WILSON'S VICE-PRESIDENCY
VIEWS SHOCK MARSHALL

WASHINGTON. March 20-Vice-
President Marshall was observed in
the Congressional Library yesterday
intently and somewhat excitedly
reading a morocco-bound volume.
which he suddenly put down, with a
suppressed exclamation.
A senator picked up the volume.
which was entitled Congressional
Government, by Woodrow Wilson"
This is what Mr.. Marshall had been
reading:
There is very little to be said
about the Vice-President of the
United States. His position is one Of
anomalous insignificance.
His chief dignity, next to presid-
ing over the Senate. lies in the cir
cumstance that he is awaiting the
death or disability of the President.
And the chief embarrassment in dis
cussing his office is that, in explain
ing how little there is to be said
about II. one has evidently said all
there is. to say

ACCUSES PARTNER OF
MISUNDERSTANDING FACTS

Out of the receivership proceedings
brought by George H. Budke against
the Schalkenbach & Budke Company,
Of Jersey City, there Is liable to grow
an action for damages. The senior
member of the firm, Robert n. Schal-
kenbach, declares Budke has mis-
represented the company's liabilities
in his application for a receiver, and
he may sue for alleged damages to
the business. The plant Is now at a
standstill.
At the time of the incorporation the
agreement was that Budke would in
vest $50, 900 In the firm. He says ne
placed $4,000 over this amount to the
companys credit, while SchallSenbach
claims the total amount was greatly
under the $4,000 figure. Schalken-
bach claims the books of the company
are in such condition that 1t is I'M
possible to tell what the exact amount
was.
Another claim made by Schalken-
bach is that, Budke saddled the com
pany with a lot of real estate it did
not need when he was unable to raise
the $50, This property was heavily
mortgaged and payments on these
mortgages was drain on the com
pany's assets.

WANT A LAW TO
LEGALZE POLICE

ture TO Remedy Defect
in Charter.

Although South Orange village has
had police sergeants patrolmen and
chancemen for the past thirty years
the village has had no authority to
employ them, its authority extending
only to the employment of q marshal
and constables to do police duty. This
has just been discovered, after hunt
by the authorities through the special
charter of the municipality.
As result, a bill fathered by
Chairman Edward A. Marks, of the
police committee of the Village Board
of Trustees has been introduced in
the Legislature legalizing the police
department
The discovery that the police de-
partment officers had been Illegally
named was made following the accu-
sations made by Acting Fire Chief
Patrick McCahery that the village
trustees had no authority 10 estab-
fish a paid fire department This
proved to be correct also, and so 4
bill legalzng the fire department has
also been introduced.
Though strenuous efforts were made
yesterday by South Orange village
officials to have the bill legalizing
the fire department adopted. no ac-
ton was taken on the measure. Act
ing Fire Chief McCahery was present
to oppose the passage Of the bill and
letters bearing the signatures of
Democratic County Committeeman
John j. O'Hanlon and former County
Committeeman Patrick Ash favoring
the measure were presented.

Gladys Staley, a belle from Bryn
Mawr, has sailed for Columbia on
the United Fruit steamer Santa Mar
ia, leaving behind fourteen under
graduates from the University OF
Pennsylvania, each of whom had gone
to the steamer to hear if Miss Staley
would accept his proposal of mar
riage.
With so many suitors present at
one time. Miss Staley found herself IN
situation that might have proved
embarrassing to a girl less courted
than the belle of Bryn Mawr. Diplo
matically, she told each one that she
would not give an answer until she
returned from her vacation.
A few minutes after the Santa
Marta had left her pier two of the
college students were discovered on
board Captain Porter immediately
ordered them to climb down to the
tug that was alongside and get

PRES. WILSON MAY URGE
DIR. ELIOT TO ACCEPT POST

WASHINGTON, March 20.-At the
White House today it was said that
the reported declaration of Charles
w. Eliot, president emeritus of Har-
ward. that he would decline diplo-
matte appointment If one were offered,
might not deter President Wilson
from urging DR.. Eliot to reconsider
and take under advisement an offer
of a foreign post.
The appointment to London was
thought to be the most likely offer if
one were made. 1t has been reported
that DR.. Eliot declined a similar offer
from ex-President Taft.

HOPE OF MODERN WORLD
LIES IN THE THINKER

Taking as his subject THE New
Era" and treating the subject in it's
religious, political, social and eco
nomic phases, DR.. S. Parkes Cadman
in an address delivered at the
monthly meeting of the Wednesday
Club at the Continental Hotel last
night declared that the hope of the
modern world lies in the man who
thinks.
THE real man of today and the
future is not the political bawler who
talks of saving the country, but the
man in the laboratory with his eyes
glued to the microscope ten hours a
day, who saves our children, and
hence our country"
DIR. Cadman paid a tribute to David
Livingstone, the African missionary
and explorer whose anniversary is
now being COMMUNICATED.

ALCATRAZ, 1.-THE ROCK"
ABANDONED BY ARMY

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2o.-Aica !.
traz island, known as "the rock
throughout the army. is to be aban-
doned as a military prison and turned
over to the department of justice as
a place of Incarceration for civil Of
tenders against the government. The
San Francisco Chronicle makes this
declaration today, but gives no au-
thority.
Alcatraz has been a military prison
ever since its usefulness as a station
of the coast defenses passed with the
coming of high-power cannon. No
prisoner il is said, has ever escaped
from "the rock alive. 1t is situated
in the channel a little more than a
mile inside the Golden Gate and
swept by fierce currents, which make
it almost impossible for a swimmer
to reach the mainland.

WILL AVOID ANY
ISSUE WITH WILSON
Representatives in Congress
Find Food for Thought in Pres
ident's Legislative Ideas.
Star Bureau.
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg.
WAQHTNETnN MAR 81

Members of Congress are wonder
ing if President Wilson proposes to
use the same methods of putting
through legislation in that body that
he used in the New Jersey Legisla-
ture. The idea of a former governor
of a state sending orders from the
White House to a legislature that
it must keep the party's pledges has
been an eye-opener to many repre-
sentatives. They are specializing as
to whether Mr. Wilson will be as ine
sistent in his demands upon Con
gress.
His Colleagues"
Reference by the President TO
members of Congress as his "legis-
latiye colleagues" in the Tillman
letter nave suggested relationship
between the White House and the
capitol that has not been attempted
by any President in recent years, at
least. Roosevelt urged measures
upon Congress and accepted compro-
misses rather than make issues of these
measures that might have resulted
in party discussions. Taft, asserting
himself to be the "titular head of
his party, attempted to read mem
bers of Congress out of the party
when they refused to meet his de-
mands.
His New Method Studied.
Wilson's insistence upon the keep
ing of party pledges in New Jersey
by the passage of laws along the
lines laid down by himself, and his
refusal even of referendum attach
ment to the jury bill, denouncing it
as breach of party faith, is being
studied by congressman as method
of forcing legislation which is new
to them. Some of them are wonder
ing whether. if it should come to a
disagreement between the White
House and the majority forces in
Congress on the tariff or other party
questions, the President would follow
the same lines of action and insist
upon making the issue between HIM
self and Congress.
Those who are specializing on this
line, for the most part, are agreed
that. whatever their personal views
of the matter, the safest plan for the
Democratic majority will be to avoid
such an issue. III. B. w.
