All Sorts of Jobs Win Rides
on Railroads in This
- State
TRENTON. April 12—Some In
teresting items in the list of free
railroad passes, issued to ifficials to
expedite the transaction of "official
business" was disclosed hire today
when the secretary of state's rocords
lit passes were given the "once
over."
Not the least surprising is that
showing that a pass was issued to
Herman E. Singer. law partner of
Passaic Senator Smith. Mr. Singer
is listed as "gallery keeper, senate”
^band his pass is good untl, January
^■8, 1923. The only difference be
■ tween a gallery keeper" end u plain
■ "doorkeeper" is that tha former
■ has charge of the entrances to the
T second Instead of the first floor of
the senate chamber.
Besides getting the free railroad
pass, Mr. 1'inger is entitled to draw
I860 as "gallery keeper.” While no
body around the state house could
recall todsv si <*hig ths partner of
Senator Smith guarding tlie door in
tha gallery during the past session,
still no one would say positively that
the Paterson lawyer had not earned
bla compensations.
Former Assemblyman Bertram E.
Whitman, of Atlantic CHy, is an
other holder of a pass. He held the
lob of clerk to Majorlty Leader
White, of that county. Tnls Job is
not listed in the legislative man
ual, a semi-official publication,
among officers of the senate, and the
pass la probably the only compen
sation.
The secretary of state's list, among
other things, shows passes Issued
to two deputy state comptrollers,
though there is only one ot these of
ficers. Owen Kite, the deputy, has
one, and Harry B, Salter, whose cor
rect title Is assistant to conrptroller,
la also listed under this head.
v Col. Salter is entitled to a pass
under Chapter 79 of the Laws of
1922, but under his true title. If
that act, which created some twen
ty new passes, should be attacked
uy the raliroads and upset. It Is sup
posed that Col. Salter would, on
the face of things, still have his
pass as deputy comptroller, under
^the old act. Salter originally got a
■lass as "secretary,” committee on
■appropriations, pending passage of
the act. After that measure was
enacted, he surrendered thu commit
tee pass and It was handed to Hor
ace E. Qtlhlns of Camden, chief
assistant to the state treasurer, as
:lerk of the committee.
Just how the legislators go about
sreatlng ‘railroad plum*" for de
serving public servants is Indicated
by the number Issued for attaches
if this oao appropriation committee,
which is subdivided on paper for the
purpose.
Beside* the Job of secretary, for
merly held by Col. Salter, there was
t "clerk," the pass for thl3 place go
ing to Jense Steelman, of Salem.
Than than, was s* Hpprplnrv tn thp
"Joint" committee on appropriations
the place being held by George C.
Bkillman, who will find it useful
In commuting to Trenton as an
employe of the department of pub
lic accounts. The actual work as
secretary < f the Joint committee on
• sppropriations. which is the respon
sible body, is done by Mr. Kite, who
ts deputy comptroller.
What looks like a pretty clumsjl
way of avoiding attention to the
number of passes issued for any pur
pose is the listing of passes for no
less than thirty-three "agents, board
of children's guardians" in various
tnd numerous sections of only a few
each. It takes about live minutes
:o figure out how many of these
passes have been issued.
Former Assemblyman Arthur H.
Nelson, of Hudson, chief lobbyist for
the recent Housing legislation, gets
free rides as “clerk to senate com
mittee." Hudson, county gets an
» other pass, held by Harry E. Mc
Grath, as "assistant secretary to the
governor."

THEATRES
Tomorrow at Dll mas
What is regarded as one of the
best cast screen plays of the year Is
the forthcoming Helsnlck .Special, "A
Man's Home,” which tomorrow will
begin a three day engagement at the
Dllmaa theatre. In addition to Its
notable cast, "A Man’s Home” Is
said to tell an unusually strong dra
matic story, written by Anna Steese
Richardson and Kdmund Breese, and
the picture ha* had the advantage
of the directorial genius of Ralph
Ince. who personally supervised the
filming of the play.
The cast for the production was
selected from the wide field that only
Broadway can present to the casting
director of a photoplay. The charac
ters were all outlined and studied
with a view to fitting the Individual
player to the essential parts—and
there were seven roles that demand
ed most Intelligent interpretation In
order that the story might be visual
ised efficiently.
When the cast was completed it
was found that there was a very de
sirable blend of both talent and
"names” In the assemblage—names
that are known to "fans” the coun
try over. Harry T. Morey, who has
been a screen star for years, and
Kathlyn Williams, one of the best
known women In pictures. Interpret
the leading roles.
Matt Moore and Fairs Binney con
tribute the love interest, while Grace
Valentine and Roland Bottomley are
more adventurers than "vllllans,” In
providing a counter-motive that is
said to Invest the plot wnn us sur
prise" angles. Margaret Sedden
plays the role of an old-fashioned
mother who finds herself bewildered
In the swirl of events that engulf
her family.
Strand Attraction
A story, said to be authentic In
the main, of how it happened that
the Grand Canyon In Arizona was
selected for the principal setting of
Tom Mix's latest Fox thriller, ••Sky
High," has Just come to light. It
came about as a result of a dare
which the Intrepid star was quick
to take up, so the story goes.
It seems that when Toni Mix vis
ited New York last summer to at
tend the Dempsey-Carpentier battle,
ha remarked at the Fox studio, jok-,
ingly, that he'd used up most of the
wild scenery in America for pictures.
"How about Grand Canyon and
Niagara Falls, Tom?" asked one of
the company officials.
"Say, I've got a good horse and
a couple of good stout legs, but I
haven’t noticed any wings sprout
ing yet,” he murmured.
"Not afraid, are you. Tom?”
"Afraid? I should say not.”
“Well. I dare you.”
Tom Mix never refuses a dare. And
now, several months after the con
versation, out he comes in a picture
that even made Mr. Fox gasp for
breath, for the star rqde thfdugh
Grand Canyon in an airplane, rode
Tony, his horse up and down its
dizzy trails, leaped across a chasm
2,000 feet deep, and then plunged
from the 'plane Into the Colorado
River from a height.
The picture will be shown at the
Strand Theatre, Friday and Satur
day.

To Talk On Tolerance

LONDON.—"One of tfie things I
would like to talk to Americans
about when I visit my home land Is
—TOLERANCE. Spell it with cap

She is going primarily on the in

Voters, who will have their national
convention In Baltimore. She expects
to address them and possibly the
English-Speaking Union in New
^ M
York. She also may go to Philadel
phia and Chicago. She expects to be
back In her seat in Parliament In
mid-May.
"From what I read, from what 1
hear,” said Lady Astor, "I get the
impression that in America there has
been a reaction since the war. There
is some intolerance of the views, be
liefs. political opinions of one's
neighbors. There Is a desire to stan
dardize the minds, the morals, the
thoughts of people.
"Tolerance, according to my views
Is a happy mingling of mercy with
justice. .Moses brought the laws of
justice to mankind, Jesus taught the
holiness of mercy.

"In America there is abundance of |
mercy. But is there always Justice?
"I get the idea that over in Eng
land there is perhaps more tolerance.
Pnrposc of Visit
"Primarily what I am going home
for is that I want so Intensely to
come into contact with American
women. I feel with every Jibre of
my being that in all essential* the
women of America and the women
of England want the same things—
justice for the weak, protection of
the women workers, safeguarding of
the children, more and more educa
tion. equality before the law in every
particular.
"We not only speak the same lan
guage. read the same Bible, enjoy
the same kind of books and pastim
but we think very much the same
kind of thoughts.
"American women and English
women can get together on the same
platform as the women of no other
two nation* In the world can do.
"As *n American born, as a mem
ber of the British Parliament. I want
to bring them that message, I want
to help to draw the two peoples
together.
"So much that is good and fine in
life, so much that has to do with
peace and happiness, depends upon
the two peoples understanding and
appreciating each other.
"i want American women to un
derstand Kngland. There is much
that is lofty and splendid over here
that is well worth their knowledge -
There is so much that is equally
lofty and splendid In America that
is worth Kngland's knowing. It is
simply a matter of becoming better
acquainted.
Then she turned upon the inter
viewer and said. "What will the re
porters ask me when I land !n
America ?”
"Your opinion of Margot Aaquith.
perhaps.”
"Mum’s the word." she laughed.,
"Lloyd George?”
"I don't want to talk politics."
“Prohibition ?'*
"Prohibition In America Is the law
of the land because it is the will of
the mass of the people of the coun
try. To ridicule the law. to violate
the law proves nothing. The bes'
proof that prohibition Is the will of
the majority of Americans Is this—
no political party would dare go on
the stump and advocate the repeal
of the law."
