Ex-president Has Degenerated
Into Ruthless Animal=De=
strOyer, Says DR.. Potter.

"Be ye merciful that We may obtain
mercy" was the text for sermon
preached by the Rev. DR.. Henry Steri-
ing Potter, in the First Baptist Church.
Bloomfield, yesterday. in the course Of
which he attacked Roosevelt for his
African expedition.
"a man. said he, was honored by
the people. who elected him to the high
est office in our land. Our sons We're
told to emulate him. His achievements
were an inspiration to our youth and
the appreciation of the older men was
not withheld. Yet, to crafty thirst
for blood and a craving to kill. he has
been engaged in ruthlessly slaughter
ing the wild animals of Africa and has
degenerated into a wild butcher.
How demoralizing to our young this
is! What kind of reading will it be
for our sons when the excitement of the
chase is described and lurid pictures of
the wounded animals or birds, who es-
capped immediate death and fingered IN
agony and torture. are graphically re-
produced and published in the maga-

GUARDSMAN DEFEND S
FIRST REGIMENT.
Says Members Had but One
Uniform for the Week.

In reply to criticism which was lew
eled against the First Regiment on its
return from Sea Girt Saturday. a
member of that organization said today
that the regiment was marching quick
time from the Broad street station of
the Central to the armory and that
alignment does, not count when such a
step is used. He said the time from
the station to the armory for the regi-
ment was but twenty-seven minutes.
Admitting that perhaps the individ-
ual members of the regiment looked a
trifis ragged, their champion declared
that their slightly bedraggled appear
ance was dut to the fact that they had
but, one uniform with them for the
week. Inclement weather and rough
field work served to take out creascs.

"BOY AERONAUT" TO TRY
TO FLY OVER NEWARK
Goodale Claim He May Make
Attempt Late Today.

If the weather conditions are right
this afternoon. Frank Goodale, the
sboy aeronaut" at Hillside Park, will
attempt to sail from the park over this
city. He requires a mild day, with
little wind blowing. to do the stunt, and
if the wind is strong at o'clock, the
time scheduled for the fight. he will
defer the sail until the wind dies down.
Goodale made flight about the park
about Z o'clock last night. On alight-
ing he found that his engine was not
working properly. An investigation
showed this was due to the salt water
that had crept in when he landed in
the meadows near Kingsland Friday
He remedied this today.

Motorman Put on Speed
and Escaped.

While crossing Springfield avenue,
Hilton, Miss Fannie Weiss, aged "a
years, of 43 Prince street this city,

nue. She attempted to cross Forty
third street, when a car rounded the
corner with terrific speed. According
to the story of Tolener it was upon
Miss Weiss before she had a chance
to escape. He escaped uninjured, but
Miss Weiss was hurled to the pave
ment with great force. Instead of
bringing his car to stop the motor
man is said to have put on full speed
ahead, leaving the girl lying in the
street.
Alone with his companion, Tolener
feared to leave her even for a suf-
fcient time to call assistance and the
young woman was allowed TO remain
where she had fallen for fully an hour.
Assemblyman H. Stacy Smith, who
happened to pass in his automobile,
brought her to the German Hospital

the curbstone, and the injury inflicted
is considered an extremely dangerous
one. Tolener said that the car which
struck his companion was numbered

MOVE los INSANE
PATIENTS IN VANS
Essex County Hospital Inmates
Being Taken to New
Buildings.

The big task of removing the 757
patients from the Essex County Hos
nital for the Insanes old building, in
South Orange avenue. to the new build
ings of the institution in Overlook.
was begun today.
Early in the day FIVE vans. loaded
with 106 men patients. started on the
long drive to the new quarters. Not
the slightest sign of disorder attended
the removal. although this morning
only one of the more violent patients
was removed. This man wore hand
cuffs. Two nurses accompanied each
van. On the way the patients talked
freely among themselves, and such odd
bits of conversation as the following
were overheard:
Don't crowd Haven't you got any
sense? Won't you ever have any,
One of the men wept as he was led
out. He explained his tears by saying
he did not want to leave his old home.
Strange and unusual hats were in
evidence, and one man with a very
high collar wore cravat fashioned
from piece of board.
AS the quarters for the women at
Overlook are not yet finished the
female patients will not be taken from
the old buildings for time. Another
consignment of men viii be taken to
the new hospital tomorrow.
There are at Overlook already go
men and 229 women. The work of
moving will probably consume the bal

: WASHINGTON, July 26.-With the
hides and leather, the White House
again today, became, for the time be-
Ing, the centre of interest in the tariff
fight AT the beginning of the day, it
was expected that advocates of pro-
tected hides would devote some time to
beseeching the President to stand
firmly for material reductions on boots
and shoes and other leather goods, IL
hides are to be duty free.
The conference committee reas-
sembles this afternoon to make fur
.tler effort to reach an agreement, The
two sessions held yesterday We're bar
rem of results, save the clash which IS
reported to have occurred between
Senator Aldrich and Representative
Payne, following the night session.
Although it is not known when the
conference report will be ready for the
House, there is much speculation al
ready as to the time which may be
consumed in discussing it. 1t is not
uplin the House on the day it is pre-
sented, as all of the members will be
entitled to see the report in print be-
fore acting upon it. One day will be
lost, therefore, in getting the report in
shape for discussion.
Until there has been some oppor-
tnnity to study the. temper of the
House II is unlikely that a rule will be
brought in for the regulation of debate.
REPRESENTATIVE Payne will present at
the conference, and Representative
Clark win make a reply in behalf Of
the minority. These statements may
be made on the day on which the re-
poif is presented. The general impress
sicn is that not more than two days
time win he consumed by the House. i'll
the discussion of the report, and some
predict that it will be concluded within
one sitting.
Broader latitude, of course, viii pre-
vail in the Senate, ana predictions as
to the time that will be taken there
vary from two days to week, If the
opponents of free hides should find en-
couragement they might easily discuss
the bill for several DAYS. 1t is ne
lieved, however. that their plan will DE
to express themselves forqibly and
briefly and allow the report TO go to
vote. Some of the insurgent" sena-
tors will doubtless consume more time
1T is understood, for instance, that
Senator La Fohcttc will take advan-
tage Of the opportunity to present his
views at some length before the final
vote is taken. Speeches are expected
from all the senators who voted
against the bill in the Senate.
Tnquestionably, many of the Demo-
Gratis viii lave final word" and Mr.
A.drsch, of course, will make Il state
li1en. regarding the proceedings of the
conference with reference. to the bjlI.s
