FORT TALKS TO WoRKMEN.
Strongly Upholds the Jersey Sunday
Law in Trenton Speech.

TRENTON. October 31.-Several hun
dred employees of the John Roe bling Sons
Company greeted John Franklin Fort. re-
publican candidate for governor, at the
plant of the Roeblings here yesterday aft
ernoon. Mr.. Fort made a special trip to
speak to the employees, and in his speech
upheld the CLOSED Sunday and the Bish-
op law. He also made the declaration
that if elected he would be the governor
of the workingman as well as of the cap
talst.
Plunging al once into the open Sum-
day issue the candidate said: Il believe
the enforcement of that law has been
beneficial and will continue to be bene
fetal to every workingman and every
other man In the state. The boon of
having one day of rest TO spend with his
family is a privilege of great value to
every man in any community. Home is "A
much better place for a man when not at
work than anywhere else.
Il am told by a member of the Roeh-
ling firm that 1t is greatly interested in
this question because of the interest of
the firm in its employees and their well
fare. One of the firm has just made this
statement to me: I see no improperly
in you telling our men that 1t is our OBJ
servation that with the saloons closed on
Sunday it is much better for the men who
depend upon their weekly wages for
livelihood. and also for his family. than
when the saloons are open on Sunday.
Gov Stokes said Yesterday: II have no
doubt of the election of Judge Fort az
governor by a very large majority. The
indications all favor republican success.
Indeed. it seems to me the prospects are
more assuring this year than they were
in any of the previous gubernatorial cam

SQUARE DEAL GONE WRONGp
Preacher Criticises the President
Bishop Potter on "Ostentat1on.

NEW YORK. October At the fall
meeting of the Methodist Social Union of
Brooklyn, held Tuesday night in the New
York Avenue Methodist Church. Bishop
Henry c. Potter spoke on The Churches
and Social Unrest" In part he said:
The tragedy of the American nation is
that when we pass from poverty to wealth
we pass also to reckless and silly extrava-
eance. This American grotesqueness of
ostentaton is shown in the case of a GER
tain politician who won diamond sus-
pender buckle. Such a man has already
developed the characteristics that will
place him. as this man has been placed,
in state prison. Such ostentation comes
from the fact that people forget that the
stewardship of wealth is as sacred as the
stewardship of talent"
The Rev. John II. Wiley of St. Mark s
Church. on Ocean avenue. who followed
Bishop Potter, spoke on The Square
Deal" saying:
"The square deal has gone wrong. The
church does not get it, and even the orig
inator of the phrase, that modern Daniel
come to judgment, can preach II better
than he can practice It. Even he is not
always square. He goes into the cane

TEST BALLOON SCARED 8 MILES.
Ill Degrees Below Zero Found at a
Height of 1880 Feet.

NEW YORK October 31-That A bal
loon has reached height of 46.6sO feet
and there recorded a temperature of Ill
degrees below zero Fahrenheit was one
of the statements made in the course of
an address at the last days sessions of
the aeronautfcal congress here Tuesday
by Prof A Lawrence Rotch of the Blue
Hill observatory. Boston. Prof. Rotch
told of his long series of experiments with
miniature balloons for the purpose of
testing air currents and obtaining tenn
peratures at high attitudes The bal
looms are made of rubber and carry spe-
cial instruments for recording distance
Travelled. altitude and temperature. which
are attached to a parachute When at a
great height the hydrogen with which the
balloons are filled expands to an extent
where the balloon itself explodes and the
parachute carrying the instruments and
the records made on the trip floats down
to GARTH
During the course of his experiments
Prof. Rotch has sent up some eighty bal
looms. and great number of the para
chutes have been returned to him. Prac-
tically all of the temperature balloons
have been sent up from ST. Louis in the
past two years. When the balloons are
released they travel upward for about
two hours, and then remain nearly sta
tionary for another hour before they eX-
plode- The descent of the parachute re-
quires about hour more. The longest
flight of any one of the balloons was 100
miles.
Prof. Rotch said that his experiments
also showed that at a distance of about
eight miles from the earth's surface in
the temperate zone, the temperature re-
corded, which had been falling at the
rate of about one degree for each 200 Or
300 yards. began suddenly to rise again.
proving that there was a stratum of
warm air above where intense cold had
been recorded Similar strata had also
been discovered by similar experiments in
Europe. he said but at lower altitude,
and about the same altitude, in the arctic
regions. At the equator balloons had been
sent up. but at the highest altitude reach
ed the warm stratum had not been found
1t was announced that the United States
weather bureau is to continue the expert
ments begun by Prof. Rotch at a score
of places throughout the country, with
the particular object of investigating the
action of storm areas and cold waves.
On Monday night, at the rooms of the
Aero Club, the International cup will be
presented to Oscar Erbsloeh. winner OF
the st. Louis race. Mr.. Erbsloeh yester-
day received the following cablegram
from the Emperor of Germany:
Many thanks for your greeting, and
our warmest congratulations on your for

BIG POULTRY SHOW.
Exhibits From Thirty-Three States
at Jamestown Meeting.

Special p1spafch TO Inc star.
NORFOLK. Va. October 31.-With more
than 5000 chickens. geese. ducks and tur-
keys and pigeons. in singles and in pens,
the poultry show was held last week at
the Jane stown exposition
The exhibits represented thirty-three
states and more than 300 of the best
breeds in the country. Experts declared
that the show. for quality, surpassed any
thing ever held. and there was keen COM
petition in the various classes.
The keenest class was that of Rhode
Island reds. in which there were more than
300 entries. and the struggle for prizes
was really a fight between breeders of the
north and the south. each side contending
for their particular breed.
There were a number of fine birds entered
from Maryland. too. Mrs. T. W. Turner
of Baltimore had number of white wy
andotes. while Mr. and Mrs. Mclean
P. Spencer of Sharon had number of
golden wyandotes William r. Powers
of Owings Mills. who this year has won
and Timonium, had a number of brown
leghorns.
The first prize in the largest class en-
tered-the Rhode Island reds-Was won by
Frank Langford of Nashville, Tenn, on
his first cockerel. This was pronounced one
of the grea test birds in the show. Mr..
Langford also won third cock, third hen,
fourth and six cooke rels and fourth and
sixth pullets.
Mr. w. B. Lansden of Manchester,
Tenn. won second and fifth pullets. fifth
cockerel and second hen in the Rhode Is
land red class. In the brown leghorns
class, the second largest class exhibit,
Mrs. Florence Forbes of New Decatur,
Ala. won the prize on first cock, this be-
ing one of the most coveted prizes offered
for the show. She has christened the bird
Teddy Roosevelt and. on account of
the rivalry between northern and south
ern breeders in this class. she was much
delighted.
