"Our export and import trade has

people demand that it should be safe

SETON HALL GETS
WRIT TO REVIEW
TAX ASSESSMENT
u. S. Supreme Court Grants
Order in Case of South Or
ange Property.

William J. Kearns, counsel for
Seton Hall College, today received
from James d. Maher, clerk of the
United States Supreme Court, a let
ter informing him that Justice Pitney
had allowed writ of error in the
decision of the New Jersey Court of
Errors and Appeals sustaining tax
assessment levied on property owned
by the college by the Village uf
South Orange in 1911.
The assessment previously had been
sustained by the Essex County Board
of Taxation, the New Jersey State
Board for the Equalization of Taxes
and the New Jersey Supreme Court.
The United States Supreme Court will
issue the writ when Mr.. Kearns files a
bond of $500, to cover the cost Of pro-
ceedings in the highest court. This
bond Mr. Kearns will file Immediately.
The tax assessment, from which
Seton Hall Is claiming exemption,
was levied by the late Joseph Arnold,
at that time tax assessor for the vii
lage of South Orange, in 1911. The
property assessed Is on the north
side of South Orange avenue, across
the street from the college buildings
and campus. Mr.. Arnold assessed
the ground at $4,000 and the build
ings it contained at $500.
The appeal of the college to the
Supreme Court is based on de-
cision by the court In the famous
Dartmouth College case, in which
Daniel Webster appeared as counsel
for his alma mater. This decision
held that a charter ISSUED by State
to an educational institution was ir-
repealable unless the charter con-
tained provisions admitting to its re-
peal. The village of South Orange
holds that an act passed by the New
Jersey Legislature in. 1876 wipes out
the provision in the Seton Hall char
ter exempting property owned by the
college from taxation.
The college Immediately appealed to
the County Tax Board from the levy
ing of taxes on the property, on the
basis of this assessment. The appeal
was made by Mr. Kearns, who raised
this point among others: That the
college was Incorporated and its char
ter granted in 1861, and that in 1870
the charter was amended to exempt
all college property, real and personal,
from taxation The exemption was
made in accordance with the charter
of the Drew Theological Seminary, of
Madison, which was Incorporated in
1883 The Drew charter contains the
words, "and the property of said cor
poration, real and personal, ,shallbe ex-
empt from assessment and from tax
ation.' This section of the Drew
Seminary charter was extended by
the legislature of 1870 so that its pro-
visions embraced also property owned
by Seton Hall
Half dozen or more cases in which
the courts relieved educational,
charitable religious and other insti-
tutions from taxation were cited by
Mr.. Kearns in his appeals to the tax
boards and the courts of New Jersey
and also will be used in arguing the
case before the United States SUI
preme Court.

KINKEAD QUITS
AS CONGRESSMAN.
AS HE PROMISED
Resigns Upon Learning Immi-

Question His Vote.
HELD SEAT BY UNANIMOUS
CONSENT OF THE MEMBERS
Telegram from Burnett Caused
Him to Send Resignation
to Fielder.
Special to the Evening star.

JERSEY CITY. Feb. 4.--Congress-
man Eugene F. Kinkead today re-
signed his seat in Congress. The
resignation came after Mr.. Kinkead,
who is also sheriff of Hudson, had
been informed by Congressman John
L. Burnett, of Alabama, that he
would challenge Mr.. Kinkead's right
to vote. Mr.. Kinkead was about to
leave for Washington last night. It
was known he intended to vote ~
uphold President Wilson's veto of the
immigration bill. Just before he was
to leave, he received Congressman
Burnett's telegram. He Immediately
changed his mind about going to
Washington and instead sent his
resignation to Governor Fielder to
take effect Immediately. His term
would have ended March 4.
In explanation, Sheriff kinkead
gave out the following statement to-
day for publication:
when l was preparing to leave for
Washington last night to vote to up
hold the Presidents veto of the inn
migration bill I received a telegram
from Congressman Burnett, author Of
the measure, asking me If l intended
to vote, and If so he intended to
challenge my right. I recognized
from the beginning of the short ses-
sion that / retained my seat by
unanimous consent of the members,
and 1 stated that If that right were
questioned at any time l would re-
sign forthwith.
ITO say that I would abstain from
voting In this instance" Mr.. Kin
kead's statement continues, would
unquestionably enable me to serve out
the remainder of my term. But can
not in honor accept such a compro-
mise I have therefore rendered my
resignation to Governor Fielder to
take effect Immediately and have ac-
cordingly notified the speaker of the
House that this has been done.
81 believe that in taking this stand
my course will be satisfactory to the
people of the Eighth congressional
district"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Rein-
forcements for both sides in the SEN
ate fight over the administration
ship bill arrived today. but appar-
emily did not change the situation.
Senator Lewis. Democrat hurried
back from Asheville, ". c., but his
vote was offset by the arrival of Sem
ator Fall, Republican, of New Mex
leo. Senator Smith, of South Caro-
lima, Democrat, notified administra-
ton leaders he could not come be-
cause of the critical illness of his
wife.
The lines on a vote OF Senator
Clarke's motion to recommit the bill
without instructions and effectually
killing it for the session, were esti-
mated by leaders on both sides to
be so close that Vice President Mar
shall probably would cast the decid-
ing vote. When the Senate met at
noon both sides were maneuvering
for an advantage.
The revolving Democrats yesterday
fatty refused to accept the conces-
sions of the majority agreed upon IL
the secret caucus. and the ma
jority leaders discovered early in the
day that they could not muster
feat the coalition OF Republicans and
insurgent Democrats seeking to send
the bill to committee without instruc-
tions, to be p'geon-holed for the ses-
sion. Then the party leaders de-
termined to hold off the vote and
agreed in the meantime to castigate
openly the seven Democrats who
overturned the shipping bill program
last Monday.
Senator Stone. of Missouri, was
selected for this task and he deliver
ed long speech on the floor of the
Senate, bitterly arraigning the re-
creant Democrats who had endeavor-

ticularIy attacked Senator Clarke, If
Arkansas, whom he described as the
leader in the revolt, and Senator
Camden, of Kentucky, declaring they
had entered into secret agreement

that Senator Clarke had violated a
caucus pledge, a charge which the
Arkansas Senator denied in Wig

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--Germany
Today notified the state department
that American vessels should avoid
the north and west coasts of France.
The state department does not re-
gard the notice as formal declara-
ton of blockade by Germany of the
French coast. 1t is said that the
mere presence of German submarines
or the planting of German mines
would not constitute a blockade.
which, according to long established
principles of the state department.
requires the maintenance OF fleet
of warships sufficient to prevent any
intercourse with the blockaded port.
Therefore, the department regards
the notice as similar to one issued
by the British government and to
a preceding notice from the German
government regarding the waters OF
the North sea, both of which recited
that mines had been sown within
specified limits and that the waters
would be unsafe for passage of neu-
trail shipping except under pilotage.

TAX RATE Jump
AGAIN PREDICTED
BY THE MAYOR
Three Problems Face Admins
tration, Mr.. Raymond Tells
Clinton "iTIlers."

That the tax rate would take a
jump of twenty-one points during
the coming, year was again the claim
of Mayor Raymond during an address
at the annual dinner of the Clinton
Hill Improvement Association, held
last night at the Washington. He
outlined his plans for a new city
charter and gave his ideas for as
sistlng the unemployed. The City
Hospital and the police station cells
also came under the criticism OF MT
Raymond. The cells, he said, com
pared with "the dungeons OF Europe.
Taxes, the city charter and the un-
employed, declared the mayor, are
the three greatest problems which
face the administration.
The mayor attacked the political
bosses, who, he said, hampered and
blocked the earnest and energetic
movements for a good government.
He declared the bosses not only in
terfered with him, but with his ap-
pointees. He made an earnest plea
in behalf of women In civic life, ano
said that women should be repre-
sented in the municipal government.
He attacked the Common Council fof
rejecting the women he appointed TO
the Board of Health.
There were about 260 guests at the
dinner. Several young women from
the Clinton Hill section gave q series
of tableaux, representing Peace,
