If there is any way to pacfy Mexico short Of armed

BALM FROM MESA MAN
Mrs. Anna BurSelI Alleges That
Mons ElIingSOn Made Love to
Her and Promised to Marry
Her.

LOS ANGELES, Aug 21-Ardent-
Iove-making by millionaire, trips
to Los Angeles and alleged promises
to marry which were not fulfilled,
feature the complaint Of Mrs. Anna
Bursen handsome San Francisco so
cicty woman, who today through her
attorney, Earl Rogers, prepared a
suit against Mons Ellingson, Arizona
capitalist, for 100000 heart balm.
Mrs Bursell, "a divorcee and well
known IN social circles of San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles sets forth in
her complaint allegations of a love
romance that began in Arizona flour
isLed during trips to Los Angeles,
and then was wrecked when, as she
charges, her wealthy admirer, who al
ready had a wife, could not marry her.
At Rogers Office it was stated that
the complaint would be filed late to-
day and a copy of it with a sum
mons, delivered to Ellingson as soon
as he is found in a Los Angeles hotel
where he is reported to be stopping.
Mrs. Bursell is about 35 years old.
Ellingson, she said is about 55 years
old
Mrs. Bursell was formerly the wife
of John L. Bursell, of ST. Joseph mo-,
a prominent cattle man. On his death
she came to California and later mar
ried Mr.. Stevens, she said, in San
Francisco. In 1911 she obtained a
divorce i'm San Francisco, resumed the
name of Bursell and went to Tempe,
Arizona. where she met Ellingson.
The story told by Mrs. Bursell and
written into a complaint by Attorney
Milton Cohen, associate Of Earl Ro-
gers, follows.
Il met Mr.. Ellingson in Tempe,
I Arizona. in 1912. He is man OF
great wealth and he told me that he
was unmarried We became very
friendly and he professed his love for
me. This continued for several weeks
or months and he then told me that
/ he wanted to marry me.
Believing that he intended to do
so I consented TO accompany him to
Los Angeles. I continually asked him
to keep his promise and marry me
and he assured me that he would
We visited Cataline and other points
of interest

when he did not marry me l learned
from others that he was married and
had a family I'm Tempe.

New Closed Cars With Folding
Steps for Public Service

Ten new trolley cars are being built
by the Public Service Railway Com
pany at it's Plank road shops for the
winter service in Newark and the sub
urbs, and last night the first of the
cars was tried out over the various
lines
The new style car, which is of the
closed type, differs from the
present style of closed cars
in several respects. 1t is eight
feet longer and is equipped with
folding steps. These steps are oper-
ated by the same mechanism that
opens and closes platform doors and
they fold up like a jackknife when not
in use.
1t issprobable that one or more of
the new cars will be used soon on the
Orange line, Work on them is being
pushed In order to have them ready
for the opening of the winter season.

CIGAR MAKER
TRIES SUICIDE
Cuban Shoots Himself in Right
ShouIder-Left Note
to wife"

Carlos De Vletchtermon, a Cuban
cigar manufacturer on a small scale
In the basement of 1872 Academy
street, shot himself in the shoulder
shortly before II o'clock this morn
ing with suicidal intent. He aimed
at his heart, but his hand trembled
and the bullet lodged in the muscles
Of his shoulder.
He left a note to Mrs Carlos De
Vietchtermon, 172 Academy street" :"
which read: my dear wife, | have
come to say goodbye. May God bless
you" 1t was signed Carlos"
The note was written on the back
of one of his billheads in a trembling
hand and evidently while he was un-
der great excitement. Policemen
Crowley. MCGUIRE, Quinlas and
Weber, of the First precinct, were
quickly at the scene and dispatched
the man to the City Hospital In an
ambulance.
Then they made inquiry at the ad-
dress on the note left by the cigar
maker Mrs. Annie Holt, n negro
woman, was found at the address.
She said that she knew the man but
that he had no wife.
While the police were questioning
her the womans daughter came down
the street and paused for a moment
in front of the cigar factory to In
quire tho cause of the trouble. Some
one said Carlos shot himself. She
seemed to smile and went on to the
home of her mother
The police say the younger woman
told them she was the one referred to
by the cigar man as my dear wife, !"
but that she was not married to him.
Whats your manner" she was asked.
IT am Miss Lydia Holt" she replied.
From other sources the police were
informed that she is married to a
man living in South Orange, but was
on friendly terms with the cigar man
until recently. Both he and she for
merly lived at 10 Academy street.
She told the police: 1.-TWO weeks
ago that man tried to get mo into a
dark room, but / wouldn't do 1t. In
stead, l looked him over carefully
and found long, sharp knife stick
ing out Of one of his hip pockets. /
got 1t away from him, after a fight
in which he cut himself. Then he
said l stabbed him"

SAYS NEW STRIKE
IS BEING URGED
UNSCRUPULOUSLY
Astonishing Charges Made by
International Fur Workers.
Union President.
SAYS PLOTTERS MET IN
BACK ROOM OF A SALOON
Second Strike Decision Made
Without Notice to Union,
for Personal Gain.

Albert w. Miller, president of the
International Fur Workers Union,
told the Essex Trades Council last
night that persons not fur workers
are manipulating the affairs of the
local Fur workers Union in an at
tempt to start new strike in the
plant of A. Hollender & Sons, which
was unionized some months ago
after strike in which two were
murdered.
1.-The executive committee of the
local union met m the back room
of the saloon of Harry Kurtz at 1873
McWhorter street two weeks ago."
said President Miller, ''and without
notice to the union or the interna-
tional officers decided to call strike.
"a day or two later 1 was called on
the telephone by someone who said
he was Ralph and was in Asbury
Park. He told me a strike was to
be called in the Hollender factory,
and if I 'butted in l would not see
daylight very long after.
II learned from the central tele-
phone office that this was local
call, and I tell you that the man who
telephoned was one Of the committee
in charge of the last strike. and dur
ing that strike also was employed by
the Cosgrove Detective Agency.
1.-THE men in the Hollender factory
are being misled by persons who
want new strike for their own per-
sonal gain. These men were made
honorary members of the union in
recognition of assistance in winning
the last strike and never were fur
workers. Now they have grabbed all
the offices and are the unions dele
gates"
Delegate Harry Kurtz Censured.
Harry F. Hilfers, secretary of the
council, then made a vigorous report
along the same lines as President Mil
ler's talk in which he denounced
Harry Kurtz, the local unions dele
gate, and the saloonkeeper in whose
place the strike order was issued. At
the close of the secretary's speech
John j. Thorne, delegate from the
Journeymen Horseshoers' Union, de-
clared that Kurtz not only should
not be beard as a delegate, but should
not be admitted to the meetings of
the CO neil.
Kurtz, who was present, asked; DO
you want me to get out p Acting
RTeS1QenT C1dTIeS ". SuTllB TSpllCo.
You don't have to get out, but you
must keep quiet"
President Miller said in the course
of his speech that the members of the
local fur workers union were teach
ing the more ignorant of the laborers
employed in the Hollender alant to be
insolent to the foremen and higher
officials.
Some of these poor fellows have
got TO where they believe that the
boss has not got the right to walk
through his own factory, and that the
foreman has no right to speak to
them. I know of one specific instance
in which a poor fellow was told to
spit In the face of the foreman, and
he did so the next day"
The council Instructed its arbitra-
ton committee to confer with Inter-
national President Miller and MEM
bers of the firm next Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, and also to attend

WASHINGTON'S
HOPES RAISED BY
BERLIN REPORTS
Those Close to President Look
Confidently for Arabic
DisaVoWal.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Onioial-
doms eyes were on Berlin today.
Hopes of settlement of the Arabic
controversy were raised by the tenor
Of dispatches from the German capt.
tai Those close to the president
We're beginning to look confidently for
a German disavowal in the Arabic
case
Unofficial reports were construed
as promising early conclusion of these
negotiations.
Attention was commencing to
center on the British prize court
decision confiscating< American meat
cargoes and on the Anglo French
loan negotiations.
The White House was receiving
many letters denouncing the prize
court ruling, and demanding a sharp
American protest, but no such re-
quest had been received from the
American shippers. 1t was believed
the latter will appeal to Britain's
privy council
Although the American note con-
cerning British interference with
this country's commerce is almost
ready, it will not go forward, IT was
learned positively today, for another
fortnight. The president wants to
clear up the Arabic case first.
In the absence of u protest thus
far from Ambassador Bernstorff
against the proposed credit loan to
the allies, 1t was believed the ad-
ministration will not intervene. Sec
retary McAdoo will be consulted be-
fore the transaction is closed, and
the administration views probably
will be made known to the financiers
in private conference.
The state department has been ad-
vised that Austrian Ambassador
Dumba will soon leave the country.

MAYOR RAYMOND
IN ATTACK ON
TRIES-DENMAN
Charges Board of Works Re-
publicans Are in Combina-
ton With Democrats.
NOT FOR GOOD OF PEOPLE,
AND MUST CO. HE SAYS
Executive Also Gives Four
teenth Ward Republicans Ex-
planation of High Tax Rate.

Mayor Thomas L. Raymond last
night took a fling at the two members
of the Board of Works of his own
political faith, Arthur r. Denman and
William Tries, jr., for their stand on
the Jltney bus ordinance, the mayors
veto of which was overridden by two
or the Democratic members and
Messrs. Denman and Tries.
TITS time this combination of DEM
ocrats and Republicans in the Board
of Works was broken up. It's not for
the peoples good and it must go"
declared the mayor in the course of
his speech, which was delivered at a
rally in Blasts Hall, Bruce street and
Fourteenth avenue, under the auspices
of the United Republican clubs of
the Fourteenth ward.
The mayor also gave his explana-
ton how the tax rate had gone up
twenty points this year. Eugene Dot
to, lawyer and a Raymondite, gave
the mayor the Cue to talk taxes
after the executive had finished his
speech and failed to mention the sub
ject except in an incidental way.
You are blamed for the increase in
the tax rate" said Dotto, from the
center of the hall. "Will you explain
In little detail the reason for the
increase so that the blame may be
properly fixed? I understand how 1t
was, but l don't think all the others
do
The mayor then proceeded TO show
that the raise in the taxes was the
fault of the last Democratic admin
istration, an old story of his. This
years tax bills represent last years
expenditures" he said. TITS like pay-
ing August's grocery bill in Septem-
ber."
Besides Mayor Raymond, the speak
ers we're Judge Mancusi-Ungaro,
whose speech-in Itallan-was vocif-
erously received; Assembly Candi-
dates Henry H. Fryling and Pasquale
Scarano, Freeholder Candidate Will
lam ]. Wakefield, jr., and Board of
Works Candidates Anton Muller and
George Denny.
Denny Also Assails Works Board.
Mr.. Denny also assailed the Repub-
lican members Of the Board of Works.
See the sorry spectacle in the Board
of Works" he said. Two Repub-
override the Republican mayors veto
of an ordinance that we are all In
terested in, the jitney ordinance, an
ordinance that was not for the best
interests of Newark"
Mayor Raymond denounced bossism
and Alfred N. Dalrymple and said
that il the principles represented by
'Da1" were victorious at the primary
it meant the setting back of the Re-
publican party to the "old days." on
before the break came which over
threw the bosses. He eulogiZed Elihu
Root and said 1t was men such as
he that we're fighting bossism in the
national party.
The mayor said that Dalrxmple,
and not he, was the man who was
trying to wreck the Republican party
here. We're trying to strengthen
the party by making it the party Of
the people, where the people have a
say, not a one-man party, as Mr.
Dalrymple would have It,"
In making a plea for the Assembly
ticket of the "Anti-Dals," the mayor
