Isaac D. Ever, "Eighty-three
Years Young" Has Sec
ond Sight.

The first citizen of Hilton to add his
name to the registry list in that Sec
ton of South Orange township yes
terday was Isaac d. Ever, an octo-
genarian, who cast a vote for the
first Republican candidate for the
presidency of the United States, John
c. Fremont. known as the Pathfinder,
and who was defeated by James
Buchanan. Mr.. Ever also voted for
President Lincoln.
For the last twenty years, however,
the aged man has cast his votes only
for Prohibition candidates. He is a
teetetaler and never uses tobacco in
any form.
He admonished the election officers
yesterday who added his name to the
registry list, when they referred to
him as being an "old man."
Eighty Three Years Young"
''I am not DID," he said. 81 was born
eighty-three years ago, but am

CANNOT Be LOYAL
To FRATERN|TIES,
SCOUTS ARE TOLD
National Organ Takes Up the
Movement Inaugurated by
MontcIair Troops.

A second expression respecting the
attitude of the Montelair scout or
ganization toward the High School
fraternity has been issued by Scout
Commissioner Frank f. Gray He
takes the position that the scouts are
not fighting the fraternity, but are
determined to take the stand that
divided loyalty: loyalty to the scouts
and to any frat 'is no loyalty at
ALL"
Scouting" the national organ of
the Boy Scouts of America, has
taken up the theme, after a perusal
OF Mr.. Grays letter which was pub
lished in the Evening Star last week
for the first time, and the matter now
bids fair to be one Of nationwide in
terest. At a meeting Of the scout
leaders of the Northern New Jersey
many asked Mr.. Gray his recipe for
dealing with the frat" Numerous
requests received at the Montclair
headquarters will necessitate the
printing of another quantity of the
original letter.
I'VE think it best" Mr.. Gray
writes, "now that our position in the
frat matter has been heralded all
over the nation, that we state for
ourselves our attitude. lest there be
some misunderstanding. We are not
fighting the 'frats.' We merely state
our Conscientious belief as to prin-
ciples. This is our duty.
we say that no boy can serve two
ideals any more than he can two
masters of any kind. He must choose
one and be loyal to that. Divided
loyalty is not loyalty at all. We
have seen it tried repeatedly, with
the result that the lower won. Every
boy of full high school age is master
of his own choices, and Is responsible
for them.
IF he chooses on principle, and
not on whim, or from persuasion, or
for merely selfish reasons, his choice
is right, for him. If he does not
make his choices on the best prin-
ciples he knows, the loss is his own.
The ideals and practices of the sec
ondary school period frat and those
of the scout movement are radically
Mt variance on most points.
I'VE must naturally support those
OF our own scout movement, If We
are to be consistent. Otherwise we
have no right to sanction them. We
believe scouting principles to be for
the best and safest for boys, and 1t
Is therefore our duty to say so, to
our own members. To others, we
have nothing to say And we take
this position with the utmost friend
liness and good will to ALL

-3 A LABOR union business agent,
man with a wife and two children,
was shot down in daylight and died in
hospital with four bullet wounds on
him, and the top of his skull crushed
from the hammering of some blunt
instrument. Why and who?
That was the case put up to cor
Soner's jury yesterday in the inquest
over the death of Axel Alex alias Ar
mien Luettich. The evidence and the
verdict were talked over in labor
union offices today and especially
among labor men who were joined
with Alex in opposition to the So
called uniform agreement" by which
power of unions to strike is taken
away from them and settlement of
disputes is thrown itno secret arbi-
tration.
The verdict said R. S. Johnson, a
negro, should be held to the grand
jury without bail. Two carpenters,
eyewitnesses, A. J. Lindstrom and
II. E. Weinenberg, told their stories.
They gave this picture:
On Calumet av, near 95th st.,
Johnson called: Say, Alex" and as
Alex moved toward him he whipped
out finch barrel Smith & Wesson.
After the first shot Alex clutched his
hand over his right lung and stag
gered toward a house. Johnson fired
three more shots. Alex was on his
knees, wobbling. Johnson swung his
big revolver like hammer on Alexis
skull.
Patrolman Crowley and physicians
said the trigger guard of the gun was
broken. Alexis right arm was wound

came from was not brought out in
