Chambers Claims
The Tenth Ward.

1t is expected that the wards will go
for the candidates they went for in
the first primary, with the possible ex-
ception of the Tenth. Chambers men
insist that they have switched that
ward from the Woodward column.
Woodward carried that ward in the first
primary by plurality of only thirteen
votes His vote was 1871; Chambers
vote was 17S; the combined vote of his
three opponents was 217. But both sides
say the number of votes cast in each
ward will be materially changed.
In the First, Second, Third and Fifth
wards Woodward got a good majority
over his three opponents in the first
primary The vote was:

and joking about the big majority he
would pile up, Chambers has been ret
icent, as he closely studied the situa-
ton.
At his final rally at the Orpheum the
ater last night he delivered his DELHI
crate conclusion to the audience of sew
eral hundred people, and it spoke sin
Cerity.
Il have won this race he declared.
You fellows who came here with the
intention Of breaking up this meeting
are blutfing, like your betters are bluff
ing on the streets with their bets.
You're defeated and you know IT,"

Assassin Came Here
To Shoot Roosevelt

For two days, while Colonel Roose-
welt was in Atlanta, John Schrank
lurked in the city with revolver ready
to commit the deed he came so near ac-
complishing in Milwaukee last night.
According to the statement OF the
assassin, the Auditorium Armory here
was the place he had picked as the
scene of Colonel Roosevelt's death. But
here his nerve failed him, or a streak of
sanity flashed through his maddened
brain.
His purpose held, though, and from
Atlanta he followed the former presi-
dent to Chattanooga, Evansville. In
dianapolis and Chicago. Not until he
reached Milwaukee, though, had his
nerve been screwed to the sticking
point.
Schrank first planned to stage the
assassination in New Orleans, but later
changed his plans and went to Charles
ton, S c., where he awaited the date of
the Colonels arrival here

Was in the Auditorium.

When Roosevelt came to Atlanta
Schrank also reached the city. He was
at the Auditorium the night Of the
Bull Moose chiefs dramatic address
there. His revolver was in his pocket.
The scheme was in his brain, but the
nerve was not in his heart
Ten thousand persons heard the colo
mel speak that night. Thousands more
stormed the Auditorium in vain for ad-
mission. Even after being turned away
they strove madly for a glimpse of the
former president.
So dense was the throng so eager
was their desire to see the Progressive
candidate, that Chief Beavers in person
was called on to escort the colonel to
his carriage, and then, though aided by
a squad of police, he had difficulty in
forcing a passage through the crowd.
In this surging, noisy crowd the as
sassin had every opportunity to carry
out his plan. Atlanta was spared the
shot, but when the Roosevelt train de-
parted for Chattanooga. Schrank fol-
lowed.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

John Clayton the young son of Mir. and Mrs. Powell Clayton, 1901 Welch street, was the victim of a peculiar and very distressing accident Tues day afternoon, when he fell on the sidewalk at the high school building, says the Arkansas Gazette. He fell in such a manner that his tongue was caught between his teeth and bitten almost in two. He was taken to St. Nincent's Infrmary, where the injury was given attention, it being neces- sary to take two stitches to attach the severed parts. He remained at the hospital until last afternoon, when he was removed to his home, but is still unable to talk, and can, therefore, give no account of how the accident happened.

NO MORE CITY SCRIP.

Paragould, Oct. 19.-Police court records show that a total of $500 in fines have been assessed against local offenders since the first of October Until recently these fines were paid in depreciated city scrip which could be bought for 60 and 65 cents on the dollar, but since the city has borrow ed funds and is now operating on cash basis, the fines are paid in cash. The city's indebtedness does not ex- ceed 5000, and it is believed the in- creased revenues and the savings made by paying cash for salaries and materials will result in wiping out the indebtedness within l2 months.

CAR HIT TREE
Many Minor Injuries at Cliff
ton Accident.

Clifton, N. j., Sept. 17.-An interur-
ban electric car from Passaic. n. J.,
with ninety passengers, mainly bound
for the theaters In Paterson, jumped
the tracks while descending a sharp
incline at Clifton. The heavy car
swerved across the roadway and crash
ed into a tree in front Of the Mott
estate in Grace avenue. In a wild
scramble for the exits many persons
were crushed and bruised, and more
tina twenty men and women were cut
by flying glass.
Nearly half the passengers rushed
for the front door. which was fastened
with a device operated by Motorman
Thomas Mohare Of Newark. He was
daZed and almost helpless. His head
struck against the framework of the
ear, and he could not instantly open
the door. This caused those who were
headed toward the front of the car to
push and jostle, and nearly resulted in
a panic.
Miss Marie Metz of Passaic was
knocked down, and a number Of men
and women tramplcd on her. She was
saved from further injuries when
Motorman Mohare, who regained his
presence of mind, threw open his door.
The passengers rushed to the street,
dragging Miss Metz with them.
Just before the door was opened r.
d. Anderson Of Paterson tugged ex-
citedly at a window and threw it open.
He attempted to jump out, but the
press Of people about him impeded his
movements and In throwing himself
from the window he fell on his face
and hands. He was cut and bruised
and required medical aid before start
ing for his home.
Rebecca Seigel of Paterson was
found unconscious in the car after all
the other passengers had fed. The
Impact Of the collision with the tree
had thrown her forward against a seat,
and 1t is believed that she suffered a
conclusion Of the brain. She was re-
moved to the Passaic General hospital
in the automobile Of NJ. Schwartz Of
Paterson, who was passing at the time
G. the accident.
A doctor living In the neIghborhood
volunteered his services. Among those
he treated were Ernest Stevenson of
Newark, George w. Werksman of Del
awana, Harry Holman of Passaic and
Miss Edith Yuhar of the same town.
They had received Commissions and lac
erations Of the hands and face.
1.-The accident must have beer c&us-
ed by some obstruction on the track"
said Motornan Mohare. 1.-THE car was
not going more than twenty miles an
hour at the time. and that was not
swift enough to cause 1t to leave the
tracks"

VAN BUSK|RK
HEAD TICKET
Will be Republican Candidate
for Mayor in Report,
Special to fhs EVENING NEw8.

Keyport, Sept. 17:-The latest
ton in the borough is the positive
assurance from the party leaders of
the Republican ranks that A. Still
well Van Buskirk, of Main street,
superintendent of the J.. & J.. w.
Ellsworth plant in Front street, and
who was formerly a member of the
town commissioners, will head the
local ticket as a candidate for mayor.
Mr.. Van Buskirk, who is affiliated
with the Progressive element, states
that he will accept the candidacy
for the position if the people want
him.
As the progressives and the regu-
lars + now considered to be united
on county and local affairs, a strong
fight is assured for the head of the
local ticket. The opposing candi-
date will undoubtedly be S. Frank
Mason, who has filed his petition for
mayor on the Democratic ticket.
Granting that Mr.. Van Buskirk will
head the Republican ticket at the
general election In November, the
other candidates for the borough
Offices on the Republican ticket will
undoubtedly be named, 80 that
a straight lineup of that party will
affront the Democrats. Up until the
present the local political aspect
was very vague, and all sorts of
rumor were current, the most COM
mon being to the effect that the op-
posing parties would get together
and name q combination ticket
to both sides, thereby
eliminating any contest.
