MURRAY TO GIVE
WAY To SNYDER
ON COUNTY BOARD
important Changes in Election
Officers Have Been
Planned.
STATE CHAlRMEN ARE
MASTERS OF SITUATION
Except When Names Are Not
Submitted in June-Dunnion
for Cox's Place.

There's going to be another change
or two in the Essex County Board of
Elections, from all accounts. John r
Murray, Republican, is to be dropped,
and no less a prominent citizen than
Andrew C. Snyder OF the American
Oil and Supply Company, is to take
his place. Mr.. Snyder like Mr.. Muir
ray, is Republican. He was a can
didate for county supervisor two
years ago, and last fall he was the
preferred candidate of the county
committee for the mayoralty nomina-
tlon.
Why Murray is to be dropped is q
question that Is being more or less
warmly discussed He is a Repub-
lican, and a member of the county
committee. He was candidate for
the nomination for street and water
commissioner In an independent way
last year, much against the wishes
of the party organization, which
favored other candidates
Perhaps this may have something
to do with his "turndown' now.
State Chairman Supreme.
At all events. the county committee
has forwarded to State Chairman
Bugbee the name of Snyder to sue
eeed Murray as member of the
County Election Board.
That settles Murray and lands Sny-
der, as the matter is one entirely in
the hands of the State chairman. Re
publican State chairmen, unlike
Democratic State chairmen, listen TO
the voice of the heads of the respec-
tive county organizations, and on the
basis of party politics accept their
recommendations and appoint the
men suggested.
The salary OF a member of the
County Election Board is $1,000 per
year.
There is a mistaken idea that the
governor of the State has the last
say in matters of this kind; that he
can nominate an election officer over
the head of State chairman.
As a matter of fact, if the names
of election officers are forwarded by
State chairmen to the governor In
the month of June the latter has no
choice but to ratify the nominations
The governor I'm such cases figures
only in a ministerial capacity; but II
no nominations are submitted dur
ing June the governor Is not bound
to recognize the State chairmen's Sc
lections.
VIII Respect County Committee.
As previously stated the Republi-
can State chairman Is certain to abide
by the county committees recon-
mendations, the more so, 1t was ex-
planned today. because of the impor-
tance to the party Of next years cleo
ton.
There may be a change in the Dem
ocratic end of the county election
board, too, judging from some ac-
counts-that Is, unless Democratic
State Chairman Edward e. Grosscup
deliberately spurns the Essex County
Democratic Committee, regardless of
the effect such action might have on
the campaign OF 1916, which is nat
urally of as much, if not of greater.
Importance to the Democrats than 1t
is to the Republicans.
The term of John l.. Cox, chairman
of the county election board, ex-
pires in about q month. Mr.. Cox
halls from Montclair. The. Demo-
Gratis will probably recommend the
naming of Frank Dunnion, also of
Montclair, to succeed Mr.. Cox.

Fine Weather Over Fourth
of July Is Predicted

The forecaster at Washington be-
l;eves that we will have fine weather
over the Fourth of July, saying In
tbe weekly "crop bulletin issued TO-
day that fair weather should prevail
according to present indications IN
ALI parts of the country except ore
gon. and even there he did not think
the rain would be heavy.
The forecasteT says explicitly that
no guarantee goes with his state
ment and that II must not be re-
garded as q promise even, but mere
ly a glimpse at weather In the maxi
ing as seen by one whose business IL
Is to watch such events.
Things looked just as pleasant and
easy going to him a few days before
Easter, and he said so, but between
the issue of the bulletin and the
coming of Easter storm from
which retail merchants will date
time for generation came in by
the back way and gave US blizzard
which would be worthy OF note in
the middle Of winter.
Nearly all our weather comes from
the west and its course across the
country is easy to plot out, but now
and then a storm sneaks in back
wards from the West Indies and the
Caribbean sea, just as did the Easter
blizzard. The coming of these can
not be foretold, as the weather man
has no observatories at sea, and
such storm is possible at any time.
Only such a one, the forecaster says,
will prevent the Fourth from being
fair and fine here and hereabouts.
Until then things may be different,
however, Professor William Wiener,
the local forecaster, says that indica-
tions at noon today pointed to cloudy
weather tonight and showers tomor-
row, as the wind, blowing ten miles
an hour at noon today, showed signs
of being about to shift into the south
and diminish in volume.
Yesterdays highest temperature in
Newark was 81, and last night the
mercury dropped only to GA, nine de-
grees above the low mark Of Sunday
night. At noon the temperature was
so and rising.

Judge Gray, Who
Figured in Bank
Case Here, Dead
New York Jurist Fought Com
promise Offer in Mechanics
Bank Failure.
Special to the Evening star.

NEWPORT, R. l., June 2s-John
Clinton Gray. for twenty-five years a
member of the New York Court OF
Appeals, died here yesterday from
apoplexy after suffering from pneu-
monia for three days. He was born
in New York city seventy three years
ago, and on his mothers side was one
of the old Zabriskie family, of Bergen
county, New Jersey. Through this
connection he was related to the late
Judge William B. Hornblower, of New
York, who was a native of Paterson
n. J.
Judge Gray's most notable legal
before appointment to
the bench was as counsel for New
York creditor banks in the noted fail
ure of the Mechanics Bank, of New
ark, n. j., a generation ago. In that
case he fought the compromise offer
of the directors with such success
that his clients were paid in full with
per cent. interest, while no other
bank was able to effect so satisfac-
tory a settlement.
While many of his judicial opinions
have become commercial law, none
attracted such wide attention as his
exposition of the elements of the case
against Carlyle w. Harris, a convict
ed wife poisoner. whose chances for
escape from the law seemed good for
a time because of legal intricacies.

At the time of their arrest Catino
and Lobertiello, it is claimed, each

MAYOR RAYMOND
HAS TO ANSWER
IN CIVIL ACTION
Ordered by Court to Show
Cause Why He as Receiver
Should Not Pay Debt.
SEQUEL TO THE FAILURE
OF TRUNK SEWER FIRM
Lawyer Declares Raymond
Contracted Debts With No
Assets in Sight.

An order has been signed by Vice
Chancellor Emery directing Mayor
Thomas L. Raymond, as receiver for
the Healy Contracting Company, to
show cause Tuesday, July 1S, why
the petition of the Manufacturers
Coal Company, of Delaware. should
not be granted. The petition asks
that an order be signed directing Mr..
Raymond to pay to the company the
sum of $780, for coal supplied.
This debt like others, was contract
ed since the mayor was appointed re-
ceiver for the company, october 21,
1913. by VicelChancellor Howell. At
the time of Mr.. Raymond's appoint
ment the Healy company had con-
tract for the construction of a sec
ton of the Passaic valley trunk
sewer. The receiver was directed to
proceed with the work. In order to
go ahead Mr.. Raymond had to pur-
chase supplies.
An account filed by Mr. Raymond
shows that the assets of the Healy
company, accumulated since his ap-
pointment as receiver amounted to
$40, ,S61, and that he has disbursed to
various creditors sums aggregating
$67. .795.
Seeking his order today, John j.
Lynn, solicitor for the local COM
pany, told Chancellor Emery
that since his appointment, Mayor
Raymond has contracted debts
amounting to $24,S $3.50, and that there
appears to be no assets or any pros
pective assets to meet the Indebted
ness so contracted.
II the prayer of Mr.. Lynn's client
is granted, and II is found that there
were no prospective assets at the
time the receiver entered into the
contract with the coal company, an
other proceeding against him person.
ally will be begun, with the object of
obtaining a Judgment against him.

ALBRIGHT SPENDS
FIVE HOURS ON
WITNESS STAND
Much Interest Among Trade
Over "Rubberset" Injunc-
ton Suit.

After an examination that covered
five and three quarter hours and ex-
tended over a portion of two days,
Andrew Albright, jr.. president of
the Rubber and Celluloid Harness
and Trimming Company, of this city,
who Is suing the r. w. Devoe Il C. #.
Reynolds Company, of New York,
upon injunction proceedings before
Judge Haight In the United States
Court, wound up his testimony today.
The suit Is based on an application
by the Newark company for an in
junction to prevent the use by the
defendant concern of any name sim
liar to "Rubberset" which has been
patented by the local concern and
advertised at cost of several hun
dred thousand dollars, according to
the testimony Of Mr. Albright while
on the stand,
While to the lay mind the testi-
mony in the case would appear to be
almost entirely technical In character
there Is interest in the case from a
trade standpoint and able counsel
has been engaged on both sides. Judge
Alfred r.. skinner Of the law firm
of Pitney, Hardin a. Skinner. repre-
sents the plaintiff company. and the
+. w. Devoe and c. r, Reynolds Com
pany is represented by Chauncey 6.
Parker and his associate counsel,
David II. Yopteff
Not only is the plaintiff concern
seeking an injunction against the
New York company, but an account
ing is asked for, in order that q
basis may be found for the assess
ment damages against the defendant
company for alleged infringement of
the Rubberset company's right to the
name "Rubberset." Additional inter-
est attaches to the case from the
fact that the local company has al
ready secured q restraining order
against the Rubber Bound Brush
Company, action having been begun
in the State courts in 1911 and car
ried all the way through the Court
of Errors and Appeals.
In many respects the hearing room
of the United States Court resembled
paint shop today, brushes and tin
signs, as well as paper cartons, be-
ing spread about on chairs and tables.
These exhibits were identified by
Mr. Albright as part of the para
phernalia used by his concern in ad-
vertising rubberset brushes and put
ting them on the market.
Smell Determines Settings.
Six brushes, which were shown to
Mr.. Albright by Attorney Parker,
with the request that he tell the court
whether or not they were set in rub
ber cement, rosin, glue or some other
material, were carefully examined by
the witness, who was also seen to

Taken to Guard Against At
tack by Submarines.

LIVERPOOL, June 29.-Extraordi-
nary precautions to safeguard pas
sengers' lives in case of submarine
attacks were taken by officers of
the White Star liner Cymric, which
arrived here today from New York.
The vessel carried cargo of war
munitions for the allies.
Every passenger aboard the liner
was supplied with a life belt and
taught how to put it on shortly after
leaving New York. Under the direc-
tion of officers the passengers and
crew were rehearsed in the act of
getting quickly into the boats.
Entering the Irish sea yesterday,
passengers were ordered to adjust
their life belts, boats were swung
out and made ready to be lowered in
stantly and double lookouts were es-
tablished. Officers declared these
precautions reassured some nervous
passengers, who feared the Cymric
might meet the fate of the Lusitania.
They said no submarines were
sighted.

Can't Be Cut of With a Shilling.

French parents tor, at all events. those with more than 2 shillings to dispose of by will| are precluded from the qualification of cutting mutinous child off with a shilling. A reserve is established by law which no testator can bequeath away from his offspring. A Freuchman with one child can dis pose of half his property according to his pleasure: the other half must in evitably pass to the child Those with two children can dispose of only one third of their property. those with three children of oRe-fourth, and so on according to the size of the family. Stern parents occasionally seek to evade the law by subterfuge, but the disposal of property in France is hedg- ed round with so many restrictions that family black sheep are rarely mulcted of their legal inheritances.- London Mail.

Vast Forests of Alaska.

We hear much concerning the rapid disappearance of our forests. The vast timbered area of the eastern and cen tral portions of the United States is fast being transformed into woodless country. becoming very thickly popu lated. and doubtless will never grow much timber again. In Alaska. which is one of our territories, the timber area is estimated to be somewhere near SC per cent of the entire land, and there is considerably more than 10O.- 100000 acres of good woodland, with timber that is of such value it's real worth cannot be estimated. It will require years to even make any marked impression on such vast forest.-Phil, adelphia North American.

HOLDING THE BREATH.
Simple Heart Test Used In Administer.
 ina Anaesthetics.

Simple Heart | est Used Tn Administer' ing Anaesthetics. Dr. w. A. Schtange describes in the Roussky Vratch an easy test which he has devised to determine whether pa- tient who has been told that he must undergo surgical treatment is in con- dition to survive the administration of an anaesthetic If the patient is unable
 to hold his breath for twenty seconds the indications are that his heart Is so weak that he could not be subjected to the strain likely to be imposed by the anaesthetic.
 General anaesthesia Is particularly dangerous to persons suffering from
 myocardial changes, a condition which
 does not permit of ready recognition For this reason the simple test sug- gested by Dr. w. A. Schtange will be
 welcome by the anaesthetist if extend sd experience should verify the doctors
 assertions.
 The test Is based on the fact that a
 healthy person can suspend breathing
 from thirty to forty seconds. This. the
 author states. depends not on the lung capacity, but on the vigor of the heart
 muscle In persons with weak hearts the time Is shortened to twenty or even ten seconds. The patient, seated in chair, is told to take a moderately
 deep inspiration and with the mouth
 closed to hold his breath as long as he
 can. The shorter the time the patient can suspend breathing the greater the danger of an anaesthetic. the latter be ing contraindicated if the time is less l than twenty seconds.-New York Medi- cal Journal

SAVING GRANITE ROCKS.
Steel Wires and Sand and Water Are
 the Apparatus Used.


 Stone is still sawed by hand, even in great cities, where the latest appliances of the mechanical art are to be found. Yet the mechanical saving of rock is at least sixteen centuries old and in recent years has reached stage of perfection.
 The idea of using metal cord and a mixture of sand and water for saw ing stone was patented by Eugene Chevallier in France in 1854. His ap- paratus, with scarcely any change, was used not long ago in cutting trench through the Pont Neuf, in Paris.
 The principle upon which the me chanical stone saw works is described by Victor Raynouard in La Science ct la Vie as follows:
 An endless rope composed of three steel wires twisted together Is set in movement and draws with it a grind ing granular substance. pressing this hard upon the stone that is to be sawed. The mordant substance Is grit mixed with water. The stream of wa ter renders the movement easy and prevents the heating of the cable. The ends of the cable are joined by splic- ing.
 The hardest rocks, such as porphyry. are now sawed more easily than the softer, such as marble, but not so rap idly. Marble is sawed at the rate of nearly nine inches an hour. granite at from six to seven inches an hour.

SLANG IS HARDY.
Some Supposedly Modern Phrases Arc
 Really Centuries old.


 Really Centuries old.
 Much of the current slang supposed to be modern is not new. For in- stance, "kid" (child) goes back as far at least as Massinger's "Old Law" l599).
 "I am old. you say. Yes; parlous old, kids, and you mark me we'll" Kidnap (to nab kid) was certainly aot a new word to De Foe or Bunyan.
 "To skip out" is accounted slang, but In Wycliff's translation of the Bible we read, "Whanne barnabas and poul herden this. thei skipten out"
 In Ralph Roister Doister," the first English comedy, about the middle of the sixteenth century, an actor says. Nay dame, will fire thee out of my house." which certainly has modern ring
 Goldsmith in "rhe Good Natured Man" O76S) says. If the man comes from the Cornish borough you must do him." and this will require no gloss for the modern reader
 "Not in it" is found in Shakespeare's Winters Tale" "They have dance which the wenches say is gallimau- fry of gambols because they are not in it"
 "Cut it out" goes back as far at least as Sheridan's "Critic" Q779), "The per formers have cut it out"
 The optimistic brakeman who had both legs cut off by train and who, when a bystander tried to console him by saying he ought to be thankful he wasn't killed outright, replied, "Tm not kicking." was only using Biblical ex- pression. wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice ?'-Edward A. Allen in Fo- rum
