ORGANIZATION MEN OF
TWO PARTIES WIN THE
NOMINATIONS IN CITY

BY a majority of 166, W. Guy
weaver was nominated for alderman
at large on the Democratic ticket at
the primaries in this city yesterday.
Mr.. Weaver who had the support of
the organization, polled 1873, while
Fire Chief William P. O'Hara and
William j. Leavy, the opposition can
dldates, landed in second and third
places, respectively. O'Hara got SGT
and Leavy 312. The latter was sup
ported by the Leavy League, of
which Lawyer Thomas Brown is a
prime mover. 1t is not believed that
either OF the candidates will run in
dependently but that they will work
for the successful nominee.
Jamea F. Fielder got majority
OF $50 over Katzenbach for the
Democratic nomination for governor
in this city. Stokes ran way high
for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination. and Colby nosed out o.
borne by votes as the Progressive
nominee for governor. Their total
vote here WAS as follows: Fielder,
1888; Katzenbach, 500; Stokes, 455;
Colby, 43. Osborne, 88. That Colby
only carried the city by 6 votes
shows the even division of the SEN
timent here. On the Republican
ticket the other candidates for gov
ernor, polled small vote, as fol-
lowsi Fowler. S8; Carey, so, and
Pierce, Al.

The murdered farmer had a stand
engaged in the public market of this
city, where he sold most of his farm
products. For some unknown reason
he had not been here for about three
weeks. He had four children of his
own and was stepfather to four
others of his second wife. The entire
family lived on what is commonly
known as the Kelly farm, which is
situated about two miles west Of
Matawan and about a mile west Of
Freneau. Cantaloupe was thlrty-siX
years old and Lansulla was fifteen
years old.
Yesterday Cantaloupe decided to
try selling a load of farm products
in Keyport. He sold out and it was
while returning with his stepson and
a load Of empty barrels and baskets
on the wagon that the attack was
made. 1t is believed to have occurred
about 8 O'Clock last night. The team
and wagon aroused relatives Of the
victim, after it had strayed unguided
into the farm yard. Angelo Lanasta,
who Is married to the oldest daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Cantaloupe, was the first
to run out to welcome the home
comers. To his surprise there was
no one in the wagon. A hasty in
vestigation with a lantern led to the
discovery Of blood on the wagon
tongue.
Lanasta at once became alarmed
and summoned other members of the
family. Led by him. they conducted
a search down the road in the direc-
tlon Of Keyport. During the excite
ment that followed, Thomas Kelly, a
farmer, became aroused,
He sent word to Justice of the Peace
Farton stating there had probably
been foul play, and the official in
turn notified Chief Of Police Lam
bertson and Constable Hagan, "

fence Thomas Baker defeated George
w. Mum for the excise board nomi-
nation by 1877 votes. Baker polled

ganization and the latter was backed
by the labor unions.
The name of William Perkins, of
Kingston, for the third Republican
assembly candidate was written on
142 Republican ballots here yesteT-
day. The name of Arthur A. Quinn,
one Of the Democratic assembly can
dldates was written on "a of the
Republican ballots. This was done
by the Republican labor union men
as was arranged a few days ago.
Perkins was nominated as far as
this city Is concerned.
The Progressives succeeded in get
ting q total of 81 votes here yester-
day. Joseph F.. Fulton, of South

nation being the high man on the

NEW HOPE FOR
WHITE SLAVERS
,ecfal by United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wire.
San Francisco, Sept. "a New
hops came today to Maurie l. Diggs
and F. Drew Caminetti, convicted as
white slavers, by the decision of
Federal Judge Pollock, Of Kansas, in
a similar case, that the Mann white
slavery act referred only to com
vice"
The attorneys for the two men
today telegraphed to Wichita, Kans,,
for an official copy of the decision.
Using it is a basis, they intend to
ask a months stay of execution.
Special Prosecutor Sullivan declared
the Pollock decision can have no
bearing on the Diggs-C -Caminetti case.
Judge Pollock evidently did not
read the rulings of the supreme
court Of the United States regarding
the Mann act" he said. Judge Van
Fleet ruled correctly throughout both
trials here"

Outcome
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Sept. PA careful
summary of the voting in the pri-
mary election yesterdy gives the
following results:
Former Governor Stokes has
swept the state In splendid run,
polling upwards of 1000 votes, over
whelming his three opponents for
the Republicn nomination for gov
ernor.
Gov. Fielder has won the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor over
Katzenbach by about 10000 plural
ity.
Former Senator Everett Colby has
been nominated by the Progressives
over Osborne in a total vote which
is so absurdly small as to be practi-
cally farce in many sections of the
state.
AS far as can be learned with re-
turns coming in very slowly, the
state committee contests resulted as
follows: State Chairman Edward
e. Grosscup has been reelected to
the Democratic state committee in
Gloucester by a plurality of 500:
James R. Nugent, lieutenant of
James Smith, j. an anti-Wilson can
didate for the state committee In Es-
sex, Is elected by a safe majority
French, anti-Wilson man, Is elected
to the committee; General Collins, a
strong adherent of Wilson, wins the
committee post In Union. Without
doubt the Wilson forces will con-
troll the state committee. The only
counties carried by Katzenbach were
Mercer, which gave him plurality
OF 2,163 and Essex which gave him
about $500. Governor Fielder has
carried the other counties by plural
tiles ranging from 200 In Hunterdon
up to 10000 in Hudson.
Returns are meagre on the sena-
torial voting. Assemblyman Charles
M. Egan seems to have defeated AS
semblyman Thomas F. Martin for
the Democratic nomination for SEN
ator in Hudson county. This is one
OF the surprises OF the election as
Martin was considered winner.
Egan's nomination is a victory for
former Mayor Wittpenn, of Jersey
City, who was bowled out OF the CUB
ernatorial race by President Wilson.
Wittpenn has also nominated his as
sembly slate and his freeholder
ticket, 1t is claimed. This demon
strates that he is still force in

TESTIMONY IN
C0NDEMNINC
RIGHT OF WAY
Herring Being Held for Pub
lie Service TO Secure Lands
In Woodbridge Township
APPRAISEMENT MADE FOR
COMPANY

In the proceedings to condemn
nine parcels of property along the
proposed route of the Sewaren
branch of the Elizabeth and Trenton
Railway, a branch of the Public
Service Railway Company, instituted
by the railroad, held in city hall to-
day by Commissioners c. G. HON.
mann, Harry Conard, and Howard
Valentine, Isaac Alpern and Richard
A. Bolger, appraisers for the rail-
road, estimated the value of the
land of the property of James c..
Blair at $500 per acre. and the
damage which will be done by the
railroad at $75 to $3.50 per acre.
With these estimates the property
owners do not agree, thinking they
represent extremely low figures.
The property of Mr.. Blair, which
lies near Port Reading, in the vicin-
.ity where the short line will Join
the Elizabeth and Trenton line, was
the first parcel considered by the
commissioners. Mr.. Blair and near
ly all the other property owners,
against whom the proceedings have
been brought were ON hand with
their attorneys, but from present in
dications only evidence will be con-
sidered for one or two parcels Of
the land today. When the commits
sioners adjourned for lunch at noon
today, only the Blair tract had been
considered, and more testimony Is
to be taken concerning the property
this afternoon.
The other properties will be con-
sidered in the following order, which
may take a number of days for COM
pletion as the work Is slow: Fred
erick Brown, Randolph Lee, Thomas
F. Dunigan, Minnie Catherine
Adams, Rebecca G. Turner. The
properties of Nellie G. Hoffman, r.
G. Brown and Charles r. Brown will
be considered after the disposition
of the above, though their order was
not set forth this morning.
Judge Armstrong, of New Bruins
wick, represented the railroad, and
William M. Brown represented Mr..
Blair. Several Public Service Rail-
way officials were present. The
branch line as proposed will join
their line near Sewaren.
Engineer Ford for the railroad,
was the first witness heard this
morning and he testified that he
thought the land which the proposed
branch line will affect ON the prop
erty of Mr.. Blair Is worth $500 per
acre. He testified that the property
will be divided by the proposed line
into one triangular section contain
ing ten acres, and a smaller tract
o. four acres. Attorney Brown on
cross examination ELECTED from him
the admission that the land would
be damaged to an extent by the lay
ing of the proposed line. When ask
ed II he ever bought or sold real
estate in that vicinity he stated that
he had not.

Matawan. About a third of mile
from the Cantaloupe home large
pool of blood was found on the road
and there ended the bloody trail in
that direction 1t then led off at
right angle into ditch at the road
side, where the bodies had been
dragged. Condition of the roadside
indicated that one body had been
dragged about twelve feet and the
other about half that distance,
About three hours elapse,' f'yL
the time Lanasta first began the
search until the bodies were found
in bloody state in the ditch. About
them were found several empty bar
rels, which had been hauled from
the wagon, supposedly to cover the
bodies. il was plainly to be seen,
however, that some objects had been
dragged from near the large pool of
blood in the road and through
clumps of bushes into the ditch. The
bushes were down-trodden in two
places. t
Cantaloupe was stabbed deep in
the neck at the side of the jugular
vein, several times about the right
side near the ribs and on top of the
head. Little Lansulla received cut
about four inches long across the top
of the head, besides several other
stab wounds and was stabbed sever
al times in the back. The bodies are
now in the mortuary establishment
of Arrowsmith brothers at Matawan.
The prosecutor of common pleas OF
Monmouth county has started TO
work on the case in conjunction with
the police, AS yet no clues have
been found which might lead to the
identity Of the murderer-robbers. It
is not known how much money they
received, as it Is not known how
much was received for the load or
farm products.
