0KUMA QUITS POST
AS JAPANESE PREMIER
Lack of Complete Support by
Coalition Colleagues Believed
Cause of Resignation

TOXIC. Oct s.-The Cabinet headed by
Marquis okuma resigned today.
The Emperor had accepted the resigna-
tion of Home Minister Oura. whose with.
drawal resulted from charges of bribery
and the Premier and the others Immediately
offered to step down. The Emperor sum-
moned the Elder Statesmen into confer
ence and afterward Okuma was urged to
remain.
WASHINGTON, oct. 2.--Pers stent oppo-
sition of the Japanese upper nonelective
House of Parliament to the policies of Pre-
mer Okuma is responsible for his resigna-
tion, news of which was cabled from Toxic
today. This is the belief of the embassy
here.
Okuma's party controlled the majority of
the lower house. but coalition of other
parties in the upper house was formed
against him. 1t is sad Okuma has for
some weeks felt unable to continue the
Government and face the upper house when
II convenes in December,
Count Okuma is seventy-nine years old
and has been Premier for two and a half
years. 1t is considered likely that his ad'
vanced years have something to do with
his desire to retire.

BIG PLAYS FOR
The STRAND

Philip PAPER of Hildinger and
PAPER owners of Lambertville
Strand Theatre was a recent visitor
to New York city n search o the
bigger sort of feature productions
for their string of houses and re-
ports that the coming pictures will
be more elaborate and spectacular
than ever, and the Fall and Winter
supply of pictures promises to be the
choicest that ever graced the screen
in motion picture theatres. Several
new companies have been formed
notably the Clara Kimball Corpora
ton, featuring the fair Clara to-
gether with Mary Garden, the grand
opera Star, Nine Nazimona and sew
eral other notabilities. The Aircraft
Company is also new concern and
it will serve to introduce the charm
ing Mary Pickford.
But the fact that stands out with
the greatest of prominence is the
increased cost of these super attrac-
tons. While $4,000 was the aver
age price of the producing of the
Clara Kimball Young pictures when
Miss Young was World Film star,
the Corporation claims they have
spent 100000 or ten times as much
on their first release The Common
Law" by Robert w. Chambers. A
like case is cited with Mary Pickford
as the eight reel production of Less
than the Dust" which will cost as
much if not more.
Naturally the increased N ia |
price of h csc tremendous shows
will cause slight rise in the adj
mission price to the theatres when
the shows are presented and Csc,
SOC and 75c tariffs will be the vogue
in the larger cities. However pat
rons of the Strand in Lambertville
need not fear a rise in prices as the
10c admission will remain as before
except in cases when these massive
shows are booked. Still the manage
ment feels the patrons of the Strand
would like to see the out of the or
binary shows and if zoe admission
is announced for the Clara Kimball
Young and Mary Pickford features
it will not come as surprise.
The Paramount, Fox, Blue Bird,
and Metro Pictures will be shown as
usual at the 10c prices but the mas
sive New York successes are compel
led to command an increase.

CANDIDATES FOR
CITY COMMISSION

Prospective candidates for COM
mission government are lining up
in Lambertville, and it now looks
as though there would be a dozen or
more by the time the petitions
close, October Ia.
Andrew Foltz, present council
man from the Third Ward, and pre-
siding officer of that body, was the
first to announce officially his stand.
He states that he will continne
granting licenses if elected.
DR.. Theodore BaIderston, of the
Second Ward, announced his candi-
dacy yesterday, and takes the same
stand upon the license question that
Mr.. Foltz does.
Former Mayor Samuel E. Morse
says he will be a candidate, and ex-
poets to state his position within a
few days.
Mayor William j. Ledger is said
to be a candidate, but has not yet
stated his position, although sup
posed to favor license.
Former President of Council
Charles F. Holcombe, from the
Third Ward, has been urged to be
a candidate, by some of his friends,
but has not yet positively decided.
City Treasurer Judson L. Fields
is another mentioned favorably by
his friends; and the names of City
Auditor John A. Malloy, former
Postmaster James D. MacKay,
Charles Mathews, Robert H. Dilts,
are among a dozen more sugges-
tions.
So far no no-license candidates
have appeared. 1t seems to be the
impression that the majority of the
people of the city are in favor of
continuing liquor licenses, but
whether or not they are could best
be shown by a straight yes or no
vote on the question.

CITY COUNCILS
CLOSING SESSION

The last regular meeting of the
Lambertville city council since its
inception as a town in 1919, and as
city nearly half a century ago,
was held Monday night, and if it
had not been for an attempt to raise
Policeman Huselton's salary, and a
communication from William Bce,
it would have gone down into his
tory as the quietest meeting ever
held.
Councilman R uss e | A. Pedrick,
from the Third Ward, moved that
Huselton's salary, as night police,
be increased from $50 to $40 per
month, he to continue private night
watching on the side, as at present,
This did appear to appeal to the
other members, so a new motion
to increase to $50 per month for ex-
elusive service was made, and finally
lost by vote of 5 20 8, Messrs.
Foltz, Meginnes, Oblinger, Wood
ward and Banchoff voting againet,
and Messrs. Pedrick, Holcombe and
Mongon for the increase. 1t was
deemed best to allow the matter to
go over for the new commissioners
to handle. During the discussion
Mr.. Oblinger said that Mr.. Pedrick
told an untruth, when he stated that
no complaints had been received
against the police.
William Bice, of Delevan street,
whose wife S had considerable
trouble with the neighbors and with
the authorities, at various times,
sent four page letter to conncil
1t was read amid the tears of laugh
ter from the councilmen, and the
whoops of joy from the audience.
It named various neighbors who
were alleged to have made life any

thing but joy; it said that Council
man Pedrick had stuck his dirty
fist" under Mrs. Bice's nose, and
this brought out questions from the
crowd as to why he didn't wash it,
none enjoying the fun more than
Councilman Pedrick himself. Mayor
Ledger was charged with telling the
Bice son that he must have swallow
ed fishhooks, and an appeal was
made to President Foltz, of council,
as the big man of the town., which
caused some of the audience to say
Andrews the boy" The matter
was finally referred to the waste
basket committee, after first being
rendered to Messrs. Foltz and
Pedrick.
York street hill is to be repaired,
and some work done on Cottage
Hill, both being restricted to the
amount of money available.
The garbage collector was author
lied to have the dump, which is in
West Amwell township, properly
leveled and covered with disinfect-
ing material, at the expense of the
city; or else the township author
tiles would prevent it's use.
Tax Collector Mellick reported
81 ,571.90 collected in September
and turned over to the city treas
urer. He also complained about the
manner in which the assessors
books are kept, and branded the
present system as rotten" He
said that many bills were found in
the desk, never having been sent
out.
Slight changes in the design of
the Warman memorial drinking
fountain were authorized, in order
to comply with the attorneys re-
quest.
The usual number of routine
bills and small matters were con-
sidered.

A GOOD SERVICE

II. R. Bell, owner of the autobus
line which has been running for some
time, is now giving it his personal
attention, and will put into effect a

meet with both Central and Valley
trains eastward and westward. The

East and West. The 7.20 trip will
continue beyond Ringoes to Flem-
ington whenever there are passen-
gers for the latter place.
Returning. a trip will b made
fir o m Ringoes 7.20, % connect
with trains and trolleys; the 8 a. M. ,
trip out of Pennington will connect
from both railroads; the II a. m. trip
connects from both railroads; the
$50 and $50 p, m. trips make con-
nections from both roads.
Under this new arrangement of
schedule person can go to Clinton,
Somerville, or other points, in the
morning and return in the evening.
A business trip can even be made in
the afternoon and return, something
that has never before been possible
since 1.-THE time when mans memory
runneth not. q"
Leaving Lambertville t h e Bell
cars will await a reasonable number
of minutes for delayed trains or
trolleys, from which each one con-
meets, but not enough to prevent
making other connections at f lem
ington. Connecting trains at Elem
ington will also be awaited.
