tragedy occurred here this after
noon when David E. Linkenhorker
shot and killed Mrs. Warren L. Paint

Penitentiary for Women.

The Illinois Women's Democratic
league began a movement on Sunday
for the establishment in Illinois of a
separate penitentiary for women.
The institution as proposed would be
entirely governed by women and
would be separated entirely from the
other State prisons. A part of the
plan is to have women employed as
guards, attendants and in all other
positions.
A bill has already been passed by
the legislature for an appropriation
for the establishment of e new State
penitentiary, and Gov. Dunno has
promised members of the league that
the matter will be held in abeyance
until he is Informed of the nature of
the project for which the women are
working.

Queer Checks.

There is a bank clerk in western
city who has for years INDUCED in
hobby of collecting bank checks
drawn on queer articles. There
hangs about this clerks desk a torn
linen collar, piece of lath, a cuff and
various other objects used for the
purpose of drawing money from the
bank
Each of these has story. The
clerk began his collection with
piece of lath. This was honored by
the bank for $3.50. 1t was made into
a check by the owner of a sawmlll,
who, with his son, was at the plant
with no checkbook. The money was
needed to pay the hands. The saw
mill man wrote on the lath just what
a check correctly drawn would bear
and sent his son to the bank to get
the money and explain. The lath
check was honored after some dis
cussion among the bank officers. The
cuff was drawn by an actor, who
while intoxicated, had engaged in
fisticuffs with fellow Thespian and
had been arrested. He was treated
cavalierly in his cell. AS he could
obtain no paper, he Dribed a boy to
take the cuff check to bank. In
due course the player received his
money and paid his fine. If one car
ries a good account it is probable
that his bank will honor his check
even is drawn in freaky way, but as
a general thing they are loath to en-
courage that sort of procedure.-New

UNEASY HEADS.
Seven Rulers of Mexico Have Suffer
ed Death Since 1910.


With the killing of Madero and
Suarez, the deposed heads of the
Mexican republic, in Mexico City, the
death of those who have paid the
fatal price for ruling in Mexico is
increased to seven names. Just
little more than a century ago
Michael Hidalgor Y Costilla, the par
ish priest of Dolores, arose as the
|'liberator" of Mexico and clutched
control from the feeble hands of the
Spanish viceroy.
An obscure country priest, Hidal-
go conspired with his own parish in
the state of Guanajuato, in 1910, and
in the fall of that year, when he
rang the bell of his church to call
the people to war, an army of 5000
rallied to his standard. He pressed
on toward Mexico City with his con-
stantly increasing numbers until he
had a following of 100000 patriotic,
Dut unQlSclp1neQ men.
A force of only 5000 veteran SOL
diers of Spain delivered crushing
defeat in January, 1911, and drove
Hidalgo to the mountains, where he
waged guerilla warfare until he was
caught and shot in July, 1911.
The list of rulers of Mexico which
have listened last to the rifles
speech thus opened is as follows:
Michael Y Costilla, ''liberator, ,"
1911
Jose Maria Moreois y Pavon, presi-
dent, 1915.
Francisco Xavier Nina, president,
1917.
Augustine de Iturbide, emperor,
1924.
Macmillan, Archduke of Austria,
emperor, 1857.
Francisco I. Madero, president,
1913.
Jose Pine Suarez, vice president,
1913.

DISPUTE ABOUT GIVING
HORSES TO FIRE DEPT

Alderman F. A. Seaman sprung a
sensation at the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen last night when
he said he had heard that Alderman
John J. Clark was going to "break
the chairman of the street depart
ment and smash the street commits
sioner before the year was out" He
wanted to know II a determined eff
from the street department to the
rom the street department to the
fire equipment was behind that
boast. A majority Of the aldermen
seemed to think it was proper for the
street department to furnish horses
for drawing fire apparatus. Mr.. Sea-
man contended the fire department
should purchase, break in and main
tain their own horses. Alderman
William C. Wilson alone supported
Mr.. Seaman to some degree, but
when a vote was taken on a resolu-
ton to transfer one of two good
teams from the street department
to the Liberty Hook e Ladder house
all but Mr.. Seaman voted in the
affirmative.
Alderman Seaman opened the dis
cusSion when the resolution was Of
fered, by asking that the subject be
laid over until the next committee
meeting. Chairman Henry w. Sand
beck, ir, said the Liberty company
was greatly In need of horses, both
for fire and street sprinkling duty
Mr.. Wilson stated the company was
temporarily in commission now to
do sprinkling duty. Thereupon Mr.,
Seaman spoke at length upon the ex-
cellent condition of the street de-
partment. He said it was a wrong
incentive to take well-cared for hors-
es from the street department and
turn them over to the firemen. He
contended the street department
should not be a nurse for fire horses
and declared fremen should take
care of their horses. Then he made
the direct accusation that one fire
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1913-08-19

man had disabled a horse and should
have been kicked out of the depart
ment. He declared another horse of
the same company had been disabled
Mr.. Wilson said one of the old
horses which had been at the Liber-
ty house was unfit, even for street
work. He declared the s. p. C. A.
would not permit 1t to be used The
alderman said there might be a saw
ing of $500 in making the transfer
suggested, but not for the street
department.
AS far as economy was concerned
which Mr.. Clark had spoken about
Mr.. Seaman said there was no eco
nomy in placing old horses back in
the street department. Economy
he contended, was doing the best
work in the best manner possible
His voice raised as he declared the
fire appropriation had been so small
that the department could not get
through with it this year and he de-
sired to know if that was why horses
had to be taken from the street de-
partment. He wanted to know if a
boast he had heard Clark had made
that he would break the street
department chairman, Mr.. Seaman
land Smash" Street Commissioner
Adair before the year was out, was
behind the move.
Mr.. Clark said he did not desire
to become personal, but could give
facts and figures to prove that the
departments in question were well
taken care of. He reiterated his
opinion that it was up to the street
department to furnish horse flesh
for the firemen.

DEMOCRATS ON
OUTING TODAY

1t was nearly 1870 this morning
when the steamboat Point Comfort
dropped her gangplank here and a
merry crowd of about 1900 Demo
Gratis from all over the county sailed
on their way to Donnelley's Grove
at College Point, l.. l. The big YES
sci sailed to the tune of Congressman
Thomas j. Scullys band, whicl
boarded the boat at South Amboy,
with a large coterie of the congress
mans followers from that city. The
excursion conveyor was due to leave
at 9.45 o'clock.
The only stop which the boat made
between this place and the party S
pleasure haven, was at Roosevelt,
where many prominent adherents of
Democracy from that section got
aboard. On its way from New Bruins
vic the vessel docked at Sayreville
and South Amboy.
One of the largest delegations of
the party from this place that had
ever participated in the annual out
ing of the Jeffersonian party waited
at the steamboat dock. Nearly 400
Perth Amboyites walked the gang
plank of the Point Comfort
1t Is believed on this excursion a
man will be picked to run for nomi-
nation as assemblyman in place Of
semblyman Kirkpatrick who seems
loath to seek denomination. Ar
thur A. Quinn and George l.. Burton,
the other two assemblymen from
Middlesex have already filed their pc
titions for denomination. Practically
every other office, both state and
local, has been already definitely con
sidered, except that or excise com
missioner and alderman for the sixth
ward. 1t is highly possible that the
local party representatives will groom
two candidates to seek the nomina-
ton for these Offices during the fes-
tival on Long Island today. Chris
Jorgensen has been mentioned for
sixth ward alderman, but whether he
will actually be the candidate put
forth by the Democrats is still in
doubt.
1t Is estimated that nearly 500
went from New Brunswick, according
to information from that place. The
excursion is not expected back be

in accordance with the laws of the

My attitude toward this honor
must by this time be well under
stood. l have not sought 1t. l have
been governor of this state and for
me a second term awakens no per-

could have would be one of civic
duty. If the people think / can be
of service in this emergency I am
bound to consider their wishes.
These wishes must first be expressed
at the primary. If the voters think
some one else can serve them better
or as we'll, shall be entirely con-
tent. If they feel that I should be
their candidate, and so express them
selves at the primary l shall make
the best fight / can for the princi-
pies and policies of the party from
the day of the nomination to the day
Of election, 1 am subject to the par
ty call, If the call is made by the
rank and file.
AS am, therefore, a receptive and
not a self-seeking candidate, I shall
enter into no disputes or discussions
with anyone as to the merits of my
candidacy. That question leave en-
tirely to the people to decide. Pol
itics is not a game, but a serious
duty involving responsibility and
trust.
I am not an enthusiast over the
modern custom that prevails "of pro-
claiming my platform to the world"
The people should make the plat
form themselves. The Geran law
provides the time and place when
they shall do 1t through their ac-
credited representatives / shall,
however, in the near future Issue a
statement outlining the work of the
party on progressive measures and
declaring In general what l think the
attitude of the party should be on
progressive policies and party organ
ization. The voters have a right
to know what l think the Republican
party stands for and what it ought
to stand for and what l shall insist
it must stand for if I should be
chosen to lead It's fortunes.
This statement is meant IN no
wise to interfere with the ambi-
tions of any other candidate or can
didates, nor Is 1t to be regarded as a
criticism of them If they prefer to
take active means to press their
claims and If anyone of them should
win he will find In me loyad sup

Trenton, August 19.-Yielding to
the urgent requests that he enter

tlon Cor governor, former Governor
Edward Casper Stokes today issued
a formal statement announcing him.

II have decided to ascertain how
Ear these requests represent real
substantial public sentiment on this
question" Ex-Governor Stokes says,
"and | shall submit my name as a
candidate for the nomination for
governor to the Republican prima-
ries in accordance with the laws of
the state
Mr.. Stokes did not make any dec
laration of principles. He declares
that the people should make the
platform themselves, but he says that
later he will issue statement out
lining the work of the party on pro-
gressive measures and declaring in
general what he thinks the attitude
of the party should be on progress
sive policies and party organization.
Mr.. Stokes closes his statement with
a promise of loyal support to any
other candidate who may get the
nomination If he be not chosen by
the Republican voters as their stand
ardbearer.
The announcement follows closely
the withdrawal from the race of
former Senator John D. Prince, of
Passaic, who left the field in favor
of the former governor. The re-
naming Republican candidates are
Senator Carlton B. Pierce, of Union,
and former Congressman Charles N.
Fowler, of the same county.
1t was the general opinion at the
State House today that the decision
of Ex-Governor Stokes would mater
rally aid Republican cause in the
campaign. Without detracting from
the other candidates, there has been
a strong feeling of the need of man
who could rally the rank and file of
the Republicans and win back Pro-
gressive as we'll. Those who have
been turning to Stokes as the Moses
to lead the party in the present
emergency, claim that he is the one
man to lead the party in the present
fight. OF course, this opinion Is not
unanimous, as shown by the opposi-
