GUARDIAN FOR
GIRL; PARENTS
WERE DROWNED

The application of Lawyer Charles
X. Seaman, Jr., TO have Charles Wal
ters, of Goodwin street, appointed
as guardian of Anna Kistrup, has
been set aside, and on motion OF
Peter A. Peterson, made in the Or
phan's Court, Hans Kaisen has been
appointed guardian of the girl.
In 1903 Chris Kistrup and wife
were drowned in the sinking of the
Danish steamship Norge" at which
time 500 passengers lost their lives
off the north coast of Scotland. Mr..
and Mrs. Kistrup, who were residents
of this city, were returning to Den
mark for visit. The drowning
made orphans of three children,
Mary, Albert and Anna Kistrip. Jo-
seph Anderson, of Prospect street,
was appointed guardian of all three
children, but on becoming of age,
Mary and Albert Kistrup petitioned
the Orphans Court to have Charles
Walters, of 285 Goodwin street, ap-
pointed as their guardian. On behalf
of Walters, c. K Seaman, Jr., ap-
peared in court two weeks ago and
requested the appointment of Wal
ters also as guardian of Anna, the
fourteen year old child, against her
wishes.
The request was held over by the
court until Friday, when Attorney
Seaman again appeared in behalf OF
Walters and asked that his client be
appointed guardian of all the chill
dren in order to save the estate un-
necessary expense.
Lawyer Peter A. Peterson, repre-
senting Anna Kistrup, opposed the
motion and asked that Hans Kaisen,
with whom the girl had been living
for several years past, be appointed
her guardian. On the motion of Mr..
Peterson, Kaisen was appointed
guardian and the application of
Walters was denied.

81 CARDINALS IN
CONCLAVE TODAY
To ELECT POPE
(Henry Wood, United Press
Correspondent

Rome, Aug. 31:-The last funer-
al rite for his holiness Pope Plus X
having been read, the members of
the sacred college entered the con-
clave today during which a successor
to the late pope will be elected. Fif-
ty-seven cardinals, thirty-one Italian
and twenty-six foreigners, assem-
bled at the vatican today for the
ceremony preliminary to the cleo
ton. Among those absent were
Cardinal Began, of Canada, and Car
dinals O'Connell and Gibbons, of the
United States.
1t is expected that they will ar
rive by Thursday. Troops today en-
circled the vatican and st. Peter s.,
preventing the possibility of an in
terference of the election of the new
pope. The Italian government took
this means of guaranteeing the per
feet freedom of the cardinals during
the conclave. Although the greatest
secrecy surrounds the election of the
new pope, the vatican authorities
are unanimous in declaring that in
the early elimination the selection OF
q successor to Pope Plus has mar
rowed down to the choice of one of
mine cardinals. The new pope, it is
declared, is certain to be chosen
from among the following cardinals:
Naffl, Gastari, Ferrari, Lualdi, Fer
rata, Cassetta, Atliardi, Serafini and
Pompili.

LOUIS Fl. FRANKIE QUITS
MA YORALTY RACE; ALL
PETITIONS IN TOMORROW

Louis H. FRANKIE has withdrawn
from the mayoralty race and as a
result the Republicans are again
without candidate for the Office of
chief executive in Perth Amboy. 1t
appears that this decision has tended
to make the Democrats hold off. 1t
was stated last week by leading Dem
ocrats that the choice of the regulars
would be made public by today Mr..
FRANKIE gives as his reasons for with
drawing his desire to devote his time
to his private interests and to pre-
serve his health. He reached deci-
sion upon the subject yesterday after
deliberating for two days and de-
clared today that the Office Of mayor
of this city should be filed by a man
who could devote all of his time to T.
and he maintained the salary should
should be of an amount between
$4,000 and $500 a year.

In announcing his decision today,
Mr.. FRANKIE declared he did not care
to jeopardize his health and business.
He stated that when some leading
Republicans approached him last
Thursday, he declined to run. They
then urged him up to a session of the
Republican club. He was persuaded
to run. Eloquent speeches were
made concerning him and he then
consented to try for the Republican
nomination. However, he deliberated
upon the subject for the next few
days. He decided to inquire con-
corning the attention necessary in the
performance of duty as mayor and
he consulted Mayor Ferd Garretson.
AS a result of this action, Mr.. FRANKIE
arrived at the conclusion yesterday
deciding that 1t was best he did not
seek the office. He desires to devote
his attention to his barber business
and does not want to be bothered
almost continuously as the mayor of

FAST LINE CAR
JUMPS TRACKS

A derailed Newark-Perth Amboy
fast line trolley car blocked the
tracks of the Central railroad At
the Sewaren crossing for nearly an
hour yesterday afternoon.
The double-header from Newark,
composed of cars Nos. 3,529 and
1888, were on their way through
Sewaren. The conductor, 1t is de-
clared, let loose the derail switch
standard before the last truck of the
second car was clear and the con-
veyor left the track, blocking the
Central crossing. A wrecking car
was summoned and it was replaced
on the rails within an hour.
Cars 1851 and 1886, which left
Perth Amboy at 4:04 o'clock, were
held up by the derailed car and back
ed on the switch at Boynton Beach
to await the clearing of the track.
The cars backed too far, and the rear
truck of the second conveyor also left
the rails. All four cars were well
loaded, and the car derailed at the
crossing was Immediately vacated by
the passengers, though there was but
little excitement.

Occupy German Samoa.

London, Aug. 31:-The occupa-
tion of German Samoa by a British
expedition removes from the theatre
of war a possibility that might later
have become serious. When Japan
declared war on Germany, the Ger
man press In America insisted that
this action was designed so that she
might take not only additional ter
ritory in China, but also German
Samoa, which has strategic posi-
bilities when the safety of the Pan
ANA canal is considered.
That the British government was
determined that there should be no
ground for this position in America
is shown by the announcement that
an expedition sent from New Zealand
took over Apia, the capital of Ger
man Samoa Saturday. Apia is
twenty miles west OF Tutuila and

this city is. To avoid almost contin-
uous work on petit matters, Mr..
FRANKIE suggested that the mayor be
man who could not easily be reach
ed.
The report of Mr.. Franke's with
drawal caused stir in political
circles today. 1t seemed to change
the entire complexion of the mayor
atty situation. 1t has been stated
during the past few weeks that either
Richard Henderson or w. d. Voor-
hees would become the Democratic
choice for mayor, if the Republicans
did not put up candidate who was
considered foo strong, in which event
it is declared, Alderman-at-large W
Guy Weaver would become the Demo
cratic choice.
The party leaders must hurry with
the deliberation as to who shall be-
come regular nominees as tomorrow
is the last day in which they have to
file petitions.

GLASGOW WILL
Be REPAIRED

Rio Janeiro, Nov 20.-The British
cruiser Glasgow, which arrived here
Nov. II to repair. the damage sustain
ed in the naval battle off the Chilean
coast. Nov. 1, when German squad
ron sunk the British cruisers Good
Hope and Monmouth, has obtained
permission to enter drydock and to
receive the most urgent repairs. The
repairs must be completed within sew
en- days and at the expiration of that
time the vessel will Immediately sail
for the high seas.
The Glasgow has five holes in her
hull made by shells in the battle, and
four sailors were wounded.
From conversations with the off,
GERS of the Glasgow it became known
at the very beginning of the battle the
cruiser Good Hope, Rear Admiral Sir
Christopher Cdarock's flagship, con-
sidering the higher power of the
German squadron's guns, ordered the
Glasgow and the transport Otranto to
seek place of refuge. Notwithstand-
ing this order the Glasgow answered
the fire of the German cruisers and
received a number of shells.
In the first minutes of the fight, the
officers of the Glasgow say, the Good
Hope had one of her 9.2 inch guns
dismantled and then her gunpowder
stores exploded. Admiral Cradock
and the crews of the Good Hope and
the Monmouth went down with their
ships. n
The British battleship Canopus. the
officers say, speeding at only 16 knots
an hour, could not arrive in time to
participate in the battle.

British Account of
:. the Recent Fighting

London, Nov. 2o.-The following de-
scriptive account, which has been
communicated by an eye witness pres
ent with general headquarters, con-
tinues and supplements the narrative
published on Nov. II of the move
ments Of the British force and the
French armies in immediate touch
with it:
Nov, 16--The nature Of the situa-
ton on our front has not altered since
the last letter. The Germans have
continued to press generally along our
line and have focused their attention
mostly around Ypres, though there
has. up to now. not been a resumption
of the violent attacks against that
place.
Friday, the 18th. was windy. with
much rain. Trying as life in the
trenches is under such conditions, our
men have at least the consolation of
knowing that the enemy were in
worse plight, for the wind blew steadi-
ly in their faces.
''On our left, the morning passed in
desulatory shelling, which gradually
swelled in the afternoon into fierce
bombardment of the section of our line
running south to the Menin-Ypres
road, This .sski i'7 prelude to an at
tack along the while line. Around
Ypres the enemy rushed our trenches
at one point, but they were driven
out again and the assault was re-
pulsed. Here again our losses, though
heavy, were much less than those Of
the Germans.

AURORA
MURDER
MYSTERY

Aurora, ILL.,, Nov. 20.--Miss Jennie
Miller, who was struck down with an
iron wrench, and left unconscious in
the yard of the Free Methodist church
here Wednesday night, died today.
She had not spoken word nor OPEN
ed her eyes since the attack. Miss
Miller was SIS years old and was a So
cial mentor in Aurora, the daughter Of
a former mayor of the town.
The police say the mystry of the at
tack upon the quiet little spinster is
dark one, They waive the theory
of robbery with the belief that luna
tic seized the woman and crushed her
skull.
To the last minute the surgeons
tried to bring the woman back to con-
seriousness, at least long enough so
that she might give some clue as to
the identity of her assailant. A deli
cate operation, in which two pieces of
bone, which were pressing on her
brain, We're removed, failed to produce
the effect desired.
The police of several cities and
scores of citizens joined in the hunt
for the slayer. The police have point
ed to the similarity between the case
and that of Miss Theresa Hollander,
who was dubbed to death in a grave
yard several months ago, and for
whose death no one was punished.
