Woman's Struggles.

Roekaway Beach, Aug. 3.-Edward
OIoughlin, a y-eight-yesr-old po-
liceman, and Miss Bertha Metz, of Ar
verne. narrowly escaped drowning here
to-day when the girl, whom O'Lough-
lin was irving TO save. became panic
stricken as he was supporting her IN
the water. The arrival of boat that
put out from the beach saved them
&C they we're sinking.
Miss Metz was caught in the under
tow and screamed for aid. Martin
Rose. a life guard, heard her and swan
out TO her. OToughlin, who had just
arrived at the beach to go swimming,
went out to assist him. Rose left the
policeman with the girl while he re-
turned TO the beach to get boat, as
the undertow was so strong as TO make
IL impossible for them to swim ashore.
Miss Metz became excited, began to
struggle, and exhausted the strength OF
both. ~ q,
She was revived after being lifted
on board the boat. She was taken TO
the Rockaway Beach Hospital. O'Lough-
lin was able to resume his duties IN

STANDARD OIL TO
CUT PRODUCTION
Thousands of Employees May
Lose Jobs-New Jersey Co.
Makes Announcement.

According to statement issued by
the Standard Oil Company OF New Jer-
sey yesterday, that company will begin
at an early date to curtail its produc-
ton on account of the war conditions
abroad. The statement follows:
"The Standard Oil Company New
Jersey may be compelled on account
of the interruption of foreign COM
merce, resulting from the war situa-
ton in Europe, TO materially curtail It's
output of all petroleum products.
"This sudden loss of market, coupled
with the very large accumulated stocks
of finished products now on hand, Will
necessarily limit their ability to pur-
chase crude oil.
AT the mome;it it IS impossible to
say TO what extent lad how long this
unfortunate condition will continue"
AS il has been shown at recent in
vestigations that the New Jersey COM
pany put out about 81 per cent OF the
oil products Of the country, the curtail-
ment of its production means a greatly
restricted market for independent pro-
ducers. As many naval vessels in Ger
many and England are of the oil burn
ing class, il is assumed by the COM
pany that oils will be among the con-
traband products.
The absence of any great buying Of
crude oil by the Standard subsidiaries
will not only hurt Independent oil pro-
ducers, but will cause a general de-
preston in the Of. centres and cause
the discharge Of hundreds, if not thou
sands, Of oil we'll employees and of
those engaged in the manufacture and
repairing of oil country derricks and
other goods. The manufacturers of
steel oil pipe will also suffer.

BALK PELL RECElVERSHIP
Colonel Thompssn and Others
Object to Men Suggested.

Creditors of the firm Of S. n. p. Pell
q Co., whose failure was announced
Just before the close of the Cotton Ex-
change on Friday. were unable TO agree
upon a temporary receiver in bank
ruptcy for the firm yesterday, Colonel
Robert NJ. Thompson. a special partner
IN the firm and a creditor for S3,000,000,
opposing the selection of Arthur K.
Marsh, one Of the managers Of the Cot
ton Exchange and the nominee of fifty
members OF the exchange, whose claims
aggregate 100000.
Judge Grub, of the United States
court, before whom the case was ar
gued, refused to appoint either man,
and, after William Jay had been sug-
gcsted by the smaller creditors, ad-
journed the case until to-day, intimat-
ing that he would appoint neither OF
the men, the impression being that the
person who would be named would be
one not identified with either faction
Of the Cotton Exchange.
David II. Miller urged the qualifica-
tions OF Mr. Marsh, quoting his long
experience in the cotton business and
his high standing among the members
of the exchange.
Frederick r. Campbell objected to
Mr. Marsh because of his close associa-
ton with the Cotton Exchange. He
proposed Theodore II. Price, now one
of the sssignees of the firm, who has
not always been in accord with the
management of the exchange.
Thomas S. Fuller. counsel for Colonel
Thompson, said his clients claim Of
S3,000,000 represented about two-thirds
Of the entire liability of the firm. lie
favored the selection Of Mr.. Price.

UNI must be maintained by that BODY
while the European war situation was

Following Mr.. Underwood's warning,
Speaker Clark asserted that when the

quorum warrants would be issued Tor
absent members who had declined TO
return voluntarily in the present crisis.
81 think under the existing condl-
tions il is not safa TO have less than a
quorum of members in Washington

the membership will stay here, at ieast
until we can see further into the tut
ure."
Speaker Clark added word Of warn
ing, saying: "The next time there rs
no quorum the chair announces that
unless some member makes motion
to have writs issued, the chair viii sug-
gest that such motion be made and

in and il will not do any member any

SUFFRAGISTS WILL
MOBILIZE FORCES
200 Plan to Advance on Repub-
lican Primaries to Capture
Delegates for Cause"

Two hundred suffrsgists drafted by
the Womans Suffrage party, will
mobilize at their headquarters here
Thursday to attack the Republican pri-
maries to be held at the various Repub-
licsn clubs that day. The advance has
been fixed for 10 o'clock, when the pri-
marics open.
As a matter of fact the attack will
be feebly resisted; he Republicans
capitulated days ago. Every mans
handkerchief was a white flag, Mrs.
James Lees Lsidlaw said yesterday,
when the suffragists gave notice of the
massing of their troops. From Repub-
lican leaders in every Assembly district
came kind letters, not only inviting the
sufragists to invade their primaries,
but asking them to bring along what
ever ammunition they had in the way
of argument, and to fire as much as
they liked. 1t won't be the fault of
their craftsmanship if every delegate
to the convention at Saratoga doesn't
90 instructed to see a suffrage plank
nailed to the platform.
The responses from the Democrats
have not been so satisfactory, Mrs.
Laidlaw said. As this party has no
primaries, the suffragists asked per-
mission to attend the final meetings of
their different Clubs before the conven-
ton at Saratoga, August 25. In some
cases this has been granted, but some
clubs have followed the example of
the one in the 18th Assembly District,
which declares that no woman's foot
ever has or ever shall cross the thresh-
old of its clubhouse. Not that this will
deter the suffrage army. The soldiers
will camp outside with a table of lit
erature and lombard every politician
who appears.
Most of the women who are coming
from various country resorts for
Thursdays engagement will remain
over Friday, and eat Sacrifice lunch
con" at the party headquarters. Each
suffragist will provide the favor for
her own plate, and the favor will be
some cherished piece of jewelry, a sum
of money or a check-whatever she can
give for the melting pot the National
Woman Suffrage Association has set up
for the benefit of the campaign states.
