JERSEY C0hcRESSMEN
COULD NOT ATTEND
Special TO the EVENING NEWS.

Washington, D. c., May S.--Con-
trary to expectations, none of the
New Jersey members of Congress at
tended the funeral today in Newton,
N. j., of the late Representative
Lewis J. Martin, who died suddenly
in Washington Monday. The New
Jersey members had planned to leave
here for Newton on special train at
! o'clock this morning. But Repre-
setative Mann, of Illinois, the Re-
publican leader, insisted on having
the engrossed bill presented before
the vote on the tariff could be taken,
as is was impossible to get the en-
crossed bill until this afternoon, the
vote on the tariff will not be taken
until tonight.
The New Jersey congressman who
expected to attend the funeral. held
the technicality raised by Represen-
tatiVe Mann. which caused the vote
conference when 1t was learned o.
on the tariff to be delayed until to-
night. One of the members sug-
gested that Speaker Clark could ex-
plain why the New Jersey members
were not present. But Representa-
tive Scully replied that no one could
explain and result the members
decided to remain in Washington.
Representative Kinkead, Of Jersey
City, sent an explanatory telegram
to Mrs. Martin.

Men, Women and Children
Who Stole c. R. R. Box Car
Are Heavily Fined.
TOTAL AMOUNTS TO $50
Nine Boys Pay SO Each =
Adults $40 and S5--RaiI-
road Detectives Complain

Fines aggregating about $50 were
imposed last night by Recorder Pick
ersgill for the theft of a Central
railroad freight car. Three men
were fined $40 each, one was releas-
ed under suspension of sentence,
three women were fined IS each and
nine boys were fined SO each, P. F.
Hughes, Central railroad detective,
worked up the case and assisted City
Marshal Walters in rounding up the
accused. He pressed the charge of
theft against them.
The car in question was chopped
up by men and carried away in small
pieces to be used as kindling wood.
1t had been damaged In a collision
near the entrance to the Raritan
Copper Works several days ago and
was to have been removed to car
shops for repairs. When Central
railroad men appeared to take it
away on the morning after the
wreck they found only the trucks and
the two ends of it left. The defend
ants could give no good reason for
taking the car except to state that
they understood the wood work was
worthless to the railroad company.
They said they took it before the
railroad company burned 1t.
The court room was crowded dur
ing the hearing last night Someone
humorously remarked "In large CT
ties they steal automobiles, but here
they take railroad cars The men
fined $40 each were accused of chop
ping the car apart. They are John
Shanko, Samuel Uhas and Joseph
Framon, of Grant street. Mike
Dunn, thirty-nine years old, Of 40
Grant street, was let go under sus-
pension Of sentence. The women
fined SIS each were Annie Fetsko,

TEACHERS ARE
GIVEN ADVICE
Must Have Recreation Says
Charles S. Chaplin.

Counselling the doctrine of sun

to attain the science of proper teach.
ing, Charles S. Chaplin, principal oi
the State Normal school at Montclair
discussed "The Philosophy of q
Teachers Life" yesterday afternoon
at the high school auditorium, un.
der the auspices of the Perth Amboy
Teachers Association. This was the
final lecture of the series this season
before Perth Amboy's instructors in
education. Nearly every teacher in
the city schools was present, be.
sides a number of guests. The audi
ence seemed to gain an inspiration
from the speakers words, and listen
ed intently through the discourse
abounding in wholesome logic and
well-timed advice, which consumed
more than an hour.
Mr.. Chaplin began by saying that
he intended to speak on the philos-
ophy of teaching, which he consid-
cred more important than peda.
gogy and other studies. He stated
that there are characteristics which
follow every vocation and profess
sion; the clergyman and lawyer be-
come "bookish,' the doctor prosaic
and the artist, sentimental. He men
toned numerous characters In books
from well known English and Amer
lean authors Illustrating the eccen-
trio and Heterogeneous individuals
that the authors had pictured from
their estimation OF the inherent
marks and manners of TEACHER He
thought that the only ideal repre-
sentation OF teacher in any novel

declared is one of the keynotes of q

Proposition Advanced to Have

to Their Classification.
BIG CONTEST Is EXPECTED
First Class Counties 3 Sem

Third Class | Each.
tFrons the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, May SIN connection
with the question of changing the re-
presentation In the senate. a novel
proposition has been made which
may be submitted to the legislature
before the fight over the constitutions
al convention is settled This propo-
sal is to give the counties senatorial
representation according to their
classification. This plan would give
the first class counties, which are
Hudson and Essex three senators
each; the second clas5 counties,
which are Bergen Atlantic, Camden,
Burlington, Cumberland, Mercer.
Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Pas
sale and Union, two senators each,
and all the other counties one sena-
tor each. The counties then with one
senator would be Cape May, Glou-
cester, Hunterdon, Somerset, Salem,
Sussex, Ocean and Warren. This
would raise the membership of the
senate from twenty-one to thirty-six,
but would still keep the control of
the body in the hands of the smaller
counties. II any such provision were
enacted the senate chamber would
have to be entirely remodeled be-
cause at present 1t accommodates
only twenty senatorial desks, there
not even being desk on the floor
for the president.
The possibility of provision in

senators according to population is

stitutional convention question.

tion that would vote into the pro-
posed new constitution an article

This would give Essex and Hudson
counties three or four senators each,
while most of the South Jersey coun-
ties would be grouped in one or two
senatorial districts with only one sen
ator to represent each district. This

South Jersey to the Hennessy con-
stitutional convention bill

be another bitter fight in the extra
session on the constitutional conven-

lice learned today he worked two
