KILLED BY FALL
DOWN AN AREAWAy
NEAR HIS HOME
James J. Mccarthy Found Dead
in South Tenth Street
Early Today.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE
BEEN AN ACCIDENT
His Money Was Intact When
Body Was Discovered by
a Woman.

James j. Mccarthy, 40 years old, OF
Ill Eleventh avenue. employed by AID
erman Seth b. Smith in the fire
sprinkler business in New York, was
found dead today in the cellar areaway
of 10SA South Tenth street, a short
distance from his home, by Mrs.
Garris, a tenant.
Investigation by the police failed to
Justify suspicion of foul play.
When County Physician Elliott
viewed the body he said that in his
opinion Mr.. Mccarthy had fallen into
the areaway, which is about five feet
back from the curb and about three
and a half feet deep, in the darkness.
The dead man weighed about 225
pounds, and his weight. the county
physician said, was sufficient to cause
fatal injury. His money, 5000, was
found in his pocket.
Mccarthy is survived by a widow and
two children, Anna and Frank, aged 10
and s years respectively.
The body showed almost conclusive
ly that Mccarthy had fallen, DR.. Elliott
said. The head was on the concrete
floor and the feet were on the stone
steps The cause of death was frac-
tured skull.
Mccarthy, who was a pipe filter, left
home last night shortly before 10
o'clock. He was last seen alive in a
cafe at 519 Twelfth avenue.
About 1890 Mrs. Garrls, who lives
with her daughter, Mrs. Anna Harts-
horne at the Tenth street address,
thought she heard noise outside. She
opened the front door and peered out
into the darkness, but could see noth-
ing.

Ralph B. Schmidt's Manager Re-
iterates Statement Concern
ing Newark Force.
SAYS DEPARTMENT NEVER
HAD BETTER FRIEND
In krueger's Auditorium Re-
peats Language OF His
Nutley Speech.

Before a large audience, in the Krue-
ger Auditorium last night, Reginald
Jackson, of Jersey City, campaign man
ager for Ralph B. Schmidt in the lat
ters fight for the Republican nomina-
ton for sheriff, reiterated the statement
he made in Nutley recently which was
circulated as an attack on the honesty
of IT, Newark police.
Mr.. jackson was accused OF saying
that the police accepted bribes for per-
mitting certain saloons to remain open
on Sunday. His repetition of his Nut
ley speech last night, however, was on
an entirely different line.
After saying the newspapers were
wrong, Mr.. Jackson continued by ad-
vocating the candidacy of Ralph b.
Schmidt for sheriff, and said he did
so for two reasons: One, because he
had some of his money invested in
Essex County, and second, because Mr..
Schmidt was an "old, old friend of
mine. and 1 would have come from
San Francisco to do this job IL he had
asked me-"
Repeats His Statement.
Ralph Schmidt has said to you-and
this is what l said In Nutley-is this:
4 do not believe in the sheriff of Es-
sex county interfering with the police
of Newark. L believe the police should
have a chance to make good. / believe
that the police are paid to do the job
and do not believe in two men being
paid TO do one mans job.
"And / ask you men, as conservative
men, as men of affairs In Essex county,
whether that is a conservative or a
radical statement; whether that is not
good plain, American horse sense.
"Now, the next thing that Ralph 3
Schmidt says is: I believe that all laws
are enforcible and should be enforced,
but l do not believe in the enforcement
of one statute while other statutes are
ignored Is that fair? IL man has
right to use his discretion at all in tnat
office, should he pick out statute, for
political or other purposes, and enforce
1t, where it affects the interests of the
masses?
IF there are ten laws on your statute
books, it is right that ten of them should
be enforced. 1t is not right that four
Of them should be enforced and six
should be ignored
''He says again: 4 am opposed to the
Bishops bill, because L do not believe
it can be properly enforced
'If it is wrong to sell it on one day II
is equally wrong to sell it ON another
day, and you can't get away from that.
And that is what Ralph B. Schmidt
says when he says he don't believe the
Bishops bill can be properly enforced,
and that is all ever said in Nutley,
N. j., or in any other place in Essex
county"
