An Appeal tor Skating on Speedwell.
Editor of Chronicle:
In looking over the Chronicle of last
week, I read that Speedwell Lake had
been purchased by a party of gentlemen,
who proposed draining it at once. As
this is the only public lake or pond in
Morristown, upon which the boys and
girls of this place can depend for skating
during the winter months, I am snre
that if the owners could arrange to flood
at least a part of the pond, it would be
greatly appreciated by us.
Very truly yours,
School Girl.
To the Editor of the Chronicle:
The Chronicle of laBt week eaid that
Mr. Claflin, Mr. Whitney, Mr. Burn
ham and othera had bought Speedwell
Lake, and had already drained it, pro
posing later to run a road from Speed
well avenue to the Lake Road, and per
baps make it into a public park. The
article said this was done to avoid a poa
Bible danger from malaria carrying mos
quitoes. I am glad that we have gentle
men in Morristown publio spirited enough
to take hold of a matter of this kind, re
quiring as it does a large outlay of
money, but won’t the Chronicle see if
rhey will not consider the matter of using
the pond this winter for skating ? Po
cobontas Pond has been washed out,
and this is really the only pond we can
skate on. The members of the Morris
town Field Club have a private pond,
hut Speedwell Lake has always afforded
tine skating which has been thoroughly
enjoyed by the boys and girls of our
town.
Very truly yours,
1903 High School Boy.
Charities Aid Quarterly Meeting.
In ti.e Y. M. C. A. parlor, the
regular quarterly meeting of the
Morris County Branch of the
Charities Aid Society was held
yesterday afternoon. The meeting
opened with prayer by Dr. Hughes.
Treasurer P. B. Pierson’s report
showed a balance of $101.16 with all
bills paid. The report on the
County Almshouse by Mrs. Hughes
was most interesting. “Sunnyrooms,
ideal appointments, and a good
garden make the institution a model
one,” were her closing words.
Robert Carter and Jas. Chambers
spoke of visiting the Almshouse a
few days ago and finding every
thing in exoellent Oder.
T. B. Ironside representing the
County jail “committee stated that
place to he in a fair condition, ex
cepiug perhaps, a coat of whitewash
which Sheriff Ryerson intends to
have applied soon. Mr. Irondside
also referred to Chas. A. Baker as the
best sheriff Morris County has ever
had, which statement met with the
hearty approval of the sooiety.
President J. Edward Taylor of the
Children’s Home Committee reported
everything, including the grounds,
to be in good condition. The meet
ing then adjourned.
Jt is plain to be seen that the time
is not far distant when Brooklyn
will contain more inhabitants than
Manhattan. The latter is more and
more beooming the workshop of the
oitv. People will do business in
Manhattan, but have their homes in
Brooklyn, the Bronx, $taten Island,
Queens and the suburbs of our own
State. The latter will probably en
joy an immense expansion as a re
sult of the Pennsylvania tunnel
scheme. At the present rate of
progress the next Federal census will
show New York to be a oity of con
siderably more than 4,000,000 inhabi
tants.
FEDERATIONS LABOR
Annual Convention Hegins Its Ses
sions at New Orleans.
GOMPERS SCORES EDUCATOR,
In Opening; Speech He Criticises the
Head of One of the Leading
Educational Institutions
of the Country.
New Orleans, Nov. 13.—The twenty
second annual convention of the Arner
lean Federation of Labor came to or
der here in Odd Fellows’ hall with
about 400 delegates present.
The visiting delegates were escorted
from the St. Charles mansion, the offi
cial headquarters, by the members of
the local trades and labor assembly,
headed by Robert E. Lee, president of
the local organization, and by James
Leonard, the federation organizer for
the state of Louisiana.
When the convention had been called
to order, Mr. Lee delivered an address
on behulf of the laboring men of New
Orleans to which Mr. Gompers re
sponded.
President Gompers* Speech.
After touching upon the scope and
bearing of the labor union movement,
President Gompers declared that It
was amazing to note the ignorance
among so culled educated people re
garding the aims and objects of the
organization. "No man who as an ed
ucator.” said President Gompers,
“poses as a strike breaker Is fit for the
position he holds. Compared to such
a man Benedict Arnold was a martyr
and Judas Iscariot a saint.”
Although no name was mentioned, it
was understood by the delegates that
reference was made to the head of
one of the leading educational institu
tions of the country, and they applaud
ed with vehemence. Cheers were
again called forth when It was de
clared that the man who acted the role
of a strike breaker was looking back
ward toward barbarism and not to
ward the future.
A call was made for the report of
the committee on credentials and that
body not being entirely prepared con
siderable delay resulted. The report
declared that sixty-nine national or
ganizations, nine state organizations,
PRESIDENT GOMPER8;
fifty-five central bodleB, fifty-four local
and federal bodies and four fraternal
delegates had reported and were en
titled to representation.
The Total Voting Strength.
The total voting strength of the
bodies represented by the delegates
was about 10,000.
It was recommended that credentials
be denied to a number of delegates
who were opposed chiefly because of
nonpayment of dues. A protest against
tlie seating of the delegates of the
Amalgamated Association of Carpen
ters was made by the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners. Upon
motion, the contest was referred back
to the committee for further action,
and its other recommendations were
adopted.
James Duncan moved that a special
committee be appointed to which all
disputes between the branches of the
building trades should be referred, this
committee to report directly to the con
vention. This motion, which removed
much of the work incidental to the dis
pute between the carpenters from the
floor of the convention, was adopted.
A special committee was also ap
pointed during tlie day to consider the
differences between the longshoremen
and other organizations who claim the
former are intruding upon their terri
tory. _

No Lonjger Deemed NeceMMarjr to
tinurd Panama Railroad.
Washington, Nov. 13. — Secretarj
Ilay has informed the navy depart
ment that conditions on the isthmus 01
Panama have assumed so favorable «
phase that he no longer has any sug
gestions to offer as to the further dis
position of the American sailors anc
marines who have been doing guard
duty at tlie terminals and on the rail
way line itself for many weeks past.
This does not mean that the secre
tary directed the withdrawal of tin
sailors and marines, hut simply tha;
he was willing that they might in
disposed of in accordance with tin
present needs of tlie navy. It is no*
doubted, however, that the result wil
soon be the withdrawal of the Arner
lean forces aboard their warships, tin
Wisconsin on the Panama side and tin
Panther on the gulf coast.
McKnlulit Again Sentenced.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 13.—J. M. Mc
Knlght, former president of the de
funct German National bank of this
city, has been sentenced to six years
in the penitentiary, having been con
victed of embezzling the bank’s funds.
This is the fourth sentence on the
same charge, previous sentences hav

actual running time three hours and

German Reichstag Adopts Retaliatory
Clause of Tariff Bill.
AIMS SHAFT AT UNCLE SAM
Agrarians Affirm It la Necessary to
Arm Government With Weapons
For Reprisal, Especially Against
Our Customs Practices.
Berlin, Nov. 13.—The reichstag has
adopted by 192 to 71 votes the para
graph of the new tariff bill authorizing
tlie government to retaliate on any
country discriminating against German
goods. The Agrarians openly affirmed
that it was necessary to arm the gov
ernment with weapons for reprisal, es
pecially against the United States’ cus
toms practices.
Dr. Brumer, National Liberal, cited
an instance in which, he said, $200,000
worth of enameled goods were ordered
in Germany for, New York; but, the
speaker asserted, the customs officials
“changed the classification at the in
stance of the American trust, where
upon the New York importer canceled
the order.” It was proved, the speaker
continued, to the customs officials that
the invoice was in exact accord with
the German seller’s books and that in
stead of the goods being undervalued
the books showed that shipments had
been made to India at still lower
prices. Dr. Brumer further asserted
that the customs officials' treatment
was dictated by the interests of the
home manufacturers, and he contin
ued:
“It is said that we must not offend
the United States, but they will re
spect us more and we shall gain more
by showing our teeth than by always
giving pleasant words.”
Opposition l.y Herr Golhein.
Herr Gothein, Radical Liberal, re
plied that such words were no fitting
epilogue to the sentiments expressed
by Count Posadowsky, the home sec
retary, in the presence of the foreign
secretary, Baron von Richthofen, at
Ambassador White’s farewell dinner.
±ney win mane discord, he con
tinued, "among the wishes spoken
there for friendly relations with the
United States. Why empower the gov
ernment to do something It does not
want to do? Although the present
government would not apply the para
graph some succeeding government
might commit such a folly. Retali
atory duties are the weapon of chau
vinism and not of patriotism."
Herr Fisehbaek, Radical, said all the
chambers of commerce were opposed
to a tariff war with the United States.
Herr Broemel, Radical, remarked
that if Germany adopted retaliatory
measures against the United States on
account of regulations which applied
to the goods of all countries it would
be a serious breach of the existing
treaties.
Won't Hrop the Measure.
Your correspondent is authorized to
announce that the ministry lias not
decided to drop the tariff bill, as pub
lished in London, but is determined tc
persist until the dissolution of tin
relchstag in June. The tariff debate
will probably lie abruptly suspended
by tlie presentation of the budget in a
few days Instead of waiting for the
first week in December, as previously
Intended.
Chancellor Von Bulow finds flint tin
reichstag’s time is being wasted and
wishes to employ the house on the
finance bill. So soon ns the latter is
read the government will take up the
tariff hill, when lapse of time will
have reduced the majority in the house
to a more yielding disposition.
The ministry has also decided not to
agree with Russia or any other coun
try for a five years’ extension of exist
ing commercial treaties.

CABRERA SUPPRESSED NEWS
President of Republic Exercised
Strict Censorship, Says a Steam
ship's Officers, In Order to Con
ceal the True State of Affairs.
San Francisco, Nov. 13.—The steam
ship Newport, from Panama, brings
particulars of the recent eruption of
Mount Santa Marla, in Guatemala. Ac
cording to the officers of the Newport,
the destruction of life and property has
been immense. The necessity for re
lief ships is urgent. The coffee planta
tions in the districts of Coata Cuca,
Chuva, Reforma, Palmar, Costa Grande
and Kolhutz have been buried seven
feet deep in volcanic ashes and debris.
Thousands of cattle have been de
stroyed.
When the Newport was at Champeri
co, the officers found the people of that
port panic stricken. The steamship
Acapulco, bound south, arrived at
Champerico while the Newport was
there and carried to San Jose de Gua
temala all the passengers that could
crowd aboard.
Difficult to Get Details.
Details from the scene of the greatest
damage were hard to get. Kok, Haga
munn & Co. offered $2,000 to any per
son who would go to their Miramar
plantation in Costa Cuca and bring
them news of conditions there. When
the steamship Newport sailed, this of
fer was still standing, no man having
been found who dared to go into the
ash covered interior.
President Cabrera of Guatemala has
resorted to the most stringent means to
prevent particulars of the extent of the
damage from reaching the outfllde
world. Cable messages are strictly cen
sored, and the people most interested
in the afflicted districts are finding the
greatest difficulty in getting the most
meager reports.
The Newport brings news of the total
destruction of the towns of Palmar,
San Felipe, Colombia and Coatepec.
These places are completely buried in
debris from Santa Maria. Rethalhuleu,
Mazatcnango and Quezaltenango have
so far escaped with little damage.

Theodore Roosevelt on “The Presi
dency.”
Before his nomination for the Vice
Presidenoy Theodore Roosevelt wrote
expressly for The Youth's Compan
ion an article on “The Presidency."
It will be published in the number
for November fith, this being one
of the remaining weekly issues of
1902 sent free irom the time of suh
scription to every new subscriber who
at once sends $1.76 for The Compan
ion’s 1908 volume. When this article
on “The Presidency” was written
no one could have foreseen or
dreamed even that its author would
so soon be called upon to take up the
duties of the great office. For this
reason alone what Mr. Roosevelt has
to say possesses extraordinary inter
est, and will be eagerly awaited by
persons of all shades of political opin
ion.
A twenty-eight page Prospeotus of
the 1908 volume of The Youth' Com
panion and sample copies of the paper
will be sent free to any address.

“Oh, Pumpkin Pie.”
From the Baltimore American.
Oh, pumpkin pie I
Athwart thy face
An hundred fancies may I traoe I
I see the glint of snmmer sun,
And twilight when the day is done;
The sober peace of mnsiug cows
Who in the meadow grasses browse;
The radiant glory of the morn
That sweeps across the nodding corn.
A thousand happy fancies start
When thou art nestling near my heart I
Oh, pnmpkin pie!
I hear the breeze
That whispered in the maple trees;
I see the swaying fields of wheat.
And hear the birdsongs, clear and
sweet;
And low across the land at night
I oatoh the ballad of delight—
The chant the cricket sings in lee,
And snmmer comes again to me I
Oh, pnmpkin pie! Thus dost thou
cast
Thou joyous glamour o’er the past!
Oh, pumpkin pie!
Within thy breast
These gladsome snmmer fancies rest,
The golden sunshine and the dew
Have paid their tribute through and
through;
The song the lark trilled in the air
Within thy form is echoed there;
And all these things of joy to me
Were caught and firmly held by thee,
Oh, pumpkin! Thanks for all thou
didst!
I welcome thee unto my midst 1
The Predatory Carp.
The State Fish Commission is now
trying to undo the evil that a former
State Fish Commission did when it
imported a lot of German carp and
stocked the rivers, lakes and ponds
with this fish. Under the supervision
of the State Commission, over fifteen
tons of carp have been taken from
the waters of this State reoently.
The German carp is a poor edible fish.
It is also a bad neighbor for edible
fish, and prevents their propagation
by devouring their spawn. The Leg
islature several years ago passed an
act forbidding the placing of carp in
the waters of the State, and since then
a desultory warfare has been carried
on against the species. In time, it
is hoped, the oarp will disappear from
our waters, and then the bass, pike,
pickerel and trout will multiply un
der good fl-h and game laws.
