beat Saturday for fifty yards at 40
seconds fiat. Then she captured the
open water swim for ladies from
Ocean Park to Rose avenue which
is about a half a mile. In September
she set her hundred-yard record of
1:22 and her 440 record of minutes
and seconds.
"I just love to swim and think
that it is a swell sport" she said. Il

and I have no trouble in making any
of the distances. How do | turn?

The stroke of Miss Mings is won
derfully developed. In the long
distance events she uses a double
overland with a peculiar little catch
that sends her flying through the
water Her kick is a combination
of the scissors and the crawl, which
she alternates with each stroke. In
the sprint events she swims crawl
that would do credit to any man.
George Freeth taught her that, and

REPUBLICANS PLAN FOR !.
GUBERNATOR|AL FIGHT.
LFrom E stan corresponaent.l

TRENTON, N. j., July 15.-The Re-
publican Association of County Chair
men of New Jersey has arranged for
meeting in the Republican Clubs
auditorium Thursday morning for the
purpose of mapping out plans for the
Governorship campaign. State Chair
man Wakelee will be there. Reports
from each of the twenty-one counties
will be presented. the idea of the
meeting being to get a line on the
situation in each county of the State.
Herbert w. Taylor, of Newark, will
preside.
The association will select dates for
meetings all over the State and for
various county sessions to be held be.
tween this time and the time of the
primaries on September %. In South
Jersey, Mercer, Hudson and Mon
mouth counties there is said to be
much sentiment for e. c. Stokes,
former Governor, and the more en-
thusiastic of his followers say he can
win even with a Progressive ticket in
the field
John D. Prince former president of
the State Senate. and former. Judge
Robert Carey, both from North Jer-
sey, are talked of for the Republican
nomination, but as a vote getter
neither is expected to compare to
Stokes, who, 1t is thought, might
be induced to make the run under
certain conditions.
Stokes is looking over the ground
very carefully. 1t is declared by some
insiders that he will not consent to
become candidate unless he sees a
chance to win. Up to the present
time, it is said, he does not see enough
to warrant him in becoming opti-
mistic.
AS the petitions of those desiring
the gubernatorial nomination must
be filed by August %, and as a
thousand signatures are required in
order to insure the printing of the
name of the candidate on the primary
ballot, 1t is conceded that the time
has now arrived in the Republican
ranks for definite action. If the Re-
publicans are to take a chance by
indorsing Everett Colby and running
him in the Republican primaries such
a course must be definitely decided
upon. If, on the other hand Prince
or Stokes or somebody else is to run
for the Republican nomination, that
course must be settled, too.

SITE INSPECTED
House Committee Accompanied

Jersey Officials.
LspecIal 70 the Newarls star.l


NEW YORK, July 15.-The fifteen
members of the House committee on
naval affairs left today for New Lon
den. They inspected yesterday both
the Brooklyn navy yard and the site
in Greenville, N. j.. on which it is
proposed to erect a yard to super
sede II.
The Jersey City commissioners and
members of the Jersey City Chamber
of Commerce accompanied the COM
mittee.
The absent members of the commit
tee were Representatives Reardon,
Hobson, Holburt and Butler. The If
teen, headed by Representative Pad
ger. chairman, arrived in the Presi-
dents yacht, Mayfiower. yesterday
morning, and went to the navy yard
After the machine shops and the new
dreadnought New York had been in
spected the committee lunched with
Captain Albert Gleaves, commandant,
then lett in the war department boat
Engineer of New Jersey. They were
guests at dinner in the Lotos Club
last night of the Jersey City Chamber
OF Commerce.
Plans of the proposed new navy
yard were drawn by Captain Louis
Sayre Van Duzer, formerly captain of
the navy yard, who recently took
command of the dreadnought Utah.
The necessity for a navy yard in New
York harbor with greater modern
facilities than the present one is re-
allied by navy officers. The Com
munipaw yard is planned to cover 100
acres and to cost 100000. Those
who favor abandoning the East river
yard assert the land could be sold for
s1S,0000O0.
Colonel William Black, of the har-
Dor board, accompanied the commit
tee to Jersey. He fayors the new site.

FOR HALF OF TAX BURDEN

ASBURY PARK, N. j., July 15,-
DR.. James c. Mason, Prohibition cam

before the international Order of
Good Templars of New Jersey In the

due, DIR. Mason said, to extravaganza.
DIR. Mason said he had authority for
the statement that 44O out of each
1000 deaths are the result of the
ravages of the liquor traffic.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-Miss
Dolly Mings, of Redondo. has proved
herself a stellar performer at Sutro
Baths, taking first in the fifty-yard
dash and second, after hot finish,
in the 44O.
Though she did not win the final
event of the day, she and Miss Mar
ouerite Brack swan neck-and-neck
the entire distance, but Miss Brack S
hand touched the rope an instant
ahead of her rivals. Everyone COM
mented upon the Redondo girls good
showing in the longer distance after
her firing fight in the fifty
Miss Mings is only nineteen years
old. Rather young, one would say,
for an American record-holder, for
such she is by virtue of her per-
Torrance in the fifty-yard swim.
Asked to tell something of herself,
she says:
Begins at Twelve.
81 first began to swim when / was
twelve years old, when they taught
me to dog-paddle in the water. Then
came to Redondo, which Is about
six years ago, but I did not take UP
racing swimming until about three
years later.
my first competition was with
Mrs. Desch. who beat me in the hum
dred. which she covered in 1:31:2;
But since then I have done the hum
dred in 1:22." There was touch
of pride in that last statement.
Since her first defeat, Miss Mings
has had an unbroken string OF VIC
tories. George Freeth, the Kanaka
trainer, took hold of her after he
came to Redondo and to him belongs
all the credit for her development.
In March, 1872 she won the fifty
yard swim at the Los Angeles Ath-
letic Club, and in April of the same
year she set the record which she
