Emporia, Kan, Dec. SC. A. Stan
nards member of the coming Iegfsla-
ture and a member of the railroad
committee in the last legislature. will
be a candidate for speaker of the house
of Representatives. 1t is understood
that he is favored especially by Senator
Benson, who practically named Stan
nard's brother as senator from Frank
lin county last month to succeed the
late Senator Smith. Stubs. Bristow
and Murdoch are said to be satisfied
with Stannard and the friends of Curtis
in this congressional district are also
lining up for Stannard. Concerning
his candidacy Mr.. Stannard said last
night
Il am not pledged in any way to any
senatorial candidate, and, while l de-
sire the friendship of all the senatorial
candidates, / do not want my candidacy
to be back by any one or any cOmbina-
ton of them, in the hope or with the
feeling that may organize the house

been the man to whom the anti-Curtis
people have been inclined to turn, but

STANDARDS candidacy probably
means that he will get the support OF

Stubs and Bristow have been in To-

announcement is probably the result
of their conferences. It now seems in

MURDER CASE DEATH REPORTS
IS ON TODAY. ARE DIFFERENT.
Thomas Dade on Trial for His
Life for Shooting at Cliff
Wood.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Apr 25.-
The trial of Thomas Dade, colored,
for the murder of Joseph Morton,
another negro, at Cliffwood, October
1, is on today before Justice Fort
Edward Dorsey, of Perth Amboy, and
Jas. Doley, of Woodbridge, are mem
bers of the jury. Dade is represent
ed by c. 7. Cowenhoven. Because
some of the witnesses had been sum-
moned by error for tomorrow, some
testimony was waived, including the
killing, the autopsy and the produc-
ton of the revolver. Prosecutor Ber-
dine announced that an effort would
be made in the case to show self-de-
fense. The prosecutor outlined the
events leading up to the shooting.
Dade and Morton with their wives
met at the Matawan station two days
before the shooting and became en-
gagged in wrangle. The following
day the men met at a restaurant and
continued the quarrel, during which
Dade addressed some Objectionable
language about Morton's wife. The
following day Dade was passing Nor
tons house with his wife when Nor
ton hailed him and asked why he had
made certain remarks about Mrs.
Morton. A row ensued and Morton
was fatally shot.
The first witness called was Fred
C. Snyder, city engineer of New
Brunswick, who made maps of the To-
cality of the shooting. Charles Mon
Afghan, who photographed the houses,
was the next witness. The third wit
ness was Mrs. Mollie Morton, the
murdered mans widow. She told OF
the quarrel and said that the last
words she heard her husband say
were the following uncompleted SEN
tence: tom, what did" She ac-
knowledged on cross examination
that her husband had two revolvers
in the house that day and cartridges
in his pocket. One revolver was
newly bought, and the other was Sc
cured in trade. Louis Overton, col
ored. who was a boarder at Morton S
house, and who has been kept in Jail
under pay of fifty cents a day, was
the next witness called, and he was
still on the stand at noon.

promiscuous shootings of the past five
days.

street, and that a sewer would be nee
essary in Sheridan street in the near
future. He brought out the point
that the gully route would be longer
and more roundabout. He said that
one reason the Pardees would like
the sewer in the gully is that it would
help fill the gully He also spoke OF
the mud which would be encountered
in the gully, and he referred to set
tling mud in South Second street
which has caused loosening of joints
in the sewer laid there recently. He
declared that he would have no OBJ
lection if it would be cheaper to lay
it in the gully, but his present opin-
ion is otherwise, as concrete and pill
ing are costly. In reply to query
made by Johan Jensen, Mr.. Mundy
said that he believed that there would
be as much mud in one place as in
the other
Question of Engineering.
Judge Lyon said that the question
is one of engineering and that all he
would ask was that estimates be
made and a decision reached accord
ingly, so as TO get the cheaper. Ha
asked that the sewer be not put in
Sheridan street until such an investi-
cation is made. As to the question
of two sewers he said that any sewer
needed in addition to one in the gully
would be only a lateral sewer. He
understood that less piling would be
necessary in the gully than in the
street.
Abel Hansen said that he had sign
ed the original petition because he
understood the aldermen were to
look into the matter and do the work
as cheaply as possible. He stated that
if the sewer could be laid more cheap<
ly in the gully and If the Pardees
would share the cost. the property
owners should be unanimous for it.
Edward Z. Mundy. a Sheridan
street property owner. asked why the
sewer should be laid in the gully
when there is a public street for it.
He spoke of the mud in the gully and
said he has seen it necessary to haul
cattle out of there with rope and tack
le. He said that it would be neces-
sary to cut for 100 feet in some pla-
ces in the gully. and much piling
would be necessary. The people on
the other side of the street, he said,
would need a sewer $50 feet long to
