.S|CKLEY TO GET
FEDERAL PLUM
At SPR|NGF| |ELD
Selected for Postmastership,
According to Letter from ex-
Congressman TuttIe.

Albert Siclxley is to land the post
mastership at Springfield. according
to the announcement made today by
the latter's cousin, James Stickley,
who is a member of the Union county
Democratic Committee. The latter
says he received a letter frcm former
Congressman William A. Tuttle TO
that effect.
The fight for the postmastership
has been on for more than year
Albert Sickley was the first IN the
field with a petition for tae position.
He sought the aid of his friends ana
used every influence he could bring
to bear upon the authorities at Wash
ington.
II was some months later that
George Parsell, a Democrat. entered
the race His friends rallied TO his
support in such numbers that his Sc
lection was predicted on all sides.
County Committeeman James Stckley
supported Parsell against his cousin,
because. he said, Parsell had always
been "a regular Democrat Several
weeks ago Albert Sickley got out a
circular letter and had ii signed by
many citizens, Republicans as well
as Democrats. IT is supposed that
this had the desired effect.
David jenkins, Democratic leader,
of Springfield who worked in sup
port of Parsell, received a letter last
night from former Congressman Tut
tie that Sicxley would get the posi-
tion partly from sympathy, as it was
known he had been i'll a long time
Several weeks ago Mr.. Jenkins re-
ceived a letter from brother OF
former Congressman Tuttle, who said
it looked certain for Parsell.
The term of the present postmaster,
Frank Meisel, Republican, will ex-
pire on June g. Sickley, who appears
to be the successful candidate, is a
conductor on the Morris County Trac-
tion Company line. Parseil is a car

WILSON TO INSIST
ON RELIEF WORK
AMONG MEX|CANS
fractional Leaders Will Be
Warned Not to interfere or
Suffer Intervention.

WASHINGTON. May 2s. = The
United States intends 10 protect
Mexicos innocent on-combatants.
The military factions must change
methods at once. Their interference
with relief measures will no longer
be tolerated.
This new position was assumed by
the Washington administration today.
The fighters confiscation for their
own use of food products bought by
the International Relief Committee to
aid the starving has forced President
Wilson's hand With the Red Cross
prepared to undertake relief work on
scale that for extent, will rival the
relief work in Belgium and Poland,
the United States is ready TO see that
this relief goes to those who need 1t.
The announcement of the new
position will come next week from
President Wilson himself. 1t is en-
phasized that the president is not
considering armed Intervention vet,
but, if such measures should become
necessary, those who know his mind
best declare he will not hesitate TO
reverse himself on this point.
His present plan, so far as can be
learned, is to issue early next week n
review or cond1tlOnS. lie VIII ten tne
country just what he has learned
from his special investigators. He
will declare the present differences
between the rival Mexican leaders due
entirely to headstrong jealousy He
will make public warning to them
that has just gone forward declaring
the United States can no longer wait
for them to compose their differences
while thousands of women and chill
dren starve.
In effect the president will demand
that the factions get together and
bury their differences. There will be
no threats. 1t will be a request, but,
if II goes unheeded, the president will
consider what is the next best step.

Slayer of Reeve and Clark
Women Rejoices Over Sec
ond Degree Verdict.

Hiram b. Craig, slayer of two wom-
en-, was found guilty of murder in the
second degree by jury in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer late yesterday
afternoon. He was charged with the
murder of Mrs. Mamie Clark in her
home, 352 South Orange avenue. A
similar verdict was found against
Craig last month for killing his
sweetheart, Hetty Reeve.
The trial lasted five days, but it
took the jury exactly two hours and
fifteen minutes to agree, On the first
ballot six of the jurors voted for a
verdict of murder in the first degree.
-Four voted for second degree and two
wanted a manslaughter verdict. The
second ballot brought change and
made the vote six for first degree and
issix for second. The talesmen who
favored the death penalty were finally
brought around to the verdict which
was returned.
