Special to the EVENING NEWS
Trenton, Sept. 10.-Former Gov
ernor Edward c. Stokes made public
tCday letter received from r. NJ.
Grant & Co., the New York bankers
aud bond brokers, declaring that the
cfarges against Mr.. Stokes In the
unsigned pamphlet being circulated
are untrue. The letter corroborates
the declaration of former Governor
Stokes that he could not have ia
vored his brother, Howard X
Stokes, in the purchase of bonds
from Grant G Co. for the state school
fund as charged in the pamphlet be-
cause Howard Stokes was not a
member Of that firm at the time.
The letter says in part: Many, If
not most of the differences which this
leaflet seeks to give are not only
wholly wrong but maliciously untrue
l speak generally of the entire mat
ter in it." The letter is sogned by
R. M. Grant, head of the firm and
he says he is willing to make affida-
Wit covering the statements in his let
er If former Governor Stokes desires
him to do so.
Ex-Governor Stokes not only de-
MED the charges made in the circu-
lar today, but declared that he pro-
posed to have full investigation
made Of the violation of the cor
rupt practice act.
'The distribution of the circular
Is clearly a violation of the corrupt
practices act" said Mr.. Stokes. II
shall refer it to the United States
postal authorities and ask that post
office inspectors be detailed to make
a thorough investigation. If the
guilty party can be discovered he
will be prosecuted"
Former Senator Frelinghuysen
has long been the bitter political en-
eny of Ex-Governor Stokes, and in
this campaign is supporting Senator
Carlton B. Pierce, of Union, for the
governorship. Ex-senator Freling-
huysen has Just sent letter to SEN
ator Pierce endorsing him for the
In this letter Freling-
huysen refers to the school investiga-
ton and the Howard Stokes bond
buying incident.
Former Governor Stokes intimat-
ed today that he suspicioned that
ex-senator Frelinghuysen might
have inspired the circular, but he
would not make any statement as to
this in advance of the investigation. |

nd Sixth wards, respectively.

Harry R. Wilson, president of the
Young Mems Republican Club is
lncensed over the matter and en-
phatically denies that any attempt
mas been made to put deal
through. There will positively be
no deal nor dicket of any kind" he
said. THE Republicans intend to
90 into the campaign this year and
find out who is who, in other words
who are Republicans. If a PROPOSE
ton was made to Mr.. Pugsley it was
not made by Republican in author
ity to make one, probably by certain
disgruntled Republicans who are not
quite as prominent at the present
time as they used to be. As far am

l.. Burt Moore, chairman of the
Republican City Committee, also
denied the proposition and said that
he had not even heard the report.
The city committee" declared Mr.
Moore, has not made or even
thought of making such an offer.
Furthermore ! don't believe it came
from any of the committeeman. As

is true ! can only say that the prop
osition must have been made by

be even larger than the figure he
gives.
The total vote on primary day in
Perth Amboy last year was 1858 for
United States senator, which headed
the tickets. For the primaries last
year about 1 1000 personally register
ed, yesterdays figure being a jump
of 263. The first ward here this wear
has three polling places instead of
two and while it has always been
classed as a Republican ward predic-
tions are that it will be Democratic
next year. In the second and third
polls yesterday total of fifty new
names were added and of this mum
Der two-thirds were Democrats. In
the second poll eighteen Of the
twenty-five are Democrats. The
Democrats made a hard fight last
year to carry the ward but failed.
AS there are two more registration
days before the general election there
is likelihood that at least 500 more
names will be added. Some of the
districts now are close to the 400
mark and If the vote on election day
in any of the districts exceeds that
number 1t means a new district in
the ward the following year. The
foregoing table shows in the first
column the total number who are
entitled to vote at the primaries.
This includes the names of those who
voted at the general election last
year. The second column is the total
who visited the polls and
registered yesterday. In the third
column Is the number of new names
added to each district and In the last
column is the total number registered

Averill, VT, Sept. 10:-Harry X.
Thaw is at large again. The Cana
dian immigration officials after de-
porting him from Canada crossed the
international border at 8:55 a. N. to-
day and set Thaw free here. No
officers were present to arrest him.
He hired an auto and set out for
Canaan or Beecher Falls, evidently
intending to try to get back into
Canada or remain in hiding The
Canadian authorities simply took
Thaw across the border and let him
go without paying any attention as
to what became of him.
H. D. Spauldings, proprietor of the
Lakeside Inn, where Thaw went on
his arrival, said to the United Press:
"Thaw arrived here shortly after
o'clock accompanied by the Cana
dian officials, who brought him up to
the door of the inn, put him out and
drove away. Thaw was very much
excited and seemed hardly to know
what to do. He said to me, We

He produced the necessary money
and hired one of the autos stationed

SO quickly that all concerned were
taken by surprise, Harry X. Thaw
was hustled out of the detective room
at the railroad station here early to-
day and again in violent protest rush
ed across the border to Vermont
Il am being Kidnapped" yelled
Thaw. Help! This is an outrage. "
Screaming his protests Thaw made
what little resistance he could but
had no chance against his keepers.
immigration Officer Robertson stated
that there was nothing illegal about
the proceedings.
C.~J. Dougherty, minister of Jus
tice, who is acting minister of the
interior and thereby in charge of i'm
migration, held that the Board of In
quiry, last week, in ordering Thaw's
deportation was regular. Despite
the restraining order issued by the
kings bench at Montreal, he instruct
ed the immigration officials to deport
the prisoner. The time was we'll
chosen, as Thaw and all his counsel
had settled down serenely to await
trip to Montreal to appear before the
kings bench. The village was un-
prepared and the immigration officers
met with no resistance except the
curious battle given by the prisoner.

Curious MasCOtS.

Many and wonderful are the
mascots that have been sent to
Sir Thomas Upton when he has
tried to wrest the American cup
from its owners. One gift was
a broom, which was to be car
ried on the Shamrock for luck,
and the mastheaded after she
had won the cup. Another ad-
mirer sent him two rabbits ears,
neatly mounted. In his letter
the sender said it was a mistaken
idea that rabbits hind feet were
lucky. They are hoodoo," he
said; "the ears always go ahead
of the feet"
Horseshoes were received by
the dozen. There were large
ones and small ones, and some
that had seen much service. A
dainty ring was sent by a man
who said it was made out of a
horseshoe nail. A stick that Sir
Thomas prizes very much was
presented by 900 sailors. From
Rothesay was sent a bunch of
white heather. while livestock,
including three dogs, also came
to hand. The late King Edward
was much interested in Sir Thorn
as mascots.

The big men dare, and the big
men do; they dream great dreams
which they make come true.
They bridge the rivers and link
the plains, and grid the land
with their railway trains. they
make the desert break forth in
bloom, they aend the cataract
through the fume to turn the
wheels of a thousand miles and
bring the coin to a nations tills:
the big men work, and the big
men plan, and, helping them
selves, help their fellow man.
And the cheap men yelp at their
carriage wheels, as the small
dogs bark at the big dogs heels.

men sleep, and when they go to
their fields to reap, the cheap

build while we are asleep! Well
legislate till they lose their hair!
Well pass new laws that will
strip them bare! Well tax them
rigqt and we'll tax them left, till
of their plumber they are bereft;
we'll show these men that we
all despise their skill, their cour-
age and enterprise!" So the
small men zap at the big mems
heels; the fake reformers with
uplift spiels; the four-eyed dream
ers with theories fine, which
bring them maybe three cents a

always yearns to collar coin that
they do not earn. And the big
men sigh as they go their way;
they'll balk at the whole blamed

Self.ImpOsed Torture.

An extraordinary scheme was
witnessed in Calcutta recently,
when a small trolly, studded with
rows of iron spikes, on which a
Hindu was lying at full length,
was being pulled through the
streets. A large crowd was fol-
lowing. Inquiries elected the
information that the man was
doing penance, and was on his
way to the temple of the god
dess Kali, at KaIighat. The
Hindu had been several days on
the journey, and was in a terri
BILE condition.
The spikes, which numbered
about $50, were quite sharp, and
the man wore only a loin cloth.
He must have been suffering
acute pain from the fact that
his body was bruised and lacerat-
ed all over as a result of lying on
the sharp nails. Neither the po-
lice nor any passerby made any
attempt to stop the self-imposed
torture.

Some weeks ago considerable
publicity was given a case of
accidental poisoning from bichlo-
ride of mercury tablets. The case
was so featured" as to lead the
public to infer that corrosive
sublimate poisoning was not only
a sure but also a painless route
to the other world. Since this
accident, the papers have chroni-

curry was the drug used. There
is no doubt that many unstable
persons who in fits of depression
contemplate suicide, are restrain
ed from taking the fatal step
by the dread of the unknown
agony they may suffer in COM
hitting it. To such, the knowl-
edge of a sure and painless meth
cd of death removes the only re-
straining influence left. 1t is
fitting, then. SAYS the Journal of
the American Medical Associa-
ton, that the public should know
that there are few modes of
suicide more painful and in which
the agony is longer drawn ont
than that due to the taking of
bichIoride of mercury. If this
fact were given the same publici-
ty that was accorded the case of
accidental poisoning, there is
little doubt that the corrosive
sublimate method of self-de-
struction would cease to be the
fatal fad it has recently become.
