GRAND JURY NOW
WATTS FOR BOSSES
Declare Vote of Strikers Puts
Situation Up to the
Manufacturers.

The situation following the remark
able vote of the striking hatters
wherein they almost unanimously sig
nified their intention of remaining out
until the union label is restored is now
up to the manufacturers, according to
the members of the special committee
of the grand jury appointed to act as
m%ediators. President Samuel Mund-
helm, of the Associated Hat Manufac-
turers' Association, said concerning
this special ballot: q
I'VE were prepared to hear thai the
vote would be to keep up the strike,
inasmuch as we learned on good au-
thority that the tip had one around
from the strike leaders that II the vote
was to keep up the strike the manu-
facturers would be sure to weaken.
This assumption was erroneous and
will, not change the attitude Of the
manufacturers, who feel that in taking
the fopen-shop stand and deciding 10

unfortunate that the first plan of the
committee of the Essex County Grand
Jury which took up the matter, to have
the ballots sent by post individually by
the strikers, was not carried out. The
strikers would have in such a Ease been
less under the influence of the leaders

Frederick w. Kroeger, acting chair
man, and Robert A. Bachman, chair
man of the special committee OK. the
grand jury, Issued a statement In
which they said:
Our duty, it must be understood, did
not end with the call for an expression
of union opinion. We were appointed
by the Grand Jury to act as mediators;
consequently we must go farther, with
the hope of getting both sides together
on common ground for the purpose of
having them reach an amicable agree
ment.
80 that our attitude may o he
misunderstood, we will again assert
that our actions are solely in the inter-
ests of the community and the public
at large, now seriously affected by the
strike.
Therefore, in the face of Thursdays
returns, the matter seems to have been
put squarely up to the manufacturers.
We know the sentiment of the union
men. They responded to our call for a
vote and it seems in keeping with our
DUTY to now call upon the manufactur-
ers for an answer to the election re-
turns and invite them to make some
proposition which will aid US to bring
about a determination of the long
drawn-out controversy"

REPUBLICANS EASY
FOR DEMOCRATS IN
BASEBALL GAME
Captain Kinkead and Billy
Hughes, the Jersey Menu
bers, Starred.
Especial to the Newark star.l

WASHINGTON, July lin a fast,
hard hitting game which went seven
innings between 2:30 p. m. and dark,
the Democrats of the House, led by
Representative Eugene Kinkead, Of
New Jersey, ground their proud and
naughty opponents of the Republican
persuasion into the dust yesterday by
the decisive score of q to 16.
The gate receipts went to the WASH
ington Fairgrounds and q large crowd
assembled at American League Park to
see the titanic struggle between the
two great teams chosen from the hos
tile political camps. No one was dis
appointed. III the fifth inning occurred
one of those brilliant rallys on the part
of the Republicans which make the
game the great American outdoor
sport and which for a time seemed to
e%ndanger the strangle-hold which the
Democrats seemed to have secured on
the game. The score at that exciting
moment was 10 to 8 In favor of the
minorities and the lead seemed to the
discerning thousands to be a safe one,
when, by beautifully punching their

The strain had been too great, and
strong men wept, and it is alleged one
or two of the more susceptible of the
lady rooters tainted
Uncle Joe" Cannon, who had several
times previously attempted to stop the
game, but had found himself helpless
without his gavel, plucked up courage
at this %juncture and the color began to
come back into his cheeks. 1t was not
for long, however. as the doughty
Democrats in the very next session,
with a succession of swats, which will
undoubtedly go resounding down the
corridors of time, managed to send five
of their finest romping across the pan.
Uncle Joe, while the wind was with
him n his shoes were good, beat
a hasty and undignifed retreat. The
foes of the tariff clinched their we'll
earned victory in the last and seventh
inning by harvesting a crop of hits
which threshed out eight runs.
The Republicans were led by one of
Pop Anson's old colts. John Kinley Tenor,
of PENNSYLVANIA, but that fact awaited
them naught. In the fifth a distressing
incident occurred, which may have cost
the stand -patters the game. Catcher
Burke and Pitcher Gaines both gam

ab~dominally with such force that both

and were upset. They were brought to

other New Jersey player, covered him.
self with glory and bruises at first on
the winning team.
A prominent figure In the fans eyes,
but a mighty small potato in the game,
was Nick Longworth. He had his
moustache closely trimmed and bore a
ferocious look when he went to bat,
and a foolish one when he went away.
He struck out twice, went out on a
Grounder to kinkead once, and butted
%squarely into a double play that Kin
kead made unassisted in the seventh
inning.

lowing extract from a letter received

ion that public confidence in the admin
istration of the law will be strengthen

tected if convicted murderers are re-
quired to suffer the penalty Of the viO-

Pass It at Once.

The Journals reports from Tallahas-
see indicate that the OvershadOwing
question now before the legislature is
the joint resolution calling for the sub
mission of a constitutional amendment
for statewide prohibition of the liquor
traffic in Florida.
There is little doubt that the resolu-
ton will pass, but whether it passes or
not the question should be settled at
once so that the legislature can get
down to other business which demands
its attention.
The submission Of this amendment
will be in line with the general demand
of the people throughout the state.
The passage of the resolution will not
affect single saloon in the state. It
will not change the present status in
the least. 1t will simply give the peO-
pie of the state an opportunity to vote
on the question and to say, by their
votes, whether or not they want the
saloon in Florida. The legislature will,
in fact, simply be shifting the response
bility of deciding the saloon question to
the people themselves, where it belongs.
The point now is that the legislature
which is going to pass it anyway
should pass this resolution at once and
be done with it. That will settle it so
far as the legislature is concerned and
that body can then get down to other
business, leaving the liquor question to
be passed on by the people one year
from next November. Pensacola Jour

A Lucky Escape for Florida.

The action Of Senator Beard, Of Es-
Gambia, in obiecting to the Governors
patriotic remarks about Abraham Lin
coin, did him no credit. Senator Beard
came dangerously near producing that
long-ago discarded garment, the
bloody shirt, " which has become so
universally unpopular that it is very IN
frequently waved even in the North.
No sound and sensible and fairminded
American can longer entertain other
than the highest regard and the most
sincere respect for Abraham Lincoln.
His record has become a part Of our
history and a glorious part Of it. The
'unreconsuucted rebel" if he still ex-
lists among US, must himself acknowl-
edge the greatness Of Lincoln. To re-
fuse such acknowledgement is to con-
fess himself a bitter and prejudiced
person, indeed, one in whom there is
little Of good American citizenship.
Governor GiIchrsts remarks about
Lincoln were emnently proper and not
in the least inconsistent with the most
mcompromising loyalty to the South,
the South Of the Confederacy or the
South Of today.
Senator Boards attitude on this sub
ject impels Us to congratulate the
State that he was unsuccessful in his
candidacy for the United State Senate.
We can conceive Of nothing that would
be more damaging to Florida and less
expressive Of the sentiments Of its peO-
pie than such demonstration of sec
tiOnal rancOr in the National Congress

Eseambia eOunty's representative in
the state senate, in requesting that that
portion Of Governor GilchriSt's message
to the legislature relative to declaring
the birthday of ADRIAN Lincoln legal
holiday be tabled, was unworthy of the
high patriotic stand that gentleman has
always taken, as well as an uncalled for
reflection upon the executive of the
state Of Florida, and the fact that the
motion was tabled by a vote of 26 to 5
indicates that the members of Florida

Deserved Tribute to GiIchrist.

When Gilehrist offered as a candidate
for Governor, there were some who af-
fected doubt of his ability to fill this
exalted station. If there were ever
any real doubt on the subject it would
be dissipated by perusal of his first
message to the legislature. In this
message the Governor reviews every
legislative need, and shows an insight
into matters of State and a grasp of
affairs that is absolutely statesmanlike.

Lei the Primary Alone.

The legislature of Florida should re-
member, if it is invited to monkey with
the primary law, that there is a general
and fierce fight being made on the pri-
mary all over the country and by the
same kind Of people, tO-wit; the pOliti-
clans and corporations. Inanumber Of
states the politicians Of both parties
made promises in their platforms that
they would give the people a direct pri-
mary for the nomination of officials.
California and Colorado, the legislatures
OF which are controlled by different par
ties, are buncOing the job. In New
York the fight is on in such a shape as
to demonstrate that the path of victory
for the people viii be Strewn with Do
litieal cOrpses.
In several states where the law is al
ready in force strenuous efforts are be-
ing made to emaculate it of all its real
value. 1t is safe to say that the FlOri-
da law is good enough to leave be. If
an attempt is made to amend it at Tai
lahassee the chances are that it will re-
suit in mangling the law, which is
pretty good now. 1t may have some
minor faults, but we do not remember
to have heard or seen anything of a
kick from the voters. The only voices
audible in opposition are those of pOliti-
clans, too many of whom are "agin"
its results. When we find that the hon
est voters are kept away from the polls
it will be time enough to look for the
fault. The sages ct the state capital
might do worse than let the primary
law entirely alone. Tampa Times.
