FOURTH AT SEA GIRT
LEAVES FOR CAMP STOKES
WITH HEAVY ENROLMENT.
Reviewed by Mayor Pagan en- Route.
Annual Inspection to Be
Held Friday.

JERSEY CITY, July 2o.-The Fourth
Regiment is ready to go to Camp Stokes
today for its summer tour of camp duty.
The regiment will go with one of the
heaviest enrollments that the Fourth ever
sent to camp, nearly every company
having already reported that it has its
full quota of men. The large enrolment
is attributed by the officers of the regi-
ment to the decision of the State Military
Board to hold the annual inspection at
camp this year, instead of at the armory
during the winter.
/ The regiment assembled at the armory
at IL o'clock. and at 1890, at Colonel Bren-
singers command, marched down Mercer
street. Mayor Pagan viewed the regiment
from the Mercer street side of the City
Hall as it passed on it's way to the Penn
sylvana Railroad station.
The members of the various comp- nies
are making plans for their camp fun.
Company H, which will go down with one
of the biggest enrollments In the regiment,
has issued challenge to play baseball
with any other company In the regiment,
and they are sure to get takers.

GLIDDEN TOUR RUNS
SEvEREST TEST OF AUTOS
BEING MADE TODAY.
Rocky and Mountainous Roads, to Be
Travegsed In Pennsylvania--Suc-
oessful Thus Far.

PITTSBURG, July 20.-The Glidden
automobile tourists got away promptly
this morning on the run from Pittsburg
to Bedford Springs. The first car left
the Pittsburg control shortly after z
o'clock and within an hour the fifty
second and last car was on its way.
Eight and a half hours will be allowed
to cover the distance of 80 $40 miles,
and as the roads will be rough, rocky
and mountainous 1t is expected the cars
will be subjected to the severest test
of the tour.
Sunday the contestants will rest at
Bedford Springs and on Monday morn
ing they will start for Baltimore.
Twenty cars still maintain their perfect
scores, but If the average percentage
falls by the wayside every day on the
run from here to New York, the finish
ing point. as it has since the tour
started, there will be no perfect scores.
Speaking of the tour c. F. Glidden
said
"It has been the most successful yet
attempted and the work of the drivers
could not be improved upon. There
have been accidents, but this was in
the main due to the unfamiliarity of
the drivers with the roads. The roads
of Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsyl-
vania belong to that class known to
automobilists as bad and wretched. l
trust they will not be any worse in this
State than those we have encountered,
but from what / have heard look for
the worst today, particularly if it
rains"

SUPREME PRESIDENT.
Miss Mahoney, of Troy, N. Y, May Be
the Factor to Win or Lose for
Mrs. MCGOWAN.
Especial to the Evening STAR

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, July 20.-The
explosive point of the Ladies' Catholic
Benevolent Association convention in
session here was reached this morning.
By both the administration and anti
administration factions 1t Is conceded
the question of the selection of a su-
preme president will be made by night
fall.
When the morning session opened
both sides began to get busy passing
out ballots. The first test will be on
the award Of the contract for the print
ing of the associations official organ.
The Fraternal Leader. Miss Julia
Ward, of Chicago, is the holder of the
present contract. but some difficulty
has been discovered in making a unani-
nous selection this year. Miss Ward
controls a small bundle of votes. and
in view of the fact that the contest is
so close. this batch of votes is an
extremely valuable asset to both fac
tions.
1t is also understood that should Miss
Kate Mahoney, of Troy, N. Y. be hope.
lessly out of the running in the first
ballot she will attempt to swing her
supporters into line for Mrs. MCGOWAN
This will not probably be entirely sue
cessful, inasmuch as a large portion of
Miss Mahoney's supporters are against
Mrs. MCGOWAN, and rather than vote
for the Buffalo woman will cast their
ballots for Mrs. Costello.

HEAT CAUSES DEATH
EDWARD ZWIEFEL COL
LAPSES IN FACTORY.
Calls for Ambulances in Centre of City
Unanswered for Long
Time.

Edward Zweifel, 80 years old, of sos
Bergen street, an engineer employed
by the American Undergarment Com
pany, at "a Green street, died in the
Newark Private Hospital. Is Rosevllle
avenue, about o'clock last night,
death being caused by acute Bright's
disease, superinduced by heat exhaus-
ton. 1t was said that the mans death
resulted from an electric shock from
a huge dynamo on the third floor of the
building. and that his body was hor-
ribly burned, but this was not so.
The man has been in the employ of
the undergarment company as engineer
and handy man for the last eight years,
and yesterday the superintendent Of the
plant, Andrew w. McCabe. sent for
Zweifel to go fro mthe basement TO
look over the business phonograph on
the third floor. The phonograph is op-
Grated by a small storage battery.
While Zweifel was standing along
side of the machine he suddenly stag
gered and would have fallen to the
floor had not the superintendent caught
him Stimulants were given to the
fainting man and he soon revived, and
showed signs of having a convulsion.
Mr.. McCabe Immediately sent for a
number of physicians, and DIR. George
w. Hartman. of 900 Broad street, who
arrived first, administered more stimu-
lants. Zweifel recovered entirely, to
all appearances, and after saying he
was all right, returned to the base
ment to work
Later while shovelling coal into the
furnace he was taken with another
convulsion and DIR. Il. NJ. Riehman was
summoned. He advised that the man
be taken to a hospital The First Pre-
cinct police station was communicated
with, but the police ambulance was
out. and then the mans employers tried
to get the private ambulance of Smith
& Smith but without success.
In the meantime Zweifel had revived
considerably and stated that he felt
better, but the superintendent of the
plant was not satisfied and sent a
telephone message to the City Hos
pital. and the sufferer was removed in
the ambulance from that institution to
the Newark Private Hospital, where
he died several hours later.
The reporter for the EVENING STAR
and Detective Sergeant Templeton, of
the central office. were taken through
the plant by superintendent McCabe to-
day The place where the man first
was attacked is a large room with
about $50 girls employed at machine
finishing undergarments, and there is
not an electric wire in the room, the
machines being run by electricity from
a dynamo with the feed wire under
the noor.
