TWO HURT IN FALL,
THIRD DROPS DEAD
Workman at Harrison Factory
a Victim of Heart
Disease.

Just as the Harrison ambulance
was leaving the plant of the Crucible
Steel Company. Harrison, where two
men had been injured in a fall today,
John Papp, bricklayer, at work in
the new boiler-house, was seen to
topple over. Worlxmen rushed to his
side and found him lifeless. Dr.
William B. McGlennon, of East New
ark, who was summoned, said Papp's
death was probably due to heart dis
ease. 1t Is not believed the accident
for which the ambulance was called
had any bearing on his death.
The men hurt in the fall were John
HUT, of GA Central avenue, this city.
and Gustav Snyder, of IL Davis ave-
nue., Kearny. They were working on
a scaffold at the works when they
met with the accident. They were
both taken to st. Jamess Hospital,
this city Snyder was able to go to
his home after receiving medical at
tention. HUT remained at the hos
pital, however.
The double mishap unnerved num-
Der of men at the works. The body
of Papp was taken to the Harrison
morgue. Deputy County Physician
Henry Alters, of Harrison, will visit
the morgue this afternoon.

Labor Conducting National
Campaign to Secure Its
Exemption in Trust Bills

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Organized
labor has started a campaign that
extends to every district in the
United States, and is designed to
force the Democratic congress to in
corporate In one of the pending anti
trust bills provision exempting "a
Dor organizations and farmers as
sociations< from prosecution under the
Sherman antitrust law.
An issue has thus been raised
which administration leaders ac-
knowledges may cause a good deal
of trouble in a political way. The
understanding here is that President
Wilson is opposed to the adoption
of a provision exempting labor from
the application of the antitrust laws.
Some leaders say that IL any of the
pending bills reaches the White
House with such an exemption the
President will promptly veto it.
While Democratic leaders are dis
inclined to discuss the subject, one of
them has stated that in a recent con-
ference the President expressed dis
approval of the exemption sought by
labor. This was at time when the
Presidents antitrust program was
being whipped into shape by leaders
in congress.
If the House judiciary committee
fails to adopt an exemption amend
ment, as now seems assured, such an
amendment is certain to be presented
in the House when the antitrust bills
are called up for action.

yer, who was president of the Climax,
Ca, Bank at the time of its sudden
failure in 1909, and a prominent figure
in South Georgia social life until his
sudden downfall and imprisonment
on charges of bigamy and obtaining
money under false pretences, is free
again after convincing Mississippi
judge that he is the victim of one
of the strangest cases Of mistaken
identity in real life or fiction On
the shoulders of his twin brother is
now laid the burden of the crimes
charged to Oliver.
Only two days out of the Mississippi
prison farm, Oliver turned up in At
lanta on Saturday, on his way to Lee
county, where he declared he was
going to make a new start in life
after nearly five years in prison.
His story rivals the tales of Ara
bian Nights" Chancellor P. q. Jones
commented in granting the writ last
week in the habeas corpus proceed
ings brought by divers lawyer In
Kinds county, Mississippi.
Oliver claims that he has a twin
brother whom he so closely resem-
bles that he has been compelled to
serve time for all of his brothers
crimes and escapades in the South
The brother is said to be in Hon.

divers pretty young wife, society
belle and the daughter of a prominent
resident, believed the charges
brought against him and married
another man, which she thought she
was free to do because of the charges
that Oliver as Harding" already had
another wife when she married him.
Oliver charges that the man who re-
placed him deliberately plotted this
part of his misfortune.
ut was my brother who married
the other woman" he asserts. He
and his brother have borne their
striking resemblance since they
