IN DOUBT OVER
ORGANIZATION
Democrats Have Prob
With Board of Alder

Democratic city leaders are n.er-
ally up in the air" today regarding
the organization of the Board of
Aldermen tonight. While it seemed
to have sifted down to John j.
Clark for president, the leaders hes
itate about naming him, although it
now looks as if it was the only
thing to do. Neither Aldermen
Sandbeck nor Seaman will take the
place. Kutcher also refuses the
honor There IS likewise much spec
ulation and doubt over the appoint
ment of committees. One member
stated today this would probably be
threshed out to the meeting tonight.
1t was learned that several council
propositions were discussed at con-
ference of Democrats yesterday.
Regarding the appointment OF
man to succeed Edwin G. Fraser, as
water commissioner, little can be
learned. 1t was stated at city hall
today that 1t still looks as though
Mr.. Fraser would be reappolnted.
The board stands four Democratic
and two Republicans, but Alderma
Seamon, one of the Democrats
members, is free lance, III

Washington, Jan. 6.-"The con-
scienceless tyranny of those control

rible retaliation against the society
This was the bitter summary of the
dynamite case made today by Presi-

of the Clayton bill regulating labor

'For six years the fight went on, :"
he said describing the fight of the

Judge Andersen for his alleged par

his facuous remarks in sentencing

Adamski, who lives at 599 Cort-
landt street, worked on the Lehigh
Valley coal docks, where he was
generally known as Adams" He
worked ell Saturday night at his
usual occupation, which was to
handle coal screenings on the lower
floor of shipping dock A. 1t is sup
posed he was not on hand at the
quitting hour, but he was not miss
ed by fellow workers.
When found about o'clock cling
ing to a pile in last determined
effort to save his life, he was nearer
dead than alive. He had been in the
water about an hour and was losing
his senses because of cold and ex-
haustion. The rescue tug happened
along in &he nick of time, it seems.
The victim was taken aboard. He
was taken to Donovan's dock and
given in charge of Patrolman Steed.
Together with Patrolman Tonnesen
he took Adamski to DR.. Meinzer's
office for treatment and then to the
hospital.
There the man raved. He refused
to be attended and his clothing had
to be cut from his body against his
will. Patrolman Tonnesen held
him while officer Steed cut off the
water-soaked garments. A nurse
gave the victim a drink of liquor as
a stimulant. He spit it in her face.
DR.. ]. l.. Lund gave him medical at
tendance at the institution. He
found his pulse was 101.
1t is not known how Adamski
came to go overheard. 1t is pre-
sumed he fell from the lower floor
of the shipping dock. Lehigh Valley
officials have tried in vain TO learn
from fellow workmen how the acct
dent occurred.

An expression of opinion of Pc
ter A. Peterson, head of the Civic
Union, as to how the saloon prob
lem should be handled, has been
sent to members of the new board
of Excise Commissioners. He is in
sympathy with the reduction senti-
ment, would bar women from being
attendants in and patronizing sa
looms and favors raising retail IL
cense fee from $3.50 to $3.50 or $500
year. His idea of cutting down
the number of drinking places is not
to weed them out indiscriminately,
but to take licenses away as their
privileges are abused. One Of those
privileges, which is to sell liquor to
habitual drunkards, he would have
removed. He would have the rules
and ordinance changed SO that LID

Trenton, Jan. Gust how far
will the "get together" move of the
Republicans and Progressives that
was launched here Saturday succeed? :?
This question Is being actively dis
cussed today in state political circles
and the discussion is largely due to
the fact that Progressive Republican
State League was organized despite
the emphatic declarations of the
Progressive leaders that they would
not cooperate with the Republicans.
1t will be remembered too, that the
Progressives held a meeting in the
Hotel Sterling here not so many
weeks ago, at which former Cover
nor Fort presided and which was at
tended, by Edmund B. Osborne, Geo.
L. Record, James G.. Blauvelt and
other party leaders, besides nearly
100 other Progressives from all sec
tions of the state. At this meeting
it was insisted that tho Progressive
party had won its spurs as the Sec
ond political organization in the
state, and IL there WAS to be any re-
uniting the Republicans would have
to come into their camp. At that
meeting arrangements were made for
opening campaign headquarters, and
other plans were launched absolute
ly Independent of all thought of any
afflliation between the two factions.
The league was organized Saturday
afternoon without the presence of
any of the big leaders of either fac
ton. True, former Governor Stokes
made speech, but he arrived late
and took no part in the organization,
Former Assemblyman William De La
Roche Anderson, of Somerset county
under whose call the meeting took
place, claimed that one of the pur-
poses of the organization was the
elimination of the old-time veteran
leaders, or bosses, to use plain ian
guage, but there is considerable
speculation today as to how far the
harmony plan will get If the bis
leaders work against 1t.
Former Governor Stokes spoke
strongly in favor of amalgation and
has advocated it all along. Former
Governor John w. Griggs, State Sem
ator John Dvneley Prince and other
Republican leaders have also de-
cIared in favor of mending the par
ty breach, but the Progressive lead
ers have made no such overtures. 1t
was the talk around the State House
today that the harmony movement
shonld be extended to the leaders OF
the two parties If the Republican
party is to be saved.
Former Assemblyman Anderson
was chosen president Of the League
temporarily, and Captain Harry G.

REPUBLICANS FORM A
PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE
TO HARM0N|zE PARTY
Politicians Of All Parties Watching
Outcome Of "Cet-T -Topether Meeting
Of Both Factions in Trenton.
NEW LEADERS AND PRINCIPLES

Kramer, of Camden, was made Sec
retary. Anderson is a Republican
with Progressive tendencies, while
Kramer is a Roosevelt Progressive.
John J. Coyle, Hudson county Pro-
gressive, was first nominated for Sec
retary, but refused to serve owing to
lack of time to attend to the duties.
1t was decided to incorporate the
league. 1t was the predominant
sentiment that unless the two Re
publican factions get to gether, the
Democrats would continue victorious
In the state. The attendance was
small, but Mr.. Anderson stated that
most of the absentees had sent word
that they were interested and would
ratify what was done.
The plan of the new league is to
sink differences between the Repub-
licans and Progressives on state is-
sues and the state ticket on the
theory that Colonel Roosevelt is not
an issue in New Jersey. Both the
Regulars and Progressives present
agreed that this was the better policy
How far they will be able to put the
plan into effect remains to be seen.
The Progressives are already plan
ming their campaign and there is talk
of former Governor Fort, Edmund B.
Osborne, former Senator Everett Col
by and others as candidates for the
nomination for Governor. Unless the
leaders recede from their position
they will not put aside a real Prog
-ressive candidate for Governor and
accept a regular Republican, though
he may claim to stand for progress
sive measures and policies.
The formation of the league COM
posed Of members of both factions
has renewed talk of former Cover
nor Stokes as a compromise candi-
date for Governor and one around
whom both factions could consistent
ly rally. Mr.. Stokes refuses to say
whether he would run again for
Governor. All the statement he will
make is that he is not seeking the
nomination. 1t is we'll known that
he aspires to be United States SEN
ator, but several of his friends said
today that the thought he might de-
eide to seek another term as Cover
nor if an insistent call came from
both the Republicans and Progress
sives.
Both factions OF the Republicans
are pleased at the prospect of a bitter
fight in the Democratic ranks for the
nomination for Governor because
they believe that the fiercer the con-
test wages between the Governor and
his followers and the Smith-Nugent
forces, the better 1t will be for Re-
publican success provided the two
factions hang together.

HIGH SCHOOL CLASS PLAY.
One that Redounded 10 the Credit of
the Institution, the Teachers and
the Pupils Taking Part.

This interesting event, associated per
custom with the closing of the years
work of the Mineral Point High School,
was staged by the senior class at st.
Mary's hall Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings OF this week.
The title Of the play was Brown of
Harvard for which a royaly had to be
paid AS stated last week. it is a
strong play. full of action and spirit,
one in fact which few high school grad
yates could successfully handle. To
master it requires the best of stage
talent and equipment, While it was a
foregone belief that the teachers and
graduates would put forth every effort
at their command to provide a salts
factory entertainment. the pleasing
surprise was the supereXcellence of the
management and rendition of the in
tricate play. To accomplish this re-
quired much time and drilling, careful
thought and study.
The entire class of thirty-siX partici-
pated in the play All did well, espec-
tally those personating the leading char
acters. Splendid self-control dispelIed
all semblance of stage fright, while
there were eruptions of dramatic talent
that would be credtable TO older and
more pretentious actors.
Lack of space and technical tact on
the Trbune's part exclude personal
mention. That any other class in the
history Of the school could have done
better is questionable.
To Professor Loveland and his corps
OF assistants, and TO the studious, per-
severing makeup Of the members of
the class, all credit is due.
