pointd by President Wilson, and give

Mr.. La Roe's discontinuance of his
law practice in this city, as his work
in Washington will require all his at
tention. Attorney Charles M. Mac
Williams will take charge of the
cases which are now pending In his
office. Mr. La Roe has resigned his
position as lecturer for the New Jer-
sey Law School, at Newark, in order
to accept his new appointment.
The young attorney has a brilliant
career before him and Is receiving
the congratulation of his many
friends on the success he has attain
ed in securing the appointment for
this responsible position. In 1905
Mr.. LaRoe was graduated from the
Perth Amboy high school and in
1909 from Princeton University. He
c"mpleted his course at the New Jer-
sey Law School, of Newark, in 1912,
receiving first honors at that institu-
tion. For four years he was a mem
Der of the faculty of the Westfeld
high school, resigning this position
to take up the practice of law in

chair of the Law of Domestic Rela-
tions at the New Jersey Law School

charge of Counsellor Barradorle, of
the Newark bar. He was also at
one time a member of the reportorial

portion of laborers employed at the
Raritan Copper Works we're off duty

they proposed to work next Sunday
instead of today. The celebrants

cordance with his campaign plan, be
ing for the unison of Hungarians,

stated that It is wished to extend
suffrage of his native country and
give the right to vote to every male
above the age of twenty-one years.
Hungary, he states, has at present a
very restricted suffrage, enjoyed by
property holders. A more homo
generous people and their own army
is wanted, he declared.

Today, one of the sacred holidays

nationality throw several gills of
water over men of their own race.
This is sacred custom observed by
both Hungarians and the Polish

The Eagle company is champion
ing Peter l.. Larson and the Liberty
