FIELDER HAS
ANSWER FOR
KATzENBACH
Explains Meaning of the
Direct Primary Law as
He Sees 1t.
DEFENDS ENDORSEMENT
BY PRESIDENT

Sea Girt, Aug. 25:-In answer to
Frank s. KatZenbach' charge that
President Wilson's attitude toward
the candidates in New Jersey was
in open violation of the purpose and
spirit of the direct primary method
of nominating candidates, Governor
Fielder said today:
"The primary purposes of the di-
rect method of nominating candi-
dates was to give the voters a nom
inee made such by a majority vote
of the respective parties where pos
sible, and that the law failed In it's
purpose to just that extent that it
failed to give majority nominees
'Mr. Katzenbach is too good a
student of politics and of govern
ment not to realize that the bosses
have usually been able to find a
way, by hook or crook, to defeat the
will of the majority Of the people,
even with a direct primary, where
such primary was an indiscriminate
scramble between a multitude of
candidates.
Under the old system where there
was a pretense at electing delegates
to the various inds of conventions,
If the boss found himself unable to
dictate the selection of the delegate
he desired, he was aided in his pur-
pose through the multiplicity of can
dtdates, the opposition strength being
split up into many parts while his
small minority was concentrated on
his candidate. Sometimes these
superfuous candidates were worthy,
capable and sincere; sometimes they
were mere cats-paws of the boss
without their knowledge; and there
were yet other candidates who were
paid agents of the bosses to run with
the very purpose of dividing the
vote of the opposition. 1t was this
argument based upon these facts
that caused many well-meaning and
patriotic citizens to declare their
opposition to the primary where
such primary was free, open, unguid-
ed and indiscriminate with no re-
strictions whatsoever, as being sub
ject to greater abuse, as well as pos
sible of greater harm even when the
candidates were sincere, than was
the old convention plan.
1.-THE best answer to Mr.. Katzen-
bach is, that had the three avowed
candidates remained In the contest
there would likely have been still
others with the possibility, If not
probability of the Democratic nom
inee being the choice of only min
ority of the voters, while, as the sit
uation stands today, the nominee
will be the choice of majority
of the Democratic voters of the
state"

Sherbrooke, Quebec. August 25.-
Rumors of bribery and attempted
bribery In the Thaw case, created
sensation among the Sherbrooke
officials today. They declared money
had been offered to both Canadian
and American officials to favor Har-
ry X. Thaw. 1t was flatly charged
that man In the Thaw party here
had minated to responsible persons
that $4,000 was available if a way
could be found to permit Thaw to go
to Virginia.
Attorney Conger admitted that he
had heard the story. He said it would
be investigated. Bribery or even
the suggestion, of it is a very serious
matter here and Crown Prosecutor
Nichol was said to be ready to in
vestigate. The Thaw lawyers were
In almost continuous conference to-
day. With their plan of action COM
plete they intended to be sure that
they had overlooked nothing. D. S.
Reynolds in charge of immigration
officials, said today that he would
permit no newspaper representatives
to be present at the inquiry to settle
Thaw's status.
THE law especially prohibits their
presence" said Reynolds.

From the accounts of Francis
Slater, who saw the origin of the
affair, and other witnesses, little
William was lassoed. After this was
done a war dance was suggested and
a fire accordingly built. The young
fellows began dancing around the
flames with loud yelps characteristic
Of Indians. Feldman found a news
paper lying on the ground and
doubled 1t into torch, the end OF
which he ignited in the bonfire. He
was doing the war dance just behind
William and in some way the flames
reached the rear fringe of William s
Indian coat. In an instant the flames
crept up the boys coat, rapidly burn
ing their way to his neck. The boys
were so frightened for the moment
that they did not know what to do.
Francis shouted to William to run
home, which the little boy did. his
body making a Veritable human
torch. He sped through a hole in
the big board fence into Division
street, where he was seen by Mrs.
Harry Leight. she ran to him and
tried to tear away the burning
Jacket, but after severely burning
her hands, and fearing lest her own
clothing catch afire, she gave up her
task in vain and let Oscar Heinig, Of
386 Division street, who had heard
the boys cries, take charge of the
boy. Heinig tore off a part of the
blazing jacket, but the flames were
now leaping 80 fiercely that he could
IL al lioI,
His hands were badly burned.
Mrs. Slater, standing on the back
porch OF her home, had heard the
noise and cries Of her son, and
straightway called Mr., Slater, who
reached the boy soon after Mr..
Heinig's efforts to pull away the
burning Jacket had partially failed.
BY this time the flames had reached
the collar of the jacket behind and
were eating the flesh from the boys
neck
without being thwarted by the
fear of being burned, Mr. Slater
stripped the last fragment of the
Jacket from the boy, and tore away
his trousers, which were by this time
being rapidly consumed, and carried
home the naked body of his child
with much of his skin already eaten
off by the flames.
The little body was so tender from
the hot fire tongues which had ragged
around it, that the tender touch OF
his father in carrying him home
caused him to writhe and scream
with agony. Dr.. Charles l. Silk, on
arriving, saw the child had been
burned past hope of recovery, and as
the little victims parents objected to
his being removed to the city hospi-
tai, administered narcotics to the
boy, who died within ten hours of the
accident.
All Saturday night Mrs. Slater,
thinking Of the body of her boy as it
was brought home charred from the
flames the afternoon before, found
but little sleep and her actions bor-
dered on hysteria. The funeral SER
vices for the child will be held to-
morrow afternoon at the house, and
burial will be made in st. Mary's
cemetery. There are two other emil
dren In the family.

REPUBLICANS
WILL |NDORSE
FULL TICKET
State, County and City Can
didatss Will be Decided on
Thursday Night.
REPUBLICAN CLUB CALL
BIG OPEN MEETING
Harry R. Wilson Said to be
Choice for Nomination of
- Alderman at Large

When the Young Mems Republican
Club Of this city meet in the head
quarters in the Madison building,
Thursday night, it will be for the
and state ticket This information
was received today from the local
leaders. 1t was expected that the
Republican ticket would be decided
on last week, but while the COM
mittees we're active, they were un-
able to complete the slate. 1t Is
said some surprises will be sprung
at the meeting which will be an
open one. Every Republican in the
city is welcome to attend and take
part in the session.
"a ticket will surely be endorsed
Thursday night" said a man high
UP in the G. o. P. ranks this morn
ing. I'VE have delayed long enough
but it was because we wanted to get
the strongest men possible to run
and the process of elimination was
necessarily slow. We now have
things practically In shape and by
Thursday night will be able to sug-
gest a ticket which will be of sterl-
ing worth and satisfactory to every
one"
Republicans have never maintained
such secrecy as they have this year.
None of the leaders will given an
inkling as to who the candidates are
likely to be, although 1t is known
that they have secured the promis-
es of some excellent men to run.
There Is much speculation as to who
will be the Republican candidate for
alderman at large. The general i'm
preston is that Harry r. Wilson
will be the man but he will not com
nit himself. The names of John f.
Ten Brock, Victor w. Main and
Louis H. FRANKIE have also been
mentioned, but Mr.. Wilson's is CIV
en- the most prominence. 1t is
practically certain that whoever is
indorsed at the meeting Thursday
night for alderman at large will be
unopposed for the nomination. This
Is also likely to hold good with the
entire Republican city ticket and
perhaps the county also.
The Democrats have three men
In the field for the alderman at large
nomination, w. Guy Weaver, Will
liam P. O'Hara and William J.
Leavy. Predictions are being made
that Mr.. Weaver will be nominated
as it is said he has the support Of
the regular Democratic organization
In the city. Mr.. O'Hara is popular,
however, and will give him hard
fight. He is chief Of the fire depart
ment and is declared to be strong
In the fifth and sixth wards.
The Progressives have a strong
candidate for alderman at large in
Charles w. Barnekov, who is making
a hard campaign. The Bull Moosers
are not overlooking any opportunity
TO make his name popular. On the
easterly side of the Dana building
In Smith street, near Maple, they
have painted large sign calling at
tention to Mr.. Barnekovs candi-
dacy.

SmuggIe Thaw to Pennsylvania.

Smuggle IhaW TO IeDSylVanIa.
Sherbrooke, Que. Aug. 25.-The au-
thorities here believe they have dis
covered plot to smuggle Harry Thaw
into Pennsylvania and there have his
sanity examined. This despite the
fact that the Canadian immigration
officials have assured Deputy Attorney
General Kennedy of New York and
District Attorney Conger Of Dutchess
county that Thaw would be turned
over to Vermont.
Thaw was downcast and spiritless
when he awOke and said that 1t might
have been better had he gone to the
electric chair, but when he heard that
he had been the subject Of many ser
mons in the churches and several of
the pastors had asserted he was the
victim of persecution he frightened
up and declared he would go free even
If he is an aged man before the day
of liberty comes.
The Tbaw family Is leaving nothing
undone to save Thaw from Matteawan
as reports received here state that
agents of the Thaw family are ac-
tive at Newport. vt, and other Yer
mont towns. What they are doing has
not been made known, save that pub
lie opinion is being appealed to to save
Thaw In the event of his being sent to
that state.
