WARNED NOT TO
SCOLD |NPAPER,
SUES FOR LIBEL
Bradley Beach Wondering How
"Feud" Between Martins
and Geratys Started.
Especial to the Evening star.I

BRADLEY BEACH. June $50
ciety in Bradley Beach and Asbury
Park is today discussing a s2,5o0 libel
suit resulting from one neighbor's
calling another a "scold," but not in
that exact language.
Mrs. c. C. Martin, president of the
Women's Improvement League, and
Mrs. A. M. Geraty live across the
street from each other in Third ave-
nue.. Both are prominent in society,
but they do not speak. This adver-
tisement appeared in the Bradley
Beach Seacoast News, weekly:
Notice-Mrs. Martin is cautioned
that action will be brought against
her if she scolds or bulldozes my
daughter Ruth, which she did last
Monday at a certain private school
in Asbury Park Bradley Beach
people seem to quietly submit to
the rawlings of this woman, but we
do not intend to.
A. NJ GERATY.
1t is on this the libel suit is based.
Mrs. Martin thinks the intent of the
article is to make her neighbors be-
lieve she is "a low, mean and con-
temptible person. while the fact is
Mrs. Martin is prominent in clubs all
along the coast. and in all matters of
philanthropy. Every day she takes
her children to school in an electric
automobile, which she drives herself,
Il have been a good, true influence
in Bradley Beach since | came here, "
said Mrs. Martin last night. THE
mayor is a personal friend of mine.
am doing good work here. | have
the honor, respect and love of the $50
school children here through my
league. which now has 130 members
and has recently been incorporated.
1t is admitted that my league is do
ing the finest work that has ever been
done in Bradley Beach. 1t would
hurt me to have any of this pub
licity harm the league"
Apparently the trouble started over
the children of the two families. Mrs.
Martin is sure she could not have
offended any member of the Geraty
family. however, for the Martins are
unaware of the Geratys' existence.
Others refer to the trouble as a
''feud." All the facts are expected TO
come out when the suit is tried in the
Court of Common Pleas in Freehold,

HENLEY, June An arson squad

built in 1885, is portion of the tower

STEWART LOOKS
LIKE A WINNER
IN JERSEY CITY
Political Conditions Are in a
Topsy-Turvy State, With
Election Near.
DEMOCRATS SPLIT
ON FOUR CANDIDATES
Republicans, However, Are Uni
ted on Stewart and Will Sup
port Him on Partisan Lines.
Especial TO the Evening star.


JERSEY CITY, June IA careful
review of the political situation here
with the election for city commits
sioner but little more than a week
off. reveals woefully disturbed con-
ditions. Partisan politics, which, it
was loudly proclaimed by the dis
ciples of commission government
under the Walsh act, had been for
ever eliminated from Jersey Ctty's
public affairs, has been injected into
the struggle with greater force and
vigor than it ever figured before in
the history of Hudson county.
On June the voters Of the city
will go to the polls and choose from
five candidates a man to fill the Va
cancy caused by the resignation of
the late Commissioner James j. Fer
ris There are five candidates and
each is fighting hard. Those in the
race are County Supervisor James +.
O'Melia, former Assemblyman Henry
Byrne, John Edelstein, Thomas ].
Stewart and Dennis Mullin.
Stewart is the lone Republican, and
he is being openly backed by the
Republican organization on party
lines. In his platform Stewart :oes
not make it appear that he is
running as a Republican, bus as there
is no effort made by his friends to
even attempt to deny that they are
supporting him largely because he is
Republican, that point may be con-
sidered as settled.
Mayor Mark Nj. Pagan, who some
years back was mayor of Jersey City
as an out-and-out Republican, but
who now has a strong Progressive
list, is an enthusiastic Inemoer Of the
house of Stewart. This despite the
fact that his quondam corporation
Counsel George L. Record, has tied
up to the O'Melia caravan and Mayor
H. Otto Wittpenn in the effort to pull
the supervisor through. Byrne is
backed by the faction headed by Com
missioners Frank Hague, George w
Brensinger and H. Harry Moore.
/ Edelstein and Mullin are battling
on their own account.

the Democratic vote and but one

Whether mediation proceedings are
to continue with only the ENJOYS of
the United States and the Huerta
government being heard, the Consti-
tutionalists may be admitted or
whether negotiations may be further
held up by continued discussion on
the subject of rebel representation
was expected to be determined here
today. Since Friday all progress has
been blocked. Under present condi-
tions the A. B. C. mediators believe
negotiations should be continued with
only the American and Huerta repre-
sentatives participating President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan do not
believe an agreement carrying all as
surances of peace can be reached
without the concurrence OF eGneral
Carranza The extent to which TINS
issue may be carried depends on the
administration in Washington.
The Mexican ENJOYS have not yet
conferred with the mediators as to the
point raised by the American COM
missioners. They are playing wait
ing game, leaving the matter entirely
in the hands of the mdirs. If, new
ever, in the conversation at IL O'Clock
today the United States insists upon
some way being found to admit the
Carranzistas then it is expected the
mediators will communicate this IN
formation TO the MeXicans and their
views will be heard.
1t is pointed out here that the Uni
ted States might find itself in an en-
barrassing position should the me-
diators ignore General Carranza.
With the signing of the protocol the
responsibility of the mediatorS ends.
Should General Carranza capture
Mexico City, however, and set up

the work of the peace conferences
might be completely undone.
This government would be morally
bound to support provisional gov
ernment agreed upon in the media

the rebels will also be bound by the
protocol are desired before negotia-
tions are concluded. Justice Lamar
and Frederick w Lehman were In

taken today regarding rebel repre-

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The veil
of secrecy over the administrations
plans for Mexican mediation was i'm
penetrable today. Although President
Wilson himself talked with Justice
Lamar over the long distance tele-
phone, and Secretary Bryan ex-
changed long code kilograms with the
American commissioners at Niagara

situation was Withheld. 1t was ad-
mitted that American representatives

''The situation is such that prema-
ture publicity at this time might en-
danger a successful result" was the
Bryan statement This was the only
word obtainable. although the pre-
mier persisted in his optimistic belief
that a peaceful solution of the entire
Mexican situation is CERTAIN to obtain.
Officials generally professed to be-
lieve that the mediators will eventu-
allV admit CarranZa to their confer
ences. The very fact that he con-
drols all of Northern Mexico and is
about to establish a complete pro-
visional government in Saltillo, makes
him o potent factor that will have to
be considered in any plan for a
solidified Mexico. But it is admitted
that until after today's conference at
Niagara Falls any opinions of the
ultimate result must partake of
guesswork.
