MAN WITHOUT A PARTY FAvORS LIBERAL SUNDAY
Democratic Speaker to-be Also
Wants Public Approval.

NEWARK, Dec. 21:-Edgar E.
Lethridge, of Orange, caucus candi-
date of the democratic party for
speaker of the New Jersey assembly,
said yesterday:
Il ran for Office on a platform
pledging the people a liberal excise
law that would permit the Sunday
sale of liquor, and | will work for
such a law. / do not believe 1t is
feasible to repeal the bishops law,
but it should be SO amended that the
people of Essex county and the state
can have the liberal Sunday the last
election has demonstrated they de-
lied the responsibility attached to the
sire"
Mr.. Lethbridge declared he real
selection of his committees, and he
believed the names of the proposed
committeeman should be made known
before the formal appointments are
made. in order that the people might
study the fitness of the men for their
positions. II do not believe" he con-
tinued, that any railroad man or
man with railroad affiliation should
serve on the committee on municipal
CORPORATIONS or railroads."
Mr.. ~Lethbridge declared he never
had been influenced by former Sena-

FUNERAL
ON SATURDAY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn to be Buried
From SteltOn Baptist
Church.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. 21:-
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac c. Dunn, who
were killed Tuesday night at the
crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad
at Stelton, while returning from
prayer meeting at the Stelton Baptist
church, will be buried from that
church on Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock. 1t is expected that the FIJI
neral will be the largest ever held at
Stelton, for the community has been
deeply affected by the tragic nature
of the couples death.
The IL o'clock train from New
York and the 1928 train from this
city will stop at Stelton for the con-
venience of those wishing to attend
the funeral.
To Hold Inquest.
Coroner Moke visited the seer of
the accident yesterday, and at the re-
quest of the members of the family,
has decided to hold an inquest over
the remains. Coroner's jury will be
summoned today, and the jurors no.
titled to appear at the court house on
Thursday afternoon, December ~,
when the inquest will DE held. The
jury selected is as follows: P. Van
Anglen. P. H. Wyckoff, r. E. Mar
tin, ]. Ayres, ]. v. Hubbard and N.
E. Bedford.
Similar to Fair Case.
An unusual phase of the killing of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn will be the matter
of determining which of the two was
killed first, as bota left wills leaving
their possessions to the other. The
case is in this respect similar to that
of Charles Fair, the multi-millionaire,
and his wife, who were killed in
France some time ago in an autonio-
bile accident. The Fairs willed their
possessions to each other, and, as a
result the surviving members of the
two families we're engaged in prolong-
ed litigation in order to find which OF
the deceased died first, and, accord
ingly, to which branch of the family
the possessions os the couple revert
ed. In the law it is generally pre-
sumed that the male Is the most IL
able to live the longer, owing to his
more rugged physique.
MIR. Dunn was a beneficiary of Me
tuchen Council, Royal Arcanum, and
the council met last night to take ac-
ton upon his death.

Representative from New York
Claims to be Republican.
tFrom the NEWS correspondent.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21:-Unrec-
ognized by the republicans and re-
pudiating the democrats Peter A. Por-
ter, representative-elect from the
Thirty-fourth district of New York,
occupies a strong position politically.
On the unofficial list of the members
of the Sixtieth congress his name has
been placed as a democrat. Mr. Por-
ter does not wish to be considered a
democrat. He claims he is a repub-
lican, and he is trying hard to have
his name placed with the republicans.
The democrats insist that he must
wear a democratic tag, whether he
votes with them or not. He has the
curious position of being a man with
out a party. He repudiates one, and
the other will not have him. What
the outcome of the contention will be
remains to be seen.
Mr.. Porter defeated Representa-
tive Wadsworth of ''beef trust fame
He was nominated by a democratic
convention Then he was indorsed
by the independent league. Later he
circulated a petition and was nomi-
mated as an independent. He con-
Quoted a vigorous campaign, and he
feels that his election was due to the
revolt of the regular republicans, and
for that reason he wants to be known
as a republican. Probably the most
potent reason for his contention is
the hope that if recognized as a re-
publican he may get ONE of the
patronage. Otherwise, he will get
lone. c. S. A.

OFFICER TOO SHORT
So He Ordered Front Rank to kneeI 80 That He Could See Over Their
 Heads
MUTINY FOLLOWED THE ORDER

Portsmouth, Eng, Nov 5.--A mu- tlnous outbreak on the part of five hundred to six hundred sailors last night necessitated the immediate mobilization of the entire force in the naval barracks here in order to pre- vent the affair from developing into q serious mutiny. The men had as sembled in the gymnasium when the senior officer. man of short statue wishing to administer reprimand for breach of discipline, ordered the front ranks to kneel so that he could see the men in the rear. The order was resented, some of the sailors who refused to obey, were arrested. Their comrades aggrieved, ran amuck, wrecked the cantecn and other prem ises, started to break out of barracks with the intention of wrecking he quarters of the obnoxious officer, and were only prevented from doing so by the fixed bayonets of an over whelming force. A number of the men who attempted 10 break out Of barracks were also arrested.

DOUBT ABOUT NEXT HOUSE
Although Roosevelt is More Than Anxiou. That It Will Remain
 Republican.

Washington, Nov 5. = Official Washington is looking forward to the result of the election in forty two states tomorrow with many evi- denccs of anxious interest. The president is most keenly concerned in the outcome in New York state where, through Secretary Root, he has made known his attitude regard ing the situation. The president is particularly anxious too, that the next house shall be of his political faith, SO that he shall not be ham pered in the prosecution of his poli- cIes. Although the republicans are willing to admit that the democrats are to make gains over their present representation In congress. yet they do not concede the former all they are claiming.
 Only the democratic congressional committee has maintained headquart- CTS in Washington, and this fact makes the local element largely de pendent upon outside sources for the 'straws'' which show the way the political wind Is blowing.

Moran, candidate for governor in Massachusetts, in letter to District Attorney Jerome. that story. treat ing of alleged bribery by what he termed the tobacco trust" had been suppressed and would not be pub lished until after election:
 That is pure rot. It is true that we are to publish history of the tobacco trust, and that history will be the story of the trust from its beginning to the present day. It Is also true that part of the story will deal with the influencing of leg islation by the trust. We are very sorry that the story was not ready for publication some time ago, for we would have been very glad to publish it before election"

THE MOOSE FOR BAILEY Jadgo Wheeler To-Day Sentenced Hin to Be Hupg on April 16,
 1907
HE TOOK SENTENCE CALMLY

Middletown, Nov 5.-Henry C.. Bailey. who murdered George Fl. Goodale, the fish peddler, at the lat ter's home on July 6 last, was sen fenced to be hanged on April 16, 1907, by Judge George w. Wheeler in the superior court to-day. Coun- sel for Bailey, after sentence had been passed. announced that mo- tion for a new trial would be made as soon as possible.
 Bailey, who took the sentence calmly. was brought from the county jail in Haddam handcuffed between two deputies and he cooiy smoked | cigar until the county building was reached. After a short consultation between Judge Donahue, Bailey's counsel, and State Attorney Haynes, the prisoner was brought to the bar and asked if he wished to say any thing He said he did not, whereup- on Judge Wheeler passed sentence. Bailey then had short talk with his wife and he was taken to state prison on an early afternoon train. H.3 nerve, which had been good since the day he was arrested for the crime. held out to the last, there be- ing no signs of the breakdown on the part of the murderer.
 Bailey murdered and robbed Good ale after fight in Goodaie's house on the 9th of July and the pedal sr's body was not found until July 3. In the meantime Bailey had secured a good start on the authorities and it was not until several days later that he was caught in Canada just over the border at Niagara Falls. He pro tested that he struck the fatal blow in self defense.
 MIddlesex county has been re- markedly free from first degree mur- ders, this being the second one in the county during. the last sixty years. The last hanging occurred on June 20, 1844, when Lucien Hall of Meriden was hanged for the mur- der of Mrs Elizabeth Bacon on Sep tember 24, 1S43. The indictment returned by the grand jury charged Hall with having beaten and stabbed Mrs Bacon. Charged with aiding and abetting the crime were William H. Bell of Middletown and Bethuel Roberts. These two were given prison sentences. The trial of the men was in the old Methodist church on the site of the present structure and the hanging occurred at the jail located in this city. The trial was presided over by Judge Thomas s. Williams.
