NEGRO ENDS IN
BIG .SMASH-UP
Garage Employee Takes Friends
About Town Hurriedly in
Borrowed Car.

John ]. Fleming, a negro. early to-
day went to the Mountain Garage, IN
Frelinghuysen avenue, where he was
employed. and getting a Pierce-Hudson
car belonging to George e. Merrill, OF
~ Wright street, ran 1t through the
streets of Newark at top speed until
3 o'clock this morning, when he
crashed into truck at Lafayette and
Broad street, partially wrecklng the
big car.
When Flemming got the car he 81
once called on his many friends ano
invited them to take q ride. Like o
specter the big white car dashef
through Newark and the outskirts
Once the negro was halted by a First
pr ecinct policeman and old to drive
slower. As soon as he got out Of sight
of the policeman, however, he opened
the throttle again, and some who saw
him say Thai at times he made ashlgh
as fifty miles an hour.
At 3 o'clock this morning Flemmins
had only one friend in the car, and
was tearing up Broad street, when, at
a point just south of Lafayette street,
he ran into a truck. The machine was
lifted on the sidewalk, the axle. bent
like a hairpin. two of the front wheels
were torn off and the body of the car
was badly smashed. Flemming and
his companion escaped injury and de
serted the car.
Word was sent to the Mountain
Garage and a truck carted off the
machine. Merrill, who is State agent
for the Pierce car, has received a letter
from Flemming in which the latter said
that he would work out the cost OF
the damage. 1t is said that Flemming
is not a licensed chauffeur, and the
police are looking for him.
When seen today Mr.. Merrill said
IT am told that the MAJ was stopped
by a policeman and that no effort was
made to find out whether he carried g
license or not. ] also find that a po-
| liceman was at the scene of the acci-
dent and that he released the mar
after he heard history. I am going to
appeal to the Automobile Club about
this matter

ton Of bail in behalf of Sabine Accom-
ando, the Cutler street s~aloon-keeper
who is alleged by the prosecutors office
to be the ring-leader of a BLACK Hand"
gang that operated In Newark for sew
eral years.

the State would go ahead with the case.
but McDermit was insistent In his de-
mand for lower bail. Here are four
men in jail and one pm bail charged
with crimes ranging from robbery to
dynamiting homes. The prosecutors
office says we are delaying Justice.

ready

ONO DE MOCRATs
TO BOOM HARMON
FOR PRESIDENCY

DAYTON, O., June 21.-A plank car
rying a Presidential Endorsement for
Governor Harmon will be inserted in
the platform, which was laid before the
State Democratic convention which
opened here today.
This was definitely decided upon by
Democratic leaders, and Governor Har-
mon, although aware of their purpose,
has shown SO far no intention of op-
posing them. The Governor proposes
to confine his campaign for renomina-
ton to State issues, according to a
statement made by him last night, but
he has declined to discuss his Presi-
dental boom in any way.
Two issues of premier importance
have presented themselves to the dele
gates. The first is the attitude of
William Jennings Bryan, who has de-
clared himself for the Endorsement by
the convention of a candidate to sue
coed Senator Charles Dick. The second
is the nomination for Lieutenant-Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Bryan's point of view is being
supported by the followers of former
Mayor Tom L. Johnson. of Cleveland.
and the Cuyahoga county Cleveland
delegation. Governor Harmon and his
following are on the opposite side and
the general opinion is that they will
win.
AS far as the Gubernatorial nomina-
tion is concerned 1t is a foregone con
clusion that Governor Harmon will be
re~nominated and it is also considered
as settled that Attlee Pomerene. of
Canton. will be named as Lieutenant
Governor. although a fight is expected.
The fight on the senatorial indorse-
ment proposition began at 10 o'clock.
when the State central committee met.
Newton d. Baker, of Cleveland, holding
the proxy Of Tom L. Johnson, whose
state of health caused him to remain at
home. is leading in the contest for in
dorsement. Failing in the central com
mittee, Baker says he will take the
fight before the rules committee and de-
mand a place in the order of business
for the naming Of a Democratic candi-
date for Senator. From there he says
he win take the contest to the con-
vention door,

1t is tho initial game in the dual series,

commencement dates fell inside the
same week as Harvard's. In point of

breaker, for accommodations a to be
provided for upwards of $4,000, of whom
a third were members of reunion
classes.
For the first time. owing to the crowd,
the parade of the classes In huge
column from the campuses of the uni
versity to the ball field Is abandoned, but
the word has been given for all classes
to ALL into line on the field for the
march around which means an in
describable and bewildering mass of
wildly enthusiastic men executing
stunts of nondescript character. When
this is over the crowd will settle down
to watch the game which is likely to
begin about $3.50.
The Yale players are confident OF
winning. The batting order Of the
teams follows:

people will be the subject for further
exposures.
For ways that are dark and tricks
that are mean the telephone octopus
makes the heather Chinese tnke a rem
seat.
In order to show that the telephone
company was charging extortionate
rates from the people of New Jersey.
the STARS obtained the telephone
rates of nearly all the large citis in
the United States. This documentary
evidence was produced before the Leg
islature hearings at Trenton. The in
vestigstion reached such a startling
condition of telephone abuses that even
the legislators, who were accepting ia
vors from the trust, were compelled to
admit the corporations u~nfairness to
the public.
Lobbyists Got Busy.
Telephone lobbyists got busy. They
spent money freely at Trenton. and
pulled wires in every direction to try
to sidetrack the inquiry. The telephone
officials appeared before the Legislative
committee and tried to excuse their
prevailing excessive rates, and mem
bers of the State Senate went out OF
their way to aid the trusts. But pub
lie Indignation was so strong that Sem
ator Wakelee himself. the telephone
company's paid representative In a
merger deal, was forced to father q
public utilities. bill-the first that was
ever written upon the statute books of
this State.
Inv Effective july 4.
That law goes into effect July 4 and
gives the commission authority to fully
investigate all utilities in this State.
The people will now look for relief In
that body, and the STARS will aid
them in every possible way.
