Pettibone Meyer Adams and their friends and

From that point of view, Mr.. Taft addressed the
public in behalf of the success of the republican par

the policy of the administration to establish dyna

The republican party of Utah, which is the party
of the Mormon church, held its convention last Tues

Vice-C Chancellor Howell In order to
delve into the financial troubles of the

day appointed Matthias Plum, jr., of this
city, a SPECIAL commissioner to investi-
gate the affairs of the company in each

The announcement was made when

Has Good Line on Those
to Be Named.

The tentative slate of the regular Re-
publican organization for State sena-
tor. sheriff. mayor and Congress, to be
voted for at the primary election on
September %, printed yesterday in
THE EVENING STAR, caused great
deal of talk in political circles. Several
leaders for the regular organization
said today that the men named by
THE STAR are the ones most talked
of for the nominations, but that there
were others in the field.
Chairman Dalrymple. of the Repub-
lican County Committee, said no con-
ference of leaders will be held until
next week, and the candidates of the
organization for city and county offices
at the primary would probably be
chosen then, after a full discussion of
the availability of all the men who
are mentioned.
Board of Works Commissioner Frank
j. Book said to an EVENING STAR
man that he had not formally an
nounced that he is candidate for the
nomination for mayor, because so many
of his friends are urging him to stand
for reelection to the Board of Works TO
help finish the great work of reclaiming
the Newark meadows and building
docks and ship canal Some friends
of Commissioner Arthur r. Denman
hope he will go back to the Board of
Works, also, instead of taking the NOM
nation for sheriff. but other friends
and influential leaders of the party say
he is just the man to run for sheriff.
Ira Budd, of the Sixth Ward, is talked
of for the Board of Works, in case Mr..
Denman does not stand for reelection.
Louis Pfeifer has adopted a novel
method to inform the Republican voters
of the Tenth Ward that he is a candi-
date for the nomination for chosen
freeholder. He is circulating cards on
which is printed the date of the primary
election, the fact that the polls will be
open from l to o'clock D. M. and he
gives the places where the voters In
each of the nine districts of the ward
will cast their ballots. Under his name
is this. You will find my name on the

Forty-fve thousand dollars of the
funds of the insolvent National Brew
ing Company, $50 Springfield avenue,
are unaccounted for. according to a
cross bill filed in Chanceryfby Edward
Moorse, jr., of Trenton, receiver of the
company. Charles P Senger of Plain
field, president of the company, Is
wanted here to explain where the money
went. He has not been located 1t is
charged the accounts contain fictitious
entries.
The whereabouts of Miss e. /. Thomp-
son, the mysterious young woman on a
salary of week, who received $1,000
of the firms money, according to en-
tries on the books. Is causing the re-
ceiver no end of trouble. 1t is believed
that Miss Thompson can explain much
of the alleged irregularity in conducting
the business, but she has disappeared.
Treasurer "Heard' of Her.
What the s2.7o0 given to the young
woman was intended for, to what use 1t
was put, why it was given and whether
IL was for her personally or to be used
for the company are questions which
the receiver would like very much to
have Mss Thompson answer.
The records show that Miss Thomp-
son was in the employ of the brewery
as recently as the latter part of 1905.
shortly before the concern got into
pany was interviewed at his home in
shallow water.

Plainteld today by an EVENING
STAR reporter. He had heard of Miss
Thompson, he declared, but did not
know anything of her whereabouts or
her duties in the office.
II am very anxious to find out who
this young woman Is and learn some
thing about that $2,7C0. 81 have two
mortgages against the National Brew
ing Company. one for $4,000 and one for
$3.50, which 1 got from the Security
Savings Bank of Newark and which I
believe to be good"
Mortgages Called Illegal.
In the answer of the receiver it is
charged that the mortgages referred
to by Mr.. Dreier are illegal, that they
were given without the authority of
the board of directors and that they
were given without sufficient compen-
sation.
The answer declares that the sma,Er
mortgage was authorized at an aWged
meeting of the directors, when but
Dreier and his son-in-law, Senger, the
president of the company, were present.
The $45, 900 alleged to be unaccounted
for according to the document, rep
resents the funds of the company spent,
for which there are no vouchers, and
ircludes the $1,000 marked down
against Miss Thompson's name.
