URGE WOMEN
AID !. NJ. {. A.
Auxiliary Women in Confer
enCe Here Get New Ideas
to Garry on Work in State

william ii. DeWarr, general secrc-
tary of the Y. NJ. c. A. in Summit,
as the main speaker of the afternoon
session of the twenty-sixth annual
conference of Y. NJ. G. A. Auxiliaries
held yesterday in the local Y. M. c.
A. made a most earnest appeal to
the women, gathered there from all
parts of the state for new ideas and
inspiration in their work.
The afternoon session which began
at o'clock opened with a short song
service lead by the song leader, and
this was followed with a delightful
musical program which included a
vocal solo by Mrs. Joseph Brimlow.
a duet by Mrs. Irwin S. Yarnall and
Mrs. Joseph Brimlow and violin
solo by Mrs. Lester White, all accom-
panied by Mrs. William Hesser at the
piano. All of these entertained in
their usual charming manner and the
local auxiliary were proud to be able
to display so much excellent talent
from this city before the other aux
iliaries.
William A. MacCormick, state
high school secretary, was also very
interesting yesterday afternoon
when he spoke on 1920 at New
Wawayanda." He told of the won
derful influence that the boys who
were able to go to this Y. NJ. G. A.
camp received. He cited some of
the experiences, some of their joys
and some of their troubles and he
urged every mother present to send
her boy there if possible some sum-
mer or help send some other boy
who needed the life that this camp
affords
Mr.. DeWarr then began his stir
ring address of the afternoon on
THE Association and New De-
mands," in which he spoke of the
numerous other organizations and
and the great fields in politics which
are attracting the women away
from tn splendid work which they
might accomplish through the Y.
Nj. c. A. He asked the women to
take up politics but to take them
up as a secondary issue and not let
it interfere with this great work in
which they are so much needed. He
concluded his talk by naming the
many new demands which they are
| trying to meet each day and by
asking the women to remember that
after all the greatest pleasure in
life is derived from service.
A few quiet moments of prayer
lead by Mrs. James A. Webb, Jr.. OF
Madison, completed the program OF
a most enthusiastic and inspiring
| conference, and the women depart
ed with new ideas and broader aims
| for their work in the coming year.
| Special thanks is due all of the
women who helped to make this con-
| ference such a splendid success and
| the women who helped were as fol +
lows: Mrs. w. w. Oliver. chairman
of reception assisted by Mrs. Charles

ness Man; Case Adjourned

BY stan Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 6:-In
the renewal of the hearing on the
will of Joseph Kramer, of Perth
Amboy. before Judge Peter L. DAILY
in the Orphans Court here yester-
day afternoon, testimony was given
by Samuel Fein, of Henry street,
New York City, to the effect that
he had lived in the same town with
Kramer in Russia and that he had
had one sister in an insane asylum
while other relatives of his had
brain disorders. The witness said
there was a strain of lunacy
throughout the Kramer family
which had reputation in the Rus
sian town of continually being in
and making trouble. Practically
every member of the family had
some mental weakness, Fein testi-
fed.
Joseph H. Boyd, of upper Mont
clair. was the other witness heard
yesterday afternoon. He said he
had known Kramer for twenty
seven years. during which time he
had sold goods to him. He spoke
of Kramer as having been a keen
business man. Up until the time of
the war, the witness said. he took
a great interest in business but af-
ter his son was killed in France. he
acted like a different man and neg
lected his store.
Boyd said that from the time
Kramer's son Joseph had been taken
into the army. the father had SEEM
ed mentally unbalanced. When he
heard his son had been killed, the
witness said, Kramer refused to be-
iieve the report until he saw his
boys body. He said it was his belief
the son had escaped to the German
lines, the testimony continued. The
witness said he believed Kramer
was obsessed with the idea that ev-
cry member of his family was trying
to harm him. Boyd said Kramer
had showed him his will and after
reading it over, according to the tes-
timony, Boyd told Kramer to go to
another lawyer and have it chang
ed. Kramer frothed at the mouth
and called me a fool" the witness
said. Kramer insisted that the fam
lily had made it so hard for him
that he was going to make it is
hard for them as possible after his
death. he had told Boyd, the witness
testified.
Judge DAILY pointed out that only
the facts which were actually known
by the witnesses would be consid-
cred by him and he would give no
credencc to what was their beliefs
concerning kramers sanity. DR..
Henry A. Cotton, medical director
of the New Jersey State Hospital at
Trenton, was present during the
trial. He will be asked to give his
version Of the deceased mans san
ity later in the hearing, it is believed.

tricts remained undetermined to-
day, as the fifth day of tabulating
the Republican party's tremendous

nessee, which had been placed earl
ier in the Democratic column.

the Democratic total to 1856, while
the best possible results for the
Democrats would gve them n total
of 141 to 290 for the Republicans

The position taken by the Presi-
