BECAME LOST
IN BIG WOODS
Harold Powers and Com
panion Found by Searcllers

According to.a story appearing In
this mornings New York American
w. Harold Powers, of Red Bank, a
former resident Of Tottenyille, had
an exciting experience when he, with
a companion OF New York, became
lost In the woods while hunting on
Twitchell mountain, six miles from
Big Moose, New York. The story Is
as follows;
Big Moose, N. Y Oct. 14:=W.
Harold Powers, of Red Bank,N. j.,
and John II. Kelsey, an automobile
dealer. of No. 116 Broad street, New
York, was found in Twiteheil noun
tain, six miles from here yesterday,
after having been lost In the woods
all night. Both young men were ex-
hausted from cold, lack OF food and
the experience they had been
through.
They were found by a rescuing
party IN which we're Postmaster w.
E. Covey and John Dennis.
Powers Is a SON of William Pow
ers, of No. 258 Riverside Drive, New
York. Mr.. Kelsey resides In Queens.
With him here are his wife and son,
Chester. eight years old.
In company with Elmer W Hodg-
son, of the New York Stock Ex-
change, Powers and Kelsey started
after deer Thursday. They struck
a trail, and on TwitchelI Mountain
separated, to meet In a few hours
AT 5 O'Clock Kelsey and Powers met.
They heard shots to the rear and
thought 1T was Hodgsons Hodgson
arrival here after dark and said he
had missed the pair.
They missed the road and wan
dered about all night. For hours
they were lost in a bog, and while
crossing a lake ON a log bridge Mr..
Kelsey fell in. He was rescued by
Powers Guided by the stars,
they headed toward Big Moose, and
yesterday morning were rewarded
by hearing the searching party hr-
ing.

PLANT
SHADE TREES
Commission Says Many Die
from Unknown Cause.

A number of shade trees may pc
planted about the city this fail *
the Shade Tree Commission can pro-
cure sufficient funds for the purpose
The members of this commission
have noticed and discussed tie tact
that shade trees and vegetation IN
general all over the city is affected
from an unknown cause. In many
cases trees and grass have been
found dying. Commissioners j. y.
.Donehue and Matt Weirup met
Thursday night and talked the sub
ject over. They decided that a NUM-
Der OF shade trees about the city
should be cut down while a large
number were In need Of trimming
OF dead branches. A gang OF men
recently engaged for this work was
discharged for incompetency and the
commissioners have since been
searching for a few good workers.
Al commissioner said the death of
trees and other vegetation might re-
suit from Injurious gases in air from
local factories. His belief seems to
be supported by the fact that a great
number Of trees on Buckingham
avenue and on side streets there
abouts are dead or dying, probably
from fumes emitted from the chem
ical works In that vicinity.
The Shade Tree Commission has
intentions OF cutting down and re-
moving most dead shade trees and
plant a number of new ones this
fall. Al competent gang Of work
men will be hired for the purpose
and until satisfactory men are Sc
cured the work will remain at a
standstilI. Mr.. Donehue says a man
who understands tree culture, an
old man who has little to do, and
two husky young men are what is
wanted. The former would be en-.
gagged as foreman and would do no
manual labor, but simply supervise
the work done by the younger men.

Springfield Republican Believes

The Democratic party is facing the
best opportunity it has had since

national government 1t now has a
majority in the house, nearly a ma
iority in the senate, and splendid
opportunity to win the presidency
next year. 1t all depends, however
on the nominee. Should the wrong
man be selected the opportunity
would be thrown away says the At
lanta Georgian.
The Georgian believes that at
present there is no man within the
party so strong as Woodrow Wilson,
former Georgian, now governor Of
New Jersey His political career
has been brief but brilIiaps. If in
the next twelve months he main
