CRAZY MAN TERRORIZES
AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD

Word was received at police heat
quarters about noon today that an in
sane man was terrorizing the neigh
borhood in the vicinity of Bank and
Wickliffe streets. The greatest excite
ment prevailed in the street, which was
quickly deserted save for the strange
acting man who shouted and gesticu-
lated while he raced wildly about from
house to house.
People who saw him say that the
man was not intoxicated, but was
plainly insane and residents in the
~neighborhood barred their doors and
took to the upper floors. Meanwhile
word had been sent to he Fourth Pre-
cinct and the patrol wagon and a
squad of men vas sent to the scene.
When they arrived the man had dis
appeared, and the people in the neigh
borhood were too frightened to follow
him and see where he went. The po-
lice were instructed to keep a sharp
lookout for the man and to Immediate
ly follow up n report regarding his
appearance.

Is one of the foul inmates that escaped
from Morris Plains asylum yesterday,
but the police do not place much faith
in this theory and think the man be-
longs in tho neighborhood and became
suddenly demented.

KING MENEL|K OF
ABYSS|NIA DEAD;
BOY TAKES THRONE
Continued from First Pase.)

'Conquering Lion OF the Tribe of Juda,
Elect of the Saviour, King of Kings of
Ethiopia" He was the son of the king
of Shoa, but was captured In his youth
by the governor of Kondar. who had
usurped the throne under the title of
Theodore III.
Menelik made war on Theodore and
his successor, the Emperor Johannes.
He finally married his daughter to
Ras Area, the emperor's son. and was
tacitly acknowledged heir to the throne.
Ras Area died, Johannes was killed in
battle and Menelik became negus of
Abyssinia. He refused to acknowledge
the domination of Italy over his coun-
try and compelled the Italian army to
capitulate at Adowa in 1896, when a
treaty was signed recognizing the alb
solute independence of Abyssinia. Since
peace has crowned Menelik's pol
icy toward foreign powers and the
country has prospered with the intro
duction of improved methods of gov
eminent and commerce.

AS JUDGE
" POLITICAL N

is said, to eliminate the Governor from
New Jersey politics.
Speaking of the Fort possibility to-
day, a State politician said;
1.-The idea of the Fort candidacy to
bring about his elimination from New
Jersey politics is all p~oppycock. The
Governor. by his own indiseretions, has
eliminated himself from politics. Mo-
body regards his political strength with
any apprehension. His power has been
on the wane. and his influence is $ o
weak that the leaders have no longer
any fear. The thought that he
is likely to cut any figure in the
race for United States senator Is equal
" as foolish. Governor Fort is not a
formidable candidate for the seat in the
Senate soon to be vacated by John
Kean. II he was, there might be some
reason for the leaders to want to
urge his candidacy for the Supreme
Court bench.
"No, there is nothing at all serious
in the suggestion that Governor Forts
name will be urged for the seat vacated
by the death of Justice Brewer. It's
all nonsense. The Governor will retire
from public life at the expiration of his
present term"

MAN OVERCOME BY
SEWER GAS SAVED
WITH A HAYH00k
Victim Revived at Hospital After
Being Taken Unconscious
from CesspO0l.

Found lying at the bottom of a cess
pool overcome by sewer gas, Fritz
Dauber, of 5s1 South Seventeenth
street. was taken to st. Michael's Hos
pital this morning in an unconscious
condition.
Dauber and two other men were en-
gagged in cleaning a cesspool at IL
Crane street, when Dauber, who was
inside the hole, was suddenly over
come by the gas. His helpers became
frightened and ran away without at
tempting to aid him, it is said. John
Snyder, II High street, and Patrick j.
Gaul, Sc Summer e who were
passing, saw the men run, and OF going
to investigate discovered Dauber lying
at the bottom of the c%esspool. Gaul
attempted to climb down to help the
unconscious man, but his waist meas
urement vas too large to allow him to
enter through the narrow opening.
Snyder did not care to attempt the
feat, so they called to David Simpson,
81 Fourteenth street, who happened to
be passing. to give aid. Simpson re-
sponded and allowed himself to be low
cred into the hole on the end of a hay
hook. He, like Dauber, was immedi-
ately overcome, but being fastened to
the end of the hook was easily drawn
out and revived. After a little fish
ing by Roundsman Wright and Police
man Mosen. of the Second Precinct,
had arrived on the scene. Dauber
was hooked and drawn out.
An ambulance was summoned and he
was taken to the hospital, where it
was said he would recover.

county delegation In the House had
been deceived into voting for n of
the Pikaart bills. Mr.. Minard assured
the committee that the Essex dele

him to urge the Senate to kill the
measure.

asked the members of the cabinet to
talk frankly on the matter of assign
