In view of the different reports
circulated concerning the action taken
by the Newark Trades and Labor AS
sembly on the gas question, the un-
dersigned Legislative Committee was
instructed by said Assembly at the
last regular meeting, to publish
statement Of facts in reference to the
matter, which are as follows:
After hearing statement of the
gas question by representatives. of the
company and members of the city
council who were invited to be present
and present their respective views at
a special meeting called for that pur-
pose, the Assembly voted that in case
the city council should decide to
change the rates in the existing con-
tract that the section of the ordi-
nance relating to rates only be amend
ed, and that the contract be not other
wise changed.
In view of the controversy that
arose over the question of the change
in rates, the Assembly, at a subse-
quent meeting, decided that inasmuch
as the Assembly had received the
report that the question had assumed
a political aspect it's Legislative Com
mittee was unanimously instructed to
maintain a policy of "hands off," and
such instructions have been implicitly
obeyed.
Respectfully submitted,

most efficient and popular men in
this great Organization is attested by
the fact that he has held this i'm
portant office continuously ever since
the organization was effected.
There are thirty-five local lodges
in the district, and nearly 1000 votes
were cast; quite a number of locals
failed to send in their returns in time
for the official count or the total
would have been much larger. A
spirited contest developed among the
candidates for several of the offices,
and the result in some instances was
close. The following officers were
chosen for the ensuing year:

AS LITERATURE IS "MADE''
kIpIIno Manuscript Shows Author Poe.
sessed Of at Least One Great
[ Quality Of Genius.

! There turned up. the other day, in
d sale Of manuscripts particularly
interesting specimen Of literature in
the making. Mr.. Rudyard Kipling sent
1t in typewriter copy to the editor
of the National Observer, Mr. Henley,
and 1t appeared under the title "Tom-
llnson" in January, 1892; but between
the coming Of the typewriter sheets
and the appearance Of the printed
poem good many things happened
to the manuscript, some due to the
author and some to the editor. One
imagines Mr.. Henley editing Mr.. Kip
ling, a situation which the author an
ticipated, for against certain lines he
had written admonitions and dire
threats. although there is no evidence
to show whether Mr.. Henley let the
lines stand because he liked them or
because he was terrified. In another
item in the same sale one sees that
Mr.. Kipling first wrote the poem
Cleared" in the character Of an Irish
man, but when he saw 1t in proof he
altered the phonetic spelling. Which
indicates, incidentally, the capacity for
taking pains which is an important
factor In successful authorship, even

Monumental "Toppers."

Though there is revival Of the silk
hat, which many people thought the
war had made extinct as a species of
headdress, few would argue that it
makes a fit subject for the sculptor.
Yet there are several top-hatted
statues about. One at least IS in the
United States. 1t is statue Of Presi-
dent Lincoln. He is bareheaded, but
his topper" very questionable
specimen, is carefully laid on the seat
at his side. But perhaps the funniest
specimen is in the Central square at
Glasgow, Scotland. 1t represents re-
spected citizen, James Oswald, men,
Der of parliament. and he carries his
topper" in his right hand, held firm
" by the brim and upside down. The
street urchins find this topper ire
sistible. If the policeman is round the
corner they play pitching pebbles into
Mr.. Oswald's hat. Some Of them are
expert ut the game and the hat has
to be emptied Of stones quite fire.

"BABY" AlRPLANES FLY FAST
Planes That Can Make Ninety-Sfx
Miles an Hour Are Now in Use in
Europe.

Just as the era of adult automobiles
was followed by the creation Of baby
motorcars, so now in the aerial world
there is an influx Of baby airplanes.
In the park, In the fields and in vari.
GUS other open spaces miniature air
craft are having tryouts all over Eng
land.
One Of these midgets, called the
"British Crow" weighs 22O pounds,
and flies with almost the speed of a
fulI-grown airplane. Another baby,
called "the pocket airplane," is so
small that man can span its wings.
1t is 16 feet long, and the inventor,
Austin Whipple, says it will achieve
q speed of 96 miles an hour. A fea-
ture of this baby is that it can be
folded for transport and carried in
side trunk.
The French are also dabbling in ILL
puttan aircraft. An infant monoplane
IL turned out by q French firm at Gar
say with 4 span Of trifle more than
10 feet, thus being two feet smaller
than the British Crow" Fitted with
a ten horsepower ABC engine, it has
a speed of G. miles an hour, and can
land at the low speed of 20 miles an
hour. The average retail price Of
these little brothers Of the Capronis,
Handley Pages and Why's is from ST.
600 to $1,000.

EIGHT Thousand Swiss.

Only 5000 Swiss soldiers fought in
the war. That number entered the
French service.
But that is not the whole story. Out
Of the 5000, 800 survived, including
many wounded. The rest. 100. were
killed. A thousand Of them held up
a German advance one day at Verdun;
held it up until the last man of them
was killed.
About so years ago the story of VIII
liam Tell and the poem about Arnold
Won Winkelried were in most or the
school readers that young Americans
cut their eye teeth on.

war we'll established the right of that
story and that poem to remain in

Old nan Bitter conducted a furni-

Bitter, like many others Of his race,
liked his beer. so one day between
customers ne stepped into the barber
shop, and while waiting his turn de-
cIded he would have time to enter a
saloon next door and have a glass Of
beer. On returning to the barber
shop he was much vexed to find his
turn taken by another, and after few
yruff remarks said to the barber:

away back in, is he out?"

MADE SURE OF

z (Continued from Page One.) 4 For this reason they determined to get rid of him and to turn him over ttp the English. This is no novel idea 7. on the part of the Germans or other -fnations either when dealing with 2 men whose usefulness has come to < an end. More than one German z secret agent has fallen into the hands Z of the English or the French because $ his government carefully gave the tip as to where he could be found. ] An easy way to avoid trouble.
 ( When it came time for the Ger ], mans to rid themselves of Sir Roger ( Easement he was told that the hour Z of invasion had come, that Germany < was ready to set out flor Ireland and S she wanted to make sure that a ris- E1ng in Ireland would occur at once. z No Choice But To Go.
 . Therefore without any ifs, ands or gbuts about the matter, Sir Roger was z informed that he was to leave Ger many at such and such an hour. His Iconsent was not asked nor his advice For suggestions wanted. He was sim fply to go. There was no choice for z .s5rhim but compliance or suicide. { Easement this time was not fooled -by the German promises. He req 1ized that no German invasion or Ireland was planned. He knew that z not a German soldier would set foot ! in Ireland. Any attempt on his part
  man promises of support, would only lead to slaughter. Therefore he de- termined to see the thing through, Sbut planned, the moment he landed | in Ireland, to expose to the Irish { leaders the folly of trusting to the 4 German promises. Instead of lead ing any uprising, he determined to prevent one at any cost.
 Going To His Doom.
 It was in this frame of mine that {. he prepared to obey the German ! surs.mons. Just before he was due , to go a friend in the foreign office Stoid him the ghastly truth, that he was going to his doom.
 He was sent to Ireland in a Ger t,1nan submarine and with two com Hpanions put ashore in collaps1ole boat. Hardly had he stepped on Irish soil than his arrest followed.
 Although to most people his con viction for treason might seem ainply assured, it is nevertheless fact that virtually no evidence was at hand upon which to convict him. It IS one thing to give reasons and theor- ies for a mans guilt but quite an other to produce cold, legal evidence which will stand the test of the law
 But evidence to convict Easement was forthcoming. And, strangely enough, the German government again proved help in time Of need as will be shown later.
 DO you doubt that Sir Roger Case 7nent was betrayed to the English by the Germans?
 No one who knew Sir Roger Case sment in Berlin and saw him on thd seve of his last journey doubts it. tdere is what Evelyn, Princess Bluch- CT, wife of one of the greatest mo-

was handed back and the time of his arrival in Germany, that is the time when I had the opportunity of seeing him drink the cup of humilia- ton to the dregs, penniless and starv- ing, friendless and hunted"
 That is a real picture of Sir Roger Easement in Germany, and it is quite different from the stories told of his spending Herman gold'' lavishly and living on the fat of the land. In tragic contrast, most of the time he did not know where his next meal was coming from.
 Germans Aided Conviction.
 After Sir Roger Easement was "captured" in Ireland, the next step was to put him on trial. There was hardly any real evidence against him. No one actually knew how Easement got to reland. It was one thing to tercourse with the Germans and an- other thing to prove it in a court of law.
 So it came down to a question of witnesses who could testify as to Casement's actions in Germany. Irish soldiers, prisoners of war in Ger many, could tell the story. How were their stories obtained?
 The official historian of the Case ment trial, George H. Knott, a bar rister of the Middle Temple, answers this puzzle in his introductory note to the trial.
 Here is what he says: --
 The remark may be made that it was with singular indifference to~the interests of Sir Roger Easement that the German authorities allowed the exchange of the very prisoners who could tell the whole story of the hap 'penings in Germany"
 Thus the Germans not alone be- trayed Sir Roger Easement to the English, but were directly responsi- ble for the evidence which sent him to death.

 Had it not been for the evidence of these prisoners of war handed over by the Germans to the English in the nick of time, Sir Roger Case ment could never have been convict ed without an outrageous perversion of justice. The whole case hung on this testimony.
