EDGEWATER PARK, Nov. H.
Much interest is now being taken in
the political question in this section
in regard to the United States sena-
torship.
When General Grub, our former
minister to Spain, was interviewed on
the subject, he said: Il have nothing
to say for a few days, but will make
a statement to the newspapers later
for the benefit of the public"
The general, as is well known, is
an uncompromising foe to CONNER
cialism in politics and a conspicuous
leader of the New Idea" movement
in South Jersey and the foundfy of
the Lincoln League of Burlington
county and was the first to start the
New Idea" ball rolling in this Sec
ton. He may now possibly be con-
sidered as a dark horse" by proba-

GRANTED A PATENT
FOR CONFETTI BOMB

Albert Howell, proprietor Aof the

ceived word this morning Fl ON the
United States patent office at. Wash
ington, ID. c., that his applica zion for
a patent on a confetti bomb had been
granted. Some time ago Mr.. Howell
purchased the idea from Robert
Kleimandt, who also invented the
well-known confetti canno O.. Mr..
Howell at once applied for g patent
on the bomb, which is considered a
novelty. Had Mr.. Howell ipplied a
few days later his Applicant ON would
not have been considered, rs a man
named Strauss, of New York, pre-
| scented a similar device onlyi two days
after the one from Mr.. Ho well had
been recorded, it is decl Al ed. Al
though undecided, the patantee may
form a company and manufacture
the bomb on a large scale The nov
city is very simple, and consists OF
a ball of tissue paper containing con-
fetti, in the center of which is a small
cap. Attached to the bomb Is a
string. When the bomb is thrown
the person holds the string, winch
explodes the ball of confetti over the
person it is thrown at. Mr.. howell
says the bomb is perfectly harmless
+, and that he expects to place Ut on
the market soon.

DELMAS CUWES
TO SAVE THAW
Noted Western Lawyer Will De-
fend Harry K. Thaw -Wife's
Story Sure TO Sway Jury.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw holds the life of her husband
at her command. or at least this Is
said to be the belief of Dolphin NJ.
Delmas of California, the eminent law
yer who has been retained for $780,
600 to conduct the defense of Harry
Thaw IN his trial for killing Stanford
White.
Thaw and his counsel, according TO
information in the hands of the dis
trict attorney, believe that she holds
the key of the situation and that by
going on the stand and giving testi-
mony to prove that her husband was
justified in shooting White she will be
able to sway the jury to acquit him.
Mr.. Delmas, who has won fame as
the Napoleon of the Pacific coast
barr said he was sure Thaw would
be saved by pleading the higher" or
''unwritten' law.
District Attorney Jerome has fixed
Dec. 3 as the date for the trial before
Recorder Golf or Judge Greenbaum in
the supreme court.
Judge Delmas called ON his client in
the Tombs and for the first time heard
from the lips of Harry Thaw the story
of the killing of Stanford White as
Thaw looks at the tragedy and as he
desires the jury to look at it.
1t is reported in circles in which Har-
ry Thaw moved before the tragedy
that outside of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
not more than half a dozen witnesses
will be called for the defense. They
will testify that Thaw was driven to
the verge of insanity by revelations
concerning the relations existing be-
tween Stanford White and Evelyn
Thaw.
In cases similar to Thaw's, in which
he has been engaged by Mrs. William
Thaw, Judge Delmas has successfully
invoked the 'unwritten law" That
will be the Thaw defense, The killing
of Stanford White, according to the in
formation of the prosecution, will be
justified by Judge Delmas upon the
sworn confession, it is said, of Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw.
Under the skilled stage management
of a lawyer of the experience of Judge
Delmas the dramatic possibilities of
such Il defense may he imagined.

WOULD REMOVE MUD BAR
Elizabeth Shipping Endangered Gov
eminent May Dredge Sound.

ELIZABETH, Nov. 14:-The
stranding of the Nordpol, the vessel
that brought to this city a large cargo
of old iron from the Panama Canal
for the Kaufman Brothers, on the bar
opposite Shooter Island, has directed
attention to the necessity of dredging
the eastern end of the channel to
Staten Island sound. The Nordpol
was the largest vessel that ever came
through Elizabeth bay, but it is
known that much smaller ships
would be in the same danger. The
Nordpol had to wait till high tide be-
fore she was floated.
Considerable dredging has been
done near Sewaren lately, and it is
now the plan to have the Federal
government send the dredgers to the
eastern end of the sound to dig a
deeper channel. The point of Staten
Island extends in a long mud fiat foI
a considerable distance at that point.
and in following the old channel yes
sells have to steer wide of this point
going east and then turn in again to
get through the waterway separating
Shooter Island from Staten Island.

rector, who at the time of his death
