STRIKERS
DENY CONTEMPT
OF COURT ORDER
Story of Constable Over Cause
of Shooting Assailed
by Defendant.

The defense opened today in the case
of former employees of the Standard
Mill Company, of Phillipsburg, charged
with contempt by disobeying an order
not to annoy or interfere with men and
women who went to work in the mill
during a strike last winter.
Arthur Sinclair was the first witness.
He fatty denied the story of Constable
Philip Osborn, of Phillipsburg, who
swore last week against h strikers
who are defendants in the contempt
proceedings, and who said that one
day in February last he saw Frank
Gill, Edward Tobin and other strikers
thrown at him, Osborn, and he fired
roward the crowd. The witness swore
that a crowd of children laughed and
made remarks when employees in the
mill passed. but he did not neal any of
the defendants make a remark to the
employees.
George II. Edelston, one of the de-
PENDANTS, admitted that a restraining
order of the Chancery Court was served
on him. but he denied that he violated
the order.
Albert Dick. who was financial secre-
tary of the Phillipsburg union of the
Textile Workers of America at the
time of the strike, was a good witness
for himself and the other strikers.
After admitting that he did picket
duty for the strikers, he denied that
he used any but peaceable means to
get new and old employees in the silk
mill to quit work. He swore he was
never served with a copy of the re-
straining order of the court, only with
afidavits left at his home. He testi-
fled that a man named Fischer called
him names, and they had a quarrel
over the strike in the mill. He denied
strictly thai he ever called persons who
went to work in The mill during the
strike 'scabs'' or other names. He was
told, he said, that Armenians who went
to work in the mill were "crazy peo-
ple,' and he repeated his to his
friends. He testified that he did not do
any picket duty after he was told the
Chancery court had issued a restrain
ing order against strikers.

company that he vas short $4,000 in
his accounts with the institution, and
that he had lost all Of it in stock gam
bling in the boardwalk bucket shops.
The onfess sion of the teller, coming
soon after he was arrested, unnerved
his beautiful young wife, and physi-
clans believe she is on the verge of a
nervous collapse. When Ohnmeiss was
taken from her side by the police she
stood up for him Loyalty, declaring her
faith in his innocence and pledging her

his confession completely Frustrated
her, and since then she has been hys-

in a speculation in az single bucket shop.
He also learned, it is said. that the

WASHINGTON TO HELP
ALONG NEUTRALITY LAWS.

WASHINGTON. June 29.-The State
Department is carefully watching the
developments in the insurrectionary
situation along the northern border of
Mexico. The department officials feel
that the International aspect of the
trouble will be adjusted satisfactorily
and every effort will be made for the
preservation of neutrality. The eX-
pected return of Enrique Creel, the
Mexican ambassador, probably will be
followed by conferences between him
and Acting Secretary of State Adee,
which are likely to be productive of
much good in the maintenance of the
closest possible relations between the
two governments in the matter.

A CLEVELAND DEMOCRAT
Nebraskan Eager to Conciliate
That Wing-CaunOt Find
Candidate.

DENVER, June 29.-The lineup of
the delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention, as 1t appears today.
gives Bryan SCI votes, or many more
than the 672 necessary to nominate.
The only chance his opponents now see
is the possibility that Colonel J. M.
Guffey. of Pennsylvania, and others,
can win over some of the delegates who
have been instructed for the Nebraskan.
During last week Georgia, Vermont
and North Carolina held their coaven-
TONS. That Of North Carolina is still
in session. Georgia elected twenty-six
delegates hat were uninstructed. and
Vermont elected eight delegates that
were uninstructed after Bryan resolu-
tions had been voted down by an over
whelming majority. 1t is said that the
Georgia delegates are opposed to the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan, 1t is also
said that the Vermont delegation.
while headed by one of the strongest
Bryan supporters in the Green Noun
tain State, is at least half against
Bryan.
1t will thus appear that the opposi-
ton to Bryan made a desperate squirt
in the last few days of The contest.
Had they done this earlier the result
might have been different.

MOUNTAIN BANDITS
join MEX|CANS IN
GROWING REVOLT
InsurrectiOnists Gather in Force
in Face of l,5OO Federal
Troops.

CITY OF MEXICO. June 29.-The
internal troubles in Mexico, which de-
veloped several days ago along the
northern border of the republic, have
developed serious features. Today he
storm centers around the city of Tor
reon and in the country between that
place and Jaral, where bandits are
operating in conjunction with the In
surrectionists.
Government troops are rushing to
the scene. Already 1900 Federal SOL
diers have reached Torreon to rein
force the garrison there; 200 more
have reached Juarez, and in Chihau-
hau soldiers are patrolling the streets
and the public houses and jails are
heavily guarded.
In view of the latest developments
Ambassador Creel. who has been here
on what promised to be a long leave
of absence, has been instructed to re-
turn to Washington without delay.
It is the belief of the Mexican roy
eminent that the revolutionary move
ment o in progress was fomented
by a band of a~gitators who long nave
made their headquarters in the United
States. On this ground, it is believed,
Ambassador Creel will appeal to the
United States authorities to assist in
experimenting some of the revolution
lists, particularly those who were con-
cerned in the attack on Las Vacas. The
request will be made also that if n
of the ringleaders in the movement are
captured in the United States, they are
to be tried in the courts of that coun-
try on charges of violating the neutral
ity laws.

Gumey's Fight ON Bryan.

Colonel j. NJ. Guffey has taken the
field against Bryan in a final effort to
prevent the Nebraskan getting two
thirds. His plan is to have delegates
disobey their Instructions, as he is
having delegates in Pennsylvania do.
He has sent many kilograms to Roger
Sullivan. of Illinois, asking him to
swing the flfty-four instructed Bryan
delegates from that State to some
other candidate. This may rouse such
resentment on the part of Bryan
toward Guffey that he may order the
Pennsylvania delegates who violate in
structions unseated.
Thus far Roger Sullivan has resisted
the efforts of Guffey to switch from
Bryan. Mr.. Sullivan oes not believe
that two-thirds of the convention can
be taken away from Bryan. He thinks
it would kill the party to follow Colo
mel Guifey and compel instructed dele
gates to disobey Instructions and vote
for some other candidate.
Just now Bryan Is trying to get
closer to the Cleveland wing of the
party, and to that end is seeking to
concillate that element by hanging up
second place. His first choice is Judge
Gray, and ne is eager to overlook the
fact that this famous Delaware Demo-
crat worked against him and opposed
him in the campaign of 1896.
The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-06-29

1t is doubtful if Judge Gray will re-
sign his life place on the bench of a
United States court to take the nomi-
nation. If he will Bryan will be be-
side himself with happiness. If Bryan
cannot induce Judge Gray to take the
nomination he will be in a quandary.
He cannot take Governor Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, a Cleveland Cabinet man,
for the reason hat Smith has been UNI
horsed in his State. If Smith a not
suffered defeat Bryan, failing to induce
Judge Gray to take it, would have taken
Smith, and failing in Smith Bryan's
thoughts have turned to Judson Har-
mon as the holder of a Cleveland port
folia, and yet Judge Harmon, having
been nominated for Governor of
Ohio, has been eliminated from vice
presidential consideration.
Next Bryan's mind has been directed
toward Adlai e. Stevenson, Vice-Presi-
LEM under Cleveland and Bryan's
mate in 1900; and yet Bryan rather
thinks Stevenson Is a little too old for
serious consideration.
The only Democrat not yet in the
good graces of Bryan appears to be
Governor Johnson. Bryan will pre-
ven his nomination for Nice-President
if possible. although Governor John
son has distinctly stated that he is a
candidate for first place and is not a
candidate for second place on the ticket
to be named here.

SOME FADS AND FASHIONS
FROM GAY OLD GOTHAM

remain with us. Some of the very
newest suitings come in chevron pat
terms, the pattern being an exact con-
tinuation of the rest of the material
but in darker shade, as grey with an
almost black border, light tan with
wood brown, or blue with a mixture of
green and black. These are only the
forerunners of many other combina
tions for they are much liked because
of their decorative note, their eco
nomical aid in trimming and their ex-
cellent contrast. Nevertheless, there
are women who prefer the perfectly
plain costume, self-trimmed. An ex-
cellent example of such gown was
seen in blue cloth having a herring
bone stripe, which added to the short
stature of the wearer. The skirt was
many gored and circular in fit. The
coat was plain, slightly cutaway in
front coming to the knees with a regu-
lar coat collar and turned back cuffs.
Machine stitching gave it its only
finish.
The hat was blue, small, turned up
at the left side, covered with the new
rep silk so fashionable just now. The
trimming consisted of a simple fold
of black velvet around the crown and
curling quilts in tan and white having
black spots and centres. The shoes
and spats were of tan and the purse
and gloves followed suit while the
umbrella was of blue silk with a
brown wood handle-an altogether
chic costume for the coming season.
Linen suits will be worn as long as
the weather permits of them, and
those of white will be made more ap-
propriate by the addition of little ex.
ira coats in color. White sedge suits
will be popular when worn with col
ored jackets of mauve, or red. or of
black and white, and the collar and
cuffs of these jackets should be of
black velvet.
