LIBBIE GARRABRANT
is SEEN IN PUBLIC

PATERSON, Oct. 3:-Libbie Gar
rabrant made her first appearance
publicly in Paterson Monday since
her release from the state prison,
where she was serving a life term for
the murder of Ransom F. Burroughs.
She called at the Passaic county
court house to thank Orrin Wander
hoven, a veteran editor and Passaic
county librarian, for the interest he
had taken in her case.
Mr.. Vanderhoven kept up the fight
for the release of Libbie Garrabrant
for years. There were tears in the
eyes OF Miss Garrabrant as she ex-
pressed her gratitude.
Since her release Miss Garrabrant
has been living quietly with friends
on the outskirts of the city. She has
regained the color in her cheek. The
prison pallor is gone and she seems
to be enjoying the full happiness of
her freedom, after more than thirty
years confinement behind prison
walls.

WIFE : :
DENIES ALL.
Is Not Seeking a Divorce from
the New York Senator,
She Says.

HIGHLAND MILLS, N. Y, Oct. g.
After denying that she had filed or in
tended to file a suit for separation or
divorce against her aged husband, Mrs.
Thomas G. Plat gave an interview to
reporters at her home in Tioga Lodge
in which she charged the family of Sem
ator Plat with c~onspiring to ruin her
good name and threatened a war of re-
prisal.
Il am II of the most abused women
alive she burst forth. Il have been
Inundated, scorned, sneered at and in
suited ever since my marriage to Sena-
tor Plat. His relatives have never
given me a moments rest from their
prosecutions.
This story that has been printed
bringing my name and that of Hedges,
my coachman, together is nothing more
than a cunning plot to ruin me. They
point out the fact that Mr.. Hedges was
a guest or the San Francisco trip.
Well, what Of it? 1t was Senator Platt
that wanted him.
Il an not making up this story. L
can prove everything. There are lots
of Mae Woods in this affair-dozens
of them.
"Now, 1 don't think it is necessary to
say much more, except that | blame
Senator Platt's relatives more than
himself. He is a feeble old man, phys
ically very infirm, but his head is all
right.
HE kne perfectly well what he was
doing when he married me, and he told
me nothing would do but that l must
be his wife. He said that other sena-
tors had beautiful wives, and he want
ed one.
But 1 am not a weakling. Every
body who has had a hand in persecut-
ing me will suffer for this. Not con-
tent with bounding me they tried TO
ruin my daughters reputation. but !
was not caught mapping, and 500 Mr..
Carmody and his friends will learn
that they have contrived to set them
selves against a tigress, not a lamb, as
they thought"
Fearing a suit for divorce and in or
der to preclude his wife from obtaining
a large settlement, Senator Thomas G.
Platt has, it is said, in the last few
months decided away nearly all his for
tune,

FRESHMEN in
CONVENTION
United Irish League of America
Assembled Stirring Words
from John Redmond.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-The ad-
dress of Colonel John +. Finnerty OF
Chicago, president of the United Irish
League of America, at the opening SEES
sion here of that organizations conven-
vention was the important feature OF
the a~ssembly's business.
The resolutions committee has for
mulated what John O'Callaghan, the
national secretary, terms 1.-The message
that will express to England the selti-
ment not only of rlsh-Americans, but
OF the entire Irish race"
After the address of welcome by
Mayor Weaver to the assembled dele
gates, of whom there are nearly a thou
sand, a cablegram from John Redmond
was read.
John Redmond's cablegram said:
Il deeply regret being prevented by
the critical political situation from at
tending the convention. Rely upon my
continued support of Irlsh-America for
united, independent, pledge bound par
ty and for policy approved by five
sixths of the Irish people. Ireland was
never more united, determined and
hopeful"
The convention sent the following
cablegram to Mr.. Redmond:
Omitted Irish League of America, as
sembled in convention in Philadelphia,
sends heartfelt greetings to kindred in
Ireland and to leaders of Irish parlia-
mentary party. We pledge united and
hearty support of this organization to
the pledge bound and united party
working under John Z. Redmond's
leadership for Irish national self gov
eminent"
President Finnerty's address was an
oratorical effort that aroused the dele
gates to a high pitch of enthusiasm,
and equally gratifying to the conven-
ton was the report of Secretary OfCal-
laghan. The report stated that the
pledge made by the organization at it's
convention in New York two years ago
to raise $4,000 to aid Mr.. Redmond
and his colleagues had not only been
fulfilled, but that upward of $4,000
had been sent ''to sustain the national
war chest in Ireland"
Continuing, the report stated:
"When our last convention met the
Tory government commanded by a ma
jority of more than Il hundred votes in
the British house of commons in opro-
sition to the will of the Irish people.
Today that majority has been shat
tered and it's leaders are without a

TJ-SHUT Down
ON LICENSES.
Judge BOOraem Announces that
He Will Grant No More Dur
Ing This Term.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW bhUNo WIN, Oct. g.
Judge Booraem made the announce
ment at court yesterday that he
would grant no more new licenses at
this term of court. The announce
ment came as a great surprise to the
many applicants and some made haste
to withdraw their applications before
they were refused by the court. Judge
Booraem takes this action because he
thinks the county at present has a
sufficient number of licensed places.
or course this will not bind his action
at any future term of court, but at
present he is of the opinion that the
county is well supplied in the matter
OF saloons and the demand can be
well met.
One of the applications considered
yesterday was that of Thomas Allen,
who wanted a license for the place
formerly kept by Edmund Busch, at
Metuchen. WMGross, of Fords, owns
the place, and he was recently en-
joined from using the term, 'Me-
tuchen Inn," to designate his place,
on objection being made by Busch,
who runs q. temperance house there
under that hame. Allen lives at
Plainfield and was represented by w.
A. Spencer8who is or has appeared on
former occasions as attorney for Mr..
Gross. Lawyers G. S. Silzer and Adj
rian Lyon aappeared against the ap-
p~licant, Lawyer Silzer for Mr.. Busch
and Lawyer Lyon for other remon-
strants..
Allen was put o nthe stand and de-
clared he did not own the property
for which he applied for license.
Judge Booraem at once refused the
petition. The following applications
were also refused;
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Massino, J.
Weygand. $Wps0
South Rfver-Stef Howarth.
Roosevelt-John Ruegg.
Madison-Jerry e. harrington.
These were withdrawn:
Peter Tangretti and Emil Kauf-
man, of Woodbridge; Solomon Ball
sum, of Piscataway.
A transfer of the license of w. S.
Apologize at Cranbury to M. H. Lam
base was granted as was the whole
sale application of Herman Shapiro,
of Woodbridge.

BREAK STRIKE
IN SHIPYARDS
Employers in New York Take
Steps to End the Trouble
Union Not Strong.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The hrst
contingent of strike breakers arrived
yesterday from Norfolk, Va, to take
the places of the shipwrights VINO
went on strike on Monday IN the
yards of the New York and New Jer-
sey branch of the National Metal
Trades Association. The strike Is not
expected to be followed by sympathet-
ic strikes of the other marine trades
as the ~shipwrlghts' union is an inde-
pendent organization.
This is the first general strike OF
the shipwrights, who have up 10 the
present gained demands from time to
time without a strike. There are now
about 500 men in the union, which
had a membership at one time OF
5000 and is one of the Oldest in New
York. 1t is a successor of the SHIP
wrights' guild and still keeps up the
name of %shipwright, though the mel
working at the trade are 0 known
as ship carpenters.
Although the other marine trades
will not likely be drawn into the
strike, they take an interest in 1t and
will respond to any appeal for imam
cial assistance. 1t was said yester-
day that the union is not only on
strike for higher wages, but by strik-
ing has been brought to face a fight
for its existence. The employers de-
cided that they will employ ship car
penters henceforth on the open shop
basis only.
Henry C. Hunter, secretary OF the
Metal Trades Association, said yester-
day that some of the strike breakers
had been put to work and a few of the
old men had returned, but not enough
to indicate that the strikers would
give in as a body without a long fight.
One of the employers said:
with the decline of wooden YES
sells the trade of the shipwright be-
gan to decline. They were at one
time a very strong body. There is
still work for the shipwrights in the
building of lighters, boats and small
craft, but their principal work is re-
pairing the large wooden vessels
which arrive here from other
tries. OF late there has been more or
less of a revival of the building of
wooden craft for carrying freight.
The competition with other cities,
however, makes it impossible for us
to grant the demand for 81 a day and
the Saturday half holiday"
If the strike continues for a week
or SO the ship calkers, it was said,
will be thrown idle. The employers
depend on getting strike breakers
here in sufficient numbers, however,
to keep the calkers busy.
Several ships in the Erie Basin will
have to wait for repairs owing to the
The Fall River Line steam
ship Puritan has been undergoing
for some time in the dock of
the Erie Basin Dry Dock Company.
One of the strikers said that unless
the company grants the demands soon
she will likely be removed to some
other yard.
The boiler makers, blacksmiths
and others working in the shipyards
have been working on the open shop
basis for some years. While the ship
wrights up to the present strike have
had no general agreement with the
of shipyards their union has
been recognized by the employers in
dividually.

SINCLAIR COLONY TO
BE IN NEW JERSEY.

It's all off with Connecticut, Long
Island and the Bronx, which have
been in hot competition with New
Jersey for Upton Sinclair's co-opera-
tive servantless home colony. Jersey
gets it. The site committee have
planked down a deposit for Helicon
hall, formerly a juvenile educational
institution upo on the Palisades near
Englewood.
The glad news hadn't permeated
very generally through E~nglewood
last night, because the deal wasn't
put through until late yesterday af-
ternoon, when Mr.. Sinclair, Edwin S.
Potter and Ellis o. Jones met John
W. Craig, who has been conducting a
boys school in Helicon hall for some
years, and made arrangements to buy
the place. The tidings got to Engle-
woods exclusive colony of bank pres
idents, brokers, big and little trust
magnates and pork packers and pro-
duced a shock. They didn't enthuse
ove the idea of having Upton Sinclair
up on the hill beside them where he
could peek down and see everything
that was going on. Half of the rest
of Englewood was disposed to throw
out it's chest over the advent of a
heavy consignment of brains which
will raise the mental avoirdupois OF
the town away above everything else
in the state, except possibly Prince
ton. The other half acted just like
any rural community would when II
heard that a circus was going to come
and stay all winter.

conditions are, to an observer, very

and on the other sides conduits are
being used. 1t is understood that
the inspectors yesterday told the men
to stop work. In spite of that fact,
the work was in full blast there to-
