til three consecutive doses are taken,
will end the Grippe n break up the
most severe cold, either in the head,
chest, back, stomach or limbs.

ness, head and nose stuffed up. fever
ishness, sneezing, sore throat, running
of the nose, mucous catarrhal dis
charges, soreness. stiffness and rheu-

DEAL" The complaint vas based on
the fact that A. e. Clute, n of the
Republican members Of the County
Board of Elections, had passed on the
validity of ballots according to his best
judgment, refusing to follow he lead
of counsel" and had done what he be-
lieved to be right, without regard to
how any of the rest of the members
of the board voted" Efforts were made,
to force Clute to vote nth his Republi-
can associate on thesboard. but they
proved unavaiEng. The recount was
resumed on Monday, with Justice voor-
hees presiding. Each day showed gains
for Low. C1ute has been a member OF
the county board for ten years and his
Judgment was considered good.
There has been so much concern
shown over the recount exposures that
people have asked who put up the
money for the recount" Another
pertinent question asked was why do
the Republicans want to put up such a
strong fight for one seat In the Senate,
when the Republicans now have a ma
jority in the Senate and the Democrats
have such q large margin on joint bal
LOTT" To oust Low and declare Mathis
elected would not aid the Republicans
in any way In the election of a United
States enator next month.
The returns on their face show that
the Senate stood twelve Republicans
and nine Democrats. If the Democrats
stood for giving rate-making power to
the Public Utilities Commission, aided
by one or two Republicans who have
30 expressed themselves, the measure
would pass. So would other legislation
OF the kind that the Republicans
blocked at the last session. For these
and other reasons 1t Is pointed out
that Mathis was a much-wanted man
in the place of Low.
Going further into the subject, the
seating of Mathis instead of Low Is
considered as necessary to the Repub-
licans in their attempt to re-
gain supremacy in the State
in the next two or three
years. Next year there are to be eight
State senators elected, one from each
Of the following counties: Essex, Cam
den, Gloucester, Monmouth, Salem.
Somerset, Union and Warren. Six of
these counties went Democratic this
year for governor and for members OF
Assembly. II Low keeps the Senate
seat the Democrats will have a good
chance to control the Senate in 1912.
A successor to United States Senator
Briggs Is to be chosen In 1913. The
senators who take their seats next
month will have the pleasure of voting
for a successor to Senator Briggs. rs
1t any wonder, therefore, that the
Ocean county recount ~occasioned such
deep concern" is a question that is
being asked right and left. Stakes OF
national dimensions are being played
for in the Ocean county situation. and
it is certain that the Low people will
fight to the bitter end to upset the
attempted steal in Ocean county.

and Low with 26o, giving the latter q
plurality of 46 votes in the district.
When the ballot-box was opened at
the court house at Toms River yester-
day the string was found to contain
only 433 ballots, a loss of Al, or within
five of the total plurality in the dis
trict for the Democratic candidate for
State senator
A further glaring evidence of the
criminal manner in which the ballot
box in the second Lakewood district
was found in the condition of more
tina one-half of the ballots found on
what is known as the top of the
string"
The String is that feature of the
system of counting the ballots cast on
which the official envelope with the
ballot enclosed is placed after being
numbered from one to the total num-
Der polled, the last ballots cast being
placed or what Is known as the top
of the string"

In the case of a recount the work
begins with number one or the bot
tom" of the string. AT the work of
recounting the second Lakewood dis
trict yesterday there was nothing to
indicate a change in the result declared
by the district board until more than
a third of the ballots had been counted.
Up to that point all. or nearly all, of
the ballots indicated the vest-pocket
vote. They were folded and creased in
different ways, bore finger-marks in
many cases, and In almost every in

From that point on the change
amazed everyone interested in the re-
count. Right on to the end of the
count the ballots came off the string
in alternate punches of ten or fifteen for
Mathis, with one or two Intervening

the amazing difference of 121 votes, as
compared with h return of the dis

Ballots Folded Alike.
A more remarkable feature, and one
accepted as clearly indicating how the
box was tempered with, was that all
of these ballots were folded alike-had
the appearance of brand new ballots,

straight tickets, minus a single paster.
and with no erasures.
The men that comprised the election
district board are all old residents of
Lakewood n all we'll -known men,
and friends of theirs say that it was
impossible for them to make a mis-

as anything crooked was concerned
they were men that would not counte-

question, was the ballots tempered

son goes III Lakewood this morning

Low actually had and gave a plurality

That the result shown by the re-

GAVE
LIFE TO SAVE HER
FACTORY GIRLS

cutor Mott remarked to the jury: 81
guess that's the line. It's a hat and
coat proposition. Those who waited
to save them We're burned to death or
killed by jumping"
Captain Darcie Van Valkenburg. of
Engine Company No. 4, whose quarters
are directly across the street from the
scene of the fire, had a bad half hour
with Prosecutor Mott, who endeavored
to find out from the witness if, in his
opinion all hat possible could be done
to save lives was done at the fire.
The Captains Story.
Captain Van V~alAenburg seemed to
think that Prosecutor Mott was trying
to blame him and his company and re-
fused to commit himself for a long
time.
"As soon as Iheard there was a fire
in the building, l rushed across the
street and went to the third floor. l
saw at once that it was a big fire, and
ran to one of the High street windows
and yelled to my men to turn in an
alarm Then l saw a lot of girls on
that floor yelling and screaming, and l
pushed and showed them to the stair
way and told them to get out of the
building.
"All of a sudden the floor was
charged with dense smoke n ] com-
metnced to make my way to a window.
I ran across Superintendent McQuat,
of the Anchor Lamp Company, and as
sisted him to a window, where we
found a ladder and went down. l was
just about all in from smoke and for
a few minutes was unable to do any
thing"
Did Not Notice Door.
Mott, Captain Van Valkenburg said
hat he did not see the door leading to
the fourth 1oor and did not know
whether it was open OF shut. This
statement is in contradiction to that
Of Mr.. McOuat yesterday. The latter
stated that he and Captain a Val
kenburg both pounded and kicked on
the door in an effort to break it open
before making their own escape.
The fire captain testified that there
were twelve men in his company, but
that at the time of the fire only six,
including himself, We're on duty. One
man was on q vacation, two had the
day of, one was detailed for Chief
Astley's automobile and two were at
meals.
II was at this stage that Mr.. Mott
got the captains anger up. What
effort was made to save the girls on
the fourth fioor?' asked Mr.. Mott.
REALLY, I cannot answer that ques-

the windows at once, both on the High
street side and in the rear. I went to
a window in the middle of the High
street side of the building. I saw a
ladder that reached about half way
between the second and third floors.
81 went back to the stairway and
"a it was filled with smoke and flame
and THAI escape was impossible hat
way. l decided to jump for the lad
der.
ION my way to the window 1 saw
Mildred Wolter, of IL Columbia street,
whom I knew. l picked her UP and
showed her out of the window. I point
ed out the ladder to her and told her
to grab it when I dropped her. She
was hysterical and missed the ladder
and was killed.
Then 1 dropped and managed to
catch the ladder and slide down
safely"
William . J. Bahr, secretary of the
Newark Paper Box Company, was the
next witness called. His testimony
brought out the startling fact that ex-
actly twenty minutes after the first
alarm had been turned in Bahr was
using the telephone to New York and

ordered out of the building by the
1remen.
Struggling to Escape
Bahr told of how after he had seen
that the sixty employees of his COM
pany were out of the building he
looked up the rear fire-escape and saw
the Wolf Company girls struggling to
get out and fighting each other.
Then what did you do?" asked Mr..
Mott.
81 called up u New York Office on
the phone and told them that there
was a fire in the building, but 1 did no
think 1t amounted to much.
Then 1 put the books in the safe
and took another look out of the real
window and saw the girls still strug-
Cling to get down the fire-escape.
II saw the fire was going to be g
bad one and 1 again called up the
New York Office. Just as 1 finished
talking I was ordered out Of the build
ing by the firemen. / think l was the
last person to leave the building. The

Superintendent of Fire Alarm Adam
Bosch then told Of the alarms sent III
for the FIRE. According to his record
the first alarm came in at 1926 a. m
AT 1929 a telephone call came from
Engine Company NC. 4 for a specia
truck, at 1882 a second alarm was SEN
in, followed at 9:4S by a third alarm.
1t was after this testimony that II
developed that Secretary Bahr, of the
Newark Paper Box Company, had beer
in the burning building for twenty min.
utes after the fire started.

ERRAND BOY BIDS
MOTHER GOOO-BY
AND TRIES SUICIDE
Goes to Factory and Tries to
Drink ACid-WOrkmen
Stop Him.

You won't see me again. mother, ;
said Isaac Kaufman, II years old, when
he left home this morning to go to
the M. Metz hat mandatory at 40
Vesey street. where he is employed as
errand boy. An hour later while in
the packing room of the factory, where
his father. David, is also employed. he
attempted to drink murfatic acid.
Workmen who were near dashed the
bottle from his hands, and he was
only burned about the lips. He was
taken to the City Hospital and later
pentent.
The boy lives with his parents and
six brothers and sisters at 159 Peshine
avenue. He is of a morose disposition,
and last night seemed moodier than
ever. When he came home from work
he rebuked his little sister Fanny for
singing in the house. The little SRI
cried and went to her mother. WHO in
turn reprimanded Isaac for speaking
harshly to his sister. The boy felt MS
repuke keenly. and. although supper
was prepared for him, he refused to
eat. MOI would he eat this morning,
but left the house limiting he intended
taking his life.
Bids Mother Farewell.
When the boy babe his mother good
bye, saying she would not see him
again, the parent took his remark
lightly and admonished him not to
speak so foolishly. Without another
word he left the house. He appeared
at the office where he is employed as
an errand boy as usual.
Somehow he got possession of a bot
tie of muriatic, plainly marked
poison which is kept in the office
for cleaning brass. When he attempt
ed to swallow the acid it burned his
lips and tongue and he cried I'M
pain. 1t was to this fact that he owes
his life. for workmen who were. near
heard his screams and took ths bottle
and administered an emetic.
although this was later found to be
unnecessary, as non of the poison lad

replied the captain, flor l was
in the building myself at the time the
girls were coming down the fire-escape
and jumping from the fourth floor. All
| know is what | have been told
"Well, who knows what your men did
to rescue the girls"
Lieutenant William Todd and Engi-
neer Arthur Van Houten,9 was the
reply. IT have been told that my men
were upon the ire-escapes helping the
girls to the ground. 1 saw none of this
myself, as it was all oyer before l got
out of the building
Isn't the Newark fire department
equipped for l~ife-saving ~purposes?' was
Mr.. Motifs next question.
Yves, sir said Van Valkenburg,
proudly; "the Newark department is
as well equipped as any in the country,
and I believe all the men did every
thing in their power to save those
girls
Captain Van Valkenburg explained
that the reason the life nets broke was
that four or five girls were jumping
into them at once and that the nets
would not stand the strain. Questioned
by Mr.. Mott as to why horse blankets
were not used when the nets broke,
Captain Van Valkenburg said that it
had probably not been thought of.
Spurred by Mr.. Mott, Captain Van
Valkenburg said that If he had been
on the scene instead of In the building
he would probably have thought Of the
use of horse blankets.
First Fireman in Building.
Fireman Oscar Brown, of Engine
Company No. 4, the first man in the
building, described how he grabbed a
fire extinguisher and rushed to the
third floor, only to find that the fire had
gained such Roadway hat the extin-
guisher was useless. Then he told of
efforts to break down the doors leading
to the fourth floor, but was unable to
do so. In this connection another mix
up between witnesses was apparent, as
Engineer Paddock, earlier in the day,
had testified that he, in company with
Brown, had found hat IGOR open and
had gone to the fourth floor. Brown
said that at no time had he found the
door open, nor had he at any time been
on the fourth floor.
The testimony of Engineer Paddock
was as vivid as that which Eugene Nc
Quat rave yesterday.
THE first I knew OF the fire vas when
Louis Meisner. shipping clerk at the
Anchor Light Company. came running
downstairs after a pail of sand. We
have a fire upstairs!' yelled Meisner as
he grabbed a pail of sand.
IAN instant later two girls got two
more pals of sand and then I hustled
upstairs. I looked up the stairway and
could see a lot Of smoke, but no fire.
RIMS Into Blazing Room.
II kept on upstairs and when l
reached the third floor I saw that the
Anchor Lamp Company plant was al

Smoke was very dense, but l kept on
up to the fourth floor"
Did you notice the condition of
the door at the foot of the stairway
leading to the fourth foor?". asked
Prosecutor Mott.

1T was open and was hooked back 50
that 1t could not slam shut"
You are positive about that?" asked
Mr.. Mott.

Continuing, Paddock told of how he
kept on to the fourth loor and found
the girls in a panic.
