now dead.
The caption which heads the article
reads: 1.-THE Lost Cause: or, The Late
Idea.''
The rector has this to say: "Under all
the circumstances the complete and dra-
matte collapse of the Colby movement is
neither to be wondered at nor deplored.
It's irrevocable knell was sounded year
and half ago when Mr.. Colby supported
the Bishops bill. That bill was craftily
designed to destroy Colby and Colbylsm,
and its engineers were masters of their

KAISER TELLS
HOW HE GOT
JURIES
Hudson Sheriff's LacOnic
Reply :. Watched Signs,
lie Says in Court.
Isnsolal 10 the Evening star.l

JERSEY CITY, Oct 30.--At the first
hearing today in the certiDrari proceedings
instituted by Police Judge James w. Nc
Carthy, Chief of Police Monahan and
fifteen other Fagan men, indicted by the
September Grand Jury for attempting to
prevent citizens from being robbed OF theIr
votes on primary election day, Sheriff John
C. Kaiser was subjected to gruelling eX-
animation before Supreme Court Commits
sioner John p Dingler. The hearing was
held in the chancery chambers In the
Commercial Trust building, and was at
tended by a large number Of prominent
politicians of both parties and adherents or
both the Dickinson and Pagan factions In
Hudson County.
The writ was applied for by the indicted
men. who alleged that the Grand Jury
had been drawn for the express purpose OF
souaring political grudges between Diekln-
son and Fagan factions and their adher-
ents. and the testimony Of the sheriff in
a great measure bore out this allegation IN
detail. said the sheriff's enemies.
Sheriff Kaiser's testimony Tor hnlf an
hour after he was sworn was OF general
nature. He admitted knowing that there
was fight on between Dickinson and
Pagan and their followers and that
trouble was expected on primary electlon
day and that Dickinson was the reputed
leader Of what he termed the Regular Re-
publieans.
The Grand Jury that returned the indict-
ments against the Pagan workers was
drawn the day after the primary election,
and according TO the testimoRS OF the
sheriff was composed almost entirely or
Regular workers. and in some cases men
whom witness had appointed as election
officers for duty at the polls and chhl-
lengers on primary and election day in his
official capacity as chairman OF the ke-
publican county committee.
Witness further testified that he usually
drew his Grand Juries from the list of
names suggested to him by friends. but he
could not remember a single friend VINO
suggested the names of the members OF
the Jury in question. Each member OF
the Grand Jury was specifically named by
counsel, but the witness had q convenient
memory and couldn't remember"
Witness had been subpoenaed to produce
he general list of persons qualified to serve
as grand jurors, bnt failed to do So IN
answer to a question, witness said that he
bad not produced this list because his coun-
sci, Marshall Van Wrinkle, had advised him
that It was not necessary unler the pro-
visions OF the law to keep such list.
How do you procure the names of the
men you draw on your juries?" asked
counsel.
why, sometimes as I walk along the
treet / see a sign and think that the
owner OF the name Is pretty good fellow
write 1t down on a slip Of paper and he is
drawn on the jury" replied witness.
Then, sometimes friends suggest the
names of others and 1 write the names
down and they are drawn" added the
Sheriff.
The case was still on this afternoon.

taken upstairs to the Bertillion room at
police headquarters this morning to have

the Italian ever saw a camera, and when
he was told to sit down in chair placed
in the centre OF the room, he thought he
was going to be electrocuted.
Tie imposing camera and the large chair,
TO the frightened Bennecci was the terrible
electric chair and apparatus.
When Superintendent Swartz told him
to sit down the Italian began to scream at
the top OF his voice, and fell on his knees
begging between shouts for mercy, that he
be shot il he was to be killed. He
quivered like leaf and cried like a child,
and every effort to get him in the chair
brought forth screams of horror from him
KIN me shoot me, If | must die. but
not in that electric chairi" screamed the
unhappy man time and again.
II was nearly an hour before the man
could be convinced that no harm was
meant him. and that they merely wanted
to take his picture. He was finally per-
snaded 10 sit and have his picture taken.
Bennecci had been in the employ of Bruno
for some time as bartender. The pro-
prietor missed considerable money from
time to time and the matter was reported

Major Carl Lentz said today that the
table he made of predictions on the re-
suit of the election was not intended for
publication, and he was incensed be-
cause it got into New York morning
paper. He said that he and his coll
leagues on the State Board of Tax
Equalization talked yesterday privately
about the possible result of the election,
whether Fort of Katzenbach would be
elected.
He and the other commissioners each
gave his opinion of what he thought
would be the plurality of Fort or of
Katzenbach, and then they made esti-
mates OF the result of the voting by
counties.
Major Lentz made a table giving his
estimate of the majority in the differ
ent counties for Fort and for Katzen-
bach, and ii was understood that the
estimates of each man was to be kept
IA private matter. But to the surprise
of Major Lentz his table was printed
this morning in a New York paper. He
cannot imagine who gave 1t out.

Mr. Dalrymple scanned 1t closely,

''The forecast made by the erstwhile
Essex Republican leader was not known
to the party workers who gathered at

STAR representative brought the news
there. The prediction, Of course, did not
jibe with the results that the workers are
expecting.
There was not one of these men who
would admit that the ''Major" was any
thing near right.
Tn the Democratic ranks the forecast
made by the redoubtable "Major" was
looked upon with pleasure. AT headquar-
ters the workers gathered there were
ready to go the erstwhle Republican
