HAPPENINGS AT THE
COUNTY SEAT
IN AUTO
CRASH NEAR
HIGHTSTOWN

Hightstown, Aug. ia large
automobile belonging to and being
driven by James H. Field, of Nights
town, collided with a carriage driven
by j. F. Baker, of that place, early
yesterday morning, and while Mr..
Baker and Miss Eva Williams, Of
New York, his companion, were
thrown out and the latter severely
injured, the carriage was completely
wrecked and the horse thrown upon
Its back and paralyzed to such an
extent that 1t will be necessary to
kill 1t. Mr.. Field was also thrown
from the car, but he and jeremiah
Brand and David Cole, the other &C.
cupants of the automobile, escaped
injury, but we're badly shaken up.
There was no light upon the car
r1age, and Mr.. Field did not notice
the turnout until his machine was
within a few feet of 1t.
Miss Williams was the most seri-
ously injured of the party, and at
the office of Drs. G. H. and G. M.
Franklin, where she was removed by
Mr.. Field In his car, two stitches
were required to close a cut over
her eye. Mr.. Baker had two fingers
badly lacerated.
Baker claims that the lights on
the auto were very dim and that he
had heard the machine approaching
and turned to one side of the road to
allow the party to pass.
Mr.. Baker, who is a brakeman on
the Pennsylvania railroad, hired a
team from r. D. Norton early in the
evening for the purpose of bringing
Miss Williams, who Is spending the
summer at the homo of John F.
Ewart, to this city. While the
couple were returning about 1
o'clock yesterday morning the acct
dent took place near the farm of
Charles Mason.
Mr.. Field was returning home
from Bordentown, and while he had
a light upon his car, the heavy mist
is said to have prevented his seeing
any great distance ahead. The fact
that there was no light upon the
carriage at all, kept him from MOTTO
ing 1t until his car was but a few
feet away. He Immediately applied
the brakes, but a moment later,
above the noise of the crash, he
heard the creams of a woman. Mr..
Field was powerless from fear and
fright for some time, but the other
occupants of the car succeeded In
getting out and went to the assist
ance of the couple who Occupied the
carriage.
The only damage done the auto
mobile was a broken lamp, while
the loss of the team Is estimated at
$3.50.

MARI TWAIN'S CLOTHES.

Relish For Personal Effect.
At the time of our first meeting
Mark Twain was wearing a sealskir
coat, with the fur out, in the salts
faction of a caprice or the love o.
strong effect which he was apt to in
dulge through life. Fields, the publish
er, was present.
I do not know what droIl comment
was In Fields mind with respect Il
this garment, but probably he fell
not to be brought to any Bostoniar
book in the judgment of his vivid
qualities. With his crest of dense rec
hair and the wide sweep OF his fam
ing mustache Clemens was not dis
cordantly clothed in that seafskin coat
which afterward, In spite of his owr
warmth in 1t. sent the cold chills
through me when ] once accompanied
1t down Broadway, and shared tht
immense publicity 1t won him.
Clemens had always a relish for per.
sonal effect, which expressed itself in
the white suit Of complete serge which
be wore in his last years and in the
Oxford gown which he put on fol
every possible occasion and said he
would like to wear all the time. That
was not vanity In him, but a keen feel
ing for costume which the severity of
u modern tailoring forbids men
though 1t iatters women to every ex.
ces In it.-W. D. Howells In Har.

4 CALLER ON
THE GOVERNOR

Sea Girt, Aug. 19:-Richard Won
Rrebs, whose sensational career fur
nished much material for the news
papers not so long ago, succeeded
in getting an audience with Gov
ernor ]. Franklin Fort at the sum-
mel capital yesterday afternoon. It
was his second attempt, he having
made two trips from Mountain, near
orange, for the purpose Of telling
his troubles to the governor.
Complained of Judge.
After leaving the summer capital,
Mr.. Won Krebs told a New Bruns-
WICK Times representative that the
governor had listened attentively to
him and had appeared surprised that
any official had ordered Won Krebs
to keep out of the state.
rs there any law by which | am
banished from the state?" Won
Krebs is said to have asked the gov
ernor.
Such an order is ~nonsensical;
you can stay In New Jersey as long
as you are law abiding" Governor
Fort Is reported to have answered.
Won Krebs declared hat the OBJ
ject of his audience with the gov
AOi was " iOuE6 d COlupldtub
against the treatment he had re-
ceived at the hands Of Middlesex
county officials. He told the gov
ernor, he said, that he had been I'M
justly arrested and held in jail here
for three months and had then been
sent to the State Hospital for In
sane at Trenton, where he had been
kept for fifteen months. He blames
Prosecutor Theodore B. Booraem,
who was judge at the time he was
arraigned for insanity, for his trou-
,bles. He told the governor that Mr..
Booraem had treated him outra-
geously and the governor defended
the Middlesex prosecutor. whom he
believes is a model official.
Former Prosecutor George Ber-
dine also came in for a seolding. he
having prosecuted Won Krebs.
Fort Suggested Silzer.
After Won Krebs had told his
story the governor advised him, he
says, to get a lawyer, a young, able,
honest lawyer.
HE told me that Senator Silzer
would be a good lawyer for me-"
said Won Krebs, thus showing that
the governor holds no hard feelings
against the Middlesex lawyer who
wants to land his Job, This sugges-
ton came after Won Krebs had said
that his farm and live stock had
been taken from him while he had
been held in the state asylum.
The suggestion TO tell 1t to a law
yer was not an entirely new one to
Won Krebs. He says that Chancellor
Pitney told him the same thing when
he called on the chancellor at Nor
ristown a couple of weeks ago and
told his story.
Put yourself in my place." said
Won Krebs. Would you sit quietly

Won Krebs says that he is a but

LATEST JEWS BY DIRECT WIRE
ARE RAISING
ARAB HORSES
IN NEW JERSEY

Red Bank, Aug. 19:-The old Gideon
& Daily farm at Holmdel, on which
some Of the greatest race horses Of the
country have been trained, is again
coming into prominence as one Of
the homes Of the best thoroughbreds
IN the country. The place has been
leased by Homer Davenport, a car
toonist of national reputation. He will
raise Morgan and Arabian horses, the
latter having been bought by him per-
sonally from natives of Arabia In the
deserts Of that country. He will also
breed pheasants and thoroughbred poul-
try. The farm is amply large to ac-
commodate other stock, and Mr.. Dav-
export may raise other animals and
birds if he takes the notion. He in
tended to breed Angora goats but he
does not think the Jersey climate is
suitable.
Among the men employed on his place
ls Said Abdullab, a native of Arabia,
whose name translated means The
Happy Servant of God.' He gets his
name from his happy disposition. In
his native country he was a slave of
Sheik Achmet Haffez, the diplomatic
ruler of the Anezeh Bedouins, and he
was given to Mr.. Davenport by the
sheik. He is a devout Mohammedan,
and every morning he prays with his
face towards Mecca, the holy city, ac-
cording to the teachings of the prophet
Mohammed. He sometimes prays in a
field on a prayer rug. One morning
Mr.. Davenport found him praying in
a field in front of the fore feet of 1.-THE
Pride of the Desert" an Arabian horse
given to the cartoonist by the sheik.
From the horses neck hung the beads
of a wild Arabian tribe, and from the
desert saddle long flowing tassels sway
ed in the morning breeze. Said Alb
dullah goes about in the picturesque
garb Of his native land and he has
created a great deal of curiosity and
interest at Holmdel.

WAS VICTIM
OF A TRICK

New York, Aug. 19.-It is boldly as.
serted today that a band Of crafty
politicians resorted to a mean trick to
wrest from Colonel Theodore Roose-
velt the honor of acting as temporary
chairman at the Republican state con.
vention at Saratoga and to give the
prestige Of that distinction to Vice
President James s. Sherman. This
accusation is made by members Of the
Republican state committee who are
supporters of Colonel Roosevelt.
The assertion Is made by these
friends of Colonel Roosevelt that the
Woodruff : Barnes Ward Wadsworth
crowd had at a meeting held Monday,
the day preceding the committee meet
Ing, framed up a plan by the carrying
out Of which it would be made to ap-
pear that a majority Of the members
Of the state organization were In favor
of turning down Roosevelt. The
charge was made at the headquarters
Of the Republican county committee
that the result. Of the vote on Tuesday
at the meeting of the state committee
was due to methods which could only
be described as a bunko scheme.
1t seems from information which
was obtained at the county head
quarters that the old guard combina-
ton SEN out kilograms to several
members of the committee, members
who are thought to be allied with the
progressive faction, intimating tina the
only business to be transacted at the
meeting of the state body would be
the perfunctory business of fixing the
time and date of the state convention.
The result was that some Of the
Roosevelt committeeman stayed away,
while all the anti-Roosevelt men were
on hand.
The apparent determination of New
York politicians, supposed to be acting
at the suggestion Of Republican ma
tional leaders, to discredit Roosevelt
is expected to place the former presi-
dent at the head of the rebellious ele-
ment In the Republican party, with the
result that the demand will be made
for the nomination Of Roosevelt in
1912.
Beverly and Oyster Bay r today
the centers of national political inter
est. Great issues are being fought to
a finish and politicians everywhere are
keyed to a~high pitch while watching
the struggle for mastery. Although
the present situation was precipitated
by the action of the New York Repub-
lican state committee in refusing
Colonel Roosevelt the honor of the
Temporary craftsmanship at the coming
Saratoga convention, 1t is recognized
that the clash is not merely an Incl
dent of~New York state politics, but
an Illuminating fash, revealing the de-
termined struggle which has been 60
ing on for some time.
Politicians who have wondered what
was the purpose of the frequent visits
to President Taft Of Congressman
Nicholas Longworth. Colonel Roose-
velt's son-in-law, think that they have
an explanation in Longworth's an
nouncement of his opposition to the
reelection Of Uncle Joe Cannon as
speaker of the national house Of rep.
resentatives.
Colonel Roosevelt's delay and caution
is accepted by many as proof that the
former president has not closed his
eyes to the possibility Of clamor for
his nomination for the presidency to
succeed Taft.
