GALL LENTZ TRAITOR.
Essen County Republicans accuse
Former Boss of Bad Faith.

On the eve of what is expected to be one of
the most interesting state elections ever wit
messed in New Jersey Major Carl Lentz. the
discarded Essex County boss and former chair
man of the Republican County Committee was
charged yesterday with treachery as regards the
candidacy of John Franklin Fort for Governor
and the four New Idea candidates for Assembly.
Republican political circles got Jolt yester-
day when il developed that voters, about 1900
in ALL throughout the county had received Re
publican ballots with the name of Mr.. Fort
and Henry c. Hines, William P. Martin, Austen
Colgate and W Fellowes Morgan, the four Col
bvites. scratched. State Senator Everett Colby
was the first direct public attention TO the
alleged trick and he declared he had been told
by Secretary John Flavel Of the county com
mittee that Major Lentz was responsible for
the issuance of the circulars. which purported
to come from the Home Rule League"
Of course Major Lentz denied knowledge OF
the circulars and declared that Flavell had told
an untruth Little or nothing is known of the
'Jome Rule League" In political circles, but IT
is believed that number Of German American
voters with liberal tendencies were members
Of It, FIavell said he based his assertion on
what two young men had told him at the county
headuuarters yesterday morning. They applied
for work, saying they had been sending out the
Home Rule League" circulars.
Chairman Dalrymple or the RepupnCaH Coul-
~ Committee said yesterday he felt confident
that Mr Fort would carry the county by a
majority of at least FIVE thousand votes. This
estimate was taken by the Democrats as a very
conservative one for Essex Republicans VINO
usually roH up pluralities of from twelve thou
sand to forty thousand in the county. The
Democrats count on carrying the county but
do not attempt to go into figures Several OF
the leaders have said they will be satisfied II
the ticket Just squeezes through in Essex
which they declare will mean a clean sweep
for the party throughout the state.
week ago Fort money was plentiful the
odds at one time going 10 10 TO Z in his favor
Tonight the conditions were reversed and men
with Katzenbach money. were unable to find
takers even at odds.
Ex-Uniteo States Senator James Smith, jr.,
predicted the election Of Frank S. Katzenbach.
jr the Democratic candidate for Governor, in
an interview which he gave yesterday
After saying that he had not been very we'll
in touch with the situation. Mr. Smith said he
thought the citizens of New Jersey were de-
sirous Of a change in political control. The
work Of the Hahn investigating committee, he
thought, had caused considerable sentiment
against the Republican party. The recent
financial troubles Mr.. Smith also said, had
much TO do with turning the tide against the
Republican administration.

A condition OF affairs now exists In
the lumber business in the south which
probably is without i parallel. In i
review of the situation the Southern
Lumber Journal Of this city in its issue
OF the 7th instant says:
In every state mills lave closed down
with others closing daily; some for
specific time, others Indefinitely or un-
til the prices Of lumber are restored.
The wage scale has been Teducd any
where from Is TO 80 per cent, some de-
claring that another cut will be in
augurated on the first Of 1908 unless
prices for manufactured lumber ad
vance in the meantime. Stocks are be-
low normal in some places and above
normal in others. with the demand al.
most at a standstill among the deal
ers and buyers at the consuming and
distributing ends Of the line.
From Virginia the reports show 49
Ilills closed down with 79 others
time, the percent of reduction in wages
averaging - per cent. In North car
olina SO mills are closed down, 123
running on one third TO one-half time,
on an average Of 20 per cent Georgia
reports 109 mills closed down and la
| running lss than half time with
reduction in the wage scale of 90 per
cent. Florida reports 79 mills idle and
IS mills running not exceeding half
time, and by December. 18th there will
be more than one hundred mills idle
! in the state.
Alabama-64 mills closed down and
SO working OH shorter hours. In that
state the wage scale amounts to any
where from Is to % per cent. Missis-
| sippi-71 mills idle and IS running
| from one-third to two-thirds time and
| the cut in the wage scale amounting
| to 20 per cent. Louisiana reports 46
mills closed down Indefinitely and SO
| operating on greatly reduced time,
where the reduction in the wage scale
, has been only about II per cent. Tex
January /, 1908, with 1O2 running on
! shorter hours. In Arkansas A mills
| are closed down for an indefinite pc
riod ard SO working on reduced hours,
/ amounting to about 80 per cent. Mis-
souri, reports 26 mills shut down and
47 running on half time.
Thus it will be seen that throughout
the southern pine producing states we
have direct record of 673 mills shut
down until after the opening of the
new year and possibly longer, with L.
055 others running anywhere from one
third TO one-Ealf time At the same
| time mills are closing down every day;
some because Of the exhaustion of
their lGmber holdings, Others because
Of the Inability to market their lum-
Der at a. profit. BY December 1st it
| is freely predicted that fully two
| thirds CT the mills in the south will be
closed down.
