VARE PRAISES SPROUL
FORCHARTERCHANGE
Amendments Written in Wood
ward Bill Nearing Final Pas
sage Please Senator
OPPOSITION IS DENIED

Governor Sproul is praised by Sen
ator Ware for amendments written into
the Woodward charter bill, new near
ing final passage in the Legislature.
In statement made public today
Senator Ware thus explains his position
on the bill:
"There was no foundation in fact for
the printed statements in the newspapers
that either my friends or ! held up the
charter bill in the Senate last week. II
was held up there by w. Harry Baker,
the chief clerk Of the Senate, when he
found that there were certain necessary
corrections to be made before 1t could be
finally passed and sent to the Governor.
''Our position since last January has
been that we would help pass bill that
met with the approval Of the Governor :
having full confidence in mis- business ex-
pcrience to see that the bill would be fair
to our taxpayers. With his splendid
training in this respect he was able to
detect, the factional, expensive and alb
solutely useless provisions in the orig
inal bill as prepared by the revisionists.
For these services on the part of the
Governor the taxpayers of this city are
under lasting obligation. The Governor
with his keen sense of propriety separ-
ated the control of the recreation CEN
ters and Fairgrounds from that depart
ment that controls the paupers and the
insane as originally provided in the BILL
He preserved for the people the right to
choose their own receiver of taxes in
stead Of this officer being appointed by
the city treasurer, as originally provided
in the bill. He at once saw that the re-
visionists had increased their original
number of councilmen from twenty one
to twenty seven for purely factional ad :.
vantage, Notwithstanding the fact that
this increase would cost the city $50 900
each year for many years to come. He
reduced the number to twenty one.
''The revisionists' bill as originally
presented placed the city treasury at the
mercy of the mandamus evil on gi-
gantic scale, for the Commission on City
Planning was given power to employ
engineers and other employees without
limitation as to number, councils had no
control to protect the taxpayers and the
city treasury would have been compelled
to honor mandamuses issued by this
commission in an unlimited amount
The same was true of the provisions in
the original bill as to the art jury and
the Civil Service Commission. The
original bill provided for one Civil
Service Commissioner with a power to
appoint thousand or more employees

HOME0PATHS MEET
AT ASBURY PARK
18th Annual Convention Holds
Memorial Service-War
Featuring Program

Asbury Park, n. j., June 16.-As-
sembled for the seventy fifth annual
convention of the American Institute of
Homeopathy, several hundred of the
best known practitioner disciples of
Hahnemann last night paid tribute to
the memory of their brothers who died
within the last twelve months.
The memorial service was an impress
sive one. Sixty nine homeopathic ply
sicians died during the year. The
neorologist. DR.. G. Forrest Martin, OF
Lowell, Mass, read the list. DR.. Jo-
seph H. Bryan, of Asbury Park, pre-
sided. The memorial address was
made by Charles F. Adams, of Hacken-
sack. n. J. ,
Dietetics will be largely considered
at the convention. 1t is the belief that
war foods will be continued and will
have a growing usefulness. Sanitary
science, which did so much to keep the
soldiers of the nation in health in
crowded camps, is to have its place in
everyday life if the physicians can have
their way, and series of papers on
this subject are to be read.

Mike.was a performing white rat. and
he belonged to George f. Nitzsche, re-

he was for some strange reason living

RAN TRAIN, THEN FELL DEAD
Engineer on Shore Line Dies After
Completing Journey

Sheperd Lang, engineer on the Penn
sylyania Railroad, was taken seriously
i'll while running his train from Camden
TO the shore yesterday. but grimly re-
mained at his post. His faithfulness
had death as its toll.
Lang stayed in the cab until he had
run the locomotive into the round
house, and as he stepped to the ground
fell unconscious. A physician arrived
within a few minutes, but Lang was
dead.
The fireman said that Lang had not
complained during the trip, and that he
did not know that he was i'll until they
reached the rOundhouse. Lang lived
at 421 South Seventh street, Camden,
and was one of the veterans of the
service. The diagnosis showed that he
was a victim of heart disease.

And now, Caspar is lord of all he sur
veys in Mr.. Nitzsche's office. He ekes
out living on the rolltop desk in the
Office on the third floor of the Houston
Club, Thirty -fihh and Spruce streets.
His bed is pigeonhole.
Caspar may be viewed any morning
devouring copies of college catalogues.
He has wide range of taste and his
diet doesn't end with college catalogues.
Miss Jessie Clifton, the recorder s
stenographer, never neglects to bring
Caspar every day slice of bread and
a cold potato.
Caspar, in spite of the fact that he is
hardly two years old, is growing near

mander of the Volunteers, has announced
that the fifth annual fresh air camp at
the park would be formally opened on

Colonel Heron appealed for aid in
carrying on the work. What will you
give" he asks, "to let these little ones
have the time of their lives amid sun
shine, flowers and bird song, lots of
sparkling water, swings, merry go =
round, moving pictures and, best of all
good eats a plenty?" Last year, said
Colonel Heron, one ragged bit of child
hood after day in camp, joyfully ex-
claimed: ''I never knew there was
such a cool place in the world"
