L0NGFELL0W'S
POEMS SUNG
Delightful Lecture Given In
First Baptist Church.

To hear a lecturer who can sing
as well as talk, doing both with ex-
ceptional ability, Is, indeed, a rare
treat Such an opportunity was af-
forded those who attended the lee
ture in the First Baptist church last
night when Rev. Arthur T. Brooks,
of Tarrytown, N. Y, gave his famous
Songs of Longfellow." This was
Mr. Brooks's second appearance on
the lecture platform in this city, but
the heat of the early evening evident
ly discouraged some who otherwise
would have been present. The
church was we'll filled and the audi
ence was so delighted with the even
ing that there Is no doubt about a
hearty welcome for Mr.. Brooks when
bc comes again, as 1t was assured
that he would, to give some other
lectures of his along the same line.
The selections last night were
taken from Longfellow's minor
poems that had been set TO music.
After giving a brief sketch of the
poem to bring out the lesson that
the verses contained, Mr.. Brooks
would sing the poem as set to music.
He has delightful baritone voice
full of richness and possessing a
volume that could easily have filled
an auditorium twice the size OF the
one in which he sang last night. A
feature that made his singing the
more delightful was the fact that
each word of the song was pro-
nounced so distinctly that everyone
could understands rare faculty In
singing that Is highly appreciated.
interviewer through the discourse
was a sketch OF the life of Longfel-
low. Mr.. Brooks declared that when
given in this "sugar-coated" form it
invariably made more of an impress
sion than when drawn out in a single
discourse filled with hard, dry facts.
Mr.. Brooks must be heard to be
appreciated. Some idea of the treat,
however, can be had from the follow
ing list OF poems which were sung by
the lecturer last night
Excelsior ....... Music by Lindsey
The Village Blacksmith ... Weiss
The Slaves Dream ....,.,. Weiss
GoooHisht .....'..' ....... NeNln
The Day Is Done. =. Music by Balfe

The lecture was another one OF
the many events OF the highest class
which the First Baptist church is
giving merely to afford pleasant
evenings entertainment, the ex-
penses being met by taking collec-
ton.

County Clerk Declares Next
Naturalization Court Will
Sit in New Brunswick
RESENTS BEING IGNORED
IN MAKING THE PLANS
Says Stricker Cannot Use
County Clerks Office TO Get
Free Advertising.

County Clerk Cannon wants it dis
tinctly understood. that Assistant
Prosecutor Joseph e. Stricken is not
yet running the whole county. At
least, Mr.. Cannon says, he is not the
boss of the county clerks office.
This statement was made in connec-
tion with the announcement by Mr..
Stricker in the EVENING NEWS yes
terday to the effect that Judge DAILY
would sit in Perth Amboy upon the
next occasion to hear applicants for
naturalization papers from this end
of the county.
"Mr. Stricken can bask in the
limelight all he wants to-" went ON
Mr., Cannon, but he is not going to
tell me what / shall do and what
not to do. All the books regarding
naturalization, and the clerical force
that handles these books are In the
county clerks office and as long as
| am county clerk / am boss of that
office. Mr.. Stricken did not consult
me regarding holding court in Perth
Ambay to hear applicants for natu-
ralization, and because he took il
on his own responsibility to an
nounce that the court would be held
In Perth Amboy, want 1t stated in
as big type as possible that the next
court for naturalization will sit in
New Brunswick and not in Perth
Amboy. | want 1t known that the
sole reason for my refusing to have
the applicants heard In Perth Am
boy is because Mr.. Stricken said they
would be heard there. This is SIM
ply another one of Stricker's lodges
to get little free advertising and I
don't propose that he shall get it
through the use of the county clerks
office
Several years ago I went to consld
cradle expense to hear applicants for
naturalization in different parts of
the county. | had my force at Perth
Amboy and at Roosevelt and else
where, where there were a large
number of foreigners to be natural
tzed, all at my own personal expense.
Then the United States government
stepped In and since then the hear
ings have been at the county seat.
That Is where the next hearing will
be just to show that Mr.. Stricken
has absolutely nothing to do with the
NATTER
Mr.. Cannon was highly incensed
In talking on the subject today. He
said that while Judge DAILY doubtless
had the right to say, where court
would be held, yet he did not be-
lieve he would act contrary to the
wishes OF the county clerk in the
matter of naturalization, when all
the records and clerical force must
come from the county clerks office.
Mr.. Cannon wanted 1t emphasized
that the stand he took In the matter
was due entirely to the efforts OF
Assistant Prosecutor Stricken to get
credit for something over which he
has no control.

NO MERGER IN
MONMOUTH co.
Eastern Utilities Corporation
Cannot Take Over Lighting Co.
(From the NEWS Correspondent }


Trenton, May 17:-Because OF the
prohibition contained in one of the
seven sister" antitrust laws passed
at the regular session of the present
legislature, the State Board of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners today an
nounced a decision denying the petit
tion of the Monmouth Lighting Com
pany to transfer $4,000 worth of
its capital stock to the Eastern Utili-
ties Corporation. The State Public
Utility Commission finds that the
Eastern Utilities Corporation is
merely holding company and that
to permit this transfer of stock
would result investing the corpora
tion with the entire outstanding
shares OF the Monmouth Lighting
Company and thereby give 1t abso-
Lutte control Of the latter company.

EXCEEDS RECORD

CHICAGO March 3.-B. w. SHOWS re
port on farm stocks of grain March /,
makes farm reserves of corn 1862, 900
bushels; wheat III 100000, and oats, 06t,-
600 600 bushels.
The percentages of last years crop now
held on farms are: Corn 42.9; wheat,
%: oats, 40.1. on the basis of Mr.. Snow $
returns applied to the government crop
estimate, the farm reserves would total
and oats, 565, 900 600 bushels. The reserve
of corn, 200 900, 600 bushels larger than
reserve held in 1911 out of the previous
largest crop ever grown, and is 47600O,00O
bushels larger than last year.
The mild character of the winter and
its effect on feed requirements is empha-
sized by the fact that the consumption of
corn since November !, out of the largest
crop ever grown, and at q comparative
low range of values, is little different
than the amount used last year during the
same period out of a very small crop and
al very high range of values.
The farm reserve of wheat is nearly
so, 100000 bushels larger than last year
out of a crop of 1903 900 600 bushels larger,
showing that one-half additional produc-
ton as compared with 1911, is still in first
hands. This showing of farm stocks har-
monies closely with the known recorded
facts of distribution of the year ending
March 1. The farm reserves in Mime
100000 bushels, against 1000, goo
bushels last year, and on the basis of a
300. 000, 900 bushel crop and carry over in
the four states, 1t harmoniZes with the
known distribution to date.
The farm reserve of oats is nearly
double that reported last year and is de-
cidedly the largest ever held at this date
