FREED UNDER BOND
Lawyer Mindes Released After
Ten Hours in JaiI--No
Date for Hearing.

No date has been set for the hear
ing of the appeal taken before Su-
preme Court Justice Minturn last
night by Selick j. Mindes, a lawyer,
through his counsel, Conover Eng
lish, against the fine of $50 imposed
by Judge Hahn, in the Third precinct,
yesterday for contempt of court The
filing of the appeal and the deposit
ing of a bond of $1,000 allowed Mindes
to go free last night, after he had
been a prisoner for ten hours.
The lawyer steadfastly refused to
pay the fine, and said he would stay
in jail rather than pay it, even under
protest. Before taking the appeal be-
fore the Supreme Court Justice coun-
sci for Mr. Mindes tried to have
Judge Hahn take bond for the law
yer until the contempt proceedings
could be fought out, but the judge
refused to take the bond, contending
had imposed the fine for contempt.
Mr.. Mindes objected strenuously to
the courts proceedings in a trial of
assault and battery charges, made by
Patrolman Conrad Rauscher, of the
Third precinct, against Isaac Meyer
son. a storekeeper. He insisted upon
counter complaints being taken
against Rauscher and Captain Chris
tie. and finally refused to obey the
court. and drew down the fine for
contempt

not sure that he will accept the office
of collector of internal revenue for the

Dr. II. c. II. Herold, a Republican.

higher up in the political world, he
will not step into DR.. Herold's shoes.

JERSEY CITY. n. J., July 30.-The
committee appointed to plan the
financing of the gubernatorial cam
paign of Governor James F. Fielder
met and organized at the Governors
office in the Commercial Trust build
ing today. 1t was decided to make
appeal by letters to every democratic
voter in the State. with the excep-
ton of municipal, county or State
employees, for contributions of one
dollar or more.
George A. Viehmann, of New
Brunswick, was elected chairman;
John j. Treacy of Jersey City, treas
urer and Laurent T. Tonnele, of
Jersey City, was made secretary of

To Warn oflceholders.
The warning against the contribu-
tions by officeholders will be made
prominent part of the appeal for
funds. Nothing that would technically
or morally violate the Geran law
will be allowed to enter into the con-
duct of the campaign, the leaders
said
1t is expected by the finance COM
mittee that the voters who have ap-
parently so sincerely urged Fielder's
candidacy will likewise rally to his
financial support.
Governor Fielder is well pleased
at the attitude of the Hudson county
men who have been flocking to his
aid in large numbers all week. He
has been deluged with requests for
invitations for the coming governors
day on Friday at Sea Girt, which
has been set aside as Hudson day.
Special Day for Hudsonites.
So many Hudson Democrats want
to pay their respects to the execu-
tive that he is now arranging for
a special day for the Hudson delega-
tion besides the coming Friday. The
date will be announced later, as will
the date for a State day at the camp
when Democrats from all over the
state will visit the little White
House.
After approving the methods of
the finance committee, Governor
Fielder announced that he would
make a two weeks campaign In
South Jersey He will make an ad-
dress at the Monmouth county horse
show tomorrow and on Friday he
will be in the hands of his guests
at Sea Girt. HE will then rest up
until Tuesday, August 5, when he
will address the farmers agricul-
tural convention at New Brunswick.
The following day he will be at ,the
farmers picnic at Newton and on the
seventh he will make addresses at
the Flemington county fair.
After a rest he will tour Somer-
set county in an automobile on Au-
gust 10. making several speeches.
The next day he will address the
Long Branch chamber of commerce.

MAIL. AUTO HUR|!|. !! .F!D
FROM FERRY, SINKS
Jersey Central Boat Crashes
Into Pier and Machine
PIunges Through Gates.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., July 30
Loaded with flrst-class and registered
mail for New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, a new automobile mail truck
plunged to the bottom of the Hudson
river today from the, deck of the fer
ryboat Crawford, of the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey, when that ves-
sci crashed with terrific force into it's
slip here. Edward Condor, the chauf-
feur, had a narrow escape from be-
Ing carried into the river with the
machine.
Two hours after the accident n
diver was lowered to the automobile
and in two more hours thirty-six
bags of mall were brought to the
surface and taken to the Jersey City
postoffice to be dried and forwarded
Few of the letters, 1t is believed,
will reach their destination. as the
action of the salt water made the
addresses almost illegible.
The passengers were jolted about
and few of them fell. but none
vas hurt.

with a Madison road car early this
morning, recovered consciousness
shortly before noon today and with
1t came assurances from the attend

critical as at first thought. Benton
sustained a double fracture of the
jaw, concussion of the brain and null

lieve that he was not internally in

Even should he ultimately recover,
the physicians hold out no hope of
his being able to play ball again this

SAYS TARIFF BILL
is LABOR BETRAYER
Mclean Quotes Democratic
Leaders to Prove New Eng
land Promises Broken.

WASHINGTON, July 30.--Charging
that Democratic leaders have broken
their tariff promises made to the
working people of New England, be-
fore the last national election. Sena-
tor George p Mclean, of Connecti-
cut. assailed the Underwood Simmons
bill in the Senate today
Recounting the campaign in Cons
nectlcut directed particularly against
Representative Ebenezer Hill of the
ways and means committee, Senator
Mclean quoted from speeches made
by Majority Leader Underwood, Sec
retary of Commerce Redf1eld, Repre-
sentative Reilly and Governor 8. e.
Baldwin, whom he quoted as assur-
ing the mill workers that the Demo-
crate tariff would look after the diff
ferences in cost of production here
and abroad.
THE protection Democrats tried
to compromise with the free trade
Democrats, and this of course, is inn
possible" Senator Mclean continued.
You cannot compromise with the
arithmetic or the compass. You are
either there or you are not there.
If twenty per cent. does not protect,
ten per cent will not protect. My
complaint is that the Democratic
party has broken its sacred promise
to the people of Connecticut. This
l have shown from the lips of those
Democrats who alone had authority
to do the promising. If adequate
protection is found in any rate con-
tanned in this dill, it is there by ae-
cident only.
This bill has been described as a
glaring example of invisible and in
audible government. 1t is not the
way in which conclusions of the COM
mittee have been reached; il is the
effect of these conclusions that the
people of Connecticut are afraid of.
This bill may be an example of in
visible, and as the senator from
Iowa so aptly added the other day.
inaudible government, but it is a
sample of minority government in
complete betrayal of the promises
of that minority to the people of
Connecticut that object 70.

Mrs John H. Hanan, of New York,
Friday night
The $4,000 robbery in the home of
G. c. Rumsey, son-in-law of the late
E. II. Hartman. occurred on Satur-
day night
Reports that the Hanans had been
robbed were denied until today, when
Mrs. Hanan told the story of the
loss. Mr.. Hanan is seriously i'll and
has been kept in ignorance of the
robbery. An unwilllngness to disturb
him induced his wife to withhold the
facts until this time
Rare Black Diamonds.
The articles taken included a dia-
mond necklace, a pearl necklace, two
diamond encrusted watches, set of
star sapphires surrounded by dia-
monds, a pendant. a brooch and a
pair of rare black diamond earrings
surrounded by white diamonds.
A peculiar feature of the robbery
was that some particularly valuable
gems were left in the bureau drawer
from which the others were removed.
They could hardly have been over
looked, and this suggests that the
job was a hurried one.
She Seldom Wore the Jewels.
Mrs. Hanan seldom wears the jew
els and would not ordinarily have
had them at Shore Acres. They had
been brought over from New York at
time when she had expected to give
her annual reception to Governor
and Mrs. Pothier. The illness of Mr..
Hanan made 1t necessary to cancel
the function.
The 'ewelry was taken from Mrs.
Hanan boudoir few moments af-
ter she had left the house to attend
reception. The loss was discov-
cred within thirty minutes, but al
though three detective agencies have
been working on the case since Mon
day morning, no tangible clue has
been found.
Twenty-Five Servants in House.
Mrs Hanan said that the servants,
|
of whom there are about Twenty-Five,
had been eliminated in the investiga-
tion. With the exception of two but
lers who we're engaged this year. all
of those employed at Shore Acres
have been with the family for years.
The theory of motorboat thieves
also has been dismissed, as the water

state that the man Is not known there.
The Danbury police were furnished
with description of the victim, who
was so years old, but after a search
reported that no clue was found as
to his identity.
Authorities Puzzled.
This report merely complicates a
tangle which the police have con-
fronted since the discovery of the
murdered man yesterday morning, AT
his boarding-ho in Spring Lake 1t
was said that Harris volunteered the
information that he was ,stenogra-
pher and "A widower, and made his
home at Danbury, Conn. That is all
that is known about him and the po-
lice term him "a man of mystery"
The police believe that Harris was
a professional gambler and made a
practise of frequenting military en-
campments. 1t is thought he was

won in a lively game a few hours
before his death. When the body was
discovered less than 100 feet from
the summer home of Governor Fielder
small-calibred revolver was found
In his right hand Medical men have
testified that the three bullet wounds
in his body could not have been self
inflicted and the suicide theory had
to be abandoned.
Made Desperate Fight.
From the appearance of the ground
where the body was found 1t is be-
lieved that Harris made a desperate
fight for his life and when the bullet
wound in the knee did not halt him
his assailants shot him through the
temple.
A search is being made for wom-
an, described as a comely young per-
son and fashionably dressed, who was
seen in the company of Harris few
hours before he met his death. 1t is
said that the young woman lured
Harris to the place where his assas-
sins set upon him TO rob him of his
winnings at the gambling table.
An empty wallet was found twenty
feet away from the spot where Har-
ris fell. The police declare they have
evidence that Harris displayed his
pocketbook, filed with bills of large
denomination, earlier in the day,
and they have no doubt that robbery
was the motive for the killing.
