The career of Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley. who died a few
days ago at the age of so, was a
wonderful one. in length and va

distinguishing deeds. He was a

New York, March 3:-Tratfic on
the Pennsylvania railroad for the
west and south was badly demoral-
ized today by the result OF the blow
ing up of an engine of a train carry
ing Massachusetts, troops to the in
auguration, near Railway, ~ j., this
morning All of the special trains
that were waiting to be sent south
were held in the station yards.
Special wrecking crews were hurried
from Jersey City and South Amboy
to assist in getting the embargo
raised. Because the exploding en-
gine tore down telegraph wires the
general superintendent Office had
very little information, but It was
stated that 1t was believed the en-
gine was completely wrecked. No
theory of the disaster was forthcom-
ing here.
The wreck was especially un-
fortunate because of the elaborate
preparations the road had made for
moving it's special trains.

SAY IT is UP
TO THE POLICE
Matter Of Stopping Sac of
Liquor at Dances.

Excise commissioners put the stop
ping of sale Of liquors In dance halls
and elsewhere without license di-
rectly up to the police. They claim to
have control over licensed places
only. While the Board of Excise
commissioners takes exception to the
sale of liquors without
license, It's members claim to be
powerless to act. They contend that
it Is just as much a duty of the police
department to stop the sale of liquors
at dances where the place is not licen-
sed as it is to stop an individual from
selling in any store or other place in
the city. They point to the fact that
the police lose no time in closing a
place when a license in an ordinary
drinking place has expired and has
not been renewed. Their contention
is that liquor should not be sold
without a license anywhere within
the city limits, no matter what the oc
casion may be, and if it is, the police
should arrest the violators just as
they would arrest any other law
breakers.
AS has been told, Chief of Police
Patrick j. Burke blames the govern
ment for failure to apprehend per
sons who violate the laws by selling
liquors without license at dance
halls. He maintains it is up to gov
ernment agents to stop the practice
and bring violators to justice. Never
theless, he has armed dance hall prop
theless, he learned dance hall prop
liquor to be sold in their places with

NOT SOLID FOR
WITTPENN HERE.
Prominent MiddIessx Demo-
Gratis Whooping 1t up for
Fielder at His Inauguration
RAMSAY AND STRICkER
Both We're Prominent in the
Crowd of Politicians at
the State Capital.

While it is generally admitted that
the declaration of CONGRESSMAN
Scully IN favor of Mayor Otto Witt
penn, OF Jersey City, for the guber-
material nomination, put Middlesex
in the Wittpenn column, yet there
are signs of dissension within the
ranks, IT the showing made at Field
er's inauguration at Trenton Satur-
day Is any indication. Among the
most enthusiastic wearers OF Fielder
badges was Senator William e.
Ramsay, while Assistant Prosecutor
Joseph E. Stricken was doing his
share OF lobbying In the interest Of
the Fielder boom. MIR. Stricken re-
turned from Washington, Saturday,
Just too late to witness the inaugur-
al. He congratulated Governor
Fielder, however, and then took
Judge Terhune. OF Matawan. out to
luncheon.
Senator Ramsay was not the only
senator wearing Fielder boom
badge, and perhaps 1t was only out
of senatorial courtesy that it was
displayed. Nevertheless. it caused
considerable speculation among the
Middlesex representatives. The Mid
dlesex county senator greeted his
many visitors on Saturday with
pleasing grace and had his good
right hand extended for every man
from down home.
Assistant Prosecutor Stricken has
been engaged for number of days
on a legal matter in Washington,
with Prosecutor George S. Silzer.
During his stay at the capital Mr..
Stricken met many prominent gentle
men, including August Belmont, and
returned home with many pressing
invitations for inaugural week In
Washington. He does not expect to
attend the ceremonies. There ap-
pears to be no doubt about Mr.
Stricker's stand on the gubernatorial
race within "the ranks this year;
he IS all Fielder, unless former Sena-
tor Silzer decides to enter the many
sided contest. Mr.. Silzer has re-
NAMED non-committal. Hr. Stricken
has known Governor Fielder for
years, and, therefore, is partial to
his cause.
Other prominent Middlesex county
men at Trenton Saturday were Sur
rogate Daniel w. Clayton, of Gran
bury: Director Peter II. S. Hendricks
and Anthony Gebhardt, of the Board
Of Froeholders; and City Collector
Richard F. White, Of Perth Amboy
There was the notable absence OF
Assemblymen George L. Burton. OF
New Brunswick, and John P. Kirk
patrick, of Jamesburg, from the cele-
bration. They were not at the State
House during the day, so far as their
friends could ascertain. William II
Boylan, of New Brunswick. viewed
the ceremonies before continuing to
the big inaugural In Washington.
Others present from Middlesex were:
John z. Rielley and Walter Rielley,
of Perth Amboy; Councilman John
&c. Cozzens, County Committeeman
William S. Sawyer. and Fred W. De
Voc, of Spotswood.

Princeton, March 3:-Priyate
Citizen Woodrow Wilson, ex-presi-
dent of Princeton University, eX-
governor of New Jersey and tomor-
row to be the President of this re-
public, bade a final farewell to his
townspeople here today. 1t was a
most remarkable demonstration and
there were honest tears OF regret Oh
the features of the next President of
the United States as he listened to
the cheering and songs by the towns
people who crowded about the sta
ton and wished him Godspeed. AS
he has done every time he has start
ed out on long journey, the Presi-
dent-elect packed his own bag imme-
diately after breakfast One thing
which he handled lovingly was the
little scarf pin bearing the coat of
arms of the United States on shield
which he will aflix to his necktie
Immediately after taking the oath of
Office and which will remain every
day during his term.
The President-elect is a tribe su-
perstitious about this and as presi-
dent Of Princeton wore the coat of
arms of the university; as governor
of New Jersey he wore the great seal
of the state engraved on gold disk.
The departure Of the Wilson fam
ily from their home on Cleveland
Lane was an exclusively under
graduate affair. A delegation of
fifteen students marched to the
house singing songs Of Old Nassau"
The President-elect was in a cheer
ful rao"d O'hap he boarded the parlor
car that had been reserved for the
use OF himself and his party. Ahead
were eight coaches fille1 with college
boys and another occupied by the
newspaper correspondents.

was something decidedly humorous
