was victor over Nels Hanson who was
expected pretty general throughout
the department to carry off the laur-
els, by only three votes. Peter l..
Larson came only two votes behind
Hanson, the former receiving seven
ty-three votes, Hanson, seventy-five,
and Anderson, seyenty-eight.
The sudden decision of Mr.. Moore
to run, according to Mr.. Hanson, was
slap at him, and he attributes his
defeat to this so-called dark horse
candidate. However, though the fol-
lowers of Peter Larson admit that
they believe the candidacy of Moore
was brought about to injure the in
terests of Mr.. Hanson, they contend
that it robbed Larson of the num-
Der of votes necessary to make him
a winner. There Is hardly a man in
the department, unless Mr.. Moore
himself, that but declares the re-
suits Of the election were turned by
Mr.. Moore's candidacy. Though he
only received seven votes, the Lar
son men contend that they needed
only six of these to make their man
a winner, and assert that their man
would have received the whole or
most OF the seven, as the ballots cast
for Moore bore the printed names of
Hanson and Anderson, which were
scratched. None showed that Larson
was scratched to be replaced by the
name of Moore.
1t was generally believed among
firemen not connected with the COM
panies having candidates in the race
that Nels Hanson had the best
chances of being elected second as
sistant, until the dark horse" was
sprung last night just before the
opening of the polls. Then it was
that no one could predict what the
results would be. Mr.. Hanson Is
satisfied that he would have received
three or four of the seven votes cast
for Moore, the former number of
which would have tied him with
Anderson, and the latter of which
would have made him victorious.
Mr.. Hanson declares Moore has some
grievance against him.
Mr.. Moore asserts he only ran for
fun, but his action is considered as
significant by the majority of the
firemen. Most of the members of the
Lincoln Engine Company diselaim
knowledge of his intention until Just
before the election, and declare it
was certainly not a move on the
company's part. They want the other
companies to understand that the
dark horse" candidate was of his
own grooming. Mr.. Moore was in
front of the polling place early and
working industriously, as were the

CHARGE DRIVER
WITH HOMICIDE
ChaS. J. Bach, Chauffeur of
Auto That Killed Child, Ar
raigned Before Recorder.
HE WAS LATER RELEASED

On a technical charge of homicide,
Charles J. Bach. chauffeur of the au-
tomobile truck that crushed to death
Hyman. four year old son of Philip
Levy, of PIG Hall avenue, at noon
yesterday was arraigned before Act
ing Recorder Somogyi yesterday af-
ternoon. The man was released in
the custody OF his lawyer, James S.
Wight. representing the Wagner Pas
try Company, with the provision that
the man Immediately apply for bail
before Judge DAILY, of the court of
common pleas, to await the action of
the grand jury. Judge DAILY is ex-
pected TO fix bail for the chauffeur
today
Before being released yesterday
afternoon Chief of Police Burke Sc
cured a statement from the man to
be used as evidence. and two wit
nesses appeared before the acting re-
corder to testify that the chauffeur
was not running the machine at a
great speed and that the killing of
the child was purely accidental. The
police are inclined to take this YER
sion of the story as no other wit
nesses to refute such testimony have
come forward and the father of the
child has taken no action to prose
cute him.
1t seems that the child was return
ing from a candy store when the ia
tai accident occurred. He was in the
act of crossing the street when the
automobile ran him down. and one
Of the wheels crushed his chest, arms
and lungs flat against the pavement
The child was buried shortly be-
fore 6 O'Clock last night in the Mu-
tual Aid cemetery.

HIGH TIDE CAUSE
Of MANY FLOODS
Roads and Trolley Tracks
Flooded; Causing Delay to
Traffic and Damage.
A MENACE TO SMALL BOATS

Another extremely high tide
wrought havoc along the waterfront
| in this city and vicinity late last
night. 1t caused roads and trolley
| tracks to be flooded, delaying traffic
and caused damage to small craft In
and about this city. Added to this
came chilling and otherwise dis
agreeable spell of weather, still prev
alent today, which caused a baseball
game scheduled for Amusement Park
| this afternoon to be called off; made
| people going out of doors wear
winter wraps, and those indoors to
seek comfort through heating appa-
ratus.
Tides have been unusually high
! for the past several nights and have
| threatened to do severe damage,
especially in the vicinity of the beach
resort at Morgan. Waters of Rari-
tan bay and Cheesequake creek rose
| to point estimated to be higher than
| it had been in some time, about 10
o clock last night. 1t flooded some
of the bungalows there and caused
furnishings and parts of the summer
| dwelling places to drift away. Water
covered portions of the Keyport road
near Morgan made riding in automo-
biles and horse-drawn vehicles dan
gerous as we'll as disagreeable. Holes
resulted in the roadbed when temper
| ary filings were washed away by the
receding waters.
At one time the water was so high
| that it was impossible to row a small
boat under the drawbridge in Cheese
quake creek at Morgan Old resi-
dents thereabouts declared that the
tide rose even higher than that OF
April 20, 1913, which was one OF
the highest ever recorded there.
Two trolley cars of the Jersey
Central Traction Company were Grip
| pied when crews tried to run them
through water which flooded the road
and track near Matawan creek. The
| motors were crippled when filled
with water and the cars had to be
towed afterwards. For time cars
| could not be run between Morgan
and keyport, and about / / o'clock 1t
was reported that there would be
several stranded persons in Keyport,
as there would be no late trip to the
Amboys. However, the water had
receded sufficiently about that hour
to permit cars to be run and the last
one for South and Perth Amboy went
through on almost regular time.
Trolley service over the Public
Service line between this city and
Sewaren and other points was delay
ed late last night because of high
water, which rose over the track
north of the Woodbridge creek
bridge.
1t was reported along shore today
that damage had been done to small
boats, some of which had been sent
adrift by the rising waters. Some
had been flooded and contents had
drifted away.

Vera Cruz, May 13.-There was
great doubt in the minds of Ameri-
cans here whether United States Con-
sal John r. Silliman, a class mate
of President Wilson, had really been
released from prison in Saltillo, as
reported from Mexico City.
Consul Canada here received word
from the Brazilian minister in the
capital that General Huerta had in
formed him Silliman had been set at
liberty. He said the consul would
be aided in reaching Mexico City and
from there sent to Puerto, Mexico.
1t Is also reported that Silliman will
arrive here Friday, but a dozen
Americans with their families, who
were In prison with Silliman have
reached Vera Cruz and they declare
that as far as they know Silliman Is
still in Jail,
Americans reaching here declare
they were in prison for fifteen days
with the class mate of the Presi-
dent. Silliman was in communicate,
even the British vice consul was not
permitted to see him.

Ten Americans Have Been Re-

Tampico, May II, Via Galveston

stitutionalsts. under General Pablo
Gonzales, have pressed closer on Tam
pico than they have been before
Re-enforcements came to both sides
after the rebel check on Friday, but
the attacking force seemed to have the
advantage in the matter of big guns
Since Monday their cannon have been
sounding clearer to the warshlps In
the outer harbor, and their shells are
bursting almost regularly in the out
skirts OF the city itself.
Only meager reports come out to the
ships and these only from federal
sources, but they tell that the rebe!
guns have made breach in the fed
eral forti1cations six miles outside the
city limits, running south from the
Panuso river.
AS framework to the artillery pic
ture is long crescent of heavy black
smoke on the horizon which, the fed
erals say, is caused by burning oil
tanks and wells, set in flames by the
rebels. The entire country, they say,
has been devastated TO the north, west
and southwest by the attacking col
umns, and many Of the inhabitants
have been murdered. 1t is war to
the end, 1t is added, and no neutrals
are recognized on either side.
From the same unofficial sources
comes the report that the ten Ameri-
cans marooned forty miles to the west
of Tampico up the Panuco river have
been killed.

Blow to Mediation Plan.

Washington. May l3.-The Mexican
situation Is in worse muddle than al
any other time since the mediation
proceedings began. The new embar-
easements came chiefly through the
disclosure that Huerta has In his poe
session a paper signed by the com

light on Lobos island, off the gulf
coast Of Mexico, was taken by force
by the United States.
This remarkable development, fol
lowing Huerta's protest to the media,

constituted a violation of the armis-

that there was any seizure of the is

A number OF INSCRIPTIONS Baking
Powder Manufacturers vigorously com

Baking Powder. Yelling the real rea-
son for their malicious attack beneath
a contention that the dried white or
fresh hens eggs is an adulterant
This assault against the white OF
egg, a product which everyone knows
is pure and wholesome, Is so absurd
and unjust il has not only been roundly
ridiculed. but severely criticised by
many eminent editors.
White of egg is not only one OF tho
most desirable, but one OF the most
expensive ingredients employed in the
making of Baking Powder.
So naturally the Baking Powder
Trust, with all of a trusts greedy de-
tempts to protect It's selfish inter-
ests by refusing to use albumeD and
dlscrediting it's use in Calumet.
The cost of white of egg prohibits
its use in Cheap Big Can Powders and
prompts the manufacturers OF these
inferior powders to issue intimidating
warnings in an effort to even prevent
a trial OF Calumet.
It's a foul tight an unfair fight,
against the manufacturers of a roduc
of proven purity and efficiency, and
equally unfair to the housewife who
allows her judgment to be swayed by
false claims. For IL deprives her of
an absolutely dependable leayener or
unexcelled quality-and denies hev
family the d~eiiciously tender and per-
fectly wholesome bakings that can be
produced with Calumet Baking Pow
der.
There can be no doubt as to the pur-
ity and desirability Of white of egg as
a Baking Powder ingredient.
Calumet is sold at a remarkably rea-
sonable price-for less than is asked
for Trust Brands-and only a few PEN
MES more han Cheap Big Can Pow

guarantee of money back, every cent
