MARITIME IN FAVOR
Of A NEWARK MAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator
MARITIME announced today that he be-
Iieves that only Newark man should
be considered for the position of in
ternal revenue collector at Newark.
He also denied printed statements
that there is feeling between himself
and Senator Hughes over the ap-
pointment, or. that he has any feel
ing against Charles V. Duffy, of Pat
erson, who is Senator Hughes's can
didate for the place.
Senator MARITIME does not know Mr..
Duffy and the only reason why he
will not support his candidacy is
that he believes that the place should,
by all means, be given to a Newark
man.
Senator MARITIME has no one candi-
date for the place. He says that
John V. Diefenthaler, Joseph A. Con-
molly, James NJ. Reilly, or any one of
a dozen other able Newark men will
receive his support as candidates for
the place. He adds that, in his opin-
ion, greater care should be exercised
in the choice of man to fill the posi-
ton at this time than ever had been
in the past, because of the increased
duties which the collector will have
when the operation Of the income tax
law begins.

COLON ON
Jersey COAST LEDGE

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, Sept. 20.
The Panama steamship Colon, with
140 passengers and a heavy cargo of
freight, ran her PROV into a sub
merged ledge known as the Shrews-
bury rocks, a half-mile off the Jersey
shore, at Gallilee, eight miles south
of here, at S:15 o'clock this morning
and stuck helpless for three hours and
half. She was pulled off at Gas
o'clock by the steam pilot boat New
Jersey, which happened to be cruising
in the vicinity, and proceeded toward
New York uder her own power. The
vessel was uninjured.
While Captain Mowbray, of the
liner, was reticent in regard to the de-
tails of the mishap it was the theory
of Captain Green, of the Monmouth
life-saving crew, which hurried out
with an offer to aid, that the crash
was due to the heavy mist. 1t was
Captain Green's understanding after a
megaphone conversation with Cap
tain Mowbray that the accident had
not been officially reported by wire
less and that the vessel was holding
her own calmly in the hope of pulling

COL. WRIGHT is
BORNE TO GRAVE
Simple but Impressive Serv-
ices Held-Many Prominent
People at Funeral.

In accordance with the wishes of
Colonel Edward Henry Wright, OF
"a Park place, who died on Wednes-
DAY. the funeral services conducted
for him today at the House of Prayer
were as simple as the rites of the
Episcopal Church permit. The church
was nearly filled to capacity when
the coffin, draped with an American
flag, was borne to the altar. AL
though the services were unosten-
tatious, the presence of many distin-
euished men and women in the little
edifice made the occasion a notable
one
Right Rev. Edwin s. Lines con-
Quoted the services. He was IS
sisted by Rev. John S. Miller, rector
OF the House of Prayer, and Rev.
Mercer Johnson, rector OF Trinity
Church. The services, though simple,
were most impressive, and while the
bishop recited the prayer for the dead
one woman was so overcome with
emotion that she had to be lead from
the church.
Following the services at the
church the body was conveyed to
Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, where 1t was
inferred with military honors. A
number of aged Civil War veterans,
who presented a pathetic figure
gathered together in the church,
were present when taps" were
sounded as the body was lowered
into the grave.

attended the funeral were the fol-

RESIGN POSTS IN
JUVENILE COURT
Court Attaches Retire Because
of Civil Service Con-
troversy.

Several designations by attaches of
the Juvenile Court were announced to-
day. 1t is believed that their action
is the result of rcent criticism by the
Civil Service Commission, which con-
tended that the attaches were not
legally appointed.
Miss Anna w. Tansey and Bartholo-
NEW J. Freeman have sent in their
designations, and 1t is understood that
Charles Dolan also will retire. The
last named is brother of Judge Pat
rick F. Dolan, of the Juvenile Court.
e. ]. Thompson, the other attache, is
also expected to resign.
1t was stated by Mr.. Freeman that
the reason for his resignation was to
avoid embarrassing Judge Dolan or
hampering him in his work. The other
attaches, he believed, also felt the
same way.
Judge Dolan said today he did not
desire to be drawn into a controversy
with Colonel Alexander k. Fordyce,
jr., of the Civil Service Commission.
who has refused to certify to the pay
rolls of the court since August 15,
claiming that the four appoIntees of
Judge Dolan were holding their posi-
lions illegally and that the places
should be filled by persons whose
names are eligible on the civil service
list furnished Judge Dolan early in
August.
Judge Dolan pointed out that the
act creating the juvenile court spe-
officially says "the judges of said
court shall designate not more than
four persons as officers or attend
ants" and further fixes a limit on the
compensation that shall be paid. In
the section of the act there is no
reference made to the court attend
ants originally appointed being eligi-
BILE under the civil service list.
1t is also pointed out by Judge
Dolan that at the time the court was
opened, in March last, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission had no eligible list
available, and furnished none until
early in August. If, as Mr.. Fordyce
contends, declares Judge Dolan
temporary attendants only should
have been appointed, 1t would have
been necessary for new men to be
appointed every sixty days, as civil
service rules are that temporary APP
pointments shall not exceed sixty
days in length.

off unaided with the rising of the
tide.
The rock ledge is marked by a
number of buoys and lights, and ap-
pears upon all the maps of mariners.
1t rises to within about sixteen feet
of the surface and parallels the shore
for O distance of about mile. 1t
has been the scene of more than one
mishap in the past history of coastal
shipping.
Modern mariners have formed the
habit of giving the dangerous point
a wide berth, especially in foggy and
rainy weather.
The captain of the pilot boat New
Jersey sighted the Colon through his
glasses, and recognizing that she was
out of her course and in the vicinity
of the dangerous rocks he steered in
and sought enlightenment. The result
was that lines were strung between
the two boats and the engines of
both set going. Under the combined
effort the Colon slid off easily and in
less than twenty minutes had swung
hsr prov for deep water and headed
for New York.
The Colon arrived in Quarantine at
S:43 a. m. She proceeded to her pier

The voice came from somewhere
beneath Judge Hahn's desk in the
Third precinct today. The judge lis
tened to hear further from the I'M

heard was a weak little sob. He stood
up and looked over the desk, and
there standing before him, one foot
stepping on the other, a dirty wee
fist rubbing tear-filled eyes, was a
boy, a boy of about IL. He was clad
in a ragged pair of overalls, one
strap of which across his shoulder
held them up, and was hatless, and
had black curly locks.

him to a seat on the high desk beside
