OSBORNE ANTLFUS|ON
MOVE RECEIVES BLOW

Edmund b. Osborne's anti-fusion
resolution, which he sought to have
sanctioned by the Progressive County
Committee a month ago, was reported
out of the committee on resolutions at
the county committee meeting last
night and definitely tabled. Mr.. Os-
brne was not present for the first time
in three months.
With the small majority of one, the
county committee voted to have
county platform ready before the pri-
maries. to be drawn by a committee
consisting of one man from each ward
and municipality. This plan was sug-
gested by Algernon L. Sweeney, who
explained that it had worked out we'll
in Morris county. Axel Beekman,
however, opposed it, because, he said,
it was Just what had been denounced
in the Republican party. Former
Senator Everett Colby was inclined to
agree with Mr.. Sweeney, because he
saw no harm in platform that would
not conflict with the platforms of the
individual candidates, and the plan
went through by a vote OF 81 to 20.
Mr.. Colby was pressed by his friends
| in the committee to make an an
nouncement of his gubernatorial in
tentions but he remained firm in his
stand that he would say nothing until
he had taken counsel with his numer-
Gus friends throughout the State.

Minna C. Van Wrinkle asked. on be-

MANY CITY EMPLOYEES
GET HOLIDAY SATURDAY

While the City Hall will be open
on Saturday practically all of the
employees will have the day off. In
asmuch as all of the city offices will
be closed on Friday, the Fourth of
July, it was decided not to compel all
of the employees to return for the
half day on Saturday.
Heads of the various departments
decided today that while their depart
ments must be open on Saturday, it
will not be necessary for all of the
employees to be on hand. Most OF
them drew lots to determine who
should work.
The city clerks, comptroller's. treas
urer's, auditors and the various other
offices will transact whatever bust
ness is necessary with minimum
force.

ESSEX OFFICIALS
ALL FAR TOO GOOD
Hudson Freeholders Fall Be-
hind in Baseball Game,
Except in Errors.

r.. II. E.
Essex County. IA 10 30
Hudson County .......... 10 AZ
That, in brief, is the story of the
result of the annual ball game be-
tween the boards of freeholders of
Hudson and Essex counties played at
the Overlook Asylum for the Insane
yesterday.
1t will be noted that errors were
the things scored most numerously
by both sides, and it is only fair to
explain that the error column includes
errors of omission as well as COM
mission.
AS matter of fact the errors of
commission were rather widely scat
tered on both sides, as the free
holders method of playing ball is
not free-holding way at all On
the contrary, 1t is not holding
game, the ball being free to go where
it pleases most of the time. The
term widely scattered above means
that all the players made them; that
is, with one exception. Seymour GIL
bert, left fielder of the Essex team.
did not have an error. The ball did
not go in his direction once during
the four and half innings of play.
Director Walter A. Evans pitched
for the Essex team, and, attired as
he was in full baseball regalia,
looked like a second Mathewson in
the box. He got away pretty well
until the fifth inning. when Hudson
men mixed up several hits with
bases on balls and put five runs over
the plate.
Essex county did things that were
a shame to Freebooter Prior pitcher
for the Hudson team, in the second
inning, when eight runs trickled over
the plate. The Essex men could have
piled up much larger total for the
game than fourteen, but they got ,es
weary early in the battle and re
fused to run bases. They would only
advance on the paths when the ball
had been hit SO far or thrown wildly
to such a distance they could walk to
the next cushion.
Some of the features of the game
were the catching of John Fl. Waters
for Essex, his work being the real
thing. Freebooter Ernest Ryman,
mayor of Overlook, by virtue of his
position as chairman of the hospital
committee, wore a high near-silk hat
in honor of the occasion, and made
a distinct hit by his base-running
work. Going around the paths he
looked like a baby elephant doing a
turkey trot on a tabletop Uttered
with china dishes. Freebooter Gus
Lacombe performed well on the base
lines when he was able to keep his
feet, but he spent most Of the time
giving an exhibition, of high and
lofty tumbling.

NEED EXTRA SESSION
/ TO REMEDY WALSH ACT

JERSEY CITY, N. j.. July Act
ing Governor Fielder may be asked
10 convene the Legislature in special
eession some time this month to rec
3Sfv mistakes in the Walsh commls-
o,on government act and remove all
doubt as to the validity of the pres
ent administration. Many of the
original advocates of commission
government favor such action.
The argument advanced in favor OF
the special session Is the fact that
even il the attorney general were to
ioin in the quo warranto proceedings
and make 1t possible for former Cor
poration Counsel Warren Dixon to go
into court. the case would not be as
nosed of until next November. No
matter what would be the decision In
The supreme Court, the higher courts
would be appealed to, and year
would probably elapse before a maj
decision was reached.
IT is claimed that II Governor
Fielder were to convene the Legls-
Iature to pass remedial bill sucn
hill could be passed inside OF twelve
hours and without practically any ex-
pense to the State.
The fact that numerous municipail-
ties all over the State are concerned
about the question involved In Mr.
Dixon's attack adds to the desirable
ity of quick action, and such quick
action can only be assured by legls-
lative action.
Within a few hours, 1t Is asserted,
The LEGISLATURE could pass a bill that
would at once remove all doubt as to
tho validity of the government not
only of Jersey City, but also of Tren-
ton, of Ridgewood, Of Ridgfie'd PARK
of Nutley and other municipalities
that voted for the commission gov
eminent, but that will not have
legal government in case the conten-
ton of Mr.. Dixon should finally pre-
vail.
The situation is of Statewide I'M
portance, and Jersey City is by no
means the only municipality that is
deeply concerned.

Queues and Hair Supply.

Consul General Anderson, stationed
at Iongkong, has recently taken pains
to correct the widespread impression
that the growing tendency on the part
of Cinnamon to dispense with their
queues will have the effect OF making
false hair cheap. 1t appears that the
queues when cut are never sold. but
are always preserved for burial with
the owner. Mr. Anderson says that
this is an absolute rule throughout
South China, as well as in all other
parts of the country from which he

When a man isn't afraid OF ths

A girl gets an education out of her

Where a thin woman is so lucky is

A girl thinks she really needs diff

What makes man very comfort

A man doesn't care how generous
