JERSEY CITY, n. j.. March L.
Governor James F. Fielder today
formally announced his candidacy
for the gubernator!al nomination on
the Democratic ticket.
His entry into the lists took the
shape of letter to Pierre f. Cook,
chairman of the Fielder League.
Il shall enter the contest with
Nigor,' he promises, "and shall en-
deaVor by all honorable means to
secure the nomination"
MIR. Fielders candidacy is regarded
as severe jolt to tho aspirations of
Mayor II. Otto Wittpenn, who is also
anxious for the nomination.
Among Mr.. Fielder's followers are
many of the most influential Demo-
Gratis in Hudson county. They are
planning to organize Fielder clubs in
every section of the county and make
a Statewide compaign for his elec-
tion. To them Mr.. Fielder appears
to be the logical candidate for the
next governor of New Jersey. and
they say that his nomination at the
primaries will be equivalent to elec-
ton.
Mr.. Fieider's letter follows in full

A barge lying alongside the Alum
Chine, containing $40 tons of dyna
mite. being transferred to the Alum
Chine was completely destroyed and
sank. 1t is believed that the explo-
sion occurred on the barge.
The force of the explosion swept
away upper works of the L. S. Naval
Collier Jason. killing three men and
iniuring % others. The Jason was
about 700 feet away at the time. She
had Just been completed.
Six of the crew of the tug Atlantic,
lying alongside the Alum Chine, were
killed. and the tug practically des-
troyed. Ten of the Jason's people are
said to be fatally hurt.
Forty stevedores are unaecounted
is considered certain that they
perished.
The tremendous explosion shook
the country for miles around Win
dows We're broken and chimneys
knocked off houses a dozen or more
miles from the scene of the disaster.
At Sparrows Point a schoolhouse
was partly destroyed and several
children hurt.
Baltimore was shaken as if by an
earthquake. and tall buildings in the
centre of the city We're rocked by the
shock.
Scores of vessels hurried to the
scene of the disaster to render what
aid they could Floa ting bodies
were drawn from the wreokage and
some of the injured were rescued
from the floating debris. Thirty or
more. badly hurt men were brought
to Baltimore hospitals. The Alum
Chine had been here since March |,
and was finishing the loading of
cargo of high explosives for the
Panama canal
This morning a lighter with four
railroad cars was towed to the side
of the vessel and the work of COM
pleting the task of loading was eN
pected in a few hours.
Nearby were the tug Atlantic and
several launches belonging to ship
chambers who were engaged in fur
nishing supplies to the steamship for

from the hold of the ship. One of tho

Was placed in their hands at 9:Os.
e At 9i55 O'Clock the jury sent word
Is Judge Conley that its members
" ere too tired to deliberate and were
aoing To bed The Judge thereupon
adjourned court until 10 o'clock to-
day
unheedful of the plea of one of the
jurors for a recess until today. SUI
pe"ior Judge Conley had interrupted
the closing argument of Assistant
District Attorney Ford to declare
recess until Z o'clock last evening.
During his long address Ford sew
eral times stirred Darrow's counsel
to protest by intimatiens that there
was something wrong" about the
first trial of the labor lawyer. which
resulted in an acquittal. 4 half doz-
en- members of the former jury were
present, and when the evening re-
cess was declared they appealed to
Judge Conley against what they des-
isnated ''insinuations of crooked
ness by Ford
Darrow's plea to the jury was long
and thrilling. He finished
Gentlemen, there is nothing in this
case. Where men toll with their
hands-where women. worn. weak,
weary, are sewing tears into gar
ments TO be worn by the rich, 1 know
that there are prayers going up for
me todaY-prayers that this jury will
free me-"

accompaniment of sobs. Tears

Fearing Asylum,
Commits Suicide

Threatened with commitment to an
insane asylum, Ludlow e. Wooden, 30
years old, of 50 Chester avenue, killed
himself early today.
His sister. Nellie. went to call him
at $50. When he did not respond,
she opened the door and saw him
stretched across the bed with a gas
tube hanging down near him.
DR.. Eugene w. Murray, of 81 Wash
ington avenue, was summoned. but
he pronounced Wooden dead. Lieu
tenant Fallon. of the Second precinct,
and County Physician Mckenzie were
notified.
Wooden had been in ill-health and
acting queerly for two weeks. 1t was
suspected that he was suffering from
some mental arrangement and physi-
clans we're to have examined him to-
day, in order to determine whether it
would be advisable to send him to a
home. He feared the result of this
examination and became melancholy.

Strikers Close
Five More Mills
Especial to the Newark star.l


PATTERSON, N. j., March Five
more big silk mills were forced to
shut down today or account of the
strike. This added 1000 to the num-
Der of millhands already out
The factories that closed were the
Dexter & Lambert mills, the two
Miesch mills and the two plants of
Frank & Dugan. Yesterday the Cor
bett Brothers mill shut down, to-
gether with the Brandes MILL in South
Paterson. the Rhinelander mill and
several others.
In some cases the closing was vol
untary, since the mill owners fear the
outbreak of violence. The factories
that are still running are guarded by
detectives. and the workmen have
to be specially policed to protect
them from assault and intimidation.
Big Bill Haywood is expected to
address a monster mass-meeting at
Turn Hall tonight. With his coming

is thought. will become more vig-
orous.

the panie-stricken crew or as many
as had time to escape from the lower
part of the ship.
Right alongside the Alum Chine
was the launch Jerome manned by
Ship Chandler James p. Goodhues.
Into this boat leaped fourteen of the
British boat crew and Goodhues
turned the bow of his little craft
away from the burning ship and put
off at top speed.
The first puff of smoke was followed
by clouds of greater volume.
The men on the lighter made every
effort to escape. The captain of the
tug Atlantic was too far from the
boat to render any assistance and too
! close TO escape its coming doom.
When the fleeing launch was two
hundred fee from the Alum Chine the
explosion came.
There was deafening roar as
hundreds of tons of explosive went
off. Columns of flame shot out from
every portion of the vessel and the
air was filed with flying debris.
Pieces of machinery and portions
of the hull of the boat weighing tons
were shot hundreds of feet into the
air.
Pieces of iron and steel three feet
long and weighing fifty pounds We're
found at points on the. Anne Arun-
del and Baltimore counties shores,
three and four miles from the scene
of the explosion.
The flying debris included still nn-
exploded boxes of dynamite, and ii is
believed that the falling of these on
the decks of the Jason and the tug
Atlantic was responsible for the ter
rible damage and loss of life on those
vessels.
The superstructure of naval collier
Jason nearby was swept away and
her side was riddled by the flying
metal fragments that had been hurled
from the demolished steamer.
One of the unexploded boxes of dy-
Mantle hurting through the air
struck portion of the upper works
of the Jason and exploded
Several men were killed outright
and thirty more who were on the
collier were frightfully injured.
Another box of dynamite exploded
as it landed on the deck of the tug
Atlantic. and three men lost their
lives there.
