NEW IDEA HEADS
AND CHIEF MURPHY
. FLOCK|NG TO TAFT
Rival Republican Leaders in Hot
Springs, Va, on Patron
age Hunt.
EACH WOULD SHAKE THE
FEDERAL PLUM TREE FIRST
Colby Goes Tomorrow to Reit-
crate Morgan's "Defeat-by-
Treachery" Plea.

Efforts are being made by the reg
ul-.- Republican organization and the
New Idea wing to control the Federal
patronage of the Taft administration
in New Jersey.
State Chairman Franklin Murphy Is
now at Hot Springs, Va, and 1t is pre-
sumed by the Regulars that he has
already informed Mr. Taft of the de-
tails of the battle in New Jersey and
of the defeat of Everett Colby and
William Fellowes Morgan, the New
Idea candidates.
Mr. Morgan. who was defeated for
sheriff by William Harrigan, preceded
Mr.. Murphy to Hot Springs. He has
known Mr.. Taft personally for long
time and ( was understood in the Reg
ulats camp that Mr.. Morgan and the
New Idea men would ask that the new
Federal administration administer It's
New Jersey patronage through the
New Idea leaders.
Senator Colby will go to Hot Springs
tomorrow to see the President-elect
and back up the stand taken by Mr.
Morgan. Mr.. Colby and Mr.. Morgan
base their claim for the Federal pat
ronage on their charge that they were
the victims of treachery at the polls
in Essex county on the part of the
regular organization. They claim that
they represent majority of the Re-
publican voters.
But former Governor Murphy Is not
only State chairman and a member OF
the national committee, but he is q
member of the national executive
committee, which was the most potent
factor In the national campaign, and
as such he had at all times the ear OF
the nominee Mr.. Taft Is known as q
strong organization man. and it was
believed that he would listen to the
demands of the State chairman.
But the New Idea men have hopes
of obtaining the Federal patronage,
thus so weakening the regular organi-
zation that it would become a weak
ling and secondary to the New Idea
, ties.
Mr. Murphy expects to get back home

York in time to deliver an address Sat-
urday evening to the Prison Martyrs

News comes from Hot Springs that
National Chairman Hitchcock, Winston
Churchill and Republicans of all stripes
are pouring in, evidently with the idea
that they will have an opportunity to
make the brief holiday of Mr.. Taft en-
joyable by talkirg shop"
Just how much Mr. Taft will interest
himself in New Jersey affairs is prob
lem that only Mr.. Taft can solve
Rumor has it that he will name Jer-
seyman for some high office. Former
United States Senator John F. Dryden,
as told in this newspaper before cleo

Cabinet.

CHILD bitten BY
| PEf DOG IN HOTEL
DEAD OF RABIES
Seven-Year-Old Henrietta Leon
Had Leg Torn by Atlantic
City Poodle.
LITTLE BEAST ATTACKED
HER THREE MONTHS Ago
FondIing II with COMPANIONS
Brute May Have Put Teeth
in Others.

NEW YORK, Nov 9.-Bitten three
months ago by a poodle in Atlantic
City, N. j., and after twelve hours of
TERRIBLE sufferings, Henrietta Leon.
years old. of 12s West 14Sd street, died
today in Bellevue Hospital from
rabies.
The child was bitten by the dog
which she had been caressing on the
porch of a hotel at the New Jersey
resort. No symptoms of the disease
developed until three days ago, but by
the time the child was taken by her
parents to the Pasteur Institute the
physician said that the girl had hydro
phobia in it's most advanced form and
that there was no chance of recovery.
With several other children the Leon
child was playing on the porch of a
fashionable Atlantic City hotel, when
the poodle belonging to one of the
women living in the place came out
of the house. The children had played
with the dog many times before, and
the little girl at once went to pick 1t
up. ,.~
Instead of accepting the caresses the
dog turned on the child and sank its
teeth deep into the calf of her leg. She
screamed and her mother beat the dog
off with a parasol.
The screams of the child caused much
excitement on the porch and, as the
women and children rushed toward the
Leon child, the poodle scurried about
swapping and snarling. Whether or
not any of the other children were Bit
ten by the dog is not known. 1t tore
their clothing, however, and efforts will
be made today by physicians to learn
the names of all who were present
when the dog bit the Leon girl, and
they will be warned to have an exami-
nation made at once if they were even
scratched by the animals fangs.
No physician could be found when
the Leon child was bitten, so Mrs. Leon
ran with her daughter in her arms to
a nearby drug store and the wound was
cauterized there. In week the wounds
made by the teeth of the animal had
healed, leaving a slight scar.

NEW HEADGEAR
Caps Replace Helmets and Meet
the General Approval of Sar- 4
torial Connoisseurs. \

Have you seen the new Newark no
1iceman?
Here he is. xall spic and span. in This
new cap, the finest of the finest.
All of Newarks bluecoats are now
wearing the same kind of cap as
New York patrolmen. While the
change from the helmet is radical. yet
the men all say they prefer the caps
to the old headgear.
The change went into effect yester-
day, and while some people could not
resist the temptation to have a little
fun with the men, yet most people ap-
prove of the new style, as they say
the caps give the men a more business
like appearance.
In stormy weather rubber capes can
be fastened to the back of the caps to
protect the neck and shoulders of the
men from snow or rain.

Mr.. Morgan fell to the sidewalk and
while his young daughter looked on,
terror r-stricken, Mackey stretched him
self out on the sidewalk beside his vic
tim, opened his coat and vest and then
fired two shots at his own head. They
failed to puncture his skull and the
man put the muzzle of the revolver to
his chest and sent bullet into his
heart.
Motive Is Unknown.
Several men ran up and Mr.. Morgan
was carried back to his home, guided
by his daughter. From letters in his
pocket Mackey was quickly identified,
but his motive was a secret unless he
had become insane over a fancied
grievance against the postoffice.
In his desk We're found letters from
the postoffice department in reply to
his complaints that his mail had been
tampered with and that while he was
reading a letter in the postoffice the
light was turned out on him. The
official reply was that the turning out
of the light was an accident and that
no evidence could be found that his
letters had been opened.
Mackey was an Englishman, 81 years
old. and came to this country seven
years ago. AFTER working in Boston
for three years he came to the New
York law firm, where he was highly
esteemed. His employers could not ac-
count for the tragedy except In the
belief that Mackey had become insane
over his fancied wrong.
At first 1t was believed that Post
master Morgan had been fatally
wounded; that the one bullet had
passed through the stomach. But after
a more careful examination by several
surgeons. among them DR.. Titus Bull,
1t was found that the bullet had en-
tered the abdominal cavity at the left
side, had skirted the stomach and had
come out the right side. The doctors
agreed that the wound was not neces-
sarily fatal.

Leaders Of Cummins Faction Exonerates Stand
Pattas in Letter to Dave Brandt.

On Wednesday. June II, con-
ference of the governors friends was
held. news came which confirmed the
rumors that we're in circulation that
Cummins hadbeen selected by Taft as
vice presidential candidacy.
con Wednesday night endeavored
to have the delegation meet in caucus
on Thursday morning to discuss the
vice presidency; some objections
were raised against the caucusing of
the Iowa delegation. However. on
Thursday morning. June II, we sue
ceeded in gathering together in con-
ference about seventeen or eighteen
members of the delegation. / think
that the object or purpose of the con-
ference was stated by myself. and it
was at that time distinctly understood
and agreed by all present that the
action of the delegates so assembled
in that conference was not to be con-
sidered the final or binding act of the
delegation as an entirety. but that
any action so taken at that time
would only be binding upon those who
participated in the caucus or confer
ence. distinctly recall! that at this
first conference Mr.. Young arose and
said he would support Governor Cum
minis for the vice presidency. MIR.
Young also said that it was the duty
of every man on the delegation to
support Cummins if his name were
presented to the convention. Mr..
Perkins, who was the chairman of the
conference. upon the conclusion of
Mr.. Young's remarks. addressed the
conference and he urged the united
support of the delegation of Cum
Minis. in the event that his name
was presented to the convention. At
that time two or three members of
the delegation expressed themselves
as being opposed to Cummins. Mr..
Young then made q motion that Gov.
ernor Cummins' name be presented
to the convention. This motion was
reduced to writing and has heretofore
been published in the Iowa news
papers.
"Upon the conclusion of the con-
ference it was suggested by Mr.. Per-
kins that the entire delegation meet
that night at O'Clock, and pursuant
to the suggestion of Mr.. Perkins the
entire delegation met again Thursday
night. and Mr.. Young renewed the
motion that he made that morning
that Cummins' name be presented to
the convention as the choice of the
Iowa delegation for the vice presi-
dency.
Mr.. Perkins again spoke in support
of this motion.
You will recall that one or two
members of the delegation were OPP
posed to it, and spoke against it's
adoption. Mr.. Lane then addressed
