The most outrageous thing about
the Frelinghuysen automobile bill is
the nerve of the residents of other
statOes going down to Trenton and
trying to tell those elected to repre-
sent the people of New Jersey what
they should do and should not do.
In the eyes of the automobile owners
of New York and Pennsylvania, New
Jersey is just a big park with hand
some drives laid out for their special
benefit. They permit people to live
along these drives if they keep out
of the way and don't bother the au-
toists. 1t would not be surprising if
these New Workers. eventually decid-
ed to put up signs reading, Keep Of
the Highways" throughout New Jer-
sey. Then if a Jerseyman should be
run down or killed it would be his
own fault for he had fair warning
There is no doubt but that the auto
mobile has come to stay, but other
vehicles and pedestrians have not dis
appeared entirely.

STRANGE WITNESS
IN THAW SCRAPE
A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN OVER 40
YEARS OLD VISITS DISTRICT AT
ToRNEYs OFFICE. AND HER
IDENTITY is CONCEALED.

New York, July 24-Much speculation
was caused at the district attorneys Of
fee late this afternoon by the appearance
there of new witness in the Thaw case
whose identity none of the officials con-
cerned would make known. She was a
woman past 20 years OF age. She came
to the criminal court building in COM
pany with p. l.. Bergoff. the detective
whom Stanford White employed when he
is said to have feared injure from Thaw
The detective and the woman went to
the office of Assistant District Attorney
Turnbull, where they were closeted for
an hour a stenographer being In atten-
dance.
A great deal Of attention seemed to
be paid TO the woman and her appearance
so late in the day WAS taken TO mean that
she had something of Importance to con-
tribute TO the district attorneys case
When she went out she was escorted not
only by Bergoff. who came with her. but
by policeman attached to the district
attorneys staff
The order issued by supreme court Jus
tice Blachard at the request of Thaws
attorneys, restraining the district attor-
ney from issuing further subpoenas in the
investigation. does not, apparently, affect
the examination of voluntary witnesses,
such as this woman appeared TO be.

AL LEAST NINE ARE
KILLED IN LAKE
ENGINE IN WASHINGTON RESTS

1T WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS
TO RECOVER BODIES.

Spokane. Wash. July 24.-At least nine
persons are believed to have perished in
the wreck of the Great Northern Pacific
passenger train No. g. westbound, near
Camp Washington, yesterday evening. 1t
Is stated that two more bodies of un-
known men are under the wreekage at
the bottom Of Diamond lake.
Only two bodies. those of G. II. Curtis
and T. j. Dolbow. passengers both of
Spokane have recovered. The engine is
believed to be about sixty or seventy
feet under water. and the bodies of En-
gineer Munson and Fireman Bell may not
be recovered for days. It is thought the
mail and baggage cars, with the bodies of
Mail Clerk Donner and Baggageman
Strickland, may be recovered before night.
The wreck probably was caused by ex-
cessive speed on down grade at a
curve. The theory is advanced that the
engine may have got beyond the engi-
neer's control.

washington. July 2A-(speciaD. The
announcement from oyster Bay that the

In the coming congressional campaign
was good news at the headquarters Of

committee here.
The managers OF the democratic cam
paign were afraid the President would In
sist that Speaker Cannon and his army
OF congressional spellbinders should go
out, and, on the authority. of the Presi-
dent. make some definite promise of tariff
notifications.
Getting Tired Of "stand Pat"
The democratic committee has been re-
ceiving reports from various parts of the
country, all to the effect that the people
are not inclined to support the stand
pat" pelicy much longer It is the de-
cision Of the democratic committee to
push the tariff issue.
1t is pretty well understood here that
the republicans do not count so much on
the tariff as on President Roosevelt's S
record Congressman who went away
from washington less than month ago
privately saying unkind things of the
President, are now appealing for re-elec-
tion "for Roosevelt" So it is evident
that the campaign cry will be stand by
Roosevelt" rather than stand by the
tariff" Many of the republican members
of Congress who are UP for reelection
dare not go before their constituents on
a stand pat tariff platform.
Devoted TO Labor Situation.
1t is pretty well understood here that
the conferences OF puplican leaders at
Oyster BAY yeslerca vas devoted almost
entirely to the labor situation. II Com.
perf and his followers can get anythins
ike solid labor vote at his command
It will, In nearly every case, be cast
against the republican congressman, who
under the leadership Of Speaker Cannon
stood against every thing the labor peo-
pie wanted in the last Congress. For the
last ten years the republicans have done
as they pleased with the labor vote in
states where they needed 1t. Politicians
are wondering II they can do the same
this year and two years hence.
