MARRIAGE BUREAU GETS
NEW RECORD FOR BIRTHDAY

Cupid, the little god of love. has
been exceedingly busy shooting his
darts to the four points of the COM
pass, especially during the past
month, with the result that all June
been broken. Since the first of the
month the marriage license bureau
has granted 4b6 couples the privilege
to be Joined In wedlock. This is
forty-one more than in any June
since the local bureau was estab-
lished three years ago.
1t may be interesting to note that
today marks the third anniversary
of the local bureau, 1t having been
established on July l. 1910. Since that
date and up to closing time yester-
day afternoon 1884 licenses have
been granted. In sol cases one or
both of the principals were minors,
consent to the marriage having been
given by the parents.
Statistics gathered by Frank f.
Crissey, clerk of the bureau, show
that each year there has been an in
crease in the number of licenses
granted. The high water mark for
licenses issued in a single day was
reached on June "a. 1912. when thirty
eight licenses were granted. Thirty
two was the largest number recorded
in a single day last month. Yester-
day twenty-five were granted.
In June of last year 415 licenses
were granted, while the same month
in 1911 was slightly lower.

of the South Carolina delegation in
Congress, accompanied by Brigadier-
General Jones, Of the South Carolina
militia, went to the war department
yesterday to talk with Secretary Gar
rison about a renewal of federal aid
to the organized militia Of their State.
The secretary informed his callers
that If Governor Blease himself would
make application for continuance
of federal support he would consider
it. Because of the defiant attitude of
Governor Blease the war department
recently announced that no further
federal assistance either In personnel
or equipment would be afforded the
militia of South Carolina.

Judge Herr in the Fourth Precinct

reprimand to John Stamfie, 21 years

John Appel, 90 years old, of 26s

SUPREME COURT RULES
AGAINST MRS. MARTIN

County Counsel Jones today re
ceived Supreme Court opinion de
gliding against Mrs. Lillian C. Martin
in her long fight to remain matron o.
the county penitentiary.
1t Is held that the position of ma.
tron is not governed by Civil Serv-
ice, but is appointive. The Board Of
Freeholders therefore Is ruled to be
within its rights in appointing Mrs
Ferdinand j. Hosp, wife of the pres
emit warden, as matron, in January
1912
At that time Mrs. Martin refused to
be ousted. She instituted certiorari
proceedings to test the right of the
board to dismiss her.
The decision of the Supreme Court
will probably end the controversy and
Mrs. Hosp will become matron. 1t is
possible, however, that Alonzo Church,
Mrs. Martins counsel, may take the
case to the Court of Errors and APP
peals.

Speaker Cannon thought that Gard
ner had better be left chairman of
the labor committee.
"And certainly" added the colonel,
"our friends here in Congress coin
eide with the speaker in that re-
spect. feel that my interview has
pleased Mr.. Gardner and Strengthened
him out along certain lines"
Mention was made in the report
of William Sulzer, of the Tenth New
York District. who had a labor bill
which he intended to present. Con-
gresham Gardner told Mulhall that
for this reason he thought he would
present labor bill of his own be-
cause by doing so "he was under the
impression that he would serve our
friends and smother any other meas
ure of this kind that might come up
in Congress"
Says Gardner Compiled with Wish.
According to a letter from Mulhall
to Kirby on February II, 1910, Con
gresham Gardner informed me that
he had appointed a subcommittee of
the labor committee as we wished him
to doAMr. Vreeland, Mr., Madison.
Mr.. Allen, Mr.. Raney and Mr.. Coving-
tonic which he had referred the
eight-hour bill.
This makes 1t almost impossible
to get this bill out of committee at
this session unless the Democrats can
get the full committee together on
Tuesday, which l feel that it will be
impossible for them to do, and If we
can beat them in their next effort for
meeting on next Tuesday, I feel
that we are safe for the balance of
the winter"

NO ENDORSEMENT
FROM W|LS0N|TES
League Decides Not to Make
CubernatoriaI Choice Be-
fore Primaries.

No gubernatoriai candidate will be
Endorsed by the Woodrow Wilson
League of Essex county prior to the
primaries. This action was decided
upon almost unanimously last night
at meeting OF the executive commit
tee.
Some excitement was caused at the
meeting through the uprising of Johr
M. Rhodabeck, who protested vigor.
ously against the passage of the res
olution which specified that no guber-
material candidate should be Endorsed
at this time. 1t was said by some
of the members that Rhodabeck was
prepared to offer another resolution
indorsing the candidacy of former
Mayor Wittpenn. of Jersey City, and
realized there was no chance of get
ting this motion before the commit
tee after the successful one had been
introduced.
On three separate occasions Rhoda-
beck took up his hat and left the
meeting room and finally announced
that he would resign from the execu-
tive committee. On the first occasion
when he saw the resolution put forth,
he announced his objection and then
left the ROOM Outside he met an
other member who was also opposed
to the first resolution.
Then he returned, announcing that
he would "see the thing through"
With this added ally 1t was evil
dent that there was no chance of de-
feating the resolution he opposed, and
again he grasped his hat and left the
meeting In a huff,
Friends of Rhodabeck followed him
out of the room and urged him to re-
turn to the meeting. Under their
persuasion, Rhodabeck returned in
time to witness the passage of the
resolution which blocked the indorse-
ment of any candidate at the present
time.
For the third and last time Rhoda-
beck arose and announced that
nothing could persuade him to re-
main at the meeting. AS he was
leaving the room he said;
II want to say goodbye to all you
gentlemen. l am through with this
whole thing, You'll receive my resig-
nation in the morning
The resolution adopted was this;
Whereas, sentiment is divided re-
specting the qualifications of candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination
for Governor of New Jersey. be 1t re-
solved
THAT the executive committee of
the Woodrow Wilson Democratic
League of Essex county hereby de-
clares its purpose not to indorse any
candidates for such nomination,
leaving each individual free to sup
port his choice; and 1t hereby pledges
the united support of the league to
the nominee of the primary election"
Bernard w, Terlinde introduced the
resolution.
John l., Armitage, president of the
league, said today that since some
of the members favor the candidacy
of H, Otto Wittpenn and others
that of Governor Fielder, 1T was
thought best to avoid any attempt to
indorse either man,
after the primary election, OF
course" he added, I'VE will unite on
the man selected. whether 1t is Witt
penn, Fielder or some one else"
