SUNDAY SCHOOLS
PARADE ON JUNE 5
There viii be a Continuation of
the Pageant This Year, First
Since the 1913 Event.

There will be a continuation of
the annual Sunday school parade
custom this year, despite its being
abandoned last year following four
previous successful pageants in 1910,
1911, 1912 and 1913, according to
present indications. concerted
effort is being made by influential
men of several Sunday schools to re-
establish the yearly demonstration
of Sunday school pupils in large
parade through the principal streets
Those who are working for the re-
viving OF the custom are pleased
with the prospects and hope to ar
range for one of the old, genuine
Sunday school parade professions
that formerly evoked SO much enthu-
siasm and delight among the men,
bers of the Sunday schools of the
city. The event will likely be set
for June S, as it is planned to hold
it before the public school term ends
for the summer vacation.
There was no parade last year for
the first time since the custom was
inaugurated in 1910, after such year
ly demonstrations had been started
by the Sunday schools of many of the
larger cities Of the country.
There were more than 2,00O
marchers in the parade held June IA,
1913, and more than 10000 Witness
ed the big demonstration. Last year,
however, the enthusiasm of some of
the Sunday schools had waned, and
the Union Sunday School Parade
Committee. after discussing the ad-
visibility of holding the customary
pageant, decided to cancel it for
1914.
This year, however, renewed en-
thusiasm has been awakened and
pupils from nearly every Sunday
school have already begun to eagerly
anticipate the revival Of the custom,
which was inaugurated here through
the efforts of Ira j. Bacon, of 124
Rector street.
Members working for the return
of the custom believe that it gives
certain inspiration to the children
who have always taken great pride
in the selection of costumes, the
decorating and making of floats, and
shown keen interest in the competi-
ton for the distinction of having the
most prettiIy embellished float, the
cleverest allegorical representation,
or the most unique costumes. They
also believe that the parade always
demonstrates the big membership Of
the different Sunday schools, and
their far-reaching effect in the cause
of righteousness
The first definite move toward this

PROCLAMATION ON
SPECIAL SESSION
Session Providing for New Act
for Special Election Upon
Constitutional Amendments.
,ectu. to the EVENING NEWS.

Special TO tHe EF6NiNo Z W ..
Trenton, April 29.-Goyernor
Fielder today issued a proclamation
calling the legislature to convene
in special session next Monday at
noon to pass new act providing for
a special session ext Monday at noon
TO pass a new act providing for a
special election upon the constitu-
tionaI amendments. The proclama-
ton is based upon the opinion of
the attorney general that grave
doubt exists as to whether valid
election can be held under the act
ALREADY passed by the legislature.
Governor Fielder said he had re-
auested the attorney genertl to draw
a new bill and that special care
would be taken to guard against
further errors
TIE proclamation is as follows:
"Whereas certain proposed amend
ment to the constitution of this state
have been agreed to by two success
siye legislatives and should be sub
mitted to the people at special
election. and whereas, as at the last
session of the legislature bill was
passed providing for such special
election. which bill is known as
chapter three hundred and eightyfive
of the laws of one thousand nine
hundred and fifteen and the attor-
ney general having advised the secre-
tary of state that grave doubt exists
as to whether valid election can be
held Hereunder and that said act
appears to be practically unworka-
bic and that an attempt to act under
If would give rise to uncertainty and
for litigation, and
whereas in my opinions public neces-
sity requires the convening OF the
legislature in special session to cor
rect such defects by proper legisla-
tion under which the expressed pur-
pose of two successive legislatures
may not be defeated at which spe-
cial session no other subjects need
be considered; therefore, I, James F
Fielder. governor of the state OF New
Jersey, by virtue of the powers vest
cd in me by the constitution do con-
vene the legislature of this state.
hereby requiring the senate and the
members of the general assembly to
meet In their respective chambers at
the State House in the city OF Tren-
ton, on Monday, the third day Of
May, instant, at II o'clock noon.

RECORD SESSION IN
CITY POLICE COURT
Cases of interesting Nature to
Many Cause Overflow at
Court Room Last Night.
MRS. MAC FARLANE HELD
Grand Jury 10 investigate
Charges Against Mother of
Seventeen Children.

Between 400 and 500 persons
crowded the little court room at DO
lice headquarters, filled the lobby
and crowded about the doors
when three cases of unusual
interest were heard by Recorder
Pickersgill last night On complaint
OF George s. Walker, editor of a To-
cal weekly, William ]. Doyle and
Arthur Schroeder, members of the
Central Labor Union, were placed
under 5000 bail each to await the
action OF the grand jury on charge
OF assault and battery. Ida MacFar-
lane, of Paterson street, wife Of
Douglas MacFarlane, and Mrs. Kath-
crime Rango, of South Amboy, were
locked UP in default of bonds for
the grand jury, the former for de-
serting an infant and the latter for
alleged larceny. Samuel Borak, of
Smith street, was convicted on a
technical disorderly charge and SEN
ltence was suspended.
George s. Walker testified that
Doyle ran into him in Emil Bohn-
sacks saloon in Smith street Satur-
day night and then asked Walker
what he had run into him for, and
then struck Walker. Walker said
he tried to protect himself and there
was tussle between him and Doyle.
He said that Schroeder then jumped
on his back, and was pulled from
him by a young man. He said that
he and Doyle went to the floor in a
clinch, with Doyle on top. Walker
acknowledged that he and the Cen
trail Labor Union men were not on
the best of terms following certain
articles appearing In his paper. Ar
thur L. Borland, an employe OF Wal
ker, testified that he had struck
Schroeder two or three times in try
ing to get him away from Walker,
after seeing both Doyle and
Schroeder on Walker. Thomas
Brown, representing the Central La
Dor Union men, did not present any
testimony as he said that technically
IL would be improper in the record

HIS STATEMENT
Firm on Figures Given in
Statement When He Vetoed
Park Resolution on Monday.
ANSWERS JOHN J. CLARK
MIR. Garretson Says He Did Not
Quote Indebtedness in His
Statement Monday Night.
ANSWERS JOHN ]. CLARK

Despite the action of the Board of
Aldermen Monday night in ordering
the purchase of the former Merritt
tract and statements since made by
Democratic aldermen, Mayor Ferd
Garretson repeated today that in his
Judgment the purchase should not be
made at this time. In reply to
Alderman John ]. Clark's statement
on city finances, made yesterday, Mr.
Garretson said he stood behind his
statement rendered to the council
Monday night. He declared that the
statement had been prepared with
care and the figures in it had been
verified. The executive stated that
1t was not his intention of creating
any false impression concerning the
city's financial condition, but to en-
deavor to show the situation with
reference to the amount of bonds to
be issued this year.
Mr.. Garretsou says he did not
quote the indebtedness Of the city In
his statement Monday night. He de-
clared that the point he wished to
convey was that bonds to the aggre-
gate amount of more than half a
million dollars would have to be
issued this year and he doubted that
the city would find ready buyers for
so large an amount Whether or not
street improvement bonds to the
amount of $125,000 and sewer con-
struct1on bonds to the amount of
100000 had been added to the city e
Indebtedness last year or would be
added this year, mattered little in
the argument he presented. He was
In favor of keeping the bonded in
debtedness down and allow a good
margin between the debt and the
limit prescribed by law well enough,
but the point he wished to convey at
this particular time was that bonds
for so many things, which aggregat-
ed SO much money, would have to be
issued. He doubted that bonds
would be easily disposed of after the
half million mark had been reached,
and he concluded that 1t would be
unwise, if not unsafe, to add to the
amount further with tb0. 0.purehase Of
| tween
state laws, as quoted by Mr.. Clark tt
be about 100000, Mayor GarretsoI
said he doubted that the bond mar
ket would allow the limit to be
reached. On the other hand he
maintained the city should proceed
carefully with the issuing of bonds

Syracuse, N. Y, April 29:-A
bomb was thrown into New York and
possibly national politics today in
the Barnes-Roosevelt libel trial. A
proposal by Governor Whitman for
an alliance of New York Progressives
and Progressive Republicans to rid
the state of machine government was
the coup sprung by the Roosevelt
side. The colonel said he read the
letter written last fall when Whit
man was district attorney, and re-
lied ON it in attacking Barnes during
the 1914 primaries, although neither
Barnes nor Murphy are specifically
mentioned in the letter.
Roosevelt's testimony was con-
cluded at 1915. 1t was the eighth
day he had been on the stand and
when excused he had been under ex-
animation for thirty-eight hours and
fifteen minutes. Before springfng
the Whitman letter the colonel gave a
dramatic recital of how he approved
acquisition by the steel trust of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company to
stop the 1907 panic. He also told
how he had prosecuted big corpora
tions despite contributions to presi-
Dental campaign funds. The WHIT
man letter was written February IA,
1914, to Charles II. Duell, Jr., of
New York, and was shown to Roose-
welt last May upon his return from

NINE. JOHANNA GADSKI.

tory OF lHlS city VIII DC TIC appear
ance of Nine Johanna Gadski, prima
donna soprano Of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, and the greatest
living Wagerian interpreter, with
the Minneapolis Symphony Orches-
ira on next Friday evening. Thurs
day in St. Paul
None of the foreign celebrities
who have come to America have
ever been able to win such a warm
place in the affections of our people
as this refined, cultured, gifted wo-
man.
Nine. Gadski's voice has won for
her enduring fame in the realms of
art Her beautiful womanly quail
tiles have also won for her an equal
1y high regard among all those who
have been fortunate enough to come
within the touch of her wonderful
personality. A few evenings ago, in
one of the concerts, more than three
hundred college girls were seated
together directly in front of the
singer, and it proved exceedingly
interesting from a psychological
stand point to see the effect which
those bright, fresh, young faces had
upon the singer, and the effect which
the singers personality, as we'll as
her art, had upon those college girls.
One could almost see the invisible
links which each moment was bind
ing them closer together, and never
has the tone quality of Gadski's
voice seemed more irresistible than
on that occasion. Had one stepped
back Of the stage and seen Nine.
Gadski's own daughter, Lotto, al
most an exact replica Of her illus
trious Mother, and just of the same
age as the majority Of those college
girls, and could have seen her there,
standing alone, intently following
her Mothers every note and tone,
one could readily have understood
just why that audience of college
girls was such an inspiration to the
great prima donna and the great
hearted woman, who was singing to
them and for them. And, perhaps,
this may account for that wonder
full Gadski tone quality, tone in
which there is not the slightest
trace Of harshness nor acidity. She
is happily, healthy, normal woman
whose home life with her husband
and daughter is ideal. She is inten-
sely interested in young women and
in all that pertains to their wei
fare
When you go to hear Gadski next
