IGNORES
BLOOM FIELD
AT MEETING.

NEWARK, Nov. 5:-Back again
in his home town in East Orange last
night John Franklin Fort, the re-
publican candidate for governor
summed up What he has been saying
throughout the state, making one or
two additions. One of them, which
concerned his stand on the excise
question, came in this form:
1t is a righteous and just law" he
said, referring to the Bishops law,
land if the men against me defeat
the republican party let them look
out for worse law in consequence" :"
Charles A. Bloomfield and Alden
Freeman were present at both meet
ings. Neither challenged Mr.. Fort to
discuss the Perth Amboy bridge mat
ter, nor was either challenged by Mr..
Fort or Governor Stokes, who also
spoke.
A statement regarding this silence
was issued later in the evening by
Mr.. Bloomfield, in which he said:
Il came here to Newark at the close
of the campaign to give Mr.. Fort an
opportunity to meet me face to face and
challenge any of the statements | have
made regarding him. Mr.. Fort and his
political friends had denied what l had
said. 1 came out in the open to give
them a chance to speak to me man to
man last night. ] was present at both
meetings. There was Governor Stokes
and there was Mr.. Fort. / had hoped
that they would have courage enough
to challenge me, but they did not dare.
That they knew of my presence is GER
tain. When l went to the East Orange
meeting ! shook hands with Senator
Colby and talked with him for some
time, until he was called away. AL
though | sent no formal message to Mr.
Fort or to Governor Stokes through
Senator Colby, both knew that l was at
the meeting, from the senator as well
as from other sources. L did not take
the initiative and speak. 1t was their
meeting and it would not have been
gentlemanly or dignified on my part to
have said anything unless Mr. Fort
spoke first"
Mr.. Fort, when asked after the meet
ing why he had ignored the presence of
Mr.. Bloomfield, said:
Il have nothing to say about Mr..
Bloomfield and do not care what he
says"
1t was after the East Orange meeting
when Mr.. Fort was surrounded by his
personal as well as political friends
that he made the above statement con-
cerning the outcome of the election.
His home town had given him one of
the most enthusiastic welcomes that he
had received anywhere. Three minutes
cheering had followed his introduction
by John B. Woolston, chairman of the
meeting. and there were constant
pauscs during the speech, made neces-
sary by the applause.

TAFT MAY NOT
MAKE A TOUR
OF The WORLD

MANILA, Nov. Secretary Taft
is considering the abandonment of
the rest of his worlds tour and may
Immediately return to the United
States. The financial crisis and the
urgent political demands for his pres
ence at home, together with the
recent mutiny and continued disor-
ders at Vladivostock, is understood
to be behind the growing convictions
that it is best for him to give up his
original plan of circulating the globe.
No positive decision has yet been
reached, but the general impression
in official circles is that everything
points to the secretary's departure
within a few days for San Francisco.

VAN RAN INTO
CARRIAGE AND
MADETROUBLE

collision in which serious results
were narrowly averted occurred yes
terday afternoon on Smith street.
The horses attached to a large van
belonging to the Manufacturers Can
Company. of Newark, started up the
street without the driver and ran
into horse and buggy in which was
seated young woman.
She quickly sprang from the seat,
and in her excitement began to back
the carriage on the sidewalk, almost
running it into the window of Wool
worth's five-and-ten-cent store
Pedestrians scudled right and leii to
get out of the way, and window
cleaner was nearly knocked off his
perch on the ladder. No one was
hurt, however, and things quickly
quieted down.

for Frank Kissky These are the two

Ides is described as an all-around
crook, associate of railroad thieves
and a dangerous man when cornered.
He is said to have made the boast

BISHOPS LAW BEING
OPENLY VIOLATED IN
PERTH AMBOY TODAY.

While the Bishops law is one of
the main issues in today's election,
it is being openly violated in this city
today. One of the main features in
the law is that all bars shall be ex-
posed during hours when it is IL
legal to sell liquor. Election day is
one of the times when all saloons
should be closed and bars exposed
to the streets. While some have
complied with this law, it is gener-
ally not the case. One politician
said this morning that anyone could
get drink who wanted it. A NEWS
man made a tour of the
streets and found many saloons doing
business. IN some The hats of the
men standing at the bar were visible
outside and at nearly all it was i'm
possible to see the bar from the
street.

While some saloons made no pre-
tense at all to open the doors in the
window and screens, others had the
little doors open, but had theatre
posters hung over the opening, so
that the view of the interior was
hidden.
In one or two instances the city
ordinance is being violated in not
having the name of the saloonkeeper
displayed on the outside.
Throughout the city there seems
to be' much Indifference as to the
liquor law and saloonkeepers and
hotel men are left to do about as
they please in every particular.
Whether this will be changed before
night remains to be seen. Up to
hoontime, however, nothing had been
done toward enforcing the Bishops
law here

PROSPECTS OF A LARGE VOTE.

Unusual interest is being mani
tested in the election today, although
the vote up to noon was 912. which
was lighter than last year at the same
hour by seventy votes. 1t was
heavier than the vote two years ago
when aldermen were being elected in
the same wards as this year and also
an alderman-at-large.
Two sets of detectives are on duty.
but there have been few challenges.
Large crowds are grouped about sew
eral or the polling places, particu-
larly in the second and sixth wards,
at Rector and Smith streets. and
Elizabeth street and Hall avenue, re-
spectively. The detectives had little
to do, however, there being few
challenges, and it having been found
that many so-called discrepancies in
the registry lists were simply due to
the unfamiliarity of the out-of-town
sleuths with local conditions.
A warrant was issued about noon
for the arrest of the chief of the
O'Brien detective force on a charge
of assault preferred by Peter Larson,
Jr. Chief Callahan had grabbed Lar
son after seeing the latter receive a
couple of dollars from his brother,
who is candidate in the fourth
ward. Larson claims the loan was
simply a personal matter. Callahan
gave Larson talking to and let him
go. Larson then secured the assault
warrant from the recorder, and it
was given to the city marshal to
serve. The recorder said he would
give Callahan an immediate hearing
upon his arrest, SO as not to impede
the latter's duties.
When Callahan was served with
the warrant he was taken to head.
quarters and the case was adjourned
until Z o'clock Thursday night. J.
e. Stricken appeared as his counsel
The vote at noon today was as fol-
lows: First ward, 1856; second ward,
231; third ward, 1873; fourth ward,
1913; fifth ward, 70; sixth ward, 81.
Trouble was reported with the bal
lot boxes in the second, fourth and
sixth wards this morning, but they
were soon in working order.
There was also kick in the sixth
ward about the action of the de-
tectives.

HIGH DIVER INJURED
At CAMBRIDGE CITY
Bounded from the Net Into the
Street and Was Badly
Bruised.
RALPH GREEN THE VICTIM
JAW WAS DISLOCATED, BUT
THERE WAS NO FRAcTURE-IN-
DicATIoNs ARE FOR FULL RE-
COVERY.

Cambridge City, Ind, June 6.--In
the presence of large throng of peo-
pie Ralph Green of Muncie, Ind, who
does a high dive act with the Buck
skin Ben Wild West carnival and
street fair, showing here this week,
received dangerous injuries by bound
ing out of tile net, into which he div
ed and alighting in the street, where
a large number of the spectators were
standing This morning the young
man was reported to be resting quite
easy and will probably recover.
Green does most thrilling act He
ascends ninety foot pole and from
the top of which he dives into a net.
The net is quite a small one, last
night Green dove from the top of the
pole and alighted squarely in the cen
ter of the net The force of his body
coming in contact with the net knock
ed one of the wooden net supports
loose and when Green rebounded from
the net he went over the side and fell
with stunning force into the street.
As he fell from the rebound the pole
which was knocked loose from its po-
sition, swung high in the air and
struck Green a terrific blow in the
jaw, which disfocated it but did not
cause a fracture.
In an unconscious condition the
young man was picked up and carried
to the Central House, where he was
cared for by Dr. Litteli. Last even
ing Green had several internal hem
orages but an examination showed
that no bones had been broken.
Green's entire body is a mass of bruis-
es. 1t is feared that the young man
has received internal injuries.
Green has been following his dan
serous vocation for about a year. One
of the showmen stated this morning
that the young man had made the
high dive hundreds of times but that
last night was the first time he had
ever been dangerously injured.
