WASHINGTON, June 13.-Repre-
sentative William G. Sharp, of Elyria,
o.. was nominated yesterday by Pres
ident Wilson to be ambassador to
France. Mr.. Sharps confirmation will
not be opposed. Senator Pomerene.
Democrat, of Ohio, recommended his
appointment, while Senator Burton,

tary Bryan that he had no objection
to his immediate confirmation.
Mr.. Sharp will succeed Myron I.
Herrick, former Governor of Ohio,
who was appointed ambassador to
France in the Taft administration.
Mr.. Sharp was given to understand
early in the Wilson administration
that he would get a foreign post. 1t
was first intended that he should be
sent to st. Petersburg, but the Rus
sian government is understood to
have found him persona non grata
because he had voted in December,
1912, for the abrogation of the COM

SUPREME BENCH
Fielder Names North Jersey
Judge to Late Justices
Place.
Especial to the Evening star.I


TRENTON, June t13.-Governor
Fielder today appointed Circuit Court
Justice Charles C. Black, of Jersey
City, to succeed Supreme Court JUS
tice Willard p. voorhees,, who died
two weeks ago. Justice Black is now

The appointment of Justice Black is
made at this time, so he can take
his place with the Court of Errors
and Appeals at the opening of the
June term next Tuesday.
His advancement to the Supreme
Court bench is regarded as a recogni-
ton of his services in the Circuit
Court, and the promotion gives the
governor an opportunity to make two
judicial appointments instead of one.
Judge Black is a Democrat. while
Justice Voorhees, was a Republican.
His appointment makes the court
stand FIVE Democrats to four Repub-
leans. This has been the customary
division of the court for many years,
the practise being for the party in
power to appoint the odd man from
It's own political faith.
The new Supreme Court justice will
in all likelihood be assigned to the
first judicial district, comprising the
counties of Atlantic, Cape May, Cum
berland and Salem Judge Black is a
native of Burlington county, and it
has been strongly intimated that he
Will made his residence in South Jer-
sey, where he will be more readily

college at the Mount Holly Academy
and entered Princeton, in 1874, being

Harbor. He was admitted to the bar
of New Jersey as a lawyer in June
1881, and as Il counsellor in June, 1854.
After being admitted to the bar he
located in Jersey City and has prac-
tised law there until his appointment
to the bench under the firm name of
Black 6; Dayton.
He served for five years as member
OF the Hudson County Board of Reg
istrat,on under the ballot reform
law. He was appointed as a member
of the State BoarG of Taxation on
March 81, 1891, for a term of five
/, years, was reappointed for another
term in 1896 and again in 1901. He

TO BOYCOTT FERRY
# FARE GOES UP
Jersey Residents indignant at
West Shores Proposed In
crease to CourtIandt ST.

WEEHAWKEN. June 1S.-When
the unofficial announcement was
made that the fare on the West Shore
Railroads ferry line. from Wee
hawken to Courtlandt street, will be
raised from three to five cents, the
Jerseyites who now use this line be-
came indignant and an effort is be-
ing made by the most indignant ones
to boycott this line.
They state that those who are ac-
customed to using this ferry can
easily ride past to Hoboken and use
the Lackawanna ferryboats from Ho-
boken to Barclay street. where the
fare is only three cents. The Jer-
seyites state that this silent treat
ment will bring the West Shore to
terms.
1t is stated, out of fairness TO the
railroad, that this line has never
been on a paying basis and that the
officials think that a raise in the
ferriage will make it remunerative.
1t has hitherto been run as an ac-
commodation to those who use the
railroad.

LEAGUERS LOSE
HOPE FOR PETITION
PULLING THROUGH
Number of Doubtful Signatures
Too Great TO Expect Proof
of Validity.

Results obtained by the clerks in
charge of the commission government
petitions Indicate that the petitions
will be lost and the election not called
at this time For the past two days
thirty per cent of the names desig-
mated as doubtful have been thrown
out and will not figure into the count
again This may result in the throw
ing out of the petition.
That the Commission Government
League believes that the petitions
will be lost, is indicated by the ac-
tivity of those who backed the work
in laying plans to secure names on
another petition as soon as the fate
of the present document is known.
Theodore S. Fettinger, secretary OF
the league, does not hold out much
hope for the present time, but adds
that other petitions will find them
selves in the field within a very short
time.
1t would be almost an impossibility
to pull the present petitions through.
The odds are five to one against the
league. This is made certain by the
figures resulting from the past two
days work Although only 1900 names
have SO far been examined. so per
cent. of these have been placed in the
doubtful list.
Now the work on the doubtful list
shows that the clerks have placed 80
per cent. of these in the mo good"
class. The only way the petition
could stand was to make every name
valid on the remaining doubtful list
and on the list not yet examined.
Yesterdays work was a defeat to
the league. Out of 4S1 names passed
on, 1874 were thrown out, % made
doubtful and 60 approved. Those in
charge of the work state that the
lead is too big for the hackers of the
league to overcome on the present pc
titionS.
Last night the bank examiners in
yestigated sixty mine names. OF this
number they threw twenty-seven out
and approved forty-two.
When the Commission Government
League first handed in their petitions
they had about fifteen per cent. more
names than was required. Following
the investigation thirty per cent. of
the names so far examined have been
declared invalid. The above figures
would then indicate that to date the
league is short about fifteen per cent.
of the bona fide signatures as re-
quired by law.
The clerks worked half day to-
day. They continued on about the
same percentage of yesterday. More
false names and forged signatures
were found

For how much?" Twenty pieces
of silver" "And what added to the
cruelty and wickedness of these bad
