Ala Until the present campaign started that camp, and probably every other camp in the state had kept politics out of their deliberations; and l had hoped and trusted 1t would be kept out; but today we see almost every camp in the state excited and divided on this amendment issue.
 It Is purely political issue, and the Confederate camps have no right official ly to take part in it. In my opinion, this amendment issue strikes at the very principle for which the Confederate sol- dier fought. bled, and so many died. Inclosed I send you few lines written while a prisoner at Fort Delaware. I think they represent the feelings of the true members of the "Old Guard" Place them by the side of the doctors effusion, and let us see which the "Old Guard' will take.

dismissed the action brought by Julia

RALLY TO
AID OF FAVOR|TES
With Ballots Pouring In, Contest
for STARS Medal Is
Very Close.

Indications today are that the ques-
ton as to who is the most popular
player on the Newark team will be de-
cided only after the merriest sort of a
struggle. The STAR will give a dia-
mond-studded medal to the winner.
There is not a member of the team
who has been forsaken by his friends.
That is evident from the number of
ballots already received In fact, the
contest is so close that when the
standing Is announced on Monday it
will be found that no nlayer will be
leading by a large margin.
Joe McGipnity was given a great
boost by his performance in Buffalo
yesterday, but the other players will
have plenty of opportunity to figure
as diamond heroes before the close of
the Eastern League season. In order
to facilitate the work Of counting the
votes it is requested that they be sent
to the office of the STAR as o as
possible. The voting coupon is printed

Their dream of a long and happy life
in a country where hunger and want
were never known and work was al

her five little daughters await deporta-

For almost two years, until a Few
weeks ago, it had seemed to Mrs. FitZ-
Ter and those of the children who were
old enough to comprehend that nothing
they had heard about the wonderful
America across the Atlantic had been
overstated. 1t was over two years ago
that john F~itzler, who with his family
was merely existing in a howell mean
Moscow, decided to make a flank
movement in his war with the wolf
which threatened his door. He came to
this country alone, promising his wife

possible he would send for her and the
little ones. He was true to his prom
Use. He found work in Newark shortly
after his arrival, and his glowing ac-
counts of the land of milk and honey
and meat. principally meat, which,,

every day. whetted the. eagerness of

Fitzler sent for them finally, and the
reunited family was very happy for a
time in Newark, Ambitious to even
better what he regarded as almost ideal
conditions, the immigrant moved with
his family to Chicago. Two months ago
he was thrown out of employment. and
found that the grip of want could be
as merciless here as in Russia. In an
effort to regain what had been lost
Fftzler returned with his family to
Newark
With his efforts to get work unsuc-
cessful Fitzler finally surrendered and
left the family to it's fate. He has not
been seen for over a week. In despera-
ton Mrs. Fitzler appealed to the au.

rulings in such matters she is to pe

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 2S.-Hotel men
are jubilant and reformers are CORE
spondingly down in the mouth today
because Of the failure of the City Busi-
ness League to take any action at its
meeting last night in the matter of the
Sunday crusade. While the league took
no action either for or against the re-
form movement, their failure to do 50
is tantamount to placing them in SYM
athy with the hotel men.
The lid viii not be clamped down nor
will it be open any wider han it has
been. The piers will be open and the
moving picture theatres will be per-
mitted to run so long as they do not
display any Objectionable scenes or per-
NIT a regular vaudeville bill in con-
nection herewith.
Threats of raiding public cafes and
bars tomorrow should they again defy
the Sunday closing law have caused
more or less uneasiness among the H.
cense holders. as they fear the effect of
such action on their patronage.
