T|LDEN STATE
GRAND MASTER
Masons Elect Jersey City Man
Without Contest Which
Had Been Pending.
lFrom a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, n. J., April 1.-THE
expected contest for grand master of
the New Jersey grand lodge of Ma
sons did not materiallze at the grand
lodge session here this morning.
The so-called progressives, who
wanted to break up the rotation sys-
tenn of elevating officers, finally aban-
doned their purpose, and Deputy
Grand Master Frederick E. Tilden, of
Jersey City, was elected grand master
without opposition.
Other officers elected without oppo-
sition We're as follows: Deputy grand
master, Charles p. Russ, Elizabeth;
grand secretary, Benjamin f, Wake
field, Trenton; deputy grand secre-
tary, Theodore b. Townley, Elizabeth:
grand treasurer, William r. Burk,
Trenton; senior grand warden, Ed
ward M. Sering, Dover.
There was contest for the position
of Junior grand warden. which is the
initial office for the promotion that
eventually results in elevation to the
grand mastership. William r. Mea-
kle, of Paterson, was the successful
candidate.
The newly elected officers viii be
installed this afternoon by retiring
Grand Master Woodward. No action
was taken this morning on the propo-
sition to hold the next grand lodge
session in Asbury Park in preference
to Trenton, where all grand lodge ses-
sions have been held for innumerable
years past.
The question Of recognizing the
grand lodge of the Philippines was
deferred for a year.
In the Philippines the@e are subor-
dinate Masonic lodges, with charters
from the grand lodge of California,
and also some with charters from
other jurisdictions.
The question of recognizing the
"clandestine" italian lodge in Newark
did not come up this morning. Action
is expected to be taken this afternoon,
but recognition is doubtful, as the
Italian lodge in Newark has its char
ter not from the New Jersey grand
lodge, but from the grand lodge of
Italy, which is not in affiliation with
the New Jersey grand lodge.

TO PURIFY TONE
OF JOURNALISM
Senate. Mc.k Introduces Bill.
to "Cut Out" Murders
and Other Horrors.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April H.
Senator Works made a vigorous at
tack on present day journalism and
the newspapers of the United States
in a speech today in support of his
bill to make it unlawful for District
Of Columbia newspapers to publish
details of crimes, accidents and
tragedies.
The Senator introduced a similar
bill during the last session, but 1t was
not acted upon.
whether people want this kind of
news or not Is one of the questions to
be considered looking at journalism
as nothing higher than a means Of
making money" said the senator.
"Newspapermen maintain that they
furnish this kind of news because
the people want and will have 1t. and.
therefore, 1t is the only way of MAIN
tanning their publications on pay
ing basis.
"If this is true 1t is certainly a
melancholy fact If it Is untrue 1t is
grave charge to make against the
American people.
Undoubtedly it is true of some peo-
PIE. But all COnNlHCeu ludl tuC
masses of the people who support the
newsps pers would prefer to have such
news omitted, and many people do not
read the newspapers and exclude
them from their homes because of OBJ
jectionable matter"
The senator concluded by admitting
that his bill was not likely to become
law.
ut has been my purpose he said,
ito call the attention of the country
to one of the greatest, most powerful
and most corrupting evils and in
huences of the present age. 1t is an
evil which admit cannot be over
como by law. 1t must be met by a
better and purer public sentiment
and will demand cleaner and moro
exalted sentiment that will demand
cleaner and more reliable journalism.
1.-THE man who helps to make the
public mind impure. whether he be
a journalist or not. is a dangerous
man and an enemy to the best inter-
ests of his country"

DR.. HOPP|N GOES
HOME WITH BRIDE
Kind Hotel People Saved Him
When Stricken With Aphasia
After Wedding.

After honeymoon marked by the
mysterious disappearance of the
bridegroom and his equally peculiar
return. Dr. and Mrs. Lewis Weston
Hoppin are today on their way to
their home in Swift Current, Sas-
katchewan.
DR.. Hoppin. who is a brother-in-law
OF Thomas J. Preston, vanished on
Monday in New York. He and his
bride had been staying with Mr.. and
Mrs. John j. Hoppin, of South
Orange.
MY brother told,' said John Hop
pin today. that while he was APP
preaching the Grand Central station
to check two handbags he suddenly
suffered intense pains in the head,
He knew that he must lie down some
where and he ran for the Grand
Union hotel nearby. where he was
kindly treated aud put to bed. His
pains were so intense that he evil
IDENTIFY did not take time to undress.
1t must have been about 1880 a. m.
when he suffered the attack on Mon
day. What happened between that
time and yesterday morning is more
than I know. It Is mere than likely
that my brother did not recover con-
seriousness during that time.
when he awoke he found himself
in a strange room lying fully dressed
in bed. His memory slowly returned.
He went out and asked the clerk
where he was. The clerk then COM
municated with me.
MY brother has been subject to
attacks of aphasia. or whatever it
may be. ever since he was sand
bagged in Kingston, Ontario, last
March The blow on the head also
caused some trouble with his ear.
1t was largely due to the pain in his
head that he went to New York to
consult a specialist. On his way to
New York ne was much annoyed by
those pains. He arrived here with
his wife last Friday.
"Checks for the handbags were in
my brothers pocket. and the bag
gage was found. All his money and
papers were found just as they were
on Monday The hotel people were
unusually kind to my brother

NEWARK MOSQUITO-FREE,
DECLARES EXTERMINATORS

Unless Newark gets mosquitoes
from the surrounding counties there
will be no need, so the experts de-
clare, of screening porches this sum-
mer. This statement is based on an
inspection of the county during the
past week, when it was found that
there are but a few places in which
mosquitoes could breed hereabouts.
The Essex County Mosquito Exter-
mination Commission yesterday sent
out a force of thirty-five inspectors,
and fifteen others will be added with
in n short time.
An inspection of 1000 acres Of
meadow land developed the fact that
there would be very little breeding
in this locality. A gang of laborers
Is now at work draining out the few
pools found in that section.
The mosquitoes, If Newark has any
this summer, will come. 1t is said,
from Bergen, Morris and Passaic
counties, where very little work
toward exterminating the pests Is
being done.

Wealthy Property-Owners.
Especial to the Newark star.l


RUTHERFORD. N. J., April IL
There is great alarm among wealthy
property-owners here over the report
that Jack Johnson, the negro pngilist,

terrace, in one of the most fashion
able sections of Rutherford. The
Brown property adjoins a $500. 900 es-
tate. and wealthy people live all
around 1t.
People in Rutherford know that me-
gotiations were actually begun with
Mr.. Brown by negro real estate
agent and a negro who said he was
secretary" to the person who con-
templated buying the property.
During the negotiations Mr.. Brown
asked the negro secretary" the name
of his employer, and was told he was
zone of the most widely known col
ored men in the United States" Mr..
Brown then asked the direct question
If 1t was not Jack johnson. The sec
retary'' refused to answer.
Negotiations were dropped at that
time. appeals having been made to
the owner of the property by citizens
whose only interest was the public
welfare, as we'll as those whose prop
erty would be directly affected by
having the negro for neighbor.
Recently 1t was rumored here that
another attempt was being made to
buy the Brown property for the pugi-
list, and Mr.. Brown. while refusing to
make a public statement, admits ne
gotiations have been resumed. When
asked If he would sell his property to
Johnson, he replied that he was "in
doubt"

At the same time early today that

smaller. but no less interested group
had gathered. with mouths aSar,
about the corner of Washington

too. were looking upward, their eyes
riveted upon the spire Of ST, Pat

The cause of the excitement was
not, however, that the Firemens
building had given indication of top

had rocked st. Patrick's Cathedral.
Two working "steeplejacks"
were engaged in earning an honest
livelihood painting the spire of the
