CHIEF TOWEY
RESIGNS FROM
STATE BOARD
Duties as Firemen's Home
Manager Conflict With Those
of Newark Job.

TRENTON. Aug. 21.-John ].
Towey, a deputy chief in the Newark
IRE department, has rendered to
Governor Fielder his resignation as
member of the board of managers OF
the State Home for Firemen, located
at Boonton, Morris @county. The let
ter of resignation was dated August
Is. and contained request that 1t
take effect Immediately. The resig-
nation was accepted, TO become eff
fectlve August 90
In giving his reasons for resigning
Chief Towey told the governor that
to discharge the duties of manager
of the institution and to do justice
both to himself and the nome would
seriously conflict with his duties as a
chief In the Newark fire department.
and that it was out of the question to
attempt to hold both positions
A man would have to be mastere of
his own time and have lots Of leisure
moments to keep track of doings at
the home, the chief added, and this
could not be done by person in the
active service of a fire department
of the proportions and Importance of
Newark's.
It Is understood that Joseph Firth,
former mayor of Phillipsburg, has
also resigned as a manager OF the
Firemen's Home. His reason for so
doing. it is said Is inability to give
the office the time and attention the
duties of the position call for.
John A. Danner, of Perth Amboy,
resigned as a member of the board of
managers a week or two ago, and has
since been appointed as superin-
tendent Of the home, succeeding
Charles f. McCraith, of Newark,
who resigned.
Mr.. McCraith tired of the work
some time ago, and gave notice of
his intention to quit.
While the Boonton home is delight
fully located and the building mag
nificently appointed, it is too far from
Newark's famous -Four Corners to
suit Mr.. McCraith and his family.
For several years there had been
considerable friction among members
of the board of managers and the
system of management in vogue.
superintendent Brown was deposed
and McCraith appointed. McCraith
had been a member of the board of
managers, and his faction was domi-
nant.

LONDON. Aug. 21.-The letters
which passed between Gar Nicholas
and the kaiser before the declarations
OF war have been published In Ber-
lin and sent to the London Daily
News. They show the irreconeilable
differences of opinion which set at
variance all possibilities OF peace.
These letters follow:
The kaiser TO the car July IS.
Il have learned with the greatest
concern OF the impression which Aus
tria-Hungary's action against Seryia
has made In your empire. The I'M
scrupulous agitation which had been
fostered In Servia for years has lead
to the detestable crime Of which the
Archduke Ferdinand was the victim,
The spirit in which the Servlans muir
dered their own king and queen still
live In that country. You will no
doubt agree with me that we, too,
you and l, as we'll as all sovereigns,
have a common interest In insisting
that all those who are morally re-
spOnsible for the horrible crime should
receive the punishment they deserve.
ION the other hand, I by no means
ignore the difficulty which you and
your government meet in resisting the
pressure of public opinion. Remem-
bering the strong ties of cordial
fri ndship which have for so long
un ted us. l am using all my influence
to induce Austria Hungary to seek
q frank and satisfactory understand
ing with Russia. l confidently hope
that you will support my efforts to
remove all the difficulties that may
yet arise.

friend and cousin. WILLIAM.

Il can foresee that shall soon
be unable to resist the pressure which

a calamity such as a European war

our old friendship to do everything
possible to prevent your ally from
proceeding too far. NICHOLAS"

graphed:

promises, SO long as they remain only
on paper, cannot altogether be relied
upon. In my Wow, Austria HunEary's
action ought to be considered as an
attempt to obtain a full guaranteed
that Servia's promises also be trans
lated into action. In this view I am
confirmed By the declaration of the
Austrian cabinet that Austria Hun
gary Is seeking no territorial conquest
at the expense of Servia. l therefore
think that lt is perfectly possible for
Russia to maintain the attitude OF a
spectator In face OF the Austro- Ser

into the most terrible war she has
ever experienced.

ing between your government and
Vienna Is possible and desirnble-an
understanding which, as l have nj
ready telegraphed you. my govern
ment Is trying to encourage with all
the means at Its disposal
Naturally, military measures on
the part of Russia which Austria
Hungary would regard as a menace
would precipltate the disaster which
we had the wish TO avoid, and would
also undermine my position as an in
termediary. which I. in reply to your
appeal to my friendship and assist

Final Letters.
The last two letters are thus given
by the Daily Chronicles:
From the car to kaiser;
81 thank thee from my heart for
thy mediation, which leaves CLEAN
of hope. 1t Is technically I'M
possible to discontinue our military
operations.
So long as the negotiations with
Austria regarding Servia continue,
my troops will not undertake any
provocative action. I give thee my
word upon it I trust with all my
strength in Gods grace, and I hope
for the success of thy mediation.
Thy most devoted Nicholas"
From kaiser to ezar:
my efforts to maintain the peace
of the world have reached their limit.
1t will not be I who am responsible
for the calamity which threatens the
whole civilized world Even at this
monent it lies in thy power to avert
it. Nobody threatens the honor and
power of Russia, which could well
have waited for the result of my
mediation. The friendship which
inherited from my grandfather on his
deathbed for thee and thy kingdom
has always been holy to me. l have
remained true to Russia. The peace
of Europe can still be maintained by
thee If Russia decides to cease her
military measures which threaten
Germany and Austria Hungary.
