G. 0. P. DINNER
A BIG SUCCESS
First Event of the Kind in Hunter
don Enthusiastic Despite the
Weather and Roads.
FORMER GOV. STOKES SPEAKS
SPECIAL TO THE RECORD:

SPECIAL TO THE RECORD:
The first Republican dinner ever
held in Hunterdon County was
given at the Hotel Pennington, last
Saturday evening, and it was pro-
nounced complete success.
Although this was the first affair
of the kind ever held by the Re-
publicans of Hunterdon County, it
is safe to say that it will not be the
last. 1t seemed to be the opinion
of every one with whom your
correspondent talked that gatherings
of this sort would be of much bene-
fit to the G. O. P. 1t was under
the auspices of the county COM
mittee.
By $50 o'clock all the guests
were seated, and it was found that
every seat was occupied. The
scene was most pleasing one, the
tables being handsomely decorated
with beautiful flowers, and surround
ed by smiling and enthusiastic men.
1t seemed to act as an inspiration
for former Governor Edward c.
Stokes, who was the principal speak
er of the evening; it being the
general opinion of those who heard
him make many memorable ad
dress that he outdid himself on the
last occasion
Former Senator George H. Large
of Pennington, was POSTMASTER,
and few minutes after the guests
had been seated he sounded taps
which was the signal for an attack
upon the dinner, prepared by Host
C. Emery, of the Hotel Pennington.
1t was welcome signal, as many
at the dinner had travelled twenty
five miles or more through the
storm to attest their enthusiasm
for the G. O. P.
1t was a remarkable attendance,
weather conditions considered. Not
only was practically every town
and township in the county re-
presented, but County Chairman
James H. Mulheron and Simon Ger
son, both from Trenton, accompan-
led former Governor Stokes to
Pennington.

Those attending from Lambert
vile were County Chairman b
Frank Barley, Mayor Samuel +
Morse, Councilman Andrew Foltz
Chief of the Fire Department
George w .Arnett, former Prosecutor
Walter F. Hayhurst, Secretary OF
Board of Education Thomas Thorne,
former Councilman A. G. Smith,
John G. Micke, Cornelius Arnett and
Harry M. Moorhead.
At the close of the dinner the
POSTMASTER introduced Miss Marie
Schafer, who sang A Perfect Day, "
by Carrie Jacobs-Bohn. Norman
Lands accompanied her on the
piano. 1t was splendid rendition,
and Miss Schafer is an artist of I'M
usual talent. There was prolonged
applause at the close of the singing,
and for an encore she sang The
Star Spangled Banner" every diner
rising to his feet at the first note
and joining her in the chorus.
Right in the midst of this former
Senator Large, who is known to
keep very good hours (when he is
home,) created quite some amuse-
ment by trying to rush things a bit
by introducing Governor Stokes be-
fore the encore was given. The
reminder from a fellow committee
man caused him to offer blushing
apology for thinking it so late lit
was 800.
Former Governor Stokes paid his
respects to the Democratic ad-
ministration, both state and national
winning round after round of ap-
plause whenever his remarks re-
ferred to the weakness of the Will
son policies.
Probably the strongest point the
speaker made, from local stand
point, was his statement that the
imperialistic State Board of Education
seemed to have more influence with
Governor Fielder than all the rest
of the people in New Jersey COM
bined. He said that Governor
Fielder had vetoed the very moder-
ate, bill, which gave to local boards
of education the right to say how
much money be spent for school
buildings. This was greeted with vo-
ciferous applause, showing that a
popular chord had been touched.
At the conclusion of former
Governor Stokes address he was
heartily applauded, and referred
to by the assemblage as NewJersey's
next United States Senator. This
last allegation was greeted with
three cheers and tiger, which left
no doubt in the minds of those
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1914-04-30

present that the Hunterdon County
Republicans were for Stokes fol-
Senator.
Scarcely had the ToastmasteI
Large finished the announcement
that the audience would be pleased
to hear from others, when there
was a cry of Parker! Parker!
Parkerl Hunterdon's next Con-
gressional candidate!' from all
parts of the room.
Mr.. Parker arose to speak, but it
was some moments before he could
make himself heard above the tu-
multi of applause. 1t left no doubt
that the Hunterdon County Repub-
licans would be for Willard c. Par
ker for Congress. He spoke briefly,
and was we'll received.
Mr.. Parker has not yet formally
announced his candidacy for the
Congressional nomination, but his
friends think that it will, soon be
Forthcoming, in view of the unani-
nous encouragement it received at
this dinner.
Joseph F. Flynn offered a resolu-
ton of thanks to E. P. Baylor, the
Republican member of the State
Committee, saying that he was the
original dinner man, 'and but for
the gray matter stored under his
auburn locks the opportunity for
this gathering would not have been
afforded US. Mr.. Flynn said that,
though Rollin Parker and Senator
Large had worked like beavers, the
real credit was due Mr. Baylor, as
he had suggested it. Mr.. Baylor
modestly protested that the credit
was not his, but the assemblage
thought he was "fibbing, "and passed
a resolution of thanks unanimously.
The dinner, which was served by
Clement Emery, proprietor of the
Hotel Pennington, was up to the
high standard he usually sets, and
was much appreciated. 1t consisted
of Chicken, a la Hotel Pennington,
cold boiled ham, creamed asparagus
on toast, French peas, creamed Ber-
muda potatoes, cranberry jelly, eel
cry, radishes, new spring onions,
sliced tomatoes, pickles, stuffed
olives, cheese, toasted crackers,
California oranges, bananas, Oregon
apples, ice cream, cake, coffee, CT
gars, cigarettes.
After short social session,
the visitors returned to their homes
expressing a wish that many more
gatherings like this might be held.

C0NFEREES WRESTLE
ON HOME RULE BILL
Factions in Deadlock Fail to
Effect Compromise Out
lined by King.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, July 23.-The Irish home
rule deadlock is unbroken. King
Georges efforts to effect a compro-
mise between the warning political
factions have failed.
This was the indication today after
third conference before representa-
tives of the government and leaders
of the various parties at Buckingham
palace. Today's meeting was longer
than either of those that preceded it,
but the only official communication
Immediately issued was to the effect
that Premier Asquith had interviewed
the King at the conclusion of the con.
ference.
The length of todays meeting,
which was expected to be the last,
gave rise to an early hope that sue.
cess would crown the negotiations, but
Premier Asquith showed no elation
when he left the palace.
Both he and Chancellor Lloyd.
George were cheered by the throng
of spectators when they reached the
palace, but while the conference was
going on the crowd was enlarged by
the arrival of many followers of the
conservative chieftains and cheers
were mingled with "boos" when the
cabinet members departed.
Liberal newspapers declared today
that the peace conferences would be
without result owing to the efforts OF
the conservatives to force general
election. They called upon the Pre-
mier to stand firm and give his op
ponents no further opportunity to
claim that he was weakening in his
position.
Liberal leaders said that the dead
lock originated over the problem o1
fixing the Ulster areas to be exempted
from the provisions of the home rule
bill

This is a useless question to ask Of
any one who has been more or less a
frequent patron of the various railroad
companies, but if by some odd freak
of chance you haven't made his inter-
esting acquaintance you will have the
opportunity to do so the next thirty
days, while the diminutive Thomas

cation, of more than two days time,
since he began to earn his living,
forty-nine years ago.
Gale, who is now 81 years young,
began work for news company near
ly a half century ago selling news
papers, magazines, candy, etc, to
travellers on railroad trains. He start
ed in this line when the railroads
were using wood-burning engines and
he is still in the game with the same
old pep" and enthusiasm.
To sum up mis- pedigree concisely,
T. Gale is the prince of railway news
butchers'-the dean of the whole row

PUT STAMPS
ON LETTERS RIGHT
Post Office Educates Patrons
Breaking Up Troublesome
Practices.

After a long campaign of education
through schools and other sources,
such as the backs of stamp books
which the government issues, the post
office department has succeeded in i'm
pressing on the public the necessity of
placing stamps in the upper right-hand
corner of envelopes. A few years ago
stamps placed in different corners of
envelopes, according to the stamp
code" with which lovers exchanged
messages, gave postal employees much
trouble.
Continued agitation against the prac-
tice has broken it up, according to
Lawrence Handley, superintendent of
mails, who said a misplaced stamp on
an envelope is very rare. Most viola
tions of the rule are committed by for
eigners who scrawl all over the letter,
placing the stamp in the only available
space left.

FURY HURLS STONE
IN PALACE WINDOW
Suffraget Interrupts Confer
ence on Irish Home Rule
With King Georeg.

LONDON, July 23.-Eluding guards
who had been stationed about Buck
ingham Palace to prevent an attack
by militant suffragets lone fury
stormed the residence of King George
today while representatives of all
political parties were conferring on
the Irish home rule and created in
tense excitement.
AS soon as the ministers had en-
tered the palace the woman dashed
from the crowd of spectators that had
watched the arrival of the political
leaders and darted through the gates
and across the courtyard to the visit
ors' entrance.
Confronted there by a palace at
tache and thrust back, the woman
picked up stones and hurled them
through the window. One fell into
the room in which the home rule con.
ference was being held and narrowly
missed the head of Premier Asquith
The guards quickly recovered from
their astonishment and prevented any
further damage. The woman took to
her heels shrieking, "Votes for WON

women!" but was captured after a
short chase.

BOARD TO ACCEPT
FIRST CEMENT ROAD
Charles Recommends North
Tenth as Substantially
Built Highway.

Not a perfect street, but a substan-
tial one," was the way City Engineer
Charles described Richmond's first
concrete street, North Tenth street
from F to II street, when the final
assessment roll for the improvement
was brought before the board of pub.
lie works this morning. After Mr.
Charles gave his opinion the board &C.
cepted the improvement. Its total
cost is $5,176.29. of which the city S
share is $2,4OO. The cost also includes
cement curbs.
Mr. Charles said some of the ex.
pansion joints in the street were too
high but the workmanship had been
as thorough as possible and the ma
terial used Of excellent quality.
III an automobile travels over the
street at the legal rate of speed the
high expansion joints will not be
noticed" said Mr.. Charles. How.
ever If they travel over the road 25
or 80 miles an hour they will get some
eolts."
1t was suggested that some times
physicians going to the hospital had
to drive their machines at high rate
of speed.
1t was reported to the board today
that the street car company was con
templating putting down brick on its
part oSthe Main street hill paving i'm
provemeDt which would not conform
with the other brick and the board
ordered the city engineer to notify the
company that it would be expected tC
conform with the specifications.

BARNES BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST ROOSEVELT
FOR ALLEGED LIBEL

NEW YORK, July 23.-William
Barnes, Jr.,, chairman of the Republi-
can state committee, stated today that
he had authorized his attorneys to
bring suit for libel against Theodore
Roosevelt. The suit will be based on
the statement issued last by the col
onel last night in which he said: In
New York state the two political ma
chimes are completely dominated, the
one by Mr.. Barnes, the other by Mr..
Murphy The state government is rot
ten throughout, and this is directly due
to the dominance in politics of Mr..
Murphy and his sub-bosses acting
through such entirely subservient
agents as Governors Dix and Glynn,
aided when necessary by Mr.. Barnes,
and the sub-bosses of Mr.. Barnes.
These bosses do not hold public
offices themselves, yet they really
form the all-powerful invisible govern
ment which is responsible for the NAL
administration and the corruption in
public office in this state

BECK FAvORS USE
OF LETTER BOXES
Postmaster Believes Individ-
ual Receptacles Would Inn
prove Service.

Every house served by the post
office carriers in the city should have
letter box" said Postmaster Beck
today. The advantage of having some
receptacle for the mail was also en-
phasized by Superintendent of Mails
Handley.
Boxes Mr.. Beck said, would save
the carriers much time and insure re-
ceipt of the mail by the citizens in
good condition. Often the civil serv-
ice men find doors and screens
latched when they make their rounds
When the. house has no box he does
not always know what to do with the
mail, as many persons complain If
the letters are scratched when slipped
between the door and the sill. Ef-
forts to put the mail where it will be
safe take up much of the carriers
time if he meets these conditions at
many houses.
If each house were supplied with a
good, strong, neat-appearing box, Mr..
Beck said, the civil service employees
could make their deliveries rapidly
with the assurance that the mail
would be safe and would be in no
danger of blowing away. Postmaster
Beck will make an effort to create a
more general use of boxes.
There is no postal law, he said,
by which use of boxes could be re-
quired, although the use has been
made universal in many cities by re-
peated requests of the post office. Be-
fore extension of service into new
territory one of the requirements is
that each house shall have a recepta-
Gle. Mr.. Beck said most of the boxes
first installed have rusted out and
have never been replaced by better
ones.

PAWNBR0KER MAKES
300 PER CENT LOAN
TO BORROWER OF $4
Elkanah Simmons Refuses to
Plead in Police Court on
Charge of Practicing
Usury Here.

Il can not get justice in this court,
and l won't make no plea until I get
a change of judges" exclaimed Elk
anah Simmons, aged pawnbroker, who
possesses a flowing white beard and a
pair of shrewd eyes, when charged i'll
city court this morning with having
made loan which bears 800 per cent
interest
Simmons admitted he had made no
formal application for new judge
to hear his case, but said he would
have such action taken as soon as he
secured a lawyer. His case was con-
tinued until Friday morning.
II know what this is-it's set-up
job on me-" the pawnbroker exclaimed
as he left the courtroom.
Three Hundred Per Cent Interest.
The formal charge against him reads
that he has engaged as petty money
lender without license from the
clerk of the circuit court, by lending
a sum less than $3.50, to-wit, four
dollars, to Lester Crull, upon which a
rate of interest amounting to 800 pei
| cent, 292 per cent more than the legal
rate, was charged. Under the terms
of the loan Crull was to pay back tc
Simmons within sixty days the priI
cipal, 81, and the interest, amounting
to So. The loan was made, the affi
davit sets forth, with set of microm
eters as collateral security.
Several days ago the theft of Sc,
Of micrometers was reported to the
| police. A set was found at the Sim
mons pawnshop, but it was not the sci
sought by the police. However, Prose
cutor Keller says, the investigation re
vealed the fact that Simmons was
| lending money without license.
Simmons, the prosecutor asserts
has always represented that he was
not engaged in the loan business, that
he always bought and sold all articles
in his place. The prosecutor says
he has proof Of this in Simmons pawn
broker report to the chief of police, re
! quired by ordinance.
