City Now in Hands of
Legislature.
IFrom a stan Correspondent


TRENTON, n. j.. Feb 11-Prac-
tically all of the measures affecting
Newark which will be considered by
the present Legislature were intro
duced before the House when the
Essex delegation offered seventeen
bills at the session last night
Mr. Papscoe introduced a bill which
IL passed will settle a dispute now
pending before the Essex County
Board of Taxation. 1t applies par
ticularly to the Catholic Cathedral,
in Newark. which has been under
construction for several years, al
though no work has actually been
done on it for some time.
BY the bill such buildings as this
and educational and charitable build
ings. as well as five acres on which
they were situated, would be ex-
empted from taxation. The county
board sought to tax the cathedral
on the grounds thai no work was
being done and that, therefore, it was
not being used as an ecclesiastical in
stitution. The attempt met with much
opposition.
The status of William J. McKier-
nan, formerly supervisor of Newark
Fairgrounds, would be settled adj
versely for Mr.. McKiernan by the
bill introduced by Mr.. Mcguire. which
takes the powers resting in the Gus
todian and places them with gen.
erai director Mr. MeKiernan is
relying on the civil service TO support
his contention that he is still custo-
= lie
that the commission has employed a
new supervisor.
Another measure of Importance to
Newark is that introduced by MIR.
Bracken limiting weight and speed of
vehicles which viii be allowed to pass
over roads and bridges. 1t is also
designed to apply to heavy motor
trucks, which injure roads.
The Newark free dental clinic bill
was introduced by Mr.. Fisch and
gives the clinic chance of obtaining
SO COG a year or $4,000 more than is
allowed now 1t also makes children
the only ones eligible to free treat
ment, there being no age limitation
at present.
A bill by Mr. Bracken authorizing
freeholders to issue bonds not eX-
ceeding s525, 900 for development OF
| parks would enable Newark to com
plete lis park system
Local boards of health are giver
the same power as the State BOARD
of Health, regarding foods. in Mr.
Rowe's bill.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Bloom
permitting the use of paving, sewer
refuse, filing or other material own
ed by first-class cities in the grading
| curbing, paving, etc, of streets snt
highways. would enable Newark tc
fill in Delaney street before that
new thoroughfare is opened very
cheaply and would also allow paving
blocks removed from one street to be
laid in another at a saving to the
| city
Mr.. Foley introduced new bill
authorizing frst-class cities to appro-
pirate $4,000 annually for music in
public parks and public amusement
places and withdrew his other some
what similar bill because it would not
permit municipal concerts in the win
ter.
Mr.. Nutting put in bill providing
that all public auction sales shall be

John Grier Hibben. president of
Princeton University. expressed at
the meeting of the Presbyterian
Union at the "old First" here last
night In this he took issue with
Schiller, who, he said, regarded the
aesthetic feeling as all-sufficient.
The German poets view would be
correct. DR.. Hibben said, IL to TIE
love Of beauty, upon which he laid
so much stress, he had added "the
law of higher control
This law, according to DR.. Hibben,
was what was lacking to give true
value to the tremendous outburst Of
the longing for beauty during the
times of the Medlci and of Louis
NV. These times, DIR. Hibben said,
amply served to disproye Schiller's
utterance.
By 1.-The law of control" DIR. Hib-
ben explained, he meant the mastery
of mind over matter.
DIR. Hibben started from the power
of beauty bringing forth the critical
sense and the latter in turn appre-

ELWELL ROAD LAW CASE ON
Supreme Court Eventually May Get
.,# Test Litigation Started by
I'll County Commissioners M

Minneapolis.-A test of the Elwell
road law has been begun by the board
of county commissioners following a
conference with members of the Civic
and Commerce association and the
case eventually may be taken to the
supreme court.
When roads are constructed under
the law the state pays one-half of the
cost, the county one-fourth and the
remainder is assessed against the
benefited property. 3"
The test will be made on the Rock
ford road between Osseo and Rock.
ford. Property owners along the road
refuse to pay the assessment. They
declare the law unconstitutional.
To begin a test case, the county
commissioners today voted to pay one
half of the expense of construction,
thus assuming the burden that the Ell.
well law places on the property own
ers.
Alexis Caswell, representing the
Civic and Commerce association, said
the association, through taxpayer
would at once ask for an injunction
to restrain the commissioners from
paying more than one-fourth of the
total expense of the road. The case
may then go to the district and SUI
preme courts.

ALFALFA EXHIBIT IN FIELD
Farmers Show Products From Field
and Home and Serve a Big
Dinner.

Fergus Falls.-The farmers of Star
Lake township in Ottertail county, be-
ieve in giving good setting to their
predominating interests, as shown by
the fact that no less than 100 families
assembled in an alfalfa field last week
to hold the second annual exhibit of
the Lake Side Farmers society. A big
picnic dinner was a part of the days
program.
Prizes were awarded for farm prod
ucts and articles of home manufac-
ture, including corn, potatoes, vege-
tables, grains, both in sheaf and
threshed, some livestock, bread, pas
try, canned fruits and vegetables, but
ter, needlework, cooking by the girls
and woodwork exhibited by the boys.
The program for the day was fur
nished by the county agricultural
agent of Ottertail county, F. R. John
son, and the supervisor of county
agents, Frank E. Balmer of Morris.
Mr.. Johnson spoke of the importance
of early selection of seed corn and
the value of the work of the farmers
clubs. Mr.. Johnson told the farmers
.hat they must go into the fields be-
fore killing frosts and select good type
of ears from strong thrifty stalks,
hanging them up for curing the same
day, or better the same half day, that
selection is made if good seed is ex-
pected to be had for next years plant
ing. The corn may be selected by
carrying a sack over ones shoulder,
taking two or three rows at time,
or by the use of long sled or stone
boat with box that will hold four or
five bushels which may be drawn be-
tween the rows by horse The dou-
BILE string and the corn tree methods
of arranging corn for drying were
demonstrated.
Mr.. Balmer told these present that
if every farmer in Ottertail county
would plant ten acres of alfalfa, sup
plying the conditions required for it's
successful growing, the product in any
year would buy a silo, furnish any
farmer with the means to start in
raising pure bred or improved live
stock, buy an automobile for the fam
lily, or it would put a washing machine
in the home with gasoline engine
attached to it and put running water
in the house.
