TOO MANY COOK"
DECLARES STEVENS
Road Commission Says Red
Tape Is Responsible for State
Prison Difficulty.
Special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Aug. H.-Proper Iegis-
lation Simplifying the method by
which the convicts may be placed
on the States roads for work with
out having to secure first the agrte-
ment of a half a dozen or more In
terested parties, is the solution of
the problem to relieve the financial
difficulties of the State prison, ac-
cording to State Road Commissioner
Edwin A. Stevens. Colonel Stevens
was one of those mentioned by SEN
his recent statement charging lack
of cooperation among the State
prison executives.
Referring to the statement attrib-
uted to Senator Hennessy." said Colo
mel Stevens, "disclaiming any respon-
sibility of the Legislature for failure
to properly provide for the State
prison, l have not the information
necessary to either deny or confirm
this fact. | take it, however, that the
senator's information on this subject
is so extensive and accurate that his
conclusion can be accepted.
IF any responsibility rests on the
Legislature it is in the failure to pass
a bill to correct the very evident
shortcomings of the law covering the
labor of prisoners on roads. The law
now requires the agreement of the
Board of Prison Inspectors, the Prison
Labor Commission. the supervisor of
the prison and the commissioner of
public roads In addition to this,
however, the head keeper Of the State
prison has certain constitutional du-
ties and responsibilities from which
he feels that he is not relieved by
the present legislation"
Colonel Stevens blames the last
House of Assembly for falling to act
upon a meaure to clarity the situa-
tion and thus afford the Senate an
opportunity to act also.
The arrangements under which the
prisoners now work had to be passed
upon by the attorney general and the
comptroller's department to determine
whether an appropriation was avail-
able.
Insofar as the mere question OF Ia
Dor for the departments work is
concerned, the commissioners said that
it would be possible to secure enough
outside help for this purpose, but the
appropriation for the road work spec
ifies convict labor.

LYRIC

Those who want simon-pure comedy
will highly enjoy the headline offering
at the Lyric. a comedy called THE
Buyer from Pittsburgh" and one of
the funniest farces local stages have
offered here in a long while. The
Buyer from Pittsburgh" is a comedy
of the sample rooms, where the sales
men meet, and where a host of funny
things are enacted. There are five
people in this excellent comedy. and
everyone well cast.
Whirling wonders but mildly de-
scribe the Four Konerz Boys, a quar-
tet of nicely dressed chaps, who whirl
everything, from hoops to tables,
about at a terrific speed and with
comedy interspersed.
Kenneth and Lacey, in a delightful
little sidewalk idyl called Now and
Then" come in for much laughter.
They introduce several clever little
scenic novelties, too.
Marion and Lee are the newest ex-
ponents of the modern dance to ap-
pear at the Lyric, and to say that
they please is hardly enough Both
are extremely graceful and work with
an ease seldom found in strenuous
tangoists.
Harry Victor, a young man with a
fine voice, in original operate paro-
dies; the Ario trio, in tunefnl musi-
cal sketch; Jack and FORTS, in a
grotesque comedy sketch, and jean
cite Childs. in a repertoire of catchy
songs, also contribute a great deal
toward making this an excellent bill
The photoplays at the Lyric are of this
same high interest that characterize
all these offerings.
Clarice Vance. the celebrated South
ern singer, and katheryn Osterman

CHESS|N CHARGES

Talented Russian, Named in
100000 Alienation Suit,
Denies Allegations.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 21.-Alexan-
der S. Chessin, a former Columbia
professor. who is being sued for $780,
900 by Marshall A. 7erney, a New
York lawyer, for alternating the affec-
tons of Mrs. Barney. declared today
the whole affair to be blackmail
Chessin has been arrested and is out
in $500 bail.
Mrs. Barney, who is now residing
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
George Martin. at 10 Britton street
this city, today denied the charges
made by Barney. She said:
During the six months of our So
called happiness 1 threatened to leave
him on several occasions on account
of his behavior, namely. smashing
furniture when in his tantrums, pull
ing the tableeloth with the dishes
and contents off the table and using
the lowest forms of profanity continu-
ally. His busy period in his law Office
which he mentioned in the papers
filed in the New York Supreme Court,
was that he had been indicted by the
Federal authorities on charges of
using the mails to defraud. which in
dictment, he has told me, had been
dismissed two years before.
During the two years of our resi-
dence in Bayonne he never came home
for weeks at time. always giving as
an excuse that his new venture. in the
New York and Long Island Realty
Company, of which he was president,
and John McLaren, his present coun-
sell treasurer, detained him in his
office. He preferred to go from his
office to the baths rather than to his
home.
"Our home in Bayonne was burned
down three years ago, and we went to
Staten Island to live. His conduct
while living at Staten Island was most
humiliating. and if it had not been for
the kindness of the guests at both Of
the houses at which we stopped my
life would have been one continual
period of desolation. He was jealous
of every one who spoke to me, and
expected me to live the life of a
recluse."

P'ASSAIC WILL
: FOLLOW ESSEX
PLAN OF ACTION
Democrats UP There Say DEM
ocrats Down Here Have
: Practical Ideas.

Special to the Evening Star.
PATTERSON, Aug. 21-Politics are
beginning to stir in Passaic county.
The Democratic organization has set
about to put a ticket in the field at
the primaries next month, which, they
feel sure, If nominated, will be elected
In November and bring this staunch
republican county back into the
Democratic ranks
In order to do so, Chairman John
Boylan, of the Democratic County
Committee, and other Democ eic
leaders, have decided to follow out the
plan of Essex county Democracy. For
the first time since the enactment of
the Geran act, the Democratic organ
tzation will indorse a ticket prior to
the primaries.
In past years the Democratic Coun-
ty Committee has been very unsuc-
cessful in its efforts to elect it's ticket.
With the exception of the time when
the Bull Moose made its initial APP
pearanee with such a strong ticket,
Democratic chances in this county
were always slim.
But this year Chairman Boylan has
named a committee of prominent
Democrats to select the ticket which
will be bracketed on the primary bal
lot. This committee is composed of
City Treasurer Raymond j. Newman,
of this city; United States Assistant
District Attorney Charles L. Lynch
and others, who are at present busy
going over the Democratic registry
lists with a view to selecting the
strongest men possible.
They plan the most vigorous cam
paign in the history of Democracy in
Passaic county. And the Republicans,
fully aware of the plans of their OPP
ponent, are braced for the attack.
The Democrats will make their
strongest assault on the forts the
Republicans have built around the
Assembly and congressional fields.
One prominent Democrat, speaking
of the plan of campaign, today said:
After some costly experience, we
have come to the conclusion that Es-
sex county Democracy has been right
in first indorsing a ticket before the
primaries. We've decided to do that
this year. 1t is our plan to select men
for the ticket who will be of such a
high calibre and standing, both as re-
CARDS their Democracy as well as
their intellect, that even Republicans
will find themselves free to vote for
Them
Continuing, the speaker said that in
former years, when the Democratic
County Committee took no stand be- |
fore the primaries, the Democrats had |
nominated a ticket that was entirely |
from Paterson.
Naturally" he said, "the Demo-
Gratis of Passaic and the townships |
were annoyed. But what could the
county committee do about it? But |
this year we plan to arrange our As
sembly ticket along imaginary dis
frict lines, giving all sections candi-
date. And we expect to win. OF
course. if the Democrats burst |
through the bracket lines, we will do
our utmost for the ticket nominated"

ment when he recognizes his beloved
one.
Another feature Of unusual note at
the Goodwin is the verigraph series
of pictures. Seen with the naked eye,
these pictures seem mere blurs on
the screen. But, when viewed
through a lorgnette. which is pre-
sented to each visitor, the pictures
stand forth as clearly and wildly as
in real life. Indeed, the lorgnette.
one lens Of which is red. the other
green, adds to the pictures the third
dimension-that of depth-which is
lacking in all other pictures. In sew
eral instances the optical Illusion Is
so great that one imagines that the
objects on the screen project out into
the auditorium. In one instance in
particular, that of tree, the branch
es seem to protrude so far that spec
tators in the last rows thought they
could reach out and hang their hats
upon them.

Grit Thrown in Pond, Sues
for Damages to Mill Wheel
snecial to the EsenInr star.

Special to the Evening Star. sss-e.S
TRENTON, Aug. 21-Two novel
grounds for the action are given in a
suit just started in the Supreme Court
by George e. Opdycke, of Bethlehem
township, Hunterdon county, against
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company,
for $1,000 damages. Opdycke owns y
farm containing a pond with a mill
dam and a mill. The raceway carry :
ing the water to his mill runs UNDER
meath the tracks of the railroad. He
charges that employees of the railroad
company threw fine grit and stones
into the pond, so that they were car
ried through the raceway into his
turbine water wheel. He alleges that
the wheel was ruined, and on this
account he asks $1,000 damages.
In the second count Opdycke alleges
that he was driving a valuable colt
across bridge owned by the railroad
company. near his farm, and that the
bridge had been allowed to get into
such bad repair that the colt broke
through the flooring and was SO
badly injured as to be rendered USE
less. He also asks $1,000 damages on
this count.

Saying Doctor Was Negligent,
Woman and Husband Sue Him
Special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Aug. 21.-Suit for
$4,000 damages has been instituted
IN the Supreme Court here against
DR.. John H. Winslow, a well-known
physician and surgeon of Vineland
by Mrs Sadie r. Niebel, and her hus-
band, John F. Niebel. of Yineland.
Mrs Niebel sues for So 900, charging
that DR.. Winslow improperly per-
formed an operation upon her, and
her husband sues for $4,000 for the
loss of his wife's services.
Mrs. Niebel alleges that in October.
1918. DR.. Winslow operated upon her
so negligently that she had to I'M
dergo several other operations. She
charges that her health was badly
shattered and that DR.. Winslow is re-
sponsible for her condition. She
claims, therefore, that the court
should compel the physician to pay
her the damages asked. Mr.. Niebel
also holds the physician responsible
for his wife's condition, and so asks
for the $1,000 damages.
