BACK WITH
REPUBLICANS

jersey City, Aug. 3.-George L. Rec
ords official leave-taking of the Pro-
gresslve party was made today, when
he returned from Maine and an
nounced that he would accept the de-
clslon of his friends that he run for
the assembly nomination at the Re-
publican primaries. He said:
In returning to the Republican par
", We have no intention of submitting
to the old reactionary Board of Guard
ians' leadership. There is no hope of
the Republican party as an instrument
for the public welfare under the lead
ership of these old standpat reaction
ary leaders. Last winter these lead
ers controlled the Republican major
ity in the Senate and House and COM
PEELED the party representatives to re-
pudiate the party pledge to establish
Assembly districts and generally
made the party an annex to the Pub
lie Service Corporation interests. In
New York the Republican Legislature
attempted to repeal the progressive
legislation which had reached the sta
tute books under the leadership of
Governor Hughes and his successors.
They tried to nullify the laws which
were intended to prevent the employ
ment of women and children in the
cannerles and other industries under
unsanitary conditions and for exces-
sively long hours of labor.
In the City of Newark, Mayor Ray
mond elected as regular, has been
twarted openly by the Republican ma
chine in his efforts to give that city
honest government, and has been
threatened with political oblivion be-
cause he has refused to become the
tool of the party boss who in turn is
the mere representative of the Public
Service Corporations.
This leadership we intend to fight
in the Republican part. We will fight
Lit by putting up candidates at the par
ty primaries each year who will be
committed to a definite set of princi-
pies. Every indication points to the
success of our movement.
Eve stand for the principle that ev-
cry piece of idle land is a possible job
for idle labor and for idle capital. We,
therefore, propose to force idle land
into use by taxation.
I'VE stand also for the right of local
municipal self-government, including
the right to take over and operate any
public utilities"

WILL BUILD
BRICK STRUCTURE

Richard R. Miller & Son having Sc
cured title to the property which they
now occupy, at the corner of South
Laurel and Jefferson streets, are con-
templating some considerable improve
ments.
Their western line does not go quite
to the wharf but it extends to the cas-
tern side of the fruit store on Jeffer-
son street.
They are contemplating the erection
next spring of handsome brick build
Ing of either two or three stories.
Besides their own poultry house,
there will be other stores in the build
ing.
The plans are not yet matured and
nothing will be done definitely until
after their heavy fall and winter poul-
try trade is over.
During that season of the year their
trade in dressed poultry runs into hun
dreds-even thousands of tons, and
building operations would be handi-
cap to their business until the season
is over.

PATRIOT" VILLA
To The U. S.

/ Following is the text of recent ad-
dress by General Francisco Villa to
foreign merchants at Chihuahua, whose
stores he confiscated, afterward put
ting to death six Mexican merchants:
l am going to take your business
for the benefit of the State. Your
employees will remain here and con-
duct the business under the direction
of my agents-you have been stealing
from the people for yourselves.
Tomorrow at noon train will be
ready to take you foreigners to the
border. We are poor here, and I will
not send bread or water on the train.
Meanwhile, you Americans and Ger
mans and Frenchmen, my telegraph
wires will be open to you, and you
can protest to your Governments.
If the American Government roes
not like my action, it can go to hell.
I have been fighting for 20 years, and
I am willing to fight as many years
more. &

Councils regular meeting was held
last night with President Evans in
the chair, with only five members pres
ent, Mr.. Esibill and Mr. Garwood be-
ing absent.
Immediately following the reading
of the minutes of the previous session.
reports of the Commissioners and the
City Comptroller were read and ord
cred filed.
The report of Mayor Whitaker
showed total receipts of $1S575 for
fines, costs and licenses for the month
of July.
]. NJ. Laning stated that owing to
the increase of wages voted by City
Council, expenses will increase one
third more than the appropriation of
$500. Unless more money can be
provided, the street sprinkler will have
to be taken from the streets.
There is also a demand for a new
cart for the street cleaning depart
ment. s.t,
1t was suggested that the appropria-
tion would be increased when the
present appropriation was exhausted.
Mr. J. M. Laning moved that the Com
missioner of Public Safety continue
the present force until the money was
gone. This motion was not seconded
and was withdrawn
Mr.. Hettinger said he had received
many complaints regarding adequate
culverts about the city, and he felt
that there were many culverts that
could be very greatly improved He
suggested, broad, low cement or con-
crete culyerts, and requested the City
Engineer to figure out some improved
plan for future culvert building.
Then came a free and easy discus
sion relative to the overf1owing of
storm water sewers. 1t developed that
the traps at street intersections were
not cleaned out. Mr.. Hettinger said
there was controversy between the
Commissioners as to who was respon-
sible for the cleaning of the traps.
Samuel M. Hall, who was in the room,
said that the trap at Washington and
Laurel streets was not cleaned for
months.
1t was stated that heretofore the
street commissioner had cleaned the
traps. Commissioner of Public Works
friedrich said that the Public Safety
Commissioner had cleaned out the
paved streets traps.
Mr.. Hettinger held that the cleaning
of storm sewers should come from the
sewer appropriation. Public Works
Commissioner Fredrick said that he
did not have appropriation, sufficient
to do the work. He stated it would
cost $4,000 to clean the traps.
Mr.. Hettinger moved to refer the
matter to the Corporation Counsel for
an opinion. E
Mr.. w. F. Laning asked if the traps
were to be left without cleaning until
the opinion was prepared.
J Corporation Counsel Stanger said
he felt prepared to give an opinion
at once. Under the City Charter the
Council could direct any one OF the
Commissioners to clean out the traps.
President Evans stated his view was
that the sand traps which were to
protect the roads should be cleaned
by the Commissioner of Highways and
the Public Works Commissioner should

streets.
Corporation Counsel again addressed
Council and read the ordinance defin-
Ing the duties of the Commissioner of
Streets and Highways, provided that
among other things the Street Com
missioner should keep all sand traps
and surface drains cleaned.
Mr.. Hettinger then moved that until
January first next, the Commissioner
of Public Safety clean the traps on the
paved streets, and the Commissioner
of Highways clean the traps on the
dirt streets. This motion was carried.
Commissioner of Public Safety VIM.
Murphy presented formal charges
against Herman Sundmacher, a mem
Der of the fire department, alleging
that Sundmacher had repeatedly and
without excuse absented himself from
numerous calls for fire duty.
Mr.. Fox moved that the charges be
received, and that Tuesday, August
18th, be fixed as the time for the hear
ing upon the charges.
There was some discussion relative
to the drainage of North Pearl Street,
of which complaint was made. No ac-
ton was taken.
On motion of w. T. Laning, the bill
of Ogden & Plat, for the concrete gut
ter and curbing upon the East Lake
dam was ordered paid, less the amount
of $169.7S, paid by the Martin Dyeing
& Finishing Works.,
Mr.. Hettinger said that the Board of
City Estimates had held meeting
and gone over appropriations for 1916
roughly. 1t was found that between
$4,000 and $4,000 more for schools
must be raised this year, and also
$500 to go for the deficits in previous
appropriations.
Council adjourned.

later than usual today because of his
desire to stay as long as possible with
his grandson, the child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, who was born
at the White House yesterday. If
the Sayre baby follows the precedent

by Mrs. Sayre herself.
A toy Princeton tiger for the Sayre

BY AssoCIATED PRESS

New York, Jan. 1S.-James M. Sui
livan, American minister to the Domi-
nican Republic, whose conduct is I'M
der investigation here before Senator
Elect Phelan, of California, was rep
resented today as having insisted on
sharing the profits Of q construction
company organized to obtain works
and contracts Of the Dominican gov
eminent.
w. Lee Sisson, construction en-
gineer, who said he had been asked
to become president of the construc-
tom company, testified that F. J. r.
Mitchell. president of the Banco Ma
cional, (the Dominican bank) had
said: We'll have to take the minister
so, as he can be of considerable ser
vice in the way OF throwing contracts
to u.s.
Sisson said he objected and that
Mitchell replied: We'll, the minister
insists on it." Sisson said he refused
and returned to New York.
The fact that Sisson was in Santo
Domingo in. behalf of the Banco Ma
cional became known to Secretary of
State Bryan, it was brought out. Acc
cording to a letter introduced as evil
dence Bryan repudiated the suggestion
OF Sullivan's that Sisson would be a
good man for the Dominican govern
ment to employ in its public works
contracts.

SLAUGHTER OF
GERMANS WAS

Dusky Riflemen of the
Moroccan Regiments Gov
cred Themselves With
Glory in Guarding Retreat
of French Centre.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

Scissors, (via Paris) Jan. 1S.-Men
Of the rear guard of the Moroccan
rifle regiments who covered the re-
treat Of the French center across the
river on January IA, acquitted them
selves with distinction. They had been
posted in the village Of Crouy.
At o'clock In the afternoon the
Germans in serried ranks debouched
in the road and advanced toward the
village. The rifiemen carefully con-
cealed their quick -firers and posted
themselves on each side Of the road
Not a sound was made and nothing
was allowed to show ABOVE the black
ened ruins. The Germans thought the
road clear and ran to the village to get
shelter from the French heavy artillery.
When they were whiting 500 yards
OF the place the rifiemen suddenly
opened fire, surprising the Germans
There was no room to deploy and they
fell in heaps. Those who could, re-
treated to the brook of Braye,
Reinforced, they reformed ranks and
attempted to turn the French position
from the east side of the village. Three
companies of riflemen were detached
and charged The shock was awful
Bayonets were twisted out of shape
then the dusky soldiers used the butts
of their rifles. For second time the
Germans gave way. The Moroccans
had been told to hold the place till 5
p. m. 1t was then O'Clock but they
still refused to retire. They did so
only after q staff officer was sent to
them twice with an order for retreat.
During the night the German artil-
lery rode ceasely in a bombardrnent of
scissors, but at dawn of the 18th the
artillery sIackened and gave place to
Infantry fire.
At o'clock a battalion of the line
was ordered to protect advanced
advanced trenches threatened by the
German attack. They charged and
broke the German ranks, driving them
as far as the Crouy railroad station and
taking 100 prisoners. Scarcely however
had they returned with the prisoners
when they were assailed by fresh Ger
man forces and for two hours st.
Paul was subjected to furious as
sault. The tide of battle ebbed and
flowed in the angle Of stable wall.
There the German dead were SO nu-
merous that some stood upright, lack
ing room to fall.
The good practice Of the French g.
inch guns guided by aeroplanes pre-
vented German reinforcements from
deoouching from the western slope of
the Vregny plateau and the Germans
exhausted and discouraged at their
lack of success retired at noon in a.
body to Crouy.
