Elders Driven Out
Of New Brunswick
Elder MILFORD RussOn and Others
Given Alternative to Leave or Go
TO Prison.

In letter received by MIR. md Mrs.
Enoch Russon from their sun, Will
ford, who is laboring as missionary
In st. John, New Brunswick. IT is
there have banished them from The
province The elders were given forty
hours to leave, or I'm case of their
failure to leave, the magistrate stated,
they would be fined $40 or be SEN
fenced to jail for 20 days. AS the con-
dition of the elders would not be i'm
proved any after they had paid fine
or served term In Jail, they decided
10 leave for Portland, Me, at least
for the present.
The trouble was caused by a New
Brunswick law which reads that all
professional men must take out a
license before practicing their pro-
fession. The elders were unwilling
to take out license for lccturing OF
tracting, holding that preaching the
gospel was not profession. They
hired barrster to plead their case,
but the Judge evidently in continuity
With the popular clamor of the people
Of st. John, decided that the elders
mad violated the law and must either
cave or be fined

FINANCIAL INTERESTS
ARE FIGHTING CR0PSEY
Sullivan-Grout Ring Trying to
Beat District Attorney.

That District Attorney Cropsey's re-
election will be bitterly. opposed by
certain financial interests hard hit by
his prosecutions of David A. Sullivan
and Edward NJ. Grout, Of the Union
Bank in Brooklyn, was reluctantly ad-
mitted by Republican district leaders
Yesterday. Actual threats, it was
learned, were made to Mr.. Cropsey dur
ing the Grout trial that his scalp would
be in danger if Grout was convicted.
Already reports of disafectlon in
one Assembly district have been circu-
lated. and although the leaders are do
ing their best to deny them it is evl-
dent that opposition to the District At
torney is already at work. The District
Attorneys popularity among the sew,
eral thousand depositors of the wrecked
bank and their friends is pronounced,
and for that reason the leaders are con-
fident that he will be reelected.
"The selection of Robert II. Elder to
run against Mr.. Cropsey is an indca-
tion of the hard fight the District At
torney will have to face" said leader
in the 18th Assembly District, "but we
are not worrying. The very selection
of Elder gives US the issue. On one
side we have the man who successfully
prosecuted financial wrongdoers and on
the other we have the man who unsuc-
cessfully defended them"

URGES ELECTIONS
BOARD BE HALVED
WaIlstein Wants Appoint
ments of Members Re
stored to Mayor.
PARTY CONTROL
DANGEROUS EVIL
Blames Present Officials for Put.
ting Partisan Politics Above
City's Interests.

Marked changes in the method OF
appointing the members OF the Board
OF Elections and in the administration
Of that Office are recommended in the
report presented by Leonard VI. Wall
stein, Commissioner OF Accounts, TO
Mayor Mitchell yesterday. These are
the recommendations:
An amendment should vest the power
of appointing the commissioners in
the Mayor, who had that power prior
10 1911, when 1t was transferred to the
Board Of Aldermen to insure the re-
appointment OF Commissioner Kane,
whom Mayor Gaynor had refused 10 re-
appoint. A further amendment should
provide that incumbent commissioners
may not hold over after the expiration
of their terms. This would prevent a
person unacceptable to the Mayor from
remaining in Office while his organiza-
tion refused to recommend another and
continued in deadlock with the Mayor.
Such amendments, also, would restore
a needed check upon organization dom
nance Of the Board Of Elections.
The number of commissioners should
be reduced from four 10 tive, Of oppo-
site political faith. This would elm
mate salary waste, promote efficiency,
remove undue preference for New York
and Kings counties, and give the Mayor
a larger field from which to select the
best men.
As 10 local election officers, the two or
ganizations should not. as now in effect
appoint them. The organization should
be permitted merely to vouch for the
party membership and loyalty of GER
tain individuals.
Commissioner Wallstein points out
that under the present law the political
organizations in effect name the MEM
bers of the Board of Elections because
the Board of Aldermen, which has the
nominal power, is made up of such
small political units and its member
ship is so large as to lose all sense Of
responsibility.
Such a system" he says, "encour-
ages the appointment of individuals
devoted to the interests of their or
ganization rather than to the public in
terest. II has permitted the repeated
appointment Of one individual of
proved unftness and another who ut
terly fails TO realize that his official
position renders improper partisan ac
tivity. which violates the spirit of the
election law.
"The whole matter of the selection
of local election officials indicates that
the board has exercised all the discre
tion committed to it toward making
itself an adjunct of the political or
ganization rather than an instrument
Of public service"
Commissioner Wallstein suggests
that the parties should recommend
more than one person for each appoint
ment and that the civil service exam
nations should be adequate in each

midnight is the latest a petition may

Members of the law committees OF
the Republican, Democratic and Pro-
gressive parties stood by yesterday az
their headquarters to assist in the

no provisions of the law be violated
which would render petition void.

announced they had received more
than enough signatures TO designate
him as a candidate for District Attor-
ney in both the Republican and the
Progressive primaries. Both petitions
will be filed to-day.
Mr.. Moss will begin his campaign
among the Republican voters tonight
by speaking at the 1st Assembly Dis
