block away to purchase food for the
noon-day meal.
Patrolman Connell noticed the
smoke sitting out through the sash of
a window After turning in an alarm.

the house. Neighbors told him that
Mrs. Skoluski had probably left her
children upstairs The policeman.
after rushing up the two flights of
stairs, had to throw his body against
the door to get into the apartments,
Cropping through the smoke laden
room, aided by the flames burning
along the edge of the crib, he found
the two children. Wrapping them in
his coat. he carried them to safety
The mother arrived after the fire
engines had put out the blaze. She
was overcome with joy al 1indinE the
two youngsters with neighbor across
the street. Policeman Connell is
noted as a local athlete. Several years
ago he was a star basketball player.

JERSEY CITY, Feb. 1.-THE fol-
lowers of Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn of
Jersey City, are in state of con-
sternation today. for Acting Governor
James f. Fielder, of Hudson county,
Is candidate for Governor.
Senator Fielder made this an
nouncement last night in the pres
ence of 400 diners at the annual din
ner of the Brotherhood of Grove Re-
formed Church, of New Durham. Mr..
Fielder. In part, said.
Il have served in the Assembly and
Senate of this great State. and l feel
after eight years of service that
should retire from political life.
II appreciate the honor of the great
once of Governor of New Jersey.
do not belittle this office enor blind
my eyes to the opportunity that is
mine or may be mine at the present
time
"But really and earnestly, and |
want you to believe mel do not de-
sire the office.
Il do feel, however, that it is every
mans duty to respond when the
State calls him. / do not believe that
any man is big enough to refuse a
call when it comes TO him distinctly.
IF the people of this State are
convinced that 1t is my duty to put
aside my personal desire and make
what l think a sacrifice of my own
wishes then when the call is present.
ed to me it is my duty to give my
careful consideration to those people
to whom am bound by every tie OIL
friendship and tl1ankfulness for their
past favors."
The Wittpennites have for some
time past been fearful of the an
norncement of the candidacy of MT.
Fielder, who has as strong follow
ing in Hudson county as Mr. Witt
penn. and they (the Wittpennites)
recognize the great popularity OF
Fielder in practically every county OF
the State, while Mr.. Wittpenn is prec-
tically not known outside of Hudson
county.
Fielder Has No Enemies.
It is also argued that Wittpenn is
a politician and has made a great
many enemies in Hudson, while Fiel-
der has no enemies and will stand
on his record as member of the
Assembly and Senate.
4 Political friends of Mr.. Wlttpenn'
Swho were ready to come out and in
4dorse his candidacy. as did United
Estates Senator-elect William Hughes,
are today on the anxious seat. for
they recognize that the candidacy
of Fielc.sr will meet with the popular
approval of the. people of Hudson
county. and 1t is predicted that, at
the primaries, Fielder will have
safe majority over Wittpenn in this
county. which is admitted as the only
county that will give Wittpenn any
kind of support.
Il Wittpenn Foreigner to Essex
In Essex county Fielder is very well
known and liked and Wittpenn, on
the other hand, is not known.
Governor Wilson is very fond OF
Mr.. Fielder, and it is said that before
4 Fielder announced his candidacy the
governor was going to put his 0. K.
on the Wittpenn boom.
The complications are such now
that it is understood he will take no
hand in the coming open guberna-
torial fight

Railroads Fails to Yield
to Mediation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Notwith-
standing assurances that further con-
ferences looking to a settlement were
to be held, it became evident today
that the deadlock between the rail-
roads of the East and their $4,000
firemen is more acute than at any
time since the negotiations were
opened. At noon federal med.ators,
irving to bring both sides together,
admitted that they had no further
appointments for parleys, and IT was
thought probable that they would re-
turn to Washington tonight, unless
there were developments during the
afternoon.
The conference committee of rail-
road managers went into secret ses-
sion early this morning, the firemen's
representatives remained at their
hotel. Neither side would yield an
inch. While the mediators would
make no statement. it is known that
thew regard the situation as grave
The strike order. which, if circu-
lated. would call out within forty
eight hours the firemen of fifty-four
lines in the East, had already been
printed, and is in the hands of w. S.

states commissioner of labor. arrived
in the city today to assist, II possible.

Orders had been given to The gov

trate Difficulty.

tor of Trinity Church. who presided

duty of the ministers to be mediators
in the matter and in accordance with
this opinion, not only the strikers had

former State Senator Colby and had
secured from him affidavits concern

the complete report
DR.. Charles A. Rosenwasser, presi-
dent of the recently organized Gar
u,ent Contractors Association. ex-
pressed his displeasure at printed

responsible, and stated most emphat-
icallv that they are responsible. He
went over the agreement drawn by
the contra etors IN minute detail, and
stated that the contractors are per
fectlv willing to arbitrate all ques-
tions involved but added that the
minimum wage scale was 8. question
which It would take some time TO
settle definitely.
Bernard Abrams, national organizer
Of the Garment Workers. took excep-
tion at several remarks, after which
both he and DR. Rosenwasser were
questioned by the ministers.
After considerable discussion 1t was
finally. voted by the conference that
the question Of arbitration should be
