Republicans Said to Have
New Slogan Calculate Young
Candidates Would Succeed
HOT FIGHT LOOKED FOR
AT COMING PRIMARIES
Emil Stremlau Mentioned as
Candidate for Nomination
of Alderman at Large.

Young men for office" is said to
be the slogan of the Republican city
organization as they cast around for
prospective city candidates to seek
the partys nomination at the primary
September 23. Young. aggressive
business men they want to bear their
banner in the coming campaign. An
elderly man appeals to voters of his
own age, but young man would
capture votes of all ages, they CalcU-
late
With the Progressive party having
already nominated more than half Of
their local candidates, 1t has become
evident to the old line Republicans
that there will be no fusion, at least
on primary candidates, and most
likely not after the primaries. Tho
Progressives seem to take the stand
that If any amalgamation is done
that the Republicans will have to do
it. And If any combined support ID
wanted for local Offices the Republi-
cans will have to get behind the
bandwagons of the candidates which
the Bull Moosers have and Will
nominate.
Such an unconditional surrender
would be above the city Republican
party, 1t is believed, and so to with
stand the onslaught that might be
occasioned by three-cornered fight,
which is likely to be on for all local
offices, the Republicans are proceed
ing slowly in selecting men for their
endorsement, and are trying to agree
on one strong man for each elective
office on whom there will be no petty
split within their own party.
Though no endorsement for any
candidate Is expected before the
meeting of the Young Mems Republi-
can Club August 7, among the names
that the organization is reported as
considering is that of Lawyer Emil
Stremlau to seek the nomination eor
alderman-at-large e. j. Peterson,
for excise commissioner, is the only
candidate who has publicly declared
himself to be contending for the Re-
publican nomination for local
office. 1t is practically certain that
ex-Assemblyman John f. TenBroeck
will not be the Republicans dark
horse for alderman-at-large as it is
not believed that he would consider
accepting such honor.

BOYS STAND
HELPLESS As
LAD DROWnS
Seven Year Old Andrew 10th
Meets Death While Bathing
in koasbsy Pond.
LITTLE PLAY MATES TOO
FRIGHTENED To AID

While bathing IN Butchers Pond
at eKasbey this morning seven year
old Andrew 10th went beyond his
depth, and before the eyes of several
frightened companions, who stood
near helpless and frightened, the
boy rose to the surface three times
and was drowned in the water hols
which was formerly a clay pit. His
playmates, like himself, did not
know how to swim, and being awed
at the sight for a time were unable
to move or call for help. Joseph
Fitzgerald, of the Raritan River
Clay Company, happened to pass by
on his way from the plant to the clay
banks, and saw that something un-
usual was happening at the swim
ming hole. He then went to the pool
and plunged into the water and
dragged the drowned child to the
shore. Coroner James j. Flynn was
notified and viewed the body.
Butchers Pond is the customary
bathing rendezvous for the youth Of
Keasbey, and Andrew with several
companions, went down to the pond
about 10 o'clock. They had been
playing in the pond only a short
time, when little Andrew summoned
courage and plunged out into the
middle.
When Andrew sank three times
and failed to again come up the boy s
companions, who had been fright
ened to the side of the pool, were
non plussed and could not even cry
for help. Several ran home, as soon
as they could. The boy had been at
the bottom Of the pond but a short
while when Mr.. Fitzgerald happen
ed along After getting the boys
body to the shore, he covered him
with the clothes that the lad had
left on the bank, and left the corpse
in charge of a policeman until the
arrival of the coroner. whom they
could not get in communication with
for about one-half an hour.
Mrs. 10th was rotified that her
boy was drowned. and when she
reached the swimming hole before
the arrival of the coroner, she tainted
alongside of the body. 1t was re-
moved to the home Immediately after
the arrival of the coroner.

lected for the position. He could
not be reached before going to press

When there was agitation concern
ing Mr.. Cannon receiving the plum

that the county clerk would fore
stall his chances to remain In his
present position for long term of
years to accept that of internal rev.
enue collector, which is dependent
on the politics of the party in power.
Mr.. Cannon has a strong following
iu Middlesex and 1t is believed he
will seriously consider sacrificing his
present position for one which might
be of more trans1tory nature.
Mr.. Cannon was recommended to

LEGISLATURE
WILL CONVENE
ON AUGUST 5
Called to Remedy Defect in
Welsh Act as Applied In
Jersey City.
PLAN TO PASS BILL AND
ADJOURN PROMPTLY
ypeoial to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Jersey City, July 29.-As a result
Of a conference held in Governor
Fielder's law Office here yesterday af-
ternoon, it was decided to call spec
ial session of the legislature to be
held next Tuesday, August 5, to pass
a bill validating the Commissioner
Government Act, so far as it pertains
to the vote based on the average vote
of the assembly ticket.
The proposed bill will be printed
and sent to the members of the Sem
ate and Assembly, possibly by We'd
nesday or Thursday, so that they will
be familiar with the act when the
session Is called to order.
1t is proposed to meet at II noon
and to suspend the rules so that the
act may be adopted In short order.
No other legislation will be consid-
cred at the special session, and 1t
Is expected that the bill will be pass
ed and signed by Governor Fielder
within an hour, so that every legis-
lator will be able to leave for home
after lunch.
The validating act is made neces-
that were started in Jersey City, to
wipe out Commission Government
after it had been adopted by a ma
jority of vote that represented
over thirty per cent of the average
vote of the Assembly at the last elec-
ton.
The wording of the bill is ambig-
uous If not misleading, and it is to
establish Commission Government in
the manner that the voters thought
they were establishing it that the
Governor has decided TO call the spe-
cial session.
This will be the second special
session called by Governor Fielder
this year, the previous one having
been to pass the jury reform bill in
order to keep faith, with the promises
Of the party platform Of last fall,
Session TO Cost $50.
1t is said that the entire expense
of holding the special session will
not amount to over $50.
Governor Fielder issued a state
ment in which he said that the peo-
pie of Jersey City had adopted Com
mission Government by a majority
vote of over 1000, and that for that
reason they are entitled to give that
form Of government fair trial.
He said that the contesting pro-
ceedings are based simply upon q
technicality. He referred to the fact
that the proceedings were instituted
by persons who formerly held office,
and in the interests of persons who
participated in the election.

Washington, July ga campaign
for investigation of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo's charges that New
York banks are consplring to defeat
the administration currency bill was
launched today by Representative
Henry, of Texas, insurgent member
of the House banking committee.
81 am sure Mr. McAdoo literally

investigate these specific charges.
The secretary of the treasury and
the head of every bank in New York

up and down prices of United States
bonds and control the financial des-

The storm In its entirety was
freakish. Although there came
sprinkle of rain as early as 3 o'clock,
the storm did not descend until about
O'Clock in most places. Black
clouds came from the west and huge
drops of rain spattered the sidewalks,
after which there was a heavy and
steady downpour lor sometime.
There was not much lightning and
hardly any thunder. What light
ming there was was very sharp and
vivid. Intense humidity coupled with
a high degree of heat made it eX-
tremely uncomfortable.
Beyond the flooding of some
streets, caused by the blocking of
numerous receiving basins, the fall
ing of limbs from trees and some
damage to telephone, telegraph and
electric lighting lines, there is no
evidence of other storm damage
within the city limits. The lightning
prevented some of the policemen
from sending In calls over the police
call system during the latter part
of the afternoon. The damage OF
sending in alarms on the police and
fire alarm systems during lightning
storms Is being eliminated by work
now underway by City Electrician
Jay B. FRANKIE and his assistant.
They are installing new wire, new
pipe lines on poles and placing insu-
lators at the top of all boxes, so as
to prevent any electric current from
entering boxes excepting through the
regular lines.

Sayreville found 1t to be one Of
the heaviest electrical storms ever in
that section. There was just one
clap of thunder with flashes of light
ming one after another for about half
an hour, beginning at 3.15 O'Clock
and continuing until 3.45 o'clock. In
dications are that Sayreville was in
the midst of the storm. Slight dam
age was caused by bolts of lightning
to the homes of Andrew Hahn, Frank
Check and Carl Betzler. Mr. Checks
daughter, Miss Katherine Check, was
knocked unconscious and remained
senseless for nearly an hour. When
revived she suffered considerably
from shock Her face was slightly
marked. At the Jayre and Fisher
Enamel Brick Works, bolt went
through the roof, causing a hole
about a foot in diameter. After
passing through the roof the light
ming spread and made two large
holes in the ground at the base of a
large chimney. One was ibout three
feet deep and the other two feet.
A large chimney was struck at the
fire brick department of the works,
taking off just one layer of brick,
about ten feet up and two feet wide.
Some of the bricks were driven
through a skylight, but outside of
broken glass there was TO other dam
age. At yard No IA, near South
River large chimney was struck.
The damage was slight. A flag pole
at the Sayre and Fisher works was
also struck and damaged.
The rain came down in torrents fer
sometime and inside of half an hour
the machine shop at the Sayre and
Fisher plant was flooded with water
about a foot deep. Water was about
two feet in the blacksmith shop and
damage was caused by water in the
foundry, where the men had just
completed moulding for the day. The
rain washed a large amount of sand
over trolley rails at La Forge's cor
ner, causing traffic to be hampered.
Awnings on the Townley residence
at the same place were blown away
by wind.
