STATE WANTS
The EVIDENCE
jurymen In M'Namara Trial
Must Have Facts.
gpeclal bu Unissd Press Wsrs.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 3:-Un-
less the state secures POSSESSION of
the entire alleged evidence secured
in the raid on the offices of the
1ronworkers Union, at Indianapolis,
the case here against the Mcnamara
brothers will be greatly endangered.
1t leaked ou today that during the
past forty-eight hours many tele-
grams have been sent by District
Attorney Fredericks to his represen-
tatives in Indianapolis urging them to
do everything possible to get this
evidence. This is due to the fact
that there are now in the jury box
here eight men who absolutely de-
clare they cannot convict under cir
cumstanoial evidence alone. Detec-
tives also report that this belief is
entertained by majority of the men
liable for jury duty in this county.
When court reeonvened today
there were ten men in the box It
is almost certainty that eight of
these will be taken out on premptory
challenges.

BANKS ON ASSEMBLYMEN
Says March for Surrogate
and Hanson for Sheriff
Will Run Well
BANKS ON ASSEMBL YMEN

Chairman John Pfeiffer, of this
city, of the Republican County Com
mittee, said today he expects his
party to elect at least seven candi-
dates on election day, including the
following: Alfred 8. March, for
surrogate; John r. Ten Brock, Ar
thur v. Schenck, and Rene P. F.
Won Minden, for assembly; William
c. Wilson, William 8. Dey and
James q. Bennett. for freeholders.
He wishes 1t understood his state
ment to the effect OF the foregoing

he sees no reason why the Republic

en- masse on next Tuesday.
Banks on Assembly Ticket.
According to the Republican
chairman, the assembly ticket and
surrogate candidate will run strong
or for the G. o. P. than any other
candidates of either party. He ex-
poets Mr.. March, who 10 from New

will also make a brilliant showing
on election day, Mr.. Pfeiffer states.
The strength of the assembly can
didates and Mr.. March he attributes
to the general campaign made by the
trio and the hard work put into his
efforts of the last month by Candi-
date March.
Coming to the Republican candf-
dates for freeholder, Mr. Pfeiffer
calls attention to Mr.. Dey's record
while on the board the past two
years and Mr.. Benefits strength in
the Cranbury section OF the county.
The districts down that way have
given big majorities for the g. o. P.
candidates for many years and the
Republican chairman figures 1t will
go just as solid for Mr.. Bennett next
Tuesday as the south is expected to
go for Governor Woodrow Wilson

Thinks Wilson VIII Win.
There is nothing to it. either, but

throughout the county. They have
expressed themselves solid for their

of the house.
On the other hand, of course the
Democrats concede not single office

said.

JOSEPH KLEIN
LOCATED, DEAD
Man Who Disappeared From
This City Last May Died
in Newark.
BODY IN POTTER'S FIELD
Wife Has Searched for Him
INCREASINGLY Since BODY
Is Exhumed.

Joseph Klein, formerly proprietor
of a mems furnishing store at 651
Cortlandt street, has been found
dead and his remains buried in Pot
ter's field In Newark Thus the
unaccounted for disappearance from
this city last May has been cleared.
The body has been exhumed and
positively identified as that of Klein.
Arrangements are under way to
have 1t sent to this city and buried
by relatives.
Klein disappeared suddenly from
this city on May 25, last. May 27
he became very LII at the Market
street station OF the Pennsylvania
railroad in Newark and was removed
to the Newark General Hospital,
where he died ON May 81. He never
told his attendants where he lived
because of his illness, but he gave
his name as Joseph Klein and his
age as ffty-three years. He did say
he lived with man named Meyers.
1t has been found Meyers was a man
in charge of some sanitarium near
Caldwell, where Klein had been
staying for rscuperation.
Klein had been in i'll health for
the past year or more. He had been
in the habit of leaving the city with
out notice to relatives to go to some
sanitarium or health resort. His
wife, Sarah, has been constantly
conducting a search for him since
his disappearance up until yester-
day. She always believed he had
left on June 1. and when inquiry
was made at hospital, morgues and
other places officials seldom looked
back further than that date In their
records. That was probably the
reason why his death was not known
here before this.

AS these outbreaks carry the re-

The complete destruction Of the Man

Not content with shearing the nobility
of power, the league has determined
to utilize the opportunity TO deprive the
Manchus OF all the long established
privileges which marked them the rul.
ing class.
Additional concessions wrung from
the throne include the cutting off of
the cue, the ancient badge of loyalty to
the Manchu dynasty; the disbandment
Of the Eight Banners" the old Man
chu military organization, long useless
save on the pension rolls; that the
Manchus be compelled to adopt Chi
nese surnames, thus being completely
absorbed into the Chinese population,
and that the pensions paid to all the
Manchu families be abolished.
Since the establishment of the dy.
nasty every Manchu from birth has
drawn a monthly stipend from the gov
ernment. Often through fraud this
was received by families for members
long dead. This pensioning scheme was
bitterly resented by the Chinese and
was one of the fundamental causes of
the war.
Yuan Shih Kai advises that he has
ordered an armistice at Hankow, and
