DEFER SELECTION OF
CUSACK'S SUCCESSOR.
Twelfth Ward Democrats to Wait Till
Vacancy Is Officially De-
olared

Although the members of the Democrat
tic executive committee Of the Twelfth
Ward met last night for the express pur-
pose of selecting a successor for Free
holder John Cusack. whose mental condi-
tion precludes attention to his duties, il
was finally decided not to make the ap-
pointment until o vacancy Is officially de-
clared.
1t was decided to put the question as
to whether the vacancy exists legally up
to the party leaders. If the leaders decide
that 1t is for the best interests of the
party to have a successor appointed for
Mr. Cusack the necessary legal machinery
to have the vacancy declared will be
started.
School Commissioner Dennis Toye, of
that ward, seems to have n majority of
the votes in case a successor is to be ap'
pointed for the present afflicted incumbent
Mr.. Cusack.
The other business of the committee hac
TO do with a consideration of the majorit,
the Twelfth Ward would give. Various
estimates were given. but all agreed tina
the vote this year would be overwheln
ingly in the Democratic column.

A dispassionate and unprejudiced
survey of the political field indicates
the election OF Frank S. Katzenbach
as Governor of New Jersey, but the
vote in Essex County may turn this
upside down. Before reaching this
conclusion every effort has been made
to get accurate information, not for
the purpose of bolstering up any hope
or opinions, but simply to ascertain
the exact conditions. Here and there
conflicting air currents are met, but
the drift seems to be towards Katzen-
bach, and unless there is a change
within the next forty-eight hours, his
election is reasonably sure, provided
that the Republicans don't run up a
plurality of nearly 5000 in Essex. The
Democrats can win without Essex
the Republicans can't.
The Democrats are enthusiastic and
harmonious-more so than ever be-
fore. On the other hand. thousands of
those who have been helping to main
tain Republican supremacy In this
State are now either hostile or in
different-mostiy the latter-and the
present Indications are that many of
them won't vote at all. This is entirely
apart from the detection from the Re-
publican ranks on the excise question.
That is going to cut large figure
In Essex, Hudson, Passaic, Atlantic,
Middlesex and Monmouth counties. all
though it will be partly Offset by the
temperance Democrats, who are likely
to vote the Republican ticket.
II the Republican managers could
rely ON the vote of every nominal Re-
publican in the State they should win
by comfortable margin, but the pres
ent outlook Is that they can't do any
thing of the kind. Each side claims
Essex by a plurality of from 1000 to
5000, but unless all the signs and por-
tents are to be read differently this
year from all other years, this county
is going to turn its back to the Re
publicans, and this will be due, in a
large measure, to the tireless, adroit
and thorough campaign waged by the
Freie Zeitung. That newspaper has the
udT1eS anu duQItSSeS OIL LDOu-
sands of Republicans who say
that they intend to cut Fort
and the four so-called Colby Assem-
blymen, but will vote for the other
nominees on the Republican ticket.
That is easy enough to do in the dis
tricts where paper ballots are in use.
but with the voting machines it is
different. The organizers of this move-
ment want to make sure of the election
of the seven Regular" Republican As
senbly candidates, and Of the reelec-
ton of Judge Eggers to the Board of
Works. but they are somewhat un-
easy lest the machines impel many
to vote the straight Democratic ticket
rather than to take the trouble of
scratching, and possibly losing their
vote. The defeat of Judge Eggers

M'CREA ON VISIT HERE.

The Waverly, Greenville and Bay
Ridge yards of the Pennsylvania Rail
road were visited yesterday by Presi-
dent McCrea and the board of directors
of the road. The tour is being con-
tinued today in Manhattan, and it is
expected that the officials will arrive
at the Harrison terminal some time
| this afternoon. The tour followed the
annual meeting, which was held at
| Philadelphia yesterday morning.
The trip was made in a special car,
which backed up into the Waverly
wards and afforded the officials of the
road an opportunity to inspect the
grounds Everything was found in ex-
cellent shape and the men were compl-
mented.
In the party besides President Nc
Crea were Presidents John p.
Green, Samuel Rea, J. b. Thayer and
Henry Tatnall and Directors T. Dewitt
Cuyler. Lincoln Godfrey, c. A. Griscom,
Percival Roberts, ir,. and p. A. lnger-
sol. and from the operating department
Chief of Motive Power T. n, Ely, w.
w. Atterbury, Chief Engineer Shand,
Passenger Traffic Manager j. r. Wood,
Secretary Lewis Nelson. Electrical SUI
eral Traffic Manager A. L. Langdon
and President Ralph Peters, of the
Long Island Railroad Company, sub
sidiary corporation.
Following Is the official statement issued
at the direction of President McCrea:
''In answer TO an inquiry about the pos
sible requirements of the PennsylVanla
Railroad Company for 1903, President Nc
Crea said that, in view of the unsatisfac-
tory outlook for raising new capital IN
1908, it was, in his Judgment, necessary
and prudent for the company to continue
its policy of not beginning any new work
or committing the company to any capital
reduirements except those absolutely
necessary economically TO handle its
traffic.
with that end in view. the Pennsyl-
yauia Company will undoubtedly restrict
its needs to minimum, and will not push
the work on the New York tunnel extern
sion or other incomplete Improvements as
vigorously as In the past This will some
what delay the completion of the New
York tunnel as a whole, but progress on
the East River tunnel. the erection of steel
for the terminal building In New York
and work affecting the city streets and
avenues will not be materially retarded by
the proposed slower expenditure"
After the officials and directors had COM
pleted their inspection tour of Long ISL
and none of them would say anything
more explicit than the above statement.
They asserted there would be no complete
cessation of work at any point in the tun-
mel improvements, but that no further ef-
fort would be made to break records or
to begin new Improvements.
There were runors yesterday that the
retrenchment at this time is not due so
much to inability to get necessary capital
as to the uncertainty concerning the term
inal plans of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Company In New York. Sew
eral of the officials refused to discuss
this point except to declare that the com
pany's relations with the New Haven had
nothing whatever to do with the present
action of the Pennsylvania

After being missing since last Sun
day, when they went to go sailing on
the Passaic River, Alfred and Sher-
wood Nelson, of 27 Boston street, for
whose safety fears were entertained by
their mother, Mrs. Hulda Nelson, re-
turned home last night at 6 o'clock.
In explaining his absence Alfred said
that he and his brother did not start
on the sailing trip until Monday night,
tho weather being little too rough on
Sunday When they reached Sandy
Hook they found it necessary to put
into shore for repairs. 1t took several
hours to make the repairs, and the
craft and its occupants did not sail
up the Passaic River to it's moorings
until o'clock yesterday afternoon, at
the time that Mrs. Nelson made her
fears known to the police.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. "A few
hours after Adolph Popp, 40 years old,
of Spring Garden street, near Elev-
enth avenue, was arrested last night
on warrant sworn out by his wife
in Newark, N. j., charging desertion.
A young woman thought to be Juliana
Popp, 16 years old, his foster child,
with whom he is charged with eloping
two years ago, committed suicide by
drinking carbolic acid.
The girl was found unconscious
shortly before II o'clock by detec-
tive who had returned to interview
her. He Immediately summoned the
Hahnemann Hospital ambulance, but
the woman was dead when examined
at the hospital.
bottle of the poison found In her
room was labeled with the business
card of Newark druggist. This leads
the police TO believe that the pair had
formed suicide past.
Popp and the dead girl had been liv-
ing as man and wife, the police were
informed, at the Springgarden street
house for nearly all of the two years
since he disappeared from Newark.
: His wife's charges state that Popp had
persuaded his foster child. whom they
had reared from infancy, TO elope with
him.
When detectives made the arrest the
young girl seemed heartbroken by the
affair and refused to give any infor-
nation concerning herself or the man.
Popp's whereabouts became known 20
his wife by means of letter. He was
surprised by the detectives last night
and had no opportunity to fulfil the
suicide agreement, If any existed. He
was taken to City Hall.
It was not until ! O'clock that he
learned of his companions death, and
the news so affected him that he
broke down and cried. He will be ar
raigned before Magistrate Beaton in
the Central Station and held to await
extradition.
Mrs. Popp is expected at the hearing.
The arrest of the man was made at the
instigation of the Essex County prose-
cutor's office under the direction of Chief
Fred Weimer. He has been following the
man ever since he left this city with the
girl. The complaint against the man was
made by his wife.
When Popp first left Newark he went
to a small place in New York State called
Roselle, and then to Buffalo The authori-
ties were following him. but he managed
to escape them. Trace of him was lost
until recently, when he was located in
Philadelphia.
Chief Weimer sent Detective Godfrey to
the city. and with the aid of the Phila-
delphia detectives caught Popp last night.
when he returned from work 1t was after
Popp had been taken from the house that
the girl took the acid.
Mrs. Popp had been living at 500 SPRING
field avenue when her husband and the
girl disappeared. The girls name was
1atner. but when she was received into
the Popp house she became known by their
name. Neither the Popps nor the girl
were long In this country They all came
from Germany where the Popps had
known the girls family.

ELIZABETH, Nov. The Rev. DR..
Henry Hale sleeper, rector of Grace Epis-
copal Church, issued a plea last night for
the election of J. Franklin Fort in a long
statement, in which he declares that New
Jersey will honor herself by so doing, and
add another TO the list of availables for
the Presidency.
DIR. Sleeper says that the election has
become a clear moral issue with the Re-
publican candidate on one side by out
spoken advocacy of all that makes for
purity. temperance and Righteousness, -
and Mr.. Katzenbach on the other hand,
has been silent aud evasive. DR.. Sleeper
declares that the brewers and saloon in
terests are supporting the Democratic
cause for their own personal ends, and
asserts that It is the common belief that
"the silent candidate has been muzzled
by those who put him in nomination and
must be expected to obey their orders If
elected Governor"

PROBABLY ABANDONED.
Bridge Construction by Local Syndi-
cate Over Potomac at Great Falls.

Secretary Taft said today that no further
action had been taken by the War Depart
ment in the matter of the application Of the
local syndicate. represented by Mr.. E. Baier,
for permission to build suspension bridge
across the Potomac river at Great Falls and
he assumed that the project had been aban-
doned. A few weeks ago the Secretary held
up the license which had been previously
granted by the department for erection of
the proposed structure in order to obtain
more definite Information In regard to the
details of the project.
1t was understood that the syndicate in
addition to building the bridge intended to
erect a summer hotel on the island in the
middle of the river at Great Falls but that
they have now abandoned the project be-
cause of their failure to secure the neces-
sary financial assistance from the United
States government or from other sources.
While the matter was under consideration,
a protest against granting the desired
license was filed by officers of the Great
Falls and Old Dominion Railway Company,
who representated that the proposed struct-
ures would interfere with their rights and
privileges
In view Of the present condition of affairs
1t is not now regarded as at all likely that
any bridge will be constructed at Great
Falls during the present season.
