Scranton, was nominated for Junior vice
commander.

position of commander-in-ch this morn
ing when It was announced that Lieu
tenant Governor Barratt O'Hara, o llli-
nois, would not withdraw as a candidate
Yesterday O'Hara, in the interests OF
harmony, suggested that the two Illinois
candidates get together and one droT
out in favor of the other. This gave rise
to the statement that O'Hara had dropped
out in favor of Captain White. O'Hara
now declares he will stay in the race tC

POET WITH A PUNCH
SAYS HE HAD ARMFUL
Denies He Fought With Trac-
ton Employe-He Just Beat
Him to a Pulp

Erwin Clarkson Garrett, a poet, son
of Mrs. George L. Garrett, of 431 West
Stamford street, Germantown, says the
wrong impression has been given the pub
lie about his arrest last Thursday at
Cape May after what was chronicled as a
fight between the poet and an employe OF
tho street car company.
In the first place it was no fight; it
was a severe punishment to the car COM
pany employe
In the second place, the men were not
separated. The poet was dragged from
the fray only after he had severely
thrashed his antagonist.
The trouble arose when a wire fell and
the street car man was put on guard to
warn pedestrians away from it. Garrett
arrived to find the guard some distance
away from the dangerous wire. He ex-
postulated. He demonstrated. Then he
started the chastisement.
1t was a fight only for a few minutes.
According to Poet CARROTS own state
ment to prove which~by witnesses he
Is willing to pay a mans carfare 10
Cape May. The stree car man was ter
ribly beaten. His face was cut His ribs
were hammered. He was lacerated
bruised and otherwise made extremely
uncomfortable. Mr.. Garrett sums up all
that happened to the other fellow in the
following:
HE was given a thorough thrashing.
The authorities, according to Mr.. Gar.
rett, dropped the case against him after
| he agreed to pay all the hospital ex
penses of the street car man.

The fire was in the home of Albert
Gelberg. The loss is about $1,000. Indi-
cations are that it was started by
burglars who forced an entrance by a
rear door to the drygoods store on the
first floor.
Geberg, his wife and their children,
David, 20 years old, and Sarah IS years
old, awoke to find the entire first floor
ablaze. They rushed to a front window
and their calls attracted McGucl1in.
The bluecoat obtained a ladder from
the home of DIR. Frederick ]. Voss. 2935
Richmond street, and placed 1t against
the window. BY this time the occupants
were almost overcome by smoke. and it
was necessary for McGuckn to assist
them down the ladder.
Mrs. Gelberg carried out a bag of
money, the receipts In the store yester-
day and dropped 1t in her excitement.
Later 1t was picked up in the yard.
