BY taking another game from the
Roya4s, making it three straight of the
present series, the Skesters established
themselves soaidly in the first division.
It was redshet contest and there wasn't
much doing until near the end of the
game. Not a run was made until the
eighth inning, when the Skeeters fell on
Keefe and piled ap a auartette of runs
Both Roxen and Keefe had pitched good
ball. Keefes had the best of the pitch
ing contest, but the Skeeters by sharp
base running and hitting at opportune
times, won out. Oaly one of them reach
ed first base until the eighth inning, and
that was HaAigan, who singled in the
second. In the eighth with Hanford out,
Haliigan received a pass. He advanced
on Keister's hit to right. Butler whack-
ed the ball on the snoot and sent it to
deep centre and all the bases were filled.
Woods smasred the sphere to left and
Halligan and Kister beat it for home.
woods reached second. Foxen hit to
Connors and was retired, but Butler
scored. Woods scored ON Clements hit
to left. Bean flied to Joyce and the in
ming ended with four runs to the Skeeters'
credit. The Royals rallied in the ninth
and for awhile it looked as though the
Skeeters were in danger. They made five
successive singles off Foxen, but double
play by Bean and Cassidy and a splendid
catch by Halligan put an eud to Mon
treal's hopes. These plays were the fea-
lures of the game. Joyce hit to left,
Bannon to right and Joyce scored on
Wagner's safety TO centre. Bannon
reached third. and scored ON Huelsman's
safety to centre field, driving Bannon
home. Massey laid one down and Foxen
threw it to third, but not in time to nab
Wagner. Connors cracked one at Bean
and was doubled up with Massey, but
Wagner scored. Connor flied out to Hal

STATE DEMOCRATS ACTIVE

Further evidence that this is to be
year of more than ordinary activity in
political circles was4furnislied by the an
nouncement that William B. Gourley, Of
Paterson, its chairman, had called a
meeting of the Democratic State Com
mittee. The meeting has been called for
IL o'clock, Saturday morning, at 772
Broad street, Newark, the rooms of the
Essex County Democratic Committee
Former United States Senator James
Smith is member at large of the COM
mittee, and James r. Nugent is its mem
Der from Essex.
The fact that the committee has been
called together at this time in an "off
year. is taken to mean that the Demo-
Gratis believe that owing to the factional
fight now going in on the Republican par
ty their prospects of carrying the State
next fall are bright enough 10 warrant
them in getting to work at this early day.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Warden Stohlman of the City Hospi-
tai has decided not to wait for the Board
of Health to bounce him. He is going
to quit of his own: accord and he isn't
going to wait until after his successor has
been appointed either. He has packed
up his duds and will leave the institution
tomorrow. Ii the Board was to ask
him to stay for a few days he wouldn't
think Of doing so. Warden Stohlman
doesn't think he has been treated right.
He said yesterday that he had something
up his sleeve and that if any of the mem
bers OF the Health Board gave him prov
oeatien he would tell them thing or
two. Stohlman hasn't a very good opin-
ion of Jersey City's Health Board.

jersey City must have cleaner and bet
ter streets. That much was decided up
on at the conference. The contractor
is going to be made to live up to the
terms of the contract. An expert in
street cleaning matters is to keep an eye
on him. Whether the expert will be inn
ported from New York or. whether he
will be a resident of this city was not
decided. The Street and Water Comnnis-
sioners-that is, the Democratic major
ity-think competent man can be found
here. They will look the field over and
if they find one whom they think will
suit his name will be presented for con-
sideration at another conference to be
held next Monday. Neither the Mayor
or Corporation Counsel Record want a
Jersey City man, and if they persist in
the appointment of the New Yorker they
have in view, there will be no immediate
solution of the. street cleaning problem.

Chairman William B. Geurley of the
Democratic State Committee has been
aroused from a deep slumber into which
he fell at the close of the last Guberna-
torial campaign. He realizes that it is
about time the Democrats of the State
were up and doing, and in order to infuse
life into the party he has called meet
ing of the State Committee for Satur-
day. An address will be issued to the.
people of the Stateeand the shortcomings
Of the Republican party will be set forth.
There is a strong belief that with the
excise question for an issue the Democrats
have an excellent chance of electing a
majority of Aesemblymen. 1t might be
possible in that event to control the Leg
islature on joint ballot and elect DEM
ocratic successor to United States Sena-
tor Dryden Greater surprises have oc-
CURED in New Jersey politics.

1t developed yesterday at the confer
ence on the subject of street cleaning
that the administrationshas been planning
to put New Yorker in charge of the
department. Mayer hagan is not salts
fed with the way the sstreets have been
cleaned. No one else is, for that matter.
The Mayor was frank enough to a lnit
that the Democratic Board of Street and
Water Commissioners is not to blame for
existing conditions What he thinks is
wrong is the contract system. He ad-
yocated the establishment of municipal
street cleaning plant and the proposition
seemed to meet with favor.

If the Mayors plans do not miscarry
the city will do its own street cleaning
after Henry Byrne's present contract ex-
pires December / next. The fact that
under the new system the cost will be
something like 100000 is not to cut any
ice. Under the contract system the cost
is less than $4,000.
''But the streets are not properly clean
ed now," said the Mayor when some one
mentioned the difference in the figures.
''They are being cleaned as well as they
should be for the amount of money ap-
propriated for the purpose" remarked
Mr.. Byrne, and no one disputed him.

A Number of Negroes Beaten to
Death BY White Neighbors.

Atlanta, Ga.-Four attempts at as
sault on white women by negroes
within or near the limits of the city
on Saturday wrought white citizens
here to high pitch of excitement,
The assaults of the day followed two
others of a similar nature within the
week and at least half dozen others
within the last two months, and
brought a climax Saturday night.
The mob began it's work early in
the evening, pulling negroes from the
street cars and beating them with
clubs, bricks and stones. Negro men
and women riding to their homes aft
er the work of the day were ruthless
ly torn from the cars and attacked
on the streets. In few cases negroes
retaliated during the early part OF the
night. but after 10 o'clock they were
scarce in public places. The fire de-
partment was called out to dispense
the mob on Decatur street, street
most frequented by negroes, and for
time it seemed to hold the crowd at
bay. The police reserves were called
out and will hold the situation until
troops can be modified. The mob
seemed to lack leadership, and this
doubtless prevented greater slaughter.
At least Is negroes are known to have
been killed.
