FATHER CLAIMS
e MINDLESS GIRL
FOUND WANDERING
Miss KenlptOn, Sufferer from
Strange Mental Disease, Will
Recover, Doctors Say.

Miss Irene Kempton, whose identity
has been a mystery to the Newark police
since Tuesday, was claimed today by
her father, Schuyler Kempton, a we'll
to-do resident of Orange road, Perth
Amboy. He took the pretty young
woman home. She was still suffering
from paramnesia, a form of aphasia,
which leads the victim to remember
things which never happened
When the pretty girl, who was
dressed all in white, was found Tues
day she was wandering aimlessly about
the streets of Roseville. It was sew
eral hours before she could speak a
word, and then she described herself
as a person other than her real self.
She said her father had brought her
from their home in Red Bank and had
abandoned her in Newark.
Mr.. Kempton. who has been seeking
his daughter since she disappeared, told
Captain Ubhaus, of the Fifth Precinct
police station, who cared for the girl
until she was claimed, that she had
been Ill for some time and that her
mind had been affected. The doctors
had told him that she would pass out
OF the period of mental depression
soon, when her mind would again be
normal

SHERIFFS WORK
AND BILLS GIVEN
MOTIFS APPROVAL
Prosecutor Sanctions Sommer's
Expense Account for Opera
tors" Exceeding $4,000.

Prosecutor Mott today defended Sher-
iff Sommer's administration. In ap-
proving two bills Of the sheriff for the
payment of operators in his recent
anti-vice crusade. which brings the
total up to $23, 70S.21, the prosecutor
said
''F'rom every point Of view / CON
slider these eXpeditures amply justified
The value of the work done by Sheriff
Sommer cannot be measured by dollars
and cents, and yet if we were to adopt
that low and sordid standard the facts
show that these expenditures have been
a good investment for the county. The
books of the county show that there
has already been actually paid into the
county treasury in the cases on which
these expenditures were made, cash
from fines imposed, exclusive of the
cocaine cass, and money collected from
forfeited recognizances, the sum of
$33, ,572.36.
There is still due the county on for
feited recognizances on which suits
have been commenced and are now
proceeding to judgments and execution
in the orderly way the sum of $1,000.
The fines imposed in the cocaine cases
amount to So 500. The total receipts add
up to $44,51436, which, with $23 7OS.21
out for expenses, leaves a total of $20,-
9O6.15"
Continuing, the prosecutor says: At
emphatically repudiate, however, the
idea that the value of the work done
by the sheriff is to be measured by
the dollar standard. one boy saved
would have justified the whole eXpendf-
ture, and yet there were scores of
them"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 20.-One

score Of others injured today as the
result of an explosion in the hold of
the Hamburg American line steamer
Arcadia, Captain Schaarschmidt which
arrived yesterday from Hamburg. The
dead man was a negro stevedore of
this city. Sixteen of the injured, the
majority of whom are negro stevedores.
are in hospitals. Some of them will
lose limbs.
The cause of the explosion is not
known, but is believed to have been
due to gases that may have accumu-
lated While the holds were closed.
Sixty stevedores We're put to work as
soon as the steamer was tied to her
dock at Washington avenue, Delaware
river, early today. All the holds were
opened and twenty-five men entered
the forehold to unload the cargo. Short
~ after they entered there was a ter
rife explosion. Some were able to
climb out of the hold and others were
rescued by stevedores working in other
parts of the steamer. Great difficulty
was experienced in getting the men out
because of fire which followed the ex-
plosion.
Many heroic rescues were made. The
! flames gained such headway that the
rescuers were driven out and one steve
dore was burned to death in the bot
Etom of the hold. When firemen reached
the steamer they found the vessel al
most entirely enveloped in flames.
Quick work, however, saved the vessel
from destruction.

Former Governor and Dalrymple
Say Roosevelt Taft Combine
Is "Steam Roller"
NEW JERSEYMAN TAKING :
CRUSHING" GRACEFULLY
Rut lie Declares lie Is Hopeful
for the Republican
Ticket

PITTSBURG, June 20.-Former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy and the New
Jersey delegation to the Republican
national convention will arrive in New
ark at O'Clock this afternoon in a
special train, which passed through
here as the second section of the Penn
sylvania Limited.
Alfred N. Dalrymple, chairman OF
the Essex county committee. leader of
the New Jersey delegation and politi
cal manager for the Ex-Governor,
brought Mr.. Murphy from his compart-
ment to dictate a statement, given
herewith, for THE EVENING STAR.
Both Mr.. Dalrymple and Governor
Murphy satirize the Roosevelt TAFT
combination as the "steam roller"
While waiting for Mr. Murphy to dress
Mr. Dalrymple said
Mr.. Murphy is taking his crushing
by the steam roller philosophically.
While he and his supporters are natu-
rally disappointed over the manner in
which the White House finally inter-
fered in the vice presidential nomlna-
tion, all are in good spirits and are
hopeful for the ticket"
The Steam Roller Did lit.
When AIR Murphy came from his
compartment he was in remarkably
good humor. and dictated this state
ment to be telegraphed on ahead If
him:
THE campaign for my nomination de-
veloped quickly upon my arrival in
Chicago. As soon as it was understood
by my associates on the National Com
mittee that my State had indorsed me
for the nomination for Vice-President
assurances of support came from all
sides. When the New Jersey delegation
arrived, the members took hold with
earnestness and soon obtained promises
from various States with more than
800 votes that they would support me
These assurances, however, appear TO
have been given with a proviso that the
steam roller, which had been put in the
shed upon the nomination of the presi
Dental candidate. should not be taken
out. When that appeared, under full
head of steam, with Speaker Cannon in
charge as ngineer-imagine Speaker
Cannon in charge of the steam roller
the life was crushed out of most of
these assurances and not many sur
viyed.
Confidence in the Ticket.
81 am grateful, however, to the dele
gates from my own State for their
loyalty and to many friends through
put the country for their confidence.
"As TO the candidates, for the first
time in our history we have Beally
great man whose recent experiences
has specially trained him for the great
pffice of President He will be elected.
Under his guidance the reforms begun
by the present administration will be
continued and developed to the benefit
Of the country.
"The candidate for Yice-President Is |
a. statesman of long experience in Con- |
gress, and of great personal popularity.
This made his nomination compare
lively easy, when his great State finally
united upon him. He will supplement
and support the candidate for Pres-
aent and together they viii make a
strong ticket. I havelbeen somewhat
anxious for Republican success and
fame. but the ticket named at Chicago
will help us as much as any ticket
can"
