split FEARED IN
THE FUSION RANKS
Republican Bolt in Favor OF
Whitman Thought Real
Danger.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-As an after
math of yesterdays action of the
fusion committee in agreeing to put
forward John Purroy Mitchell as the.
-Tammany candidate for may
there arose today the question ~
whether all three political diyxsIons
Republican, Progressive ana Inde-
pendent acknowledgement in
the committee would stand by the
action taken.
Although the decision of the COM
mittee is regarded as virtual nomi-
nation in behalf of the three
divisions, 1t is actually only recon-
mendation to the political organiza-
lions which contributed to the COM
mittee's membership. and the actual
choice must naturally be made by
those organizations.
The most talked-of danger of
split in the fusion forces is the pos
sibility of a Republican bolt in favor
of District Attorney Charles S. Whit
man as a regular Republican candi-
date for mayor. The Republican
leaders make no secret of their dis
appointment over the nomination of
Mitchell, with Whitman running SO
close in the voting among the COM
mittee members that 1t was prac-
tically by one mans choice that the
nomination was swung to the col
lector of the port instead of to the
district attorney.
A majority of the New York
papers express a belief that, not
withstanding the bitterness felt by
the Republicans, they will not ven-
ture upon the talked-of independent
nomination. The question whether
Mr.. Whitman will stand on the
ticket with Mitchell as the candidate
for reelection as district attorney
and whether Borough President
George McAneny will stand as the
nominee for president of the Board
of Aldermen on the same ticket was
still an open one today. Neither had
defined his attitude.

"Divorcons" to Be Given at the
Newark, "Tenderfoot" at
Olympic Park.

For next weeks offering by the
Payton company at the Newark The
atre Manager Joseph w. Payton has
selected "Divorcons," one of the best
and most successful French comedies
of recent years.
It Is from the pen of Victorien Sar-
dou. master at this sort of dramatic
writing, and In it Miss Grace George
achieved one of her greatest successes
when it was brought to America after
first having delighted another CONT
nent.
There will be daily matinees and
the usual popular prices will prevail.
This play whose title is the French
for 'let us get a divorce" is spark
ling comedy of present day France.
Two of the three scenes are laid In
the drawing of the heroine, and
the third Is a private supper-room at
a noted Partisan restaurant. The &C
ton concerns a young wife and her
decidedly more mature husband.
Miss Mary Servoss will have the
role of the wife, which was created
by Miss George, and portray her re-
bellion at the fact that her husband

that she Is actually in love with his
young cousin, Adheran Gratignac,

HAWTHORNE PAINTS JOYS
OF FUTURE PRISON LIFE
Roses on Table When JaiIs Are
for Reform,

ATLANTA, Aug. Prison life as
Julian Hawthorne sees 1t In the fu-
ture, when confinement is for refor-
nation and not for punishment, Is
described in the August number of
Good Words, the prison publication,
by the author, now ON the eve of re-
lease through parole. His dream of
the days that are to come Is set forth
In the form of an allegory, which tells
of the meeting of four men in a
prison. He opens with this descrip-
ton:
-Four men sat around a table at
one of the western windows of the
great dining hall. One of them was
a recent arrival at the prison. The
last course of dinner had been served
and the 400 friends were enjoying
their coffee. A few were smoking
cigarettes for this was Sunday and
tobacco was allowed to all who cared
for 1t on that day. The band was
playing Beethoven's Moonlight
Sonata" The music vibrated softly
and remotely on the air. The hall
had marked architectural beauty and
the colors and decorations were quiet
but effective. The tables were ar
ranged with aisles between at the in
tersection of which stood immense or
ange trees and standard roses al
ternately."

Sheriff John F. Monahan has ready
for submission to Chief Justice Will
lam S. Gummere a list of 700 names
that will be certified to by the chief
justice as eligible for duty as petit
jurors in the county courts at the
opening of the September term or
court.
The list will be handed to the chief
justice on his return from his sum-
mer vacation in about two weeks
and at the same time he will be
given a list of 500 names from which
Sheriff Monahan proposes to select
the names of grand jurors for the
coming court year.
The lists have been very carefully
compiled in the sheriff's office and
cover the names of citizens in all
parts of the city and county. Each
ward in the city and each NUM-
eipality in the county has q. repre-
sentation in the list proporttonate
with it's population.
After the list of petit jurors has
been approved by the chief justice,
the sheriff will proceed to draw a
panel of 125 names to serve during
the first two weeks of the court ses-
sion. When these 125 names are
taken from the jury box q new set
of 125 names will be made UP and
lldllutu W lIlt Cllltl JuSliCS lOi oP
prevail so as to provide list OF
700 names always on hand ready to
be drawn from.
The grand juries, il is expected will
be drawn in the same manner as
heretofore, that is, the sheriff will
pick the names of twenty-four men
from the list of 500 approved by the
chief Justice There will be one diff
ference. however. In the past the
oh I,o - hn
grand jury. Under the new law the
chief justice will have the naming
of the foreman.
Clerk Arthur B. Tench, of the Com
mon Pleas Court, is the bau bond
expert of Essex County and there Is
mighty little In that line of business
he does not know. His long exper-
fence, enables Mr.. Tench to spot a
good bail bond as far as he can see
it and unless the piece of property
offered is first-class, 1t Is not ac-
cepted as bail
Mr.. Tench is particularly valuable
to the county when 1t comes to deal
ing with members of the italian race.
1t would seem, to watch him work,
that Mr. Tench knows the personal
affairs of every italian in the coun-
ty, especially those who have rela-
tives or friends that get in trouble
and require bail bonds.
An Italian will come up to offer
to go on bail bond where the prop
erty value value is $1,000 clear of all
membranes. The italian will offer
a piece of property and claim 1t worth
$4,000 and has a $4,000 mortgage
on 1t.
Nothing doing, Giuseppe" Tench
will say, for he knows most of the
Italians by their given names, you
know your property is only worth
5000 and has a $4,000 mortgage on
it,
Another thing that Tench has to
contend with Is the idea that most
men have that they can put up prop
erty for bail even If it is owned joint
ly by themselves and wives. the
