A Methodist Saint Of Newark

We do not know whether the sub
iect of this sketch is still in this
world, or already in her place
among the saints triumphant.
Like all persons of heroic virtue,
she knew nothing about it herself,
and would have been astounded to
read eulogy Of herself in a news
paper. Yet she lives in the minds
of many as candle that is set
upon a candle-stick, giving light to
all that are in the house. An ex-
ample of the highest, as they are the
rarest virtues, Charity and Justice.
She was an honour to her relig-
ion, her home, and her state.
There is an old tl'uism, eve must
live with people to know them. .
This being the case we may our
selves speak advisedly, as we were
for several years under the roof OF
Mrs. David W. Caskey, better
known to her intimates as Mary
Caskey.
One demands unreasonably, but
naturally that saint should be
good looking, and this our Mary
was. Her piquant face, her round
ed little figure, her most sunshlny
of all smiles quite came up to our
,,11,A,D nt ,,hai
dear and good a soul. When rain
fell in torrents, Mary Caskey bub-
bled with cheerfumess. When every
body else in Newark was glum or
rebellious, she wondered why. With
fourteen in the family, and provi-
dentiaily relieved of negro "help
in the kitchen, she blithely sang,
There's s land that is fairer than
gold"
She came from the Love Feast of
her church with every apparent re-
suit of sacramental communion.
Love for all mankind not only over
flowed from her heart but took the
form of the most sacrificial charity.
Upon one occasion a little band
of Salvation Army exhorters visit
ed Newark. There was work cut
out for them there-plenty Of it
and they knew it; but neither OF
the two hotels would give them
shelter. There was in fact, no
room at the inn, and the proprle-
tors frankly said so. This preJu-
dice would probably not hold IN
Newark today where arc lights diff
fuse radiance and civilization.
In a drenching storm, when the
streets splashed with mud they
knelt on the pavement opposite
Mary Caskey's home. They pray
ed aloud, and without apology for
the people of'Newark; that the just
might become more just and re-
ceive the reward of their deeds !;
that the sinners might be converted
and live. About ten O'Clock word
reached Mary that there was no
Christian charity anywhere around
that was vital enough to extend
hospitality to these earnestly good
people.
She conferred hurriedly with her
family, and then the door OF her

HAS WIRELESS
TAPPERS' CODE
Dist. Atty.-Whitman Keen on Trail
Leading to Police
Headquarters.

New York, Nov. 24.-What is believed
to have been a secret code employed by
Wireless wire tappers in their extensive
swindling operations, confessed to by
men under arrest here, was solved Sat
urday at the office OF Dist. Atty. Whit
man. As result, the prosecutor hopes
to substantiate the confessions, which
set forth that several high police officials
have assessed the wire tappers in return
for projection for several years past.
The graft trail leads to police head
quarters itself, according to information
given to Mr.. Whitman, who expects in
dictments next week.
In his investigation, which has been in
progress since the Staying of Herman
Rosenthal, gambler, by gunner, 10
months ago, Mr.. Whitman has been puz-
zled frequently by mysterious messages
found to have been exchanged among
wire tappers. The key to the cryptic
references as worked out by the pros
ecutor's assistance is as follows:
"Dr. Friedman" Dist.-Atty. Whit
man.
young DR. Friedmann"- Asst. Dist
Atty. f. J. Croehl.
Mr.. Longlegs"-A retired police cap
tain; recently grand jury witness.
big Dick"-A private detective cog
infant Of what was going on in the
prosecutors Office.
With this key the investigators hope
to emphasize to the grand jury the sig
nificance of heretofore unexplained mes
sages which are now believed to indicate
that the suspected police officials were
allied with the wire tappers.
The text of one of these messages was:
q saw DR.. friedman to-day and he
advises against the operation" which is
as warning to wire tappers
to abandon certain swindle because
Mr. Whitman probably was aware of
their plans. Another message read: "Mr.
Longlegs was in and he knows all about
it; it meets with his approval" which
translated is believed to have informed
the wire tappers that police protection
was assured to a certain swindle.

sons, because some OF the vessels OF
his line are operated under the Am
erican flag, and some, being Of for.
eign build, are operated under foreign
flags.
Here is one concrete illustration:
The Grace Dollar, under the Ameri-
can flag, has a lightweight capacity
Of 1890 tons and carries LOO, 900 feet
Of lumber. The NJ. S. Dollar, under
the British flag, has a d~ead-weight ca.
pacity of 5000 tons and a lumber ca
pacity of 100000 feet. The smaller
American ship costs $133.l5 per day
to operate; the larger British ship.
$l00.Sl. The only practicable remedy
Tor this condition, he believes, Is to
permit Americans to operate steam
ships in the foreign trade under the
same conditions as those obtaining in
foreign countries.

THE BUDGET

The Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States, by referendum Of us
organization members, stands for the
adoption of the budget system in re-
lation to government expenditures.
The good judgment of the chamber
in making such a united recommend
alton to congress is confirmed by the
financial operations Of July, the first
month in the present fiscal year. A
deficit of $9,632 GS2 is shown. This
has not arisen from a decline in gov.
eminent receipts, which, as a matter
of fact, have exceeded those of July
1912, by $659,191 (July, 1912, $1,353.-
992; July, 1913, $6O,231, 524), but from
the method of making appropriations
without stopping to consider the
sources Of revenue.
The budget plan should, and,
through the good sense Of the nation,
will ultimately be adopted. 1t will
compel the executive to report to the
legislative branch the needs of all de-
partmental activities and the expect
ed revenue for the year. 1t will thus
place upon congress the full respOn-
sibility of making appropriations 9th
er than those asked for.

DRAWING PECULIAR COLOR LINE

For twenty-five years, under sue
cessiVe democratic, as well as repuD-
lican administrations, the office Of
the treasury has been filled by ne
groes, this being the only RESPONSE
bic office under the federal govern
ment to which men of that color
could aspire. Following this settled
practice, President Wilson, to fill a
vacancy, appointed as register Of the
treasury A, H. Patterson, an intel
ligent, we'll educated and highly re-
spectacle negro.
He promptly raised a storm in so
doing. The democratic senators could
stand being instructed daily in their
duties and told exactly how they
must frame laws in order to meet
with the approval of the president,
and they stood without hitching. But
the idea of a negro being appointed
by a democratic president, himself OF
southern birth, was too much. Sew
eral southern newspapers, warm sup
porters of the administration, also
felt called upon to criticise the pres
ident severely for this raising of a
race ISSUE"
= Mr.. Patterson is a democrat, and,
with higher regard for his party in
terests than was shown by the demo
cratic senators who opposed him, he
got the president out of an embar-
RAISING situation by voluntarily with
drawing, leaving the president to fill
the vacancy otherwise. Thereupon
the president appointed to the posi-
ton Gabe Parker, a full-blood ChOc-
taw Indian Of Oklahoma, and the
nomination was promptly confirmed.
Not a voice was raised on the demo
cratic side to oppose it. 1t was, in
deed, generally satisfactory to all the
democrats.
This is somewhat of an unfair
drawing of the color line, but it is
what is to be expected from the dom
1nant wing of the dominant party.

according to all reports, they receiv-
ed a warm reception. ebert = as he is
commonly called, hadn't ventured
down to the old stamping ground
since his, marriage, partly because
there was not much very urgent bust
ness there, and partly because he was
in hopes that they might consider
him ian old married man." But the
memory Of the Hazelton boys was not
SO short. They learned by wireless.
that Mr.. and Mrs. Thurston were
coming and they prepared for the
occasion. When the train arrived
the newlyweds were met by a large
party Of citizens. A carriage, to
which was litched a burrO, was in
waiting. Mrs. Thurston was placed
in the rig, while w. P. was placed
astride the animal. A color bearer.
a captain with a sword and a ma

the citizens followed. Signs on the

HIGHER COST OF AMERICAN
SHIPS.

Seattle acknowledgement: The ap-
preaching completion of the Panama
canal ~revives some kind of languid
interest in the fact that, aside from
vessels in the coastwise trade and
the warships of the country there are
no American ships to use the canal;
that it will be a trade route for other
countries, but not for American ships,
because there are no American ships
to use it.
This interest, however, is too Ian
guild to result in any pressure being
brought to bear upon congress to take
some legislative steps to make it pos
sible to operate vessels under the
American flag in competition with
vessels of other countries. The only
suggestions which receive any de-
gree of popular approval see to be
30 feeble and inadequate that, If car
ried into effect, they would not re-
lieve the situation in any degree.
Mr.. Robert Dollar, head of the line
OF steamships which bears his name,
has pointed out in a recent article
the various handicaps imposed by leg
tslation upon American shipping,
which enhance enormously the cost
