Mrs. Naomi T. Kingdom celebrated her
Goth birthday at her home In Burlington
on Sunday. She was kindly remembered
by several friends and received many
beautiful floral offerings Dinner was
served and was enjoyed by her entire fam
ily of children, son-in-l law, daughter-in-
law, grandchildren. with husband and
wife of two of them, and her great-grand-
son. Mrs. Kingdom had been quite Ill
during the summer, but is now in fairly
good health and maintains her faculties.
She thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
At meeting held at Burlington, Tues
day evening, to prepare for the coming
Halloween celebration In that city, much
enthusiasm was manifested, and it is pro-
bable that the coming event will excel in
interest that of last year, which was
highly pleasing to the twelve hundred
people who were present from Mount
Holly. Because of the large attendance
the committee having the matter in charge
should provide ample accommodations,
both on the steam and trolley cars. The
great benefit which the people of Burling-
ton derive from that celebration justiies

ADDE'S in Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. ia desperate re-
volver fight resulted early today when
squad of police attempted to force
entrance into house at Front and
Carpenter streets where John Kapuska,
wanted On charge Of two murders,
was supposed to be in hiding.
Three men were arrested and during
the fighting Kapuska escaped
Kapuska was sought for the murder
of John Greigel, 313 Milwaukee avenue.
and Louis Falardeau, 500 Noble street.
He is also known by the name of
Kruger.
The police received word that the
house at Front and Carpenter streets
was barricaded and it was believed that
Kapsuka was inside. A squad of po-
lice was dispatched to the scene and
surrounded the house. A demand that
Kapsuka surrender was answered with
fusillade of shots from inside.
The police replied with volley and
then prepared to storm the place. A
few moments later it became apparent
that the occupants of the house had
used all of their ammunition and the
police charged, smashed in the doors
and captured three. 1t was at this
time that Kapuska escaped.

POUNDED A HELPLESS MAN.
Tough Negro Hammered an Old White
Man-No Police in Sight.

An unusual and disgusting scene was
that on Kansas avenue yesterday
afternoon when burly negro attacked
without apparent warning or provoca-
ton a white man in front Of the Kiehl
laundry and beat him numerically
with his fists. The white man was old
and fat and utterly incapable of de-
Tending himself against the husky
negro and cried out in pain and protest
as the latter struck him down. The
negro then went into the stone house
south of the laundry and got his coat
and going out again struck the old
white man again as the latter leaned
against a telephone pole wiping the
blood from his face. Not a policeman
in sight for ten minutes before or after
the scene, although the injured man
and several bystanders were looking
for one. No one was near enough to
interfere when the attack was made.
The names of the participants in the
affair could not be learned.

STREETS ARE BLOCKED.
Police Forced to Clear a Way for
Bryan in New York.

New York, Sept. 1S.-William ].
Bryan arrived here this forenoon and
proceeded at once to the Democratic
headquarters in the Hoffman house.
At Jersey City he was besieged by
n eWEpapeF men, who wanted MIN to
elaborate his charges made yesterday
at Harrington, Del, and again last
night at Wilmington, that the officials
of the United States steel corporation
were supporting the Republican party
in the campaign. In reply to the ques-
ton, Does your charge that the Re-
publican party is protecting the steel
trust extend to the chief executive ?"
He replied: or stated what everybody
knows-that the steel trust has not
been prosecuted and that no promi-
nent Republican has said anything
against it. 1 have also said that the
steel trust is supporting the Republic
can ticket and that the Republican
national committee will not dare to
publish before election the contribu-
tions which they will receive from the
officials of the steel trust. Mr.. Sheldon
virtually admits this this morning in
an interview in the New York Herald.
He is the treasurer of the Republican
national committee and as l under
stand it a director of constituent cor
porations of the steel corporations. He
is quoted as saying:
If a member of the executive COM
mittee or an officer of the United States
Steel corporation wishes to support the
Republican party, he has the same
right as any other Individual?
Mr.. Bryan said in an interview that
he was satisfied in the event of his
election that no legitimate interest
would be jeopardized or suffer. He de-
clared that he had never endorsed Mr.
Roosevelt, but had criticized him when
he thought he was wrong and com
mended when he thought the president
was right and had done this without
waiting to see whether his actions were
popular or not. .
''Some of Mr.. Roosevelt's policies"
said Mr.. Bryan, "are popular in the
west and some are unpopular. and the
popular ones are those which nave Deen
borrowed from the Democratic party"
Mr.. Bryan said the tide was running
in favor of the Democratic party. :,
John Redmond the Irish leader, call
ed on Mr.. Bryan today. So large a
crowd filled Broadway intent on seeing
Mr.. Bryan when he arrived at the
rooms of the Commercial Travellers
league at noon that the police had diff
ficulty in forcing a way for the candl-
dates automobile through the demon
strative throng.
Inside $500 men awaited him. Mr..
Bryan said that the trust question was
closest to the travelling men. A COM
plete monopoly, he said, would result
in the complete loss of the travelling
mans business. A brainy man would
then be unnecessary, a son-in-law
would do. The buyer would have 10
come to the monopolist to purchase.
The progress toward monopoly, MI
Bryan said, may be slow and complete
rnonopolv may seem far off; but the
tendency continued would lead to 1t lii
time.
