MAN WHO KILLED wife
AND CHILD TO DIE IN CHAIR
TRENTON.

Z TRENTON, Nov. 21:-Martin
Ehlers, Jr., twenty-eight years old
of Woodbridge, Bergen county, who
shot and killed his wife and a few
minutes later employed the same
method in killing his seven-year-old
son, must pay the death penalty
himself in the New Jersey state
prison here. The court of errors
and appeals. the court of last resort
in New Jersey, has just refused TO
set aside his conviction.
Ehlers has only been tried for the
murder of his son. Walter Ehlers.
There were two indictments charg-
ing him with murder but only the
one has been tried. 1t is quite like
ly that he will never be brought
before a court for killing his wife
as the death penalty has already
been applied.

GERAN MAJORITY 562
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. - AL
though a more careful counting of
the ballots cast in the third district
of New Jersey for Congressman has
cut in half the majority first re-
ported for Elmer H. Geran, of Mat
avian, his Democratic opponent,
Representative T. Frank Appleby,
Republican, of Asbury Park, will not
ask for an official recount or cor
test Geran's election, he scfted to-
day.
Geran's first reported majority
over Appleby was 1858. The official
count has cut this to 562.
I'll let the count stand at that,
said Mr.. Appleby today. I'm not
much in favor of official recounts or
attempts to contest the election of
the apparent winner"
Mr.. Appleby is serving his first
term in the House. This district
was represented by Thomas Scully,
Democrat, for a number of years be-
fore Mr. Appleby took it out of the
Democratic column two years ago.

thousands of Gaelic clergy and lay
men, condemn the slow killing OF
Mary MacSwiney, the unlawful trial
of Erskine Childers as murders and
crucifixion."

Action of the City

The decision of the court of err
rors and appeals is along similar
lines to that secured against the
city by, John Seaman in the SUI
preme court.
The Board of Aldermen on De-
cember 80, fast year adopted on
final reading the ordinance giving
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany permission to lay a single
track in High street, north of
Washington street, for distance of
about 900 feet. At the same meet
ing q writ of certiorari was served
on the city by Seaman's attorney
following the passage of the ordi-
nance. The case was fought before
the supreme court, and on January
81 of this year Justice James J..
Bergen gave his decision in which
he declared the ordinance annulled,
stating that the passage of the ordl-
nance was an unreasonable exer-
else of municipal power"
The decision of the supreme court
was appealed to the court of errors
and appeals and the ruling from
this highest court in the state marks
the latest development in the fight
of the Standard Underground
Cable Works to secure this siding
and of John Seaman and others to
prevent it being laid. Seaman is a
property owner in that section who
claims that the siding would dam
age his property to the extent of
decreasing its value.

Dry Dock Case Up to City

The question as to when the Le-
high Valley railroad will lay the
tracks across the foot of Washing
ton street. connecting the two plants
of the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Com
pany rests entirely with the city,
according to information received
today. The supreme court upheld
the opinion of the Public Utility
Commission in granting the railroad
company the right to cross the
street. and now the only redress left
the city is to carry the case to the
court of errors and appeals.
In order to again appeal the case
the aldermen must do so by resolu-
tion at their regular council meet
ing, and this action has not been
taken to date. The railroad COM
pany is ready to begin laying the
tracks. as soon as assurance is given
that the appeal will not be taken.

the head Of 1t. Under these cir
cumstances 1t is inevitable that
there shall be an inventory as 70
human material, and there will BE
rivalry to see who improves upon or
fails to keep up to whatever stand
ard Of excellence there may be at the
outset.
Part of the public press Of the
county voluntarily 1--WE assume)
tried to impress it upon the public
that one certain department which
was named in each instance, had
been conducted with great efficiency
because it had not cost anything to
the taxpayers to operate it" but had
been maintained by fees collected.
Fees paid in by citizens are species
of tax, and the one newspaper that
did not spread the doctrine that
money collected in the form of fees
did not cost the taxpayer anything,
was caused to spread that question:
able doctrine in paid advertise
ment. But the people answered the
argument by voting for the remvoal
of the official at the head of the de-
partment that was operated with
that kind of money. Evidently the
people did not accept that kind Of
bunk. There are many sources OF
revenue for the county treasury and
it is no credit to one department or
it's chief if fees or fines or penalties
are handed across the counter in the
regular course of business. If that
principle were sound, magistrate
might fine every offender to the
limit of the law and then point to
the high totals of revenue and give
that as reason for reelection dis
regarding the question Of whether
or not the fines were just.
The county commissioners will
take charge of the county govern
ment in January under different
conditions from those confronting
them two years ago. At that time
they were all new to their jobs, and
the rest of the official family were
nearly all experienced. The board
had to ask their lieutenants how
things are done. At the coming
Inauguration, the conditions will be
more nearly reversed, and the
board will know from the start that
they are to bear the whole respon-
sibility for achievements or failures.
If there is waste of money it will be
up to them to stop it or answer for
it, If members of the official fam
lily fail in their duties or ignore the
law as to methods or if retiring Of
ficers do not turn over their &C
counts in conformity with the law
and their bonds, the board will be
responsible for taking action or
T failure to act.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
is PEEVED

A Chicago woman has brought
suit for 100000 damage against a
firm that gives physical culture les
sons, for publishing picture of her
without her consent. The especial
appeal in the suit lis made on the
grounds that the photo was taken
when she was in slight attire, to
show her good physical develop
ment, or in other words, to display
! her beauty quite fully. She, of
course, makes the claim that it is a
reflection upon her character to be
thus displayed, and she proposes
that they shall pay her money for
it. If she receives enough money
ings.
If the firm that used the photo
had gotten up some sort of contest
and announced that they were going
to publish the picture of the most
perfect and beautiful form, this
same Chicago lady might have been
found spending good money to get in
for the same publication she is now
complaining about. She was prob
ably proud of her form, and her
teachers were doubtless proud of it
or they would not have had the
photos taken, She was probably
willing or she would not have posed
for the photo.
Feminine athletes have been
photographed and shown in the
newspapers with but little clothing,
and we predict that in the near
future it will be no more unusual
for physical culture schools to
authorize the publication of photos
of people in the near-nude than it
is now to publish the pictures of the
athletes slightly clad. We do not
think it will be acceptable to publish
them entirely nude as we do fine
specimens of horses and cattle, but
we believe that good deal more
, wholesome attitude is growing to-
ward the human form and that it is
a sign of departing prudery and in
creasing sense.
We think the lady should with
draw the suit and that the parties
, interested should sit down together
at a good meal and visit over it.
