MOVIE BOOTH BILL

Legislative Committee Turns
1t Down at Request of Fire
Commissioners.

At the request of the Board of Fire
Commissioners, the city legislative
committee in session today at the
City Hall decided to oppose Assembl
and defines general specifications
relative to booths and other enclos-
ures for moving picture machines.
Senate bill No. lis, which again gives
justice of the peace power to perform
marriages, was severely criticised
and finally turned down.
The old matter of the stripe of land
between the Erie railroad and the
river, opposite Mt. Pleasant Gene
terry, was again discussed at today's
session. Henry II. Dawson, appear
Ing for the cemtery company, told
OF a bill which was about to be intro
dueed which would ratify and con-
firm the present deed. The matter
was finally referred to the tax COM
mission. city engineer and Mr. Nugent.
Assembly 222 was disapproved be-
cause of five reasons. They are:

moving picture booths fully.

not permit such booths. 1t would be
mistake.
4. Booths must be fastened to
the floor except in first and second
class cities. This classification is abb

s. Portable booths must be ap-
proved by the department of fac.

Jersey" There is no such depart.
ment. If the department of labor is
meant, the idea seems to be to add
one more department to the fire de-
partments now having joint jurisdic-

House bill 2s1 was approved by the
board following the dictates of the
Board of Assessment and Revision OF
Taxes. This bill enables the local
board to name clerks with the consent
of the finance committee of the coun-
ell.
| Bill 248 was also approved. This ex-
empts the taxation Of all religious
| charitable and educational buildings
while in the course of erection.
| The members of the committee also
placed their stamp of approval on bill
236 which provides that all complaints
in tax assessments must be taken uI
with the local boards before the State
board is taken into consideration.
A bill granting the board of tas
commissioners of first-clasS cities the
power to appoint a chief clerk anc
secretary was also approved by tht
local board.
1t was also decided to hold another
hearing on the police and ffremen pen

Coroner to Determine if
Stedman Killed Himself

GREENWICH, Conn, Feb. 9.-In-
vestigation into the circumstances
surrounding the death of William A.
Stedman, New York cotton broker,
who lived here, was begun this morn
ing by Coroner Phelan, of Bridgeport.
Stedman was found dead in the cell
lar of his home on Saturday. The back
of his skull had been crushed in by a
blow from the blunt end of a Ratchet.
The Ratchet was found nearby In the
wound, when Stedman was operated
upon by DR.. w. l.. Griswold at the
Greenwich Hospital, was found the
penknife of Stedman's ten-year-old
son. The blade and all but an inch
of the handle were buried in the brain.
Edward NJ. Weld, of Stephen NJ.
Weld & Co., of New York, with
whom Mr.. Stedman was associated
In business, is of the belief that Mr..
Stedman committed suicide.
After talking with Coroner Phelan
over the telephone this morning DR..
Clarke said, I'VE have discovered no
motive for murder. We have no per-
sons under suspicion. Coroner Phelan
will call and swear witnesses today
in order to bring out every Incl
dent that has connection with the
death, and this being done, con-
clusion that is not open TO doubt
should be reached"

ROB CREDIT FROM
REAL SCULPTORS'
BorgIum Says Most Statues
Not Made by Those Whose
Names They Bear.

NEW YORK, Feb. s.--Nearly e.
per cent. OF all the monuments and
statues IN the United States. includ-
ing those in statuary Han, Wash
ington, were not made by thoss
whose names they bear said Gutzon
Borglum. the sculptor, yesterday.
The artists VINO made them are
probably starving somewhere. Pow
erty forced them 70 let their brain
children bear the names Of foster
parents"
This statement. and others con-
demning the COMMENSURATE Or
art, was part Of an address on art
made yesterday before the WoTaan's
Political Union in the Berkeley The
atre.
The sculptor said IN part:
This nation has stood for freedom
We have written the word Freedom
IN large letters across our skies. We
nave invited the courageous to come
here and give expression to their
ideas. Now we see we have no such
thing as freedom. One must kowtow
to a certain clique. one must get Ia
the circle to get recognition. Genius
knocks on the door and gets no an
swer but its own echo.
Right here in your city I have
known two or three sculptors who
committed suicide. They had been
doing other mems york, the other
men getting the credit and they
getting barely enough money to- ex-
ist- know that most OF the work
Of statuary in this country has not
been done by the men whose names
are on them.
81 received q letter recently from
friend OF mine in Washington ask
ing me df 7 had submitted sketches
for a certain monument the govern
ment Is to have built ! replied I had
not been asked to. but l added that
] had received letter from a tomb
stone maker asking me my price
upon certain work Of similar kind.
That is how America gets her art.
Contracting firms get the contract
and the honor. Starving artists do
the work. The government pays for
sculpturing thousands Of dollars Of
which the sculptor gets hundred or
50.
Nowadays it Is the fashion to
build monuments We are building
them for anybody. everybody and
nobody. But there are no monu-
ments built to those men who made
our country. I think it was foolish
to have built a monument TO the
Maine. The soldiers were asleep and
knew nothing.
The Titanic would have been =
fitting subject for q monument. There
we have a great spectacle. men show
ing the best that is IN them. giving
those they held dearest. their women
and children, to the care OF the sea-
while they awaited death.

ORDER ENDS
SUFFRAG|ST' TALK
MontcIair Meeting Too Near
Vaudeville to Suit Town
Official.

Montclair suffragists held their first
public Sunday meeting yesterday aft
ernoon in the Montclair Theatre. One
of the speakers, Miss Agnes Best. Of
New York, came under the censor
ban and was stopped before she had
concluded her speech.
When the local suffragists first
asked for a permit to hold a public
meeting on Sunday members of the
Town Council objected on the ground
that such a meeting would be political
and would be a precedent for future
political meetings. The suffragists
explained that the purpose of the
meeting was educational; that they
were not campaigning or laying down
campaign issues. They wanted to
discuss the application of the equal
suffrage movement to the cause of
the laboring woman. With this I'M
derstanding the permit was granted
and 1t was arranged that Arthur G.
Wilson. chairman of the police COM
ndttee of the Town Council, should
be present to see that everything was
all right.
The speakers were Miss Margaret

Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-Reports of
financial trouble in Memphis helped
to unsettle the cotton market during
today's early trading. Gables were
lower than due, and prices here
opened barely steady at decline of
to 10 on old crop and to 5 on new
crop positions as a result of scatter
ing liquidation, straddle selling or bear
pressure Offerings were pretty well
taken around the initial figures by
covering of shorts. or some fresh buy
ing attracted by the new low level of
prices, and the market rallied or
from the lowest. The undertone, how
ever, continued more or less nervous
and subsequent fluctuations were ir-
regular.
Active months sold IL to II points
net lower later under continued liqui-
dation and the market was still very
much unsettled at midday, although
prices showed rallies of or from
the lowest on covering.
Trading was less active during the
early afternoon, and the market seem
ed q shade steadier, with active
months about to 10 points net lower.

Senator Bryan said the increases
were made to meet as nearly as pos

"If there are only 10000 men in the
army now, why should we have ar
army of half a million men," asked

Orange Assessor Stops Sale
Until Back Taxes Are Paid

Tax Assessor John P. Lee, of Or
ange, was strolling along Main
street. that city. this morning when
he noticed a red flag barring an
auctioneers name swapping merrily in
the sharp breezes in front of 1873. He
recalled the city had back taxes
totaling s17.74 on $500 stock that was
charged against the proprietor. and
walking inside found q group of men
waiting for Alber+ r. Robinson and
M. Birnbaum. thu auction0ers. to
start the sale of fixtures.
Mr.. Lee sought out the owner and
found two men named Goldberg and
Perl were the present owners. and he
insisted upon payment of the taxes
before any of the property was put
up for sale. There was a short parley
between the official ard the latest
proprieors of the store. Int the as
SCISSOR was obdurate and soon after
wards emerged, smiling. with his
st7.74, which he turned over to the
CITY treasurer.
Mr.. Lee has collected quite some
money in this manner.
