COLBY STATEMENT
PROVES INTERVIEW
Evening Star Reporters YER
sion Practically Substantiated
by Former Senator.

In a long statement yesterday, a
copy of which he did not furnish the
Evening Star, former State Senator
Everett Colby practically reiterates
all the statements he made to an
Evening star reporter last Saturday
morning and which he later denied,
claiming that he had been mis-
quoted"
In this later statement he says:
IT did say that the Progress
sives would be very glad to work
with and welcome any Republican
who sincerely believes in our plat
form"
Saturday Mr.. Colby said There
have been numerous things to show
of late that there is disposition on
both sides to get together and 1
know the Progressives welcome such
movement with open arms"
In yesterdays statement. Mr.. Colby
said: ~ never said that I was a
candidate for Governor and that my
hat was in the ring. l did say that
if the Progressive leaders wanted
me to enter the race | should prob
ably do So"
Saturday. in answer to a sug-
gestion by the reporter, Then
you might say your hat is in
the ring" Mr.. colby's reply was,
Eyes. that's about the situation and
then continued. II am not seeking
the office, though I mean that
know 1t is the habit of all politicians
to make such statements, but |
mean it.
at have had lot of friends ask
me to make the run, though, and II
the sentiment is in my favor l would
make 1t. Understand me, though,
that am not seeking the office"
MIR. Colby made it very clear that
the Progressives wanted nothing to
do with the old Republican macnlne'
and made 1t equally clear that there
had been considerable talk OF fusion
between the members of the Progress
sive and Regular elements of the
Republican party and that he be-
lieved in a short time the two eie-
ments would be working in harmony
He upholds this in the statement of
Yesterday when he says; was
asked IL any overtures had been made
by the Republican leaders and re-
piled that there had been. And 1t IS
true. In one county | was asked to
run in the Republican primaries on
condition that l would have no OPP
position. In another county the Re-
publican leaders asked me to run in
the Progressive primaries and receive
the Endorsement of the Republicans.
Another Republican leader agreed to
give dinner to both Progressive ana
Republican county committees or
Essex County. 1 have also been
asked to attend several conferences
with the object of patching up
truce"
In other ways the lines of Mr.. Col
bv,s statement of yesterday, prepared
by himself, conform almost exactly
with the statements given as coming
from him by the Evening Star re-
porter who interviewed him on last
Saturday,
The. evening Star reporter who
wrote the Interview with Mr.. Colby

COLBY INTERVIEW
SOUNDS LIKE HIM
Major Lentz Thus Declares
HimseIf-PeopIe viii Get
Together, He Says.

Major Carl Lentz, to an Evening
Star reporter today, expressed him
self on the interview with former
Senator Everett Colby published Sat
urday in this paper as follows:
1.-The trouble with Mr. Colby is
that he likes to talk and see his name
in print. The interview sounds as
Mr.. Colby talks. and have no doubt
that in substance 1t is as written, but
1t makes no difference what Colby,
Osborne, Record and the rest of the
leaders, former bosses, say, the peo-
pie will get together in spite of
them. Protection will cement every
opponent to free trade in solid mass,
and the recall. initiative, referendum,
single tax and all the other ills these
gentlemen believe they are missioned
to cure will have to wait until the
country is again progressive"

Utterly Indifferent to the fate of
her two children. Mrs. Mary Muir

single word of regret when she part
ed from them, probably forever, in
the Second Precinct Police Court to-
day.

do and then refuses to disclose any
plan of action. He brought men from
Camden, from Sussex, from all over
the State, to hear his advice and then
refused to be drawn into a statement
of any plan whatever. This would
have been bad enough, but what fol-
flowed was still worse.

bosses and machines, and whose in

pie goes into secret session with
coming from in the lower branch,
nor are they saying where they are
to gain the required eleven votes in
the upper house. This is plain blum.
Their opponents, on the other hand
are confident, first, that 1t will be i'm
possible to get the bill through the
House, and then conceding, for the
sake of argument, that it does get
through, they assert 1t will fail in the
Senate. There are only ten Demo-
cratic votes in the Senate with Gov
ernor Fielder voting, and all of these
are by no means certain for the ad-

Republican vote. and possibly more,
will have to be obtained in the upper
branch to pass the bill.
Republicans yesterday, except SEN
ator Leavitt, who is for the McDer-
mott bill, were strong in their state
ments that the only bill they would
support was the Read Circuit
Court-appointed commission measure.
Therefore, if the Democratic sena-
tors realize they have got to take the
McDermott bill their ten votes and
that of Senator Leavitt would be
enough to secure its enactment into
law.
Democrats Would BE Strong Enough.

POLICEMEN TESTIFY IN
FAVOR OF JERSEY CITY

Several mounted policemen and pa
trolnen, who were on duty during the
strike in Jersey City, in October, 1910,
were put. on the stand by the de-
PENDANTS today during the continual
ton of the trial of the suit brought
by the Wells Fargo Express Com
pany against the aldermen and mayor
of Jersey City.
The officers made a general denial
of many of the statements offered by
witnesses for the plaintiff. The testi-
mony of each witness was practically
the same and consisted of descrip-
ton of how individual bluecoats
"guarded" the express company $
wagons and teams when the one
hours notice of moving a wagon was
given the police.
It was maintained by witnesses for
the defense that if any damage was
done to the property of the express
company during the strike 1t was
when the company tried to move It's
wagons without giving the police the
one hour notice required.

Colby Delay in
Making a Denial

Edmund B. Osborne, chair
man of the State Progressive
Committee, was asked last
night what he thought of the
denial by former Senator Ever
EFT Colby of the statement IN
the Evening Star of Saturday.
He was at first reluctant to
talk, but finally said:
THE incident is closed. and
we are all delighted to know
that Mr.. Colby did not intend
to convey the Impression which
his first interview gave the
public.
II very much regret that he
did not deny the correctness of
his Saturdays interview until
Monday afternoon. If his de-
NAL had appeared in the Sun
day morning papers 1t would
have saved lot of trouble and
embarrassment"

THE DEADLY" AMERICAN RAILROAD.

For many years back statistcians have told us how
deadly American railroad travel compared to railroad
travel in Europe and have been taught to think that
American railroads conducted with reckless isre-
gard of human life Yet the Scientific American has re-
Gently made analysis of these statistics and finds that

irritating way of disappointing popular beliefs That
the mortality of railway travel in the United States is
high cannot be open to discussion 1t will be too high
so long as it remains above Zero But the statistics of
the subject disprove such notions that it is

the world.
''If you take the number of passengers carried
and divide it by the number of killed during year. in
this country and in Europe you will get comparison
which is very damaging to the American railroad 1t will
show that in this country passenger every four mil
lion carried killed against twelve million
in Europe But that is not fair comparison. The
age distance each passenger carried is approximately
three time greater this country than in Europe 1t is
plain the risk of travel is proportion to the dis
lance travelled The risk of travelling Thousand miles
is thousand times greater than the risk of travelling
mile Therefore, the only fair basis of comparison is that
of passenger miles - The passenger mile is term
used express unit of passenger transportation. 1t is
one passenger carried mile. For illustration the
number of passengers carried by American railroads in
1912 was roughly billion but the passenger miles
thirty billions. because the average distance
travelled by each passenger thirty three miles. One
passenger travelling thirty billion miles thirty
three billion passengers travelling mile each would
make the number of passenger miles one billion
