Many Madison Affairs TO
Observe Thanksgiving Day
special to the Evening Star.

MADISON. Nov. 23.-Thanksgiving
Day, naXt Thursday, will be cele-
brated in Madison this year more
completely than it has been in num-
Der of years.
One of the chief attractions will be
the free dance to be given under the
auspices of the playground comittee
of the Thursday Morning Club in the
Central Avenue School building. This
will be an innovation this year, as the
weekly dances have not heretofore
been held on holidays. So well con-
Quoted are these dances by the wom-
en- in charge that they have become
one of the chief sources of enjoy
ment to young Madisonians. Among
the members in charge of the dances
this year are Mrs. Samuel G.. Red
mond, chairman; Mrs. H. King Conk-
lin, Mrs. Edwin Lee carp, Mrs. Ed
mund w. Hewson. Miss Annabelle
Miller. Miss Eleanor Van De Water
and Miss Cleone Bencini.
An elaborate program is being
planned for the union Thanksgiving
service to be held in Webb Memorial
chapel, in Green avenue. The pas
tors of all the Protestant churches
are giving much effort to perfectins
every detail OF the exercises, anu IL Is
sure to be a success and probably the
largest union service held this year.
After what has been its most sue
cessfill season in a number of years,
the Madison Golf Club will close the
season Thursday evening with a
dance in the clubhouse, in Green
avenue
What will be known as Pilgrims
Dav, a sort of historical pageant, will
be held in the Madison Academy, In
Green Village road. The proPram Is
in charge of Miss Ruth K. Stoweil,
supervising principal OF the school.
In the local Y NJ. c. A the public
schools and in sonse of the churches
separately there will be some observ-
ance of the day. Tomorrow evening

Plan to Get Scalp of State As.
SCISSOR Who Changed His
Political Faith.
Special to the Evening Star.

Special TO the Evening Star.
TRENTON, Nov. 23.-The speaker
ship of the House will be settled by
the Republican Assembly caucus to-
morrow and after that a joint con-
ference will be called to make plans
for carrying out the platform pledges
for amending some of the bills in
troduced by the Democrats last
winter and to take some of the
teeth" out of the bills reported by
the Economy and Efficiency Com
mission last winter.
There seems to be a general under
standing that the State Board of As
SCISSORS, which is supposed to value
the railroad and canal property of
the State and assess the taxes there
on, and the State Board of Equaliza
ton of Taxes, whose duty it is to
equalize the valuations for taxation
purposes placed upon all other classes
of property, will be abolished and 0
single board created to do the work
of the two.
At present there are four members
Of the Board of Assessors and five
members of the tax equalization
board. The york of neither body
requires more than two or three
months time during the year. Both
occupy commodious and desirable
suites in the Capitol and maintain
numerous secretaries and clerks, who
do the actual work. One costs the
State s43,600 a year, and the other
30,150; and the board that does the
less work Is the more expensive.
Economy the Reason.
Economy and efficiency will be the
reason given for consolidating the
fxxvO xtrkr -
factors. But there Is more control
The State Board of Assessors Is COM
posed of George L. Record and
Charles e. Hendrickson. Of Jersey
City; DR.. Isaac Barber, of Phillips
burg, and Frederick A. Gentieu, OF
Pennsgrove, in Salem county.
Hendrickson and Barber are Demo
Gratis; Record was appointed as Q
Progressive. Nobody here seems tc
know the Pennsgrove man or his
politics; hence, as he was appointed
by a Democratic governor, he is
probably, q Republican who carries
little influence. Record is the par
ticular individual whose scalp the
Republicans would like to get, and
there is scarcely a doubt that they
will succeed.
For many years Record, who is a
Maine Yankee, was a Democrat, and
caused much trouble to the Demo-
cratic bosses in Hudson by insisting
on running for office. He was nomi-
mated for Congress and beaten, and
soon afterward became a Republican
and was appointed as counsel of the
Riparian Commission, where lie
served for several years with profit
to himself and as a disturber OF
Democratic affairs in Hudson.
There was a scandal In the Riparian
Commission a few years ago and Mr..

SUSPECT FABDR|
WIRELESS PLANT
:.
Secret Service Men Investigate
British Claim 1t Was Used
to Aid Germans.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.--As result
Of the British embassy's complaint to
Washington that the German govern
ment is getting wireless information
in this country of the movements of
British war vessels, Secret Service
agents are investigating the Tabbri
wireless plant at Bar Harbor, it was
said today.
This plant is the best equipped and
most powerful in New England, and
10 on the estate of Ernesto G. and
Alessandro Fabbri, of New York and
Bar Harbor. Ernesto Fabbr1 married
Edith Shepard, whose mother is a
daughter Of the late William II. Van
derbilt. The father of the brothers
was a member Of ]. P. Morgan & Co.
r before he retired and went abroad,
where he died. While of Italian ex-
traction, Alessandro Fabbri is said to
be strongly in sympathy with Ger
many.
Wireless communications between
this country and Germany is supposed
to be under a strict censorship, but
England has been claiming for some
time that German agents were get
ting quick and accurate information
in America. The British blame nu-
merous sea reverses in American
waters on the wireless advices Ger
many obtained in some way. 1t Is q
theory of secret service men that
wireless messages concerning British
ships were caught by an amateur, put
into code and sent to various German
centres by land wires.
When Federal officers began work
ing on Great Britain's complaint they
had reason to believe there was con-
siderable wireless activity in Maine,
and hurried there. Every holder of
an amateur license in the State, in
gated. Five of the twenty-one wire
less outfits in that State were in
Bar Harbor.
The Secret Service agents learned
that the Fabbris, particularly Ales-
sandro, were on Intimate terms with
Captain Polack, of the Kronprinzes-
sin Cecilie, which returned with many
millions in gold and put into Bar
Harbor soon after the war began 70
avoid capture by the British. The
captain has been entertained at the
Fabbri cottage, the ships band
played on the lawn, and the Fabbris
entertained squads of $50 of the
ships crew at time in a moving
picture theatre there.
For three days after the arrival of
the German liner it is said the Fab
bris isolated themselves in their
wireless room and worked and slept
in relays. Soon after the ships ar
rival she left her first anchorage and
moved to one just opposite the land
ing of the Fabbri estate.

Parents Must Pay for the
Crimes of Their Children

TRENTON. Nov. 2S.-For the first
time In the history of Mercer county,
and probably in the State a father
and mother have been arrested for
the alleged misdeeds of their chill
dren the recent grand jury having
brought in a true bill against Joseph
and Catherine Malkowsxi on the
ground that they caused the delin-
quency of their daughter Helen and
son Edward who are in penal insti-
tutions.
The parents have entered pleas of
not guilty to the indictment which
charges them with having permitted
their children to roam the streets and
thereby become criminals. The chill
dren accused the father and mother
of having become intoxicated and
neglecting them.

REPUBLICANS, FOR REVENGE,
WILL GUST GEORGE L. RECORD

Records retirement followed. He be-
came one of the original Progressives,
during which time he served as cor
poration counsel of Jersey City under
Mayor Pagan.
The Republicans have no love for
Mr. Record and he will be one of the
first to go unless plans miscarry.
During former Governor Forts adj
ministration the State appointed ex-
perts to reappraise the value of all
railroad and canal property for tax
ing purposes. This is the work that
the State Board of Assessors had
been paid to do, but there was a very
strong suspicion that the members
were not only lodging their work, but
were unduly favorlng the railroads.
Added Millions to Valuations.
The experts added several million
dollars to the valuations, thus prov
ing that the suspicion was justified,
but this did not satisfy the Jersey
City politicians and agitators, and
when Mr. Record was appointed to
the Board of Assessors by Governor
Wilson in 1911 he Is said to have in
duced the board to add million dol
lars to the assessment against the
property of the Long Docks Company
in Jersey City.
A contest In the courts followed and
the Court Of Errors and Appeals de-
cided it in favor of the company last
week, setting aside assessments ag-
gregating more than $1,000, 600 JUS
tice Swayze, who wrote the opinion,
said that 1t was the manifest inten-
ton of the Legislature to afford rail-
roads equal protection of the laws in
common with other citizens.
Commenting on the fact that the
testimony of experts called by both
sides was practically the same as to
the value of the property and that the
assessors had been persuaded by Mr..
Record to add 20 per cent to this
value, the court said 1t could not as
sumo that the assessors possessed
knowledge not possessed by the ex-
perts. The Legislature had In 1909
authorized the employment of ex-
perts, and as there was no presump-
ton in the mind of the Legislature
that members of the board would
know more than the experts the court
| ought not to assume such to be the
fact without proof
| Discredited by the courts, disliked
by the Republicans-and many DEM
| ocrats-and without the friendship of
the railroads, Mr.. Record will surely
be onsted. 1t Is not believed that
| Governor Fielder will care to appoint
| him to the new board that will be
created, but If he does the Republi-
| can senators will be able to prevent
confirmation.
There are some Republicans who
will be glad Of the chance to get"
