STOKES IS HAILED
BY HOME THRONG
Candidate Talks to Thousands
at Bridgeton, Declaring for
Useful Government.

BRIDGETON, Oct. 2.-While the
itinerary of former Governor Stokes
has not yet been arranged by his
managers, his campaign may be
said to have formally started at
mass-meeting here, the county seat
of the candidates home county last
night. In spite of bad weather only
small part of the large crowd at
tracted by the occasion could gain
admission to the rooms of the West
Cumberland County Republican
Club, at which the meeting was
called.
Arrangements were at once made
to throw open the Hippodrome, the
largest hall in the city, and the
crowd packing the club-rooms and
the streets outside, escorted by
band, marched to the larger hall.
The Hippodrome accommodates g..
600 people, but many were turned
away. The meeting was said to be
one of the largest and most en-
thusiastic ever held in Bridgeton.
Former Governor Stokes spoke for
an hour. 1t was his ambition, he
said, that if he should again be
governor of New Jersey to give the
State a government that would be
useful and helpful. He promised
nothing impossible but he declared
that there was much that could be
done with the aid of the Legislature
that would add to the benefits of the
people, and many Of the problems
now confronting the State should
be settled in a business-like way,
with politics eliminated
For more than an hour after the
meeting Governor Stokes held a re-
ception and shook hands with hun
dreds who crowded to the platform.

USES AUTO To AID
WOMEN IN STORM
Gallant East Orange Official
Warmly Thanked for Res
cue Work.

On visit to the lower section of
East Orange during the height of the
storm last night City Engineer Will
liam D. Willigerod, of that city had
opportunity to use his automobile
advantageously. A number of women
were unable to reach their homes
from the Ampere station of the
Lackawanna railroad because the
streets in the neighborhood were
flooded several feet deep, and Mr.
Willigerod conveyed them to their
destination in his machine. He re-
eeived the warm thanks of the
women, one of whom regretted that
she could not reward him with a
cigar.
While returning to his office he met
another woman with a baby in her
arms at Fourth avenue. She was
standing on the sidewalk unable to
cross the street, and he took her home
also.
The engineer said today the condi-
ton of the most of the streets in the
city was not as bad as he expected
considering the heavy downpour The
most Inconvenience caused was suf-
| fered by people getting off trolley cars
at the car barns at Fourteenth street.
| The street resembled a miniature
| river
| The water in North parkway, be-
| tween William street and Park ave-
nue., raised to the cellar windows OF
houses and flooded the cellars. Water
Engineer Arthur A. Reimer said the
| fall at the watersheds in Millburn
was not unusually large.

SALTS FINE FOR
Aching KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat which
clogs Kidneys, then the
Back hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need flushing occasion
ally else we have backache and dull
misery in the kidney region, severe
headaches. rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it no
longer initiates, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive:
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
news clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of lad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

HUGHES MAY HAVE
TO DROP HIS MAN
Protests Pour Into Washington
Against Proposed Appointment
of Charles V. Duffy.
WILSON HAS YET TO
GIVE HIS ENDORSEMENT
Newark Business Men Send in
Petition Favoring Appoint
ment of DiefenthaIer.
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2


Although the word went out last
week that Factory Inspector Charles
v, Duffy, of Paterson, would be
named for internal revenue collector If
Senator Hughes wanted him, it leaked
out yesterday that the protests against
Duffy may force the senator to with
draw his recommendation.
AS yet, Hughes has not recommend
ed Duffy to the President. He made
his recommendation to the secretary
of the treasury, and announced that
Mr.. McAdoo had approved the selec-
ton. Although that was several
weeks ago, the secretary of the treas
ury has not yet sent any recommen-
dalton on the subject to the White
House.
Among the protests against Duffy
that have been received at the White
House and by the New Jersey sena-
tors, are letters from many Newark
business men, urging that the office
should be considered as one of large
business Importance, and not wholly
as a partisan plum. There has also
been sent here a petition for John V.
Diefenthaler. signed by fifty or more
prominent Newark business and pro-
fessional men, both Democrats and
Republicans.
Efforts to find Senator Hughes at
his office during the last week have
been unsuccessful. IL. Is. w.

ElectrOcuted PatrOlman May
Have Been Lightning Victim
Especial to the Newark stnr.I

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 1T is the
opinion of the police here today that
Patrolman Hugh Clark, of the Fifth
precinct, was not shocked to death by
touching charged police telegraph
box, but that he was struck by light
ming.
This report was affirmed to a de-
gree by the reports of the division
superintendent of the Public Service
and the head of the police telegraph
signal system, who could find no
crossed wires or disconnections that
would charge the box 1t was signal
box Is, at Boulevard and McAdoo
street.
Hugh Clark was appointed to the
police force on November 10, 1899,
as a chanceman. He was then
twenty-siX years old. He was mar
ried and lived at 264 Clerk street. His
wife and two young sons survive him.
His untimely death is compared to
that of Dennis Sullivan, a patrolman
of the Second Precinct, who met his
death in a similar way not long ago
during a violent storm in the Horse
shoe section Of the city.

Dean of Durham Causes
Sensation in High Church
Meet by PrO=DivOrce Talk

SOUTHAMPTON, England, Oct. 2.
Very Rev. Herbert Hensley Hensen,
dean of Durham, created a sensation
at the Church of England Congress
asst night by a speech in which he
openly approved divorce. He de-
clared that the full significance of
the growth of the movement in fa-
vor of divorce was not to be eX-
planned by an outbreak of licentIous-
ness. Its strength lay in the fact
that it gave expression to the dis
tinctly Christian factor of self-re-
spect that would not acquiesce in a
situation which actually became de-
grading.
1t was an error, he said, to fasten
attention on divorce statistics, as IL
any considerable Importance at
tached to them. What really mat
tered was the standard of personal
purity. Other delegates insisted that
the church must maintain the doc
trine of the permanency of marriage.
Right Rev. James Weldon, dean
of Manchester, took the convention
al view that the religion of Christ
treats women as the weaker sex and
because of this he commended that
women are entitled to greater honor
and respect.
Dean Weldon said the legislative
inequalities under which women
have suffered for so long a time
prove that women's interests are not
safe in the hands of men. The chiv-
airy of man toward woman, he said,
had not been half learned, as is
shown by the fact that 1t was not
until the twentieth century that leg
islation against white slavery was
adopted.
Mrs. Paget, wife of the Bishop of
Stepney, urged that there is no
touch of patronage in the recorded
utterances of Christ regarding
women
He draws us into complete spir-
itual and intellectual companion
ship" she said. Mrs. Paget admit
ted that man often puts woman on
a pedestal, but, she added, "it is a
pedestal of a somewhat restricted
area. Woman has reached new sex
consciousness and demands full ex-
preston of her personality"

Rain-Swept Streets Block
Trolley Cars in Elizabeth

ELIZABETH. Oct. 2.--Considerable
damage was done by the storm which
swept over this city yesterday.
The streets in all parts of Elizabeth
We're flooded In some sections the
water extended from curb to
curb. making traffic almost impos
sible. Trolley traffic was badly ham,
pered. There was no running of cars
on schedule. Between and o'clock
something went awry in the power
house and cars in the uptown section
were at q standstill.
The lightning played queer FRANKS
in several sections. Electric light
wires were struck and in some way
which electricians cannot explain
caused the arc lamps to become
ignited. This, however. lasted less
than a minute. Some of the lamps
were lighted in this way two and
three times during the storm.

POLES GOING UP IN /.
SPITE OF PROTESTS
Supports for East Orange Call
System Being Placed Be-
fore Vacant Lots.

Workmen today began to erect
poles for the new police signal sys-
tenn in Walnut street north, East
Orange. When the announcement
was first made that the poles were
to be erected, Walnut street resi-
dents protested vigorously against
having the supports in front of their
homes. The poles are being placed
in sections of the street where few
houses are situated.
Whether the police authorities have
the right to erect the poles in streets
is a question being looked into by
special committee of the City Coun-
ell. The city officials are confident
the objections will be withdrawn, in
asmuch as the poles are only tenn
porary. The wires will later be
placed in underground conduits.

The large sewer directly in front of
the Court House plaza was unable to

toward it from the inclines of Spring

this point the water was at least
foot deep for a hundred feet around
and the miniature lake did not dis

utilized by boys cavorting around
barefooted.
1t is estimated that more than 20
OOO. 900 gallons of water were pumped
into the Passaic river by the four
pumps at the station in the meadows.
The overlooking of small brook
near North Eleventh street and
Chester avenue caused twelve dwell

cellars of these houses flooded, but to
get outside of their homes the resi-
dents had to wade through water two
feet deep in some places and six feet
at other points

are leading figures in New Jerseys
political life.
Governor Fielder, former Governor
Stokes and Everett Colby, the three
leading candidates in the fight for

by Senators Read, Colgate, Smalley
and several members of the Assem-
bly,.
The politicians were the guests of
Colonel Mahlcn r. Margerum at a
luncheon on the grounds,
Essex politicians were plentiful and
the situation there came in for some
attention, from Mr.. Stokes particu-
larly, in reference to Governor Field
er's charge that the Essex Demo-
cratic organization would prefer the
Republican gubernatorial nominee to
Mr. Fielder.
Governor Stokes. in discussing the
situation, said it would stand to rea-
son that City Counsel James r. Nu-
gent and the Essex Democratic or
ganization would stand back of Mr..
Fielder in the governors fight. Mr..
Stokes said the Essex organization
showed its control in the party last
winter, when leon r. Taylor, of
Monmouth county, was elected
speaker of the Assembly over Charles
O'Connor Hennessy, the candidate of
President Wilson, for the place. Mr..
Stokes added he has not or never
had any social. business, political or
