PROSECUTOR RULED
LEGAL INTERPRETER
OF EXCISE LAWS
City Counsel Nugent Decides
Question Affecting Saloons
and Drug Stores.
THIS MEANS THAT ISSUE
RAISED STILL HANGS FIRE
Ultimate Clearing OF Clouds Will
Come When Test Is Made
! in Courts.

Opinions regarding possible violations
of the excise laws will have to be OBJ
tained from the county prosecutor and
not from the Excise Board or the city
law department, under an opinion
given today by City Counsel James f.
Nugent to the Excise Board and pre-
sented at the meeting late today
The opinion was given in response
to an inquiry from the board trans
mitting the queries of Charles w.
Menk, whether druggists are required
to pay local license fees for selling
medical preparations for the sale of
which the Federal government requires
a special tax.
AS there are several hundred drug
stores in the city, those that handle
spirituous, vinous, malt or brewed
liquors would add 100000 or more a
year to the revenues of the municipal
ity.
Mr.. Nugent made the following state
ment to the board:
I'm my opinion it is not the province
of the Excise Commissioners to make
rulings or give advice to citizens upon
questions of law The law of the State
prohibits the sale of spirituous. vinous
or malt or brewed liquors in quantities
of less than one quart, TO be drunk on
or about the premises where sold, with
out a retail license, or the sale of any
of the aforesaid liquors in any guam
tity from one quart to five gallons
without a wholesale license The only
province of the Excise Board is to
grant or refuse such licenses.
"If the preparations mentioned in the
circulars are spirituous, vinous, malt
or brewed liquor then their sale with
out license would be Illegal, but this Is
a question to be decided by the courts.
Your ruling on the opinion of this de-
partment would not protect the Of
fender if the court took contrary
view, and could be of no possible value.
1T is the special duty Of the prose-
cutor of the county to enforce viola
tions of the liquor laws. and possibly
he might be willing to give Mr.. Menk
his opinion upon the question"

SULTAN STABBED,
HIS LIFE SAVED
BY COAT OF MAIL
Turkish Monarch Attacked for
Gold by Court Official,
Who Is Captured.

LONDON, Aug. "a special dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Company
from Geneva says:
"The Sultan of Turkey was stabbed
in the breast on Monday night by
minor palace official. The coat of mail
which the Sultan always wears de-
flected the blow. The would be assas-
sin was arrested. Apparently he had
been bribed to commit the act, as he
had a large sum of gold in his pockets
and his baggage was packed ready for
flight.
"The news was received in Geneva
In a telegram from Constantinople to
young Turk"
The oft repeated attempts to kill Alb
dul Hamd, both by fanatics as well as
agents of those wishing to establish
parliamentary government for Turkey
have kept him in constant fear all his
life. He has mover visited any part of
his own domain and knows very little
even of Constantinople.
A few days ago the Sultan issued a
ukase giving a Parliament to the en-
pire, and It was thought that this
would put an end to some of the dis
satisfaction. The young Turks, II is
claimed, forced the Sultan to promise
this reform.

Early in the evening a party of half
a dozen. two men and four women. a
camping party from North Paterson,
crossed the lake in the launch Ceta To
dance on Lees pavilion. In the party
were William Bader. Leonard Robin
son, Misses Alice and Louise Black and
Miss Ethel Henderson, The identity
of the fourth woman was not learned.
All were from North Paterson and all
had been spending week in camp.
When the party left their launch to
go to the dancing pavilion they forgot
to turn off the gasoline. They re-
mained 1t the pavilion until 1920
o'clock, when they went back to the
boat. intending to recross the lake for
their camp.
In the darkness they did not notice
that the launch was soaked with gaso-
line. They clambered in. laughing and
chatting and started the engine.
Forty feet from the dock they heard
gentle puff as if small quantity of
powder had ignited. Then the engine
stopped and the boat was wreathed in
brilliant flames.
The music at the pavilion stopped
and the dancers. dazed and blinded by
the sudden flash. rubbed their eyes and
looked on. There was a shrek from
the launch followed by a masculine
voice calling for aid. Then all was
still. Those aboard We're preparing to
leap into the water.
Suddenly, unnoticed before, a small
boat darted into the radius of light
1t contained two men; one of them
shouted to the party to wait. But his
appeal apparently fell on deaf ears, for
five of the party jumped, leaving one
woman standing in the stern of the
burning vessel
She waited for the boat, which was
propelled vigorously by its two occu-
pants. Hold on a moment longer
shouted one of the men. Then she
jumped.
Half dozen motor boats and small
rowboats We're at the dock at the time.
Their owners, at first bewldered, made
tardy haste to rescue the five men and
women struggling in the water. When
the last woman jumped and capsized
the boat which contained Pfeiender,
two rowboats went to their add. They
picked up the woman and Pfeiender's
companion, but Pfeiender sank before
they could reach him.
The two men and woman struggling
In the water, according to Richard
Lauffel, Pfeienders companion, did not
see life -preservers thrown toward them
by party on board the launch Comet,
although one of them cut Pfeiender
under the chin. Lauffel was dock at
tendant at Lees pavilion.
Pfeiender was employed at the
butcher store of A. Lewis. at Lees
pavilion. After his body was recovered
Coroner George Hitching gave permis-
sion to have the body sent to New
York. where Pfeiender's parents live.

lows Fathers Footsteps.

STUTTGART, Aug. 5.-DuriBg n storm
today the Zeppelin airship broke from
its moorings, took fire and disappeared
in the air.
Several persons were injured. Count
Zeppelin, however, is safe.
1t appears that the airship exploded
during thunder storm at o'clock this
afternoon. Previous to exploding it
burst into flames 1t is supposed to
have been struck by lightning. The lat
est report from Echterdingen says it is
completely ruined.
The giant aircraft had been moored
on q plateau near the village of Ech-
terdingen. five miles south of this city,
where 1t had descended for repairs
made necessary by defective motor.
The storm blew up Unexpectedly. A
fierce gust of wind tore the balloon
from it's anchorage and drove it in
southwesterly direction for some fifty
yards. Here the rear end of the great
fabric dropped and smoke and flames
were seen to burst out from one end to
the other. Then in few seconds came
the explosion and great column of
Bystanders Knocked Down.
This was followed by the crashing
down to the earth of the motors and
frames that had been attached to the
under side of the airshlp. Several by
ISLANDERS were knocked down.
Two causes had conspired to make
it necessary to land the airship at
Echterdingen, the overheating of the
the escape of considerable gas owing to
the fact that the count took the air
ship to height of about 5000 feet
The Zeppelin airship had just COM
peted the most remarkable voyage in
the history of aerial navigation. 1t left
the Lake of Constance yesterday morn
ing for a trip to Mayence and return.
The flight was successful in great
many ways. The machine responded
absolutely to the control of its pilots
and was navigated over the Lake OF
Constance, down the valley OF the
Rhine, over Strassburg, and several
other cities. and was expected back at
its starting point this morning. 1t sur
fered an accident last evening, now
ever, and had to come to the surface OF
the Rhine for repairs. These, however,
did not take long and the airship was
soon on it's way again.
Devoted Whole Life to Afrships.
Shortly before o'clock this morn
ing. when the machine was expected
at Friedrichshafen, its point of depar-
ture, 1t came down at Eichterdingen,
five miles south of Stuttgart. because
the piston box of one the motors had
become overheated and also because

he has constructed. When his own

STRIKING GIRLS
LEADER ARRESTED
FOR 'P|CKET|NG"
Miss Ida KrafzOs Also Charged
with Attacking a
Strike-Breaker.
JUDGE SETS HER FREE;
COMPANIONS CHEER HER
Fair Cigarmakers Still Hold Out
for Reinstatement of
''Fired" Worker.

Charged with picketing on the streets
and attacking a fair strike breaker,
Miss Ida Krafzos. president of the
nited and Ladies' Protective Asso-
citation, whose AGA members ARE strik-
ing against the Lewis Cigar Companv,
was arrested near the cigar factory
this morning. After hearing the
charges Judge Charles F. Herr, in the
Fourth Precinct Police Court dismissed
the complaint and gave the girl her
freedom, declaring that she had
right to be on the street.
1t was charged by private detectives
employed by the Lewises that Miss
Krafzos and several other strikers were
doing picket duty near the factory ard
that Miss Krafzos accosted one of the
employees who refused to go on strike
and requested her to join their ranks.
When she refused, it was charged,
Miss Krafzos seized the worker and a
hand to-hand battle ensued, in which
striker and employee roughly handled
each other.
The detectives stepped into the fray
at this time and placed Miss Krafzos
under arrest. The other girls clothing
was badly torn. A large crowd fol-
lowed their leader to the Fourth Pre-
cinct police station and filled the court
room when she was arraigned.
Call Judge n "Dear."
When the court refused to entertain
n complaint against the strike leader
the girls experienced difficulty In re-
straining their JOY until they got out
side the police station. They de-
clared that Judge Herr was perfect
dear" and applied numerous similar
epithets to him.
At the meeting which was held at 9
Prince street this morning. after the
release OF Miss Krafzos, much en-
thusiasm was manifested, and tho
members of the company were ridi-
culed in speeches for seeking the aid
of the police against defenseless girls
who are standing on what they believe
TO be their rights. Miss Krafzos was
made a heroine. She addressed the
striking girls, as did Miss Sadie Silver
man, vlce-president Of the organiza-
tion. whose discharge caused the strike.
The girls resent the apparent over
zealousness Of the police in stationing
six big bluecoats in front of their head
quarters.
At the roll-call this morning 1t was
discovered that three more girls have
Joined the ranks of the strikers, who
now number ACT. This the company
denies. asserting that many of the
strikers have returned to work.
Strike Fund of $4,000.
Since their organization some years
ago the girls have been laying away
a strike fund.- which now amounts to
about $1,000. and they declare that
they will use this to prolong the strike
if their demand that Miss Silverman
be reinstated is not granted Most of
the girls are members of families need
ing the weekly wage earned by them,
and the fund will not go far. but they
assert that it will last long enough to
compel the company to give in.

 Literary Press.

Of Wilhelminas taste in dinner giv. Ing and the quality of her hospitality there could be no question. The first was above reproach; the second, like that of mercy, was not strained.
 Of Wilhelmina's ability as an artist, however, there was very grave ques. ton indeed. Those who had no desire to defer to her dinners were very apt Co pronounce her pictures daubs. which will explain why Dobson drew Rem ington aside and reviewed the situa ton. Dobson was taking Donald Rem lngtou, who had just returned from a year in Englaud. to enjoy one of Will helminais sunday night dinners.
 "You see. she hasn't had a fair chance yet, but she's awfully ambi- tious, and we all have hopes."
 Remington nodded understandingly. He knew the type of artist, though the rosy colors in which Dobson had painted the dinner prospective had rather confused him.
 ''They lived on farm-her folks had all kinds of money. blooded stock and ali that-and they sent her to boarding
