NEWBURGER PAPERS
SURE TO Be FILED
Petitions May Be Turned In
To-day, Regardless of JUS
tees Decision.
HE CAN DECLINE LATER
May Run Against Untermyer
at Election Even If Not
in Primaries.

One OF the members Of the committee
OF the bar, which has ready petitions
designating Justice Joseph Z. Newburger
as a candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation to succeed himself on the Su-
preme Court bench, said last night they
would be filed with the Board OF Elec-
tons to-day or tomorrow. This step
will be taken regardless of whether or
not Justice Newburger may decide to
contest the nomination in the Democratic
primaries with Irwin Untermyer, the
thirty-three-year-ol son Of Samuel I'm
tsrmyer.
I'VE believe that Justice Newburger
owes II to himself and TO the bar to
make fight In the Democratic prirna-
ries," this lawyer said. but we intend to
file his petitions anyway In order to
show the sentiment that is back OF him.
He will have until August is to decline"
II Justice Newburger declines to run
against Mr.. Untermyer in the primaries
/. does not mean that he will not be a
candidate against him in the regular
campaign. Some of his friends are urg-
ing him to accept the Republican nomi-
nation and also be a candidate OF a
citizens committee.
william f. Schneider. County Clerk
and the head and front of the Cleveland
Democracy. who is talking Of five
borough anti-Tammany organization,
sent the following message to Justice
Newburger yesterday:
violation of the principle of freedom
and integrity OF the Supreme Court in
yolved in reusing you denomination Is
of greater moment to people of this
judicial department than is the injus-
tice you personally suffer.
prominent attorneys have called my
attention to the fact that several of the
Justices of the Supreme Court. whose
terms expire in 1920. may be as sum-
marily refused denomination. because. II
elected. they will be able to serve but
part of the fourteen year term. and
nominations in their stead will be given
to unknown favorites.
II am speaking for scores of men and
women deeply concerned as to the in
volatility of the courts in urging that
you. regardless of any personal inclina-
tons, allow your name to be designated
in the Democratic primary election for
the place you have SO long and ably
filed upon the Supreme Court"
Reference made by the County Clerk
was to Justice G. Marley Platzek,
Charles L. Guy and Leonard A. Giege-
rich, who if reelected next year. when
their terms expire, would have only four,
six and five years respectively before
reaching the age of 10. when they must
automatically retire. Others of the Su-
pr.me Court in this department whose
terms expire on December 81, 1919, are
Justices Peter A. Hendrick, John Ford
and Mitchell L. Erlanger. The former
will be So years old next July and II
reelected would have only eight years to
serve before involuntary retirement

DAYLIGHT REPEAL
PASSED BY SENATE
Vote of Al to IL Sufficient to
Override an Expected Presi-
Dental Veto.
Special pespatch TO TIVE srx.

WASHINGTON, Aug. by the vote Of
Al to IL the Senate this afternoon passed
the House bill for repeal Of the daylight
savings act
Previously Incorporated as a rider in
the agricultural appropriation measure,
which was promptly vetoed by the Pres
ident, this measure was introduced at
once as a separate bill and passed the
House. To-day the Senate, which some
days ago had made 1t unfinished bust
ness, took 1t up and despite the assur-
ance that the President would veto 1t
again. passed by an Overwhelming vote.
There was nothing suggestive of party
interest in the vote. Democrats freely
voted for the measure. while such Re-
publican stalwarts as Senators Lodge
(Mass.). Ellxins CIV. Va.) and Calder
On " voted against 1t. The Senate's
vote is strong enough easily to carry
the measure over a veto, but the House
failed to muster. two-thrds vote for
1t and 1t Is generally assumed that II
vetoed again the vote cannot be over
ridden.
Calder Opposed 1ill.
Senator Cummins Uowa). called up
the bill and urged its passage on the
ground that in operation daylight saw
ing had been a great embarra Ssment to
the agricultural communities disorganiz-
ing fixed hours of work. Mr.. Calder re-
piled that 1t had effected a great saving
of fuel and Mr.. Gronna IN. d., fatty
denied this, while insisting that 1t had
actually increased the number of hours
within the working day when artificial
light had to be used. He declared II had
cost the farming community from $780,
00O, 900 to s15,0oo,0o0 a day in lost time
of workers. In fact he couldn't see that
it had been useful to anybody except
few folks who want more hours to play
golf and the like"
Lodge Is Facetious.
Mr.. Lodge waxed facetious in his
spe ech against repeal. 81 am impressed
he said, that Senators who would plead
for having our time adjusted to the
| revolutions of the sun, have forgotten
| that we are living in the dawn of a new
day, of a day in which the old thing;
are no longer to be revered. a day ir
which human nature, weak and erring
is happily to be made over on idea
models. The sun, beg to remind Sena.
| tors, is now a back number, like George
Washington"
| With this little sarcasm, the Senator
| turned to the serious view of the issue
\ He believed the bill undertook to undo
I a use full measure of reform and economy
| For an urban and industrial community
such as his own, he was convinced day
light saving was altogether a goot
thing.

or not?
The question of cur unpreparedness
had less to do with the beginning OF
the war than the question Of what
nations would participate. Had GER
many ever dreamed that England
weuld side with Belgium, and that
Italy would violate the Triple ALL
ance between Austria, Germany and
Italy, and that the United States would
eventually side with the enemies OF
Germany, there would have been no
war.
The war formed two leagues Of ma
tions-those associating themselves
with the Central powers and those
who allied themselves against this
greedy, military power. The big
league whipped the lesser. What we
want now is a perpetual league OF
nations which will stick together, a
league composed of the stronger ma
| lions at least, SO that 1t will be known
/ in advance what may be expected If
any nation starts a war. None will
be started with such league in ex.
