IS
REVEALED BY
DROWNING
New York Young Woman
Disappeared Four Weeks
Ago. Welded Englishman.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Through the
Identification of the body of Mrs. John
f. Croft, in Philadelphia yesterday,
romance that ended in death was re-
vealed. Mrs. Croft, until her marriage
four weeks ago in Rhode Island, was
Miss Marguerite Fitzgerald, of 157
West One Hundred and Twenty-fourth
street She eloped from this city four
weeks ago, and until she was drowned
off the yacht of c. r. N. Bennett last
Wednesday her relatives in this city
neither knew her whereabouts nor
that she had become bride.
Mrs. Croft and her husband of four
weeks were on board the Bennett yacht
when it was struck by a squall The
boom swung and carried Mr.. and Mrs.
Croft overheard. He was rescued and
she was drowned. Until that time Mr..
Croft had not communicated with any
of the young woman's relatives.
AS soon as he could gather himself
together after the shock he came to
New York, and, with c. 8. Walker,
lawyer, of TIA Centre street, the uncle
of Miss. Fitzgerald, returned to Phila-
delphia. The pair continued the search
for the body until yesterday. When 1t
was recovered Mr.. Walker identified it
as that of Marguerite A. Fitzgerald.
Mr.. Croft In Philadelphia last night
said he was an Englishman and
wealthy, and had been introduced to
his bride in New York several months
ago. There were religious differences,
and when they decided to marry it
was thought best that Miss Fitzger-
AIDS family should have nothing to
say about it, Accordingly they left
New York and were married in Rhode
Island, and then made a tour Of the
South.
Mrs. Fitzgerald. the mother Of the
dead girl, Mr.. Croft said, at the time
she left New York asked the police to
find her. He said she was an invalid
and his bride feared the shock of her
elopement might kill her mother, and
so they had done nothing and were
merely waiting at the time she was
drowned.
Mr.. Walker corroborated this. He
said Mrs. Fitzgerald had been an In
valid since the death of her husband,
a physician of this city, who was found
dead in his office thirteen years ago.
He gave his niece's age as % years,
and on the Philadelphia records the
name appears as Fitzgerald instead of
Croft. An inquest will be held today.
At the address given in West One
Hundred and Twenty-fourth street it
was said Miss Fitzgerald lived there
alone and had occupied a room there
for three years.

With Judge Child Out, Lead
erS Are Unable to Tell
Who the Candidate Will Be.
DARK HORSE IN THE AIR
Conference of Leaders Called to
Consider Conditions as Katzen-
bach Cannet Get Nomination
Without Aid of Essex~Said
to Be Pledged to Hudson.

Choatic conditions, of a temporary
character at least, have prevailed in the
Democratic party since former Judge
Francis Child's announcement that he
would not allow his name to be mem
toned in connection with the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination was
made Saturday night. During the
morning no one was able to say who
would be the nominee, and to settle
the matter a conference of the leaders
was scheduled today.
The result of that may be the Sc
lection of man who has either been
only casually mentioned for the place
u or one who is an absolute dark horse.
Who that man may be is in doubt,
although the names of Woodrow Will
son, president of Princeton University;
Congressman William Hughes and John
r. Hardin are mentioned. Mr.. Hardin
has already refused to allow his name
to be mentioned, but 1t is thought that
if it is put up to him strongly that 1t is
necessary for him to help the party he
may be persuaded to stand. Mr.. Har-
din said today he had been talking with
some Democrats, but had not heard
anything new about the governorship.
The name of Chancellor James
j. Bergen, of Somerville, has been
brought forward also.
If President Wilson can be persuaded
to stand upon the broad excise plat
form that the Democratic convention
will probably adopt, his name is calcu-
lated to add great strength to the
ticket. His stand on that question,
however, is unknown.
Many people have coupled the visit of
Governor Stokes to this city last Satur-
day with the announcement of former
Judge Francis Child that he would not
be candidate for the Democratic nom
nation for the governorship. The
visit of the Governor gavo rise to the
report that he would tomorrow send
into the Senate the name of Mr. Child
for a member Of the Supreme Court to
succeed the late Abram @. Garretson.
AS a matter of fact, however, 1t is
known that the Governor and MI. Child
did not meet at all on Saturday, and
If the Governor nominates Mr.. Child
for the place it will not be as the result
of yesterdays visit.
Judge Child has persistently refused
to make any statement about the men
ton of his name by other people for the
gubernatorial nomination and could
not be considered an active candidate.
1t is known that in talks about the
platform to be adopted at the State
convention tomorrow Mr.. Child did not
agree with some of the State leaders,
and this fact may have had something
to do with the declination of the honor.
If he had consented to stand, he
would have had the support of dele
gates from practically all the State ex-
cept Mercer and Hudson counties, both
of whom are for Frank S. Katzenbach,
of Trenton. Katzenbach, it is under
stood, would have had a better chance
to get the nomination IL he had not
linked himself so closely with the Hud-

POPEPIUS X.
ESTABLISHES
CENSORSHIP
Committee in Every Diocese
to Pass Upon What the
Faithful May Read.

ROME. Sept. 16.-The Osservatore
Romano organ of the Vatican, today
issued an important encyclical of Pope
Plus x. on Modernism" which really
is completion of his recent syllabus.
The document sets forth that mod
ernism is a serious danger to the
church, refers in detail to the various
features of modernism, condemns 1t as
dangerous in philosophy, faith, theol-
ogy history, criticism and reforms, and
arrives at the conclusion that modern
ism is a synthesis of all heresy and
must logically lead to atheism.
The encyclical makes the following
provisions:
First-The teaching of philosophy,
positive theology, ETC., is to be carried
on in the church schools and univer-
stiles, but In Catholic spirit.
Second-Modernists are to be removed
from professorships and the direction of
educational institutions.
Third-The clergy and faithful are not
to be allowed to read modernist publi-
cations.
F'ourth-A committee of censorship
is to be established in every diocese to
pass upon the publications which the
clergy and faithful shall be permitted
to read.
Fifth-The encyclical of the late Pope
Leo XIII. prohibiting the clergy from
assuming the direction of publications
without their bishops permission, and
providing for supervision of the work Of
ecclesiastical writers, is confirmed.
Sixth-Ecolesiasti congresses, ex-
cept on rare occasions, are prohibited.
Seventh---A council is to be consti-
tuted in every diocese to combat mod
ern errors.

Trampled On.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-over three
hundred girls employed by Cohen
Brothers, trousers manufacturers at

cally destroyed the building and spread

from their bodies. None was seriously
hurt, however, as far as the police

TO BE EGGERs AND G0ETz.

When the Republican city convention is
called to order tonight at the Republican
county headquarters, Halsey and Academy
streets the New Idea faction will have a
platform Of its own to present, but wheth-
er its members will succeed in duplicating
the feat they performed at the county
convention is not known. There were no
contests in the voting districts for the
delegates to the city convention, and the
only Colby men will be delegations from
the Eighth and Eleventh wards, and sew
eral from the Ninth Ward.
The adoption of the platform is the
principal matter that will come up, as 1t
is practically decided that Augustus F.
Eggers will be renominated for Board of
Works and Joseph Goetz for trustee of
the City Home.

HINCHLIFFE in RACE
PASSAIC DEMOCRATIC DEL
EGATI0N FOR HIM.
Senator Has Decided Within Last Forty
eight Hours to Stand for Guber-
material Nomination.
Especial to the Evening star.I

PATTERSON, Sept. 16.-The Passaic
County delegation TO the Democratic
State convention will go down to Tren-
ton pledged TO Senator John Hinchliffe
for Governor. A meeting of the dele
gates has been called for this evening,
and they will be instructed to vote for
Hinchliffe first, last and all the time.
Former City Counsel Michael Dunn,
warm personal friend of Senator
Hinchliffe. will make the nominating
speech.
A boom was started in Passaic and
Bergen counties on Saturday for Con-
gresham William Hughes, and he
would undoubtedly have been the
choice of the delegates of the Sixth
Congressional district If Senator Hinch-
life had not decided owing to the urg-
Ing of his friends and admirers from
all over the State to stand for the
nomination.
Two weeks ago Senator Hinchliffe,
who is just recovering from a serious
illness, announced that he was not a
candidate, but in the last forty eight
hours he has been persuaded to become
q candidate.

counsel representing Sarah Jane Zabriskie,
of Paterson. Chancellor Magic today

estate by the Court of Chancery bears
date Of 1872, and that at that time trust
was created. which has continued ever
since to the satisfaction to the heirs-at-

WORTHLESS CHECKS.

We know of no other community
in the United States, or the world
for that matter, where there are Sc
many worthless checks floating
around as right here in Ely. 1t has
become to be quite the natural thing
for man to "go broke" at a gaming
table or in riotous living, and then
resort to issuing fraudulent paper to
replenish his purse. A few COM
plants have been sworn to but we
have no recollection of any prosecu-
tions being carried through.
To allow this state of affairs to
continue is simply holding out in
ducements for petty criminals to
commit greater crimes. Of course,
the prosecuting attorney is not to be
held responsible for any laxity in the
method of conducting his office if the
persons who are direct.. the losers
fail to do their duty, but it is a state
of affairs that should be remedied
and the sooner the better for all con-
cerned.
