chicaeo's Costly Smoke Nuisance.

Charles A Stevens, a merchant Of
State street, Chicago, declares that the
smoke nuisance costs Chicagoans more
than $4O,OOOOOO annually and that the
damage to the stock of the State street
merchants caused by black smoke ex-
ceeds S2,OOO000 annually. His address
was part of a symposium on the
"Smoke Nuisance" as a first step in the
direction Of the launching by clubwo-
men of a new crusade to bring about
the strict enforcement of the antismOke
nuisance ordinances. Il have made
careful investigation as to the amount
of reductions made necessary in our
house during last year because of goods
being spoiled" said Mr.. Stevens, "and
you may be surprised to know that the
reductions that actually occurred In
our house last year amounted to near
lv S2OO,OOO and 1 believe 1 would be
perfectly safe in saying that the total
reductions in prices made in State
street annually because Of black smoke
would amount to close to S2OO0OOo"

BALLOTS WILL CONFORM
TO LAW, SAYS C0NNELLY.
Colbyites Feared That Names Of Their
Candidates Would Not Be Bracketed
with Those of Delegates.

City Clerk James T.. Connolly this
afternoon put quietus on a story that
was going the rounds that the primary
ballots that would be furnished this
year by him would cause confusion in
the primary fight between the Regular
Republicans and the New Idea men
because the names of the Colby candi-
dates would not be placed in brackets
alongside of their delegates. This
bracket arrangement is provided for in
the amendment TO the primary law that
Senator Colby had passed by the Legis-
lature this year.
According to the story, the Colbyites
feared that the names of the candidates
would not be placed in brackets show
ing what delegates were pledged to
them
"The primary ballot will conform to
the law and the candidates names will
be in brackets, showing which delegates
ara pledged to Them said the City
Clerk when he was questioned about it
this afternoon.

DILATORY ONES PROVOKE
COUNTY ELECTIONS BOARD
Que of 800 Names Listed, 148 Candidates
Have Failed to Qualify-Want to
Finish This Week.

That there are plenty of dilatory men
among the would-be election officers was
pointed out today by Enos Runyon, chair
man of the county board Of election, when
he complained that no less than 14S of
them have still failed TO file their answers
to the questions which the board puts to
them and must be correctly answered be-
fore they are qualified to act.
The law requires that the answers should
have been filed several days ago. but the
14S either do not care or are thoughtless
to the degree that they hamper the board
in its work "The board,' said Mr.. Rum
yon today, rs anxious TO have its list of
election officers ready for publication this
week: in fact we expected that It would
be completed today. II may be next week,
however. according to present appearances,
before the list is anywhere near ready
for publication.
Here are 14s men, who appear to have
been anxious enough to get the jobs, and
are now holding up in our work. We
have $40 names to be gone over. and in
this lot are the 14S still shy for some rea-
son or other Some are Republicans and
some Democrats, and no particular section
of the county or city is better than any
other in this respect. These negligent men
ought TO be made to feel their obligations
to the board in some way"
The board will meet again next Tuesday
afternoon when II will pass upon the
names that have come In since yesterdays

the $1,000 salary of a justice was too small.
He is now earning. as the legal adviser Of
corporations, at least SIS, 900 year, and his
friends say that the $4,000 salary of the
Governor of New Jersey does NOT appeal
to him. Colonel Dickinson is using the
name of Mr.. Collins to secure votes for
the machine ticket at the primaries on
September 10.
The name of former Congressman Mar
shal Van Wrinkle may be rubbed from
the slate before the outing has reached
College Point. for the railroad lawyer

Match of Tennis Tournament at New
port-Larned Play Brilliant

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 2S.--William
A. Larned won the finals in the all
comers tennis tournament at the
Casino today, defeating Robert Leroy,
of New York, in straight sets. The
scores were 6-2, 60, Ga.
Larned also won the championship
title and permanent possession of the
association trophy, through the default
of William J. Clothier, of Philadelphia
The contest today was never in doubt
from the start. Leroy, although out
classed and outplayed by the veteran,
made plueky fight, but he could not
handle Larned's cannon-ball drives
down the side lines or across court. II
Leroy ran to the net he was either
passed or lobbed back to the base line,
where he was kept running back and
forth until, getting him off his foot,
Larned placed far out of his reach.
In his fourteen years on the Casino
court Larned was never more brilliant
than today, and the spectators applaud
ed his work and cheered him at the
finish. Summary:

State Politicians at Tren-
ton Speculate on
Possibilities.

TRENTON, Aug. 2S.-Many signs of
political activity were presented at the
capitol yesterday with the near APP
proach of the State primaries, in which
delegates to the Gubernatorial conven-
tion are to be elected. There were
many little conferences in the rooms
and in the corridors. but the only
marked change in the situation was a
decided jump in Fort stock.
One of the earliest visitors of the day
who saw Governor Stokes was Sheriff
Frank Sommer, of Essex County, who
is Senator Colby's choice for the nomi-
nation. The Sheriff and the Governor
had a long heart t-to-heart talk on the
big couch in the reception hall of the
executive offices. but its purport did
not leak out and their voices were not
raised above a murmur. They seemed
very cordial and friendly, and the
Sheriff left smiling. That might not
indicate anything, however, since he Is
a sunny-haired. light t-hearted man. who
smiles often. However, it was signifi-
cant that he should wander to the State
House on the very day that an an
nouncement came from Chandler w.
Riker, of Essex. that he must not be
further considered as candidate for
the Republican nomination.
1t was Rker who was first consid-
cred as the probable choice of the Es-

Is One Of Charges ia Papers
Filed Here Against
New Yorker.
IGNORED AND PENNILESS
Compelled, She Says, to Sign
Away Her Property to Woman
She Had Never Seen and
Finally Driven Insane
Through Cruelty.

In papers filed today with Vice-Chan-
celcr Howell by Charles e. Cook. of
Asbury Park, counsel representing
Iheckla Won Reisdorff. Is told one Of
the most sensational stories of
wronged and defrauded wife that the
Court of Chancery has been called upon
to investigate for many years. No for
NAL answer has been filed by Oscar Won
Reisdorff the husband, but when the
matter came UP today on an applica-
tion for the courts injunction to pre-
vent the defendant husband from SELL
ing or transferring a cottage on Fifth
avenue, near Bond street. Asbury Park,
Samuel Patterson, his counsel, took the
position that the whole controversy is
due to incompatibility between husband
and wife.
The allegations made by the wife
are, however, specific. She says that
she married Mr.. Won Reisdorff in 1888,
and that they have two children. In
1892 she was left sum OF money by
relative, which she proceeded to in
vest in the Asbury Park cottage, pay
ing $S,0 900 for the property and furnish-
ing it at a cost of $1,000. All of this
money the wife says, was paid by
her from the funds left by her rela-
tive. her husband not contributing one
dollar to the purchase. The family
lived at the cottage each summer until
| 1902
From the time she received the inheri-
| tance Mrs Won Riesdorff AYERS that her
| husband began to practise the utmost cru
| eltv They lived In New York city, and
early in 1909 her husbands actions broke
down her health aud finally drove her in
sane, so that she was committed to an in
sane asylum. In August, 1904, she was dis
charged as cured, but was still feeble phys
ically and unable to endure excitement.
but Notwithstanding her condition and the
fact that she was just released from more
than two years stay in an asylum, the
woman declares that within six days after
she returned from her long confinement
Won Riesdorff compelled her to go to the
office of Joseph E. Braman, in the Equita-
BILE building, New York city, and convey
her property to Anna Wolf woman she
had never known. The same day the prop
erty was conveyed by Anna Wolf to her
husband
From that minute the wife declares her
husband refused TO support her, and, al
though she was ultimately forced to have
him arrested for non-support and he was
ordered to pay her board, she was unable
to get money from MIN. Meanwhile, dur
ing 1905-06 and the present year, the de-
fendant leased the Asbury Park cottage
for $3.50 a year. Early this season the
wife says she was absolutely without
money, and went to Asbury Park and told
her story to the people TO whom her hus-
band had leased the cottage They be-
lieved her, and gave her shelter in the cot
tage and paid her $3.50 the balance re-
manning on the rent thereof, and gave her

The two young women were found in
the roadway by j. Vincent Farrell, OF
44S Pearl street. and Wilson Wendell
of 26 Court street, Brooklyn. After
being treated at the hospital they went
to the police station, where they gave
a description of the two men who had
attempted to attack them.
The girls said that the men had fol-
lowed them in Coney Island, and that
when they attempted to escape by hir-
ing a landau to take them to their
homes, the men had stopped the driver
and, showing deputy sheriffs' badges
told the girls they were under arrest
They then took their prisoners to a
nearby Observation-Disclosures man went
out to get a carriage to take the party
to a Brooklyn prison, he said, the
other told the girls they had better

nerves. The young women ordered
sherry, against their will, they said.
They were then taken into carriage
and the four started for Brooklyn. Halt

them off for a few minutes, and were
still struggling when an automobile
driven by Farrell passed. Then the
men hurled the young women from the
carriage and whipped up the horses.
Brakeman was later arrested by de-
tectives sent on the case by Captain
Langan. Several men of prominence
in Coney Island went to the police
station to bail him out, but Lieutenant
Kean refused to accept bail for the
prisoner. A deputy sheriff's badge was
found in Blakemans pocket. He is a
Republican leader of the Sixteenth
Assembly District.
Brakeman was arrested at his home.

the word sheriff on one of the badges
displayed by the men. On Brakeman

Managers Close Contract for
Trenton Opera House
on That Date.
.SUB-COMMITTEE'S ACTION
Did Not Consider POstpOnement
of Date Until After the
Republican Convention
Will Not Interfere With
Yom Kippur Celebration.

Tuesday, September II, was selected
as the date for the State Democratic
convention at a meeting held last night
by the subcommittee of the State DEM
ocratic Committee named to fix the
convention date. The subcommittee is
composed of City Counsel James r.
Nugent, of this city; former Mayor
Frank S. Katzenbach, of Trenton, and
David Crater, of Monmouth. They met
at Spring Lake last night to consider
the advisability of changing the date
of the State convention, which, If held
on September IS, as originally set,
would occur on the solemn Jew
ish Feast of Yom Kippur which
will begin at sunset of Septem-
ber II and continue until sunset the
next day The convention committee
considered it wise to not hold the con-
vention on the holiday, so as not to
give any offense to Jewish people.
1t was reported yesterday that the con-
vention would be held on September %,
but there was no foundation for the state
ment, as the subcommittee selected the
day previous to the eighteenth. This will
not interfere with the observance of the
Jewish holiday
Hebrew delegates will not be hampered
at all in the celebration of the feasts by
attending the convention on September IL
The convention will be held early in the
day and will be concluded in time to let
the Hebrew delegates get to their homes
for the opening ceremonies OF the DAY of
Atonemeit
The holding of the convention on the
day now selected will keep the Legislature
from meeting until late on that day, but
many Of the delegates will welcome the
change. 1t will give them chance to
visit the State House while the legislators
are in session.
The subcommittee had options on the
Taylor Opera House, in Trenton, for both
September II and Is. September % was
not considered, it was too long after
the primaries.
This morning Mr.. Katzenbach closed ne
gotiations with the management of the
Trenton playhouse, to hold the convention
on September II, even though the Legisla-
ture is to reconvene that day

NEW ARRESTS
in MURDER

Police Refuse to Divulge
PartiCuIarS-=TwO Others
Are Released.

Though the police are baffled in their
attempt to find the slayer or slayers

body was found two weeks ago in the
city dump in Avenue b, near Miller
street, arrests are still being made. Two
morning by Detective Sergeants Tuite,
Horter and Templeton. and 1t is
thought that they may be able TO throw
some light on the mysterious case.
With the arrest of the latest suspects,
whose names the police refuse to dis
close at present, came the liberation of
Matthew Iverson. a negro. of SO Airing
ton street, who was arrested last night,
and Arthur Burrell. who was locked up
on Saturday night. Neither of these
men knew anything about the crime,
the police believe.
Just what connection the two under
arrest at present have to do with the
case is not known outside of the police.
Prisoners brought in on suspicion with
the Iiggins case have not been slated
their detention being merely for the
purpose of putting them through the
third degree to try and find out who
night of the crime.
The police have been unable to trace
the movements of the Liggins woman
after $3.50 Saturday night, when she
was seen at the corner of Augusta and
Arlington streets. Her whereabouts
after that are unknown.
