Taking the lead of the general move
ment in Orange, where there is a large
population of Italian-born citizens,
Mayor Isaac Shoenthal today issued a
proclamation calling upon. the citizens
of the city to aid in the collection of
funds for the suffering survivors of the
terrible catastrophe. In his statement
the Mayor call attention to the urgent
need of funds for the survivors, and he
also advises that "he gives twice who
gives immediately" and praises the
initiative taken by THE NEWARK
STAR in arranging for the collection of
funds. The Mayors statement in part
follows:
Zone of the most terrible cataclysms
= of history has destroyed communities
lin Italy and while official reports are
not forthcoming the information OBJ
tainable discloseS an awful loss of life.
There are many fellow countrymen of

eliminate collections of moneys may be

Several organizations of italian
Americans in Orange have begun the
preliminaries for the raising of funds.
The Roma Circle will meet on Sunday
4. and discuss with other societies the
best method of arranging for funds.

CATHOLICS MAY EAT
MEAT NEW YEARS DAY,
DISPENSATION FROM POPE.

Through a special ~dispensation
granted by Pope Plus X, Catho--
lies are permitted to eat meat
tomorrow, New Years Day. This
announcement is made by the Rt.
Rev. Bishop John j. O'Connor,
bishop of the diocese of Newark,
and came as a surprise to many,
who believed that because no
such announcement was made
last Sunday, no such dispense
ton would be given, The priests
of the diocese will be notified to-
day, and the announcement will
be made from all Catholic pulpits
tomorrow.
Bishop O'Connor did not re-
ceive the dispensation direct from
the Pope, but took his authority
from the action of the Most Rev.
John M. Farley, archbishop of
New York, who had made the
announcement to his rectors
after receiving word from the
Pope.

ELECTION IN
ROSWELL.

The election in Roswell was quiet,
but businesslike. The voting com
menced early and continued steadily
through the whole day. There was
never time when the judges weren't t
busy. Almost all the time there was a
line Of voters waiting in Precinct
No. 1 and at No. the same condition
prevailed more than half the time.
The saloons were closed, under legal
regulation (actually closed front and
back and this prevented drunken
ness, fights and other disturbances,
back in the states.
The vote in Roswell will be greater
than two years ago, but perhaps not
so much larger as the increased reg
istration would indicate. 1t is freely
admitted that there is much scratch
ing" but as this is being done on
both sides, the scratchers will prob
ably offset each other and live but
little effect on the result
The fact that the many carriages
voters to the polls, were idle much
of the time, shows that many of the
voters had candidates ION the other
side" that they wanted to vote for.
When a fan intends to split his tick
ct, he does not care to ride to the
polls, but will walk to the voting
place, prepare and cast his ballot
with as little ostentation as possible,
not caring to advertise the fact. This

is particularly true of a strong party
man. Nearly all day the street in
front of the court house, where Pre-
cipct No. 1 voted, was filed with car
riages and autos, all idle.
The number of votes polled in Ros-
well at $3.50 this afternoon was as
follows:
Precinct No. 1, $40; Precinct No
II, 462. Total 1882.
Two years ago the vote at $50 p
M, in the same precincts was as fol
lows: Precinct No. 1, $50; Precinct
No. 2, 800. Total, 92O.
The total vote for Delegate in these
two precincts two years ago was as
follows at the close of the polls: Pre-
cinct No. 1, 636; Precinct No. 2, 462
Total, 1,O9S.
Thus it can be seen that there were
but sixteen less votes cast in Ros
well at 8: 80 than there were through
the whole day two years ago in the
two precincts Of the city. There viii
be probably two hundred more votes
cast in these precincts this year than
two years ago, as there are voters
waiting at both polling places fol
their turn to vote.

far as possible the decks cleared, as
the police express it, for the surging
crowds that will pack the famous
thoroughfare tonight from Old Trini-
ty to the Times Square at Forty-sec-
ond street and beyond.
There was a rush of voters at prac-
tically every polling place this morn
ing as soon as the ballot boxes were
opened. Tammany, especially was
anxious to get its vote in early be-
cause of the fear of complications
later in the day through the opera
ton of the new registration law. The
new law requires voters to write their
own names in registering and to re-
peat the signature for comparison
on election day. The questions for il
Hterate voters are quite extensive.
These conditions are likely to result
in slower voting than ever before.
The upstate returns will undoubted-
1y be in before the count in many To-
cal precincts is fairly under way. Erie
county will be one of the first coun-
ties to announce results as the vot-
ing is much in advance there

election with few exceptions tell the
same story of ideal weather condi-
tions and of fast and early voting.

a collision occurred on the Potomac
river between the steamer City of
Washington and the ferryboat Lack
awanna bound from Washington for
Alexandria. One man, Samuel Belan-
Ken, merchant of Alexandria, was
killed. The collision is said to have
been due to confusion of signals and
inability on account of the low stage
of the water to properly handle the
ferryboat. The starboard side of the
Lackawanna was torn away and the
bow Of the City of Washington was
damaged. The Lackawanna had to be
beached.
