Congressman Lever is crowning
himself with glory in the National
House. In another column we pub
Ish an article from the Columbia
Record. Through his instrumentality
Congressman Burton visited Celum-
bia last year and took a trip down
the Congaree as far as Georgetown.
AS result of this trip and through
the tireless efforts of Congressman
Lever, the House has passed an ap-
preparation bill, which carries an
amount of $3.50, 900 for the further
opening up Of the Congaree, santee
and Wateree rivers. This appropria-
tion means more for South Carolina,
perhaps, than any. other amount ever
received from Congress. It means a
general reduction in freight rates
throughout the entire State, and this
certainly WILDE large saving to the
people, The work that this young
=
Congressman is doing for the people,
of his district-not only for the people
Of his district, but for the State of
South Carolina at large-is receiving
the commendation Of all classes. The
fight that he made for Columbia q
few weeks ago when there was a
probability of a Sub-treasury being
established in the South, was the
strongest and the most effective ever
made by any one representative from
this State. He is continually doing
something for the people he repre-
sents and they have time and time
again shown their appreciation of his
services.

PARoLED ON A
Greek Merchants ouizzed About Printed
Reference to "Scapegoat.'

Three hours were spent yesterday
afternoon at the examination of the
Greek business men of this city who
are charged with criminal libel by
George d. Pappas. the charge growing
out of an article printed in a Greek
in which the plaintiff was
called a s%capegoat, and in which his
general character and reputation were
attacked.
The examination was I'm the First
Criminal Court before Judge Howell
Nicholas Zuzulus, Nicholas Pshihas.
George Mpakos, Gus Pappas. James
Gelardis and George Penek- the re-
spondents who were charged with GRIM
inal libel by Pappas, were paroled for
the Grand Jury after h examination.
All of the parties in the case are
members of st. Nicholas's Greek
Church. The church is divided int
two factions. and both sides have been
more or less bitter in their attacks on
the other.
No defense was put in yesterday.
but it is evident that the defense will
be that the translation OF the article
into the English language is not cor
rect.

DEMOCRATS OF UNION
HEAR KATZEMBACH.
~Dfsappoints Them, However, by Not
Touching on Liquor Question.
The County Ticket.

ELIZABETH. Sept. 26.-The Union
County Democratic convention, with
Frank S. Katzenbach, Democratic Cub
ernatorial candidate, as its special
guest, assembled in Turn Hall last
night, and amid lots of enthusiasm
made the following nominations with
out a contest:
For surrogate-Leroy A. Gibbey. of
Summit.
For of Assembly-wilIiam
e. Tuttlc, of Westheld; Frederick
Rielce, of Elizabeth, and Thomns II.
Gcrtnnner, of Railway.
For Coroner-Dr. l.. n. ,McIIhenny,
of Elizabeth.
1t had been expected that James e.
Desmond, member of the Board of
Education and representative of the
labor men. would make a contest fer
one of the nominations, but at the last
moment he his withdrawal.
The nomination of Gertanner was a
surprise, his name not having been ire
viously mentioned. Not half the dele
gates had heard of him, but there vas
no opposition. John p. Owens. of
Plainfleld, had beer mentioned for the
third place.
James e. MARITIME was made temper
airy and permanent chairman Of the
convention. The farmer orator was
accorded one of the greatest ovations
he has ever received in the thirty years
he has figured in Union County politics
and he has received a good many. For
fully five minutes he was cheered and
applauded.
Mr.. Katzenbach made a disappointing
address. as the audience had expected
to learn his attitude on some Of the
vital questions of the day. In a very
short speech he merely touched or
some of the alleged misdoings Of thu
Republican party as revealed by th'
Hahn investigating committee. which
have been threshed over in the news
papers. He reiterated his statement
made at Trenton yesterday that he had
made no pledge. no promise. to secure
the nomination and was absolutely un'
fettered. He said a few words II
favor of James f.. MARITIME. his lat
opponent for the nomination, and i'm
mediately gained the good viii Of tn
delegates.
MIR. Katzenbach brought with hin
Martin p. Devlin. who placed his nam
in nomination before the state conven
ton. Mr.. Devlin was introduced as
.young Cicero" He denounced the Re
publican party and the present I'D
m~inistration.
The platform is practically n dupli
cate of the one adopted In the stat
convention.

IN SPEECH TO JURORS
FORT CUTS POLITICS.

HOBOKEN, Sept. 26.-In his
speech as the guest of the Hud-
son County April Grand Jury. at Its
dinner given in honor of the foreman,
Frederick M. Lockwood. in the Lacka-
wanna terminal restaurant last
night, Mr.. Fort refrained from n
political talk. 1t was the las jury he
charged as an associate justice of the
Supreme Court, and he confined himself
strictly to matters of Grand Jury and
court nature.
As the dinner was nearing its close
and the customary gifts were being
made, the former justice received a
medal with the seal Of Hudson County
stamped upon It.
Prosecutor William H. Speer acted as
postmaster, and in introducing tho
guest of the evening dwelt on the es-
TEEN in which the Hudson bar held Mr..
Fort and its regret at his departure
from the judiciary. In his response The
candidate said, in part:
Mr.. Toastmaster and gentlemen OF the
Grand Jury, my condition has changed In

with you tonight as your presiding JUS
ticc. instead. ! am here as the friend OF

much manhood to refer 10 II in the pres

Mr.. Fort bowed In the direction Of Snrro-

crat. and the listeners applauded. He
went on 10 tell the members of the tnry
tina they must not heed, the criticisms of

PROFESSOR RENOMlNATED.
Senator Briggs Shows His Power in
Mercer County's Politics.

TRENTON, Sept. 26.-The masterful
hand of United States Senator Frank O..
Briggs was shown in local politics here
yesterday, when Professor Henry d. Thomp-
son, of Princeton University, was renomi-
mated for the Assembly by the Mercer
County Republicans. This will be his
third term, his election being assured, as
the county is strongly Republican. His
denomination was opposed by General c.
Edward Murray and other county leaders.
because he refused, last winter, to vote
for the reelection of United States Sena-
tor John F. Dryden.
The other Assembly candidates of the
Republicans are DR.. e. II. Ginnelley and
George d. Housed, both of this city. DR..
Ginneliey is president of the Common
Council of Trenton and Housed is a former
member of the Mercer County Board of
Chosen F~reeholders.

EXCISE FIGHT
THROUGHOUT
STATE
Is Purpose Of Liberal Citi-
zenS' Union, Which
ReOrganizes.

That the Liberal Citizens Union
should extend its york throughout the
county and State was the opinion ex-
pressed unanimously at a largely at
tended meeting in Michels Hall, South
Orange venue, last night. Reorganiza-
tion for the year was effected by the
reelection of the following officers:
President, Elias Berla; Vice-president,
Henry j.. Schaedel; secretary. George
Hoerig, and treasurer, George Grimme.
Each of them had been active in last
years aggressive work for liberal ex-
else legislation, and when the voters
a shown their confidence in these
men by putting them at the head of the
organization once more, there was APP
plause, and speeches by each followed.
They were expressive of thanks for the
honor conferred and a promise to work
hard and faithfully for the success Of
the union.
When it came to the discussion of
the extension OF the organization be-
yond the city limits several of the
voters present voiced the sentiment
that the matter could be readily ac-
complished and that it was of vital
Importance that there should be a uni
ted front throughout the State against
further curtailment of personal lib
eTty."
One of the resolutions passed was to
the effect that ward organizations.
such as hose created last year, when
the union first came into existence,
should be put in the field once more.
In furtherance of this feature of the
movement each of these ward organ
i2ations, II was decided. should send
3. representative to the executive com
mittee of the union, who is to act as
one of its vice-presidents.
1t is to be the duty of the executive
COMMITTEES to arrange meetings in SOW
eral sections of the city.
One of the speakers, George Herr
mann. remarked that the unions in
iuence would be much greater this
year because the New Jersey Ffeie
Zeitung, the only daily German news
paper in the State, although Graded in
Republicanlsm, had bolted the State
ticket n fallen in line for Katzen-
bach.
Henry ]. Schaedel also entered a good
word for the newspaper in question.
and before the meeting was over Sec
rotary Hoerig was directed to send to
its owners a vote of hanks for its
"energetic and manly support of the
interests of liberal citizens"
On motion of Julius Haus, of Irving
ton, where the formation of a liberal
league is under way, it was decided to
call the organization 1.-THE Liberal Citi-
Gems Union of Essex County"
A mass meeting will be held next
Wednesday night in MicheFs Hall,
when speeches will be made and the
representatives of the ward o%rganiza-
lions will submit reports.

FRENCH TRAIN WRECK
NOT AT ALL SERIOUS.
Americans Only Slightly Hurt and sail
for Home on the Steam
ship Adriatic.

PARIS, Sept. 26.-The agent Of the
White Star Line at Cherboure teie-s
graphed to Paris at a late hour last
night that all the passengers who were
in the steamer train wreck in the Bre-
val tunnel yesterday had sailed on the
Adriatic. Six of the Americans had
slight scratches. which they treated
as of no Importance; only one of the
women passengers, Miss F. X. Haskell.
complained of her bruises.
An explanation of the fact that so
few of the American passengers were
injured is found in the circumstances
that most of them were in the dining
car at the time of the collision.
DR.. Bonneau, of Nantes, who was
called to attend the passengers, says
that none of the Americans sustained
serious injury.

GET ON ONE TICKET.

kins Freeman, TO compel the Metucheh
election board to place his name on the
Democratic ticket for Mayor. Freeman
ran at the primaries for the Republic
can nomination and was defeated, but
at the eleventh hour ran enough votes
into the Democratic box to give him a
majority over Thorin TAFT.
The election board held that the Free
man Democratic ballots were marked
and rejected them, giving TAFT the GER

box at a primary. but Justice Swayze
held otherwise. The court reserved de-
cision, but said that, if necessary, the
primary boxes would be ordered opened
to find out who was nominated.
