sion Of Orleans County.
During the entire session Commits
sioner Bates was the only speaker but
there was a general discussion among
the men regarding the future work
of the department. Questions were
asked and answered and every detail
was explained very carefully.
The rules governing the eXpendi-
ture of the maintenance fund were
discussed in detail and in his talk
Commissioner Bates bore on the fact
that maintenance of roads was first
and more important than the con-
struction Of new highways and should
be first considered. The gathering
discussed the building of bridges and
Commissioner Bates explained the
law of obtaining assistance from the
state.
The maintenance fund used by the
State Highway Department is OBJ
tanned from utombobile license fees.
All of the money received from the
registration of motor vehicles after
the expenses of the Secretary Of
State has been deducted, goes into
this fund. The patrolmen in the
different towns and cities are paid
from this fund also. The state agrees
to pay twothirds of the cost of re-
surfacing roads that are being inn
proved and allows $15 per mile for
the maintenance of selected road,
that are not maintained by patrolmen
The state agrees to pay one half of
the cost Of oiling streets not to ex-
ceed $500 All of these propositions

PRAY FOR GOV. EDWARDS
New Jersey Methodists Denounce
Executives Effort TO Defeat
Prohibition.

Atlantic City, ". j., March S.-Prayers
for Governor Edwards, followed by
broadsdes against both the Chief
Executive and the New Jersey Legisla-
ture for defiance OF the Federal law"
and an announcement Of opposition 10
letting down strict discipline ian bars with
regard TO arnusements, were taken up by
the New Jersey Methodist Episcopal
Conference.
The following resolution, which orig
mated in the Laymeu's Association, WAS
adopted and received the ministers ap-
proval:
Resolved, That we look upon The action
Of the Governor and members Of the
Legislature IN passing the law contrary TO
and in defiance Of the Federal law and
constitution, presluning thereby to license
that which tho National government has
declared to be and which every one who
respects his Judgment must know 10 he
intoxicating liquor, as being an encourage
rnent TO iawIessness and bringing humilia-
ton and shame upon the name OF New
Jersey.
The prayers for Governor Edwards,
ito lead him from his willful path, =
were offered at the executive session Of
the I.ayrnsn's Association. The associa-
ton, by vote ot two 10 one, refused 10
indorsc the action of the conference in
voting TO modify the drastic rules OF
the Book OF Discipline Of the Church
governing amusements.
I'VE must continue our fight, az pro-
hibition today is only in It's initial stages,
declared Bishop Berry. "a campaign Of
eternal vigilance must continue for five
or ten years.
The Bishop sad the conference should
work for the defeat of wet candidates
for political office where they showed
themselves.
"1he war furnished the psychological.
period to make possible the Eighteenth
Amendment" the Bishop continued.
1T went through on wave of patriotism,
for, in all human probability, prohibition
would not have come for years. Christian
PEOPLE of this country will dominate. In
New Jersey the majority of people are
Christians The trouble was that they
stayed at home while the political devil
was at work with his own flock. The
Christian Temperance people allowed
politicians to put something over on them.

JUDGE RUTHERFORD SAYS
MANY WILL NEVER DIE
In Address at Garrick Theatre,
Yesterday, He Said New Era
is Here.

Millions who are now living will never
die, according TO Judge Rutherford, presi-
dent of the New York Peoples Pulpit
Association, who made an address at the
Garrick Theatre yesterday afternoon
under the auspices of the International
Bible Students. The theatre WAS filed to
capacity and much interest was shown
in the address.
Basing his statements on passages from
the Bible, he said the old era of world life
ended in 1914, when the world war, pre-
dicted by the Bible prophets, began. He
said Biblical predictiors had been and
were being fulfilled, viz: That there would
be the greatest war in the history Of man !;
that il would be followed by pc.,ilence
lcalling attention To the recent ravages
by Spanish intiuenza) and famine (which
now exists in many European and Asiatic
countrios); also that Jerusalem would be
restored TO the Jews All of these things,
he said, are coming To pass acc. I'd ng TO
the time laid down in the Bible.
lie declared that the new era IN process
of formation marks the end Of the old
world and beginning of the new, when
millions of these who believe IN Christ
and live according TO his teachings will
not die, but Will continue tn live. He said,
no person entered the Kingdom of Heaven
before the Christian era, quoting Bible
passages in support of this. lie criticised
those ministers and other leaders Of the
people who deviate from Bible teachings
pointing out that these who follow tho
Bible and teach accordingly can be q
gxeAt power for good.

EPISCOPALIAN UNION.
No Move Yet Made in That rehalf. But
Matter is Feirp discussed.

While no de- mite move in behalf Of
union Of the Delaware and Fastcn do
ceses of the Episecapl Church has been
made, it is not unlikely that conference
in that behalf will be held shortly. Each
diocese is now without a bishop.
When Rev. f. NJ kirkus, a member
of the Standing Committee, was asked
about the matter today, he said nothing
had been done as far as the committee
had been advised. In 1868, follc wing the
death of Bishop Coleman. there was a
cCrfercrce On the serre subject, with
Bishop Adams, at Esston, Md, but
nothing came of it. DR. kirkus had
written his views on the subject as it
appeared at that time, and reprint of
that, made in a morning paper today,
he said, in discussing the matter, was
confusir g, in view Of the fact hat it is not
made clear that the opinion quoted
applied in 1905 and was not recent
opinion. Conditions are different now,
and up TO this time DIR. kirkus has
declined TO express his views as the
matter appears To him now

PRINCE FIGHTS FRENCH
FOR FAILING TO SALUTE
Allied Officer Attacked for Not
Rising as "DeutschlAnd Ubcr
Allies" is Played.

Berlin, March 8.--The fashionable
Adlon Hotel diningroom was the scene OF
a rough-and-tumble fight Saturday night
between Prince Joachim Albrocht OF
Prussia, a cousin OF tho former German
Emperor, and his guests, and Captains
Klein and Roughevin and Nine. Klein,
members of the French mission.
The hostilities were due to the French
people refusing to stand while the orchestra
was playing Deutschland Ubcr Allies.
Joachim and his friends hurled candles,
crockery and other things at the French
party and Captain Roughevin was beaten
Captain Klein was escorted out of the
diningroom by walters, who defended him.
The episode, apparently, was planned
by Joachim, who has the reputation Of
being n Pan-German extremist. II is
said he has been virtually barred from
other hotels of Berlin, where he has at
tempted similar outbreaks against for
eigncrs.
Many members Of the foreign commits
sions in Berlin live at the Adlon, and
Joachim recently has been appearing
there nightly, wearing his iron cross and
ordering the orchestra to play "Deutsch-
land Uber Allies" Two former military
officers, Baron Won Platen and Herr
Griebel accompanied Joachim last night
When the Prince entered the AdIon
for luncheon the following day, Sunday,
the head waiter told him he could not be
served and that il he insisted upon taking
seat at table the walters would strike
Joachim thercupon left the building. II is
believed the attitude of the walters is due
10 a decision of their union which in
opposing the reactionaries,
it is not known here whether the French
have taken any action as n consequence
of the incident, but it is expected that il
will lead To unpleasantness for the
German government.
Gustav Ncske, Minister of Defense,
has ordered the provisional arrest Of
Prince Joachim Albrecht of Prussia,
cousin of former Emperor William and
Baron Won Platen for engaging in an
assault upon Captain Roughevin, at the
Adlon Hotel, Saturday night
Captain Roughcvin was beaten and
bis clothes were torn.

FOUR -YEAR-CLD TURNS
ON GAS. IS SUFfOCATfD
Left Alone, Afraid of Dark, Tries
to Make Light and is Later
Found Dead.

Left alone in the house when her
mother went out to visit neighbors Satur-
day night. little Dorothy Corleto, afraid
of the dark, got out of the bed where she
had been tucked away, and turne d on the
electric light and also gas jet. Some
hours later man passing smelled the
escaping gas, at 40i Scott street, His
knock on the door failing TO bring any
answer, he forced the door open, and was
met by rush of gas that was suffocating
Opening other doors and windows, he
went upstairs and found the little four
year-old girl, the sole occupant of the
house at that hour, dead in bed. II is
supposed the little girl, awakening in tho
night, and afraid of the dark, turned on,
the electric light, and seeing the gas jet
turned that on also.
Deputy Coroner Harvey f. Nichols
investigated the death and later turned
the case over to Anthony Corleto, 1890
West Seventh street, grandfather of
the child and an undertaken Mr.. Cor
letto last night said he expected the
funeral would be held Wednesday from
the home Of the mothers parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Anthony Malascalza, 9o5
jefferson street.
A sad feature Of the case is the fact
that the father, a seaman in the United
States Navy, who has been away on a
long trip, lasting nearly year, is ex-
pected home shortly, and has been
inquiring anxiously for his little girl.
