DAMAGED BY FLOOD
At Least Half a Dozen Persons
Lost Their Lives.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 29.-Dan B.
Wenger and two children are reported
drowned near Folsom, N. NJ, as the
result of a heavy food. The news
reached here in a message to j. d.

drowned there. Folsom is 100 miles

Southern railroad. The town is re
ported to have been badly damaged

SEASON NEARING AN END
Resorts at Atlantic City Will Close
Without Use of Force.

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug 29.-The
extraordinary situation that has de-
VelOped as a result of Governor Forts
proclamation, in which he threatens
to use the power of the state militia
to enforce the Sunday liquor laws
here, and the action of the Atlantic
county grand jury in deliberately ig.
nOring the instructions of the court by
refusing to return Indictments against
persons accused of violating the ex-
else laws, continues to be almost the
sole topic of conversation. That Gov
ernor Fort will be compelled to utilize
his authority in calling out the state
troops is hardly probable, since the
summer season is nearing an end and
1t is more than likely that at least the
larger and more prominent places will
refuse to sell liquor on the coming
Sabbath rather than face a chance OF
losing a license. The situation is a
serious one from the standpoint oI
the business men of the resort. 1t has
been the free and happy environment
of the city which has made 1t the
mecca for Sunday excursionists anC
those who like to see things "go" and
like to be in the go"
That there is much politics in the
whole situation is apparent to every
body familiar with conditions in th'
state and particularly in Atlantic
county and developments will b.
watched with intense interest.

FORT DECLARES HE
IS NOT BLUFF|NG
VIII Use Troops to Enforce
Law at Atlantic City.

seagirt, N. j., Aug. Ex-Governor
Fort has made the following state
ment concerning his proclamation and
the defiance of Atlantic City that he
dare not call out the militia to en-
force the Bishop law:
Il will stand on my proclamation
unequivocalIy. | mean every word.
The people will learn that | am not
attempting to intimidate them by
threats"
Through a member of Governor
Forts summer cabinet" 1t was
learned that before issuing his procla'
nation he sounded the attitude OF
various leaders in the legislature and
was given assurances that if he called
a special session they would stand by
him and provide whatever assistance
he required to enforce the laws at
Atlantic City. He was assured that
DESPITE the revolt Of Atlantic City the
legislature would authorize him to en-
force the law there even TO the neces-
sity of patrOlling the resort with
troops and placing it under martial
law. Thereupon the proclamation was
issued, with the threat to call spe
cial session.
1t is fully believed here that on
next Sunday Atlantic City will con
tinue it's defiance of the governor and
will be wide open" as in the past
Advices have reached the governor
already that such would be the case
and there can be no doubt that the
cali for the special session of the leg
islature will follow. If issued the cal
will probably appear on Tuesday.
