TAFT ATTACKS
OPEN PRIMARY
Also Hits at Roosevelt in
Boston Speech.
gpeoial bu untted Press Wirs.


Boston, March 18:-Denouncing q
soap box presidential primary as an
"open avenue for fraud and vio-
lence," unless properly guarded by
legal regulation, President Taft to-
day gave his reasons for opposing a
primary unless ample legal macht-
merry is provided. The President
spoke to the general court of the
legislature of Massachusetts,. In dis
cussing the agitation for the recall
of judges and Of the recall OF judi
cial decisions, the President declared
1t is impossible for all the people to
take direct part in all the func-
tions of the government. He denied
the proposition that whatever Is
right is constitutional"
Many read direct attack on
Roosevelt In the concluding state
ments Of the President when, after
deploring the agitation against the
court and the constitution, he said:
irresponsible assaults upon either
in incorporate language or on base
less assumptions of corruption or
bias of incompetency made by those
whose statements add influence with
any part of the people, are serious
menace to jury government"
President Taft arrived in Boston
today and attended a joint celebra-
tion of Evacuation Day and st. Pat
rick's anniversary. Seven meals
and numerous meetings were sched-
uled. The President goes to New
Hampshire tomorrow.

is FRUSTRATED
IN The PULPIT
Rey. William Murphy Strick-
en- In Calvary M. E. Church,
keyport Yesterday.
CONDITION is SERIOUS
Falls Unconscious While
Reading Hymn -Congrega-
ton Alarmed Indigestion.
spsota, ov Unttea rress wire

bpecfGI 6D Ufan6G PTeSS Wsre
Keyport, Mar. Stricken sud-
denly with a serious attack of acute
indigestion, Rev. William Murphy,
of Pleasantville, fell PROSTATE yes
terday morning in the pulpit of the
Calvary M. e. church, where he was
acting as supply during the absence
of Pastor Rev. l. s. Yerks, who is
attending conference at Asbury
Park. Immediate aid was rendered
to the unconscious minister by many
prominent men and women of the
congregation and he was removed to
the residence of Mrs. Emma Black,
In Church street DR.. III. s. Cooley
WAS called, pronounced Rev. Mr..
Murphy's condition as most serious
and advised that every possible pre-
caution be taken to prevent a repe-
tition of the attack, which may
prove fatal.
Starts to Read Hymn.
The scene occurred shortly after
the church service had commenced,
previous to the delivery of the SER
mon. Rev. Mr. Murphy arose to an
nounce the number of hymn, and
to read the opening lines. Many in
the congregation seated in the front
pews noticed that the Clergyman 8
face was covered with an unnatural
pallor, and were alarmed to hear
his voice grow weaker and weaker,
until suddenly he fell backward DIS
without an exclamation. Calm was
restored throughout the congrega-
tion by older and wiser members of
the parish, who grasped the situa-
tion In praise worthy manner and,
undoubtedly, thus saved the beloved
minister's life. His immediate re-
moval to Mrs. Blacks residence and
subsequent aid from the physician
proved most beneficial.
Was Born in Keyport.
1t was learned today that Rev.
Mr. Murphy Is subject to these at
tacks, but never before had he been
stricken during church services.
The clergyman is pastor OF the Meth
odist church at Pleasantville and be-
loved by his many parishioners. He
Is about fifty years old and was born
and brought up in Keyport until
eight years of age. His father then
removed from this place and settled
in southern Jersey. 1t WAS Rev. Mr..
Murphy's first appearance In local
pulpit and, therefore, the congrega-
tion was unusually large, reinforced
by many who desired to welcome
back the venerable minister whom
they had Known in their boyhood,
and, also, to hear one Of his inter-
esting sermons.
Congregation Dismissed.
The congregation was Immediate
ly dismissed yesterday morning after
the sad occurrence. No services
were held last night in the edifice,
out of respect to the ailing clergy
man. The affair has spread gloom
over all who were acquainted with
Mr.. Murphy, especially among the
members of the Methodist parish
and those who knew him as a boy
so many years ago. He win remain
at Mrs. Blacks residence, where he
had been entertained previous to the
accident, until he has entirely recov-
cred from the unfortunate occur
renee of yesterday.

3 BOYS CAUGHT
ROBBING PLACE

Smith street 1t is now owned by
A. F. Kurzman, of 556 West 1S5th
street, New York city, who told Of
ficer Calvin about 5000 worth of
goods had been lost from the place
within the past three weeks.
The officer found the boys steal
ing incandescent bulbs from the rear
of the place shortly before 8 o'clock
last night. AS he was passing on
Smith street he heard noise with
in the one-story frame structure.
He tip-toed to the rear and there
found Joseph MacFarlane receiving
electric light bulbs being handed to
him by the Mount and Layden boys
within. The officer grabbed a boy
with each hand and at that instant
Layden made a hasty exit and es-
capped to his home. The MacFarlane
and Mount boys and their loot were
taken to police headquarters and the
officer went to the Layden home for
the third culprit.

tracks. When witnesses rushed to
her side she was found dead. Word

ters and Sergeant McDermott noti-
fed Coroner James j. Flynn. He
took charge Of the body.
Suicide Report Denied.
Different versions as to how the
woman came to be in the path of
the express train are giver. There
was a report of suicide, but that is
denied by her relatives. A boy told
the police that the woman kneeled
down to tie shoe lace just before
she was killed Patrolman Chris
Hanson, who made an investigation
of the accident, said he learned from
witness that Mrs. Poulsen was
walking northward on the easterly
track just before the express came
laundering along; that g. man yelled
to her to look out and at that in
slant she stepped to the westerly
track directly into the path of the
express and was killed.
When brother of the victim was
seen at her home this morning he
cto Nrc Dnn1cnf1 m ho1. xun u
to a store In upper Smith street
when she met her untimely death.
He was at loss as to how she came
to be walking on the track between
Smith and Fayette streets, except,
he stated, that she might have done
SO for the purpose OF shortening the
distance and to walk where 1t was
not muddy. He admitted she was
trespassing on railroad property and
said she should not have walked
where she did.
A part of the woman's clothes
were torn to shreds. There were
numerous slits across the back Of
her waist as though it had been
slashed with knife. A fur hat she
wore was carried about hundred
feet from where the body laid. The
express. a Central railroad train No.
315, attached to engine No. 572,
stopped near Market street. After
the conductor in charge had made a
report, 1t went on. A Pennsylvania
train attached to engine No. 1,408,
which followed on the same track,
was held up for several minutes
while Coroner Flynn was being sum-
moned and the body was removed to
G. M. Peterson & Company's coal
yard and later to Mr.. Flynn's
morgue. The crew of the Fennsylva-
MIA train furnished a stretcher for
carrying the body. 1t was identified
by soren Clemensen, the woman's s
brother-in-law.
The victim is survived by a hus-
band, Carl Poulsen, who is a con-
tractor, and two children, Henry, six
years old, and Thorvald, twelve years
