Contributions to the Evening Stars
Free Ice Fund are already commenc-

two contributions of 50 each. This is
taken TO show that the general public
appreciates and supports the fund,
for ii is the number of these small
donations, rather than the total
amount, that proves the popularity Of
any movement.
Full consideration is being given to
the suggestion offered by Arthur w.

THAW BELIEVES
EVELYN WANTS
HIM IN ASYLUM
Reasons as Insane Man He
Cannot Cut Her Off, Alien
ist Testifies.

NEW YORK, June 30-Dr. Charles
x. Mills, of Philadelphia, witness
in the jury trial to test the sanity Of
Harry K Thaw, testified today that
Thaw believed that his wife, Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, wanted him kept in tho
Matteawan Asylum, so that as an
insane person he would be unable to
make a win cutting her off from his
fortune.
The question put by one of Thaw's
attorneys was said to have been
prompted by published article quot
ing Mrs. Thaw as being fearful for
the safety of her son. if her husband
should be released. Mrs Thaw, who
has been served with a subpoena. is
expected to reach here tomorrow ana
to testify as a witness for the State
next week.
"Thaw told me-" DR.. Mills said,
that his wife had motives in wanting
to keep him in Matteawan. He didn't
think she had anything against him
personally or was apprehensiYe for
her son, but thought she believed that
as long as he WAS I'm Matteawan he
could not make will cutting her off. +"

LAY PLANS TO
FIGHT TAYLOR
FOR COUNTY HEAD
nti-Dalrymple Men Meet and
Arrange for Chairman
ship Contest.

The Dalrymple and anti Dalrymple
forces will battle out a hot fight all
along the line up to primary day,
with every effort of each side being
put forth to capture the Essex Coun-
ty Republican Committee chairman
ship for either Herbert w. Taylor or
Harry y. O'Connell. That seems to
be a settled fact.
Last night score of anti Dalrym-
pie men assembled in the old Ray
mond headquarters on the seventh
floor of the Lawyers building to
plan their battle. A line of campaign
vas decided upon.
One intention that was emphasized
by every man at the meeting and
that was adopted as the first guiding
principle of the fight was that the
anti Dalrymple battle should not be
an affair dominated by small CEN
trail body.
I'VE don't want to have a small
central body down here telling the
people out in Irvlngton and Belleville
and the Oranges and all the other
districts whom they shall vote for.
We want those people to come down
and tell us whom they want to run,
and then when they have picked their
own men we'll get out and work for
them" was the way one member put
it.
The meeting was preceded on Mon
day by a statement by Assessment
Commissioner Harry b. O'Connell of
his acceptance of the call to battle
Herbert w. Taylor for the position
of county chairman. Mr.. Taylor now
holds that office and has been in
dorsed for reelection by the county
committee.
The anti Dalrymple men say they
are going after Mr.. Taylor right in
his own trenches. They expect to be
able to name a candidate who will
defeat the present chairman for re-
election as county committeeman.
which would. of course, smooth Mr.
O'Connell's path, as under the law
none but an elected county commit
teeman can be chairman of the coun-
ty committee.
The meeting did not give its atten-
ton exclusively to the county chair
man fight. The necessity of putting a
complete county ticket of strong men
in the field was advanced by repre-
sentatives of every section.

GERMAN SOCIALIST
PARTY ASKS PEACE
BIames Failure of Earlier Nego-
tiations on French and Bel
gian Comrades
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN (vla wireless to Sayville.
l.. -. June 30-The governing board
of the German Socialist party, in a
manifesto passed by the censor, to-
day called upon the German govern
ment Sin the name of humanity and
culture" to begin peace negotiations.
"The German Socialists expect that
their friends in other belligerent
countries will take the same stand, ;"
the statement continues.
The Socialist leader. Kolb, published
a pamphlet today calling upon the
Socialists to cease their fight on So
called German militarism." Kolb
declared that the war has given rise
to new conditions, and that the
Socialists should realize that national
unity demands that they cease their
attacks upon the military system.
The manifesto made public today
amplified the statement recently
published - the newspaper Vor-
waerts. 1t placed the blame for
the failure of earlier peace efforts on
the French and Belgian Socialists.

QUESTION LONG IN DISPUTE
Historians Unable to Agree as to the
Religious Belief Of Christie
pher Columbus.

All that is claimed by the most
radical historian is that Columbus
was of Jewish descent. This theory
is based on the following facts: Co
lumbus was the son Of Domenico
Colombo, cloth weaver of Genoa,
and Susanna Fontanarossa. Those
historians who put forward the sug-
gestion that Columbus was Of Jew
ish descent claim that he was born
in Pontevedra, Spain, and not in
Genoa. Documents are in existence
showing that one Colon and one
Fontanarossa formed a partnership
in the former town in 1437 for the
purpose Of purveying fish to the
archbishop of Santiago. The fsmi-
lies of both partners we're of jew
ish descent. 1t is assumed that this
Colon was the father of the discov-
erer and that Susanna Fontanarossa,
or Fonterosa, who became the mother
of Christopher, was a member of his
partners family. The Colon family,
though of Jewish blood, adhered to
the Christian faith. But it is be-
lieved that at the time of her mar
riage Susanna Fontanarossa had
only recently abandoned Judaism for
Christianity. Admitting the iden-
tity of the Spanish family Of Colon
with that of the Genoese Colons or
Colombos, there would seem TO be
ground for the allegation that the
discoyerer o. the new world was of
the Jewish race.
On the other hand, Columbus
wrote like the most pious and devout
of Christians. He urged that mis-
sionaries be sent to the natives of
the lands he had discovered. And
in his will be makes the statement,

statement, however, nine other local.
tiles in Italy, Corsica and Spain dis
pute the claim Of the Genoese nativ

is getting what it has a right to ex-
pect in the way Of road Improvement.
1t is we'll to remember that IL for any
reason an incompetent man is placed
in charge of the work the response
bility for failure rests upon the com
munity. There should be no other
consideration, therefore, in selecting
road oyerseer than that Of securing a
man with the ability to perform the
duties required It should be realized
that good roads have much to do with
the prosperity of community and
that united action in the right direc-
ton is the surest and quickest way to
secure them.
