The governors big reception room

easily may be made a very dignified

son of a dingy green wall decoration

room is deprived of something like so

Charles S. Barrett. president of the
Farmers union, perhaps is the most
thoroughly indorsed Georgian whose
name has been mentioned to President
elect Wilson for cabinet portfolio.
On the Pacific slope Barrett is the
unanimous choice for the agricultural
commissionership. The newspapers out
there have been full of the Barrett boom
Tor weeks, and if he would agree to &C
cept the position, his Endorsement bv
the farmers of the entire nation viz
tually would be solid-and such an
Endorsement for secretary of agricul-
ture could not fail to impress the new
president profoundly.
Getting right down to brass lacks.
however, it is doubtful whether MIR.
Barrett would accept the place even if
rendered him. He has been president
of the Farmers union seven wears. and
likely will be president for seven more
if he wishes the job. He loves the
work he Is now engaged in, performs
it well and TO the entire satisfaction of
the union, and probably would not look
upon a cabinet position as anything in
the way of a promotion or additional
honor.
Nevertheless he must feel mighty
good to know that he is so prominently
and persistently urged for the cabinet,
even if he could not see his way clear
to accepting an assignment to it.

of the Newark Poor House, appeared
against his son and daughter-in-law
Mr.. and Mrs. William Ballinger. of
81 Haywood avenue, Orange, whom
he charged with swindling him out
of $3.50 in cash and an automobile.
The aged man exhibited a contract
which he had drawn up with his son
providing that for the above con-
sideration he should be cared for by
the couple for the remainder of his
life. After living with the couple
for four months he claims he was
forced to leave the house, and his son
testified that his father left of his
own accord. while his wife testified
that the old man, who is a sufferer
from locomotor ataxla, had threat
ened to do her bodily injury.
After hearing both sides of the
question Judge Hahn ordered the son
to return SIS and the automobile to
his father. This was not satisfac
tory TO the old man. who begged pitt
fully for $50, which amount, he
stated, would enable him to leave the
poorhouse.

BLACKSMITH ETIQUETTE
BARS DRESS SUIT IN SHOP
Court, as "Arbiter Eleganti-
arum," Gives Judgment.

Should blacksmith wear patent
leather shoes, or silk socks, or
starched collars, while at work?
Such was the question that John
Kriehman, of "a Jackson street, pro-
pounded to Judge Hahn today in the
Third Precinct Court. Krichman
was before the court on complaint of
John Kalin, blacksmith.
Kalin told the judge he started to
work for Krichman after agreeing
to take twenty cents an hour for his
labor at the forge. When he had
worked seventeen hours he received
ST.
Krichman then put in his question
on the garb of the smithy. He said
that he hired Kalin as blacksmith,
but though he looked too much like
a bookkeeper when he started to
work. II told him he was in the
wrong part of the works and fired
him." stated Krichman. "He replied
that was all right, his wife came from
the old country and knew the law.
According to this law he could sit in
the shop until Saturday night and
then ask for a weeks pay" he added.
When the erstwhile blacksmith de-
MED working in such inappropriate
dress as his employer stated, the
judge ordered Krlchman to pay the
man 81 and settle the matter. This
was done.
mo more highbrow blacksmiths
will work for me-" declared the irate
Krichman as he left the courtroom.

WEATHER VARIETY
FOR NEWARKERS
Fog, Hail, Rain, Snow, Wind
and Possibly the Sun Rec
ord of Day.

One of those London pea soup fogs
the kind you read about-descnd-
ed on this city this morning and
stayed about an hour and half 1t
was followed by a little rain and then
some more rain, while it grew so dark
the Public Service Company began to
think about lighting the street lamps.
For a change, it began to snow about
$50 o'clock, and persons who look
for that sort of thing, hail fell for a
short period. On top of all, the
weather man predicts a warm wave
and says thunder shower or biz
card is due this afternoon.
Regular spring weather followed
an ideal afternoon yesterday that
followed morning almost as bad
as this morning. Newark awoke to-
day to find the weather suddenly
changed. Yesterdays northwest Wind
blew in a fog bank and the tail-end
of storm that began on the Great
Lakes, but the temperature remains
high II is destined to go much
higher because a warm wave Is due
before many hours have passed, the
weather man says, and following to-
days varied storm the wind is sched-
uled to swing around and blow from
the south. on this account it is not
believed that the annual March snow
storm will not arrive for a few days
at least. Records show that the big
gest snow-storms come in this month
storms that usually tie up traffic
and assume the proportions of biz
zard. Because this winter has been
unusually mild wiseacres predict a
monster storm to finish off the season.
The fog this morning held up trains
in the northern part of the State,
and in some instances they were
compelled to run greatly behind
schedule time. The fog was so thick
it was impossible to penetrate it,
usually, for distance of more thar
100 feet When this cleared up it
grew dark as twilight so that lights
were kept burning until almost noon
in buildings here.
The snow came a intervals. as did
the rain, and once or twice, when it
looked as though it would clear up,
the elements broke loose again. The
weather man has hopes that the sun
will come out and remain later this
afternoon. At any rate, he promises
it won't grow any colder.

DOUBLE CROSS IN CARD
GAME INVOLVED THREE
All Plotted to Get the Shekels

"A" and eB'' had planned to beat

had framed 1t up to beat "A in the
same game. "B" thought he had a
snap, but he did not know that "a"
and CO. had also arranged to take
his money away from him. This was
the way Judge Hahn. in the Third
precinct, interpreted the story of two
alleged gamblers before him today.
The third of the trio had escaped.
1t developed that the game had
been double crossing" match
throughout and not one was aware
of the others dupllcity until today.
The original sucker" was John
Dowydiak, of 429 High street. He had
money in the bank and it was while
he went to get it that Peter Lafski
and another man. whose name Is not
known. arranged to play into each
others hands and take Dowydiak's
money from him. Lafski went out to
get his money and incidentally met
the man coming from the bank. These
two arranged to get" the other play
err Then as Dowydiak entered the
saloon where the game took place, the
fellow who is now missing, called him
to one side and asked for loan, at
the same time making a scheme
whereby he would not only get MS
money back, but also part of Lafski $,
Thus everyone was involved in the
fraud.
When the game broke up Dowydiak
was out $3.50. Lafski said he was
short, too. Dowydiak complained to
the police and Detective Miller ar
rested Lafski.
Lafsk was held in $1,000 bail for
the grand jury on a charge of grand
larceny.
