rendered against Thomas Evans, of
this city, at Keansburg yesterday

Overland machine at the time of the
accident, are loud in their denoun-
citation of the justice meted out.
They assert Evans was taken a
prisoner Immediately after the acci-
dent and held In hotel until re-
leased through the efforts of a local
garage owner. Evans declares the
Lozier car was being driven on the
wrong side of the road leading to-
wards Keansburg beach on the night
Of the accident, while he was driv-
ing on his right side heading towards
this city. He states he tried to pass
the truck, despite Its position, and
as he did the Lozier driver turned
to the same side. The machine came
together with a heavy jolt shaking
up the passengers of both. Mr.
Uloth sustained cut on the fore
head. Evans machine was damaged
to the extent of $50.

WORKING UP EVIDENCE

Detective Sergeants Huff and Long
with William Hilker, photogra-
pher, are going over the scene of the
murder of ten year old Mary Halli-
day about the Lehigh Valley coal
stock grounds today, to prepare for
the trial of Hka Kompovics, sixty
two years old, at New Brunswick on
Monday. James 8. Wight, who was
recently assigned to defend the ac-
cused man, viewed the murder scene
the early part Of this week and Is OBJ
tanning such information as he can
to aid in the defense.
Chief of Police Burke, the two de-
tective sergeants, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
uel Halliday and a little boy who
declares he saw Kompovics talking
to the girl on the day of the muir
der, will be the principal witnesses
against the man. Assistant Prosecu-
tor Stricken with the aid of the po-
lice has been working up evidence
to be used in the prosecution. A
conviction is predicted, despite the
fact that the bulk Of evidence Is cir
cumstantial. No one has been found
who saw the actual crime committed,
but the police have plenty of evil
dence to prove that Kompovics had
often caressed the girl while he
boarded at the Halliday home at 532
Mechanic street; that he disappeared
with the girl on the morning of July
/, bought cakes for her and was
later seen talking to her near the
spot where the girls body was found.
The crime of which Kompovics is
accused is one of the most heinous
of modern times. He has been in
dicted for murder. 1t is claimed
that he rayished the little girl in a
dark tunnel under the coal stock
grounds of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road and then strangled her to
death. He has said little about the
case and made no admission except
to say that if he did it he must have
been drunk. He failed to make a
plea when requested several times
to do so and a plea of not guilty was
entered for him.

Saloon of Benjamin Wander
at 62 Washington Street
Is Broken Into.
ENTRANCE BY SIDE DOOR
Proprietor Had Just Closed
Place and Heard Thieves
in Bar Room.

Within ten minutes after Benja-
min Wander had closed his saloon at
So Washington street last night it
was entered and robbed of about So
in cash and six bottles of bar whis-
key. Wander believes he heard the
thieves at work. At the sound of
noise that seemed to come from the
bar room, he left his living apart
ments on the second floor to investi-
gate and incidentally to secure an
article he had forgotten.
He was surprised to find the side
door broken open. A hasty investi-
cation revealed the theft of about 50
in change, the contents of a cash
register on the back bar. Today
Wander discovered that six quart
bottles Of bar whiskey had also been
taken from the back bar. He found
nothing else disturbed.
Patrolmen Quinn and Hartung
made an investigation, but found no
clues which might lead to the dis
covery of the miscreants.
According to the story Of the rob-
berry told to the police, 1t Is certain
that Wander did not violate the ex-
else laws In keeping open after
hours. Had he kept open until mid
night, the usual closing hour, his
place might not have been robbed.
He closed the barroom and went up
stairs to his living apartments at
11:45 o'clock, he says. In less than
ten minutes afterward the robbery
had been committed.

There Is disappointment today

agreed with the exasperated one in
every particular.
But Miss Brandon only smiles and
keeps her peace. She remains firm,
however, in the declaration that the
first few lessons in the spacious base
ment Of the high school annex,
where a modern kitchen has been in
stalled, will be devoted to explana-
of the course and more Interesting"
studies of economic principles. There
will come a time, not far distant, she
states, when all the fair scholars
will be given an opportunity to learn
to cook regular meal" But,
again, the meal will consist of only
vegetables. when do the candy les
sons start?" inquiries one young
! lady.
After the pupils learn to boil wa

admits that few lessons will be
given In the fine art OF making ice
cream and luscious chocolate fudge.
The attendance at the cooking class

Speech at Denver.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 20. - Colonel
Roosevelt came out squarely In a
speech to $4,000 people packing the
Auditorium here in favor Of the "recall
Of presidents" for inefticiency or mis-
conduct in Office. 1t was a declaration
made in reply to one of FIVE questions
propounded by William Jennings
Bryan, who has been campaigning In
this state during the past f1ve days in
behalf Of the candidacy of Governor
Wilson. The boldness and novelty Of
the proposition advanced by the colonel
were such as to make the great audi
ence gasp and then 1t testified its ap-
proval by thunders Of applause.
Here Is what the colonel said: "As
far as / am concerned, / should be
glad to have the recall for the presi-
dent. 1t is not in the Progressive plat
form, and this Is merely an expression
Of my personal feelings. My own ex-
perience was that I could do nothing
as president except when the people
were heartily with me. The minute |
ceased to have them with me, whether
1t was my fault or theirs, 1 ceased to
have power. Under such conditions l
would prefer to leave the presidency
unless in fair open fighting on the
stump could bring the people round
to my way Of thinking. Such a course
/ think would be to my advantage and
to theirs.
"As to the number of nonconsecutive
terms a president might have, every
argument in favor OF any limita tion
of the terms of the president can refer
only to consecutive terms. Any third
term talk which refers to nonconsecu,
tive terms ls an utter absurdity."

Columbus, O., Sept. Ex-Governor
Wilson arrived in Columbus today
three hours ahead of time. He took
advantage of the early arrival to
gain a needed sleep. Last night the

wore him out and he wanted to be
refreshed for today's strenuous pro-
gram. r
How are you, WoodyT yelled a big
fellow at Michigan City, Ind, who
looked as II he had just come out
Of boiler factory.
"F1ne," responded the governor,
'how are you"
The governor said when the train
stopped he would rather get down on
the step Of the car than make speech.
He descended to the bottom step while
the crowd struggled to get to him,
laughing and shouting in good humor,
II want to shake hands with the next
president" cried an old soldier with
one crutch. '1've been a Republican
all my life, but I'm going to vote for
you this time"
II want to shake hands with you
anyway, whether or not I'm going to
be the next president" replied the
governor.
After most Of the crowd had shaken
hands with him there were cries Of
speech. Governor Wilson In response
said:
II have tried discussing the big ques-
tions Of this campaign from the rear
end Of train. 1t can't be done. By
the time you get started and begin to
explain yourself the train moves off.

acquaintance than leave compound

At Niles, Mich, Governor Wilson
again turned out to greet a crowd
and said. II think the best thing
I can do is to. give myself the pleasure
Of shaking hands with you" Again
he took the bottom step and shook
hands, while the crowd cheered,

form. kalamazoo Is all for you," was
the first cry that greeted the governor.
who waved his hand and replied
That's fine. Then I don't have to
say anything, because everything is
going Democratic, anyhow" The gov
ernor made short address. however.
and as his train moved away the
crowd waved hats and handkerchiefs
and called '"Goodby" as the nominee
stood on the platform and bowed.
At Battle Creek a good sized crowd
collected and enthusiastically cheered
short talk the governor made. When
he finished speaking Governor Wilson
shook hands with a jostlng, good ma
tured crowd. 1t was raining hard
when Governor Wilson reached Albion,
but a large crowd was waiting for
him. AS he stepped on to the plat
form somebody yelled, HE don't look
like Teddy, does he" The governor
waved his hand, laughed and said: mo,
I'm not like Roosevelt l can't be In
two places at the same time"
AS the people pressed forward Gov
ernor Wilson stepped down on the
ground and held an impromptu reeep-
ton In the rain. One stout fellow
