the Near Jersey State Prison.
Ex-Governor Stokes said the problem? the cob
ference would discuss are living issues of the hour,
and he regretted that they were not more promi
nent In the public mind— improving the condition
of fellow man. He said that one of the difficulties
in the work to check imposition and force the
relatives of the defective to assume responsibility
for their unfortunate kin, and that parents, -when
able, should be compelled to contribute to children
who. havfnsr become nuisances at home, are com
mitted to a state institution.

of Charities in New Jersey."' He said there are
0,40* inmates in the penal and ether public institu
tions of the state and /ounties, and did not include
the Soldiers' Home. lie paid he load found many
instances where asred persons or defectives had
been committed to institutions by relatives who
desired to get rid of them and be relieved of their
care. He said he had found a ryjinber of persons
who bad while suffering from alcoholism been com
mitted as insane, and discovered that two physi
cians had made a specialty of that branch and he
had stopped it by telling the story to a newspaper
man. He tald that he believed publicity was a
powerful means of cheeking abuses.

KNELL OF BOU'EIiY SHOWS
Investigators Condemn City's Arca
dia for Arcades.
For the last three months a joint committee of
the Women's Municipal League and the People's
Institute has been SnvesUsating cheap amusoment3
in this city, and tlie penny arcades, moving picture
shows and cheap vaudeville cotno in for orin'cisni
In a report made public yesterday. Moving ptcturo
shows, tho joint committee says, are the beat form
of cheap amusement because "they are rarely, al
most nev*>r, lodaoent, although they show a rather
lam 111111111 of rough and tumble pictures of
violence ami disaster." \
The educational value of the moving picture Biota
showing human activities in other lands and va
rious historical reproductions is. according to the
report of the committee, of gr*-at importance. '
After visiting pcnnVi arcades in various parts of
the city the committetfunqualiiltdly condemns such
places of amiist'iYu-nt. Tin quality of entertainment
is said to be of a low order, and the immigrants
and children who fora the majority of the patrons
ore endangered by tlieso places Tho pictures, the
committee says, are of a vicious Kurt, and legisla
tion against these arcades is urged. The places on
the Ba4ery> where there are rows and rows of slot
machines, and free automatic piano'muHlc thrown
In, were visited by the committee and later con
demned. Members of the joint committee spent
several wild nights along the soldiers' an.l sailors"
promenade, and if the legislators hoed the report
of the committee the Bowery will cease to bo an
Arcadia for arcades.
. Cheap vaudeville and burlesque "get tho hook'
from tha committee, which intimates in the report
tahat plays like "Lottie, tahe Poor Saleslady," and
"His terrible Secret, or the. -Man Monkey." are well

OPTJOX FIGHT STARTS.
Prohibition Campaign Begins with
Sermons in Every Pulpit in State.
While N'evc York churches were observing yester
day as anti-gambling Sunday, in support of Gov
ernor Hughes's figlU against racetrack betting.
New Jersey churches observed the day as local
option Sabbath: In every city, town, borough and
hamlet sermons were preached, in most cases, fa
vorable to local option legislation this year, ami in
response to the request of the New Jersey Antl-
Saloon League the fight for this measure was de
scribed 5n sermons from hundreds of pulpits.
republicans and Democrats are satisfied to let
the excise problem rest until after the Presidential
election. It is generally known that there exists
some fort of truce between the leaders that this
issuo shall be allowed to rest this year, bat the
anti-saloon men and temperance advocates in gen
eral see their opportunity for playing their strong
card, and they are bringing the public sentiment
that they have: gradually been cultivating in the
Mate to a climax BO that legislative action will be.
taken this year. In doing this they have, through
Senator B. H. Crosby. Republican, of Ocean Coun
ty, presented the strongest and most farreaching
bill yet presented to the Legislature. This bill
provides for a direct vote on the saloon question
in every ward or other political division of the
state. The measure is different from others cover
ing this subject, in that the former local option
bills embraced the county as a whole only. It has
the indorsement of the Newark Presbytery, which
approved it at its meeting last week, and the Ger
man-American Central Society, with headquarters
in Newark, has. it is said, also pledged its support
to the passage of the Crosby or any similar local
option measure.
POLITICS KEEPING QUEENS WARM.
Cassidy Getting Ready for Beimel's Job
Without Regard to Delicacy.
Despite the cold weather, politics in Queens Bor
ough sizzled yesterday. It v.as openly announced
by the* enemies of Borough President Bcrmel that
■a mon as he was removed from office by Gov
ernor Hashes ex-Borough President Joseph Cas
sidy would be elected to succeed him.
It is recognised on all sides that Cassidy, if he
should tocenrd Bermel. would not ho so tender
hearted as the latter, but would turn adrift many
men who have Ion? been drawing incomes from the
city.
Neither Bennel nor his friends look for his re
moval. They declare that if the Governor given
Bennel anything like the opportunities to defend
himself granted to President Ahearn of Manhattan
it will be shown that this attack an their leader
was the result of long planning. It Is expected,
any way, that an immense amount of dirty linen
will bo washed out before the Governor, and that if
Bermel goes down he will carry his enemies with
him.
Mr. Ecrmel scouts the idea of resigning. lie
nays be bad no part in the Klssena. Park sale, for
which, he says, he has been made a scapegoat. He
and his friends also appear to think it strange that
the grand Jury should not return indictments, in
stead of sending charges against him to the Gov
ernor. They say the court records show that for some
time the Investigation into the park site scandal
has been dabbed 'The People Against BermeL"
This, they Bay, would justify the president in de
clining to testify
Mr. Bennel. it is said, will issue a formal reply
as soon as he baa been served with the papers in
the case.

Target Ranges inCuba—Ncic Bat
tleships—National Park Protection.
[from The Tribune Bureau.l
■;- 1?£ • Washington. February i.
GREATEST OF TAttC-KT RANGES.-Improve
meats are ttcadily going on at the naval station at
Guantanamo. Cuba. These relate entirely to the
increase in the facilities of the target range at that
place and have to do with th* preparation of a
campground which will accommodate fourteen
thousand men. Skirmish and light artillery practice
fields have been set aside, and a commodious and
comfortable club has been erected lor the benefit
of the enlisted men. The telephonic communications
have been improved and the tunnelled approaches
to the various butts have been installed. The
naantsnsmn ranges will be the most completely
equipped of their sort in the world. In other re
spects the government is spending DO money at
Guantanamo. Indeed, no appropriations have been
made for that station for two years, outside of the
allotment for the. ranges for small arms practice.
The project for establishing there a dockyard and
naval bare may be said to have been abandoned.
The critics have pointed^out that tlio plrice cannot
well be protected in time of war, and there is every
likelihood that the naval base will have to be
located elsewhere in that quarter of the world.
Goantanama, as a repair plant and naval recu
curerating station, seems destined to pars into his
tory a lons with Olongapo.
NEXT TWO BATTLESHIPS.— The engineering
experts of the navy will soon apply themselves to
tho problem of the machinery of the next two bat
tleships which will be built for the naval service.
The House Naval Committee will have further ses
sions next week on the Increase of the navy, with
the prospect that the appropriation bill will carry a
provision for two battleships which shall be dupli
cates of the Delaware. The displacement^ will be
placed at £o,<X>o tons, and it is proposed to give the
Secretary of the Navy discretion to increase this
displacement, in vi^tv of tho tendency of the de
velopment in naval design. There are. those who
believe that the time is not far distant when the
battleships will have a displacement of 30.000 tons,
but this is not likely to he realized in the. plans
which will be presented to bidders tail year. There
are goo I reasons, say the naval authorities, why
the Delaware should be duplicated in speed, arma
ment and protection.
MIDSHIPMEN FOR COAST DEFENCE.-Threo j
midshipmen who are members of the final grad- j
uating class of the Naval Academy are to be per
mitted to resign from the naval service, an will j
be authorized to take the examination for appoint- j
ment as s^ond lieutenants of the coast artillery, j
This is a transfer which is favored by th* artillery
authorlties and is authorized at the request of the |

they gain by the transfer In their associations with ;
a branch of the military service where promotion is !
better than it is destined to be in the navy. At the !
same time, the naval authorities are opposed to :
such action. They believe that the midshipmen j

two years at sea, should be retained In the naval j

NAVY FINDS LUMBER SCARCE.-The Navy j
Department is confronted with the serious situa- ;
tion of being unable, to obtain lumber in the quan- j
tities desired for the naval service and of the high :
grades which have been the requirements of the '
official specifications. It ie found necessary to j
amend these requirements so as to more nearly j
comply with the commercial conditions, and espe
cially to offset the difficulties in obtaining- the ma- I
terial. Some of the lumber dealers have recently :
been complaining to the Navy Department that '
the system of inspection Is unjust, especially in j
that the inspections are held at navy yards, where j
the rejections in material are made after the con- |
tractor has gone to the expense of transportation. !
It. has been requested that these inspections be j
held at the points of shipment, where the rejec- j
tions win not involve the contractor in the cost of •
freight to and from the navy yard. It will be j
necessary, if this request is complied with, to em- !
ploy additional Inspectors and to change the j
method of inspection. Th« Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, who has charge of this detail, has the
matter under consideration and Is expected to j
render a decision in a few days. This is of great !
importance to the dealers who have contracts' with
the Navy Department, which has been purchasing I
a large quantity of lumber and which Is now in
the market for about 4,000,000 feet, one-quarter of
which id for white pine to bo delivered at the
League Island yard, near Philadelphia.

abroad as naval attache at Paris and St. Peters
burg for several years, arrived yesterday on the :
American liner St. Paul. He comes heie to take
charge of the new battleship Mississippi.
Captain Fremont v.as in. Paris when the Reu
terdahl article depicting the defective construc
tion of American warships appeared in "Mc-
Clure's Magazine." Ho declined to give his own
opinion of the article, but said the various for
eign naval officers he met in Paris gave little
or no consideration to it.
"Tl'y looked t:p"n it as merely -x mapazino
story." lie said, "and not the work of an expert."
He said the growth of tho navies of all tho
big nations waa noticeable, and that he be
lieved it was due to the natural development of
the nations and their belief that powerful navies
were conducive to peace.

WOK BT A PYX BJOVE.
Woman Says Dog Riddle Is Not
tr ßunny- fide;' So There.
The Lord Dundreary riddle, "If 14 dogs with I
legs each can catch 4S rabbits with 74 legs in 23
minute?, how many legs must "i rabbits hava
to get away from 3,000 dogs with no legs at all?"
vas the occasion for several hundred persons
gathering at tlie Lyric Theatre last night to hear
the list of prize winners. Marshall P. Wilder
was the chairman of the meeting, and inter
spersed the reading of the various answers to
the riddle with a few Wllderlan jokes which evi
dently took. More than two thousand answers
were sent to A. T. Worm, manager for F. H.
Sothern. who originated the idea of advertising
the riddle and carried out the plan. The board
of judges awarded eighteen prizes, tho first three
prize winners of the first class being: First. XISB
Isabella Fesaey. of no. • 13!) Lawrence street.
Brooklyn: second. William B. Warren, Mills Hotel
Xo. 1, and, third, J. Trule, Xo. 290 Broadway.
All sorts of answers were received, including
one from an Inmate of the Home for Incurables,
and also from ana man whotsaid thai the best
answer to the riddle was the tact that he needed
the first prize money, consisting 1 of li".
Miss Faaaav*a answer was: "All bets are off. It
Is not a bunny-tide race.'' Warren's answer was
a long one, and the Judges coul.l not overlook his
statement that be was living at the Mills Hotel
Trnle's answer read:
"I>«> you give the rabbits any start? If so, the?
needn't worry." anil he was adjudged a winner,
too. Other answers not "in the money" were:
"That's two legs on me: whatil you have?" by
.1 native of Walton, X. .!.. while one wan replied:
"I need the money «<« bad I will send you an
answer. Tha man must be bughouse to ti\ink of
answering it." One man who had some $5 In a
bank which closed Its doors told his pitiful tale
by writing: "1 leg-aey (preferably in a sand
bank). I say preferably in a "sand bank' becauso
that kind do not «•> up in the air — th«y are K^pt
down by gravitation— while th«« banks In New
York seem to gravitate downward by going up.
That's what my bank did. and so 1 am reduced to
answering riddles to get money."
