Hot Struggle Between Regulars
and New Idea Seen in Assistant
Prosecutors Statement.
M'LL GIVE HIM TASTE
OF CAMPAIGNING"
Essex Senator, Declaring He
Will Hustle to Win, Pays
Compliment to Opponent.

The announcement by Thomas L.
Raymond, First Assistant Prosecutor
of the Pleas of Essex County, that he
will be a candidate at the primary
election in September against State
Senator Colby, who wants a second
term, indicates that the Regulars will
make hot fight against the New Idea
Mr.. Raymond may resign his place in
the prosecutors office if he is nomi-
mated for State Senator.
Senator Colby realizes that Judge
Raymond is in earnest, and said today:
II propose to win out If hard work will
do it, and will give the judge a taste of
hot weather campaigning. The Sem
ator said that every citizen had an
equal right to run for office under the
new primary law.
II am willing to abide by the result,
he added. Judge Raymond is a man
of ability and integrity, and | will feel
gratified and will be well satisfied if
our fight results in forcing the machine
to place men of his calibre upon the
ticket"
Prosecutor Mott declared today that
he had not spoken to Judge Raymond
about his possible resignation. He re-
fused to declare himself as to whether
Raymond or Colby was his choice.
"If l was opposed to my gobd friend
Tom Raymond you don't SUPPOSE I'd
be fool enough TO say so?" he observed
interrogatively.
The direct primary law will he effec-
tive for the first time this year, and
candidates will be nominated by the
largest number of votes byl Republi-
cans at the primaries. The Regulars
stlll hope that Henry Dickson will run
for sheriff The Colbylte men are for
Assemblymen Henry Stacy Smith, who
is supported by sheriff Somnier.
Speculation as to the makeup of the
New Idea ticket is made. 1t may be
as follows;
For Senator-Everett Colby.
For Congress-Assembly William
p. Martin.
For Sheriff-Former Assemblyman
Austen Colgate.
For Mayor-sheriff Frank H. Som

NEWSBOY HIT BY

FROM INJURIES
Chauffeur Who Ran Down Hus=

WAS DELIVERING HIS
PAPERS WHEN STRUCK
Drs. DOnnelly and Ferris Took
Lad to His Home in
Machine.

Milton Ritter IL years old and a
hustling little newspaper carrier, is in

He was crossing the entrance to the
garagf when Walter E. Garrabrant.
a chauffeur, of 103 Eleventh avenue,
turned his big machine suddenly and
swiftly into the garage.
The lad tried to get out of the way,
but the car was travelling too rapidly,
and he was knocked down and run
over.
DR.. Robert H. Donnelly, with DR.
Ferris, was passing In his own ma
chine and they witnessed the accident.
They stopped and went back to the un-
conscious boy and after ministering to
him and falling to revive him to con-
sciousness, they carried him to his home
at 295 South Eleventh street in Dr.
Donneny's car. Milton's mother was
absent at the time, being treated by q
doctor herself, and when she returned
she found the two strange doctors
working over her son.
After an hours work the doctors de-
termined that Milton had sustained a
severe concussion of the brain, pos
sible fracture of the skull, internal in
iuries and the fracture of two ribs.
He was transferred to the City Hos

A CCIDENTS in coal mines of the
"A United States during the last cal
endar year resulted in the death of
3,125 men and injury to 5,3l4 more,
according to statistics made public
by the geological survey
The death record among the coal
miners during the year was greater
by 1.O33 than in 1906, and is said to
have been the worst year in the his
tory of the coal-mining industry.
The figures do not represent the
full extent of the disasters, as reports
were not received from some states
having no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported the heaviest
death rate in 19O7-l2.35 per 1000 en-
Moves. and this state also showed the
lowest production for each life lost
$500 tons. New Mexico stood next
on the list with a death rate OF ll.45
and production of 1892 tons for
each life lost. Alabama was third
with a death rate of ~ per 1000 and
a production of 92535 tons for each
life lost. Missouri had the lowest
death rate. heading the roll of honor
with .95 and 1912 tons OF coal
mined for each life lost.
Statistics do not bear out the popu-
lar idea that most mine disasters re-
suit from explosions. OF the total
number reported during the last year
