to c|ngrossment Feb. Goth, af-
ter a hard fight. This is an adj

The Public Service Commiss-

accordance Herewith a com
mission of five members is to
be appointed by the governor.
As one of the five members we
suggest Omar d. Gray as, posi-
bly,, the most acceptable and best
equipped Democrat who could
be named. He is eminently quail
flied for efficient service on this
most important board. Honest,
energetic, reliable, his every Of

be . meritad and fitting recogni-

MIDDLE CAUSED
BY PRIMARY LAW
County Counsel Jones and City
Clerk Connolly Differ on
Progressives' Rights.

Considerable confusion is being
caused for the County Board of Elec-
tions this year in the Interpretation
of the provisions of the BGeran law,
law never very clear to the rank
and file of the voters. This confusion
has been accentuated by the injection
of another party into the matter, he
Progressive party, the members of
which were last year obliged to vote
in either the Republican or Demo-
cratic primaries because htey had no
party box of their own. Now, with
provision made for party box, the
question has arisen as to whether the
Progressives can vote for members
of their own party in face of the fact
that they voted in the Republican
primaries last year.
On this point there is great differ
ence of opinion. George L. Record.
lawyer. and Progressive leader, holds
that they can; County Counsel Ben
jamin f. Jones, whose duty it will be
to advise the County Board of Elec-
tions in the matter, holds that the
voters and the election officers also
lay themselves open to a charge of
misdemeanor IL such course is per-
mitted.
Just what view the election officers
will take in the premises is prob
lematical, and the matter will prob
ably not be properly adjudicated until
some election board refuses to permit
person who last year voted in either
the Republican or Democratic box to
vote this year in a Progressive box.

by their owners. Stewart had the
reputation of being the most expert

MAY HOLD
HER frances BOND
Vice-chancelIor Rules Against
Passaic Water Company on
a 81 900 Certificate.
IFrom a STAR Correspondence

TRENTON. Sept. 1.-the dispute
over a $1,000 bond of the Passatc
Water Company, which was given in
1895 by James Atkinson. an aged Pas
sale man to Miss Catharine Farrell.
to whom he was engaged to be mar
ried. was settled today in an opinion
filed in the Court of Chancery by
Vice Chancellor Stevens.
Miss Farrell died in 1909. having
drawn the interest on the bond dur
ing her life. Atkinson died in 1905
Since the death of Miss Farrell,
the bond has been in the possession
of her kin or Mrs. Jessie Farrell. the
administrators. who brought the SUIT
against the Passaic Water Company
and the executors of the estate or
Atkinson. to have the bond declared
a part of Miss Farrell's estate. The
defense was that no gift of the bond
had been proven. and that if Atkinson
had intended to give 1t. the gift was
imperfect, inasmuch as the bond had
not been registered in Miss F'arrells
name on the company's books.
Vice Chancellor Stevens decides
that a gift to Atkinson's betrothed
was shown and the real dispute is
between the administrative and the
water company to have the bond reg
istered as a part of the estate of Miss
Farrell. He decided that Chancery
NAV compel a performance of the
conpany's agreements to register the
bond.

Choice of
Tauo Finishes

The dispute over the rights of the
Progressive is not the only tangle
that the County Board of Elections
has to deal with. however. and some
of the voters themselves are not
clear as to Just what method to pur-
sue in registering and voting for the
primaries and general election.
Any person who voted at the gen.
eral election last year, it is said, is
entitled to vote at next Tuesdays
primaries without further registra-
ton, the names having been carried
over from last year. Anyone who
did not vote at last years election
and desired to vote at this years
primaries was compelled to register
at the registry day held a couple Of
weeks ago. If he failed to register
then he may still register for the
general election next Tuesday, viz
primary day, but, according to the
provisions of the law. he will not be
entitled to vote at the primaries.
In order to vote at the general
election in November a person must
be fully registered, which he can do
either on primary day or on the
registry day, which will be held be-
fore election. No one will be per-
mitted to vote at the primaries until
he has registered for the general
election
Therefore anyone who votes at this
years primary will first nave to
answer the necessary questions for
registration for the general election
before he is permitted to vote at the
primaries.
If a person was not eligible to be
carried over from the last general
election and did not register at the
last registry day all he can do at
next Tuesdays primaries Is register
for the general election, he cannot
vote next Tuesday.
There will be four ballot boxes in
each district this year, Democrat.
Republican, Progressive and Socialist.
As the last two parties named have
no election officers, under the law,
the Democratic and Republican cleo
ton officers are obliged to look after
their boxes and to record their
counts. The ballot boxes of the four
parties must be procured from the
city clerks office next Monday, the
day before the primary election.

back to the First Shortly afterward
he was returned to the Third and re-
manned on patrol duty in the Iron
bound district" until 1896.
In the latter year he was assigned
as detective or plalnclothesman to the
First precinct, then in command of
the late Captain Andrew McManus.
McManus, himself a detective with
an international reputation, had
sized up" Long as the calibre of man
for detective work. In 1897, when po-
lice headquarters were opened in
Bank street, Long was assigned to
detective work there and given the
rank of detective sergeant. He con-
tinued as a detective sergeant until
October, 1908, when he was elevated
to a captaincy and given charge of
the might shift" of the detective bu-
reau. One month later, on November

Hinchliffe and talked the matter over
with him. While he was of the opin-
ion that l had been against him. he
thought differently before left him,
and said that there was no doubt
but that persons had spoken falsely
about me-"
Regarding the reported charge that
he had misconducted himself in
office, which allegation is said to have
been made in letter to Senator Mar
tine and printed in more than one
newspaper, Duffy said that whether
he secured the position of internal
revenue collector or not, he did not
intend to let that story rest.

single wrong act during my term as
factory inspector. l have been adj
vised that the publication of such
charges were libelous, and l most

Democratic leaders in Passaic
county for the past day or two are
said to have been busy sending let
ters to Senators Hughes and MARITIME
declaring they are standing by Duffy
in this fight, reports to the contrary
notwithstanding.

tiers, must be forwarded to Common
Council for confirmation. This is the
law and the course was followed in
the case of Chief Engineer Paul }.
Moore, of the fire department
It is not thought that there will be
any question as to the appointment
of Long by the police board or his
confirmation by Common Council, as
he is known to be held in high esteem
by his superiors.
Captain Long has always proceeded
on easy, modest lines. Henever eourted
publicity, was never self-assertlVe
when it came to a question of fea-
turing in the limelight. being content
with performing his duty and leaving
the matter of appreciation of achieve
ments to his superiors on reports
submitted and facts known. 1t IS
said that his reports were invariably
concise and devoid of self-laudation.
But records go a great way some
times and furnish a deal of his
tory when the story of the career of
a man destined to fill an exalted pub
lie position is to be told. And no
one will say the office of chief of
police of the city of Newark is not
a position of vast Importance.
There are some things that even
surpass records when narratives are
concerned. The memories of old
newspaper men are not TO be de-
spised, for these memories have a
delightful habit of looking back

that Ghetto be-Long and many of

things picked from the book of mem

of course, did not figure in the task

fore them in reaching a conclusion
in the rating of eligibles. The COM
did not know, and it is
almost safe to hazard, that a recount
al will serve as a refreshing the
memory" tonic to Mr.. Long himself.
Obedient As Boy.
Michael T. Long was always of an
obedient disposition if his early his
tory can be accepted as criterion.
He would obey orders. He was born
IN Cherry Valley, New York, March 81,
1861, and two years later, almost eX-
actly fifty years ago, his parents de-
cided to move to this city and cast
their lot with Newarkers. Michael,
then but two years of age, very obe-
diently accompanied his parents to
Newark. He is now fifty-two years
