WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Mrs. Alice
Longworth is at home today recovering
from shock as the result of nearly be-
ing crushed to death under the hoofs
of horses yesterday. That she was not
injured was due to the prompt action
of Police Sergeant John Cats.
Mrs. Longworth was hurrying to at
tend the afternoon concert of the Phila-

she was the guest of Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend. She drove her electric run
about to the curb across the street
from the theatre, and, bringing 1T to a
stop, alighted and hurried through the
crush of vehicles.
Just as she reached the middle of
the street a brougham, drawn by a pair
of mettlesome horses, swept down on
her. Seeing her peril, Sergeant Cats
sprang from the curb, and, Selling the
horses by their bits. threw them al
most on their launches. He escaped
injury. Mrs. Longworth looked fright
ened as she hurried into the theatre.

GOVERNOR FORT
Tells HIS IDEA Of
A VOTING MACHINE
Would Eliminate Party Lever
for Push Button or Small Lever
for Each Nominee.

THENTON. Dec. Ex-Governor Fort,
who is opposed to tho voting machines
now in use in New Jersey. has designed
what he thinks would be a satisfactory
machine. He said that the machines
now in use should be cast on the dump
heap, as a voter was not able to tell,
after he had used the machine, il his
vote had been properly counted for the
candidates for whom he thought he was
voting.
The Governor, in discussing the mat
ter with newspaper men, drew a rough
sketch of the machines. which he be-
lieved would be satisfactory. He would
do away with the party lever and COM
pei each voter to push a button or pull
a small lever for every candidate he
favors. He would have the names of
candidates M perpendicularly along
one side of the machine, candidates for
different offices under proper headings.
Then. to cover the point of a voter be-
Ing able to prove that he has voted the
names he wishes, he would have a Sc
ries of shutters or blinds run parallel
with the anne of the candidates, the

NEW IDEA MEN
BADLY BEATEN
BY DALRYMPLE
Chairman, Reelected, Throws
Hot Shot Into Camp
of Colbyites.

From now on it will be a fight to the
death between the Colby wing and the
regular organization of the Republican
party of the State, the reconciliation
effected in the recent campaign having
been broke asunder at the meeting of
the Essex County Committee last night.
A. N. Dalrymple, backed by State
Chairman Murphy, was reelected
county chairman by 149 votes to so
soon as the vote was announced Mr..
Dalrymple in a bitter speech severely
arraigned Senator Colby, William Fell
loves Morgan and other New Idea
leaders who were present.
The New Idea party will now start
work to capture every county comnit
tee in the State, and the temper of
Colby and other leaders was such to-
day that it was believed that, falling to
capture a county committee, it would
lead the Colbyites to go it independently
in such counties.
Dalrymple accused Colby and Morgan
of failing to contribute the amounts
they should have given to the last CAM
paign fund, and thereby causing their
defeat.
Notably among the men who voted
for the reelection of Mr.. Dalrymple
were County Register Edward S.
Perry, Colbyite leader in Orange, and
Henry Hahn, Colbyite leader in the
Third Ward of this city. Both were
subjected to mixtures of tongue lash
ings and congratulations after the meet
ing. The Colby men set UP such a fire
of noes when it was moved to make
the chairmar's election unanimous that
no effort was made by Temporary
Chairman William B. ~Garrabrants, OF
the Second Ward, to put such a mo
ton.
On the vote Dalrymple had every
thing solidly up to the Eighth Ward
That erstwhile Colby stronghold gave
Simpson a single vote. John S. Gibson
and some others were absent. The
Ninth Ward furnished four Simpson
votes and the Eleventh six, so that he
had eleven votes in Newark. The
county outside gave him twenty-one
making thirty-two in all. William Bal
ley claimed thirty eight on his tally fol-
the losing candidate. There wasn't 6

button is pushed or lever pulled in the
voting process, thus disclosing the name
of the favored candidate and assuring
the citizen of having balloted according
to his desire before leaving the booth.
1t was suggested to the Governor that
a machine such as he described would
re quire SO much time to vote on that it
would be impossible for all the voters in
a district to cast their ballots within
the hours that the polls are open. He
replied that this object could be met by
reducing the size of the election dis
trict units, which. are now composed of
six hundred voters. He favors districts
with four hundred voters for a unit.

Governor, every voter would be given
a chance to vote. In addition to that

count and the actual results in the
