PREACHER REGARDS EXCISE
AS VOTERS CHEF ISSUE.
Churchmen Should Consider It Before
Everything Else at Polls, the
Rev. L. F. Warner Says.

The Rev. Luther F. Warner, pastor of
the First Protestant Methodist Church. in
Clinton avenue, selected a civic discourse
topic for last evening, 1.-THE Excise Ques-
ton, the Overshadowing Issue He de-
clared that there was no denying that the
excise question was the -overshadowing is
sue during the present political campaign,
so far as the moral and Christian element
in our city and State are concerned.
Although an effort had been made to
relegate the question TO the rear and to
discredit its potency, claiming that other
and more important legislative issues were
of greater import, 1t was impossible. said
Mr.. Warner, TO exclude the excise ques-
ton.
1t was an overshadowing issue, becauEe
the liquor interests threatened the re-
ligious stability of the Sabbath day. and
the moral purity of the home, he said. 1t
was an overshadowing issue because
Christian ideals were being assailed and our
civic tone threatened.
''The excise question is a most absorb
ing one when it's provisions strike at the
righteous observance of one of Gods stern
est commandments" continued Mr..
Warner.
1.-THE church is ~antagonistic to the saloon
because the one engendersS the viciousness
and immortality which the other e%ndeavors
to subdue." He declared that every citizen
should consider the excise question from
its aspect as an overshadowing evil, and
thus base his suffrage, not upon party
lines, but in support of those principles
which harmonized with the ideas, Sabbath
day. Christianized fellowship.

LEADERS IN DEBATE
DISCUSS MUNICIPAL OWN
ERSHIP QUESTION.
Both Sides Thoroughly Argued by
Experts on Economics at Church
of the Redeemer.

The different phases of municipal own
ership were threshed out last night in the
Church of the Redeemer, in a debate be-
tween Professor Frank Parsons, OF Bos-
ton University, president of the Public
Utilities League of the United States, who
argued for municipal ownership, and Ar
thur Fl. Grant, of New York, editor Of
Concerning Municipal Ownership who
took the opposite side.
Professor Parsons and Mr.. Grant will
have twenty-four debates on the subject
In the eastern part of the country. Both
speakers were introduced by the Rev. DR..
Henry R. Rose, pastor of the church.
In the opening Professor Parsons quoted
annual reports of many Of the s~ocalled
most successful municipal plants in this
country n abroad. He aid in part:
ION the whole it appears from our in
.vestigations that municipal ownership ten
ders to make lower rates than private OPP
Grafton In the same localities and under
similar industrial conditions. I find also
that public plants, as a rule. make a great
effort to improve the service, because the
private companies, desiring to make
profits, do not go beyond the best paying
districts as a rule.
Public ownership also tends to increase
the wages of labor, shorten its hours and
leads to lower capitalization"
In rebuttal, Mr.. Grant said:
Take this case in point. This is the
testimony of Mr.. Z. Fl. Moore, Alderman
and chairman of the Huddersfeld tram
way: AS chairman of the oldest system
Of municipal tramways in England, | am
told that In Huddersfield we are wearing
out the third set of rails, yet payment
for the first set Of rails will not be COM
pleted Until 1857. In our capital of e413,0G
there is at least e100.000 for which we can
not produce any asset whatever. and that
is just what they are doing all over Great
Britain; they are replacing the worn-out
material, charging 1t to capital account
and taking it out of earnings.
"It has been shown that municipal own

ticn, while under private ownership service
has been the first thought of the manage
ment. The Glasgow street railway system
could be taken bodily and put down into
a city of the same size In the United
States, and 1t would be putting the State
of New Jersey in the middle of the State

BIG FIGHT IN BAYONME
TO CAPTURE MAYORALTY.
Democrats Confident of ousting Present
Executive-Railroad Favorite
Their Slogan.

BAYONNE. Nov. 4-The Democrats are
making a desperate effort to recapture the
mayoralty, which they lost two years ago,
after having held It for ten years. Mayor
Pierre p. Carver, who won then, is a can
didate for reelection on the Republican
ticket. His opponent is DR.. Archibald c..
Forman. The Democrats claim the city
by from 400 to 500. The Republicans are
equally as confident of winning by from
200 to 500.
During the campaign the Republicans
charged DR.. Forman with representing
the old crowd" which was in power for
ten years previous to the election, two
years ago, of Mayor Garven In retail
alton, the Democrats claimed that Mayor
Garven, being al attorney in the employ
of the New Jersey Central Railroad Com
pany, cannot serve the city and the cor
p%oration at the same time. They also
charged Mayor Garven with having re-
duced the valuation on property owned by
the railroad company one-half as soon as
he had the opportunity.
Mayor Garven's election was aided ma
terially by a statement from his predeces-
sor. Thomas Brady, who denounced the
leaders of his own party. The former
Mayor is one of DIR. Forman's most earn
est supporters and has declared that the
Garven administration has been a failure
and that its time was devoted to adyanc-
ing Republican political interests. The
Democrats believe that DR.. Forman will
receive man Republican votes because of
his action seven years ago when the city
was visited by an epidemic of smallpox.
He was the city physician and by hard
work wiped out the disease, but it cost
him his lucrative practise. which he has
since rebuilt. A lack of harmony among
the Republicans will also help the doctor.
The Democrats figure on controlling the
next Common Council.

BOARD WILL
PROBE
Accused, Left in Station
House Alone, Takes
His Departure.

Someone's carelessness in the First
Precinct station permitted Tony La
carl. an Italian, who conducts a shoe
makers shop in William street, at the
corner of Nicholson, to walk right out
of the assembly room on Saturday
night, while four young girls, who ac-
cuse the shoemaker of a serious crime,
sat in Acting-Captain Caffrey's office
relating their story. The police board
will this afternoon take up the case, as
Lacari is still missing, and though a
thorough search has been made for
him, the police have been unable to
catch him.
That some of the officials blundered
in not having him locked up instead of
placed under guard is evident, and who
ever is responsible will be brought be-
fore the board on charges. There
seems to be an attempt to shift the re-
sponsibility. Patrolman Richard Schott,
who is on vacation, heard the charges
made against Lacari by the little girls
Saturday night and sent for the patrol
wagon.
Lacari was arrested and was not
slated by Sergeant Mcclellan, who was
then on duty. Instead the man was
brought before Aeting-Captain Caffrey
and hen efforts were made to locate
the girls who made the charges. Plain
clothes Policeman King brought the
man down stairs to the assembly room
and told Doorman Jacob Sichler to
watch the man as he was a prisoner.
No word was left with Mcclellan and
he new nothing of the presence of the
Italian in the assembly room until he
went off duty for the night at 6 o'clock.
Casually he happened to walk in the
assembly room and seeing the man
there asked him what he was doing.
The Italian could not speak English,
so Mcclellan asked Neitman, who re-
ileved Doorman Sichler, what the man
was there for, and Neitman told him
that he was to be held under orders
from the captain.
Sergeant Bohle relieved Mcclellan,
but claims he knew nothing of the pres
nee of the man in the assembly room.
In the meantime the four girls who
made the charge were brought before
Acting Captain Caffrey, and as he was
learning their story the prisoner walked
out of the assembly room and was
missing when. Neitman went to look for
him. Sergeant Bohle claims he did not
see the man leave the room, and did
not even know of his presence there.
Acting Captain Caffrey today was
asked about the escape of the prisoner
and said he knew nothing about it, only
that the prisoner had escaped. He said
he told Plainclothes Policeman King to
tell Desk Sergeant Mcclellan to see
that the prisoner was guarded in the
assembly room. No one will give an
opinion as to why the man was not
slated and locked up in the cells when
such a serious charge was made
against him.
The Police Board will probe the pres
ent case to the bottom, as there has
been other alleged cases of inattention
to duty by some of the officials at the
First Precinct station.

Captains Garfield and Mac
Kie Leading Candidates
for FraSer'S Place.
HEADQUARTERS MIXES IN
Colonel Freeman and His Friends
Said to Be Opposing Garfield.
MacKie Had Previously
Promised to Support
Camfield.

The field and staff officers of the
First Regiment, N. G. N. j., will meet
tonight in the armory at Sussex ave-
nue and Jay street, to elect a sue
cessor to Major John D. Fraser, of the
First Battalion, who was recently pro-
NOTED to the office of lieutenant-col-
onel.
The election will result in a warm
contest, and will probably be as inter-
esting. if not more so, than was the
recent election for lieutenant-colonel.
There are five candidates seeking to
be elevated to the vacancy, but the real
fight for the place will be between
Captain William H. Camefild, of Com
pany B, and Captain Arthur MacKie,
of Company K. 1t is said that the
other candidates are in the field for
the sole purpose of feeling out" the
situation on the first ballot, after which
they will throw their support to either
Camfeld or MacKie.
Considerable unrest has been brought
to the officers who are supporting Cap
tain Camfield through a report circu-
lated today TO the effect that Colonel
Henry w. Freeman, who is to preside
at the election, will oppose Captain
Gamfield's election on the ground that
the latter has been too active in head
quarters affairs, and that he was M
of a party who was opposed to the
present administration of the regiment.
Officers who are friends of Captain
Camfield say that the c%oloners oppo-
sition to Captain Camefld's election
is because of another reason, which,
if so, will bring discredit on the adj
m~inistration, and especially or its head.
Captain MacKfe is Headquarters"
candidate and, 1t is said, by request of
Colonel Freeman, will receive the sup
port of the field and staff officers who
are controlled by Colonel Freeman.
Captain MacKie announced himself
as a candidate for the office about two
weeks ago. Prior to that time he told
Captain 1Camf1eld that he was not in
the race and that he would support
Captain Camfield's candidacy.
When Headquarters saw that
Camfeld was gaining ground. 1t is said.
Colonel Freeman induced Captain
MacKie to enter the race to block
Camfeld.
Captain Garfield and his adherents
propose not to be bulldozed and will
fight for their rights to the finish.
If anything occur at the informal
election which Captain Camfield's sup
porters think are unfair, they say that
their candidate will run at the formal
election.
Besides the above mentioned the
other candidates for the office are:
Captain Charles j. Allen, Company NJ;
Captain Orrin e. Runyon. Company B;
and Captain Mortimer Mum, Company

JAIL: NO REST FOR
POLICEMAN OR PRISONER.
Riverside Judge Slumbered Too Soundly,
So Patrolman Had to Keep
Moving with Burns.

RIVERSIDE. Nov. 4.-Because River
side has no jail Frank Burns, arrested on
a charge of disorderly conduct, was forced
by Policeman Charles Borton to accom-
pany the latter for many weary hours on
his rounds Saturday night.
Footsore and nearly tagged out, Burns
was discharged yesterday by Magistrate
William Grogan, who considered that the
prisoner had been sufficiently punished in
being compelled to help patrol the town.
Policeman Borton was given a warrant
for Burns, but he did not manage to ar
rest him until about midnight. BY that
time the whole town was asleep. Efforts
to get Magistrate Grogan out Of bed to
pass on the case were vain, for Morpheus
had a hammerlock on the magistrate.
Borton was in a quandary. He dared not
turn his prisoner loose, he feared to lock
him In his room lest he escape and he
could not guard him at one place, for he
had his rounds to make.
well. Frank, l guess It's up to you
to walk my beat with me- said the po-
liceman.

POLICE BAR BONFIRES
ON ALL ASPHALT STREETS
old-Time Election Celebrations to Be
Curbed-Past Mishaps the Cause.

Election night bonfires have been put
under the ban by the police. No fires are
to be allowed during the day, and at night
special attention will be paid to asphalted
thoroughfares, and attempts to start bon
fires thereon will result in arrests.
The decision to prevent the old-time
method of election celebration is due to the
destruction of hundreds of yards of asphalt
pavement and the annual recurrence of
fatalities to children by burning.
Oh1cial orders will be given to patrolmen
at all police stations tomorrow when the
men go on duty, to see that no fires are
started In the daytime or at night on

Cigar Spark Caused Explosion Of
Naphtha and Set Fire to At

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. A forty
foot naphtha auxiliary launch belonging
to Albert Ames, a Philadelphia business
man. was destroyed yesterday through
an explosion. of the oil tank, ignited
from a cigar spark.
Ames was forced to jump overheard,
and a companion, William Carroll, who
was asleep in the cabin, was aroused
and told to leap for his life. The yacht
was anchored in front of the Pleasure
Bay Hotel and the flames from the
craft fired the wharf. A fire engine
saved the wharf and the hotel, but the
yacht sank. The craft was to leave
for Philadelphia for the winter today.
