SPECIAL SUFFRAGE ELECTION
WILL NOT Be A HOLIDAY
Special to the EVENING NEWS,

bDeClGt 10 tRe II ENLNG NE VS.
Trenton, Sept. 29:-Governor
Fielder, in response to the inquiries
from many banking institutions, has
obtained an opinion from the attor
ney general holding that Tuesday,
October 10, the date of the special
election on the three constitutional
amendments, will not be a legal hol-
iday. The conclusion is based upon
the fact that the constitution and
statute law of today governing the
issue are the same as eighteen years
ago, when the same question was
raised and the late Attorney General
Samuel H. Grey gave an opinion TO
Governor John w. Griggs that the
day of the special election would not
be a holiday. That was in 1897,
when the special election took place
in September.
The present decision is also taken
to settle the question that the sa-
looms of the state will not have to
chose on the day of the special cleo
ton. The decision is to the effect
that October 10 will not be a gener-
al election day, and this is taken to
mean that the law for the closing of
the saloons on election day will not
apply to this special election, permit
ting the saloonkeepers to continue
business as they do on primary cleo
tion day.

of Infection from Blow.

AS a result of the death Of Edward

either directly or indirectly, of the
fracture.
Soon after the mans release it
was stated at the city hospital that

tion setting in where the victim S
jaw had been broken. When so in
formed Chief of Police Burke said
he was at loss to know what to do.
He said that DR.. Lund's statement
had been accepted and Falk had
consequently been released from
custody.

first reached the police on Monday,
O'Mara and Falk figured in a fight
on Sunday, September 5, in which
O'Mara sustained a fractured jaw
and several other injuries. He was
removed to the city hospital and
placed under the care of DR.. Lund
The mans condition became critical
yesterday and about O'Clock this
morning the police were requested
by the hospital officials to so notify
the young mans relatives. About
ten minutes later the police were in
formed that O'Mara had died. Falk's
arrest followed later in the morning
