ARE VOTING ON
STRIKE QUESTION
Men to Decide Action on Re-
fusal of Company to Grant
Wage Demands.

NEW YORK, May 9.-Employees OF
the Erie railroad began voting today
to decide If the men should go on strike
as the result of the refusal of the Off
cials of the road to grant the demands
of conductors, trainmen, baggagemef
and switchmen for increase of wages
to equal the scale now being paid by
the Baltimore and Ohio road.
A. b. Garretson, grand chief of the
Order of Railway Conductors, said the
vote was being taken all along the line
to Chicago and would be gathered by
the various local unions, and the votes
will be sent to this city for official
tabulation on May l6.
1t was said by the representatives OF
the men today that the vote would un-
doubtedly provide for the alternative
of strike in the event of all Other
efforts for settlement failing, but that
a strike was not likely to follow There
are 1000 men concerned in the Erie
wage schedule.

Chief Ashley Scores Conditions
in Letter to City's Water
Department.

Chief Ashley, of the fire department,
today sent to the water department a
letter complaining of the unusual lack
of water at the fire which early yes
terday morning destroyed the plant of
the Excelsior Pottery Company. at 495
Fifth street. Three persons were over
come by smoke and damage amounting
to $4,000 done at the fire.
The chief in his letter stated that
there wasn't a drop of water to be
had at the hydrants at Bloomfield ave-
nue. and Fourth street, Second avenue
and Fourth street and Second avenue
and Sixth street. This unlocked for
lack of water greatly handicapped the
firemen.
Each of these hydrants failed to
give any water when tapped" was the
burden of the complaint made by the
chief
George Sanzenbacher, in charge of
the water department, admitted the
truth of the complaint of the chief and
said that the trouble is that the de-
partment hasn't been able to extend
the 16-inch water main to that section
of the city.

PARKER CLAIMS He
LOST THOUSANDS
IN ZINC ROYAL TIES
Congressman Again on Stand
Today in Fight Over MINI
ing Agreement.

Congressman Richard Wayne Parker
was again a witness before Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell today, when the sixth day
in the proceedings brought by him
against the New Jersey Zinc Company
to enforce the terms of lease of min
ing rights in Sussex county, owned by
him, was begun.
For the last sixteen years the zinc ore
has been taken from the Sussex county
mines, the monthly output in recent
years being approximately 10000 tons,
and it is the claim of the congressman
that he did not receive all the royalties
due him and that In the words of his
counsel. his brother, Chauncey G. Par
ker, he, the congressman has lost
thousands and thousands of dollars.
No specific amount has as yet been
mentioned in the course of the fight,
which up to date has been along purely
technical lines, mining engineers and
men of science having given testimony
as to the methods in vogue during the
operation of the mines. the value of the
zinc extracted and other points helping
to enlighten court and counsel to get at
the equity in the case.
When Congressman Parker was called

by his brother today on the direct ex-
animation he told of the times that he
went to the mines in order to watch
their development, and in the course of
that examination Mr.. Chauncey Parker
put his brothers case in a nutshell by
saying:
1--WE are entitled to money for the
ore from the time they took it, They
credited Mr.. Parker with the ore. but
not with the cash"
In detailing conversation with Vice
President August Heckscher and other
officials of the zinc company, held in
New York on July IL. 1904, Congress
man Parker said:
"It was continuation of previous
interviews. They wanted me to sell out,
waive the pillars in the mine or ex-
tend the lease"
was that conversation in the New
York Officer?
Eyes, sir / was ready to enter into
an agreement to extend the lease If
they would put my shaft to the bottom
of the mine and if they would pay me
on ore instead of on concentrated min
erals and If they would prosecute and
develop the mines so that they would
bore it all and enlarge the minimum
They wanted to buy me out. but l said
I would have to know what was there
before / could talk about that"
Mr. Parker was cross-examined by
Richard V. Lindabury. of counsel for
the zinc company, in reference to the
agreement he had with the Rutherford
estate, from which he acquired the
land and the mining rights and to
whom he pays part of the royalty. He
said that the amount was 25 per cent.
OF all the ore taken out of the mines.
Asked directly by Mr.. Lindabury
what his claim really was. Congress-
man Parker said somewhat tartly:
Instead of paying me on the ore.
they only paid me on what they
thought was the available part of the
ore. In other words, they did not pay
me what they owed me /"

STORIES OF CRUELTY
ARE PROVEN UNTRUE

Gently. will be given a fresh start.
| Next Saturday night Senator Edmund
w. Wakelee, of Bergen county, will be
dined in New York city by his county
committee and the Wakelee guberna-
torial boom will be sprung.
The gubernatorial race is warming
up. Vivian Lewiss popularity is in
creasing all the time. His affability is
only exceeded by his congeniality. He
is regarded as one of the best "politi-
cal mixers I'm the Republican ranks OF
the State, His record is as clean as his
linen. and that is always immaculate.
He has the happy faculty of terrapin-
| ing or beef-stewing it with equal ease,
| and makes friends faster than the
Tigers make runs. Lewis's friends are
sanguine that he will receive the nomi-
nation.
Frelinghuysen Losing Ground.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen's chances were
better before the Legislature convened
than they are now. True, his home is
in the State of New Jersey, but he
spends most of his time in New York,
where he is engaged in business. He is
essentially a New Yorker, and the best
classification that can be given him is
that he is "commuter who occasional
ly commutes" His interests are more
metropolitan than those of any of the
candidates thus far mentioned. His
strongest claim for the nomination is
that he is the possessor of million or
two His attitude toward the Edge
auto bill, it is said, had much to do
with diminishing his gubernatorial
chances.
The Wakelee boom is not considered
seriously except in Wakelee's own
county. The Bergen county Republican
committee has planned for the banquet
at the Hotel Astor for next Saturday
night The guests of honor VIII be
Senator Wakelee and the Bergen coun-
ty assemblymen. Invitations have been
extended to Governor Fort and to
United States Senators Kean and
Briggs. Who the principal orator will
he has not as yet been decided upon,
but II will be somebody friendly to the
Wakelee gubernatorial boom.
Wakelee's persistency to get into the
gubernatorial race is amusing. His
legislative record is one that does not
entitle him, to any special pedestal in
the Hall of Fame, politically speaking.
unless he is listed as the protector of
corporate interests. His unusual friend
liness for the telephone trust is a
subject still fresh in the minds of
readers of this newspaper.
Like Senator Frelinghuysen, Senator
Wakelee is also regarded as a com
muter. Neither of these two candi
dates could possibly spare the time
from their New York city business that
is incumbent upon the governor of
New Jersey, and 1t is doubtful If their
boom will amount to anything.

CRAZED BY COMET WORRY
MAN CRUCIFIED HIMSELF.
ProspectOr Found With Feet and
Hand Nailed to Cross.

SAN RERNARDINO, Cal, May a.
While brooding over possible Ill effects
OF the comets visit, Paul Hammerton'
a sheepman and prospector, became in
sane and crucifled himself, according
to mining men who arrived here with
him yesterday.
Hammerton was found where he had
nailed his feet and one hand to a rude
cross which he had erected. Although
he was suffering intense agony, Ham
merton pleaded with his rescuers tc
let him remain in his spiked imprison-
ment.
Since the visit of comet A 1910 Ham

when he learned that the earth was
scheduled to pass through the tail OF
Halleys comet his mind gave way and
he believed that the end of the world
was at hand.

He reported his investigation to Gov
ernor John f. Fort, and, although the
lad is a ward of the New Jersey State
Board of Childrens Guarians, and
three applications have been made tc
get him into the Home for Feeble-mind-
ed Children at Vineland. without sus-
cess, it is expected Governor Fort will
use his executive influence to locate the
child there.
The lad Is a son of a man with an
Orange police record. The father was
! sent to the penitentiary for a year or
complaint of an agent for the Children's
Aid and Protective Society of the Or
anges four years ago, according to a
statement made by Overseer of the
Poor Gustave Kunz, of Orange, today
The family then became charges on the
city, and the mother, with the imbecile
child, was sent to the poor farm. The
father served his term in jail and de-
camped, and after the mother had
given birth to another child at the
Orange institution she was able tc
leave and cared for two children. leay-
ing the imbecile lad behind.
Mr.. Kunz, about Is months ago, had
the case taken up by the State Board
of Children's Guardians, and the So
ciety made several efforts to place the

stitution. Owing to the lads unpleas-
ant personal habits no one would keeI

Three applications, Mr. Kunz said to-
day, were made for the placing of the
child at Vineland, and thought the rou-
tine required as many reports to thu

plished toward locating the lad and he
was compelled to stay in the poorhouse

Mr.. Kimball's interest in the case
will likely end the red tape interfer-
ences with placing the child in a proper
place. The Orange authorities are
pleased to get rid of the unpleasant
job and Governor Forts assurance OF
interest was hailed by them with de-
light. According to the Orange officials
the boy was mischievous and delighted
| in tumbling the older women around
| the place in fun. He had run away
various times and was picked up by
| the police and his strange appetite for
impossibic things made it necessary t.
supervise the lad closely He was tied
to the post usually every day and in

| lad scarcely could talk, and knew but
few simple words.
Mr. Kimball had heard reports thai
the boy was being cruelty beaten By
some of the inmates of the institution
and on Saturday made an investiga-
ton, which resulted in the matter being
brought to the attention of the Gov
