Expert accountants are going over

RUMSON, N. j., June 8.-Citizens of

George A. H. Churchill is at the head
of this movement of Rumson citizens.
Mr. Churchill app cared before tho

concerning Hearst papers as will be

with view Of keeping Hearst papers

Randolph Hearst have been doing.
"The pamphlets will tell that Hearst
newspapers have apparently been striv-
ing to undermine the morale of the
American people. The pamphlets will
expose Hearst attempts to incite hatred
toward England, our strongest ally.
The pamphlets will not forget the fact
that Hearst's New York American

Eclipse Of Sun Distinctly
Visible to Thousands Here
Clearly Seen Through Smoked Glasses at Start and With
Naked Eye in Final Sage-Scientsts in West
Report Successful Observations

The eclipse Of the sun was visible in
New York City yesterday afternoon to
those persons possessed Of heavily
smoked glasses. Otherwise, it was ap-
parent only in slight dullness which
affected the radiance Of June's rarest
day, two hours earlier than twilight
ordinarily would have fallen.
Sixty-eight per cent Of the suns sur
face was in shadow, but to the naked
eye it burned with forbidding bright
ness, and the change in the quality of
the sunshine was not apparent to most
persons. New York went about its
business of enjoying the most splendid
Saturday afternoon this season, with
scarcely thought for the greatest as
Economical event of this generation.
Smoked Glass Required
Those who went to the housetops
armed with bits of smoked glass, how
ever, were able to trace the course of
the black shadow which travelled
across the orange -colored face of the
sun. The eclipse began at 6:32 p. M,
and few minutes later tiny break
was visible in the circumference Of the
sphere, in the lower right hand por-
ton. This black area grew until
the jocose described it as a big bite
taken by somo astral small boy out of
a big yellow cooky.
At the moment Of greatest shadow,
at 1928 o'clock, the entire lower half
Of the cooky had vanished. and the
upper Eeft-hand portion was being
eaten awav, too.
While the sun was still high, the
eclipse was not visible to the naked
eye. By 1880 o'clock the shadow was
largest, and 1t was possible to detect
the eclipse in hasty, binding look.
Then no shadow appeared, but, rather,
a round portion was cut from the
lower part of the sun.
No Observations Here
Inasmuch as the eclipse was not
total for this part of the country, no
observations were made, either at Co.
lumba University or at the Museum of
Natural History.
From the Pacific Coast, the shadow
rushed across the map in a narrow,
black line, through the Middle States,
and ran off into the Atlantic Ocean at
Orlando, Fla. The period of totality

scientific parties, inasmuch as this city
boasts well-equipped observatory

in small groups of interested observ
ers, who attracted much attention on
Riverside Drive, the Battery and other
spots commanding view of the west

crowd peering at the sun as it sank
alongside the Woolworth tower. 1t

shows of Park Row. He stamped out

axi Drivers Arrested
AS Pilots for Vice


In its efforts to make the city a
safer place for soldiers the Law En-
forcement Bureau of the War Depart
ment has arrested nine taxicab chauf-
teurs as vice pilots in the last few
days. They are charged with procur-
ing women for soldiers, an offence
punishable by six months imprison-
ment and a fine of $780,
One of the drivers was acquitted,
one pleaded guilty and most of the
others are awaiting trial. In case of
conviction Captain T. N. Pfeiffer, head
OF the Law Enforcement Bureau, will
seek to have their licenses revoked.
Soldiers and sailors cooperating un-
der the instructions of Captain Pfeif-
fer obtained the evidence on which the
arrests were made. Within less than
a month the military crusade against
vice in New York has resulted in the
capture of more than 800 prisoners,
who are charged with bootlegging and
more serious offences.

Attack on Wilson
Upheld by Hearst
Man Accused of Treason
Supported by american"
in 1916 Controversy

jeremiah A. OLeary, fugitive from
justice on indictments for treason and
other violations of the espionage act,
was supported by William Randolph
Hearst in the columns of "The New
York American" during the fall of
1916
OLeary, as president of the Ameri-
can Truth Society, an organization
propagated by Irishmen and Germans,
sent telegram to President Wilson
on September 20, 1916, in which he
charged the President with a dicta-
torship over Congress in the interests
of the British government. He cited
the victory of Senator MARITIME in New
Jersey and the heavy vote polled by
the Republicans in the New York
primaries as significant of the attitude
of the entire country and asked:
"Well, cir, will you respond to pop
ular disapproval of your policies by
action ?"

called forth editorial criticism from

Espoused OLeary's Cause
On the day following the publication
of this telegram, Sunday, October /,
"The New York American" printed a
three-column box on the front page

"The American" warmly espoused
O'Leary's attitude and advanced a
strong antiBritish propaganda Of its
own.
"Now, if these kilograms mean any

Under heading. "Wilson Slur De

with William Randolph Hearst was

Call on Rintelen

Judge John C. Knox, Of the United

United States Attorney Matthews went
to the Tombs yesterday to see Captain
Franz Rintelen, the imperial favorite
whom the Kaiser wants exchanged un-

with the convicted plotter for thirty
minutes.
Rumors that Rintelen was giving in
formation or that the interview had
anything to do with the diplomatic cor
respondence concerning the prisoner
were denied by Judge Knox.
Rintelen's position in the Tombs is
precisely that of any other prisoner
except that no visitors are permitted to
see him without the consent of Mr.
Matthews. Recently he has been eat

Northwest fifty miles wide to-day when
the solar eclipse came to pass. The
phenomenon found noted scientists
ready for it here. Telescopes were
trained to study and photograph the
suns corona. The observations were
declared to be successful, a slight
cloudiness being the only drawback.
When the eclipse became total, birds
sought their nests and chickens went
to roost. A gloom as deep as night
were turned on indoors, while street
cars and automobiles had their head
lights burning.
DENVER, June 8. - Astronomers
from Yerkes observatory of the Uni
versity of Chicago, and other observa
tories, who gathered here to-day to
ymake observations of the total eclipse
'of the sun, found their elaborate
preparation had gone for naught.
Heavy clouds covered the sky.
The scientists gathered in the OBJ
servatory yard to observe the color
effect on the clouds of the approach
ing darkness. When the eclipse was
total it was so dark that automobile
headlights were lighted. Dean Her
bert A. Howe, of Denver University,
said the observations possible to-day
were of little Importance.
