W|TTPENN LEAGUE
DISAPPEARING ACT
Local Organization Soon to
Pass Away, Says Follower
of Former Candidate.

An echo of the crumbling of the
Wittpenn gubernatorial boom and the
efforts of his followers to get in
line" was heard in this city today,
when It was said shX.,.4..prorn nj
member of the II. Otto Wittpenn
Democratic League of Essex county
that the league would soon be thing
of the past
The gentleman in question declared
to a reporter for the Evening Star
that a meeting of the league wo I'D
probably be called in the immediate
future, at which time the organiza-
tion would formally disband. The
league was formed at a meeting held
at Oraton Hall on July l, at which
officers were elected and tentative
plans for boosting and financing the
former mayors campaign i'm this
county were made.
The officers elected at the time
were; James f. MaeGrath, of South
Orange, president; John NJ Rhoda :
beck. president; William A. Nc
Tague financial secretary; George E.
Byrne, of Orange, recording secre-
tary and Charles N. Hart, of East
Orange, treasurer.
VI is understood that little or moth
ing was done outside of organizing.
and it is, now expected that the ma
1ority of the members will do some
tall hurry -scurrying to pull out as
gracefully as possible and get in line
with the Fielder adherents. The ma
1ority, 1t is said, will declare them
selves for Governor Fielder. but there
are a number smarting under the be-
lief that Wittpenn was turned down
by President Wilson. who it is de-
clared, are more favorable to the
candidacy of former Mayor Frank :.

ARSON CLUE GIVEN
!. BY KEROSENE 0DOR
Bakers Hands Found Soaked
With Oil Following Shop
Fire.

Charged with arson John Jermano,
20 years old, of S22 Passaic avenue.
was held in $1,000 bail to await the
action of the grand jury by Judge
Hahn IN the Third Precinct Court to-
Gay. Three others previously held
as witnesses were paroled
Circumstantial evidence found by
the police led to the arrest of Jer-
mano when the bakery at the Pas
sale avenue address was found ablaze
in two places Saturday night by
Patrolman Cruit. Sergeant Kull and
Detective Brex made the investiga- :
ton that resulted in the arson com
plaint.
A quarrel between Jermano and
Barney Bovos, of 1S3 Pacific street,
partners in the bakery over the re-
ceipts for the last month preceded
The fire in the afternoon. According
to Michael Gapsis, a saloonkeeper
in the same building, the men came
into his place late in the afternoon
and had a fight, i'm which Bovos got
"A discolored eye and Jermano a cut
on the head, The latter threatened To
get even" with Bovos.
At 10:45 Patrolman Cruit noticed
the smoke coming from the bakery
windows and rushed into the shop. II,
declares he found two fires burning,
one at each end of the building, whlla
Jermano. the only occupant, stood
watching the blaze.
Sergeant Kull arrived as the fire
men extinguished the fires. and he
scented lncendiarsm. With Brex he
examined the premises and found an
empty oil lamp, without burner or
wick. Jermano, when he noticed the
discovery of the lamp, according 10
Brexs testimony, rushed to the sink,
The sergeant grabbed him and both
the officers smelled his hands. They
were saturated with kerosene. His ar
rest followed.
Bovos, with his eye blackened and
face swollen, declared to the court
he was through with the bakery.
When he first bought it there was a
fight over the ownership. Next a girl
in the neighborhood stole his gold
watch and a sum of money from his
pockets His third mishap was over
a wagon that the former owner
claimed During the squabble over
the wagon ran over a man and frac-
tirpd l,ie akttli Sinca then RoVOg ha =
had domestic troubles and a hundred
and one money matters, until now
with the latest episode in his mosfor-
tunes he is ready to quit the unlucky
bakery.

GHWAYMAN
Arrested
YESTERDAY

Dewitt Wilcoxon, alias Williams,
who admits being just released from
a Florida prison after serving five
years for murder of two negroes, was
arrested yesterday here on the charge
Of robbery in the first degree. He was
given preliminary hearing this morn
ing before Judge Miller and the case
carried over until 2 p. m. today in
order that the accused might procure
the services of a lawyer.
1t is alleged by the police that VIII
coxon in company with two negroes
accosted three white boys near the
y, P. tracks who were eating their
lunch alongside the right of way and
held them up at the. poin- Of several
guns held by the colored men, while
Wilcoxon went through their clothes
for money.
According to the story told The

TO BE
DEVELOPED ON
VAST SCALE

Paris, Sept. Aviation Is to be de.
veloped by the French government on
a vast scale. The general STAFF of the
army has come to believe capital
mistake was made in regard to aero
planes and dirigibles merely as use
full for scouting when in reality they
should be one Of the most effective
of the offensive and defensive forces
Of the republic.
The ministry Of war has worked out
a plan to organize the aeronautic
troops to commands determined BY
the objects to be attained. Recon
noissance will continue but large feet
OF destroyers will be created to en-
gage the enemy air fleet. When the
air is swept clear or rival craft yes
sells Of different types and armament
can be employed against fortified po-
sitions and land forces. Dirigihles
relatively slow and heavily cargoed
with explosives, would find their func-
tion.
Striking power before protection
is the present formula Of the aviation
designers concerning armored aero
planes. With the engines now In use
IL lis considered impossible to burden
the aeroplanes with protective plates
without being compelled to reduce
correspondingly the weight and efIl-
cheney of the weapons carried.

BRYAN NOT
r. WORRIED

Washington Sept. 1.-Secretary
of : State Bryan upon his re-
turn Saturday from a short lecture
trip announced that iil5tllfng had 1Deens
received from Mexico City TO cause
any alarm or to change the diplomatic
situation that exists between this
government and 1.-The provisional gov,
ernment in Mexico City. Mr.. Bryan
remained at his home all day keeping
in touch with the state depar tment
by telephone and was glad of the op-
portunity to rest. A few messages
Were received from the embassy at
Mexico City relating to routine devel-
.opments, such as supplying Americans
with means to leave Mexico. and a
brief message came from the special
envoy, Lind, at Vera Cruz.
Mr.. Lind, 1t was re-asserted, would
remain in Vera Cruz for a time at
least, so far as administration officials
here had any knowledge of his plans.
That the administration still is con-
tent to wait for expected hopeful de-
velopments is apparent on every hand.
Reports of new orders for mobiliza-
ton OF troops in Mexico by the provi-
siona1 authorities caused no excite
ment in Official circles here. At the
war and navy departments officers
were on duty all day, but no reports
from the Mexican border were receiv-
led regarding attempts to smuggle
arms into Mexico in violation Of the
strict neutrality order from President
Wilson.
The administration, 1t was reported.
Is encouraged by statements coming
from Mexico City which give indica-
tion that the provisional authorities
do not regard negotiations with the
United States at an end, and that they
are expecting to hear further from the
American confidential agent.
Whether Mr.. Lind has received any
further instructions from President
Wilson since he went to the summer
capital at Cornish, N. H., has not been,
announced, nor is there any official
statement as to Mr.. Lind's intention
to reply to the last note from Senior
Gamboa, the secretary of foreign af-
fairs for the provisional government.
Last night 1t. was stated that no re-
ports of anti-American demonstra-
tions had been received.

because he is not charged with crime.
There isaan added clause that Bou-

Treaty Making Powers, particularly
In relation to the controversy aroused
by the California alien land law. is tha
topic Of President Kellogg's address.

the status of foreign citizens within

travel, the business in which ne may
engage and the property he may own.
both real and personal and the dis
position Of such property after death.
He said it was understood generally
by the public that California claims
the right to legislate in respect to land
held by aliens notwithstanding any
treaty provisions with the federal gov
eminent. but declared the right OF
treaty control should remain with the
nation, not the Individual states.
He asserted the supreme court OF the

premacy Of treaties over the laws of
states, and enforced the rights Of for
eign citizens In the face OF popular
prejudice
