Liquor Nan Slated to "EnfOrCe
the ETcise Lac.

John I. Oakley. Tammany leader in the &1Fth
District and warm personal friend Of Charles
F. Murphy, has been slated to succeed Cen
erll F. V. Greeae as Police Commissioner il
Tammany elects Colonel Mcclellan Mayor.
Mr.. Oakley is a prosperous saloonkeeper and
is regarded of the most popular men In
Tammany Hall. He slated to be nominated
for Sheriff. but was asked to step aside for
Mitchell L. Granger. with the understanding
that he would be taken Of.
In this connection it was learned last night
that at some big Tammany meeting the ques-
ton, will you remove Greene?" will be asked
Colonel Mcclellan from the audience, and 1t IS
arranged that he shall answer the question in
much the same fashion as Controller Grcut
answered Higginss question at the Hoffman
House on Saturday about his support OF Nc
Clellan.
The friends of Controller Grout said yesterday
that the Controller was heartily in sympathy
with Colonel Mcclellan in coming out squarey
against Greene, and he would support the Tam
many Mayoralty candidate in declaring from
the platform that Greene must go.
1t viii be recalled that one of the burning
questions asked of Mayor Low in the campaign
two years ago was, will you remove Devery?"
While Mayor Low was extremely chary of prom
ises as to what he would do in certain contin-
gencies he did say that Devery's head would
come OH soon after he took the Mayor cnalr
1t did. Edward NJ. Shepard took Mr.. Low TO
task for making this pledge, but the doing OF II
seemed to please the people. Tammany will try
it this time. Because of the denial of the
Shrievalty nomination to Fritz Lindinger, presi-
dent of the Liquor Dealers Association. the
liquor dealers have shown a disposition to
withhold their support from the Tammany
ticket. They have not been blackmailed under
Low, and there is feeling among them that
they are better off now than they would be with
a Tammany Police Commissioner at Mulberry
st. who would stand for the old system.
BY having Colonel Mcclellan and Controller
Grout take a strong stand against General
Greene, Charles F. Murphy hopes to swing the
liquor dealers into line for Tammany.

BURLINGTON CUT OFF.
Nearly Under Wdter-Fiue Taken
From Floating House.

Burlington, y. J., Oct u.-This town is suf-
fering from the worst food of its history, ap-
proxmately four-fifths of the place being under
water caused by the tremendous flood in the
Delaware River The highest point of the town
is only three feet above the flood in some of the
streets, and. the river is still rising, it is
feared that the situation will become
rious. The southern part of the town is flooded
to a depth of from two to six feet and much of
the surrounding country is also under water.
In East Burlington it is estimated that 80 per
cent of the houses inundated. Many fami-
lies in want of food. and this afternoon the
Mayor and Chief of Police made a tour OF some
of the streets in batteau and furnishing food TO
those in need.
The town is entirely cut off from conlnunca-
tion except by telegraph and telephone. and un-
less the water recedes soon there will he gen.
eral scarcity of food. No trains are running on
the Cambden and Amboy division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. which passes through here.
The water is rushing down the main street so
rapidly that people who navigating through
the town I'm boats are having a difficult time Of
it. Some buildings have become undermined.
and unless promptly repaired will probably COL
lapse. a majority of the churches held no SER
vices to-day the edifices being surrounded by
water The flood cut channel back of the
town. washing away three wagon roads and the
Mount Holly Bridge.
Five persons were rescued from a floating
house in the Delaware River to-day in sight
OF hundreds. The building was two story
frame structure from Florence. near here IL had
been surrounded by water, and its occupants
sought refuge I'm the upper story. Without any
warning IL broke from its foundations and he
fore the five persons could escape was carried
into the Delaware River and down stream A
party of men met the house off this town and
shingles from the top of the house and rescued
