CHIEF MAKES EXCISE ARREST

The city didn't go entirely dry yester-
day, and a few excise arrests were
made. The most important was that
made by Chief of Police Murphy, who
arrested William August, proprietor of
the white Front" No. 180 Newark
avenue. The Chief was on his way
from his home in Fourth street to Police
Headquarters, and in passing the saloon
in question he was astonished to see
from the street the proprietor in his shirt
sleeves serving customers across the bar.
The front door was locked, but the Chief,
entering an adjacent hallway found easy
access to the saloon. Five customers
were drinking. The Chief placed Au-
gust under al4est and leading him out
he handed him over to Policeman May
pother, who was on post. He ordered
the policeman to take August to the sta
ton house and also to report why his
the policeman's-ey eyesight was not as
good as that of the Chief. This is the
third excise arrest that the Chief has
personally made since the excise law
went into effect.

Essex Assembly Democratic
Nominees Still Favor
Woodrow Wilson for
United States Senator
REFUSE TO ENDORSE STEVENS
so DECIDED AT CONFERENCE
HELD SATURDAY NIGHT ~
MANY ESSEX DEMOCRATS
STILL FAVOR THE COLONEL S
CANDIDACY.

Just what game the Essex County
Democratic Assembly nominees have up
their sleeve is not apparent on the sur
face. In spite of the fact that Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson of the Princeton
University has twice told the eleven
Democratic Assembly nominees of our
sister county that he would under no
consideration be a candidate for United
States Senator they refuse to take No
for an answer. President Wilson's rea-
sons as given for declining to make the
run We're that he wished to complete
nection with the University and that
his health was failing. These reasons
do not apparently satisfy the Essex
Democratic nominees.
The eleven nominees got together
Saturday night and passed the following
resolution
We. the Democratic candidates for
General Assembly of Essex County,
unanimously pledge ourselves that, in
the event of our election, our choice for
United States Senator from the State of
New Jersey will be DIR. Woodrow Wiz
son, President OF Princeton Univefsi
We take this action without any reser-
vation, believing that in Dr.. Wilson the
State of New Jersey will have a Senator
who viii bring to the Senate the purity
of purpose and the high intellectual pow
ers which will add honor and prestige
not only to New Jersey but to the en-
tire nation.
We believe that DR.. Wilson will obey
the voice of his party and, as loyal
Democrat, truthfully serve his country
and his party in the highest legislative
body in our nation.
The meeting was a continuation of the
conference held on Tuesday night of last
week, at which the plan of endorsing
DR.. Wilson was considered. At the or
iginal conference it was deemed best to
take no action, as Col. d. A. Stevens.
the choice of Hudson Democracy, and an
ayowed candidate for the United States
Senator, had been invited to be guest
of the Democratic League of Essex at a
IeSSpLlol Ou IuuiSuds ulkHt. vi tAdt
occasion Col. Stevens, who had not even
sought the honor of becoming Senator
ial nominee, advised the Democrats to
unite upon one Senatorial candidate, as
he believed it would give the fight for
control of the Legislature better stand
ing with the voters.
Many Essex County Democrats favor
Col. Stevens candidacy and tride hard to
secure his endorsement.

WHITE s0x THE CHAMPIONS.
Take Four Games From Cubs and Are
Now World Beaters.

Take Four Games From Cubs and Are
Now World Beatere.
Chicago, Oct. 15.-The Chicago club
of the American Baseball league,
known wherever baseball is discussed
as the White Sox, is the champion of
the world By winning two games in
succession by scores of to s and to
8 against the team of the National
league the Americans earned the right
to float the worlds championship pen
nant as we'll as the pennant of the
American league, to ride to the grounds
next season in carriages and to have
Worlds Champions lettered on the
blankets worn by their horses.
That the victory was fairly earned
is shown not only by the fact that the
Americans won four. out of six games,
incidentally making 1t unnecessary to
play the seventh, but by the hits and
runs. The Americans all told made %
runs compared with IS by the Nation
ais. They made 80 base hits as against
81 for the Nationals The Nationals,
however made but five errors compared
with fourfeen by the Americans.
Among the expert critics Of baseball
it is generally admitted that to the
American pitchers, White, Walsh and
Altrock, most Of the credit is due, de-
spite the fact that the American pitch
ers have but 26 strikeouts. to their
credit against 35 for the Nationals.

Two Dead In New York Fire.


New York, Oct. 15.-Two persons kill
ed, one desperately injured and many
others slightly hurt was the result of a
small fire, supposed to be of incen-
diary origin, in five story negro tene-
ment house on Christopher street. The
dead are Mrs. Eta De Lyons, who was
suffocated by smoke, and Mrs. Ruth
Tyson who jumped from the top floor
to the. sidewalk. The fire originated
in wood cellar and, making its way
through the ground floors, shut off the
main exit from the building. When
the fremen arrived the tenants were
dropping from fire escapes and win
dows in reckless fright. Mrs. Tyson
leaped from fire escape and was in
stantly killed.

Cabinet For Island.
Havana, Oct. 15-Charles e. Ma
goon's first day as governor of Cuba
passed busily, but quietly. The pal
ace was singulariy still compared with
the eventful days of the past regime.
Governor Magoen sees no reason to
anticipate further sudden changes i'll
the situation or any especially sensa-
tional incident. He is rather of the
opinion that new governmental mat
ters will be of the commonplace or
der.
He has announced his decision tc
postpone appointing cabinet officers in
definitely He means to consider thor
oughly the conditions and needs of
each department and can do so bet
ter by having subordinate heads re-
port directly to himself.

miral Schley, with troops and artillery,
have arrived The troops have gone
to Camp Columbia.
General Bell intends to distribute a
battalion of engineers throughout the
island to correct and complete the

SARATOGA IN BAD SHAPE.
Hudson River Boat Ramnned by the
Adirondack In Dangerous Condition.


Adirondack In Dangerous Condition.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Oct. 10. A
large force of men We're engaged in
removing the cargo Of the steamer Sar-
atoga, which was run into by the
steamer Adirondack at Cruger's island,
near Tivoli, early Saturday morning
and which now lies on Hogsback
shoals in dangerous condition. The
freight was transferred to two big
lighters for removal to Troy.
An effort was made to locate the
steamers port boiler, which ssas knock
ed into the river during the collision,
but the effort was of no avail. Presi-
dent ingalls, of the Citizens line was
at the scene of the river wreck all day
experimenting the work. The steamer
will be pontooned and taken to Green
point to be repaired
The body Of George e. Horton, the
Adirondack freight clebx, who was
thrown into the river, has not been re-
covered. Coroner Carroll will hold an
inquest at Barrytown, when he will
take the testimony of the officers and
members of the crews of both steamers
concerning the death of Clarence Sher-
man, an oiler of the Saratoga, killed
in the collision.
It will be several days before the
officials of the steamboat lines operat-
Ing the Adirondack and Saratoga will
be able definitely to inventory the dam
age done when the two palace steam
ers crashed together The Adirondack,
while more fortunate than the Sarato-
ga, has about seventy-five feet of her
port side completely torn away, and it
will take considerable time to restore
her former graceful outlines. In addi-
tion to the vast damage to the boats
thousands of dollars worth of freight
went overheard. The small loss of life
is considered marvellous.

kutoist Wreoi<e Own Machine Rather

Than Hun Down Another.
Central Valley, N. T., Oct. 15.-Dash-
ing in runaway automobile down the
Snake road, which winds over a dizzy
ledge of the Ramapo mountains, with
sheer drop Of 100 fest to the valley be-
low, and finding his pathway blocked
by another automobile containing Miss
Cutting, daughter of r. Fulton Cutting,
and a friend, Louis Lieber, to avoid
collision that would be almost eer-
tainly fatal, threw his own life into
the balance and was killed.
AS he rounded sharp curve on the
steep descent at express train speed,
Lieber saw the Cutting landauIet
climbing the mountain road just a
short distance below. Instantly he
reached his courageous determination
and acted. He jammed the emergency
brake on tight, ripping the machine to
scrap iron and throwing tae heavy car
10 the right about. But its momentum
was not to be arrested, and it skidded
to the outside edge of the road, struck
a bowlder and threw a somersauit. pin
ming Lieber in the wreckage.
The high powered landaulet in which
Miss Cutting and young woman
friend were climbing the tortuous road
on their way home to Tuxedo Park
from Central Valley, was driven by
chauffeur named Dunn. They had no
warning of danger until Liebes's run
away racing car whirle1 into sight
from above coming at teztific speed.
Chauffeur Dunn also acted instantly.
He shouted wildly to Miss Cutting and
her friend to hold on for their lives,
and, applying full power, he sent the
big landaulet crashing through the
rocks and underbrush up the mountain
side until it swerved against a tree
and was held there by the axle of one
of the front wheels.
Lieber regained consciousness for a
brief moment when the wrecked car
was lifted from his body He looked
about him and asked, "Are the ladies'
safer" in a voice that sank to a whis-
per. Then he relapsed into unconscious
ness. He probably died without re-
alizing that the two cars had not
crashed together.

THOUSAND CHINESE BURNED.
Britirk Immigrant Steamer Set on Fire
at Honakona.

Hongkong. Oct 15.-More than 1000
Chinese are believed to have perished
when tlsS British steamer Hankow was
burne1 10 the waters edge beside her
pier here. The crew and seven Eu-
ropean passengers v ere saved, but q
valuable cargo of silk and mating was
destroyed. 1t is believed the fire was
of incendiary origin and was the out
growsh of a Chinese boycott against
British river boats.
The Chinese passengers were all of
the steerage class and were below
when the outbreak of fire occurred.
They We're thrown into frightfuI panic
and rushed up and down the lower
decks seeking way of escape. On
account of the inflammable nature of
the cargo. which consisted of raw
silk and mating. the ship was blazing
from her upper deck to the waters
edge within five minutes after the first
alarm. Hundreds of Chinese were
burned to death in their berths, scores
fell into the blazing hold and hundreds
jumped overheard in despair and were
drowned
The seven European passengers,
awakened by the captain, rushed from
their cabins in their night clothes and
were taken of the burning ship. The
crew made futile efforts to check the
flames, but could make no impression
on them and were forced to fly for
their lives and leave the Chinese to
their fate.
When the flames died out there was
nothing left of the Hankow but the
lower part of the hull. Lying in the
bottom of the boat the searchers came
upon whole families huddled together
where death had overtaken them.
Many were only singed showing that
they had died from suffocation.
AT the bottom Of the gangway lead
ing to the main deck there were scores
of bodies of men and women who had
fought fiercely to escape up the stairs.
They evidently had rushed there in
panic at the first outbreak and on ac.
count of their numbers were unable to
climb the gangway.
