TRENTON, June 3.--Immediately
after the second branch of the Su-

Hood, special counsel selected by
Prosecutor Mott, of Essex County, pro-
ceeded to answer the argument ad-
Vanced yesterday by Samuel Kalisch,

proceedings brought by the latter to
have certain indictments set aside
which were found against him and
others by the Essex County grand jury.
Mr.. Hood entered into an extended
argument of legal points and cited nu-
merous cases. He closed his argument
by saying:
IF there be anything in the indict-

making their defense, the proper mode
is to apply to the trial court to compel
the prosecutor to elect or furnish the
defendant with proper bill of particu-
lars"

nesses of Accident.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-President
Roosevelt had an exceedingly narrow
escape from serious accident while
horseback riding in Rock Creek Park.
Mrs. Roosevelt was with the President,
and the rumors of the affair which
gained currency last night We're denied
at the White House at the time, as
neither the President nor Mrs. Roose-
welt spoke of the affair upon their re-
turn. The rumors came from the oc-
cupants of several carriages who saw
the accident
The President was riding a new
horse, a young animal. The party rode
down through a cut in bank, forded
a creek and We're ascending the bank
on the other side. The President s
horse reared, the President leaned for
ward in the saddle, and threw the
reins down in loops so as to avoid pull
ing the horse backward Again on
reaching the top of the bank the horse
reared a second time, and the President
leaned forward again, but the animal
stood straight up on it's hind legs and
4 then went over backward into the
creek with the President.
Feeling that he was going backward
the President slipped from the saddle
and. as luck would have it, fell into the
creek close beside the horse, which
/ landed on its back. The horse fell or
/ the down stream side of the President
who, realizing that he would be in dan
ger from the animals feet should the
horse turn towards him. got out of the
way as rapidly as possible.
! The horse, however. turned over
from the President and got up. lie
was captured at once. the President
remounted and rode for an hour and
a half before returning to the White
House. The fall from the horses back
to the stream bed was distance of
more than ten feet. The stream was
about two feet deep, with an exceed
ingly rocky bed. Neither the President
nor the horse received the slightest
injury.

RACE BETWEEN
TWO STATES TO
EXTRAD|TE SHARP
Alleged Swindler of Banks Held
Here Will Be Taken to
Georgia or Washington.

Charles w Sharp, the alleged bank
swindler of gentle breeding. who was
arrested here Monday by Detective Ser
geant CORDIALLY and Detective Carroll,
of Camden, is wanted by the authori-
ties in Atlanta, Ga, and Seattle,
Wash, for obtaining money on worth
less paper. Captain Carroll, of the de-
tective bureau, today received a tele-
gram from Seattle requesting that
Sharp be held for extradition to that
State.
A similar request has been made by
the Atlanta, Georgia, police. Captain
Carroll says that the Georgia authori-
ties will probably be the first to call
for him. First come, first served. is
my motto" said Captain Carroll today,
land the officers who get here first
will be the ones to take Sharp away"
Sharp's aged mother visited him to-
day and spent half an hour in earnest
conversation with him in the office OF
the captain of detectives. At It's con-
clusion she declared that she had
sacrificed nearly all she had to keer
her son from disgrace. but had reached
the end of her resources and the law
would have to take it's course.
A woman who said that she is
Sharps wife also called on him earlier
in the day. A telegram. sent to the
prisoner by friend who signed him
self IL. Snuff, of % Howard street
Seattle, Wash.,' read as follows:
"Should Pattie desire assistance
through Temple or self, wire at our
expense"
The "Pattie" referred to, Sharp said,
was his wife, whose real name was
Temple, and whose first husband was
referred to in the message. Sharp
wife refused to say when she had been
married or talk of her personal affairs,
but denied that she was going to Seat

ACTION OF FOUR YEARS
AGO NOT A PRECEDENT
Senator Kean Surrendered Hon.
or as Personal Favor and
Not Official.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, June 3.-Reports re-
ceived here indicate that while friends
of Governor j Franklin Fort think he
will be made chairman of the New
Jersey delegation to the national Re
publican convention. unbiased observ-
ers. who have been in touch with
leaders from various parts of the State
are inclined to the conclusion that
United States Senator John Kean will
obtain the honor.
Although there will be nothing but
fleeting honor in the position, it is said
here that the Governor has had a
number of conferences with delegates
soliciting their support.
What arguments were presented TO
them, il the alleged meetings took place,
are not known, but the Governor occu-
pies an office that can carry consider
able influence If the occupant desires
to use some of his prerogatives.
Friends of the Governor make denial
of rumors that he will use the weight OF
patronage to induce delegates to sup
port him against the Senator.
South Jersey seems inclined to Sen
ator Kean, out of Difference to the Gus
tom which gives the position to the
senior Senator. The only departure
from precedent was four years ago
when Senator Kean. to whom the place
was offered, allowed Mr.. Murphy. then
Governor, to take the post as a matter
of personal courtesy and for private
reasons.
Because of the nature of conditions
at that time, the selection of Cover
nor Murphy could not be presented
now as establishing a precedent That
arrangement was personal, not official.
The natural course, in the view of the
men seen would be to give the place
to the Senator and not the Governor.
If Senator Kean and Governor Fort
should get together and make a pri-
vate arrangement, as did the Senator
and Mr. Murphy, the matter might be
settled without bitterness of feeling
It is thought that the Senator, how
ever, after giving way four years ago.
would like to have the place this year
He has not seen any of the delegates
since he came back from Washington,
in an effort to promote his candidacy,
and has not been in Trenton to meet
the Governor Whether they have met
in the upper part of the State is not
known.

The fire. which started shortly before

heard someone in the street cry fire.
Three hours later another saloon fire
broke out and three families occupying
apartments in the same building, $40
Springfield avenue, were driven to the
street with little excitement, but thinly
clad. This fire was extinguished before
it had a chance to spread.
The other blaze occurred last night at
$3.50, and was a chimney fire in a five
story tenement house at 259 Bergen
street. owned by Joseph Fere. 1t was
extinguished before any damage was
done. but the clouds of dense black
smoke excited the tenants and they
rushed into the street. carrying their
children and household effects with
them.
