EVANS ASKS TO
BE ENLIGHTENED
Would Like to Know if Public

The conference will be over what

* conduct of public affairs. Dr. Dennis
' says the object of the investigation
is simply to aid, if possible, the free
| holders In the conduct of public busi
I ness.
“Wo do not want to nose around
and muckrake." said Dr. Dennis.
"We simply want to help the county
* officials make for the best. We w'ant
to conduct a constructive Investiga
tion and by no means a destructive
one. There must have been some
error in refusing the reporter ad
mittance to our meeting on Friday
without an explanation.” he continued.
“It should have been explained that we
were simply having a friendly talk
over matters pertaining to the county
and would not have anything to give
out for publication.”
Mr. Evans last night stated that ac
cording to his Ideas the matter to be
discussed today would be one in
which the public would be Interested
and there would certainly be no ob
jection to members of the press being
present.
Director Evms'u Letter.
Following is the letter which Mr
Evans wrote to Dr. Dennis:
“Court House.
“Newark, N. J., Feb. 7, 1914.
I>r. Laban Dennis, President Public
* Welfare Committee of Essex
£ss County, Incorporated, 665 Broad
Street. Newark, N. J.:
g “Dear Sir—I beg to acknowledge re
ceipt of your letter of the 5th instant.
In which you suggest that I invite by
letter the Public Welfare Committee
of Essex County, Incorporated, to
make a study of county work, with
the promise of my assistance and
advice.
/ ‘‘In reply I desire to say that the
Board of Chosen Freeholders of the
County of Essex is the governing
tbody of the municipality, having been
elected by the voters of the county to
perform this important work. Every
^meeting of the board and of every
fcommittee thereof is open to the
public and every citizen will be given
the fullest opportunity at any time
consistent with the proper conduct
of the public business of the county
to make inquiry into any phase of
the county government or of any of
the Institutions thereof, and to that
extent such members of the Public
Welfare Committee of Essex County,
Incorporated, as are citizens and tax
payers of Essex County are neces
sarily included.
“At a recent meeting of the Clinton
Hill Improvement Association I took
.occasion, on behalf of the Board of
Freeholders, to extend an invitation
to the members of that association to
visit our county institutions, so that
they might become familiar with the
work which the Essex County Board
of Freeholders is accomplishing. The
statement which I made at that meet
ing and the invitation extended at
that time 1 now wish to extend to all
citizens and taxpayers of Essex
County who are interested in learning
what the Board of Freeholders is ac
complishing.
I’oNltion frankly stated.
•'In order, however, that there may
be no misunderstanding as to the
position taken by the Board of Free
holders, I wish to say that this in
vitation does not extend to outsiders
who mav be employed for the osten
sible purpose of advising the free
booter;- is« to methods and policies,
but whose real purpose may have a
less patriotic origin.
“Let me be perfectly frank with
.you. Dr. Dennis: If the members of
tyour committee are desirous of ob
taining information as to the methods
and policies of the Board of Free
holders they will be given the same
courteous consideration that any
other citizen of the county will re
ceive in making such inquiry, but if
for political or other similar reasons,
an ‘investigation’ is contemplated by
tyour committee, that fact should be
openly stated so that there may be
•■no misunderstanding about the mat
ter.
“There has been a suggestion that
the real purpose behind the meeting
of your committee said to have been
held on Friday night in the city of
Newark, was to embarrass the present
county administration. Whether this
is so or not. there is a distinct im
pression that your committee is re
luctant to take the public Into its
confidence, for if the newspaper ac
counts are accurate the representa
tives of the press were excluded from
that meeting. Such an attitude is just
the reverse of the attitude of the Board
of Freeholders. At every session of
the board as well as at every meeting
of the committees thereof, representa
tives of the press are invited to be
present and they and all other citi
zens arc given every opportunity to
learn all of the details connected with
the management of every depart
ment of the county government.
“Inasmuch as the meeting of your
committee above referred to received
wide publicity in the press of the
county, T feel that it is only fair that
a copy of this letter should also be
published and I therefore take the
liberty of sending a copy to the press.
"Very truly yours,
(Signed) "WALTER A. EVANS,
"Director of the Board of
Chosen Freeholders."

the United Dentists’ Company, of
New York, are parties to a suit start
ed before Judge Frederick Adams In
me supreme eouri circuit toaay.
The Cigar Stores Company demands
$3,708.04 damages for alleged breach
of contract by Johnson.
An agreement was entered into be
tween the two companies that the
cigar concern was to buy a certain
tooth paste from the Dentists’ Com
pany and in payment were to insert
the latter's ad. on the Inside cover of
a paper match box which they give
away.
The ad. was to be Inserted on
30,000,000 of the covers and the cigar
company was to get the value of the
ad. in tooth paste to use as premiums.
Beore the agreement was broken.
16,768,900 million boxes of matches

tributed in cities where the tooth
paste was not on sale. Only about
half the sixteen million boxes were
given out in the metropolitan dis
trict.

No Word Yet from Potomac.
Fear for Navy Boat and
Crew.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Tile reve
nue cutter Androscoggin was ordered
today from the Maine coast to the
Bay of Islands to rescue the navy
tug Potomac caught in the Ice pack*
where she had gone on a mission of
succor to ice-imprisoned fishermen.
The Potomac left Lark harbor last
Thursday for North Sydney and has
not "been heard from since. Officials
think sne is caught in the ice, and
with only a low-power wireless ap
paratus cannot tel] of her plight. She
carries a crew of thirty-six.
The Androscoggin, one of the stout
ships of the Atlantic winter patrol,
was hurried out today on wireless
orders from Captain Commandant
Berthoif.
GLOUCESTER, Mass., Feb. 9.—
Shipping men here, who are familiar
with winter conditions off the south
western coast, of New Found land, to
day expressed the greatest anxiety for
tho«?afety of the naval tug Potomac,
which was last seen on February 5
dashing out of the Bay of Islands to
avoid ice fields, after an uncussessful
effort to rescue two Imprisoned fish
ing schooners.
The Ice fields of the gulf of St. Law
rence at this season of the year are
particularly menacing, as the swift
tides frequently cause them to chash
against one another with great force.
The services of the Potomas were
given by the navy department ten
days ago at the request of Congress
man A. P. Gardner, acting for local
fish dealers. At that time there were
three schooners imprisoned in the ice ,
in the Bay of Islands—the Hiram ;
Lowell, of Bueksport; the Georgie
Campbell, of this port, and the New’
Foundland schooner Frances Willard.
Later the Campbell was driven ashore
by the ice.
All the schooners are loaded with
frozen herring for local dealers. No
great fear is felt for them, as the bay
is well protected

Villa Assures United States
That Castillo Will Be
Punished.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.—General
Carranza and General Villa, Mexican
Constitutionalist leaders, have prom
ised swift punishment to Maximo
Castillo, the bandit who burned fif
teen Americans in a train attack at
the Cumbre tunnel on the Mexican
Northwestern Railroad.
Assurances from the Constitution

derjland from the United States that
the bandits be punished, It was an
nounced after a conference at the
White House between President Wil
son and Secretary of State Bryan.
Villa has 1,000 men scouring the
countryside and has almost aban
doned his attack on Torreon to catch
Castillo and execute him.
Castillo Is an Irresponsible bandit,
giving allegiance to neither Carranza
nor Huerta. He w*as head of Ma
dero’s bodyguard during the revolt
against Dtaz, and his present activity
is attributed to Insanity.
Villa Is said to have promised pro
tection to Spaniards in Chihuahua.
Mexico City is quiet under martial
law. Extensive orders are being

REV. M. J. TWOMEY
WARMLY GREETED
New Pastor Congratulated as
He Takes Up Pulpit of Ped
die Memorial Church.
Rev. M. Joseph Twomey was
greeted by large audiences at his
first services in the First Baptist
Peddie Memorial Church yesterday.
The congregation was delighted with
the new pastor. Words of congratu
lation on the good fortune of the con
gregation in securing Mr. Twomey
were heard on every hand.
The new minister Is a powerful
speaker and a man of remarkable
personality. He is genial, scholarly,
enthusiastic and spiritual. He be
came immediately popular with the
members of the congregation.
Mr. Twomey made four speeches
yesterday. Besides sermons at the
morning and evening services, he
spoke to a meeting under the auspices
of the Baraca young men’s class at
noon, and to the Older Boy's Crusado
conference at the Y. M. ,C. A. In the
afternoon.
Rev. Mr. Twomey was recently
called to the pulpit of the local
church from the First Baptist Church
of Portland, Me. He is a graduate of
Brown University and of Newton
Theological Institution.
His sermon at the morning services
yesterday struck the keynote of the
new minister's work. He spoke on
"Giving Christ the Pre-eminence.”
At the evening service Ills topic was
"The Quest of the Soul." He spoke
on “Giving Christ the Pre-eminence"
in part as follows.;
"There are two important words In
the topic, 'Christ' and ‘pre-eminence.’
Words fall to explain the former.
He was the supreme example of liv
ing. the peerless orator, who 'spake as
never man spake,’ but ho was more.
He was the Son of God and died for
men.
“Let me illustrate the second word.
If a lover of violins had a world of
second-class violins, ho would sell
them all that he might purchase a
Cremona. If a lover of precious stones
knew of a pearl whose lustre, symm
try and beauty was beyond all which
he had seen, he would sell all that
ho hud if by this be could become the
owner of that one splendid stone. The
violin lover would give the Cremona
pre-eminence above all others. The
lover of precious stones would give
that one marvelous stone pre-vifif
nence above nil others.
“To give Christ the pre-eminence
means that ono accept Him as per
sonal saviour give His teaching the
chief place and to live the Christ life.
It means that all hopes, ambitions
and purposes must centre about Him.
"We readily see that the communi
ty is changed only as the units in the
community are changed. The indi
vidual Is the key to community life.
Yet Christianity's mission is to
change the whole life of the commu
nity so that the Master’s principles
shall govern It. This will issue In
new relationships of man to man.
The ultimate of Christianity Is a new
environment for every person In the
communfty.
“But how shall we attain this de
sired end, how give Him 'the pre
eminence'.” By finding the relation
ship to Him. which those who In the
days He walked among men followed
Him, dwelt upon. The titles by which
they addressed Him, or wrote of Him
give the index to their thought of
Him. Five names for Him mark the
writings in the gospels. The first Is
dldaskalos, teacher—teacher of the
great things of life, of the soul, of
God. The second Is kathegetes, leader,
the one who has blazed the path,
who knows the way, whom one can
follow without being led astray.
The third Is eplstates, overseer, the
one to whom I am responsible for
the day's work. The fourth Is kurlos,
master, the one to whom I owe my
allegiance. And the fifth Is despots,
emperor, the one who can order me
to go or to stay where he pleases.
This understanding of their relation
to Him figured largely In the early
disciples giving Him the 'pre-emi
nence.' Let us make their way our
road. Let us think of Him as our
teacher, leader, overseer, master, em
peror, and we will in all things give
Him 'pre-eminence.' ’’

TITANIC OWNERS
ARE HELD LIABLE
White Star Line Loses Appeal
to Uphold Exemption Clause
on Tickets.
LONDON, Feb. 9.—The Court of
Appeals today dismissed the appeal
of the White Star Steamship Com
pany, and declared illegal the condi
tion printed on the steamship tickets
exempting the company from liabil
ity for loss by a passenger through
negligence cf the companys’ servants.
The question of the legality of this
exempting cause was raised in a test
cose brought by an Irish farmer, !
claiming damages for the loss of his
son in the Titanic disaster.
Lord Justice Sir Roland Vaughan
Williams, in delivering Judgment, said
he thought of the danger to the Ti
tanic was neither unforseen nor un
forseeable; that practise did not
Justify a vessel in maintaining her
course and speed W'hjen the warnings
of dangers ahead we^e such as the Ti
tanic received. The cuase on the back
of the ticket exempting the company
from liability for negligence was, he
declared, invalid.
Box
SUES FOR $11,0601
E. M. Waldron & Co. Brings Ac-1
tion Against William E.
Gilmore.
In the suit in the Circuit Court be
fore Judge Nelson Y. Dungan and a
jury E. M. Wald|on & Co., con
tractors, seek to recover $11,060, al
leged to be due from William E. Gil
more for repairs to the seven-storj
building owned by him at 216 Market
street.
The building was fire swept earlj
in January, 1912. The following
March an agreement to replace tho
structure to the condition it was in
previous to the fire for the sum of
$11,060 was entered into by Samuel
P. Waldron, of E. M. Waldron & Co.
John H. and W. C. Ely, architects,
were to represent Gilmore and have
charge of it and pass upon It when
completed. Tho work was to be
finished by May 1, 1912, but delays,
caused, the plaintiff claims, by the
owner himself, intervened, and only
part of the work was completed by
May 15, when the architects certified
to the payment of $5,000. When tho
lob was entirely/ done, in the fall of
the year, the architects inspected,
pronounced it satisfactory’ and certi
fied to another payment of $6,000.
Gilmore, It is charged by Waldrqn
and admitted by himself, refused to |
make either of these payments. He
makes a counter-claim that the build
ing is now vacant because of the un
satisfactory manner the contractor
left it in. He claims he has lost $7,000
a year rental for the two years It
has been unoccupied.
Gilmore, through his counsel, Mat
thew J. Ready, claims that Waldron
evaded city ordinances in doing the
work, and In so doing broke his
agreement.
The defendant’s contention is that
Waldron failed to put the building
as it was before the fire. A fire wall
of brick was required by the city or
dinances, but the contractor tried to
substitute one of asbestos, and even
failed to put in any fire wall when
the owner refused to consent to the
asbestos, it is alleged.
In giving tho certification to Vie
contractor, the Elys disobey the writ
ten instructions of the owners, It Is
contended by the defense.

The work of numbering and tabulating the sets of
answers received has been completed. The number exceeded
even our own liberal estimate. The contest certainly created
a widespread stir.
Some idea of your standing may be had by comparing
the above list with a copy of your own answers. Such judg
ment need not be final, however, because, according to cus
tom and the rules, some slight considerations, such as punc
tuation, spelling, etc., may enter to throw the balance of favor
for or against you. Especially will this be true where two or
more contestants are tied or very close together in standing.
As before announced, as soon as the examiners, under
the supervision of the judges, begin their work, we will an
nounce from day to day the standing of the best sets of
answers examined each day, but no names of contestants will
be published until the final list announcing the actual prize
winners is announced.
