PICKERSCILL.

IN CIRCULAR

A circular attacking the character of
Recorder II. E. Pickersgill, has been
issued over the name of Francis P. Man
cinelli, to the italian voters Of the city.
While it mentions no names. excepting
that of Henry W. Kehoe, the democrat
ic candidate for recorder and Mr.. Pick
ersgill's rival in the present campaign,
it plainly denounces the present recor-
der, terming him as poisonous gorilla,
a reptile, monster, etc.
The abuse is printed in italian on
yellow sheets. 1t is addressed to the
Italian-American voters of Perth Am
boy and is entitled GA Dream" print
ed in large bold letters.
Recorder Pickersgill has had one of
the circulars translated. He has decid
ed to take no notice of the matter He

whom the writer mentions than he does
for himself. 1t is thought that Manci-

FOUNDATION BEING BUILT
WEAKENED By RAIN
Special to the EVENING NEWS

New Brunswick, Nov. IA house
belonging to Robert S. Turton, stu
ated in George street, which is being
raised and new foundation built
under it, collapsed shortly before
noon today, the foundation having
settled. Five or six men were caught
beneath the structure and it is be-
lieved all these are dead. The exact
number will not be known until the
rescuers are able to get under the
building.
The accident happened just before
the men were to have quit work for
dinner. How many of the workmen
were in the cellar at the time is un-
certain.
1t is thought that Mr.. Van Sickle,
the contractor In charge of the work,
is one or the victims.
Several Of the men who were near
the edge were taken out and sent to
the hospital
The house is a large three-family
structure and it will be some time
before it can be ascertained how
many men are under it.
The heavy rains weakened the
foundation and caused it to settle so
that the house collapsed.

Refusing to wait for the action of
the committee, 900 drivers of taxi
cabs struck this morning and other
local unions are expected to follow
during the day. Should the general
strike be called it will probably not
be made effective until Wednesday,
but when 1t is the strikers declare
they will tie up every vehicle in the
city except wagons delivering food
stuff.
For the double purposes of evad-
ing the police order requiring every
driver to have city license, and also
of invoking federal aid if further
trouble is encountered, the express
companies today sent out their
wagons with the following placard
attached
This wagon is engaged in inter
state commerce only"
Later in the day the executive
council decided to postpone action on
calling the strike until tomorrow in
the hopes that Valentine Hoffman,
one of the strike leaders, who was
suddenly taken Ill, may be able to
attend.
The second fatality resulting from
the express strike occurred when Peter

that Baldwin and Harmon, Democrats,
will be made governors In Connecticut
