Tended in Letters to Twenty

James r. Nugent. Democratic leader
in Newark. yesterday broke the silence
that he had maintained since last Mon
day night, when Governor Edwards
nominated him as prosecutor Of Essex
County. In u letter to each of the
twenty one members Of the State Sem
ate he put himself on record. believing
it the only way to answer the campaign
OF publicity made against him by Sem
ator William II. Parry. Of Essex; tho
Anti-Saloon League Of New Jersey and
the Federation Of Churches Of Newark.
His activities as the defender of vio-
lators of the prohibition enforcement
acts, Mr.. Nugent says, were those of IL

the courts" 1t was his duty to repre-
sent his clients. he writes, just as it
would be the duty Of every member Of
the New Jersey bar.

Miller Still Sure of
100000 Budget Cut
Governor Learns State Must
Pay $l,O0O,OOO More Than
Figured for DESTROYED Cattle


Governor Miller said at the Hotel
Plaza yesterday that stat. budget
makers are doing good work. although
they have to deal with unlooked-for cx-
tras. The Governor still is Of the judg-
ment that the new budget will be re-
duced from last years figure, $780,
100000, to about 2b,000,o00. 1t was
learned that tho cost Of rcimbursing
farmers for tho killing Of cattle inhict-
ed with tuberculosis is 1,000,0 900 more
than WAS anticipated, and that on ac-
count of disabled war veterans and an
increase in insanity hospital expendi-
lures will have to be increased by $2,-
100000.
When the Governors attention was
called to tho declarations Of President
Hedley OF tho 1nterborough and Re-
cciver Garrison Of the B. r. r. with
reference to increased earnings he
said:
at would indicate that the Transit
Commissions outline Of the prospect
of five-cent fare under proper unfit
cation of facilities was justified,
wouldn't it?"
The Governor received representa-
tives opposed to the canalization Of the
St. Lawrence River in tho interest Of
groups backing a proposal for govern
mental support for the project. He
said that he was not ready to discuss
the report Of an international commits
sion and Of the government engineers.

Death Cannot Part
Old Pair Who Flee
Life Hand-in-Hand
Bodies of Man and Woman.
Found Recently, Believed
to Solve Mystery of Miss
ing Lynbrook, LII, Couple

The bodies Of the man and woman,
each with a sandbag tied around the
neck, found recently in the Windsor
Land Company canal near its Hemp
stead Bay terminus. are believed to be
those Of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bell, an
aged couple who had been residents Of
Lynbrook, l.. l., several years.
Justice OF the Peace Ncu and Con-
stable Strohsan, Of Lynbrook, were told
yesterday that nothing had been seen
Of the aged couple since they started
out from their home for walk Sunday
afternoon, December IL. The following
afternoon the body Of man about
seventy years old was found in the
canal. The woman's body was found
January l3 about quarter Of mile
away. Because of lack of Identification
the bodies were buried side by side ir
the free ground" of the Rockville
Cemetery, on the Merrick Road, be
tween Lynbrook and Rockville Center.
The aged couple had lived Sc
cludcd life since moving to Lvnbroolx
and letters found yesterday at the
home seemed to convince the Lynbrook
authorities that after leaving their
home on the December afternoon Mr..
and Mrs. Bell decided to die together
in the canal.
Justice Neu and Constable Strohsan
went to the Bell house, a six-room
structure, neat and orderly and not too
comfortably furnished, but suggesting
rigid economy rather than poverty
One Of the first objects to eaten
their eye was an unfinished letter the
envelope of which was addressed to
Mrs. E. Z. Donaldson, Rowayton, Conn.
The letter was dated December II, al
though the body, believed to be that Of
Bell. was found December 12. The
letter was written by Mrs. Bell and
she spoke Of her husbands illness.
She said:
~ am keeping up for his sake, but l
fear am going to lose him. I think
he knows it himself. | only wish ! go
with him. do not want to stay with
out him. ou know how dear we love
each other.
81 can not and would not live with
out him-notning to live for then. He
is awake now and I will finish this
when we return from our walk
The house in which the couple lived
belonged to them, except for $4,000
mortgage. A family album indicated
that Mr.. and Mrs. Bell were born in
Belfast Ireland. Several neighbors
questioned yesterday were unable to
say when they had last seen the couple.

Article in Amendments
TO the State Constitution

Governor Miller, guest OF honor at

of the New York State Bar Association,
1epeatcd last ght the warning he has
sounded on previous occasions against
Federal encroachments upon what may
lie considered the exclusive rights Of
We several states in self lf-governmcnt
The Governor cited as two present
examples the Smith Towner welfare
bill, now before Congress, and the uni
Torm education bill that would bring
sll state educational systems under
Federal supervision.' questioning the
constitutional right OF Congress to
pass such legislation
y wish to utter a note Of warning"
he said, against the present tendency
TO build up Federal bureaucracy to
supervise state activities under the
xuisc of Federal aid, and thus bv in
direction to change our system of gov
eminent and to destroy the limitations
upon the exercise Of Federal power
hxed by the constitution
Modern communications and trans
portation had brought about central
,zed authority in such matters as inter-
state commerce, for which power was
given to Congress by the constitution,
Governor Miller said. and the states
must expect to surrender some of their
powers as government and society be-
come more complex. He continued:
But our system OF government is
1uiit upon the bed rock of local self
government. Whatever lmpairs the
energy, the initiative, the effectiveness
the independence, If you please. Of
state and local government, of purely
state and local affairs, tends to destroy
the capacity Of our people for self
government and to undermine our gov
ernmental structure.
Maternity Bill an Example
Now, a discovery appears to have
been made by Congress of new and
hitherto undreamed Of power to leeis
late on any subject which it deems to
involve the general welfare. and under
that Interpretation it has recently
passed tho so-calied Sheppard -Towner

virtually all of the days business ses-

Strong opposition to the measure.
which is contained in the report of the
Judiciary Constitutional Convention of
1921 going to the Legislature under
date of January of this year, was ex-
pressed by John Brooks Leavitt, of New
York. The entire revision. MIR. Leavitt
said. was unscientitic and was not
adapted to the wants of the people Of
the state.
j. Noble Hayes recommended the
English system of permanent referees.
instead of the official and legal ref
crees proposed. Some of the sections
were finally referred back to the ex-
ecutive committee of the convention.
Judge A. T. Clearwater, of Kingston,
urged the meeting to adopt the report
of his committee on the powers, COM
position and jurisdiction of the Court
of Appeals.
The executive and law reform COM
mittees recommended the abolshment
of the county courts in Brooklyn. the
Bronx. Queens and Richmond and the
extension of the Court of General Ses-
sions. The five separate courts now
existing would, under the plan, be ab-
sorbed in two divisions, one for Man

Tall Actress
Has Busllel of
Woes ToTell

London, Feb. 8--"In any other
profession than mine to be tall
Is an asset" declares Miss Viola
Tree. famous comedy actress and
seventy four inch daughter OF Sir
Herbert Beerbohm Tree.
But to be tall actress!" says
Miss Tree. "That is quite an
other matter. The tall actress
has to consider so many things
when she is rehearsing. She
must not walk with long strides
but she must hit the happy mean
or she will mince along absurd
Iy. She must kneel on chair,
lounge or sit when talking to
shorter member OF the cast, or
her height will be too obvious
and make the scene ridiculous.
when 1t comes to matters OF
dress the difficulty is very real.
/ have to think out my stage
frocks very carefully indeed, al
though, being stock size in every
thing but height, l have little
trouble in private life.
you see, anything that adds
to the height is dangerous. Your
hats must, where possible, be
broad brimmed and droop, or be
OF the flat Tam O. Shanter descrip
tion. And shoes! / have long,
narrow feet and high insteps, but
a shoe to show off these good
points have high heels.
"Of course, II you happen to be
tradgedienne height Is not such
a drawback; but / prefer comedy
parts. But / yearn in vain. No
one expects a tall woman to frivol
ON the stage, although they are
not always serious In real life"

more healthful city Is often the
result OF childish ambition.
City Sanitation.
(By Elizabeth Welch.) J

L NDS &@AhN&1SSA w
1t is easier and better to pre-.
vent disease than to cure 1t. When
planning city this idea should
be kept in mind. There are many
things that help to make a
healthy community.
Pure water Is essential to the
health of a community. Rivers
will purify themselves to a certain
extent after flowing a few miles,
but we should not depend on this.
Every city should have either a
filtration plant or get its water
from a pure mountain stream. In
the filtration plant the water is
pumped from the river or lake and
allowed to filter through sand.
Sometimes some chemical Is used.
Cities must also have a suffi-
cient sewerage and drainage sys-
TEN. Some cities have their sew
ers discharge into a lake or river,
but what city does with its sew
age depends somewhat on the To-
cality.
The disposal of waste material
must also be considered. There
are three kinds Of waste matter:
rubbish, garbage and ashes. After
these are collected, they are used
for various purposes. For instance,
ashes may be used for "made"
ground. In city where there is
no system for the removal and dis
posal of waste mater, it should be
burned.
I think that it would be good ifI
every city had laws for the inspec-
tfon Of plumbin. 30 as to make
sure that 1t was open.
Cities should also have laws
against the placing of fruits and
vegetables on the sidewalks, as
some lgrocers do. If the cities
had this law, the food would be
more sanitary, as otherwise It
would be handled by all sorts of
people.
OF course, In almost all cities
there are law against public
drinking cups and public towels,
and in some cities there are laws
against splitting in public places.
Cities that have many factories
and much smoke are less sanitary
than others. But, If these cities
would have laws for smoke regu-
Iation, they would be more sani-
tary.
In almost all cities there is
place that the people of the city
would rather not have visitors see.
II 1t Is a swamp that would be
nice breeding place for mosqui-
toes, the health of the community
Is endangered. But, if it an aIley

drink the water that comes from
the river. The best thing to do Is
to have them taken to the city
dump yard.
| Is your house well ventilated
and light or do you pull down the
blinds for fear that your carpet
will fade2
The best way to live is to be
clean morally and physically and
keep the conditions under which
you live, clean.
City Sanitation.
(By Minnie Benson.)
"a city is SO unhealthfup' we
hear people say. A city that has
filthy streets, bad water, badly
ventilated buildings, and the
smoke from trains and manufac-
turing plants for people to breath
instead Of the pure air they should
have is indeed unheaIthful. But
IL city Is clean 1t is a healthy
place to live. That mean If they
have well ventilated buildings,
good pure water, clean streets and
yards, and parks for the people to
walk in and enjoy.
In trying to make the city a
healthy, sanitary place to live,
one of the first things to look aft
or Ia tho uyafop To the x,totor r.,
not pure, how can the people who
drink 1t be healthy? If the water
is taken from river 1t should be
well filtered through sand, gravel
or charcoal, Or purified in some
other way. ~ta.
Two very important things are
streets and backyards. Some peo-
pie have the idea that il all the
rubbish Is dumped into the back
yard 1t is all right. But right in
these filthy yards in where un-
countless disease germs live and
thrive and these same dirty yards
are the cause of most, If not all
of the deaths In the city.
Clean up clubs" have been
formed In quite number of
schools, for the school children.
They are taught what filthy yards
and streets really mean and how
many deaths they cause. The chill
dren commence to clean up their
own yards, tell their parents what |
they have learned, and in that
way clean yards and streets and
