ELECTION Returns
NOW COMPLETED
No Way Of ASCGrtainiDg Pop
ulaF Vote

Washington, D. c., Feb. 3.-The GER
tifcate of Gov Blease, of South Caro-
lima, of the names of the electors chos-
en- at the presidential election of No
vember, has been received at the state
department, completing the returns
from all tn states.
These documents aye received in
triplicate, and one copy of the certifi-
cate from each state has been ditpatch-
one copy to the clerk of the house On
ed to the secretary of the senate and
representatives, by John A. Tenner,
chief of the bureau of rolls and library
of the state department. The purpose
of the certificates appears to be TO
provide congress, when engaged in the
electoral count next month, with means
for checking off the accuracy of the
certificates coming from various state
electors.
The collection of these certificates
has developed the fact that there is
at present no means by which any
branch of the United States govern
ment may be officially advised of the
popular vote in the presidential and
vice presidential elections.
Nothing in the act of Feb. 8, 1887,
governing the electoral count, re-
quires such information, and although
some of the state officers voluntarily
include on the certificates an analysis
of the vote, from aprty standpoint,
most of the states content themselves
with the mere report of the names of
each elector and his vote, without in
dicating his party affiliations or af-
fording any adequate basis for ascer-
tanning the poular vote.

Disastrous Results" if Law

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 3.-The New
York stock exchange has put Itself
on record as opposed to incorpor-
alton and as against the enactment
of maximum rate of interest on call
loans. Governor Sulzer was so in
formed by a committee representing
the exchange, and was advised that
the enactment of such laws would
cause disastrous results"
John G. Milburn, of counsel for the
exchange, declared the exchange is 4
voluntary organization and its men,
bers must abide by its decisions.
Its punishments are tremendously
effective now" he told the governor.
Governor Sulzer reminded Mr..
Milburn that the cotton exchange and
practically all the other New York
markets are incorporated.
Isn't it true that a customer can
be wiped out by high interests for call
loans?" asked the governor.
The committee replied that such a

COTTON WAS EXPORTED
TO CHINA AND INDIA
Never Has The United. States Trade
With The Orient Been as Great.


Washington, D. c., Feb 3.-Never
was the trade between the United
States and the Orient as great as it
was during 1912. $50
Imports from Asia and Oceania COM
bined amounted to $2S0,BoO,OOO in 1912,
as against 100000 OOO,-in 1902. The
exports to Asia and Oceania for the
last $year aggregated $190,00O,000, as
compared with $96,OOOOOO ten years
ago.
One feature was the sending of raw
cotton to India and China. Despite the
fact that both the latter countries are
producers of cotton the United States
sent to India during 1912 35,000,000
pounds of cotton and to China 10000
900 pounds.
The exports of cotton to both coun-
tries prior to 1911 amounted to prac-
tically nothing. Japan received 209,-
100000 pounds of raw cotton.
The increase in exports to the Orient
was confined to the trade between the
United States, Japan, the Philippines
and India.

governor BROWN TO APPOINT
new BOARDS OF TRUSTEES

estimated, will pay the state $4,000
to 100000 alone. Now laws passed at
the last session of the legislature also
materially reduced the fees paid to
inspectors of oils and fertilizers, 50
that the treasury will receive more
money from this source than ever be-
fore, irrespective of the gasoline in
spection law.
There will undoubtedly be some in
teresting skirmishing at the coming
session of the legislature over this sur
plus inspection fund. Naturally the
agricultural schools will demand it on
the ground that they should receive
this entire fund for their maintenance
and support.
There is no question that there will
be other claimants. There are always
plenty of hands held out when it
comes to dividing money from the
state treasury, but the agricultural
schools have splendid oportuni y
here to add to their funds, and they
know it. There is no question but
that they will make every effort to ge5
this money for themselves.

Atlanta, Ga, February 3.-Governor
Joseph NJ Brown will announce with
in the next few days the members of
the new board of trustees of all the
state district agricultural schools. The
Governor has been somewhat delayed
in this announcement, as a result Of
which he has been criticised by some
of his political opponents who are
eagerly hunting a point of attack. The
truth of the matter is, however, that
Gov Brown has been devoting serious
attention and study to this matter
with the view to giving these schools
the best possible working board.
A considerable percentage of their
membership in the past has been COM
posed merely of figureheads who
rarely, if ever, attend the meetings.
and whose only service to the school
was to lend it his name, whatever that
might be worth.
Gov Brown went carefully over the
situation and reached the conclusion
that these boards should be composed
of men who are willing to do some
thing, at least, to the extent of giving
little of their time, for the benefit OF
the institution. AS a result, he has
been busy wedding out, and that is
the cause of the delay.
These boards are composed of one
member from each county in the dis
trict, and while vacancies caused by
death or resignation have been filled
from time to time, this will be really
the first appointment of entire new
boards since the schools were estab-
lished.
1t is now more important than ever
that these institutions should have
active and interested members upon
their boards of trustees. They are
growing rapidly, and the opportunity
is ahead of them for eve ngreater g.
velopment within the next few years.
The legislature gave these schools
for their maintenance and support the
funds arising from the inspection of
\ oils and fertilizers.
Whenu the schools were establish
ed, these fees were barely sufficient
to give each of the eleven schools
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year. The
funds grew a little larger from year
to year, and on one occasion the leg
islature added to it by giving each
school $4,000 from the general fund
in the treasury, making the provision
that the total maintenance fund of
each school should not exceed $4,000
for the school year.
This year for the first time in their
history, these agricultural schools
will receive the full amount, $4,000,
without encroaching upon the general
fund. So great has been the increase
in the amount received from the in
spection of fertilizers and oils that
there will be enough to pay each
school the full $4,000, beside having
a considerable surplus.
This large increase, of course
comes from the new low providing
for gasolene inspection which, it is

first mortgage bonds of the Brookhav-

country club here, has filed suit in
the Superior court for the foreclosure
of the mortgage, and the immediate
sale of the property.
The suit was filed as the result OF
the failure of the clubs creditors 20

KRUGER ASSESSMENT
SUSTAINED BY BOARD


TRENTON, n. j., June 1l-Sus-
tanning an assessment of the Newark
authorities against the property Of
Gottfried Kruger, of Newark, the
State Board of Equalization today
in an opinion dismissed an appeal
filed by Mr.. Kruger for taxes In
1912.
The property in question Is used in
part by the Gottfried Kruger Greis-
enheim, an institution formed orig
inally for the care and support OF
aged men and women. The property
was acquired by Mr.. Kruger In 1904
and part of the consideration of the
purchase was that he should main
tain the inmates of the institution at
his own expense as long as they
should survive.
There is no obligation upon his part
to admit any additional persons to
the home, the State board said, or to
continue it after the death OF those
who were housed there when he took
il over. The land on which the home
stands is used in part also as pub
lie restaurant and place Of popular
resort.
In deciding against Mr.. Kruegers
appeal the State board said:
1.-THE evidence as to use leaves no
doubt that the property In question
is not within the purview of any of
the, exempting provisions of the gen.
eral tax act. The assessment, there
fore, should be sustained and the ap-
peal dismissed"

FRIEDMAN INSTITUTION
FOR NEWARK RUMORED

With the announcement that the
New York Board of Health would
probably delay for several months
or possibly a year before taking
definite action on the Friedman
tuberculosis serum, it was rumored
that an institution would probably
be opened in this city at an early
date, but no action in that line has
been officially taken.
A reporter for the Evening Star
asked Secretary David D. Chandler
OF the Board of Health. if the sub
ject had been taken up with that
body. and he replied that it had not.
He added that the matter had not
even been preached to the board in
formally. and he knew nothing of
the source of the report.
The fact that the Eisner- Mendelson
Company, purchasers of the sale
rights for the serum in the United
States, has a laboratory in Newark.
is construed as being responsible for
the report.
In an interview in New York Mr..
Eisner said that in case the Board
of Health delayed its approval of the
serum he had no definite plans for To-
eating a friedman Institute, but
added that several health boards in
nearby cities had been communicated
with as to whether or not they would
permit the operation of the Institute
In their jurisdiction.

DYNAMITE HOME
OF SILK WORKERS
Strikers lntimiated Mill Hands
With Bomb Spectre-Six-
teen Pickets Arrested.

PATTERSON, N. j., June II. = All
thought of returning to work was
driven from the minds of the silk
workers today by the explosion of a
bomb in Prospect Park Borough, just
outside of the city, early today.
The terrific defamation shook the
entire city. A hole was torn in the
sidewalk and the windows Of nearby
buildings were shattered. The house
itself, which is occupied by three
brothers who have persisted In stick
ing to their looms despite repeated
warnings and previous bomb at
tempt at their home, was badly dam
aged, but the occupants escaped with
nothing worse than a bad scare.
Dynamite has been the spectre that
has threatened the city for a long
time. A number of bombs have been
set off Despite the hardest sort of
work. the detectives have been I'M
able to discover where they are manu-
featured.
Threats have been made to blow up
the homes of some of the silk. manu-
facturers, most of whom carry re-
volvers, by virtue of special permits,
and have private detectives for
guards.
The explosion today came at a
critical time in the strike. Many OF
the workmen who were wavering, ap-
parently determined that it would be
healthier for them to take chance
on starving and remain on strike a
while longer. Very few returned to
work.
In speaking of the bomb outrage,
Chief of Police Bimson said:
This bomb was a home manufac-
tured one, all right. 1t was made out
of a gas pipe, and the marshal of the
borough has charge of its remains.
1t was clearly planted for the pur-
pose of intimidation in front of
house where four dyers live, who
have been working in Whiteman's
mill. I got reports from a number of
mills this morning and their workers
weren't showing up in numbers equal
to those of yesterday.
There's an uneasy feeling here to-
day, not as many going to work, and
the workers are holding shop meet
ings in the place of a mass-meeting,
and something seems % be brewing.
A majority is evidently opposed to
going back to WORK, but there's
minority which as clearly favors it,"

Nicholas Callen, the bartender en-

shot on. the morning of May %, and
who is held in the Essex county Jail,
charged with murder, will be given
an examination tomorrow afternoon
at 2 o'clock in the First Criminal
Court.
Attorney Charles Hood. who repre-
sents Callen, requested the prosecutor
to grant an examination at the
present time, as 1T is understood that
the evidence on which Callen is held
does not justify such action. On the
other hand the police allege that
they have secured a confession from
one of the five men in an automobile
at the time Hinderer was shot who
will testify that he saw a revolver In
Callen's hand just before the shoot
ing occurred.
