FAULTY FIRE ALARM
DELAYS COMPANIES

Failure of the fire bell to proper
ly sound the taps of box rs this
morning shortly before $50 o'clock,
caused a delay OF few minutes on
the part Of the fremen in reaching
a slight blaze at 277 Elm street.
Following a small fire Saturday
night, the bell refused to work, and
last night the o'clock taps did not
sound Employees of the Public
Service Corporation are now repair
ing the sounding apparatus.
A blast of the fire whistle, two
rings of the bell, followed several
seconds later by another tap, carried
the information that an alarm had
been turned In, but from what box
IL was not known. Fire Chief An
derson, who was at State and Fay
cite streets when the t1re whistle
blew and the bell began its faulty
sounding, was compelled to turn
about and drive his horse to Pro-
lection Hook and Ladder Company 8
headquarters. There a glance at the
indicator informed him that the
mixture of whistle and bell WAS
meant for the taps of box 25.
The blaze, which amounted to the
loss of sheet and other bed clothes,
was in the home of Mrs. John Cal
low. A bed dragged across the
floor struck several matches,
which ignited the sheet. A pail of
water extinguished It,
Saturday night. George Miller, of
Washington street, at the request of
Elizabeth Dorian, turned In an
alarm from box "a, at Lehigh avenue
and Stanford street The woman
believed she scented smoke issuing
from her apartments in Prospect
street, and caused the alarm to be
rung. The firemen say the smoke
was but imaginary.

MURPHY TALKS
TO THE VOTERS
OF THE STATE
Tells Jerseymen That Tariff
is Best Ever--No Mention
of Governor.
EVEN THE LEGISLATURE
Is IGNORED

Newark, July 11:-Former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy, chairman of
the republican State Committee, on
behalf of the committee, makes pub
Tic today the subjoined address to
the people of New Jersey. Chairman
Murphy was delegated to prepare
this address at the recent meeting Of
the state committee held in this city.
Mr.. Murphy praises without stint
the work of the congress that has
just adjourned The Payne-Aldrich
tariff, which has been the target of
SO much condemnation throughout
the land, is not discussed at length
The state chairman contents himself
with quoting the words of President
Taft that ut is the best tariff bill
ever passed" and with mentioning
the fact that tariff board has been
given power to investigate the cost
between the production of dutiable
goods here and abroad. On the
tariff, however, Mr.. Murphy prom
ises more later. This would indicate
that another official letter will be is
sued dealing particularly with that
subject.
Concerning conservation, Mr..
Murphy says that better laws have
been made for that purpose than
were ever thought of. Their Is not
word in the address refer, Ing to
state affairs or to the governor, the
state administration or the state
legislature.
Here is the statement in full:
ITO the People of New Jersey:

executive committee of the Republi-
can State Committee to call your

ION a North River ferryboat a
little while ago the attention OF all
the passengers was drawn to the
magnificent Mauretania, with its
thousands of tons of cargo, and with
people enough for a good-sized coun-
try town, as it sped through the
waters almost as silently as the sea-
gulls about 1t foated through the
air, l thought of President Taft-of
his quiet, gigantic, resistless power,
as he is moving smoothly on with
his great burden of national prob
lens.
He started out to get things, to
have laws made, to fulfill republican
promises, to meet the public de-
mands, and in this great work he
must reconcile factions and get peo-
ple's heads together without knock
ing-must hold irresistibly to his
own safe course and draw in the ex-
ttremists from every direction and
persuade them to work together
with him.
abraham Lincoln is the only
other statesman this country has
produced with Taft's power of har-
Messing wild horses into a steady
and vigorous team. Taft found the
republican congress badly divided
against itself, and he remembered
Lincolns warning that a house
divided against itself cannot stand,
Quietly, pleasantly, gracefully, un-
swervingly, he has held on his
course, and has Influenced all fac

dropped prostrate on the city's prin-
cipal streets. Unlike the spring, fall

food of shoppers up and down the
principal thoroughfares. Everywhere
people sought shelter and drinking
places of every kind did more busi-
ness than usual. Yesterday the
weather was again sweltering and
many did not venture out. Those
who did sought shady hooks, went
bathing or fishing .
The sun came up as hot as usual
this morning, but towards o'clock

Ing to help matters some. At 8
o'clock the mercury had reached
eighty degrees, and at 9 1t was
eighty-two, indicating that it was
crawling upward.

him into neighboring house, where
