Freezing Out the Cigarette.

Girls of Kansas town are said to
have absolutely stamped out cigarette
smoking among the boys of the place
by refusing to allow the boys who
smoke to call on them. 1t was a case
of cigarettes and no girls or no ciga-
retts and girls, and the boys wisely de-
cided to let the coffin-nail go its way.
1t simply shows the power of the girls
of the land. And the Kansas girl is no
stronger than the Texas variety when
it comes to accomplishing reforms and
exercising influence. Terrell Trans

Pine Bluff, Ark, was in Colfax
two or three days this week,
looking after details in the build
ing of the new brick high school

ing are now about "a feet high,
and the stills and floor joists for
the first and second floors have
been put in, together with stud
ding for the rooms and halls of
the first floor. The building in
appearance will be quite hand

foot basement is built entirely
above the ground, and the first

top of that gives the structure
the appearance of a three-story
building.

PEPS UNABLE TO
MEET TERRAP|NS
|NDOUBLE-HEADER
Watersoaked Grounds Prevents
Cames-Chief Bender Re-
leased by Baltimore.

After inspecting the grounds at the
Federal League Park, in Harrison,
today 1t was found that no game
could be played, and the double
header had to be postponed. Before
noon II was announced that an effort
would be made to get in one of tho
games at $3.50 o'clock, and the patrons
who called up were notified to that
effect.
At las o'clock, however, it was
found that the grounds were in such
water-soaked condition that even
one contest with Baltimore would not
be possible. Many feminine fans who
intended to take advantage of the
specially appointed ladies day were
disappointed.
The two games postponed today will
be played off In double -headers-one
of the bargain bills being scheduled
for next Sunday and the other on
October g.
Manager Otto Knabe, whose Balti-
more team is stopping in New York,
announced that he had unconditional
ly released Chief Bender. The news
caused a sensation. 1t was known
that the Chief was slipping, but 1t
was not expected that he would be
turned adrift. Manager Knabe is
planning to clean house for next year,
and is busy trying to sign up new
men. The release of Bender marks
the passing of one of the greatest ball
players of all time. His star began to
set when he failed to perform as usual
in the worlds series last fall, when
the Athletics lost their title to the
Boston Braves.

NOT
IN ACCORD ON
STRIKE ORDER
Many Believe Demands Should
Have Been Made in
June.
SAY TRADE is BRISK, BUT
OUTSIDE SEASON NEAR END
Should Walk-Out Be Necessary
1t Will Be First carpen-
ters'. Strike Since 1907.

That many of the local carpenters
are not in favor of the strike which
has been called for Wednesday
morning, unless the demand made
upon the local contractors for min
imum wage scale of $3.50 per day is
granted before that time, was learned
at the headquarters of the Newark
Council of Carpenters, Stemmler's s
Hall, As William street, today.
George Adlon and Thomas Mooney,
business agents of the Newark Dis
trict Council of Carpenters, are visit
ing the various contractors in the
Newark district today presenting the
demands of the union with the hope
that most of the larger contractors
will agree to the union demands and
that a general strike will be thereby
averted.
The headquarters was crowded with
men who had been forced to knock off
work on account of the inclement
weather and the principal topic of
conversation was the threatened
strike.
"The strike should have been called
in June, as was first intended" said
SQne carpenter, who seemed to be a
leader of one of the groups that was
discussing the strike and local trade
conditions.
There is no doubt that we could
have secured the increase at that
time without n ch trouble" he con-
| tinued. land while / have no doubt
| that some OF the firms will grant our
demands before they allow their men
to be called out now, there are other
firms who are not going to give in as
| easily as the officials of the union
think
THE building trade is very brisk
! just at the present time, but the sea-
son is drawing to a close, especially
/ for outdoor work, and, while there is
a demand for carpenters just now, in
! a short time there will be a lot of
men out of work.
The information was also CLEANED
| from several of the men that there
are some contractors in the Newark
| district that are paying the men
working for them $3.50 day, which
is the scale that the men are going
on strike for.
The Jersey City district is the only
section of the State in which the
carpenters are securing $3.50 per
day, and they secured the increase
when demands were made early in
the spring, and ordered strike In
several shops that refused to pay the
scale. The strike only lasted about
week and about fifty men were in
volved.
If a strike is called In this district
it will be the first walkout of the car
penters since 1907, when they struck
for an increase of 90 cents day, and
which was granted after a period of
three weeks.
The carpenters will meet at sc
South Orange avenue tomorrow night
at o'clock, when orders, it is ex-
pected, will be issued for the strike
on Wednesday morning. The strike,
if called, will affect large majority
of the 2,2O0 carpenters who are men,
bers of the fourteen locals in the
Newark council, and which embraces
Newark, Harrison, Kearny, Mont
clair and the Oranges.

WOMAN DYING IN
HOSPITAL WARD
FROM LOCKJAW
Physicians Attribute 1t to Slight
Cut on Thumb of Right
Hand.

Supposed to have been inoculated
foreign substances entering the blood
by way of slight cut on the thumb
of her right hand, Mrs. Frances Ju-
maska, thirty years old, Is in the
City Hospital apparently dying of
lockjaw.
The physicians believe the tetanus
has developed solely from the tiny
cut on the hand. Mrs. Jumaska's
jaws are rapidly closing, and it is
feared in a short time all of their
mobility will have departed.
The woman, who works in brush
factory in Rose street, has been i'll
for the past three weeks. She board
ed with Joseph Zakariska, at IA Bel
mont avenue.
About three days ago she was
forced to take to her bed. as the
muscles of her neck started to tight
en-, causing her extreme pain Rev.
Francis Rolinshi, of st. Stanislaus
Church, was notified of the case, and
on Saturday called Dr. William F..
Wismar, of 10S Belmont avenue, to
treat the patient. DR.. Wismar found
the case apparently one of lockjaw,
but could not ascertain the cause.
After treating the woman he ad-
vised her to go to the City Hospital,
but she refused. After Father Ro-
linski and Dr. Wismar had both used
their influence with the woman she
consented to go to the City Hospi-
tai, and was taken to that institu-
tion yesterday. 1t is said that there
is little hope for her recovery.
Mrs. Jumaska is thirty years old.
She came to this country three years
ago, and has boarded with the Zaka-
riska family for the past year. Her
husband is in Galicia.

W|LSON-HOUSE
BREAK DENIED
BY TUMULTY
Calls Story That Willard Has
SuppIanted Colonel as Ad-
wiser Rot"

WASHINGTON, Aug 30.-"The re-
port of a break between President
Wilson and Colonel House Is simply
rot" said statement issued by the
White House this afternoon.
II now personally know that the re-
lations between them are as close as
ever" declared Joseph P. Tumulty,
the presidents secretary.
Secretary Tumulty had previously
issued a verbal denial of the story
that Oswald Garrison Willard, editor
of the New York Evening Post, had
supplanted Colonel r. M. House as
President Wilson's chief confidential
advisor, but 1t was understood the
presidents deep annoyance at the
story prompted a more formal state
ment.
No attempt. however, was made to
deny the statement that Mr.. Willard
has become q potent factor in presi-
Dental counsels.
The general belief was that while
the editor had gained great measure
of the chief executives confidence, he
had done so without superseding
Colonel House or anyone else.
fniard Ehiis TO Appear.
Some attention was attracted. how
ever, by the fact that, following tile
publication of the story of break
between Colonel House and the presi-
dent and of the establishment of close
relations between the president and
Mr.. Willard, the latter failed to APP
pear at the White House this morn
ing in accordance with his usual GUS
tom to report happenings there per-
sonally for his newspaper.
Evidently considering he had gone
far enough in denying "break," Sec
retary Tumulty did not refer to the
published statement that the colonel
and president had differed because
the former wanted General Carranza
recognized in Mexico and the latter
wanted him refused.
The story that Mr.. Willard inspired
Secretary Of War Garrison's rebuke
to General Wood for permitting ex-
President Roosevelt's recent speech
at the Plattsburg, N. Y, encamp-
ment, was denied, however, by the
secretary's friends. They said it was
mere coincidence that the Garri-
son telegram to Wood was dispatched
only a few hours after Willard visit
ing the war department as news
paper correspondent, expressed by
his questions to the secretary, his
disapproval of Woods invitation to
Roosevelt to visit Plattsburg.
Willard Influence Exaggerated.
The consensus of opinion among
politicians was that it was true there
had been no disagreement between
Colonel House and the president, and
that while Willard had gained a con-
siderable measure of the executives
confidence the extent of his influence
had been exaggerated.
In connection with the story that
Colonel House was pro and the presi.
dent anti-Carranza 1t was recalled
that Colonel House was credited with
having selected Duval West as spe-
cia Investigator of conditions in
lcontlnued on Page 2, Column "

Identification Tags
Are Worn on Liner

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-Passengers
arriving here today aboard the
steamer Espagne from Bordeaux
wore Identification tags, issued to
them before leaving, so that they
might be identified in case German
submarines should send their ship to
the bottom while they were passing
through the war zone. 1t was the
first time that such tags had been
worn by passengers aboard a liner
reaching here from Europe since the
war began.
To escape submarines the Espagne
sailed at Q o'clock in the morning of
August q, shortly after the sinking
of the Arabic had become known.
