STATE BOARD REFUSES
TO APPROVE ORDINANCE

The State Board of Public Utility
Commissioners has refused to approve
the ordinance of the City of Absecon,
granting a franchise to the Delaware
& Atlantic Telephone & Telegraph
Company to construct a telephone
line in the streets of the city. The
approval of the ordinance was asked
for by the company.
The State Board refuses the approx
al because the company and the city
authorities have entered into an
agreement under which a free tele-
phone is to be maintained in the local
fire engine house and another at any
location to be selected by the city.
The Utility Board shows that such
free service is held to be illegal by
the Court of Errors in the case of
the Public Service Electric Company
against the Utility Board, involving
free electric lighting of the public
buildings in the City of Plainfield.
While the approval of the ordinance
is withheld, the Board suggests that
if the telephone company or the city
authorities so desire, a further hear
ing will be granted.

GLASS CHARACTERS
AT THE APOLLO.
Potash and Perlmutter Seen In Their
Wall Street Adventures.

"Wall Street Gets Potash and PERL
mutter" is the name of the new play
by Montague Glass and Roi Cooper
Mergue in which Abe and Mawruss,
the famous cloak and suit partners,
are re-introduced to their thousands
of friends under the manager direc-
ton of A. H. Woods. The first re-
ception is being given at the Apollo
New York for a seasons engagement.
There is an interesting story con-
, nected with the writing of the play.
After the tremendous success of the
original potash and Perlmutter" a
second play with Potash and Perlmut-
ter as the central figures was decided
on to meet the popular demand. Ac-
cordingly Mr.. Glass and the late
Charles Klein held Several conference
es and a preliminary sketch vas made.
This outline Mr.. Klein took with him
when he sailed on the Lusitania with
a view of developing it further. When
the L~usitania went down this prelim-
mary draft was lost.
The present piece is entirely the
work of Mr.. Glass and Mr.. Megrue.
None of the other material outlined
in the Glass-Klein sketch was used,
"Wall Street Gets Potash and Perl
mutter" is in three acts and four
scenes and is a comedy in three acts
and a happy ending. It's story deals
with the adventures of the famous
partners in the world of high finance;
how they were tricked and deceived,
and how after a stormy experience,
they returned to their humble begin
nings in East Broadway poorer but
happier.
/, The famous original company in
terprets the piece. 1t includes Bar
nay Bernard, julius Tanner, Madame
/ Cottrelly, Louise Dresser, Lee Kohl
mar, Leo Donnelly, Claireborne Eos
ter and others.

MRS. COLVIN HAS
TRAINED SUFFRAGE
WATCHERS.
Says Fake Suffrage Literature
Is to Be Circulated In
New Jersey.
WARNS SUFFRAGISTS To Be
VIGILANT.

Don't let go until the last momentr
IL the first and last instruction of Mrs.
Fred H. Colvin, who has been prepar-
Ing an army of suffrage watchers all
over the state of New Jersey for the
polls on Oct. 10. 1.-THE ome of
Michigan were counted out" explained
Mrs. Colvin. "They left the polls
without a signed record on their cards
Of the votes. No suffrage watcher
must leave on Oct. 10 without carry
ing away a record of the votes, for we
are not going to spoil the result Of our
long years Of toll by carelessness at
the last moment, and we believe that
our work on election day will largely
decide the issue. We have the rules
Of the special election carefully drawn
up and printed and now in the hands
of thousands of suffragists in the state,
but everywhere l go l find it is not
only necessary to talk about watching
at the polls, but also to keep the suf-
fragists informed of the tricks which
they may expect some elements Of the
opposition to woman suffrage to pla,
in the last weeks of the campaign.
ALREADY the enemies of suffrage III
Pennsylvania and New Jersey have
shown that there are no lengths to
which they will not go. No sooner did
President Wilson come out for suf-
frage than he was the recipient of
forged kilograms of protest, signed
with the names of some highly respect
ed citizens of New Jersey who deny
having sent them. In Pennsylvania
in the past two weeks women have
suffrage, but the characters of well
known supporters Of suffrage. The,
have disguised themselves as suffrage
workers. but fortunately have beef
discovered. In a number of campaigns
In recent years some of our enemies
have resorted to tricks s. mean as to
bribe the lowest type of women to go
down the main streets of the large
towns waving suffrage p~ennants.
Most important of all, perhaps 1t is
necessary to warn the public that all
suffrage literature recommends suf
frage only. l have received informa-
ton from some reliable sources that a
vast amount of fake suffrage litera-
ture has been prepared for distribu-
ton in our state. This SO called 'suf
frage' literature will recommend meas
ures of different kinds offensive to
the moral and law abiding voters
Of the state. 1t Is very difficult to
prevent its circulation, and all that We
can do is to inform the public that
suffrage literature recommends suf-
frage only and ask them to %scrutinize
with suspicion any literature distribute
ed as suffrage which recommends any
thing but equal suffrage"
Mrs. Colvin, whose husband and two
sons are almost as active as she is In
the work, has been specializing In the
election law and is said to know as
much about it as any lawyer in New
Jersey.
