FEAR MAN MAY HAVE BEEN
LOST IN MEADOW SWAMPS

The Newark police have been asked
to assist the Metropolitan and the
Jersey City departments in the search
for Edward Parsons, q years old, Of
46 Trenton street, Jersey City, who
mysteriously disappeared from his
home last Wednesday night. Not a
trace has been found of the missing
man, despite the efforts of the police
and the mother of the young man.
Parsons had been in the Snake Hill
Asylum for the insane for three
months and was released a week ago
Friday. On Tuesday night he left
the house and did not return until 4
o'clock the next morning. He said
he had taken a trolley ride to New
ark.
That night, just week ago, he
got fifteen cents from his mother and
said he would take a walk That was
the last seen or heard of him by his
family. 1t is feared that he may
have become lost in the swamps of
the meadows or drowned in the
river. Parsons was about feet in
height, had black hair, and wore a
dark brown suit, cloth cap, black
shirt and light tan shoes.
Mrs. Parsons came to Newark to-
day and viewed the body of a man
who had died in st. Michaels Hos
pital from heat prostration, and after
being identified as James Kiely, of
Kearny, had been proven to be some
one else 1t was not her son, she

WILSON MIXED PAPERS;
SORT OF BUTTERCUP CASE

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, June 49,
At the reunion of the class of 1888 at
Wesleyan University a good story
was told of woodrow Wilson when
he was a professor at Wesleyan. In
one of his ses-history-he had
Seymour Landon, now a dentist at
New Brighton. S, l., and Samuel g.
Landon, now in the insurance bust
ness in Albany. Seymour, apparent
ly, didn't care what marks he got,
and reaped a collection of ifours,"
signifying Just passed. Sam, how
ever. was a digger, and had a mag
nificent collection of "ones,' which
meant pretty nearly perfect.
There was great surprise, conse-
quently, at the end of the term, when
it was amuonced that Seymour had
earned a "one" and Sam a -four"
The entire college guessed what mad
happened--that Professor Wilson, like
Little Buttercup with the babies, had
mixed those papers up accidentally
because of the similarity of names
and had given the poorer student the
benefit of the hours of midnight oil
burned by the more diligent one.
Seymour was satisfied, naturally, but
Sam was peevish.

TAFT, NOT WILSON, WILL
SPEAK AT GETTYSBURG

GETTYSBURG, Pa, June 18.-Fol-
lowing the news that President Will
son would not be present at the eel
ebration of the battle anniversary
here in July, semi-official announce
ment was made today that former
President Taft would be here to pre-
side over the great gathering and to
deliver the principal grafton on July
4, the closing day of the anniversary.
Though there had been doubt for
some weeks that Mr.. Wilson would
be here, the definite announcement
caused disappointment among all
those connected with arrangements
for the celebration.
Steps have been taken to gather to-
gether as many as possible of the Get
tysburg women who years ago stood
in the streets of this town and sang
patriotic songs as Buford's cavalry
rushed through in preparation for the
fight of the first day.

TO COMPLAIN ABOUT
MARITIME TO SENATE
Continued from First rage.o


ing toward Mr.. Morton. who had risen
from his chair.
5 "Oh, let's go down and get a drink,
and wen feel better" said Mr.. Nor
ton. smiling. but still mad.
what did you say, sir?" demanded
Senator MARITIME, taking UP his big
walking cane.
Morton repeated his offer to get a
drink.
Mr.. MARITIME moved toward the wit
ness.
You are a damned BLACKBOARD of
the worst character" shouted the
senator.
"why, sir. did you not take three
drinks inside of half hour with me
the other day." cried Morton.
"You have forfeited all rights to
consideration as decent white man, "
said Mr.. MARITIME, making an effort to
get to Morton.
81 will not take that off of any -
-," replied Morton, grabbing at
MARITIME across the small stenog-
rapher's table. The two men were
almost together.
Several bystanders took hold of Mr..
Morton, who was white with rage.
Mr.. Vinson grabbed Senator MARITIME
and showed him back, saying: You
are an excited old man."
Senators Swanson and Kenyon and
Sergeant Arms Higgins got be-
tween the angry men. Senator Swan
son forced Senator MARITIME out of the
room. and Senator Kenyon quieted
Mr.. Morton.

promptly passed by one of the houses
to fail in the other. When the first
house had passed it this year the
lobby went to work. Every member
of the legislature was Investigated.
Every single word he had spoken on
the suffrage question and every let
ter he had written in connection with
other public questions was examined.
A good idea of this habit of thought
being secured and carefully indexed,
the women then visited the legis-
lators personally. They talked "busi-
ness" every minute of the time. They
met every argument advanced against
their cause; they explained every de-
tail of their plans. They were on the
floor of the house every day during
the session. A perfect system was
followed and the result was-victory.
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout has been
spoken of as the ideal type of suffra-
gist. An accomplished woman, the
mother of three boys who have had
every care and attention 1t is possible
for a mother to give, she has all her
life taken a deep interest in public
questions A native of Iowa, she is
graduate of an Iowa college and was
trained especially for public speaking.
Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick's
claims to fame do not rest solely on
the fact that she is a daughter of Sem
ator Mark Hanna or the wife of Jo-
seph Medill Mccormick She is the
chairman of the woman's welfare Sec
ton of the National Civic Federation
and her work in that organization has
stamped her one of the progressive
and intelligent women of the age, with
tremendous capacity for getting the
facts out of a complicated statement
and making something practical of
the dream of impractical reformers.

them were the same as President
Wilson was elected on three years
ago.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June 49,
Search the lobby if you would find
the answer. It has been the best and
brainiest lobby ever seen in America,
1 will admit"
The man who made this statement
was vigorously protesting against the
passage of the equal suffrage bill in
the Illinois Legislature on the day it
passed. He was Lee O'Neil Browne,
one of the men who put over Lori
pler Praise from him was indeed
praise from Caesar. And the four
women who had furnished the brains
for this brainiest of Hobbies sat in the
gallery and smiled. Browne made one
of them smile again when, in the
course of his speech, he'said that part
of his prejudice against the bill was
due to heredity.
The lady who smiled the second
time was Mrs. Joseph Medill McCor-
mick, daughter of the late Senator
Mark Hanna. Beside her in the gal
leries were Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout,
president of the Equal Suffrage
League of Illinois; Mrs. Elizabeth K.
Booth, chairman of that organiZa-
TONS legislative committee, and Mrs.
Antoinette Funk. who described her
self as merely a soldier of the
ranks"
This quartet constituted the lobby
that caused Browne to marvel,
and the way in which they worked
their bill through the Legislature is
not only a credit to them, but Mrs.
Mccormick thinks, to the brains and
passion for organization of her
father For it was an adaptation of
the Hanna methods to the Illinois
situation that was a great factor in
the final outcome.
The famous card index system
Hanna introduced to national poll
tics was used by Mrs. Trout and Mrs
Mccormick and their associates. Long
an ardent suffragist, Mrs. Trout COM
bined her great knowledge of the
cause with Mrs. McCormick's ability
as a campaign executive. and with
Mrs. Funk and Mrs, Booth these two
women planned a systematic cam
paign that just simply had to bring
results.
There probably never was such a
businesslike campaign conducted By

NEW TEST TODAY
FOR DEATH ENGINE
To Supplement Seven Already
Made in Showing Failure of
Brakes to Work.

STAMFORD, Conn, June 1S.-En-
CINE 1888, of the New Haven road,
which crashed into the Pullman car
Skylark last Thursday and sent six
passengers to death when its brakes
failed to work, will be brought out
of the round house today and sent
over the scene of the wreck in one
test today at the demand of Coroner
Phelan.
This test will be to supplement
the seven of yesterday, in six of
which the brakes worked properly,
and in the seventh failed. The test
will include the efficiency of the
driver and OF tender brakes and
will be attempted while cutting the
train in two, going at the rate of
sixty pailes an hour.
Experts are trying to determine
today what made the brakes work
successfully in six tests and fail in
the seventh.
The seventh test duplicated En-
gineer Doherty Sc sworn testimony as
to how he tried to halt his train.
From the standpoint of the New
Haven railroad, which blames Do
herty the test was a disastrous
failure.
The engine. after running with
brakes set for 1926 feet, carried the
same cars to which it was attached
on the day of the wreck for dis
lance of 375 feet further than the
SPOT where the wooden Pullman chair
car Skylark had stood when the
same engine bored through it, killing
six passengers.

GOLDINGAY MAKES
REPLY TO FIELDER
Former AssenbIyman Says it
He's a Lobbyist, So Is
Governor.

Former #Asemblyman Thomas Gold
ingay, whom Governor James F.
Fielder styled a lobbyist in state
ment he made yesterday, replied to
the charge today in kind. He recited
some instances in which Governor
Fielder figured as evidences of lob
bying" on his part.
The statement follows:
in reply to the statement of Gov
ernor Fielder in reference to his
vetoes of House bills 81 and 725
last session, l desire to say that the
criticisms of his action were made
at the annual convention of the
United Spanish War Veterans by
others besides myself, and were made
without any reference to party poll
tics.
"The Governor eanot evade these
criticisms by an unwarranted attack
on my political and personal eharac-
ter. because the United Spanish War
Veterans consider only men and their
actions. regardless of their political
Affiliations.
s with all due respect to the Gov
= ernor. l desire to correct some of his
: statements. because. to say the least.
: they are misleading.
: In the first place ] was not de-
Y feated in the primary of 1911 but
: was renominated as candidate for
4 member of the Assembly
! II did not use any influence in "a
z Democratic House of Assembly
against the Geran bill, but did make
Z plea before the Senate hearing for
a referendum to be attached thereto,
. similar to the one put on the jury
bill last session.
I'm regard to the charge that l lob
I bied on the mechanics lien laws, I
: would say that I listened attentively
: TO part of Governor FEEDERS address
at the Board of Trade meeting some
few months ago, and amongst other
things he said that it was the duty
of the men he was addressing to keep
In touch with bills introduced in the
Legislature and to give advice to as
4 sem blymen and senators on matters
with which they were familiar so that
! the legislators could vote intelligently
ON such bills.
During the sessions of 1911 and
1912 l represented some hundreds of
material men without remuneration
of any kind at Trenton, as above
stated If that is lobbying then l am
guilty of the charge.
Governor Fielder has, however,
publicly claimed credit for having
Governor Wilson veto the amend
ments to the mechanics lien laws of
1911, after they had passed both
houses of the Legislature. l wonder
if that comes under the name of lob
bying?
And again Governor Fielder, at
a dinner of the Lumberman's Asso-
citation last winter, when he was their
guest, served notice on them that
they could not revise nor alter the
law in any way. That is what /
should term expert lobbying
$50 much for the same Mr.. Gold
Ingayl What the United Spanish
War Veterans would like to know,
and what they are interested in. is
what were the real reasons that these
two bills were vetoed and why No.

the Senate after having passed the
House of Assembly by nearly unan-
imous vote
