THE PRUDENTIAL FIRST

For the last fourteen years, in the
matter of writing new business In
the State of New Jersey, the Pruden-
tial has led all the companies doing
business in the state.
Two items conspicuous in the year
1911 were the amount of business
issued and paid for in this state,
which exceeded 100000 600, ana
the claims paid in the state, exceed
ing $2,600,000.
This continued leadership of the
Prudential in its home state is GER
tainly an indication of the conf
dence and trust which the people of
New Jersey repose in it. That is
not surprising when the fact is
borne in mind that the company has
in force in the state of New Jersey at
the present time over one million
three hundred thousand paid for
policies, equal to owe one-half the
population of the state.

BOAT COMPANY
CASE IS HEARD
Report Matter Before Judge
Foster at Freehold.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special TO the bbENiNt NE VS..
Keyport, May 22:-In the county
court at Freehold before Judge Fos-
ter, the case of the suit of the New
York and New Jersey Steamboat
Company against the keyport Dock
Company was called on Monday.
The suit is over the ownership of
of a strip of property on the east
side of the property belonging to the
New York and New Jersey Steam
BOAT Company and running along
the beach property belonging to
John w. Keough on other side, at
foot of Broad street and running to
the old Holmdel dock.
The trouble arose last summer,
when the material for the building
of the new dock was being placed
on the property in question. The
New York and New Jersey Steam
boat Company claimed that the land
was theirs by purchase and by deed,
while the directors of Keyport Dock
Company claimed the land to be a
public highway; that it had been SO
for years and the original owners
had so declared that it should be.
Supt. Ward, of New York and
New Jersey Steamboat Company, at
time of first trouble during the
summer threatened to remove the
piling, etc, which the Keyport Dock
Company put on property and at
one time had his men and teams on
the job to do so. A battle royal
was very imminent between the two
lots of laborers for a short time.
The town authorities were called
upon, but informed the two factions
it was their personal question and
they must settle it.
Supt. Ward withdrew his men and
the new dock was built, after which
a fence was erected by the New
York and New Jersey Steamboat
Company, inclosing the property and
the same night the fence a torn
down by some one.
The New York and New Jersey
Steamboat Company's side was in
charge of Lawyers NJ. j. Clarence
Conover and Mr.. Day, and the Key
port Dock Company interest were
represented by John Apologize, Jr.,
of Red Bank.
All the evidence was given on
Tuesday afternoon and Judge Eos
ter excused the jury until June 3,
when the summing up will take
place and the case given to the jury,
Mr.. Foster cautioned the jury
men in the meantime not to discuss
the case.

filing today of an application by w.
II. Schenck of Homedale. Idaho, to
appropriate the waters of Sucker
creek, in Malheur county, to irrisate
144S acres of land in Idaho, there
was presented to State Engineer
Lewis his first opportunity to retail
ate against Idaho for a decision by
it's courts declaring that permits is
sued for the appropriation of water
in Idaho to irrigate lands in Oregon
are invalid.
The state engineer several days ago
wrote the state engineer of Idaho, adj
vising him that the understanding
was that the two states were to re-
ciprocate in granting water rights I'M
til the legislatures passed on the sub
ject. and protesting against the de-
cision of the supreme court of Idaho
rendering invalid the permits issued
by the Idaho engineer for water to
rrigate land in Oregon. He indi-
Gated then that he might revoke per-
mits issued for the appropriation of
water in this state to irrigate land in
Idaho, and he will not grant the APP
plication of Schency unless assured
by the Idaho authorities that they
will reciprocate on the subject.

GOAT MEAT SERVED IN
STATE PENITENTIARY
Substitute for Mutton Mu h
Cheaper and Held to Be
just as Good

SALEM, Or, July 20.-By the in
PRODUCTION of goat meat at the pend
tertiary last May, Frank Curtis, su-
perintendent of the penitentiary, fig.
ures that he has effected considerable
Of a saving in the way of meals. Nut
ton, he declared, was high in the mar
set, and in addition, he asserts, meat
inns taking contracts to supply the
institution with mutton were smug-
CLING in goat meat. He found this
meat as good as the mutton, and
when an opportunity presented itself
last May to purchase so goats at a
reasonable price, he did so.
Goat meat, since then, has been
served at the penitentiery two or
three times a week, until this last
month, when it was considerably re-
duced. Some of the convicts at first
demurred against eating it. but he
declares none of them passed it up
when they finally sat down TO the ta-
BILE.
The superintendent now has a num-
her of convicts manufacturing mat
tresses for the eastern Oregon branch
asylum He plans also in the near flu
ture to put a crew at work manu-
featuring bedsteads and furniture for
this institution.

NEW MEXICANS ARE
DOUBTFUL AS YET

North Yakima, who, is now in the

which he might convince some of the

something in print to verify the asser-

CARDINAL GIBBONS
IS IS NEXT TUESDAY
Disagrees With Senator Bailey
That There Ever Will Be
American Revolution

BALTIMORE, July 2O.--Cardnal
Gibbons will celebrate next Tuesday
the seventy eighth anniversary of his
birth. Apparently in excellent health,
he says he has not felt better for
many months, and he takes an active
interest in public affairs. Asked if he
had seen the statement of Senator
Bailey, made Saturday night at din
ner, in which the Texas statesman
said if present conditions continued
in the United States for the next so
years there would be revolution
similar to that in France, the cardi-
nal expressed his emphatic disap-
proval.
Il have more confidence in the peo-
pie of this country than to believe
such state of affairs could come to
pass" he declared. I'm the recent
democratic campaign many things
were said that might lead one to be-
lieve with Senator Bailey, but when
one understands the American people
he can see small chance for bloody
revolution.
cat the convention there was a
revolution, but of words. The Ameri-
can people have to have this sort of
revolution In term of years.
1.-THE men of the country like to
shout their ideas from the rostrum.
Other countries could not do this. In
this the founders of the republic
showed inspiration. This government
is like wheels within wheels. Though
some great calamity should come to
the big wheel, the central government
as Senator Bailey fears, the little
wheels of the state, city and county
governments would move on.
1.-THE people can be trusted. They
will do the right thing in a. crisis. +
can see no chance of repetition of
the French revolution in this country.
recall at this time part of the
prayer offered at the opening of the
democratic convention. / wrote that
prayer in the quiet Of. Carroll county,
and 1 chose my words advisedly.
II offered the following: May this
convention demonstrate oncel more to
the American people and to the world
at large that the citizens of the United
States have solved the problem of
self-governmept by exercising and toll
Grating the broadest and most UNI
trammeled freedom, of discussion. in
political assemblies without dethron-
ing reason. and without invading the
sacred and inviolable domain of law
and public order"
