SUIT IN
RECENT STRIKE
State Street Groceryman
Takes Action for Broken
Window of His Store.
NO INSURANCE ALLOWED
Counsel Will Take Action
Against the City Unless Set
tlement is Made.

In an effort to collect 800 damages
sustained during the recent strikes at
the A. s. & R Company and Barber AS
phalt Company, in winch four hugh
window panes in his store wers smash,
ed, John Nickodem, Of 1852 State street,
brought suit, this morning in the dis
trict court against the Amsterdam
Casualty Company, Of 74-7S William
street, New York. The testimony
showed that the policy issued by the
company to the plaintiff did not COW
er damages sustained during riots, etc,
therefore Judge John w. Beekman re-
turned a decision in favor Of the de-
fendant.
VIII Sue Tho City.
Francis P. Coan, counsel for Nicko-
dem, said after the trial that action
will be brought against the city Of
Perth Amboy for the amount of the
damages, under the riot clause, unless
the Board Of Aldermen heed the coun-
sells request at its next meeting, and
pays the amount of the bill. Mr.. Coan
states that the decision of Judge Beck
man, who ruled that the loss was under
the riot clause, makes the city liable for
dll VI lIht ndJuG6 rus
during the recent labor troubles.
Other Companies Paid.
1t is understood that all other casual
ty companies, who had insured local
property owners, paid the amount of
the claims presented against them by
local merchants who suffered similar
experiences to that of Nickodem. One
of Nickodem IS witnesses this morning
was Patrolman A. Jensen, who was in
the melee during which the grocery
s. plate glass windows in his store
at 759 State street were smashed. Jen-
sen had arrested man and was on his
way to police station when assaulted by
friends of the prisoner. Adrian Lyon
appeared for the casualty company.

TEST OF new
TRUCK WAS A
BIG SUCCESS
New Fire Apparatus Taken
to Smith and State Streets

Witnessed by several thousand
people the new aerial truck of the
Protection Hook and Ladder COM
pany was given its official test Sat-
urday light. Members of the Board
OF Aldermen and Acting Mayor Gar
retson were present to see that the
specifications and guarantee were
adhered to before officially accept
ing the apparatus. The new truck
works to perfection. A thorough
test was held showing the merits of
the device.
The apparatus was taken from
the house at 7:15 o'clock with Will
lam Petty in the drivers seat and
George Mead at the wheel. At the
corner Of State and Smith streets
some of the features of the appar-
atus were shown. The automatic
ladder was placed on the top of the
American building and Joseph
Hornsby, captain Of the company,
was the first one to ascend, closely
followed by Jay B. FRANKIE and Bert
Gilman.
Extension Ladder Used.
Then the seventy-five foot extern
sion Ladder was used straight from
the wagon and Jay FRANKIE ascended
alone. After the demonstrations at
the principal corner, the new appar-
atus, together with the hose wagon
and steamer of Lincoln Engine Com
pany proceeded to Jefferson and
Maple street. Here the forty foot
ladder raised itself in four seconds.
Throw u Sream.
The steamer was attached and
stream was thrown from the top OF
the ladder 1t was surprising with
what rapidity the ladder is adjusted
and how easily the hose is handled
at such a height. The test was COM
pleted at S:15 o'clock. Acting May
or Ferd Garretson, Chief Frank
Comings and members of the Board
of Aldermen are much pleased with
their purchase. The new apparatus
goes into commission this afternoon.
While raising the ladders Satur-
day night several of the teeth of one
of the wheels were ripped OF and
will be replaced at once. The acct
dent does not place the truck out OF
commission.

MAKE CHANGE
AT HOSPITAL
Another Superintendent Take
Charge Next Week.

The city hospital will have new
superintendent commencing Wednesday,
of this week, in the person of Miss
Wood, who for the past three years has
served as superintendent of the Enge-
wood hospital in the upper part of this
state. Miss Mary c. Sheppard has been
superintendent Of the local institution
for the past two months and half, hav-
ing succeeded Miss Beatrice M. Bam-
Der May IS, last. She leaves the posi-
tion for more quiet life, deeming that
her physical strength will not permit
her to continue to bear the strain made
so heavy by assuming full charge Of the
city hospital here. She plans to take a
rest and will then resume private nurse
work.
Governors Of the hospital were much
surprised recently when Miss Sheppard
rendered her resignation. They were
highly pleased with her work and no.
ticed she was progressing very well. AS
had Miss Bamber, her predecessor, she
had charge Of all departments in the
hospital from the culinary department
ligently, but the strain became too
great to bear, she told the governors
after rendering her resignation. 1t has
been accepted pending the arrival Of a
successor.
Miss Wood was here last week and
met heads of the city hospital. She
told them of her experiences in hospi-
tai work and they feel satisfied that she
is fully capable of taking hold Of
the institution.

WILSON WARM
ON THE TARIFF
Will Take Advanced Grounds
on Progressive Issues.
Spec,aI bv United Press W,ra

Sea Girt, July 29:-Tariff for
revenue only, no third and no sec
ond term for president, and personal
guilt for corporation officials who
violate antitrust laws of the United
States, will be the three great issues
discussed by Governor Wilson in his
speech accepting the Democratic
presidential nomination. 1t can be
stated that the speech will be the
most progressive the candidate has
ever delivered. He takes advance
grounds on every progressive ques-
ton, and plainly declares that he
believes in the rule Of the people
and in committing such rules by
plification of the existing laws.
The governor Is expected back to-
night from his ocean trip. The tariff
section of the state will attract the
most attention. The governor ex-
pressed himself in unequivocal terms
in discussing this subject with the
very few men he took into his conf
dence in considering it. He stated
that he considered the Democratic
platform absolutely binding on him,
and in his speech he will follow that
line, departing only to assure the
country at large that the tariff regu-
lations must be scientific, and so the
country itself will be protected. He
will make it very plain, however,
that luxuries should be taxed to the
limit

Near Germantown.
HAD OUTING YESTERDAY

The fortieth anniversary of the
organizing of the congregation of
st. Stephens Danish Lutheran
church in this city was celebrated
yesterday with picnic and outing
at Hanson's farm at Germantown.
The members of the church, together
with the children of the Sunday
school, went out In the morning by
a special trolley car from in front
Of Dana hall at 10 o'clock. Many
went out In automobiles and wagons
during the day.
On arriving at the farm service
was held on the lawn by Rev. A. T.
Dorf, the pastor. After this lunch
con was served from the baskets
that all had taken with them. In
the afternoon Mr.. Dorf spoke again
on why all should support a Da-
nish church in this city,
Following this Chris Mathiasen
spoke on the early days of the
church in this city. He spoke OF
Rev. A. L. J. Soeholm, of Wisconsin,
who was the first pastor of st.
Stephens church and one of its Or
ganizers. The congregation was Or
ganized August 20, 1872. Rev. Mr.
Soeholm remained here until 1878.
Rev. R. Anderson, of Brooklyn, came
here in 1873 and remained until
1880. After this Rev. o. Jacobson,
who is at present in Troy, came
here.
At that time many of the congre-
CATION left here, leaving only five
members. Rev. Stenstrup, of Den
mark, was the next pastor. He was
followed by J. F. christensen, who
came here in 1900 and was in charge
of the church for ten years, when he
resigned to take charge in the

pastor, came here in January, 1911,
from Denmark. The present church
was erected in 1896. Since the first
OF the year the parsonage has been
remodeled and the pastor and fam
lily are residing there. The church
is in an excellent condition and Is
increasing in membership.

MISSING NURSE.
FOUND DEAD IN
CATSK|LL CREEK
Body Identified as That of
Miss Dorcas !. SnodQrass
Who Had Disappeared.
MYSTERY IN DEATH
No Water in Lungs Leads Au.
thorities to Suspect Some
thing Other Than Drowning
SpeciaI By United Fress Wire.

Catskill, July 29:-The name
Snodgrass on the band of an under
garment today furnished the conclu-
sive link in the identification of
the body found in the mud of Cat
skill creek as that of Miss Dorcas l.
Snodgrass, the society girl and for
mer nurse of Mt. Vernon, N. Y, who
disappeared a week ago last Thurs
day.
Mrs. James I. Crider, sister of the
missing girl, said that the descrip-
ton Of the Catskill creek girl fitted
that of Miss Snodgrass, and that II
the name could be found on the un-
derclothing the Identification would
be complete. The word Snodgrass
was plainly legible and blurred
marks made it apparent that Dorcas
and 81" were washed out by the
water in which the physicians say
the body has been for at least four
days.
The body Of the young woman was
found face downward in the mud,
only partly submerged and it WAS at
once ascertained that there was no
water in the lung, making 1t appear
that death was not by drowning.
The fact, too, that leather hand
bag still hung from her arm led
Coroner Branch to admit that the
body might have been placed in the
creek after death, but no trace Of
violence appeared on the body to in
dicate murder.
Coroner Branch after his first in
vestigation was inclined to accept
the possibility that Miss Snodgrass
ended her own life. Color was lent
to this theory by the statement of
Mount Vernon relatives that Miss
Snodgrass prior to her disappear
ance suffered considerably from the
heat.
The body was clothed with a
linen crash suit. On her arm was
leather handbag containing two dol
lars and some change. A diamond
ring was on the second finger Of the
left hand, and a Junior Christian
Endeavor pin was found.
Mrs. Crider said that her sister
wore her engagement ring and also
had that kind of pin, while the
crash suit and shoes on the dead
girl were the same as those worn by
Miss Snodgrass when she left Mt.
Vernon a week ago last Thursday.
The only missing link in the iden-
tification was the marking of the un-
derclothing. Mrs. Crider said that
her sister had her name stamped
and embroidered on all her under
clothing, while the first hasty search
Of the Catskill creek victim fails to
revail any such markings. The fact
that the handbag was on the arm OF
the dead girl and the absence of
water in the lungs convinced the
coroner's jury that death was not by
drowning, though a cursory exam
nation S, owed no violence.

LAST OF THE
BIG STRIKES
NOW SETTLED
Char Workers Have All Re-
turned to Work at Old
Rate of Wages.
TO GO ON WITH FIGHT
Will Continue to Work for
Improved Conditions and
Increase in Wages.

Employees of the Perth Amboy
Cigar Works, who have been on
strike for more than six weeks re-
turned to work this morning under
the old wage scale, thereby finally
ending the countys great stampede
of industrial strikes, which began
June 10.
approximately 1900 workers,
mostly girls, struck from the cigar
factory. OF that number about 500
are now at work. The remaining
500 will probably not return, as
some have left the city and others
have taken new positions.
Say Battle Not Lost.
The cigar makers who struck do
not consider the fight over, nor do
they concede the battle lost because
they returned to work this morning.
They admit they returned under the
same wage scale and the same con-
ditions. but declare they have still
opportunities to carry on their fight
for both Increase in pay and 1mprov-
ed conditions. They originally
struck for an average increase of
from twenty-seven and a half to
thirty cents hundred cigars and for
revision Of the system of fines. The
company conceded to be a branch of
the tobacco trust, remained firm to
the end and refused to make any
concessions.
The strike began in the afternoon
of Thursday, June 13 last, three
days after the beginning of the STAN
pede of strikes. The employees
oi OF od tho rnoaiynd II
the work and objected to being fined
various amounts averaging a quar-
ter. They declared the pay was
very small compared with that re-
ceived in similar factories when de-
ductions were made for poor cigars,
branded as seconds The workers
say most of such cigars are due to
defective wrappers and cannot see
why they should give their labor to
make them for nothing.
Labor Leaders Help.
Labor leaders from this city and
from the American Federation of
labor and the Cigarmakers' Interna-
ton Union stood by tthe strikers to
the finish and claim they will con-
tinue to aid them to organize and i'm
prove their working conditions.
When it was seen that a majority
of the girls seemed In favor of re-
turning to work this morning and
large number went in, labor leaders
told the strikers they could do as
they pleased and after all but about
hundred girls had returned, one
leader advised them to return to
work and fight their battles after
ward. He later predicted that the
girls would not be satisfied and
might cause walk-outs almost daily.
Superintendent Kaufman said
about 500 employees were at work
this morning anl stated indications
were that all was o. X. about the
plant. He stated that Jerry O'Brien's
guards had been discharged.

REPUBLICANS
SEE A CHANGE
FOR HARMONY
Judge Lyon Mentioned Pro-
minentIy as a Candidate
for State Senator.
TAFT MEN FAVOR 1T
Believe That Such a Move
Would Tend to Bring Fac
tions Of Party Together.

One of the most interesting polit-
| ical rumors heard in this city. in
| many day gathered speed today
and was to the effect that COM
promise will soon be under way be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt followers
| in the Republican party in an effort
to prepare a ticket of sufficient
strength to cause the down fall of the
Democratic party in November, in
stead Of disruption and defeat in
the ranks of the G. O. P. This rt-
NOR bears the information that
former Judge Adrian Lyon, of this
city, the Roosevelt leader in Middle
sex county, is looked upon with IA
vor by the Taft men for state sena-
tor.
Lyon Has Heard Uothing.
According to Judge Lyon, there
has been no advances to him from
the leaders of the opposition fac
ton, regarding a compromise or his
views on the nomination for state
senator. When asked If compro-
! mise can be affected between the
Roosevelt and Taft factions in Mid
dlesex, he said: "No, I don't think
the Roosevelt followers would stand
for compromise, although they
may indorse satisfactory candidates
who may be named by the regular
Republicans" Mr.. Lyon scoffed at
the idea that he will be named by the
regulars in an effort to affect har-
mony in the ranks of the G. o. P.
City Committee For Lyon.
1t Is understood that the Perth
A onuh1ipa, (Nftu Cnr,, 70 q
| would gladly indorse Mr.. Lyon for
state senator, and may do so even
without signs of a compromise. The
committee, it Is known, looks with
favor upon the rumor that Assembly
man John F. Ten Brock will make
the mayoralty race for the Republi-
cans, and the announcements of the
( following probable aldermanic can
didates: First Ward, Harry r. Will
son; third ward, William Hilker;
fifth ward, Martin Duschock. AS
Messrs Wilson and Hilker lean
strongly to the side of former Pres
ident Roosevelt, it means that the
city slate will contain at least two
firm believers in the cause Of the
progressive party, regardless of
whose Endorsement they may bear.
Roosevelt Men Control.
Thus, the Roosevelt leaders have
a nucleus for city ticket. With
Judke Lyon as the candidate for
state senator, the progressives be-
lieve they are in position to dictate
terms to the regular Republicans,
and prepare slate to their liking.
This opinion has been formed by the
regulars" as we'll, it seems, and
they are more than willing, it Is re-
ported, to make peace with the Lyon
faction. "Dory" Strong, the New
Brunswick leader, looks with favor
| upon a compromise, according to
Dame Rumor, and may grant his po-
litical enemy, Judge Lyon, the sem
atorial plumb If he can have the
naming Of the assembly candidates.
AS Bob" Carson, the New Bruns-
wick rival of Senator Strong, is re-
ported to be decidedly friendly with
the Roosevelt forces, such a patching
of differences may be the means OF
bringing about heal in the famous
split in the Republican party.

ROOSEVELT IN
REPLY TO TAFT
Insists That Chicago Con-
vention Actien Was a Steal
Special bV United Press Wire.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 29:-Col.
Roosevelt today took direct issue
with the statement issued from the
White House last night, defining the
action of the Republican national
committee, and the convention Gre
Dental committee in connection
with the contest decided at the ma
tional convention recently. Roose-
welt declared that Senator Root had
said that there was merit in the
Texas contest, and that he, mean
ing Root, would have voted to seize
the Roosevelt contestants there. He
also referred to the fact that Mich
olas Murray Butler said the Roose-
welt delegates in Washington should
have been seated and that many
Taft men admitted the seating OF
Taft delegates from the fourth Cali
fornia district was a steal. From all
this, he argued, the Taft defense
was in contradiction of real facts.

HILKER IS OUT
FOR ALDERMAN

william Hilker, treasurer of the
Young Mems Republican Club, and
a firm believer in the Roosevelt
movement, announces his candidacy
for the Republican aldermanic nom
Ination in tn, third ward. He will
be unopposed, 1t is understood, on
primary day. Mr.. Hilker ran against
Alderman Richard j. Calvin In the
third ward two years ago and was
defeated by a small majority. He
considers he has brilliant chance
this fall, inasmuch as there Is a
"split" In third ward politics at the
present time. Alderman Calvin VIII
be opposed for the nomination by
Jesse Davis, a well known labor
man, for the Democratic nomination.

JUDGE DAILY SET WOMAN
AND LITTLE CHILD FREE

New Brunswick, July 29:-Lydia
Horvath, who was committed to Jail
last Tuesday with her alleged "affini-
ty' on complaint of her husband,
was discharged on her own recogniz-
ance Friday evening by Judge Peter
F. Daily.
The woman's four-year-old child
had been sent to Jail with her be-
cause there was no other place to
take it. This was brought TO Judge
Days attention after the Home
News had called attention to the
child being kept in jail, and he at
once started an investigation.
The judge decided that the offense
was not serious enough to warrant
the mother and her little one being
incarcerated, and as she was unable
to get a bondsman, took her own
recogniZance.
