OUT
OF FIGHT FOR
MAJOR
Officers Ordered to Main
tain Silence on Qualities
Of Candidates.

Captain William H. Camfleld. of Com
pany d, First Regiment, N. @. N. j.,
who was a candidate for major of the
third battalion, vice John D. Fraser.
recently elected lieutenant-colonel, will
not make a fight for the office against
his opponent, Captain Arthur H.
Mackie, of Company A. This decision
was reached by Captain Camield last
night and emphasized more emphati-
cally today when an EVENING STAR
man called on the captain in relation
to the gossip of his withdrawal.
IT do not want to appear in print
about this affair. I nave already
stated my views on the matter, and to-
day I will say that I am not a candi-
date. My reason for withdrawal is
because of the fact thai l do % want
to establish a precedent whereby a
man defeated at an informal election
would run again at the formal election.
Further than this l have nothing more
to say at this time
From other officers in the regiment
who have taken a stand in favor of
Captain Camf1eld for certain reasons
declare that Captain Garfield ought to
maxi the fight if nothing more than to
stand by his friends who have already
declared in his favor. Said one officer
of the regiment: Captain Camfleld's
excuse is not a good one. I know off,
GERS who were defeated at the informal
gathering of officers and who made the
race and won at the formal election.
Captain Camfield's opponent would re-
tire form the race today If the powers
higher up would permit him. But the
powers that be, you know, have the
full swing of the National Guard of this
State
From another source it vas learned
that Brigadier- General Campbell has
given it out that when it comes time
to formally declare the election of Off
GERS only one candidate must be in the
race. SO that everything will be har-
monious. but you know the other
day." said one officer, "out in Paterson
there we're three candidates in the race
for Northumberland, and there was a
hot time there, but you will also recall
that General Campbell did not grace
the gathering by his presence. He re-
manned away because he failed to whip
the officers into line for any one can
didate, and the best man won. The
same thing would happen here if the
majority of the officers had the right
kind OF. sand"
The election will take place next
Monday, and an official order has been
sent out f~orbidding the officers to dis
u s anything about the qualities of
the candidate to succeed Major Fraser.

LOST LIFE IN
EXCAVATION
CAVE-IN
Central Station I'M
prOyement in New York
Secures Another Victim.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-More than a
dozen workmen were caught by a
cave-in at the New York Central ex-
cavations at Forty-seventh street and
Park avenue early today, and one,
Sutro Vallou, 30 years old, of 32S East
Forty-eighth street was pinned down
by a boulder weighing nearly a ton and
crushed to death.
The workmen, in charge of Giro
Traeno, a brother-in-law of the dead
man. were busy forty feet below the
street level. A blast had been set off
and a steam shovel was being used to
scoop UP the debris.
The big shovel dislodged several
heavy pieces of rock. There was a
landslide, and the workmen attempted
to escape. as they saw the dirt and
stones coming toward them. All were
caught in the avalanche and some al
most buried.
Their cries for help were heard, but
before assistance came all of the men
had wriggled out except Vallou. The
others had been ~engulfed in dirt, but a
big boulder struck him and killed him
instantly.
None of those who escaped was hurt
seriously, but most of them were
bruised. When they found one of their
number had been killed nearly all be-
came terror-stricken.
DIR. Sanford, a railroad physician
pronounced Vallou dead after a num-
Der of other railroad workmen had
rolled the stone off the body, which
was taken to the East Fifty-frst street
station.

dealers in order to get Thanksgiving tur-
KEYS at lower prices. For weeks the
prices of all kinds of foodstuffs have been
going skyward in the local market. The
retailers blamed the jobbers and the job
bers blamed farmers and manufacturers
Eyes, madam, chickens and turkeys. are

passed along to the queen of the market
basket.
Eggs are at a premium. I think the
farmers are short of corn. Turnips and
potatoes and tomatoes n Scranberries
n celery can scarcely be procured.
Prices will be much higher by Thanks
giving time"
Market baskets commenced to go home
less heavily laden, 1t was noticed that
the buyers in the great majority ignored
those articles on which the prices had
gone to suddenly skyward. Cheese jumped
nine cents a pound over prices of this
time a year ago, and it's also was not pur-
chased.
What's wrong with cheese?" the dealers
began asking themselves. The slump be-
came SO noticeable this week that the fol-
lowing telegram was sent out from the
headquarters of the cheese trust, at
Plymouth, Wis:
'Sell cheese for any price you can get"
Today the price dropped to but a frac-
ton over last years price.
The turkey market is suffering a slump,
and cold storage birds are going into the
ice boxes. The turkey rate on Thanks
giving will be about twenty-five cents. The
dealers had planned to make it thirty-five
and forty.

He was told that the registrar-general
