WANTS NO-LAW RULE TO
Do UP NEWSPAPER FOES
Gaynor Would Revive Custom
of Boyhood Home.

NEW YORK, Jan 29-"Forty
Newspaper Owners" and His Boy
hood Life at Skeeterboro.' were
themes touched upon by Mayor Gay
nor, in an address to the Society of
the Sons of Oneida at the Hotel
Aston, last night. His compliments
to the former are best expressed in
his own words. His wit kept his
hearers laughing with enjoyment.
The mayor described a custom of
his neighbors. a no-law rule, which
settled small disputes satisfactorily
among farmers who did not have to
sell their COWS to pay lawyers.
Il would like to have that custom
of 'no-faw' down here" he said. eff
we had it here, there are two or
three fellows who own nasty news
pauers and | would like to have it
out with them on that basis. I don't
want to boast, because | am growing
old, but 1 really think 1 could do
them up, too.
They may think they can do men
up with their nasty pens, but
think / could do them up the other
way. l. think l have sand enough
left in me for that, and it would
not require much, either, to tell the
truth"

suffrage leaders braved law, winds

hold street meeting to ask Presi-
dent Taft to grant holiday on March

participate in the suffragist parade.
Chairman Black. of the Civil Serv-

marchers will not be held guilty of
"pernicious political activity" The
committee in charge of the regular
inaugural procession On March A has
held out the olive branch to the
suffragists by announcing that they
might participate in the big pageant
if they will ask for the opportunity.
The women'5 leaders scorn the sug-
gestion and will confine their march
ers to their own parade on March 8.

Herbert L. Staples, secretary or the

American Playground Association,
and a worker in the Fairgrounds of
New York city, emphasized the fact
that the Fairgrounds must provide
not only wholesome recreation, but
developmental recreation. 1t must
teach the young people the meaning
of the square DEAL" the considera-
ton of the rights of others. He point
ed out that play in the street is not
only dangerous to bodily safety, but
it is also incentive to lawlessness as
to satisfy the craving for baseball,
etc, the young players must break
the law.
Play Space Is Financial Problem.
1.-THE problem of providing play
space for children is financial prob
lem" continued Mr.. Johnson. THE
city must do the providing for COM
recreation is not good.
Fairgrounds are needed not only for
the young children, but for the grow
ing boy and girl of IA. 16 and Is.
Nothin less than a block should be
purchased at one time for an ade-
quate system of recreation. The
should be equipped for
all aMes and should be arranged so
that they can be in use 1865 days
in the year"
Miss Ruth E. Healy, an instructor
in athletics in the city public schools,
suggested the following methods by
which Newark can prove that she
knows how to care for her girls:
First, by exercising some supervision
of athletics over girls in schools other
than public; second, by giving to the
girls who work before they are fully
matured a chance to breathe fresh
air and to take at least once day
those physical exercises which give
growth 10 body and mind alike;
third, by appointing a woman school
supervisor for the physical training
of girls; fourth, by forming special
classes in physical training for the
physically precocious girl; fifth, by
encouraging the formation of Camp
Fire Girls clubs.
In order to illustrate the low class
of music and songs which prevail in
the public dance hall, and which Miss
Laddey suggested should be forced
TO pass a board of censorship, several
popular songs were read by Miss M.
e. Baumgarten and the music played
by Miss Daisy Nicoll. To bring out
the contrast some of the old-time
songs, such as Annie Laurie" were
read and played.

The police and firemen were kept

from their sleep by the changing of
fire bells. A high, brisk wind made
the task OF the fire-f1ghters difficult
and the water frozen on the street
also hampered them A number of
telephone and lighting wires were
broken down. When the roof of the
Kirch building collapsed shortly
after the firemen arrived there was
no one in the building.

SAYS U. S. SHOULD HAVE
SHIPPING RATE CONTROL

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-E. M.
Null, of the Bull Steamship Com
pany, before the House ship trust in
vestigating committee today. recon-
mended government regulation OF
shipping conferences that fixed rates.
"a copmission should be created
similar to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, he said. This COM
mission could supervise the making
of rates by the conferences and pre-
vent the present 'freeze-out game
In this way you would get stability
of rates without excessive rates. We
have rate conferences of railroads
and the commissions find no fault sc
long as the rates are not excessive
