SCENTS A SCANDAL IN
STATE HOME FOR GIRLS

Trenton, Aug. 5:-Developments
in the affairs Of the State Home for
Girls, in this city, recently brought
to the attention of Governor Fort,
have prompted the executive to
make a preliminary Sitting into the
matter with a view to a more for
NAL investigation of all the acairs
of the home later.
1t is said that in addition to the
report made by State Auditor Drake,
showing Irregularities in the mat
ter of buying supplies for the home,
the governors attention has been
called to even greater improprieties
and Irregularities which may have
a o direct bearing upon the dis
clpllne and effectiveness of the
home, 1t has been intimated that a
recent quarrel in this city developed
some matters in connection with the
girls home of a scandalous nature.
Governor Fort said today that he
had not yet had an opportunity to
go over Auditor brakes report in
detail and was, therefore, not In a
position to say whether or not such
irregularities as it might disclose
were sufficiently serious to warrant
an official investigation. He was,
however, positive in his statement
that the other matters more recent
ly brought to his attention were suf-
f1ciently grave to warrant him TAX
ing action at once

Atlantic Highlands, Aug. S.
While signaling for help when the
engine of his little launch, the Ed

Harry Boyle, employed by Frank
Cooper, a grocer, of 200 Fifty-sixth
street, Brooklyn, vas hurled into
the water and the launch smashed
by the bow of the Sandy Hook, of

The Edith is owned bys Frank
Cooper, whose grocery store is near
the Brooklyn water front. His
trade is largely with ships lying in
the bay and he uses the Edith as a
delivery boat. He sem Boyle with
groceries yesterday up the North

running between the Statue of Lib

some trouble with the engine.
The tide carried him perilousIy

the approach of the speedy Sandy

glancing blow. Boyle was thrown
into the water but managed to get
back into the launch.
The Sandy Hook continued to-

that the captain did not know that
his ship had struck the Edith. When

MARTIN AFTER
DELEGATES IN
SOUTH JERSEY
Especial Correspondence

Trenton, Aug. 5:-William P.
Martin, the choice of the progress
sive republicans for the ~g1bernato-
rial nomination by their party, and
only aspirant FOR the honor who has
frankly avowed himself a candidate,
all the others apparently resting con-
tent to be Gin the hands Of friends.
is vigorously seeking aid in South
Jersey counties, a section o the state
that has heretofore frownea on all
efforts to rally support in opposition
10 the regular" leadership Of Da-
vid Baird. ~
Accompanied by George l.. Rec
ord, of Jersey City, and La4!trop An
derson, of Newark, Mr.. Martin has
recently made several trips into Bur-
iington, Camden and Gloucester
counties, where they have had quiet
conferences with republicans of pro-
pressive tendencies whom they are
anxious to induce to come out IN the
open in favor CT the later for The
gubernatorial nomination. Mr.. Mar
tin also expects to rally some sup
port in Mercer county.
Speaking of the situation as he
finds it in South Jersey, Mr. Martin
frankly admits that it is an uphill
job to find republicans who are Will
ing to come out~and stand against
the edicts of David Baird. Never
theless, the pTogressiyes hope to
capture a delegate4~to the state con-
ventioR here and there in South Jer-
sey. In fact. Martin and Record are
just now putting inesome hard work
outside of Essex and Hudson, where
the New Ideas" faction Is admitted
ly strong enough to give the "regu-.
lars" q close call for supremacy in
the primaries. For two weeks pre-
vious to the primaries which will
take place September 13, Mr.. Martin
will plead his own candidacy before
the republican voters from the pub
lie platform in all parts of the state.
What ever may be the outcome OF
the state convention with reference
to the gubernatorial candidate, the
progressive leaders expect at least
to have a sufficient following TO force
the adoption of a platform exploiting
a large degree their views of po-
litical policies.

he was Interested In III McMurray
contracts. Then he mentioned the
name Of an official very high up In the
government. And when expressed
establishment Hamon said: Well. you
know there is a lot of money In this
thing. II you say the word I will
arrange for the $4,000. There will be
no checks In this deal and no marked
money. 1t will be all new, clean
money Hamon said: There's a lot
OF money tied up in this deal and a
big fee for somebody
@He then explained he wanted me to
withdraw my bill, or at least have 1t
reported unfavorably. 1t seems he did
not know 1t had already been reported
favorably."
Senator Gore declared that Hamon
first offered $4,000 and then said the
amount might be raised to $4,000.
The land involved includes $500
acres In the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations. and according to the geolog-
tcal survey the mineral deposits there
in are worth $160, 600.
J. f. McAurray, an attorney Of Nc
Alester. Okla, announced through his
counsel that he would contend that
the contracts were valid without the
sanction of congress, and that he was
unaware of any bribery having been
offered In their connection.
1t is the purpose of the committee,
according to Congressman Charles III.
Burke Of South Dakota, the chairman
to visit various parts of Oklahoma t.
secure evidence bearing on Senator
Cores charges.
What is considered the most valu
able testimony to Gore was that of
Congressman Creager of the Third
Oklahoma district. Cresger said he
had been approached on various occa
sions and urged to support the Nc
Murray contracts. On one occasion he
had been invited to the room in the
Occidental hotel occupied by both
Hamon and Bird Mcclure; that
Hamon had told him Ii he would with
draw his opposition he could arrange
it so Creager could have an Interest"
In the contracts.

and they are even distributing arms
among the people.
In order to keep down the size of
the crowd which threatens to pour
into San Sebastian, the government
has Communicated the trains and
steamboats, which the demonstrators
had expected to use for the occasion.
This will, of course. prevent the at
tendance of many who had hoped to
60 from Bilbao and other points. 1t
Is said that the government will use
the conyeyanees thus seized to carry
troops to San Sebastian 1t is added
that the soldiers have been ordered to
take ball cartridges and have been In
strueted not to hesitate to use them
If the occasion arises.
Naturally the seizure Of the trains
and boats will greatly hamper the
CIerfcals, but they are hiring every
available automobile and other vehicle
that they can lay their hands upon.
Thousands have made up their minds
to walk If necessary.
A fresh complication arose when 1t
became known that the Republicans
were planning a counter demonstra-
ton for Sunday.
Prime Minister Canalejas received q
delegation Of Clericals and urged that
they postpone the proposed demonstra-
ton at San Sebastian until after the
existing strike at Bilboa, but his vlsl
tors insisted that this was impossible
at this late hour, as all the arrange
ments had been made. They chung to
their purpose ever when told that if
they wait they could hold their dem.
onstration without government inter
ference. They added that they could
10 stop the crowd, as the movement
had gained such great strength.
1t Is said that all the Basque prov
inces will participate, and that some
of the, richest men in Spain have
promised money In unlimited amounts
to defray the expenses. More than 200
private yachts have been placed at the
disposal of the people and other craft
will be sent to carry all who wish to
go to San Sebastian.
The government has learned that a
priest Ia one of the Basque villages

An investigation has begun and troops
