" in the sense
that the name is used in West Vir-
ginia and the Southwest, has no place,
and should have no liberation, for the
honor of New Jersey. I The county of
Morris is responsible in this case;
there are like cases in South Jersey,
and Hunterdon and Sussex counties
are said to have their representatives.
The State must act in self-defense
against such degeneracy.

Position Of the Church.

But this is the question we wish to
raise: Has the church lent herself suf-
fciently to this new social emphasis?
A recent writer has asserted that the
church always suffers in times Of so
cial upheaval because she is SO slow
to adjust herself to the changing needs
of the people, because she Is constitu-
tionally conservative, and because she
is in such large measure dependent on
certain rather comfortable and we'll
favored classes of society. For reasons
like these, it is asserted. there has
come to be a distinct breach between
the church and the working people.
How much of truth is there In these
assertions we leave our readers to
Judge for themselves. We want to as
sert our belief that the church can-
not afford to neglect the social mes
sage, that she must concern herself
with the social and economic and in
dustrial conditions. The gospel of
brotherliness must be p~ersistently
preached. And all the mighty infiu-
ence of the church must be directed
toward breaking down organized sell
ishness and vested privilege and every
~unsocial form of business and political
and industrial organization.-The
