FOWLER TO HAVE
NO ORGANIZATION
Former Congressman Says He
Will Seek Nomination Di-
reotIy from People.
LFrom n star correspondent !

TRENTON, N. j., July 14--Former
Congressman Charles n. Fowler, of
Union County, on visit to the State
House today. declared that he pro-
posed TO have no organization what
ever nor any committee in his cam
paign for the Republican nomination
for governor.
81 am going to appeal directly to
the people of the State" he said. 81
do not need an organization and will
not have any. In these days of the
direct primary, when every voter has
consciousness that he ma aid in
the nomination, every poll ! or
ganization which attempts to dictate
nominations is an insult to the peo-
pie" Former Congressman Fowler
said that when he was party chair
man in Elizabeth and later in Uuion
County, he would never permit the
organization to have anything to say
about candidates until after the nomi-
nations were made.
There is no need of an organiZa-
tion before the nominations are de-
cided," he declared Mr.. Fowler said
that later he expected to speak in
various sections of the State in his
campaign for the Republican nomina-
ton. He said. "the people of the
State will hear from me in a way
they will not forget"

URGES CHANGES
FOR PARCEL POST
Postmaster er-General Burleson
Would Eliminate Zones and
Increase Weight Limit.

WASHINGTON. July 14.-Elimina-
ton of zones. reduction of rates for
first and second zone shipments. and
increasing the maximum weight limit
from eleven to twenty pounds are
among the changes that have been
recommended by Postmaster-Gener
Burleson for the improvement of the
parcel post system in this country so
that it can compete to better advan-
tage against the express companies.
The elimination of zones has long
been discussed and efforts have been
made to have fiat rates substituted
in their stead SO that intending ship
pers could place the amount of
postage on packages and place them
in letter boxes for collection.
Under the zone system the shipper
has to bring the parcels to the post
office or sub-station to ascertain the
amount of postage due This is
pointed out as one of the greatest dis
advantages of the system and one
which handicaps the postal service in
competition with the express COM
panies.
The raising of the maximum
weight limit will permit of the trans
portation of larger packages and will
be source of greater profit to the
department
The parcel post now, Postmaster
General Burleson claims, is used
mostly for small packages and the
heavier packages and the cream of
| the traffic, in which most of the profit
lies, go to the express companies.
The reduction of the rates for first
and second zone points is aimed to
aid the farmer and make it pos
sible for him to ship his produce at
cheap rate from his farm to the
consumer 1t will also aid the de-
partment stores and merchants with
out being a decided advantage to the
big mail order houses.
1t is expected that the changes will
be ordered to take effect on the first
of September.

GIRL DRINKS ACID
TO ESCAPE BEATING
Breaks Window in Home and
Fearing Punishment SWal-
lows Oxalic Acid.

Florence Kohler, 13 years old. was
playing about her home at l07 Wick
life street today when she put her
hand against a loose pane of glass.
The glass dropped to the pavement
and was smashed in little bits. Flor
ence started to cry, for she knew she
would be punished for the broken
window.
She was going to run out of the
house and play on the street so she
wouldn't be whipped, when she saw
bottle of oxalic acid. used for
cleaning purposes. on a shelf in the
closet Grasping the bottle she drew
the cork and swallowed a quantity
of the contents.
She was found on the floor where
she had fallen and taken to Dr. Field
mans Office at 81 Thirteenth avenue
by Mrs. William Rutan her sister, s
mother law. He gave her an anti
dote and summoned the city Hospital
ambulance. The doctors at the hos
pital say her condition is critical. The
girl lived with her married sister, Mrs.
Edith Rutan. The latter denies that
the child was ever whipped.

Mrs. Pankhurst
Again Arrested

LONDON, July 14.-Mrs. Emeline
Pankhurst and Miss Annie Kenney,
two of the militant suffragette lead
ers, defied the government and the
courts this afternoon by appearing at
the weekly meeting of the Women's S
Social and Political Union. Miss
Kenney was arrested during the up
roar caused by a clash between the
police and sympathizers with the
suffragettes.
After the meeting Mrs Pankhurst
evaded the officers, but she was cap
tured later in the day by detective
who saw her leave the place in a
taxicab and pursued her in another.
The two vehicles engaged in a wild
race through the crowded streets,
but the fugitive militant leader was
at length run down and taken to Jail.

SILK STRIKERS ARE
HUNGRY, BUT FIRM
Employers in Vain Try Bait of
Small Raise to Lure Toll
ers Back.
Especial to the Newark s,nr.l


PATERSON, IN. j., July 14-Al
though weakened by hunger tbe Gill
strikers today began another week OF
tnelr long struggle with a practically
unbroken front.
some OF them returned to the mills
but they have walked out again
None went back to work TODAY al.
though some of the firms offered q
small Increase in wages as a bait
Inc situation is generally regarded 10
De fully as hopeless as it was in Feb
rury, when the strike began.
Things are getting pretty bad
among the strikers" said EwaId
| koettgen. one of the organizers al
the Water street headquarters. "but
there is no sign of a break; in fact
they are more determined than ever
10 stand together. A few have gone
back individually in response to the
promises of their employers that their
grievances would be remedied. but
they have always found these prom
lses meant nothing. There is no use
talking, the workers will not work
more than eight hours day. and
every time an employer tries to make
them work longer than that they will
walk out again"
while he was talking a priest came
into the headquarters His appear
ance attracted much attention, as he
was the first priest, worker said
who had come among them yet.
i won't be blown up with a bomb
Will II" he asked. When assured
that he was in no danger he ex-
planned that he was the Rev. John j,
Queally, of st. Marys, and that he
wanted to investigate conditions
among the strikers for himself After
spending the afternoon talking to the
strikers he said he found them much
more human" than he had been led
to suppose.
The question: he said, "is not to
lift up the poor people after they
nave fallen, but to prevent their ever
going down. 1t seems to me 1t must
be approached as an educational
problem have conferred with the
Board of Trade and others, and they
indorse my ideas. My plan is to
bring the working classes into closer
sympathy and understanding with
their employers from childhood up
THE workers children in the
schools should be visited by business
men and employers and given con-
versational talks, so that they would
take an intelligent and understanding
interest in the problems of the bust
ness and industrial life they are
growing up to. I think the employers
would come also to have a better un-
derstanding and sympathy with their
people as well. have laid this be-
fore the superintendent of schools
Mr.. Wilson, and he is much interest
ed in it,

taken up with the prosecutors office
