Both Stores Were Crowded.

The dry goods store stood on the
northeast corner of the public square,
the other adjoining. The collapse o.
a wall in the implement house threw
its weight of heavy implements
against the corner building, and with
a noise that Jared the town to its
foundations, both sank into ruins.
The collapse of the two buildings
took place exactly at $40 O'Clock. A
sale of white goods was on in the
great three-story department store,
and men, women and children throns-
ed its counters. The implement store
adjoining was doing a thriving busl'
ness.

He turned to the sailor who was
running the tenders engine and spoke
sharply.
"Go to that other blind!"
The sailor sprang to the wheel, and
the tender shot ahead. Stuart settled
back in his seat with angry disgust,
and Bivens laughed.
Cheer up; it's no use to give orders
for a funeral yet. If VIC can't get

THE HoLsTEIN MURDER CASE

The mystery in the murder of Ben
ME Holstein is just as deep today as
it was yesterday. Several beautiful
dreams have been had by policemen
and reporters, but the solution of the
crime is still far off.
The early editions of the afternoon
papers told of the grewsome clump of
bushes where the Holstein boys body
was found informed a palpitating
public that a bloody Undershirt and
piece of suspender, bearing tell-tale
laundry marks, had been uncovered,
and pictured a new-made grave into
which a resolute reporter had poked
a stick, striking something sOft-it
felt like a body.
A murder farm was at once con-
structed, and it was predicted that
when all the underbrush was cleared
away a private graveyard might be
discovered. A policeman dug in the
grave discovered by the reporter and
found dead dog.

her home. The child was almost I'M
conscious from starvation.
The fact that G. H. Jacobson, a
real estate dealer, was showing the
house to prospective buyers saved
the child's life. He tried to open a
pantry door, but it was stuck. He
hammered on the door and at last
jerked it open.
Little Anna tottered into the room,
almost blinded by the glare of day
light after her Y hours imprison-
ment, and so weak she could barely
stand. Before Jacobson could recover
from his surprise the child had walk
ed out the door and into the arms of
her father, who was returning from
the Calumet river, where he had been
searching. for her body.
Lying in her fathers arms, the
child told her story. She said she had
been playing with some other chill
dren in the vacant house. One of
them locked her in the pantry and
went away, forgetting all about her.

BY SIMON O'DONNELL
The action of Simon O'Donneu,
president, in rushing the deal with
Hearst through the Building Trades
Council with the gavel, has aroused
a storm of protest among the real
trades unionists in the building
trades, and each of the unions af1li-
ated with the council will take the
matter up.
Delegates from the structural iron
workers and painters protested
against the action at the council
meeting last Friday, and there is pro-
testing among the rank and file all
over town. The Painters Union will
meet tonight. O'Done1's agents will
try to control each of the unions to
choke off any protest.

Hardware Men Optimistic
Over Effect of New Tariff


ATLANTIC CITY. Oct. 30.-Dele-
gates at yesterdays opening session
of the convention of the American
Hardware Manufacturers Associa-
ton and the American Hardware job
bers' Association contended that they
would be compelled to make radical
changes in the conduct of their busi-
ness If they were to meet the COM
petition of England and Germany in
their respective fields.
While there were number of mem
bers inclined to think that the new
schedule would spell ruin in many
lines, President w. d. Taylor, of
head of the jobbers, In his
annual address, expressed the belief
that the trade would eventually adj
just itself to the new tariff, and
agreed with President Wilson that an
increase In consumption of product
would make up for the loss in profits.
President Pierrepont B. Noyes, of
the manufacturers. expressed prac-
tically the same sentiments In his
annual address.

FIELDER SAYS He
IS FREE TO SERVE.
Former Governor Tells Pater-
son Audience No Boss Con-
trolls Him.

PATTERSON, Oct. 30-Passaic county
Democrats gave former Governor
Fielder, candidate for governor, plenty
of evidence last night that he need
have little fear of what they will do
for him next Tuesday. The candidate
was the principal speaker at one of
the largest meetings ever seen In the
city, not barring the great demon
stration for Wilson three years ago.
Fielder, although slightly husky from
his campaign efforts, was aroused to
pitch OF enthusiasm by the cor
diality of his reception, and in his
speech he expressed complete con-
fidence in the result of the election.
He gave voice once more to the senti-
ment that, If elected, he would be
under obligations to no party or set
of bosses, but that he would be free
to use every effort to secure legisla-
ton in fulflment of every pledge of
the party platform.
The former governor asked his
hearers to take the two parties, Re-
publican and Democratic. for the past
years and see which has served the
people best. He called attention to
the three wears of rregress made BY
the State since Wilson came on the
scene and rejuvenated the Democratic
party, and said that advance Rrounu
must not be lost, but that further
steps must be taken and more done
to bring about good government. He
asked his hearers to bark back a few
years to the days of Republican con-
troll, when the people of the State
had no voice in the affairs of the
government, but that the Legislature
and all of the administrative officers
were under the control of party bosses
who Were directed by the great utility
corporations.
He asked the people of Paterson to
remember what the big Public Serv-
ice monopoly in gas, electric light and
street railway traffic had been able
to do with their rates and their service
through the power they welded at
Trenton, and said the return of the
Republicans to power meant simply
that this same monopoly will get
back to Trenton with the same eff
frontery and arrogance 1t evinced in
the old days.
The former governor said his Re-
publican opponent, Stokes. could not
be trusted to carry out the party
platform pledges because he would
be tied hand and foot to the old gang
which is SO much in evidence in the
present campaign as his principal
bapkerS

AtIantic's Indicted Can't
Vote; Thomas, One of Them,
Omits Own Name in His Paper

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 50.-Hun-
dreds Of voters. Including Postmaster
Harvey Thomas, Louis Kuehnle, Re-
publican leader of Atlantic County,
and many of his leutenants, are
barred from voting at the coming
election through a proclamation issued
by Prosecutor Charles >. Moore, SON
in-law of United States Senator Till
man. Prosecutor Moore quotes Sec
ton Il of the general election law,
which bars as voters all persons ordi-
narily, under the law of 1874. barred
from giving testimony as witnesses
and found guilty of any of a number
of crimes. of which one is larceny of
anv amount more than Sc.
All who disobey the law are liable
to prosecution, Prosecutor Moore
says but, owing to the fact that law
yers disagreed heretofore on the law
he will not prosecute those who broke
the law in the past.
Those who are barred include those
who were indicted by the elisor and
other Grand Juries and who pleaded
non Vult to the charges against them,
it Is held That brings Mr.. Kuehnle
under the ban and many other Re
publican politicians prosecuted at the
same time. Mr.. Thomas, Wilson
appointee and editor of local news
paper, is also barred from voting. He
was indicted for criminal libel and
pleaded non vult to the charge. His
cpn paper yesterday chronicled the
fact that hundreds will be barred,
hut in given list his own name is
not included.
