Closes on Three Victims;
Boy Is Fined Thrice
rspeclal to the Newark start

MORRISTOWN, Dec. III. Edward
Rowland, of Seabright, N. j., had the
misfortune to run afoul of the Nor
ristown police Sunday afternoon. He
was arrested by Mounted officer
Wildey on Madison avenue for ex-
eeeding the speed limit with the auto
mobile he was driving. Wildey had
paced the machine on his motorcycle.
Arraigned before Police Justice Isaac
r. Pierson, 1t developed that not only
was Rowland guilty of exceeding the
speed limit, but also that he was
under the legal age to run car with
out a permit from the State motor
vehicle inspector and had no license
with him, and also that the mum bers
on his car did not belong to 1t, but to
another car.
Rowland admitted being under
eighteen years of age. The law re-
quires that in such cases the appli-
cant for a license shall be examined
in person by the chief inspector, and
Rowland admitted that he had not
been so examined and that license
he held had been issued by q local
agent at Seabright AS for the num-
bers on the car, he blamed his father,
Jesse A. Rowland, contractor, to
whom he said the auto belonged.
Justice Person hred him So for ex-
ceedlng the speed limit, $5 for having
no license and $40 for having false
numbers on the car. The young man
did not have enough money to pay
the fines and costs, and the authorities
held the car until his father appears
and settles the matter. Rowland said
he had brought his mother to the Col
lege of st. Elizabeth to visit his sis
ter, who Is student there, and that
he had come on to Morristown to visit
friend.
George o. Leavitt, of East Orange,
who said he was New York wooden
merchant, was arrested by Officer
Wildey for exceeding the speed limit
with his automobile on Mt. Kemble
avenue. Mr. Leavitt admitted the
charge but said there were a number
of other autos on the avenue going
as fast as his. The officer retorted
that he had nabbed Leavitt because
he was the first one and that the
others had slowed down when they
saw the arrest made. 1t cost Mr..
Leavitt SIS and costs.
Officer Wildey also gathered in
Frank A. Bauer, of Paterson, for
driving his car too fast through town.
Justice Pierson fined him Sc and costs.

TELLS OF
PROSECUTING EVIL
"AII Right Among Savages, but
Not Advanced Religions"
Says Rev. Mr.. WATSON.
rspeclal to the newark star.1

ELIZABETH, Dec. Under the
auspices of the United Hebrew Chart
ties, in their building at 40S Court
street, Rev. DR.. E. A. WATSON, pastor
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
at Elizabeth and Clinton avenues
Newark, last night made an address
condemning the PROSECUTING of Jews
Against Converting Jews" was the
title of the address. and large au-
dience crowded into the hall to hear
It, Mr. WATSON said, in part:
ION their spiritual side Judaism and
Christianity are virtually Identical. A
man who lived in the spirit of the
great seers of the Old Testament
would be a man after the heart OF
Jesus. Jesus opposed legalism as a
substitute for the weightier matters
of the law, justice, mercy and truth;
but Isaiah in his first chapter, and
other prophets, opposed 1t just as
vigorously.
1.-THE differences between Judaism
and Christianity are outward and
have their justification. They add
richness and variety to the one spir-
itual life.
RELOCATING PrOseIyting.
Christian churches do not prose-
lyte as they did. Catholics used to
proselyte Protestants; and Protest
ants, Catholics; and both, Jews. They
all have something better to do now,
even though they may not formally
disavow the principle. Each Is con-
tent to work in Its own field. As
among equals PROSECUTING Is prepos-
ferrous. We may proselyte savages
and other idolaters and polytheists.
pt1f a
things religious, as well as about
other things, as Christian. SO why
should he be proselyted? To be sure,
we can learn from one another, and
we should. We American Christians
can learn from the Jews respect for
old age.
Convert Ohicial Russia.
For all the PROSECUTING throughout
the ages l doubt If there is one Jew
fewer, or one Christian more, In the
world today. 1t is wasted effort and
wasted money. If q converted Jew
Is so very anxious to do missionary
work I wish to suggest field and a
mission-let him go to Russia and
to Christianity! They are people who
need conversion, for they are the serv-
ants of satan rather than of God.
The Russian people are not to be
blamed, but their false guides, who
concoct ritual murders. The convert
ed Jew who is on fire for PROSECUTING
can easily soon win a martyrs crown
there.
1T is an evil thing to disturb the
sincere religious faith of any person,
Catholic or Protestant, Jew or Gentle.
All real faith is one, and each believer
is entitled to his own expression of
it."
