PUZZLES
ESSEX
Will Lose Honor
Should Hillery Become
Senate President.

Some of the members of the Repub-
lican Assembly ticket are anxious to
get together to select one of their num-
Der as their candidate for Speaker of
the House, which they will control in
1908. 1t is not likely, however. that a
meeting win be called for sometime yet.
Next Tuesday-Governor's Day-may
see a cleaning up of the situation, as
most of the successful candidates from
all parts of the State will assemble at
Trenton on that date.
So far as the s~peaketship is con-
cerned causes that will lead up to the
election of the presiding officer of the
House are in embryo. At the present
time, however. the only name promi-
nently mentioned as an Essex candi-
date is that of Alderman William p.
Martin.
Whether or not he would get the nm
divided support of the Essex delega-
ton is ~conjectural. although he is said
to stand well with the leaders because
of his work for the Republican ticket
this year.
Several of the local leaders who were
approached on the subject today by an
EVENING STAR reporter said that
they had heard no loud talk on the
speakership proposition thus far, and
that it was far too early for predic-
tons who the nex Speaker would be.
On the selection of the President of the
Senate depends the choice of the Speaker
OF the lower branch. II the tacitly under
stood program OF the Republicans TO name
Thomas ]. Hillery, president of
the upper branch of the Legislature Il
carried out, 1t is understood that tie
Speakership OF the House will go to South
Jersey.
Some Of the leaders said today that per-
haps the Speakership would not come to
Essex at all. The very same situation a.
this was responsible for the loss Of the
Speakership to Senator Everett Colby a
lew years ago.
Senator Cross was made President OF the
Senate and the Speakership Of the House
went to a South Jersey man. Senator
Cross was a North Jersey man.
All things considered the Sueakership
question is far from settled. and those
who have the selecting nave not decided
which part of the State viii have TIE
honor Of directing the affairs of the re-
s%pective branches Of tho 1S2d New Jersey
Legislature.

BROWN AIMS TO
MAKE RECORD
FOR SECOND
Lands His Men for
Their Good Work on
Election Day.

Captain Brown, of the Second Pre-
cinct police station, called all his men
into the assembly room last night and
in a short address thanked them for
the manner in which they attended to
police duty on election hight. He told
them that he had not received a single
complaint concerning the election polls,
neither had a complaint against any
policeman in his precinct been made.
He congratulated them upon their in
crease of pay, and said that as the peo-
pie had confidence enough in the police
of the city to vote for an increase. in
their salary it was now up to the po-
lice to prove themselves worthy of the
confidence and reward of the citizens
of the city.
II want to say that l think L have
got he best lot of men in my precinct
that there is in the city, and / want
every me of you to make good. Let
the people see that the profession of a
policeman is an honorable one, and
show them that you are worthy of the
trust and confidence they repose in you.
l want to make this the best precinct
in Newark, and you have to help me.
! Will do all l a for you, and / want
every man TO cooperate with me in
keeping the precinct clean. Never mind
what people tell you about not daring
to do certain things; you only do YOU
duty whenever you see 1t, and I will
stand by you al all times.
There have been a number of rob-
berries in this precinct lately. 1 do not
say that you have not been vigilant
enough, but 1 do say hat I want every
man in the precinct to keep a sharp
lookout, and if you see anyone hanging
around in a neighborhood that you
think or know has no right to be there
after night it is your duty to get busy.
Let In try and get some of these slick
ones who are operating in his section.
Let us clean up the precinct and make
it the ~cleanest in the city and win a
n putation that will make the people
see that the police of Newark can do
great things and will do so il given
an opportunity"
The men with one accord promised
to stand by the captain and left the
room determined to do their level best
to suppress vice and bring offenders to
justice hereafter as they have never
done before.

GIRL TRIES TO
END LIFE IN
JUMP
Way Was Clear,
but Lands on a Roof
and Escapes Injury.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Residents of
the big apartment houses that line
Central Park South-Fifty-ninth street,
west Of Fifth avenue-were startled
early today by the shrieks of a woman
in distress.
The Vanderbilt mansion is at the
corner of Fifty-efghth street and Fifth
avenue, and the sounds seemed IN the
darkness to come from that direction.
Police calls sounded from half a dozen
places at once, and the cry went about
that thieves were in the Vanderbilt
home and that one of the maids had
been attacked.
This was not the fact. The excite
ment was due to a young woman in
the home Of John Morgan. Who has an
apartment in the fashionable establish
ment at 80 West Fifty-ninth street.
This young woman, Miss Elsie Genu-
tbs. has been Ill for the past two weekS
She consulted a physician and she in
sists that he did not attend to her
properly. She fears as a result Of treat
ment she will be Ill always. This, it
is believed, preyed on her mind, and
she determined to end her life, and to
carry out her purpose she dressed her
self carefully in her best clothing and
jumped from a rear window of the
Mason apartment.
In the darkness she failed to see the
roof of a small building in the yard of
the apartment house and on the root
of that she landed. This roof slants,
but her clothing caught, and in an
oblique position she hung there Scream
ing.
Mr.. Mason ran into the street and
called Policeman O'Brien and Higgins,
of the East F~ifty-frst street station,
who lifted the girl down and sent her
to Flower Hospital.
Examination failed to show any in
jury beyond a few scratches on her
hand. She was detained as a prisoner.
and a charge of attempted suicide en-
tered against her on the station house
blotter.

MACHINES ERR
IN RECORDING
VOTES.
Gloucester City and Woods
town Citizens Displeased
With Results.

GLOUCESTER CITY, Nov. s.-city
Council last night directed City Clerk
Wynkoop to ask the manufacturers of the
voting machines used in Tuesdays cleo
ton, the United States Voting Machine
Company, of Rochester, N. Y, to send an
expert here to make an examination OF
WI machines, each Of which gave a short
age of 100 votes for the Democratic ticket.
The candidates to suffer from this eceen-
tricity were Thaddeus Stiffel, for Council
in the second precinct Of the First Ward,
and William j. Thompson, in the third pre-
cinct of the Second Ward.
Only the fact hat Mr.. Stiffel, like Mr..
Thompson, was a candidate also on the
Socialist and Independent tickets saved
the former from defeat. The corrected
return elects Stiffel by only Is majority,
while Thompson. with 157. would have
squeezed through by 81 without the 100
improperly withheld by the machine.
The discrepancy in the vote came before
Council when Clerk Wynkoop was reading
the bills for payment of the persons en-
gagged to watch the machines during the
voting. Mr.. Thompson, remarking the In
correctness of the count, said, in moving
the request for an expert examiner, that If
1t were shown that the machines had been
tempered with he would take criminal
action against those responsible. 1t will
require an OrueT from lne court TO permit
the opening of the voting machines for
the desired inspection.
WOODSTOWN, Nov. S.--There is a state
of unrest in political circles in Woodstown
Borough over the result of the vote on
the machines.
1t is said that the voting machine went
wrong on the Republican ticket for Gov
ernor, Member of Assembly and Surro-
gate, while for municipal candidates the
machine worked perfectly. On the head
of the ticket II is claimed, and the result
seems TO prove 1t, the register shows that
more votes were recorded than there We're
voters. On municipal affairs there does
not seem to be any discrepancy.
Since the result In the borough was made
known the machine has been closely
watched, and, although the borough clerk,
the custodian of the machine. Is very
anxious to crate 1t, AssemblyInan Ridgway,
one of the candidates. has entered a pro-
test. Secretary of State Dickinson has
been informed of the condition of affairs
and asked TO send an expert here to see
IL the machine was fixed or tempered
with in any way.
SOM voters were bitterly opposed to the
machine, and that It should go wrong on
the head of the tickle and not on munich
pal candidates In n district that is nearly
always good for at least 125 Republican
plurality and where no vigorous contest
was made by the Democrats, is a condition
that tho citizens are unable to understand

Philadelphia. July 17.-Jack Johnson. the negro, stopped Bob Fitzsimnons in the second round of six-round boxing bout. before the Washingt on Sporting Club tonight.
 Fitzsmmons did not show a trace of his former prowess. and 1t is prob able that Johnson could have stopped him in the opening round If he had cared to do so. The blow that put Fitzsimmons out was light right 10 the jaw.
 The old man fell to the floor and as he made no attempt to rise, the referee stopped the bout The hissing which usually follows knock of this character was absent. the spectators evidently taking compassion on the former pugilistic star. Referee Keelen refused to act in the ring because he had heard that Fitzsimmons had a badly sprained arm. The manager of the club then entered the ring and watched the uneven match. In the opening round Johnson tapped Fitzsim- mons when and where he chose, put the latter was unable to even land lis famous counters.
