Prayers for Dying.
FATHER REACHES SCENE
AS HIS SON EXPIRES
Arthur Williamson, 9 Years Old,
of kearny, Was Romping on
LaCkawanna Embankment.

While playing on the high embank-
ment of the Lackawanua railroad cas-,
Of Harrison with three companions
Arthur Williamson, the 9-year-old son OF
Andrew Williamson, of HaIsted street
Kearny, was struck by the Summit
local. going at high speed, and hurled
twenty feet to the field below.
An Italian woman who heard the
screams Of the lads companions ran out
and picked up the dying boy. He was
unconscious and blood was dripping
from an ugly wound in his head. The
woman kneeled over him and in her
native tongue offered up Roman
Catholic prayers for the dying.
In seven minutes the boy died. His
father, who had been sent for at his
work, block away. reached the boys
side just as the little fellow expired.
The elder Williamson was prostrated
with grief, and a touching scene fol-
lowed.
The body was taken into the Harri-
son station of the Lackawanna, and an
undertaken was notified. The train
continued on it's way. and the four boys
who escaped the fate of their playma te

LOVED ONE DEAD,
MOTHER AND SON
COMMIT SUICIDE
Using Chl0rOfOrm, Smother
Themselves to Last Gasp
in Brooklyn Home.
FOUND WITH CORPSE LAID
OUT IN WHITE SHROUD
Had Written Letter Saying Life
Was Unendnrable Without
Daughter and Sister.

NEW YORK, Sept 2e.--The bodies
of Ella and Edwin Foden and OF thaii
mother, Mary Foden, were found ID
their apar artment at 25S Greene avenue
Brooklyn, today, the mother and son
evidently having committed suicide to-
gether in their grief over the death
from apparently natural causes of Miss
Ella Foden.
The body of the latter was found,
dressed in white, and apparently laid
out for burial but 1t lay in pool of
blood, while the bodies of her brother
bed. with the bed clothes pulled over
their heads. A strong odor of chloro-
form pervaded the room.
A search disclosed revolver, lead
ing to the belief that the young woman
might have been shot, but it was fully
loaded. and an examination then seemed
to show that she had bled profusely
through the mouth, apparently from a
hemorrhage.
BY the bed upon which lay the bodies
of mother and son there were three
bottles which evidently had contained
a mixture of chloroform and whiskey
Copious draughts having failed to kill
them, they had completely saturated the
bed covering with the drug and then
smothered themselves under it.
A letter written by Edwin left no
doubt as to a double suicide plot be-
tween mother and SON. 1t was addressed
to nobody, bore no date, and was as
follows:
MY sister. Ella, the best and sweet
est and most unsel1sh, affectionate and
loveble of sisters. is dead. This world
without her seems uncomfortable. l viii
follow her and so will my mother. She
would be too exhausted to live alone.
My mothers brothers, Christopher.
John and Philip Wentzel, of Parma,
Cuyahoga county, Ohio. will bury u.s.
Please notify them
"I wish them to have all my effects,
such as they are, which l leave, If
they will bury us. II not, ] wish them
to go to whoever does bury us. There
is $31S4 in the pocket of the clothes
am wearing to go towards the funeral
expenses"
Each paragraph of the letter, which
was written In an unsteady hand, was
signed by Foden. Their neighbors say
they had not seen any of the family
around for several days. Foden was
said to have been a newspaper artist.

REGULARS PLAN
REIMBURSEMENT"
OF REPUBLICANS
Leaders, However, Urge That at
Present All Unite to Win
Election.
PUSH THE BAND WAGON
ALONG, SAYS MURPHY
Notes OF Harmony Sounded at
Meeting of County
Committee.

Notes of harmony were struck last
night at the meeting of the Republican
County Committee but at the same
time there was talk of a "readjust-
ment' later on. This was indefinite
The first duty laid down before the
members was the need of the entire
party getting together, so as to win at
the election in November. The read
justment' is to come later.
The principal speakers of the night
were County Chairman Alfred N. Dal-
rymple and State Chairman Franklin
Murphy.
The fact that the former Governor
publican Committee and also of Will
lam III. Taft's campaign advisory COM
mittee. was present gave an Importance
to the meeting that it would not have
had otherwise.
Mr. Murphy said that while separate
sections of the party might have diff
fered before the primaries, everybody
should put his shoulder to the wheel
and push the Republican band wagon
along.
One thing prominently commented on
was the absence of Republican League
candidates. None of the big ones were
present.
Mr.. Dalrymple, after referring to the
heavy registration at the primaries and
the need of getting all other Repub-
licans on the list, said that although
the party had gone through a spirited
contest. 1t expected every member to
get to work. He continued:
"As chairman of this committee |
shall exert every means at my com
mand and all the energy and ability
that | possess toward that end. and /
shall look to every member of the
county committee to give me their
loyal assistance and hearty support
1t is not only for the good OF the Re-
publican party, but in the interest OF
good government for our State, county
and city that the Republican nominees
for every Office shall be elected in this
coming election"
On the motion Of Surrogate George r.
Russell resolution indorsing all the
candidates chosen at the primary was
adopted unanimously.
Congressman r. Wayne Parker de-
livered a speech which referred to the
importance of the national campaign.
Frank j. Eock, candidate for mayor.
also spoke. Arthur r. Denman of the
Board of Works, sand that the first
duty before all Republicans was to see
that they won "the battle at the polls
next November, and then the time for
readjustment would come" Ira Budd,
the other candidate for Board of Works,
thanked his supporters.
