WILL ADOPT NEW RULES
FOR STATE AUDITING
Cooperation of All Depart
ments Is Urged at Meeting.

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 30.-The
heads of the various State institutions
met in quarterly conference today
with Commissioner of Charities and
Corrections Joseph p. Byers. John j.
Nevin, of Jersey City, connected with
the State Department of Accounts,
which was recently consolidated with
the Comptrollers Department, was
called into the conference to discuss
with the superintendent methods of
cooperation with the new system of
auditing.
Mr.. Nevin made objection to the
form of advertising in use In some OF
the institutions. first, on the ground
that the advertisements did not make
sufficiently clear the character of the
supplies upon which proposals were
invited, and, secondly, that the hour
at which the proposals were to be re-
ceiyed must be plainly stated, the
practise having grown up in certain
institutions not easily accessible of
advertising that they would receive
bids until a certain hour. The SUI
perintendents heartily agreed to Mr..
Nevin's suggestions.

SINK TUNNEL SECTION

: NEW YORK. Aug. Boa difficult
engineering feat was executed yes
terday by Contractors Olaf Hoff and
Arthur Mcmillan, when the first
section of the Lexington avenue sub
way tunnel. a tube 200 feet long and
weighing $50 tons, was sunk in the
Harlem River. off 135th street.
The giant section of steel tubing
was fioated from 1929 street, towed
out into the river, swung over a
trench dug out by dredges, then
gradually lowered.
While the process of sinking the
tubes from the surface of the water
to solid ground beneath the mud at
the bottom of the river is not new,
there has never been undertaken q
task presenting the difficulties of that
begun today.
The tunnel, when completed, will
be 1880 feet long, and will consist
of four parallel tubes one for each
track. The method of building elimi-
mates the use of compressed air. The
cost exceeds 100000.

FUSION NOMINEES
SPURN 7. R. ADVICE
Seven Refuse to Follow His
Counsel to Reject Tam
many o. K.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Several days
of confusion in the ranks of the
Fusionists fighting to overthrow
Tammany in the coming mayorality
campaign were brought to an excit-
ing climax late yesterday. when
the advice of ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt was fiouted by seven can
didates for places on the Board OF
Estimate.
When his advice was turned down
at a conference of the seven candi-
dates with Colonel Roosevelt and
Fusion leaders, the ex-President left
the meeting, declaring that Fusion
was demoralized; that it was beyond
him to give any further advice, and
that he was out of the campaign.
This split in the Fusion forces was
caused by the question as to whether
any of them should accept indorse-
ment by any party other than the
Fusionists. The seven candidates met
earlier in the day and appointed
George McAneny, candidate for Pres
ident of the Board of Aldermen, as
their spokesman. They also decided
that it was up to each man to de-
termine whether he should accept any
place on either the Tammany or
Gaynor ticket
The issue had been brought out
sharply in the morning when John
Purroy Mitchell, fusion candidate for
Mayor, refused to accept the in
dorsement of the independence
League because that organization
had refused to indorse his running
mates, McAneny and Prendergast.
Then a conference was called at the
Harvard Club to determine whether
the fusion candidates should stand by
Mitchell and make their fight on ths
fusion ticket only.
Colonel Roosevelt made a personal
plea to the fusion candidates to stand
by Mitchell. 1t failed. McAneny told
the colonel that District Attorney
Whitman had accepted a place ON
the Tammany ticket, that he had
been offered a place on the Gaynor
ticket and that Mitchel's action did
not bind his mates on the fusion
ticket. Colonel Roosevelt answered
that Whitman had ruined his career
by accepting Tammany's indorse-
ment and that if the other fusion
nominees followed the district at
torney's lead it would show that they
just wanted to get into office.
While Roosevelt was fighting a los
ing battle Mitchell was comforting
with his chief supporters on methods
of holding the fusion nominees in
line. The situation here had devel-
oped into a wild scramble with
many of the candidates jumping any
way the wind blows to get support.

MRS. BALDWIN IS
INJURED IN FALL
WelI-Known Bloomfield Wom-
an Still Unconscious from
Injury.

Mrs. Edward w. Baldwin, of 500
Broad street, Bloomfield, is confined
to her home with injuries received
yesterday, when she plunged head
foremost down fight of stairs and
landed unconscious at the bottom.
The accident was caused by a servant
leaving a whiskbroom on the stair
way. Captain Theodore e. Jones, a
letter-carrier. blew his whistle, and
Mrs. Baldwin, who was upstairs at
the time, in her haste to get the
mail stepped on the whiskbroom.
Mrs. Baldwin was picked up by
Captain Jones and placed on a couch,
while DR.. Morgan d. Hughes was
summoned. She is still unconscious
and 1t is believed that her skull is
fractured, although an operation will
have to be performed to determine
that fact. This will be done today
if possible. Her condition today was
serious. Mrs. Baldwin is well-known
in church and society circles in
Bloomfield and is a member of the

WED|N WILL NOT
DISTURB HARMONY
Refuses to Run for State Conn.,
mitteeman Against Con-
gresham Kinkead.
IFrom a stan Correspondence

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Aug. 30.-For
a little while yesterday 1t looked as II
the harmony program arranged last
night by the anti-Wittpenn forces
when A. NJ. Henry withdrew from
the contest for member OF the stare
Committee in favor of Congressman
Eugene F. Kinkead would be upset.
Sheriff N. p. Wedin, who does not
like Kinkead and who is one OF the
-Wittpenp leaders, did not ike
the idea of Kinkead being indorseo
by the county committee after Henry
had withdrawn from the race, and ne
declared that If not else would make
the fight against Kinkead he would
do so himself.
After consulting some of his friends
the sheriff announced that he was
candidate for the State Committee
membership. A petition was circu-
lated and it soon had the necessary
100 signatures. Then the other anti
Wittpenn leaders got busy. They
pleaded with Wedin not to smash
the harmony program and after TAX
ing the matter under advlsement he
concluded that 1t would be unfair
for him to go into the race under the
circumstances.
1t required all the eloquence of AS
semblyman Thomas F. Martin. who
is the anti Wittpenn candidate for
Senator. to convince the sheriff that
his candidacy would tend to injure
his (Martin's) chances of success. AS
Wedin is a warm friend of Martin,
the argument had weight. When
Wedin destroyed the petition that
had been signed putting him In the
race there was a sigh of relief from
the Wittpenn forces. The Witt
penn machine, which had been trying
for several days to divide the oppo-
sition. was disappointed.

INPERATOR IS NO
PALACE FOR
CREW

With all the marvels that the I'M
peTator boasts, the great Hamburg-Anl-
tFican liner and her managers do not
meet the views of her crew; net by a
far sight. according to the story that
comes from New York.
More than 100 of them held mass
meeting and certified that that pala.
tial liner is anything but a palace to
them. In Imperial Hall, Hoboken,
they passed resolution calling ON the
officials of the line to relieve condi-
tons which the crew say no human
being should be called on to endure.
According to the protest the quar-
tiers of the crew are oyercrowded and
insanitary. They say men often have
TO stand in line for an hour before
they can get to one of the sinks for
a wash; that there are at least forty
men in some quarters where lockers
are provided for only four.
Shifts are worked with one hour
lest, but the stewards, pastry cooks.
trimmers and firemen say they have
no place to rest when the time comes.
And then there is the matter of
food Sometimes. it is asserted the
fare is unfit to eat, Nwhile the accomo-
dations in the mess are poor.
While the ship is in port, the sea-
men say, they are asked to work !6
hours day. They want nine-hour
limit. Another complaint is that the
present rule of the company compel
ling members of the crew to give IA
days notice before quitting the ship
Is unjust.
Under German law, having shipped
for the round trip, the men would be
guilty of mutiny if they struck. But
they say they are within their rights
in filing a formal protest. and they
expect some relief before the Impera-
tor sails for Hamburg.
The chief engineer is condemned in
the resolutions, which will be handed
to Capt. Ruser, and request for hui
name treatment of the crew Is made
in the petition.
