CARELESS WITH OWN BUSINESS.

From Wall Street Journal
How satisfactorily a man may at
tend 10 business for others and az
the same time be extremely careless
about his own affairs is shown IN a
request which recently came to the
offices of the New York State kaii-
ways Company and the Mohawk val
ley Company. regarding 81 shares OF
the former and IA shares OF the lat
Ter company which stands in the
name Of the late u. K. WILSON, dlrec-
tor of law of Cleveland.
AT the time Of Mr. Wilcox's death
his executor found that so far as
the affairs of clients were concerned
MIR. Wilcox had taken the utmost
care. All papers were in order, pro
perly filed and brought up practically
to the date of his death Private
papers. however, we're almost hope
iessly mixed. Interest due him IN
hanks had not been collected, valu-
able pictures had been purchased ana

his personal affairs apparently were
the last things TO which he gave
thought.
His executor received dividend
checks on the ,sew York State Rail-
ways and Mohawk Valley stocks. and
knowing nothing of any such holdings
began TO make search. He failed ut

NEUTRALITY GONE MAD.

(FrOm the New York Hcrald).
Things have come to a pretty pass
when bluejackets and marines are
forbidden to pipe the melodious ditty
anent the wearying stretch of the
long. long road to Tipperary. and all
because the vivarious longing crooned
in a British marching tune is
solemnly OF iained to be a violation
of the Presidents neutrality. Heav-
en- save the mark!
Never before. perhaps, have the
cheer of song and the twinkling of
hornpipes been so much needed in the
service, for these are irksome days.
And yet the trade of a subaltern has
received the approval of the Grand
Janpardrum, and so by bell, book
and candle must be banned not only
Tipperary but the Baba of Jerusa-
lem. lest Turkeys rights be wronged.
and TO spare Germany's sensibilities
the woeful ballad of Little Billee
must drift into the silence.
But, let us ask, is the ukase to hold
when Il touches the marrow Of Off
cial honors and salutes? Is the
Watch on the Rhine 1.-THE Marseil-
laise." or "the Star Of the North
no longer to be blared on brass when
guard and band" are ordered to re-
ceive foreign high nobilities of the
shore and sea? And when lying in
ports of belligerents is our nations
anthem at sunrise and sunset TO be
followed by that of the country OF
the anchorage. as is the point-device
custom Of gallant seamen every
where?
Longer and harder than the road to
Tipperary will be the distance Sec
retary Daniels must cover before he
convinces the people that this latest
divagation is more than the merest
idleness. II may, perhaps, go far
and fare well with the German voter.
but II can serve only to irritate the

NEwARK Us CATCHING up.
.rom the Newark Ledger.

From the Newark Ledger.
The municipal improvements to
our town are nearly complete. Our
streets are well lighted sidewalks
nicely curbed and the driveways in
first class condition. What else is
needed?
Council has done its part, and it
is up TO the business men to do theirs.
There is lack of hustle among some.
but, in all probability, like other
towns. new blood, is needed to be
infused
Newark today stands abreast of
other towns, and in many instances,
is considerably advanced.
This is due to the untiring indus
try and hustle of our people In
fact the town mas advanced beyond
many business places. and there lacks
spirit of progressiveness among
some merchants. To do business to-
day requires progressiveness and
hustle. The old methods of thirty
or forty years ago works very poorly
today. To keep up with the march
of time the newest ideas must be
adopted.

While at Play.

This seasons first serious accident resulting from a baseball game, oc- cured yesterday afternoon when AL bert Shepheard, the young son of NIT. and Mrs. Joseph Shepheard of 1S7 Bassett street, was struck in the head with a batted ball and rendered un- conscious. Only a few weeks ago Joseph Shepheard, jr., Albert's brother, died from hemorrhage caused by fall he suffered when he bumped into a playmate on the ice.
 The attending physicians, who were called to treat the injured boy last night, stated that his condition is not serious and that he will recover pres entity, but nevertheless the lads par ents were deeply worried over the ac- cident, especially since their other son died of a similar affliction. Playmates of young Albert, who witnessed the accident, state that he was catching behind the bat when a foul tip struck him on the head with great force, knocking him to the ground and rendering him uncon- scious. The accident occurred in a vacant lot on Bassett street.

SOCIALISTS PREDICT
 CANDIDATE WILL WIN
Seventh New Jersey Congressional District Electors Choosing Success
 sor to Late R. G. Bremner.

Fl
 Paterson, N. J., April 7.-President Wilson's policies and socialism were the main issues in special election held today in the seventh New Jersey congressional district to choose a successor to the late Robert G. Brem- ner. The president attracted national attention to the local contest by en- dorsing James J. O'Byrne, the demo- cratic candidate, and the democratic national congressional committee sent speakers of national reputation to aid O'Byrnes campaign.
 Paterson, the largest city in the dis trict, is one of the chief socialist strongholds in the country, and the socialists today predicted victory for their candidate, Gordon Demarest, in whose success socialists throughout the country interested themselves.
 Dow H. Drukker, the republican candidate, made his fight on the tariff question, appealing especially to workers in the silk and woolen mills. The democrats, however, looked to the progressive nominee, Henry c. Whitehead, to attract enough repub- lican voters to more than offset the democrats voting for the republican

NEW MAKEUP OF BRITISH POLO
 TEAM.

A CCORDING to the latest private
 advices received in this country, Lord Wimborne's present intention Is to line up the challenging British polo team this year in this way:
 No. 1-Major B. Mathew-Lannowe.
 No. 2--Captain E. W. Palmes.
 No. 3-Captain F. W. Barrett.
 Back--Captain V. Lockett
 Those who follow polo in England closely consider this a stronger four than that which nearly succeeded in taking the international cup away from us last summer. Captain Barrett. who has the pivotal position, was easily tho most brilliant player in the English tournaments last summer. He is in his right place at No. 3, the position hs plays for his regiment and for the Quidnuncs. Though Captain Mathew Lannowe plays No. 5 for his regiment he is said to be good anywhere.
 Captain Palmes is very young and has won . big reputation as a hustler since he was over here with the Brit fish team in 1911. Captains Barrett and Lockett have also had considerable experience in the American style ot play. ..
 Magnificent horsemen and clever players as they were, last years in- vading four lacked just a little mort punch.
 We are promised that whether they approve of them or not. the English men intend adopting American tactics with a vengeance next June.

Four Mile. Too Long, Says Rice.

-r,. our mtISS % 1On8, OAyo e'S0s Four miles is too long distance for an American university crew to row, according to. James c. Rice, who has been coach of rowing at Columbia since 1906. Rice says. however, that if the American college oarsman had a longer time to prepare for a four mile race he could probably row that dis tance without danger of. sustaining permanent injury.
 As 1t is, the length of time afforded to the average student who takes up rowing after entering college or uni- versity is not sufficient to cover the proper amount of training necessary for 50 long a race. Rice was asked yesterday whether he believed in four mile race for college crews and wheth- CT he was in favor of the new race for junior varsity crews in place of the old four pared race.
 'I do not believe in a four mile race for college crews" he said, "and am heartily in favor of the race for junior eight pared varsity crews in place of the old four pared race.
 ''It seems to me that, our, incoming classes are getting younger and that the men who are seeking places in the varsity boat nowadays are not as old IS they were a dozen years ago. This is an important factor to be considered when you are training a crew for four mile race
 "It is not right to have mere boys train down for such race in the short period of time that we in America give to rowing It's different in England, because there boy begins to row when he is in the grammar school, and by the time he gets to college he is a fin- ished oarsmen.
 Here we have to make the oarsman after he gets to college, and in the few months of training allowed by the col i lege it is impossible to build up a man physically to stand the strain of a four mile race. If our men were older and had been rowing for greater length of time I would not think of dropping the four mile race. s
 SAnother thing that we Americans forget is that our big four mile races come in June. which oftentimes is the hottest part of the summer, whereas in England the big races come in March or early April, when there is little heat and a man can exert himself without running the danger of getting sum- struck.
 "Its hard enough to sit in the launch at P0dghkeepsfe on some of those days. when you haven't any work to do, and when you consider making boys row miles with the thermometer over 90 it Is really, think, 3 detriment to their health and likely to result in perma- nent disability.
 "These are two of the reasons why think three mile race should take the place of the four mile contest. We a4ed longer time to train our men for
