Bernhardt,S Art
His Death BLoIv

CHICAGO, April 22.-Clin Gordon,
comedian, known as 1.-THE German
Senator" who was found dead in his
hotel room last night, had said a
few hours before that any one who
attempted to make an audience laugh
after Sarah Bernhard had made it
weep would die.
Gordon attempted 1t during an aft
ernoon performance and failed. This
affected him, for he said to the
theatre manager that it was the first
time in years he had failed to rouse
a laugh among his auditors.
"People sat in their seats stolid
and mirthless,' he said. 81 could not
get 'em and had to quit. Any come
dian who tries to follow Bernhardt
will die
He was not missed until time for
his night appearance. He had taken
a cold cure, and, according to a
physician, had swallowed about sixty

The customs port committee of the

investigation into the matter an
nounced to the directors of the board,
in session at noon today, that the
abandonment of Newark as an inde-
pendent port had been effected by an
executive order from President Taft

Under these conditions explained
Curtis r. Burnett, secretary of the
committee, there is a good chance
of our securing a special DISPENSE
ton whereby the port may be re-
tanned here after all.
"I have here a brief which the COM
mittee has prepared since the last
meeting with Secretary McAdoo, set
ting forth innumerable reasons why
the independent port should be re-
tanned in this city.
Congressman Mccoy and Senator
MARITIME are trying to arrange another

dent Wilson, wheE. this brief will be
brought to thei5 attention. in an eff

part of this month. If an interview
with President Wilson cannot be Sc
cured, a copy of the brief will be for
warded to him for his, perusal.
The report on freight rates, which
has been, compiled by Secretary
James M. Reilly and the special COM
mittee of the board. was read again
at the meeting of the directors today
and ordered printed. Copies will be
sent throughout the State to the
various traffic and commercial or
ganizations and civic associations

Professor Wiener, principal of the
Central Commercial and Manual
Training High School, appeared be-
fore the directors and made plea
for the cooperation of the Board of
Trade in assisting the school au-
thorities in their campaign to help
the Young graduates select their vo-
cation.
The matter was discussed to some
length and then referred to the edu-
cational committee for consideration.
In connection with Professor Wien
ers plea Secretary Reilly announced

next regular meeting of the board to
be held in May.
His subject, Mr.. Reilly said, will

In speaking of plans for the special
session, President johnson, of the
Senate, said that he would appoint
