to call the caucus "at once" The men,
bers had scarcely taken their seats

I'm accordance with a command is
sued to me, / announce that a caucus
of the Republican members of the
House will be held in the Speakers
room at once and the Republicans
filed into the Speakers room, while the
waiting Democrats started the familiar
song, We're Here Because We're
Here
When the caucus got together Mr..
Martin, who. as leader, Is chairman
of caucuses, called it to order, but re-
fused to stay in the chair n named

Der. in his place, while Henry c. Hines,
of Essex. the secretary, who was one of
the men who quit with Mr.. Martin, was
by b. F. Buck, of Cumber-
land County.

was in the chair, Mr.. Thompson, of
Mercer, offered a resolution to adjourn
on April s.. Braun, of Essex, made a
speech in opposition. Secretary Hines
moved to adjourn without acting. This
beaten. He moved hen to table
Thompson's resolution. This met tho
same fate as the prior motion. Thornp-
son said all business could be COM
pleted by April Q. The House coul
carry out it's pledges in the next
three days.
Mr.. Moxon remarked that the Senate
could finish up if this were done.
: "What'll happen if your ifs and
are not carried out?" asked Mr..
Braun.
God Almighty oily knows
Mr.. Martin urged execution of the
party's pledges. Austen Colgate, who,
as personal aide to Governor Fort, is
regarded as the executives represen-
tative, remarked, You've got a dose
for us, give 1t to us. We know it's
coming"
Martin Quits ms Chairman
When Professor Thompson moved the
previous question, Mr.. Martin, who was
still in the chair, said he could not
stand for the proposition, and then
called Gibbs to the chair. AS Gibbs
passed Mr.. Martin to take h place, he
halted as they met and, addressing Mr..
Martin, remarked in a voice that
trembled with anger:
This Is the first time in the history
Of the Republican party in New jersey
that a leader has ever broken from

rFrom a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, April 1.--Senator Colby,
of Essex, this morning bolted the Re-

The Senators spent the time after
Mr.. Colby's departure in threshing out
the Robbins bill. A minor amendment
or two was suggested and will be adopt

the bankrupt concern to the extent of
$3.50, and represents the c. G. Winans
Company and Julius Lichtman & Sons,
alleged creditors for $108 and $685.. "a,
respectively. He charges that the con-

THE PRIMARY ELECTION
To Determine Who Will Be Delegates

Convention, Is on Today.
Special to the Herald.

Dallas, Texas, May "A special
primary election to determine if Sen
ator Bailey shall be elected as a del
egate at large to the democratic ma
tional convention is in progress
throughout Texas today. The primary
will determine the personnel of the
entire Texas delegation, numbering
twenty members in all, that will at
tend the Denver convention. The re-
suits of the primary will be ratified
by the state convention which is to
meet in Fort Worth on May &c.
Baileyism, so-called, is the one ana
only issue of the fight, which has been
the most bitter political contest ev4'
recorded in Texas. The fight againd
Senator Bailey has been going on evel'
since the exposure of the alleged
deals with the Waters Pierce and
Standard Oil people more than year
ago. Texas has probably been the
most bitter and persistent foe that the
Standard Oil company ever went up
against After fighting the company
in the courts for years it was finally
forbidden to do business in the state
and state officials have been lying
awake nights ever since in an en-
deavor to find something belonging to
the Standard Oil company upon which
they might levy to satisfy the juds-
ment.

transactions came to light the commo-

possibility of fractured bones. A
month after the accident he was dis
and almost penniless, as what he had

money was exhausted soon after
reaching Palestine. He was penni-
less, absolutely in no condition to
work, and without an acquaintance.
He was truthful, as letter to the hos

receiving aid from the society. But
what could he do? He had no friends

Of these receipts and diSburSe-
ments the cash value of the new mer-
chandise contributed before the
Christmas holidays is inclnded,

only s92.1S per month, or total sub
scription from the town of S160.90 for
the past five months, the remaining

have been drawing largely on our
Christmas surplus to pay our current
bills and this surplus is now exhaust
ed. We will, therefore, of necessity
lections are. increased in amount. It
will be our earnest effort during the
remainder of the year to meet, as we
have done in the past, all worthy
calls upon us for aid and we look to
our regular ward collections for the
necessary funds. Practically all dis
tribution is done by ladies familiar
with the local surroundings of those
appealing for aid. Not dollar is
wasted. Their calls on the treasurer
have amounted to over one hundred
dollars a month, and no less than
this amount ought to be contributed
regularly by the citizens of the town.
: Although our ward collections are not
as large this year as last, yet we are
not discouraged, but, on the other
hand believe HE actus is
perhaps greater than ever before and
that the society is growing in power
