Deaths Of a Day

sey for Twenty.seven Years

Trenton. May 15.-Henry G. Kelsey,
who served for twenty seven years as
secretary of state of New Jersey. died
last night in his home here. He was
eighty. three years old. Mr.. Kelsey had
been in failing health for several years,
and had been partially crippled by a
fall some time ago.
The death of Mr.. Kelsey removes one
cf the few remaining influential Dem
.ocratic state leaders of the period. Be-
tween 1873 and 1900. during most of
which New Jersey was in almost com
pete control Of the Democratic party,
Mr.. Kelsey was one Of the few men who
had much to do with shaping the politi- :
cal policy Of the state throughout that
period. Mr.. Kelsey was born at Sparta
y j., where he conducted newspaper
'cr years. He was appointed secretary
Of state in 1870. serving through sue
Cesslve terms until 1897. when the Re
puoicans came into control in 1895.
Mr. Kelsey was man of large means
and liberal contributor to many phil
anthropic enterprises. His contributions

MILNE ASSIGNED
TO NAVAL ACADEMY

Annapolis, Nd, July 7.-Another
important change in the staff OF
departmental officials of the United
States Naval Academy became ef-
fective today when Commander
Macgillivray Milne assumed charge
of the department of modern Ian
Cuages, relieving Commander An
thony James. The latter has re-
ceiyed orders to become executive
ocer of the battleship Utah of the
Atlantic Fleet.
The Utah, which is now at Hamp-
ton Roads, Va, is the flagship OF
Rear Admiral Edward w. Eberle,
formerly superintendent of the
Academy, who commands one OF
the divisions of the fleet.
Commander Milne was graduated
from the Academy in the class OF
1908. He is a native of West Vir-
ginia, but was appointed to the
navy from Ohio.

UNDER TRAIN,
Is ONLY SCRATCHED

Philadelphia. July. "A 2-year-
old baby, Robert Olt. narrowly es-
capped death when he was flung into
the path of a train which struck an
automobile driven by his mother at
the Union avenue crossing of the
P. r. r. at Pensauken. near Mer-
chantyille.
Mrs. Olt apparently did not hear
the warning bell. The locomotive
struck the motor car squarely and
tossed it into the air. Mrs. Olt and
another son. Frederick, 13, were
hurled into a ditch and the baby
dropped between the track directly
in front of the train.
When the train had passed over
hi mas he lay between the rails, he
was found to have escaped with
only a few scratches. Injuries to
Mrs. Olt and Frederick were slight.

sentatives of every State in the Tn
ion.
The filing OF this suit" said
Miss Alice Paul. chairman of the
National Womans party, at a time
when the thirty sixth suffrage State
is in sight, indicates the bitterness
of the opposition to suffrage and
the determination of it's opponents
to defeat the obvious will of States
which have signified their approval
of the enfranchisement of the
women of the nation.
I'VE are convinced, that as in the
Ohio referendum case, the validity
of the action OF the various State
legislatures will finally be upheld
by the courts. Anti-suffragists are
evidently grasping at straws in
their attempt through court pro-
ceedings .to' lengthen the suffrage
struggle and force the expenditure
of more money and time by suf-
fragists for the success of their
cause.
The grounds cited for the in
junction are matters already passed
upon by the attorney general and
the legislatures of the State con-
cerned, and in the case of Tennes-
see also by the acting Attorney
General of the United States. BY
filing certificates of ratification with
the Secretary of State these States
have completed. in the manner
prescribed by the Constitution. the
process Of ratification of the
Nineteenth amendment. and we be-
lieve the courts will uphold the
validity of their action"

Tageblatt Believes Cox S
Nomination Means End Of
4 Wilsonian Era. Z
(washington Herald-Public Ledger
Service. Special Wireless Dispatch.l

Cwashington Herald-Public Ledger
Service. Special Wireless Dfspatch.)
Berlin, July Z. Germany Is so
remote from American politics that
the results of the Democratic con-
vention, like the nomination of
Harding, attracted little attention
from the press or the public. par
ticularly since the United States
now plays so small part In the
peace settlement Of Europe and the
deliberations at Spa.
Such newspapers as comment on
the nomination of Gov. Cox give at
tention to his reported indifference
and lack of experience in foreign
problems in his previous career and
argue that this qualification or dis
qualification is probably regarded
as an asset by the delegates in the
selection of the two Presidential
candidates" German editorial writ
ers take 1t for granted that Ameri-
can voters have had their fill of
foreign problems and perplexities
and desire to disassociate them
selves in increasing measure from
European affairs.
The Tageblatt sees in the conven-
tion results the indication that the
Wilson era is definitely ended and
hat the peace treay and league Of
naions will play a small role in the
campaign which will be decided on
domestic issues. The Vossische Zei-
tung says both Republicans and
Democratic leaders are evidently
tired of the regime of strong per-
sonalities like Roosevelt and Will
son and desire accommodating can
didates under whom the supremacy
of the machine and a compromise
between divergent currents within
the party can be restored and main
tanned. The paper regards Cox's
nomination as a success for the
anti Wilsonites.
