scented his pass to the conductor of a.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad train for passage from Ho-
boken TO Rockaway on January 81
last.
The railroad company contended

sofar as it applied to the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad

W|TTPENN'S RULE
CAUSES REVOLT
Jersey City Ward in Rebellion
and His Candidacy for Cover
norship Is ImperiIed.
Especial to the Newark start

JERSEY CITY, N J., Feb. Is
There is revolt here against Mayor
Wittpenn and his leadership. The re-
bellion had it's origin in the. Eleventh
ward and it is quite probable that
other wards in the city will join its
ranks.
The Mayors candidacy is seriously
affected by the move as those in the
revolt have declared in favor of the
nomination of Senator Fielder for
Governor.
That there has been trouble in the
Wittpenn camp in the Hudson City
section has been known for some
time. This has always been regarded
as a Wittpenn stronghold. There is
friction in the Twelfth Ward and the
Mayor has been kept busy preventing
an open break. This latest trouble
is causing him considerable worry.
Recently the nineteen members of
the county committee from the
Eleventh Ward agreed to support
Albert II. Holman for member of the
executive committee. Holman is an
Inspector of liquor licenses and enjoys
the confidence of the Mayor. 1t was
understood at the time that Hob
mans Endorsement was made at the
request of the Mayor.
A change has come over the mem
bers of the committee and now twelve
of the nineteen members have re-
pudiated not only Holman but Mayor
! Witpenn as well. The ward is to be
reorganized, and it is probable that
at a meeting of the committee to be
held next week the Fielder Guber-
| Material candidacy will be Endorsed.

PATERSON'S SILK
STRIKERS QUIET
Arrest of KiIIingbeck Led to
Riotous Outbreak, but Po-
lice Soon QueII 1t.
rspeclar to the Newark start

PATERSON, n. j., Feb. 2S.-Affairs
were quiet in the silk workers strike
here this morning, following the riot
attendant upon the arrest Of Wilson
Killingbeck, of Orange, yesterday.
Killingbeck, who ran for Governor
on the Socialist ticket, was address
ing the strikers in Turn Hall when
detectives placed him under arrest.
Several thousand men and women
attempted to take Klllingbeck away
from his captors, but police reserves
summoned from police headquarters
only two blocks distant prevented
this. Killingbeck was taken before
Chief of Police Binson and was re-
leased an hour afterward.
Killingbeck was referring to the
arrest last Tuesday of Carlo Tresea
and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and CEN
surfing the police for it when he was
seized by Chief of Detectives Tracey
and four of his men.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, who was
released yesterday, declared that she
would not speak in Paterson again,
but that she would address the strik-
ers outside the city limits.
The strike leaders estimate the
number on strike now at 1900. while
the police aver that $500 is a closer
estimate.
Appeals by the leaders to Mayor
Mcbride for the right of free assem-
bly and free speech has elected from
the chief executive the reply that the
strikers have this right, but that the
rule does not apply to outside agita-

STARTS THEATRE PANICS

NEW YORK, Feb ga strike
that called out 100 carpenters, mu-
sicans, actors, actresses, stage
hands, ushers and other employees
is preventing performances from
being held in two of the city's lead
ing Jewish theatres. The carpenters
walked out first, declaring their en-
ployers had erected a new theatre
with the aid of non-union men. A
sympathetic strike followed at once.
When patrons who had purchased
tickets for last nights shows demand
ed their money back and were re-
fused they became turbulent. Police
reserves were called to clear lobbies
and sidewalks.

IN FOG, FERRY TAKES
TRIP UP EAST RIVER

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Folk who
took the Pennsylvania ferry boat
Pittsburgh, which left Jersey City
at S.15 a. m. yesterday, bound for
.Desbrosses street, got more than their
mdney's worth. The thick fog made
the progress of the craft dangerous
and performed a few feats with the
Pittsburgh.
The boat was loaded with passen-
gers and teams, and after proving
around in the haze for nearly two
hours, the amazed and discounted
commuters found themselves dumped
out on the East River side at Pier
No. 7. In some unaccountable way
the boat had wandered down the
river to the Battery. rounded the
point and continued up the East
River.
