PREFERS JAIL TO WIFE
PAYING POLL TAX.
Every Time We Had the Least Bit of a
spat She Would Twit Me-That She
Saved Me from JAIL" He Says.

ASBURY PARK. Aug. John
OHagan was taken to the county Jail
at Freehold yesterday. to remain there
until he pays 81 poll tax. He declares
he will not pay IT nor allow any one
else to pay it for him. To him the
poll tax is unconstitutional.
Deputy Collector P. f. Dodd started
yesterday to round up voters who
had failed to pay the tax. He collected
$15, but the sixteenth mar was Ola
gan. Mrs. O'Hagan offered to pay the
dollar and so did friends, but O'Hagan
was stubborn and went to the township
jail. 1t was expected that one night
would cure him, but 1t did not. and he
was passed or TO the county Jail.
IF l let my wife pay hat for me to
keep me out of jail she would have it
OIL me all the rest Of my life," said
O'Hagant Every time we had the
least bit of a spat she would twit me
with it-that she saved me from the
inside Of a cell. Not for mine. I'll
rot in the jail first, but they say
Sheriff Francis feeds them WELL"

INDORSE COLBY MEN
E. 0. REGULARS AIMED TO
DRAW OTHERS FIRE.
Merrill and Bancroft Both Favored for
Council by Regulars Before New
idea People Acted.

Politicians in East Orange are today
sitting up and taking notice. Things are
doing. The regular Republicans there
nave Just handed the Colbyites either a
fine specimen of an olive branch. or a
big. juiceless lemon, in the matter Of
naming men for the City Council.
Last night Recorder Franklin w. Fort,
a regular, announced that John Lenora
Merrill was favored by the regulars for
the Council from the Second Ward. Now
be 1t known Mr.. Merrill IS a member or
the Colby executive committee from the
first district of the ward. When 1t was
breezed about what the regulars were UP
to the Colbyites got together hurriedly
and Endorsed Mr.. Merrill in jig time. He
signed the necessary papers last night
to run on the Colby ticket.
The same thing was done In the Thiro
Ward. Saturday several regulars indorsed
Frank Bancroft, who has been an attend
ant. it is said, at man meetings held IN
the home of Colonel Potter in the interests
of the New idea movement. The Colbyites
say they were considering naming Mr..
Bancroft. too, and this week they came
out and Endorsed him, following in the
footsteps of the regulars. It's a pretty
how-to-do.
One member of the New Idea said last
night he was gotten nip to the scheme
ana Will privately vent MS AScAh5S ~
what the New idea men did when the or
ganization meets again. !,
Mr.. Merrill, said Mr.. Fort, has hved
in East Orange all his life, With n ex-
ception of two years which he spent IN
Orange. Last year Mr.. Merrill tried for
the Orange. Common Council on the He
publican ticket, but was defeated by Al
dermap John J. Bolan, Democrat.
The politicians in the city are now
awaiting the next move to be made by
the regulars in making the Colbyites foi-
low in behind The naming of Mr.. Mer-
rill by the regulars will, 1t is said, be
one of the hardest pills for the Colbyites
to swallow.
Charles B. Yardley, jr.,f and other prom.
inent Colbyites in the Second Ward, ano
Mr.. Merrill are very close friends. and as
ISOLATED with the latter in the Paint and
Powder Club, but 1t Is just the opposite
with Recorder Fort and Mr.. Yardley, and
what move the New Idea men will make
next will be viewed with interest.
Alden Freeman, however, has not been
caught in this peculiar net, and intends
to stay In the fight unless the regulars
him and follow at the tail end
of his campaign. He says he will make
the campaign extremely interesting before
he Is downed. :.
The regulars. under the harmony plan,
are working in East Orange now to have
only one set of delegates to the conven-
tions, and straws are being pulled to see
II the Colbyites will follow In behind
again.

With Milk CrustW Which Maturated.
ALL COMPLETELY
CURED BY CUTICURA

s'Some time ago my daughter, aged IA,
began to break put on her face with
small pimples and l told her to get the
Cuticura Remedies and take them,
but she used some stuff called D

a sight. 1t looked some like chicken
pox and at last like blood poison, SO
that every one who saw her was al
most afraid to go near her, Then 1
sent for a complete set of the CuticurR
Remedies and now she has not had q
pimple for two months. l knew that
Cuticura would cure her because / have
used it before with such success. About
eighteen years ago, / had a little girl
who had what the doctor called milk
crust on her head. This spread until
n ear was covered. She was then
six months old and grew worse until
which cured her. l have a little boy,
now two years old, who was taken the
same way. When five days old his
head began to raise up in water blisters,
then turned red and then a yellow
matter formed under the blisters. 1t
dried up and looked like a big patch OF
dirt, then it scaled off, broke out again
and spread nearly all over his head.
The same kinds OF sores formed in the
bends of his arms and legs. At first
/ had a physician who treated him and
said he would outgrow it, but when he
was two weeks old 1 began to use the
Cuticura Remedies, and when three
months old he was we'll, and he now
has a fine skin, as clear as crystal. /

MONTCLAIR TO HAVE LABOR DAY PARADE.
FREEHOLDERs PLACE BLAME ON ENGINEER
NEW PRODIGAL SON
THIS TIME He RAN AWAY
FROM CHICAGO.
Caught in Orange, Forgiven by Rich
Dad and Then Undertakes to Show
His Pater the Sights.

Frederick E. Westfall, a prominent mer-
chant of Chicago, with a large place of
business located at 192s-19s5 West Twelfth
street, that city, is enjoying a trip today
to places of interest in and about New
York city. The visitor from the Windy
City Is in the custody Of his 15-year-old
son, wilfred, who is a rare product of
the hust1ing Western city, and thereby
hangs a tale.
After an all-day search yesterday the
Orange police nabbed the son at the re-
quest of his father, Policeman Giordano
getting the chap near the Orange Post
office, where ne was awaiting the arrival
of a money-order from a friend in Chi
cage.
Wilfred ran away from home about ten
days ago. and satisfied his wanderlust
in experience about Coney Island. Then
he sought monetary relief from a friend
at home and was corralled. His father
came on to the East today, and after his
boy had explained where he spent his
time in the last week the parent said:
well, my boy. 1 guess you know the
places of interest around this part of the
country as well as any guide | might
get. and as I haven't been east Of Chicago
before I'm going to see some places be-
4OAG L 81 RAL1h htIC Is III LII
for you in that suit case and we'll go
up to a hotel and fix up for the trip"
Suiting his action to his word Mr.. West
fall and the prodigal son went to the
Central Hotel. hired a room and fixed up.
Then they started off for the journey
about the metropolis after Police Chief
Drabell, of Orange, furnished the two
travellers with a list of attractive places
in New York city. Mr.. Westfall left,
thanking the police for their good services.
Young Westfall, who is one of five chill
dren in a comfortable home in Chicago,
got the notion in his head during last week
that he would like to come East. So he
took $40 from his bank and in addition
helped himself to $40 from the family funds.
and, purchasing a irst-class ticket, ar
rived In New York last Wednesday,. The
fame of Coney Island had been a source Of
wonder to the boy and there he hied him
self with about SIP of his original funds
left. There the sports let the boy spend
all his money and for employment he got
work in a candy store.
There was little comfort found by the
youth, accustomed to a wealthy home, in
the places where he had to rest, and he
soon tired of life on the island. and he
drlfted to Orange. He hired a room in the
Central Hotel and spent three days there.
Then he went to South Orange and wrote
to a friend in Chicago and awaited some
money he expected to get. His father
came on when he learned where the lad
was and he gave the prodigal a warm well
come.

FIGHT OVER COUNSEL
Belleville Building and Loan Faces Hot
Election Tomorrow-Connolly on
Barrett Ticket for Ruse.

At the annual election Of officers and
directors of the Belleville Building and
Loan Association to be held tomorrow
night there will be two tickets in the
field. one with candidates favoring the
selection Of Joseph A. Connolly, a young
Belleyille lawyer. as counsel for the ASSOC
citation. and one whose candidates are
pledged to the retention of the present
counsel. former State Senator Michael T.
Barretts The contest promises TO be
unusually interesting. as both sides are
making a determined fight.
There was some surprise yesterday when
the Barrett tickets were distributed and II
was found that the name of James I.
Boylan was placed at the head for presi-
dent. Mr.. Boylan is president of the as
ISOLATION, n favors the selection OF Mr..
Connolly as counsel. He was indignant at
the use of his name on the opposition bal
lot. Mr.. Boylan first learned Of the pur-
pose OF the opposition to place his name
on the ticket a few days ago. He I'M
hesitatingly condemned this action and de-
manded that his name be withdrawn. He
learned then that the ballots were printed.
MI. Connolly's friends figure that this
move on the part of the opposition was
merely n ruse 10 deceive the voters on
his side, as Mr.. Boylan Is a candidate for
reelection on the Connolly ticket. 1t Is
figured that by this, If this was the pur-
pose intended, their efforts will come to
naught.
The Barrett ticket as distributed yes
terday is as follows: President, James T.
Boylan; vicc-president, William Zeliff;
secretary, Richard p. Scaine; treasurer,
John Callaghan; directors, three years.
Richard Graham, Maurice Ffiel ard
Maurice Cahill; auditors, Theodore Jerolo-
man. Christian Ortholf and John J. West
The president, vice-president, treas
urer and directors vote for counsel.

He Wanted, Leaving Rest-0ccurred

taking a number of carpenters imple-
ments and leaving man. dollars worth of
other valuable tools In a lot nearby
Bedell is building a house at the place
from which the tools were TAKEN. and
besides himself Alfred Corbin, William
Weber. and William Ulrich are the losers.
All of the tool boxes were opened, includ-
ing some containing valuable plumbers
instruments, and they were all carted to a
vacant lot nearby, where the thief APP
parently sorted out the tools at his leisure,
selecting such as he wanted, leaving the
rest.

Meyer Reduction plant. Loprete's con-

The law will not allow him to deposit the
garbage within the limits of the city.
