OPPOSITION TO
PURCHASE PLAN
Scheme to Buy Wharton Tract
Is Opposed
FIELDER ASKS INFORMATION
Request From Governor Precipitates
Discussion-Doubt Whether South
ern Cities Would Make Use
of the Water Supply.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.)
Trenton.-The State Department OF
Conservation and Development con
sidered the proposed acquisition of the
Wharton tract of Ito, 900 acres in At
lantic, Burlington and Camden coun-
ties for a future water supply at a
meeting and considerable opposition
to the purchase developed. The vot-
ers of the State are to pass upon
the proposal to issue $1,000, 600 bonds
for the purchase and the matter came
before the board for discussion as the
result of a letter received from Gov
ernor Fielder asking detailed informa-
ton.
Edward S. Savage, president of the
board, expressed the opinion that the
question of either indorsing or oppos-
ing the purchase came within the jur-
isdiction OF the board. He said that
at present there is no necessity of
acquiring the tract and that its pur-
chase and maintenance will involve
an enormous expediture. There is no
assurance, he said that either Cam

advantage of the water supply that
the tract affords and that there are
no municipalities that would take the
water in sufficient quantities to war
rant the expense of developing the
tract.
The position was taken by other
members that the board is not in a
position to express any official judg-
ment concerning the ACCESSIBILITY of
buying the tract in view, of the fact
that it has not sufficient information
upon which to base such action. The
question of going on record as to in
dorsing or opposing the proposal was
laid over, but President Savage was
authorized to name three committees
to make Investigations. One is to
determine the legal status of the case,
another will ascertain the actual value
of the tract and the third will ascer-
tain the exact number of municipali-
ties that can be counted on to take
lhe water.

Growth of Anti-Liquor Feeling.

Two facts strikingly emphasized by
the primaries in the State were the
growth OF the anti-liquor movement as
a factor in politics and the effective
ness with which organizations can con-
troll nominations under the direct sys-
tenn. Local option will loom up as an
issue in both political conventions, and
unless all signs fail, it will precipitate
the biggest kind of a fight at the next
legislative session.
Organization victories, though not
necessarily those of the old political
machines, were the order of the day,
and where the machines did go down.
to defeat it was generally because
they were confronted by organizations
equal OF superior to their own. AS
instances of the case with which or
gained effort won out are the results
In Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Passaic,
Bergen and Hunterdon.
Although in Hudson the old Demo
cratic machine went to smash, this
was easily attributable to the fact thai
Naval Officer H. Otto Wittpenn had
been for years perfecting an organ
ization no less thorough and efficient
than that of the \old leaders. Witt
penn now occupies a foremost place
among the influential Democratic lead
ers, and there is more than a proba-
bility that he will take the field as a
candidate for Governor or the United
States Senate.
Nominations made by both parties
insure the presence of some agrees
sive and able leaders to urge the
cause of local option before the next
Legislature. Among the 120 candi-
dates nominated for the Assembly a
sufficient number are pledged or
known to be favorably inclined to-
ward local option to make a close
fight in the House. This may be &C.
cepted, regardless of which party pre-
walls at the election. Local option
lists are plentiful in both.

After a discussion of the accusa-
tons made at hearings of the State
Board of Medical Examiners which
was investigating the osteopathic sit
uation in the State, the State Board
of Education will undoubtedly cause
to be introduced a bill in the next
Legislature which will make it a mis-
demeanor, punishable by a three
months term of Imprisonment or a
fine of $500 or both, for any person
or institution to issue degrees with
out the consent of the State Board.
Under the law the State Board is
authorized to institute suit against
persons or institutions issuing degrees
without the consent of the State
Board, and a penalty of $500 is provid-
ed.
DIR. Van Dyke said hat such a fine
had no terror for such persons than
5000, 900, as they have 10 financial
responsibility.
The matter of drafting a bill to pro-
vide for the above penalty was re-

London.-An Athens dispatch to tn,
Havas Agency says:
Premier Venizelos has resigned, thu
King having informed him that he wal
unable to support the policy of hi:
Ministry"
This action followed a stormy ses
sion in the Chamber of Deputies in
which Venizelos vigorously defended
his policy in the face of a determined
opposition.
Another dispatch from Athens, de,
layed in transmission, says:
'The French troops landing from
the allied transports at Saloniki,
Greece, consist of 10000 men. They
will proceed along the GueYgheli-
Uskup Railroad to guard the line.
The Greek Minister here says the
troops have landed.
1t is taken for granted here that
King Ferdinand and his Ministers are
definitely committed to the Germanic
allies, and. in return for territory to
be coded after the war, some ports,
including Constantinople, and all that
remains of European Turkey, has I'M
dertaken to assist actively in the oper-
ations against Serbia.
Thus it is hoped to open the way
for the Austro-G German army, the OBJ
jective of which is the Sea of Mar
mora.
The Entente Powers, in this belief,
have landed or are landing a force at
Saloniki, which will take upon itself
the duty of protecting the main rail-
way through Serbia and Greece and
give what assistance it car to the
Balkan allies, should they be attacked
by Bulgaria.
This infringement of Greek neu-
trality has brought forth a formal pro-
test from the Greek Government, but
in the words of one correspondent, it
sis being winked at" by tn great ma
jority of the people of Greece.
The opposition in the Greek Cham
Der protested against the policy of
Venizelos, which it was claimed. was
forcing Greece into an Unnecessary
war. But the Premier succeeded in
getting the Chamber to pass a vote of
confidence after a stormy all-night ses-
sion. The King then interviewed and
Venizelos resigned.
A story generally current in Athens
and widely accepted as illustrating the
existing situation is that Premier Veni-
zelos at his conference with King Con-
stantine pleaded that the Serbian al
lance must be observed if for no other
reason than a means of defense
against Bulgaria.

Rockefeller institute at Work.

ROCkefeIier INSTITUTE at WORK.
Members of the staff of the recently
founded Rockefeller Institute for the
Study of Animal Diseases, which is
being built near Princeton, have al
ready commenced their work in a
suite of four rooms loaned by the
biology and geology Departments of
Princeton University.
The buildings of the institute, which
will cost in the neighborhood of ST.
600, 900 and which stand out On a tract
of over 480 acres, are already on the
way to completion and it is expected
that they will be ready for occupancy
this next spring.
DR.. blanchard has already started
work on a problem relating to the
mosquito, and DR.. Smith, director of
the institute, is in Princeton prepar-
ing things for his staff. Although
none of the institute instructors will
conduct courses in the university, it
is expected that they will give a
number of lectures in the college. 1t
is also probable that the Princeton
biologists will work in conjunction
with the institute men.

Expect 5000, 900 in State.

Salem is one of the three counties
in the State that will determine
whether New Jersey has a population
of 5000, 900, the total which was look
ed upon as the goal in this years
census taking.
Eighteen counties have had their
figures officially published, leaving
Salem, Hudson and Morris still to be
heard from. The number of persons
now residing in the eighteen counties
total approximately 100000 The
1910 census for Salem, Hudson and
Morris showed 638,934 persons. This
latter total added to that of the eigh-
teen counties makes 2,798, 934, OF more
than zoe. 900 short of the 1000, 900
mark.
Unless Hudson shows a great in
crease, it is not believed the desired
mark will be reached. Even should
Hudson show a gain of 100 900, Salem
and Morris could hardly make up the
deficit. The largest increase thus far
reported was in Essex, where the
population jumped 53,438.

viii Collect Poll Tax.

Will Collect Poll Tax.
All effort is to be made by Jer-
sey City authorities this year for
the first time to collect the 81 poll
tax that under the law may be col
lected from every male inhabitant of
that city. The city authorities have
been ordered to go out and collect
this poll tax this year, and it is prac-
tically certain that Commissioner
George F. Brensinger's collectors will
see to it that the mandate of the
County Board of Taxation is obeyed.
This will mean an additional rev.
enue to the city, it is estimated, of
approximately $50, 900, perhaps more,
because, contrary to the general no
ton that prevails, the poll tax will
lot only be collectable against citi-
zens, but also against every man OF
the municipality. Whether a man is
a citizen or not, he will be called
upon to pay 81 in taxes this year,
ed with interest.
Heretofore the law placing a poll
tax on every male inhabitant over
the age of twenty-one years has not
been taken seriously. No determined
attempt has ever been made to col
lect it. and it is only in the case of
owners of property that anyone ever
got a bill charging him with a poll
tax.
Naturally. property owners will be
very much pleased with the collection
of the tax because they have always
been disposed to believe that the man
who only pays an indirect tax in the
shape of rent or board should be com
PEELED to pay some reasonable tax for
the protection the government of the
city gives him, along with the eowner
of real estate.
Not only is the city to collect the
poll tax this year, but it is understood
that the other municipalities of the
county are also ordered by the coun-
ty board to do the same.
This will mean in the aggregate
probably an additional revenue to all
the municipalities of the county of
approximately $150,O00 in a year.
