PAINTED HER ROOF
LIKE REAL WORKMAN

TRENTON, Oct. 26:-Taking a
day from household duties, Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Fletcher, of No. 255 Walnut
avenue, this city, yesterday surprised
the quiet little neighborhood by
climbing to the top of her three
story house with paint bucket and
brush and laying a coal of gray paint
on the otherwise weather-beaten
roof. While men stared and women
commented freely on her daring,
Mrs. Fletcher, the least of all con-
cerned, moved cautiously along the
slanting edges of the almost perpen-
dicular roof, covering every spot OF
the weather Drowned boards with
paint.
Left with the car of her five lit
tie children by her husbands death
two years ago, Mrs. Fletcher has moi
only supported her family by work
ing in Trenton households, but she
has managed to keep her own homo
in excellent condition of repair, from
cleaning and painting to necessary
carpentry and plumbing work. Hel
courage and the rapidity with which
she worked yesterday so impressed
the Trenton contractors that some o.
them offered her steady employment
as a painter.

FORMER GOVERNOR
MAKES A BLUNDER
Foster N. Voorhees, Raped Colby
ties at a Harmony Meeting
Fowler May be Beaten.

PLAINFIELD, Oct. 26:-Bitter
feeling has broken out anew in the
republican party here, and as a re-
suit Congressman C. N. Fowler is
likely to have his vote cut in all kinds
of ways. The wound healed after
the primaries is again open since ex-
Governor Voorhees, paid his respects
to reform at a mass meeting in the
theatre here on Tuesday night.
Harmony was the keynote of the
meeting, and Senator John Kean and
ex-Attorney General John w. Griggs
religiously adhered to it, but Voor-
hees struck d%iscordant notes at the
very outset by his caustic remarks
concerning Colbyism. He declared
among other things that before a
new idea" man could come out for
office he had to be baptized in the
faith by Senator Colby, and over in
Essex county had to kowtow to him.
No sooner had the meeting ended
than Voorhees, realized his blunder.
He admitted that he had struck dis
cordant notes. Griggs told him that
he had struck so many that he had
broken the whole political piano.
Today the Colbyite central COM
mittee issued notice that it would
hold a special meeting on Tuesday
night next to take action on Mr.. Voor-
hees' alleged insults. The machine
bosses realize that the Colbyites hold
the balance of power here, and that

SAYS REWARD OFFERED
FOR W. ]. MASTERSON

According to a report in a New
York newspaper this morning $1,000
reward has been offered for the re-
turn of William Masterson, OF
South Amboy, dead or alive.
The story goes on to say that
the police, private detectives and
friends have spent weeks in
fruitless search, but many who
know him think that worry lest the
so-called Bishops bill would drive
him out of business caused him to
disappear. .
Masterson was much disturbed in
mind at the working of the Bishops
bill. He spoke frequently about it to
his friends and was eager to organ
ize means of fighting it. The last his
friends saw of him was at a meeting
of the South Amboy Retail Liquor
Dealers Protective association two
monts ago, where the bill was the
chief topic of discussion. After the
meeting he seemed more Respondent
than Eel and went away alone. He
may be suffering temporarily from
insanity, his friends think, n a re-
quest has been made that hotel and
saloon keepers keep on the look out
for him..
His business affairs were in good
shape when he went away and hi4
relations with is family were pleas

sandy hair and a seal i've his right
eye. He was 5 feet 8 inches in
height. P. F. Kenah, secretary OF
the South Amboy Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Protective association, will he
glad to receive any information about
him. His wife, however, fears he
has committed suicide, because he
ogten spoke to her about the pros
pect OF losing his business.

SHOOTS SWEETHEART
THEN KILLS HIMSELF

NEW YORK, Oct. 26:-Believing
that he had killed his sweetheart
with the four bullets he fired at her,
Frank Dorsey, a clerk, living at No.
704 Macdougal street, Brooklyn, to-
day shot himself dead in the bird
store where both were employed, at
Nos. 124 and 1875 Fourth venue
The young woman ne shot at is
Miss Josephine Schmidt, of No. Ala
West Forty-eighth street, but instead
of killing her he only slightly wound
ed her in one leg. One bullet, aimed
directly at her forehead, she lodged,
and it crashed through the plateglass
window. That was the last of the
four bullets he sent after her, and he
said after firing it and before shoot
ing himself:
guess" Then he sent the last of the
five bullets in the revolver into his
own brain and fell dead.
Dorsey was twenty-five years old,
seven years the junior of the woman
he wanted to marry and who had re-
pulsed him. He had worked for Will
liam Stoffregn, owner of the store,
for six years, and Miss Schmidt had
been there two years longer. Both
were in the habit of reaching the
store at 8 o'clock in the morning.
They arrived at the usual time to-
day, and let in the woman who scrubs
the floors. 1t was while this woman
was at work on the floors that Dor
sey approached Miss Schmidt and en-
gagged her in a quarrel. The quarrel
had continued not mor than five
minutes when Dorsey began shooting.

Alderman Edward S. Perry and Al

a tiff about the trouble at the water
works. Williams was angry because
Perry had charged him with making
untrue statements concerning the
condition of affairs at the works.
Williams stood up in a lull in the
business of the council and said:
"Mr. Perry has made some state
ments which were not true, and ]

terviews / gave were correct. | nave

HEARST TALKS
TO LABOR MEN
Democratic Candidate for Gov
ernOr OF New York Gets a
Biz Ovation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 90. Madison
Square Garden, full of folk, cheered
William X. Hearst for sixteen minutes
last night, cheered him just as vocif-
erously as Monday nights meeting did,
and the crowd was as great, it being
estimated that there were 10000 per-
sons-paraders and others-outside the
building.
Mr.. Hearst said in part:
MY friends, yesterday / spoke at a
business mems meeting on Broadway.
and what | told business men there |
| do not have one set of principles for
one place and another set of principles
for another place, nor have l develop
ed these ideas merely in this cam
paign and for campaign use. What |
believe l have believed for years and
have practiced for years.
Consistency, | find, is merely a mat
ter of conviction. The old proverb de-
clares that a liar must have a good
memory, but the man who really be-
lieves what he says need never hest
tate to say what he believes.
81 maintain, then, that prosperity, to
be permanent, must not be a matter of
class, but must be general and uni
versal. You cannot withdraw blood
from your arm without taking it away
from your head and your heart as
well and lowering the vitality of your
whole system, and you cannot with
draw the prosperity of any element In
the community without diminishing the
prosperity of every other element n
lessening the prosperity of the whole
community.
'Therefore | say that the distribu-
ton of wealth is as important as the
creation of wealth, and that the pros
perity of legitimate business men de-
ponds upon the purchasing power of
the mass of the people. And l say
that I favor labor unions and farmers
oranges and all such organizations that
tend to distribute wealth throughout
the community and that this distribu-
ton of wealth benefits not only the Ia
boring people themselves, but also the
DtSllltSS Iltll anu III AhS a.
the community.
.Iet us summarize the situation in
this way: When employees receive
| their legitimate share of the profits of
enterprises through good wages and
good salaries and honest investors re-
ceive honest dividends wealth is dis
tributed throughout the community,
the people have the power to purchase,
money is spent in the stores, the stores
order goods freely from the factories.
the factories demand raw materials
from the farms and mines, and pros
perity is everywhere.
"On the other hand, every dollar that
trust extortion takes u~njustly and il
legally from the community diminishes
the purchasing power of the masses
and takes away money that might be
spent at the stores, that might be for
warded to the factories and in turn
spent by them for the products of the
farms and the mines.
Therefore l say that l am in favor
of good wages for good work. The
American workingman furnishes the
good work. Let the American employ
err furnish the good wages.
Therefore | am opposed to trust ex-
t%ortion, and I have fought the coal
trust and the ice trust and the gas
trust and the railroad trusts, not for
my benefit alone or for your benefit
alone, but for the benefit of all the citi,
zens everywhere"
