MAY ORGANIZE
CATHOLIC CLUB
Young Men Want Use of Old
Church Building.

Several young men Of st. Mary's
Roman Catholic church, Of this city,
are making plans for the formation
of Young Mems Catholic Club and
hope to secure st. Mary's hall for
meeting and club purposes. About
ten years ago such club flourished
in this city until the knights of
Columbus became strong. Then the
membership dwindled, the rooms in
Smith street were abandoned and
the club disbanded.
Now that the younger element are
clamoring for an organization and
being too young to join the Knights
Of Columbus they want local Cath
olic Club. Rev. Peter B. Corr, when
told of the plans, said that the old
church would not be available, as
owing to the growth of the parochial
school it will be necessary to use
the church for class purposes. Those
who are leading the project have
planned to have a meeting the early
part of next month.
In addition to club purposes it Is
planned to equip a first-class gymna-
SUM and have teams representing
the organization In every branch of
local sports.

MUST ACT ON
THE FRANCHISE
Recorder Finds No State
Law Is Plain.

Provisions of a franchise under
which the Public Service Railway
Company is operating trolley cars in
this city will probably be used by
the police in forcing the traction
company to terms in allowing police
men to ride free of charge. Re
corder Kehoe Informed Chief of
Police Burke and some of the other
police officials last night that he
could find nothing in the state laws
which permitted officers not in uni
form, who are not detectives, to ride
free of charge. Chief Burke replied
that the fight was being waged under
the franchise. The recorder stated
that seemed to be the only means of
fighting.
Chief Burke says the franchise
provides that police officials shall be
carried free of charge on trolley cars,
whether in uniform or not. He says
similar franchises are in effect in
other places in the state, despite en-
actment of more recent state laws,
and he is desrous of knowing why
the provisions of the franchise given
by this city cannot be enforced.
David Lanburge, the Public Ser
vice conductor arrested Tuesday for
attempting to remove Patrolman
Charles Quinn from a trolley car
when riding while not in uniform
and refusing to pay fare, Will be
arraigned on a charge of assault to-
morrow night.

dress. The woman was seen about
the hotel yesterday and today when
she tried to get into the same eleva-
tor with Taft she was Immediately

SIMMONS TO
FLY AT FAIR
AeropIane Expected from
Adirondacks Today.

Oliver G. Simmons, aviator and
mechanic for r. J. Collier, has plan
ned to make flights daily at the Red
Bank fair, which opened today. The
hydro-aeroplane used by Mr.. Collier
in the Adirondack mountains during
the past month has been shipped to
the hangar at Soldiers Beach and is
expected to arrive this afternoon.
Several local people are scheduled
to make flights with Mr.. Simmons
during the events at Red Bank.
Engines built and designed by Mr..
Simmons will be installed in one Of
the aeroplanes Of Mr.. Collier. 1t is
contended by the designer that his
engine which is of higher power than
the ones now used by the Collier
machines will make flying more safe,
as the air craft can be brought about
in a dead calm by the high powered
engine. Not only will the new mo-
tor be used in aeroplanes, but sew
eral contracts have been signed with
the aviator to install the machine In
high speed motor boats.
The aeroplane demolished at
Keansburg Saturday has been taken
to Wickatunk, where a force Of me-
chanics are working building an
other machine. The engine used will
be installed in the machine now un-
der construction.

down along the ages, according to
Governor Wilson, Democracy's candi-
date for president, addressing the
great farmers rally when he assail-
ed the tariff here this afternoon. The

the fact that the fight for bread

the coming election If possible,
Governor Woodrow Wilson early
today conferred with number of
state leaders before starting for VIII
liam's Grove where, this afternoon,
he will address a conference Of farm

on his invasion Of the rural terri
tory by nearly 100 OF the party lead
ers in the state headed by Congress
man A. Mitchell Palmer and State
Chairman George w. Guthrie.
En- route the state situation was
discussed and 1t was generally agreed
that Democracy efforts should be
concentrated on carrying Maine, Mas
sachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio. 1t was explained that T. R.
planned a big fight in the far west
and that Wilson by concentrating on
the eastern states and depending on
Marshall's influence in Indiana would
be able to do far more effective work
than by making a circle swing. This
was explained by members of the

London, Aug. 29.-It is estimated
that $4,000 persons gathered in Olym-
pla to take part in the memorial sery-
ives Of the late General Booth.
The scenes IN the vast building were
emotional to an extraordinary degree
1t was probably the greatest funeral
service the world has known.
1t was not service Of sorrow. There
was no black, no somber color. The
playing of the dead march In Saul"
and the coffin, escorted by the oldest
soldiers OF the army which General
Booth founded, were the only indica
tons Of death.
The chief impression conveyed by
the proceedings was that of trium
phant though solemn rejoicing for the
life of great religious leader.
Throughout the passage of the fu-
neral procession, which occupied TWEEN
ty minutes In passing up the arena
massed bands played and replayed
the dead march. Then followed a
long. emotional service, after which
every Salvationlst was invited to make
q fresh conservation of his life and
penitents were exhorted to come to
the mercy seat.
Finally a hymn of triumph, with
bands blaring and tens Of thousands
of voices singing, closed the ceremony.
which, though inartistic in details.
was yet deeply impressive In its vast
and strange appeal
