K|NKEAD UNABLE To.
ATTEND MEETING.
Conference on Selection of Man
for Internal Revenue Col
lectorship Postponed.

The inability of Congressman Eu-
gene #. Kinkead to be present, owing
to pressure of business in Washing
ton. caused a postponement of the
conference which the congressman
had called for today at the Wilson
League headquarters to discuss the
situation that has grown out or the
fight for the position of collector OF
internal revenue.
Joseph A. Connolly, of Belleville, one
of the Essex candidates for the posi-
ton, and who has Mr. Kinkeads IN
dorsement was the recipient of a tel
egram from the latter this morning
saying that owing TO the agitation
over the currency question he would
be unable to leave Washington.
The conference was called by Mr..
Kinkead for the purpose of trying to
agree upon some plan for securing the
appointment for an Essex man, pref
erably Mr.. Connolly. There are sew
eral other Essex candidates for the
position, among them John V. Dlefen-
thaler, Joseph A. Cavanaugh and
owen r. Conlon.
Bernard Cannon, the county clerk
of Middlesex county, and lieutenant
of Congressman Thomas r. Scully,
was appointed to the position over
month ago because the local Wilson
League could not unite on any one
man. Mr.. Diefenthaler received the
Endorsement OF the 4eague, but the
other candidates also had their fol-
lowers
After receiving the appointment
through the efforts of Congressman
Scully, Mr.. Cannon suddenly decided
that he did not know whether he
preferred the position of internal
revenue collector or to run for an
other term for the county clerkship
of Middlesex county.
While he has steadfastly refused to
commit himself in the matter, 1t is
understood that he will turn down
the proposition9 and again seek the
county clerkship. Mr. Cannon has
referred all his questioners to Con-
gressman Scully. The latter said
Yesterday that he would be ready to
say in a day or SO whether or not
Cannon would take the place.
Union county friends are also max
ing a strong bid for James l.. Potts,
of Elizabeth, for the position, and 1t
is said he has the Endorsement or
Congressman William c. Tuttle. For
mer Mayor Ado1ph Lankering. OF
Hoboken, has also been mentioned
as candidate, but the latter denies
that he was ever in the race for the
Job

BODY FOUND FLOATING
IN CANAL BY POLICEMAN
Youngster Then Tells How
Walter o'Rourke, Aged 6,
Lost Life.

Although he had seen his 6-year-
old brother drowning in the Morris
canal and had listened. helpless, to
his cries for aid, 1O-year-old Edward
O'Rourke, of 70 Morris avenue, kept
the tragedy he had witnessed a secret
from his parents for two days.
1t was not until early today, when
Policeman Thomas McGlade, of the
Fifth precinct, saw boys body
floating in the canal near Dickerson
street, that the fate of 6-year-
Walter O'Rourke was known.
The two boys, Walter and Edwards
kissed their mother good-by on Thurs
day at noon when they left to go to
Branch Brook Park to see the annual
meet of the Essex county park plays
grounds.
Boy Falls Into Canal.
On their way home they walked
along the bank of the canal. Walter.
running daringly along the very edge
of the stream, tripped and fell in.
As he struggled frantically in the
water he called out piteously:
Aren't you going to nelp me.
Ed?"
But Edward, horror-stricken and
paralyzed by fright, made no move
to aid him. The little fellow went
down again and again, making heroic
struggles to save himself. Gradu-
ally his efforts weakened and he
sank from view.
Silent Tragedy.
Without saying a word to anyones
Edward went home.
Where's Walter? his mother
asked.
I'VE got separated watching the
games" he replied. II don't know
where he is, but | guess he'll be along
after a WHILE
Mrs. O'Rourke grew frightened
when Walter did not return and sha
and her husband, Thomas, went out
to look for him. They walked through
the park and along the canal, but
their search was frultless.
| Edward heard Mrs. Thomas Lyons,
| who lives in the same house, telling
some neighbors yesterday how her
1slittle son had been drowned iii the
sought her out.
Promise you won't tell anyone.
| he said, "and I'll tell you something.
Walter was drowned"
! The first that Mrs. O'Rourke knew
| of 1t, however, was when the pos
| lice told her that the body had been
| found. She went to Mullins morgua
in washington street and identl@
fled 1t. !,

PUG|L|ST IS DEAD
FROM KNOCKOUT
Jess Willard, Whose Blow
Felled Him, Is Held for
Manslaughter.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 23.-John w.
CBulD Young, ir., the prize fighter
who was knocked out last night by
Jess Willard, died today at the hos
pital where an operation was per-
formed today to relieve cerebral
hemorrhage.
The surgeons who performed the
operation gave concussion of the
brain as the cause of death.
An operation on Young's skull, in
an effort to relieve a cerebral hem
orrhage, was at first pronounced a
success, but hospital attendants de-
clared a few hours later that the
pugilist probably would die before the
end of the day.
In addition to the hemorrhage OF
the brain, those attending the fighter
declared that there were so many
complications that it was impossible
to enumerate them, although they
denied a report that his back had
been broken.
When Young was knocked out last
night and failed to revive four physi-
clans worked over him for thirty min
utes, while six thousand spectators
stood on their seats and waited for
the outcome.
fight were placed under technical ar
rest at once after the seriousness Of
Young's condition became known.
Earl Rogers, the attorney for the
Pacific Athletic Club, under whose
auspices the contest was staged, no
titled the sheriff that he would be
personally responsible for their ap-
pearance when desired. 1t was ex-
pected that more formal action would
be taken.
The men for whom Rogers guar
anteed appearance included Willard,
Charles F. Eyton, the referee, the
seconds of both fighters and the pro-
moters of the bout, Thomas J. Nc
Carey and AL Greenewald.
Young, whose pugilistic career was
limited to two years, came to Los
Angeles less than q year ago as a
sparring partner for the late Luther
McCarty. who was killed In a bout
with Arthur Pelky at Calgary, AL
berta. Canada, several months ago.
Young's father is rancher at
Glenn Rock, Wyoming. The fighter
had promised his father that If he
was defeated by willard he would
return to the ranch.
DR.. G. A. Scraggs, one of the sur
geons who performed the operation
on Young, said the cerebral hemor-
rhage was caused by concussion
when the fighters head struck the
floor of the ring and not by the right
uppercut to the chin with which Will
lard put him out.
Jess Willard. who had been placed
under technical arrest after the fight
last night. pending the outcome of
Youngs injuries, was taken into
custody by deputy sheriffs on
charge of manslaughter Immediately
after Young died.
The promoters OF the fight, Thomas
j. McCarey and Al Greenewald. and
the referee. Charles Eyton, gave
themselves up to the authorities when
they learned of Young's death. 1t
was said they would be held as ac-
cessories.

Firebug Blamed
for Mans Death

An investigation by Captain c. AL
bert Gasser, of the bureau of COM
bustibles, and the police of the Third
precinct has determined that the
blaze in the storehouse of the Far
mers' Feed Company, Passaic avenue
ane Chapel street. early yesterday,
was the work of an incendiary. A
bundle of burning newspapers was
thrown through an open window at
one end of the building, according
to Captain Gasser
If the f1rebug is found it is likely
that a charge CT manslaughter will
be made against him by the police
on account of the death of Cornelius
Churchill by drowning in the gutter
near the blaze.
Churchill's body is in the morgue
awaiting the arrival of his brother,
who has been notified.
