"Don't Look So Idiotlcl"

IN the hall and presently Mrs. Ben
ming stood before him tragically hold
ing out something brown.
"Huh?" asked Benning, peering at
the brown thing.
What. may l ask" demanded his
wife, ARE you doing with brown silk
stockings In your coat pocket. Arthur?
Kindly answer me that"
She shook out the hosiery to its
full and discriminating length.
Don't look so idiotic!" she cried
when she could stand the strain no
longer.
"Why-why," stammered Benning.
IL don't know th-thing about them"
Whereupon Mrs. Benning went into
Mysteries and cried that Benning never
had loved her anyway and what had
she ever done that such an awful thing
should blight her life?
Darling" cried the frantic Rem
ming. "let me explain!"
Then explain!" blazed his wife.
Good Lord" groaned Benning, et-
ter q wild instant 81 can't! /"
81 shall go home to mother" an
nounced Mrs. Benning Il shall tell
the janitor to bring up my trunks"
The rest of that night Mrs. Benning
held her outraged head very high
while carrying things from the closets
and bureau drawers to trunks, Ben
ming alternately tagging after her,
piteously expostulating, or sunk In the
biggest armchair in an attitude ex-
pressive of complete WEAKNESS with
the world.
81 know 1t sounds foolish" he
moaned. Ito say don't know how the
COMPOUNDED things got there, but"
ct certainly does!" Mrs. Benning
assured him, frostily. 81 at least gave
you credit for more imagination"
1t was just after Mrs. Benning had
telephoned for a taxi In the morning
that the phone rang and Benning
stumbled to 1t.
"Hello!" said Usher's voice. Say,
have you by any chance got my wife's
brown silk stockings In your overcoat
pocket"
"Eere! Hurry" yelled Benning,
beckoning frantically to Mrs. Bsnning.
Come and listen to this!"
II don't care!" said Mrs. Benning
some moments later, when the crying
and forgiving were over. II never did
like that Mrs Usher, anyhow And
now, Arthur Benning, you can just set
to work and help me unpack.

Mrs. Usher found the coat. There

appeared bearing in her hands crum-

and hastily rammed home the hosiery.

SEVERE CRITICISM OF

Washington, April 11.-Severe
criticism of the Democratic tariff bill
was made today by Representative
Fordney' of Michigan, the veteran
Republican tariff maker. In state
ment prepared for the United Press
he said the Underwood tariff bill, II
passed In its present form, will be
disastrous to farmers and laborers.
The principle of protection of AM
erican labor and capital is practically
disregarded," he said, ION the chief
products of farms and factories of
the country. | firmly believe 1t will
not tend to better the condition OF
the people, but will have very op-
posite effect. | hope ! am unduly
alarmed"
He says an objection may be based
on the reduction in revenue as the in
come tax feature will not yield as
much revenue as will be lost.

Much Sentiment
for New County
PrO1OS:tion
FEEL IGNORED

Residents of South Plalnfield and
Iall that section of Piscataway town.
ship are heartily in favor of a branch
court house in Perth AmbOy. When
an EVENING NEWS reporter talked
TO some of the people In South Plain
field, however, be found them more
anxious to discuss the prospect OF
establishing new lounty, than any
thing relating to Middlesex county.
in fact, surprise was expressed that
the opinion of the people there was
even sought in regard to anything
that might be taking place in Middle
sex. The. general opinion was that
they were really a people without
q county.
!. THE county seat might better be
in New York city than in New Bruns-
wick, as far as We are concerned"
said one prominent man who has
been a candidate for a county office
and who knows how his section of
the county has been treated. I'VE
want a new county here, most of all,
but Of course court house at Perth
Amboy would suit us a great deal
better than where 1t is. We have
nothing In common with New Bruins
wick and it takes day to get there.
With the court at Perth Amboy we
would begin to feel that we are at
least part of Middlesex. OF course,
all our interests are in Plainfeld
and If we could get new county
with Plainfield as the seat of govern
ment, We feel that We could get some
recognition-but New Brunswick,
who ever thinks OF going to New
Brunswick here unless they have to-?
And this they avoid as much as they
can. We think that New Brunswick
is the most out of the way place IN
the county. Perhaps II the county
business were conducted at Perth
Amboy the people of South Plain
field could see some advantage of re-
naming as we are, but with New
Brunswick the county seat we are al
most unanimous for a new county.
''We are growing In this section,
too. There is the new borough OF
Middlesex that has just been ineor-
porated above us. New houses are
going up all the time and industries
are coming in. But we do not be-
lieye that Middlesex county, as
whole, realizes the true facts. Hy
ignoring us the sentiment to secede
has been allowed to grow until now
everybody wants the new county so
as to be drawn closer to Plainfeld,
which is our natural center. If we
cannot have that, the next best thing
Is a court house at Perth Amboy
which will at least bring us in touch
with county affairs far more than we
are now"

NEGRO PROBLEM NOT
B0THERINC PRESIDENT


Washington. April 11.-The ques-
ton of the appointment to office of
negroes Is not going to become a
problem of the present administration
it was learned today, nor will the
color line be drawn by President Will
son. There are positions which are
accepted as calling for negro officials
such as ministers to Hayti and LIB
eria and registrar of the treasury.
These will be filed when the terms
of incumbents have expired by other
negroes, If the President adheres to
his present position. He will not
name negroes for positions that have
caused what he considers unneces"
sary agitation. Consequently it Is
not likely that any negro will be
named for any of the positions in the
South, especially the Charleston col

Burning Buildings - Discord
Reported in Royal Household

early today burned the pavilion at

structure was totally destroyed. A
large photograph of Mrs. Pankhurst
the militant leader, was left at the
scene of the 'aTsonettes.'
The militants are as pleased as

household at Buckingham, caused
by difference in opinion regarding
the merits or demerits of votes for
women" Gossip has it that Lady
Salisbury and another lady in wait
ing to Queen Mary, have resigned
and that several other court ladies
are absent from the palace. 1t Is
said that Queen Mary has threatened
to demand the resignation OF the en-
tire household, because of the suffra-
gettes.
King George is having his troubles
too. One daring militant, whose
identity is now known, got hold of
the private telephone number of the
king, told the operators she was the
Duchess of Fife and called him up.
She asked him what he thought
about suffrage.

is reported to have replied, angrily,
hanging up the receiver. Other re-
ports have it that he took it as joke
That he is quite disturbed by the in

actions plainly indicated that they

frightened away by the change of
police shifts. With Patrolmen Cal
vim and Gutowski, he trailed them
northward on High street and caught
them between Broad and Washing

attempt to run up on the young
