V|CE-CHANCELLOR
CR|T|C|SES LAWS
Stevens Declares Man Out of
Work Shouldn't Be Jailed
for Non-Support.

Vice Chancellor Stevens In the chan
Gerry chambers today took occasion to
criticise the laws of New Jersey
which requires the courts to send a
man to Jail for non-support even
though the man has no money and
can't find employment.
IF the Legislature would pass a
law whereby a man could be put at
some work and the wages turned
over TO his wife then the court could
do something. AS it stands now
there is nothing to do with man
who does not support his wife but
send him to jail. While he's in Jail
he's no benefit to his wife. He can't
support her; neither can he find en-
ployment. Under the laws now the
court has power to send such a man
to jail. That's poor remedy" the
vice. chancellor declared.
Give the man a chance. Let him
have a chance to get employment.
Let work be provided for him so
that his wife might be benefited"
The case before the court at the
time was an action brought by Fanny
Sherman, of Brooklyn, against her
husband. Benjamin Sherman, of
for support. The defend
ant had testified that he was in Ill
health and out of work and had no
money.
II don't want to send this man to
jail" said the vice-chancellor. "Td
rather give him a chance"
The court said he would lay the
matter over until April in order to
give the defendant time to make an
honest effort to find employment.
"Of course If he DOESN'T" the vice
chancellor said, II may have to send
him to jail"

SHOOTERS ISLAND
YARD TO REOPEN
George C. Wiedenmayer, of
Newark, Interested in New
ShipbuiIding Concern.

George C. Wiedenmayer, of this
city, head of the George C. Wieden-
mayer Excursion Company; Thomas
Drum, John J. Cottrell and Redmond
j. Drum, of Elizabeth, have formed
the Drum Dry Dock Corporation and
Will reopen the old ship-yard at
Shooters Island In the XIII Won Kull,
which has lain idle for about Ave
years, In about two weeks. The ship
yard on Shooters Island. which was
owned by Townsend & Downe, was
the place where many notable boats
We're built In years gone by. A num-
Der of people might remember the
launching of the Meteor which was
built there for Emperor william of
Germany. At the launching many of
the highest officials and prominent
citizens of two hemispheres were
present.
The seat of the present corporation
is at the offices of the Wiedenmayer
Excursion Company on the CONNER
cial wharf, this city.
Thomas Drum. who was interested
in the building and repairing of ships
for a number of years. during which
he owned the Drum dry dock at Port
Ivory, Staten Island, is president of
the new concern. Mr.. Drum found
that the facilities for repairing ships
at the Staten Island yards were not
adequate and for that reason became
interested in the opening of the
Shooters Island yards.
The new concern has only pur-
chased the plant at the eastern end
of the island. At that part q ship
400 feet long, with displacement of
5000 tons, can be dry-docked and re-
paired with little trouble. Mr..
Wiedenmayer stated today that the
new company would not build ships,
but the work in the yard would be
confined to the repairing of merchant
vessels, schooners, etc.
The four boats owned by the excur-
sion company will be sent to the new
yards for repairs. They are the Ma
jestic, Minerva, Newark and william
Storie. Mr.. Wiedenmayer Is treas
urer of the concern.

ALL LOBBYING At
CAPITOL IS ENDED"
So Declares U. S. Chamber of
Commerce Head-Newark
Business Men Attend.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-More
than 500 delegates, representing every
State in the Union, were gathered at
the opening OF the convention OF the
Chamber OF Commerce of the United
States today, when President Harry
A. Wheeler. of Chicago, in his ad-
dress pictured the vast foundation
upon which the organization is based.
The chamber now comprises so per
cent. of the business organizations of
the country, he said, built upon a
membership of over a quarter of a
million.
Newark was represented at the ses-
sion by Messrs. Franklin Conklin.
Forrest F. Dryden, ]. Henry Bachel-
Ter, Herbert p. Gleason, Charles
Bradley, George F. Morrison and
James Flockhart. The Newark bust
ness men had seats we'll to the fore
In the convention room in the New
Willard and they were greeted with
glad welcomes by many business men
from all parts of the country who
recognized them as representatives
of the foremost Industrial centre of
the United States.
The voice of American business had
found expression that could not be
denied, Mr.. Wheeler declared, and the
death-knell of lobbying In Washing
ton had been sounded.
When American business wishes
to speak," he said, "it can go to
Congress or to the executive and say:
This Is the opinion of American busi-
ness on this particular subject This
Is new day when our methods are
being reorganized and the organized
forces Of labor and of agriculture and
of commerce meet here in Washing
ton, not for war, but for peace; that
the opinion of each may have its
place in framing the laws upon which
all shall live"
President Wheeler pointed out that
one of the six referendum votes
taken by the Chamber of Commerce
had found its way to the statute
books in part at least in the new
currency law. Legislators, he said,
welcomed such expressions of opin-
ion. but he warned his hearers not
to lose patience. TO give the legisIa-
tors full opportunity to assure them
selves that 1t was the expression of
American business, not the voice of a
few. selfish interests which spoke.

suit must be taken as basis for future

testants have fewer incorrect answers
than those referred to above.
In spite of our almost daily repeated
caution to contestants to use the utmost

a separate coupon must be used for each

1essness in these respects.
The sense of the proverbs represented
by the pictures is not enough. The exact
wording and punctuation of the proverbs,
according to our official book can only be
considered correct.
And as to the use of coupons, several
sets of answers thus far examined are
found TO have slips of paper pinned to
them containing answers This is In di-
rect opposition to the rules and to our re-

considered ineligible.

bid Confessions.

Tampico, July 26, via Laredo, Tex.
July 2S.-A decree limiting the scope
of the Roman Catholic Church in the
State of Nuevo Leon, on the ground
Of "public health, morality, and JUS
tice.' has been issued by Antonio I.
Villarael, Governor and military COM
mander He said
During the life of the nation the
church has been a pernicious factor
in disruption and discord, and has en-
tirely forgotten its spiritual mis-
sion"
The most drastic feature of the de-
cree is the prohibition of confession.
Niilareal gives as his reason for this
the charge that the confessional and
the sacristy in Mexico have become
menace to morality.
The decree, issued at Monterey,
makes the following orders for gov
ernment of Catholic schools and
churches:
81. All foreign Catholic priests and
Jcsuits of whatever nationality, will
be expelled from the State Of Nuevo
Leon.
"2. OF the remaining Catholic
priests, those who cannot prove their
complete abstention from politics will
be expelled.
"3. Churches will remain open
daily from G in the morning until l
in the afternoon. Only priests hav-
inc permission to do so will be per-
mitted to ohiciate.
Il. Confession is prohibited.
as. The public is prohibited from
entering the sacristy.
&c. Church bells shall ring only
to celebrate fiestas in honor of the
country or for triumphs of the con-
stitutionalist arms.
: 81. All Catholic colleges shall be
closed which do not obey the pro-
grams and texts ordered by officials,
and which do not have at their head
some professor who is a graduate OF
the normal schools of the country
who will be responsible to the gov
ernment for any infraction of the
rules.
"s. Any infraction of these laws
will be punishable e by fine of SlOO
Ito $500, and arrest and imprlson'
ment from two to- four months, OF
both fine and imprisonment"

Hot Springs, Ark, July 2S.-To be
deserted by her husband after she

than her strong affection for her
husband could stand.
McGill was arrested and returned

fled. He claimed he had no nten-
tion of deserting his wife, that he
had merely "struck out" for a new
location, and intended writing TO,

room on crutches, agreed that if her

would drop the prosecution.
