South Amboy, Sept. 12:-James

Specfa! by United Press Wire.
Spring Lake, Sept 12:-The
House Of Governors which opened
It's convention here today, is prao-
tically unanimous in the opinion
that inadequate divorce laws
and their lack of enforcement are
threatening the very foundation OF
American life. While the subject is
not on the program Of discussion
many state executives today express
ed themselves freely on the question
and it was thought highly probable
that the problem will be taken up
by the conference. One of the most
aggressive champions of divorce re
form is Governor Hay, Of Washing
ton
up to a certain point divorce is
all right, the evil Is in the laxity
with which divorces may be OBJ
tanned and the ease with which d.
vorced persons may remarry,' said
Hay. Existing conditions are as
travesty on Justice for man who
cannot do a certain thing in one
state can hop IN an automobile,
cross the state line, and do just
what the laws Of his own state for
bid ! believe there should be
minimum residence limit and a time
limit for remarrying.
Governor Burke, Of North Da-
kota, was strongly in favor of max
ing the residence limit five years
and a corresponding time limit for
remarriage. Governor Gilchrist, OF
Florida, agreed with these views.
Harmon Is Conspicuous.
One of the most conspicuous
figures at the conference is Cover
nor Harmon, of Ohio, a strong presi-
dental possibility. He, too, feels
strongly the need Of a uniform
divorce law and expressed himself
as hopeful for an immediate reform.
He said that one of the first things
the state should act upon is the eva
sion of one state regulation by going
into another commonwealth.

3 BADLY HURT
IN ACCIDENTS
At FACTORIES
Man Falls Into Vat of Steam
ing Solution at A. S. & R.
Plant Today.
FEAR HIS BURNS FATAL
Two Workmen Crushed Be-
tween Cars at Raritan Cop
per Works AT Hospital.

Two accidents which may result in
three deaths occurred in this city to-
day. Frank Gaiardina, thirty-two
years old, of ogden place, and
George Machine, twenty-nine years
old, of Greene street, are at city hos
pital with broken ribs, a broken arm,
and crushed bodies. Antoine Lem
husky forty years old, is at city hos
pital with a badly burned body. But
little hope is held for the recovery
OF any of the victims.
Falls Into Steaming Vat.
Antoine Lembusky was at work at
the plant of the American Smelling
& Refining Company at 1880 o'clock
this morning when his foot slipped
and he plunged feet first into a vat
holding a steaming copper solution.
BY the time his felloW-workers had
reached his side, Lembusky had re-
gained the edge of the vat and was
hurrying for the shower baths. DR..
William E. Ramsay was Immediately
called and ordered the man sent to
the city hospital.
AS far as can be learned Lembusky
is married and is about forty years
ed. He has worked for the A. S. &
~ 1oi tAO pdoL IuGlf0 VI lOuI loSn
years. According to the reports
from the hospital and DR.. Ramsay,
the mans life is endangered from
the burns he sustained and the fumes
he inhaled. The accident took place
in the copper department. No eye
witnesses of the accident can be
found, all men working in that de-
partment declaring they were not
aware of Lembuskys misfortune un-
til they heard his cries and saw him
crawling up the side of the vat.
Crushed at Copper Works.
Frank Gaiardina and George Ma
chine were a work at eight o'clock
this morning hand propelling freight
cars at the Raritan Copper Works
plant when they became wedged be-
tween the cars and loading platform
and sustained injuries which may
prove fatal. Both men had their
bodies crushed and Gaiardina sus-
tanned crushed ribs and Machine a
left arm.
According to eye witnesses, the
two men were not aware of the
proximity of the platform and
freight car. Willing hands pushed
the cars back again and attended the
suuertng uen until tho arrival of
DR.. William E. Ramsay, the COM
pany's physician. Both men are said
to be married and have been en-
ployed at the Raritan plant for some
time.

3 CANDIDATES
FOR ASSEMBLY
FAVOR WILSON
Democratic Organizations
Men Like His PoIicies--
Announce Stand Today.

Each Of the three candidates for
assembly nomination, backed by the
Democrat county committee have an
nounced their firm belief In the poll
cies of Governor Woodrow Wilson
and have publicly asserted that they
are Wilson men, first, last and all
the time" Their attitude on this
all important assembly subject was
announced by two of the candidates
today following the publication OF
an article in yesterdays EVENING
NEWS which stated the Middlesex
Democracy was for Governor Wilson.
A prominent New Brunswick Demo
crat Issued that statement.
AS Is generally known, August G.
Streitwolf, Of New Brunswick, who
is out for reelection on the Demo-
crat ticket, Is a Wilson man and IA
vored the governor during the last
legislature session. John P. Kirk
patrick, Of Jamesburg, and Jacob B.
Joselson, of this city, also stated to-
day that they are Wilson men and
can be counted upon to represent the
followers of the illustrious chief
of New Jersey.

with summer home at Jamesburg,
cheerfully replied that he WAS Will
son man you bet" He spoke high
ly Of his chances of winning on prim-
AIRY and election day and expects to
throw that section of the county to
his party.
Attorney Joselson, who has Offices
In State street, appeared very GER
tain of his attitude when seen today
and warmly Informed the reporter
that he could be counted upon to ia
vor Wilson measures If elected this
fall. Mr.. Joselson has long been an
admirer of the governor and express
ed himself as pleased that perhaps,
with success on election day, he will
be in a position to assist the states
chief magistrate in his campaign for
the presidential chair.
1t is the first time In some cleo
tions that either party has endorsed
three attorneys for assembly, as
have the Democrats this year. The
leaders figure, with state wide agita-
ton for Wilson reforms. that three
lawyers will make stronger trio
than any other combination that
could be effected.

Checks on Elizabeth Bank.
When the manager of the concern
inquired where she desired the new

said Fulton street, Woodbridge. !"
Opening her handbag she brought
forth a $40 check on the Citizens
National Bank Of Elizabeth. The
check was drawn by H. Cohen and
she signed herself NJ. Cohen, stat
ing she was the sister of the drawer
Of the check. AS the bill amounted
to $40, she was given $40 in change.
Leaving the Roth store she went
to Albert Sussmans store in State
street. Here as before she ran
sacked the place before purchasing
After half an hours deliberation she
placed an order amounting to s25
and ordered the goods sent to Full
ton street, Woodbridge For pay

the one given Roth, the amount this
| being $35. She received ten dollars
| change.
