Trenton, N. j., Sept. 25-The politi-
cal contest that is being fought out
in the state primaries today, has STIR
red New Jersey from Cape May to the
New York state line. The contest is
one of the most interesting and ex-
citing that this state has seen in years.
The republican party is divided into
two hostile factions, very much as the
party is divided in Wisconsin. The
"stalwarts" in New Jersey this year
are called regulars" and the half
half breeds" are known as "Cobyites,"
"reformers" or new idea" men.
The regular" or organization re-
publican leaders comprise pretty
much all the Office Governor
Stokes and other state house officials,
United States Senators kean and
Dryden, and all the representatives in
congress from this state. 1t is sus-
tanned by every member of the state
committee and by efficient Organiza-
tiOns in every county. In short, 1t Is
a powerful and we'll constructed ma
chine, in good working order.
The refOrmers, as the other faction
are pleased to call themselves, are led
by three men who have for the past
two or three years been conspicuous
figures in New Jersey politics. They
are Everett Colby, senator from Essex
county; Mayor Pagan of Jersey City
and George L. Record. corporation
counsel of Jersey City There are
two principal planks in the reform
nlatfOrm. These are equal taxation
and limited franchises. The reform
ers claim that the railroads are pay

OPPOSES NEW SPELLING
AND KEEPS OLD FRIENDS

New York. Sept. 25.-Jacob A. Riis
is strongly opposed to adopting in
his writings the simplified spelling.
With reporter Mr.. Riis went care
fully over the lost of three hundred
words. after returning to his home in
Richmond Hill from a dinner party
with President Roosevelt at Sycamore
Hill on Monday. Mr. Riis. who has
been away for several months rest
ing in Nova Scotia. held up his hands
in horror when shown the list of
words. He said he could never accept
the words, having reached the age
of conservatism when radical changes
are difficult of attainment.
Such spelling seems to me mon
strOus," said Mr.. Riis. "Such words
as 'clapt.' clipt,' claspt,' 'kist,' and
soforth. seem ridiculous. For Presi-
dent Roosevelt l have every respect,
and for his judgment in all matters.
But in this simplified spelling reform

Matthews. Nicholas Murray Butler and
some of the other pedagogues must
have persuaded President Roosevelt
to adopt the simplified or reformed
spelling. The president was simply
trapped into it.
Certainly, could never be induced
to use such spelling. Why, many of
the old words it is proposed to change
are old-time friends. Their destruc-
ton would be the dismemberment of
many beautiful associations. For in

a change. Our own shorter neigh

Stockholm, Sept 25.-The Ameri-

object of the planned outrage, had a
narrow escape from being blown up
by Finnish refugee revolutionists, who
were arrested here Sept. %, and it
was only saved by the timely arrest
of the conspirators.
1t appears that the Firms intended
to rob the state bank, occupying a
part of the same premises as the le-

to empty the vaults of the bank and
then raze the building with dynamite,
fifty pounds of which were found in
their possession. The men declare
the attempt will be repeated by others.

Rolla. N. D., Sept. 25.-Report has
just reached here of shooting affray
which occurred Sunday, near the
Turtle Mountains, short distance
outside the boundary of the Indian
reservation, which resulted in the
killing of Alex B. Poierie.
The first reports are that Poierie,
an Indian policeman, became intoxi-
Gated and strayed from off the reserve
to a camp of threshers. He is said
to have insulted and made himself
obnoxious to woman who was in
charge of the cook shalty, so much
so. in fact, that Albina Riendeaux,
foreman on the machine, interfered
and ordered the policeman to desist
and make himself scarce. Those who
witnessed the affair, state the Indian
made motion as though to pull a
revolver from his hip-pocket Rien-
deaux, quick as flash. jerked out
gun which he carried and shot the
Indian dead in his tracks.
A corOner's jury was impaneled and
today returned a verdict in which the
shooting was designated as "unpro-
voked."
Examination subsequent to the
shooting revealed the policeman car
ried no gun at all and was, therefore,
if anything, simply making a bluff
when he put his hand behind his back.

Washington, d. c., Sept 25.-
Marines have been deserting the bar
racks on Mare island. Cal, at a rate
which has made it necessary for Brig.
Gen. G. F. Elliott. commanding the
marine corps, to detail the second
lieutenant and several experienced en-
listed men as squad whose sole duty
it is to search San Francisco for de-
serters from the marine corps.
So great has been the demand for
laborers in San Francisco that repre-

the marines to desert the service and
engage in work at San Francisco,
where able-bodied men are paid as
high as S. a day for wheeling brick
and mortar and doing other work
necessary to clear the city of debris.
