sentative Britten, of Illinois, today

his measures to provide a six7year
single term for the President and
vice. president, the abolition of nom
mating conventions. the choice of the
President and vice-president by pres
idential preference primaries and di-
rect elections, without the use of
electors.

ventions for nominating purposes,
but thought them necessary to draft
party platforms, and declared that
Mr.. Wilson approved presidential
primaries and direct election which
would shorten the ballot. On the six

ARREST 3 FOR SETTING
FIRE TO CUMBERLAND

TRENTON, N. j., May 2S.-That
the state forestry department will
vigorously prosecute the cases of
Richard and Henry Oeltzenbruns and
Ernest Warner, all of Atlantic coun-
Nv. charged with setting a fire that
swept the woods about Pleasantville,
burning an area of nearly 5000 acres,
was evidenced today when warrants
were taken and the three placed
under arrest. State Fire Warden
Charles P. WILDER preferred the
charges under the criminal law
rather than the forestry law, because
of the circumstances of the fires. The
three were taken before a justice of
the peace at Egg Harbor City and
held.

YOUNG BRIDE ENDS
HER LIFE TAKING GAS
Continued from First Pase.)


sixteen years. When their engage
ment was announced. the girl began
worrying over her lack of knowledge
in caring for a home. In order that
she might become accustomed to such
duties, the prospective husband fur
nished the apartments in which she
died several weeks before the mar
riage occurred and she busted herself
about the place during the day with
her husbands relatives.
This, however, failed to accomplish
the desired effect and she developed
a serious attack of melancholia, and
after three days of married life in
their home DR.. William H. Hicks. of
273 Clinton avenue, was called in and
pronounced the young woman's ILL
ness as being serious and advised
that she be relived of her household
duties.
| Mr.. Grobman prevailed upon his
mother-in-law to move to Newark SO
| that her daughter might live with her
| family and careful watch kept over
her, for fear that she might end her
| life. Accordingly the Farber family
moved to 1903 Avon avenue, where the
young bride made her home. But, for
the last few weeks all her talk con-
cerned suicide She declared to her
husband that she could not live and
often deplored the fact that druggists
would not sell her poison. On several
occasions she asked her husband how
long it would take gas to kill her
Her last threat was made to him Sun
day when she said that she was 60
ing to ride to the end of some trolley
car line and go into the woods and
starve herself to death.
Monday afternoon she went to the
Hunderton street house and there
met Mrs B. w. PLACER another ten
ane, and after begging Mrs. PLACER
to let her do something. in the way
of homework for her, she started to
enter her apartment. When Mrs.
PLACER tried to go in with her, she
prevented her by force. Finally
when she realized Mrs Players de-
termination not to leave her alone,
she abandoned the idea for the time
being. 4
Yesterday afternoon she babe her
mother goodbye and said that she
was going to visit her husbands sis
ter, but 1t Is believed that she was
aware thai Mrs. PLACER would be out
She Immediately went to her apart
ment. Going to the bathroom she
endeavored to close all crevices and
turned on the gas. She then lay
down on the floor fully dressed.
When Michael Gottnick, who has
an apartment in the same building
returned home, he detected the odor
of gas escaping from the Grobman
apartment and when he gained en-
trance to the place he found Mrs
Grobman lying on the bathroom
floor, dead. Thinking that there
might be chance to save her he
summoned DR.. Alfred Stahl, of 56F
Bergen street. but when he arrived
he pronounced the young woman
dead.
Mr.. Grobman, who is employed as
a designer by Allsop Brothers, jew
elry manufacturers. is distracted with

Authorizations to
Fight Battles Is J
Latest Invention

COPENHAGEN, May 2S.-The
dream of Danish engineer named
Aesen of seeing the next war
waged by automatons in place of
soldiers has developed into the
patenting of an invention which,
1t is claimed, would revelutionize
defensive tactics.
Aesen's contrivance is a cylinder
which may be buried in the ground
for years in the same fashion as
submarine mines are placed in
harbors doing no damage until
they are fired. The cylinder is
operated by electricity from
station four or five miles distant.
When a button is pressed the
cylinder jumps two feet from the
ground and fires 400 shots hori-
zontaIly, the shots being effective
at range of 1900 yards.
Aesen asserts that crops might
be grown over the automatons in
| time OF peace and thus they would
be so well hidden that the enemy
| would not know their position
\ until they started firing.

MARRIAGE OF DIVORCED
PERSONS in YEAR VALID

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 2S.-The
House Judiciary committee reported
favorably today bill validating all
marriages contracted by divorced
persons within one year from the
time of divorce.
The law prohibiting marriage of di.
vorced persons within one year after
the granting of a divorce was passed
in 1905. From that time until 1919
considerable confusion resulted over
the question whether marriages out
side the State within the year were
valid. Recently the Supreme Court
has held such marriages are void.

members of the present House of
Representative have committed
themselves in opposition to the Old
field bill
The New Jersey law was fathered
and pressed to passage by the same
interests that have been opposing the
Oldfield bill here. Similar laws have
been secured in several other States
by the same interests.
Representative Oldfield, of Arkan-
sas, said today that now that the Su-
preme Court has declared the prin-
ciple of his bill to be right he would
push it for passage as fast as pos
sible
Heretofore, the lower courts have
generally held that to sell patented
article below the price fixed by the
patentee was an infringement of the
patent right. The Supreme Courts
decision in the Bauer case complete
ly reverses this opinion.

LIPPINCQTT IS TOO
ACTIVE AS HERALD
Governor to Probe State Sec
retary's Press Agency Work
Boosting Wittpenn.
TFrom a stan Correspondent. ]

TRENTON, N. j.. May ga new
aspect is given to Assistant Seere-
tary of state Job H. Lippincott's ac-
tivities as press agent for Mayor
Wittpenn in the latters campaign
for the gubernatorial nomination now
that Governor Fielder has started
an investigation into charges that
the secretary of states office was
fast becoming the Wittpenn head
quarters and that clerks in that office
were being employed in getting out
political literature 70 boost Witt
penn.
One of the most remarkable things
attending the close of the special ses-
sion was that Mr.. Lippincott did not
issue statement telling what Mayor
Wittpenn thought about the accom-
plishment of the session. For long
period during the special session, and
also before it was held, Press Agent
Lippincott handed out daily state
ments for his chief, every possible OPP
portunity to create a little publicity
for the Jersey City Mayor being
jumped at, which means that Lippin-
colt is or the job every minute; that
is, on the press agents job.
Possibly the failure to have the
Mayor comment upon the Legisla-
lures close was occasioned by the
inquiries being made into the flood of
circulars and other campaign litera-
ture which was pouring out from the
Office of a State official. During the
i, proG
Agent Lippincott spent practically his
entire time in the lobby of either the
House or the Senate, being able ap-
parently to spare but little time to
his duties as assistant secretary of
state and commissioner of motor
vehicles, for which he receives from
the State a combined salary of $4,000
year.
The circulars which were sent
broadcast from here were unsigned,
and thus they violate the spirit, at
least, of the corrupt practises act,
which is specific in stating that such
political material must bear the sig
nature of those sending 1t out. The
excuse which has been advanced for
The failure to sign these circulars is
that so far Mayor Wittpenn has not
filed formal petition and. therefore,
is not yet amenable to the provisions
of the act.
Another thing noticed about the
circulars was that they bore a Tren-
ton trades union label, it having
been thought unnecessary to give the
work of printing them to printers in
the Mayors home city. Some of the
headings on the circulars were such
statements as "Wittpenn Challenges
the Old State Gang Hughes Is Out
for Wittpenn for Governor" and
"Wittpenn Gets Solid Backing of His
County," the last statement being one
of those things which are important
if true.
Secretary of Stae David s. Crater,
who is regarded as Wittpenn man,
says that he has been asked to in
vestigate the allegations that his
office was being turned into a press
bureau by his subordinates. He was
inclined to believe that what work
had been done in mailing and pre-
pairing the circulars had been done
by the clerks after their office hours.
and he was sure they were paid for
the extra work as private indi-
viduals.
