ARGUMENTS AGAINST
NEW PRIMARY LAW.
Claims it is Unconstitutional and
Violates the Rights of
the People.
Trenton, Jnne 4.? Argument in the
oase to test the constitutionality of
the Primary Eleotiou act passed by
the last Legislature was begnn yester
day before'the Supreme Conrt, Jus
tices Garrison, Swayze and Garretson
sitting. Attorney-General Robert H. '
MoOarter and George L. Record, of
Jersey City, looked after the State's
side of the oase. Congressman Allan
L. McDermott, of Jersey City, attack
ed the law.
Mr. McDermott asserted the act was
an interference with the constitution
al rights of oilizens: first, beoause
the right to vote conferred by article
2 of the Constitution includes the
right to vote by ballot in all cases
where that right existed for the bens
flt of voters September 1, 1844, and
aeoond. that the right to inviolable
secrecy is inseparably allied with the
right to vote, both being rights " re
tained by the people," within the
meaning of article 1, section 21 of the
Constitution :
Mr. McDermott argued that :
"The right of citizens to form
politioal parties, to adopt principles
and to nominate candidates for office
is beyond legislative prohibition. The
method of nomination may be regu
lated, but the question of membership
in a political party, carrying with it
the right to participate in the nomina
tion of candidates, is not a master for
legislation. ' '
Congressman McDermott insisted
that the new act "unconstitutionally
limits the seleotion of election officers
to two politioal parties. "
Attorney-General McCarter an
nounced he would'submit his case on
brief.

FOUND WOMEN'S BODY
- AT SOUTH PLAINFIELD.'
Had Evidently been Dead .Many
Weeks? No Means of Identifica
tion -Coroner Has Charge- 2
There was found yesterday in the
woods near Sonth Plain field, N. J.,
the body of a woman. It will never
be known who she was unless in some
manner the clothing results in an
identification. She had been dead
many months. What the cause of
death was will not be known unless a
dent in the skull proves to have been
a fracture sustained just before death.
The bones indicate the woman was
about forty-five years old. She was
rather * large of frame and perhaps
stout. Coroner Quackenbush, has
taken oharge of the body and will be
gin today an investigation.
The only person reported missing
from Plainfield is a Mrs. Randolph,
.lust who she was no one seems to
know. Something like three months
ago she appeared in South Plainfield
and remained a short time. Where
she oame from is not known and she
dropped out of sight as suddenly as
she appeared there.
PUBLIC OPINION
Editor Evening News:
Yesterday's issue of the News con
tained an article from Mr. S. B.
Qreacen in regard to the ownership of
property where the Hospital Circus
located. In replying to Mr. Qreacen
I desire to state that the committee
communicated with Mr. McCoy re
garding the use of the ground, and
received no information other than
that we might locate there in wel
come. Surely we are sorry that anv
mistake has been made and are ready
to make anv apology to Mr. Greacen
that may seem necessary. We do not
do business, prompted by cheek or
nerve, but from what is right. But
then if we have made a mistake, I am
exceedingly glad that we have fallen
into suoh good hands, for I am very
snre indeed, from a personal know
ledge extending over a period of thirty
years, that there are verv few men
who are more kind or generous, or
forgiving than Mr. S. B. Greacen.
Yours,
Sam'l. G. GARRETSON,
Financial Sec'y.
Forrent Arretted Fop Fraud.
BALLSTON, N. Y.. June 4.? Michael
M. Forrest of Arlington, N. J., was ar
rested here, and the prosecuting au
thorities of Hudson county, X. J., will
take steps to have hhn delivered to the
New Jersey authorities. It is charged
that some $13,900 ol' mortgages which
Forrest negotiated for the Arlington
Building and Loan company have
proved to be worth only the paper they
were written on. and various private
clients have complained that their
loans upon real property, said to aggre
gate $100,000, made through Forrest,
have proved to be of the same nature.
No Rain For Forty-eight Daya.
PLAT'fSBURG, N. Y.. June 4.? For
forty -eight consecutive days no ruin lias
fallen in this section .except one day
about a week ago, when rain fell gen
tly for ten minutes. The drought has
reached a serious stage. Some farmers
are turning their cuttle into their mead
ows, as the pastures are dried up and
withered. The strawberry crop will
be next to nothing, and blueberries
will be a minus quantity. Potatoes in
some towns have sprouted a little and
then dried down. The hay crop will
be damaged at least 60 per cent. Grain
of all kinds is suffering.
Will Count Federal Canh on Hand.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Dishopes
ty in the post office department has in
directly caused the counting of all the
money in the United States treasury.
'"To make assurance doubly sure" is
the reason Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer
of the United States, gave for the un
usual count of more than a billion dol
lars in coin, currency and securities,
which will determine whether the
great vaults of the national strong box
contain all the money they are sup
posed to contain. The reserve, record
ed at $304,000,000, has not been count
ed for six years.
A Physicipn Healed.
Dr. Geo. Ewing, a practicing physi
cian of Smith's Grove, Ky.. Tor over thir
ty years, writes nis personal experience
with Foley's Kidney cure: ''For years I
had been greatly bothered with kidney
and bladder trouble and eularged pros
tate gland. I used everything kuown to
the brofession without relief, until I com
menced to use Foley's kidney Cure. Af

relieved and cured. I prescribe it now

ORGANIZED LABOR.
Notices declaring a reduction of five
cents in the price of mining coal have
been posted at the mines of the Con
tinental Coal Company, s?t Meyers
dale, Penn. District President Yonng
yesterday inquired into the matter
and ordered a strike and the mines
are now idle.
Danger of a general strike of freight
handlers at Chioago has passed. The
Lake Shore and Miohigan Southern
Railroad conceded yesterday to its
men an advance in wages, and an
agreement rnnning until June 1, 1904,
was signed.
The tie-up in freight handling at
St. Louis was more general yesterday.
The efforts of the union officials to ;
force the teamsters to return to work
moved unavailing and practically all
the teamsters are out.

Now that the hot season is upon us,
Mr. Proctor has taken the opportunity
to make a plunge in the theatrioal
world. For the Summer season only
the best and most modern plays have
been selected for presentation, and
these will be done throughout the
season at all thq Proctor stock houses.
New people have been engaged, and
all the favorites retained. Next week
at Proctor's Fifth Avenue a brilliant
production will be made of David D.
Lloyd and Sydney Rosenfeld's splendid
comedy, "The Politician."
Proctor's Twenty-third Street house
will have a big bunch of novelties to
offer in the continuous field. The
"topliner" is one much out of the
ordinary, and is a true novelty in its
line, La Belle Troja, whose place as
a singer of songs dashed with spice,
has long been recognized, has arranged
for a departure which will place her
in line of competition with Borne of
the most famous players in the legit
imate.
Another pretty and ^prominent act
ress who f?ared that added flesh
would make inroads on her popularity
and affectiveness, has taken radical
measures to prevent such a calamity.
After a year of retirement from the
glare of the footlights in order .to
pursue musical and dramatic studies
Miss Virginia Earle announces that
she is undergoing a special coarse of
training preparatory to again appear
ing before Broadway audiences. No
time has been set for Miss Earle's re
appearance, bnt as she will be requir
ed to [ play the roles of a boy and a
girl m a big production next season
she has made arrangements for daily
lessons and private practice horns at
a well known gymnasium until she is
called to rehearse. Manager Sam
S. Shubert will act as the theatrioal
guide and sponsor [of Miss Earle in
the future. Although she will have
a very prominent role in the new pro
duction to be made this fall, she will
not be "starred" until the following
season, when she will be sent out in
a novel mnsical play with Mr. Shu
bert at the helm.

President Roosevelt Welcom

DEDICATION OF MEMORIAL HALL
Fifty Tkomand People In Lincoln
Park Lilnten to Hi* Excellency
and Ten Thousand Greet
Him nt Jollet.
FREEPORT, 111., June 4.? President
Roosevelt anil party reached here from
Dubuque and immediately afterward
were driven to the site of the Lincoln
Douglas debate in 1858, where a monu
ment commemorating the event was
unveiled in the presence of many thou
sands from Freeport and vicinity.
The feature of the visit of President
Roosevelt to Kockford was the dedica
tion of Memorial hall, a $<50,000 struc
ture consecrated to the soldiers and
sailors of Winnebago county.
Fifty thousand people greeted Presi
dent Roosevelt at Aurora. 111. He was
first driven to Senator Hopkins' home,
where luncheon was served. Then he
was escorted to Lincoln park, where he
made a short speech to 15,000 people.
The day was a general holiday there,
and all business was suspended. After
a stay of two hours he left for .Toliet.
Ten thousand people joined in wel
come to President Roosevelt to Joliet.
When his train first came in sight
whistles of the great steel and iron
mills were openod wide, and thou
sands of employees gathered at the
gates to Join in the greeting. The pres
ident and his party entered carriages
with the city officials, and the parade
was made through the principal streets.
Thousands of school children lined the
walks. The route was profusely deco
rated with flags. At the Central school
a stop was made, and a brief speech
was addressed to an audience of more
than 5,000 people.
The president discussed labor ques
tions and gave his ideas on the modern
industrial system. When the president
finished his address he entered his car
riage, and the horses were driven on a
gallop to the train. *
At the depot the old soldiers were
lined up as guard of honor. The presi
dent delayed long enough to make a
speech to the veterans. He said they
were always entitled to a place of hon
or in American affairs. In the crowd
was a number of Spanish- American
war veterans, and the president had a
special word for these. Amid the plau
dits of the great throng the president's
train pulled out.
President Roosevelt put in about the
busiest day of his trip from a speech
making standpoint. He made his first
speech at Freeport and spoke nine
times during the day. Eight of his
speeches were made in the open nlr
and several of them In rain storms. The
hardest rain encountered was at Pon
tiac, where he dedicated a soldiers and
sailors' monument. The downpour was
so heavy when his train arrived that it
seemed inadvisable fpr him to venture
out.
"I will leave it to you, Mr. Mayor,
he said to that official. "If you say go
we will go."
The mayor decided that the president
6hould go, and, wearing a rain coat, he
braved the elements.
The most interesting feature of the
day occurred at Dwight. The mayor of
this place is a Democrat. In introduc
ing the president he said:
"I consider you, Mr. President, the
ideal American citizen. I am in favor
of the course you have pursued and
will support you for re-election."
The president, responding to the in
troduction, said:
"I am pleased by the kind words the
mayor has said to me. Perhaps I prize
them especially. Mr. Mayor, coming
from one who is not of my party, but
the whole thing is. my friends, if we
are all good Americans. That is enough
platform for all of us to stand on. I
prize more than I can say such words
as have been uttered by the mayor,
and, I assure you, I shall do my best to
try to deserve them."
The president also assisted in the
opening of a new hotel at Dwight. A
wire was run from the hotel to the
rear platform of his car, and by press
ing a button he started the machinery
