asking that Governor Fielder be Pc
titioned TO remove Sheriff Houghton.
It met with much applause. but it
was thought advisable TO defer &C.
ton on it for a day or two, pending
developments.
A subscription list to aid the
families of the striking men was
started today A committee was ap-
pointed to take up the collection and
see that 1t was properly distributed.
Mayor Joseph A. Herman was par
ticularly incensed at the arrival OF the
deputies.
1T didn't think O'Brien would bring
them back" he said, speaking Of
Jeremiah O'Brien, of Newark, head OF
the agency through which the guards
were recruited and armed. As told
In yesterdays Evening Star. the dep
uties were arrested yesterday and
taken to New Brunswick, where they
were later released in $4,000 bail
each.
"I don't like It at ali, continued
Mayor Hermann. 81 am certain the
sight OF those men will tend to in
flame the strikers It's ike waving a
red flag in front of q bull ] am
going to see the other town officials
tonight and take steps 10 have them
removed"
"The company absolutely refuses 10
listen to any coneiliatory measures, =
| he said. THE officials say that when
they reduced the wages Of the men
from 81 to s1.60 a day the action was
final The hope of a settlement now
| looks further off than ever.
Mayor Hermann was greatly per-
| turbed over the reported arraignment
of him by Sheriff Edward F. Hough-
ton. Sherif Houghton was reported
| to have said that the blame for the
rioting and the death Of the man shot
! down by deputies rested on the bor-
| ough officials of Roosevelt and Mayor
| Hermann, who had agreed to see that
| there was no trouble on the streets
The State Board OF Health took a
| hand in the strike today. It sent two
representatives here to find out under
what conditions the 200 strike
breakers are living at the Lieoig
| plant. They are compelled to eat,
sleep and remain within the confines
of the factory.
| Prosecutors Detective Richard A.
| Peltier came here from New Bruns-
wick today, and will establish him
self here as the prosecutors repre-
sentative until the strike is over. Il
is believed his chief object in coming
| here is to establish the identity of
| the men responsible for the death of
the two victims and the injury to
others. He said that the prosecutor
| had sent men to Newark to look up
| the addresses given by the twenty
one deputies arrested yesterday.
Most of the men claimed residence in
| Newark.
There are always two sides to g
story" said Sheriff Houghton today.
Il am preparing a statement that viii
show where the blame for this rioting
| lies. The public has only heard one
side, the Roosevelt side. I am going
! to review the whole thing from the
very beginning and give my side"
Walter Y. Quinn, borough clerk
| thinks the officers and directors of
! the American Agricultural and Chem
| ical Company should be indicted for
murder, and he will ask the mayor
today to have Prosecutor W. Edwin
Florance take some action along that
line. He Hkens this case to the
| Rosenthal murder in New York, in
which gunmen were hired to dispose
| Of a victim.

cal Company was organized under

lature of Connecticut in January. 1898.
