is said, and Kamyk ran to the wagon
to get a weapon, as did Murish. The
former grabbed a stick yard long
and about one and one-half inches in
diameter, with large knots on it.
Murish grabbed potato masher,
which was kept in the wagon as a
club, the police say. According to
the men In Jail a number of men
advanced toward them, some having
clubs and some brick bats and it was
in self defense that they struck
Barkus. Detectives Huff and Long
are investigating the story told by
the two men.
DR.. j. l.. Lund and DR.. G. w. Tyr
rell, who attended Barkus after he
was removed to the city hospital by
Patrolman Quinn declared this
morning that the victim was beaten
and mangled worse than any other
they ever attended A portion of
the cracked skull was driven into
the mans brain. The cracks made
by the big stick showed all over
the surface of the skull. The man
first was paralyzed In his legs and
arms, and then the heart, which
caused death after severe hemor-
rhages.
Mounted Officer Hartung took
charge of the dog pound today, and
found five CANNES, four of which
he killed, and one, which had IL
cense tag, he liberated.
John Barkus is said to leave
wife and four or five young children.
Arrangements for the funeral are
being made.

DISAPPOINTMENT.
To FIELDER AS
YACHT GROUNDS

When Abel Hanson's yacht,
Corona grounded off the end of
the Raritan Yacht Clubs pier, yes
terday afternoon, it not only proved
a disappointment for Governor
Fielder and some fifty other promi-
nent men of the state and city, but
according to members of the New
Jersey Harbor Commission, it pre-
vented President ]. Spencer Smith,
of Tenaf1y, head of the commission,
from making his initial trip on a
yacht.
According to members of the COM
mission, Mr.. Smith had some time
ago been invited to make a trip on
a handsome yacht, but when the
date rolled around he was Ill and
could not accept. His second inyi-
tation, to sail on the Corona, he
thought surely would be productive
of short voyage. His fellow COM
missioners say that the president of
the state board is fated not to travel
on yachts, since the second trip he
had planned resulted in a failure.

One of the bloodiest crimes in the
annals of the police, was committed
yesterday shortly before noon, when
Thomas Kamyk, twenty-one years
old, an assistant dog catcher, brain
ed John Barkus, thirty-nine years
old, of 391 Lawrence street, accord
ing to the police. Kamyk, whose left
arm Is amputated, it is declared,
struck Barkus over the head with a
huge, knotty stick, smashing the
mans skull open six inches in one
place, two and one-half inches in
another, and three inches in two
other places. Barkus was knocked
unconscious to the ground and re-
manned in that state until he died at
3 o'clock this morning at the city
hospital Kamyk and Poundmaster
Murish were arrested shortly after
1 O'Clock yesterday afternoon by De-
tective Sergeants Huff and Long.
The former is charged with man
slaughter and the latter Is held as a
witness, and as a possible accomplice.
The body of Barkus was taken in
charge by Undertaken Thomas
Burke.
According to the story told by the
two men in the lookup. they were
In Lawrence street catching dogs.
One canine was captured, which
seemed to provoke the wrath of the
whole neighborhood. Several men
approached them and demanded the
release of the dog. On being refus-

PROCRESS|VES
SUPPORT WILSON
CAUSING A TIE

A unique situation has arisen
from an attempt by Progressives to
block Republican success in the
wards in this city. At the primary
election Tuesday Alderman William
C. Wilson, Republican, and w. B.
Woodruff, Progressive, each received
two votes for the Progressive nomi-
nation for alderman in the first
ward. Mr.. Wilson is the regular
Republican nominee for the position
in that ward and the fact that he
shared in the Progressive vote is
taken by his friends as an indication
that he is favorite there, despite
strenuous opposition from the Demo-
cratic forces.
AS result of the tie, City Clerk
La Roe is in a quandary. The coun-
ty clerk has asked him for state
ment of pluralities for candidates at
the primaries. This morning the
city clerk secured the election laws
and was unable to find any provision
for a tie for a city nomination at
the primaries. He had about come
to the conclusion that the position
would have to be left vacant on the
Progressive ticket when he decided

mann. AS no means were ascer-
tanned for filling the position on the
Progressive ticket before the next
general election, 1t is believed that it
will be left vacant and there will be
no aldermanic candidates on that
ticket unless petitions are made out
as provided by law and are filed thir-
ty days prior to the election.

Confusion in Washington.

SpeCt0! by United Press Wfre-
Washington, Sept. 24.-With
Mexico threatened by a new revolt
of Villa against Carranza all plans
and hopes Of the administration for
peace recognition of the constitution
alists were thrown into utter confu-
sion today. The first important ac-
tion by the administration in the
new and admittedly most serious sit
uation was the order to Consul
George c. Carothers to confer today
at Chihuahua with General villa.
Carothers was under orders to sound
out Villa and ask him If he would
not consider other methods than
hostilities to settle his disputes
with Carranza Immediate return of
Paul Fullur,, of New York and posi-
bly, Governor John Lind to Mexico,
as personal representatives of the
President in a movement to strike
quick and attempt to prevent futher
bloodshed was also considered, it was
reported.
The announcement also included
the statement that the embargo of
arms across the border would not be
renewed at this time. 1t was pointed
out by the administration authori-
ties that it has never been the u.
s. policy to control settlement of
Mexico's internal affairs. High Off
cials were inclined to regard the
present break as a temporary erup-
ton, which was bound to come soon
er or later. They believe the situa-
ton will work itself out satisfactori-

The women accompanying the del
egation were charmingly entertained
by the Woman's Club, who distrib-
uted bouquets containing red and
white roses and a sprig of fern to
the mem bers wives, and escorted
them to fifty waiting automobiles,
which whirled them through the
principal portions of the city. AS
many of the men as possible took the
automobile tour, while those for
whom accomm odations could not be
secured in the limited number of au-
tomobiles, formed part of the big
crowd that listened to the speeches
at the session of the convention held

revenue war tax bill was the signal
for opening of bitter bombardment

the bill tomorrow intact without

The opening clash on the war

three hours longer than originally

Some weeks ago | read an article in
the News on the subject of Paradise.
The writer asks a number of interest

that Paradise is the throne of God. He
quotes from Revelations, which is a

1t is plain that the words of our
Lord to the thief are badly misunder-
stood. It is evident that the thief has
not yet received his promise for Christ
has not yet fully come into His king
dom and the thief has not yet heard
His voice and come forth. Possibly
the translatois made mistake in the
construction of the sentence. If Jesus
used the word, today" he doubtless
meant the promise was made on that
day, for it is plain that the promise is
not yet fulfilled. Let some one else
give their opinion on this vital sub

the holy scriptures more and keep ont
of political disputes and try to prac-
tice the golden rule, we would have
much better conditions. We know that
present conditions of society are de-
plorable, and the poor are greatly op-
pressed, but socialism. republicanism
or any other ism can never emancI-
pate the poor. Nothing but the king
dom of Christ will ever deliver the
poor and needy and break in pieces

pray, "Thy Kingdom come" for it
will surely come and the domination
shall not be given to the socialist par
