WILSON HAS NEW
PRIMARY BILL
First and Second Choices Pro-
vided For-La FoIIette's
Idea.
From a STAFF Correspondent.l

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 5.-Governor
Wilson has announced that he is
having drafted for introduction in
the New Jersey Legislature, a bill
fashioned like the law now in opera
ton in Wisconsin, amending the
primary election law so that the Sec
ond choice of voters shall figure in
the selection of candidate. The bill
proposes that every man who voted
for a candidate shall also name his
second choice. If a majority is not
obtained by any candidate, the Sec
ond choice shall be figured in and a
majority obtained in this way. At
present the New Jersey primary cleo
ton law requires only a plurality to
nominate.
when the second choice is counted
in," said the Governor. 1T will be
found that candidates will be elimi-
mated one by one until by that process
a majority is produced"
The bill, it is understood, will be
ready for Introduction within a few
days. Senator La Toilette is respon-
sible for the idea.
Last night some of the cor
respondents tried again to trap
him into an admission that
he had decided upon his cabinet.
He denied in order insinuations that
he had picked Colonel George w
Goethals for position of Importance
in Panama, A. Mitchell Palmer fol
secretary of the treasury or that ne
had reduced the number of candi-
dates for the position of secretary OF
the interior. There are five candi-
dates for this place from the West
alone.
The President-elect expressed his
eagerness to make visit to Panama
when Colonel w. c. Gorgas, one OF
the members of the Isthmian Canal
Commission called in the afternoon
Colonel Gorgas is here on visit and
is returning to Panama February 10
We hope you will come down tc
see US. he said TO the Governor.

MAY ENFORCE LAW
BY REDUCED FINES
Health Board Would Act
Against Spitters-May Raise
Chicken-KiIIers' Fees.

An increase for licenses on chicken
slaughter houses, and a reduction in
the penalty for expectorating on side
walks and upon the floors of public
buildings were discussed by members
of the Board of Health at its regular
meeting held last night.
The license for chicken slaughter
houses is now 81 and it was proposed
to increase the fee to $50, and exclude
the sale of all other commodities from
establishments where slaughtering
was done Commissioner j. H. Nc
Lean pointed out such a rule would
throw much valuable property into
the discard as several in that line of
business conduct markets in connec-
ton with the slaughtering business.
Commissioner Frank B. Meeker,
chairman of the committee on sanl-
tation. asked the board to define Its
attitude of granting chicken slaugh-
ter licenses, irrespective of the Wlshes
of other residents of the neighbor-
hood who might object to the pres
ence of such a place. A report OF the
sanitation committee recommended
that the license fee be placed at go.
The entire matter was referred to the
sanitation and ordinance committee.
Commissioner Timothy Foyle pro-
posed that the penalty for expectorat-
| ing on sidewalks and floors of public
buildings be reduced from $40 to 81, or
an increasing scale of from 81 to So
He thought that such action would
result in the arrest of many more
violators, as the inspectors for the
Health Board would have no conf
junction in making arrest. The mat
ter was referred to the law and ordi-
nance committee.

who afterward acquired considerable
distinction. Afterward she got in
touch with her parents but she re-
celved curt word that neither she
nor her husband need expect a well
come there.
After the death of the artist Mrs
Russell's career as nurse really be-
gan. She saw service in the TurSo-
Greco war as a Red Cross nurse. and
later in the Boxer uprising in China.
Afte-ward she came to Atlantic City

On Blockade-runner.
When the Spanish American war
occurred she offered to enlist, but
the &C regulations barred her from
pccaptance. She, however. went to
Cuha on a blockade-runner of the
Cuban forces, but in order to get
permission to board the boat she had
to pretend to be a man.
ghen she came to Atlantic City,
which she has since made her home.
II is understood the detective found
her and her daughters not in dire
need, but in such circumstances as
warranted him in reporting that the
time Of paying over her fathers Sc
cret legacy had come.
Aged Mrs. Russell willingly showed
a letter from Clara Barton. first pres
ident of the International Red Cross
Society, and other credentials of her
career. But she refused to discuss
the matter of the legacy. She feared
certain relatives in Scotland who had
never forgiven her might undertake
to tie up the legacy with the red
tape of the British chancery courts.
