fowler MAY SEEK
TO Be GOVERNOR
Friends Urge Former Congress
man to Enter Race as Com
promise Candidate.
lsncclal % the NcMnrI, stnr.l

! ELIZABETH. \. j., April 11.-For-
mer Congressman Charles y. Fowler
is expected to announce himself as a
Guberna torial candidate within the
next few days. His supporters say
he would serve fttingly as a com
promise candidate for Progresslves
and Republicans.
As compromise candidate it is
pointed out that Mr. Fowler could
present all of the qualifications neces-
sary, but that he could never hope to
enter the race either as a Progressive
| or a Republican candidate owing to
the attitude-or lack OF attitude
which he took during the recent
Presidential campaign. lie was in
strumental in the formation of the
Union County League which support
ed the candidacy of Colonel Roose-
welt. and WAS chairman of the meet
ing at which The Bull Moose spoke
in this city just prior TO the Chicago
convention.
/ However. after the nomination Of
Taft. the former Congressman appar-
entity stepped out of the zone of agi-
| tation and took no active part in the
! interests of either candidate
! It was said at the time by leaders
who had never been too friendly with
him politically that he was waiting
until the turn of the tide SO that he
could ally himself with the party
that was carried to victory. Whether
or not this is true is much matter
of opinion, but. nevertheless, it stands
that after President Taft had been
nominated for reelection and after the
l.eolonel decided to play 1t alone Mr..
| Fowler was disereetly retieenl in any
attempt to advance the candidacy of
either man.
In view of this situation, were he
to seek the Gubernatorial nominal
ton, the Progressives could not OPP
| pose him on the ground that he was
a standpat Republican. for his record
as one of the original Congressional
insurgents and his subsequent ac-
tivity in behalf of the Roosevelt
] boom would deny the impeachment.
And on the other hand, the Repub-
leans cannot point to any instance
where he opposed the reelection Of
President Taft, all of which may
explain his attitude during the fall
campaign.

RECOMMEND DIVORCE FOR
SOUTH ORANGE RESIDENT

TRENTON, N. j.. April 11,-Sus-
tanning a charge of desertlon, Special
Master Harry n. Reeves has recon-
mended that Henry Brock. of Sc
Church street, South Orange, be
granted a divorce from Mrs. Mary
Brock. The desertion followed a quar-
rel in December, 1909, about two years
after the Brooks had been married at
Maplewood.
Mr.. Brock testified that during the
quarrel his wife attempted to attack
him with an axe. They were directed
to leave the house by the landlord
because of the disturbance. The mas
ter found that the reasons which pro-
voked tho quarrel and subsequent de-
sertion were that Mrs. Brock desired
to live in greater luxury than her
husband could afford, and failing to
obtain the things she wanted at home,
she attended dances, which frequently
kent her away until morning.

FV71S POLES TO
REPLACE OLD ONES
Combination Trolley and Light
ing Structures Planned for
Broad and Market Streets.

BY the erection of combination
trolley and lighting poles, work on
which was ordered by the Board of
Works yesterday afternoon, 1872 poles
: viii be eliminated on Broad and Mar
ket streets. The present span-wire
trolley poles win be done away with
entirely on both thoroughfares.
The new poles are claimed to be ar
tistic in design. Their use will neces-
state the Raising of the are lamps
on South Broad street about two feet.
and lowering those on North Broad
street about four feet This new
plan, which has been under consid-
GRAFTON for some time past, was sug-
gested by Commissioner Biertuemp-
tel
The present plan covers Broad
street, from Clinton TO Central ave-
nue., and Market street, from the
Pennsylvania railroad to the Court
House
In connection with the changing of
the poles. Moses Plaut, president of
the North Broad Street Merchants
of the Broad street lamps be changed
al the expiration of the present con-
tract on September ]. He suggested
that the present ares be replaced
with General Electric flaming ares.
Action, howeyer.s was deferred.
Mr.. Plaut's appeal. it is figured, is
the first step toward having the city
defray the entire cost of the Broad
street Lighting. The present flaming
arcs are operated at an annual cost
Of $500 per lamp. OF this amount the
city pays $40, the cost of maintain
ing the ordinary street are lamp, and
the merchants pay the remainder.
The lamp which the merchants now
ask for will, according to the Public
Service, cost about $12O a year each.
The lamp is new and has been sue
cessfully tried out at Military Park
Tor the past several months.
Commissioners Biertuempfel, chair
man of the lighting committee, is in
favor Of having the board defray the

an opportunity of defending them
selves.
Tor economical reasons you say"
continued the commissioner, and
this may mean anything. So Ear as
know it may mean economy in
politics. Where an employee of the
city is inefficient | will not for a
minute protect him, in fact l would
be the first to demand his discharge,
The charge in this sense is altogether
too broad"
You may not know it, shot back
Kraemer, but the employees under
you. and possibly employed by you
when you were chairman of the water
committee, are incompetent and have
cost the city thousands of dollars by
their gross negligence and inatten-
ton to business.
ECONOMY was the platform on
which we were elected and we intend
to carry out our campaign pledges.
Since January 1 we have reduced our
payroll $4,000. and I don't think that
we have impaired the efficiency of any
of the departments in the slightest
respect"
Mr.. Gillen reiterated what Commits
sioner Traemer had said and held
the former board responsible for the
present mixup on the garbage propo-
sition. He declared that if the con-
tract had been given out when it
should have been-at least six months
| before the expiration of the old one
the present situation would not have
occurred. 1t showed. NE said, a lack
of business methods.
In answer to the Democratic menu
| bers Mr.. Denman declared that the
garbage situation was the result of a
lack of supervision; that it would not
have occurred il the fifteen garbage
inspectors had been retained in SER
vice.
/. As the resolutions in each case were
read Mr. Denman voted NO in each
instance, but they were adopted by
the votes of the four Democratic
members.

BRYAN'S BIRTHDAY.
Distinguished Guests at Lincoln in
Honor of Event.

Lincoln, Neb., March 19.-William
J. Bryan, secretary Of state, arrived
today and was met at the station by a
reception committee from the state
legislature and local Bryan club, I'M
der whose auspices the annual Bryan
birthday dinner is to be given tonight.
Mr.. Bryan was accompanied by Mrs.
Bryan, his daughter, Mrs Ruth Bryan
Owen, and Governor Dunno. of Illi-
nois. They were taken in automobiles
to local hotel, where Mr.. Bryan held
an informal reception. Governor
Hodges of Kansas greeted the visitors.
Relative to President Wilson's
statement on the Chinese loan, Mr..
Bryan said: The presidents state
ment on the China loan situation COW
ers the whole ground, and 1 am sure
it will be approved by the country. 1t
is not merely a negative refusal to re-
new the request made by the last ad
ministration, but positive declara-
ton of the presidents desire to assist
China and our own business interests
in every legitimate way.
1T can hardly be doubted that
China will be pleased with the presi-
dents attitude and the business men
of the United States will be benefited
by the friendly feeling which the pres
ident's statement is sure to arouse
among the Chinese"

peka.
Three years ago when I was first

promised to enforce the prohibitory
and all other laws. I now leave it to
the good people of Topeka to judge
what attempts I have made in the last

II promise now that 1 will continue
to enforce the prohibitory law in To-
peka-enforce it in the future as I
have in the past"
And this is all the mayor would say.
He would make no comments on the
charges brought against him from a

The president will be in frequent
conference hereafter with Representa-
tive Underwood, Democratic majority
leader of the house, and Senator Sim
mons, upon whom will fall the chief
work of drafting the bill. 1t is be-
lieved the president will meet in con-

gram will be one of close conmunica-
ton and simultaneous study on the
part of the committee and the presi-
dent before the extra session begins,
SO that the tariff may be disposed of
in as brief a period as possible, thus
giving time for other legislation.
A conference later between Sena-
tors Simmons, Hoke Smith, Williams,
Hughes and Chairman Underwood and
other members of the house ways and
means committee resulted in the gen
eral understanding that tariff rates
will be thoroughly considered jointly
by the house and senate committee
and President Wilson before the tariff
revision actually begins in the house.
