SHEEHY FOR MAYOR,
TALK TODAY; FRIENDS
URGE HIM TO run
Head of School Board Does
Not Deny He Will Seek
Mayorship

John X. Sheehy for mayor on the
Democratic ticket.
This is the rumor that has been
going the rounds in political circles
for some days past. Mr.. Sheehy
when questioned about the report
said that he had heard Etne reports
and added that he had been urged
by his friends to run. He also inti-
mated that he was consi iiering en-
tering the race.
Politics in the Democratic pot
have become so hot that they
threaten to boil over at any time.
and when this takes place 1t Is ike
iy that some definite mention will be
made concerning the candidate Tor
mayor and also for the aldermen.
who will run in the primaries next
September. Up to the present time
the names of three leading Demo-
Gratis have been mentioned In the
race for the executive head OF the
sity. They are:
Former Mayor Frank Dorsey. MT.
Dorsey has been slated by his
friends for a comeback in the next
election, many holding that II he
will allow his name to appear on
the ballot as a candidate for mayor
he will be elected. AS for Mr.. Dor
sew. himself, he refuses to baNe any
thing to say and is seemingly satis-
fIed to stand by his guns and watch
the pot boil. =,
Ever since the election last faii.
there has been a feeling among GER
tain leading Democrats that the
candidate of the hour would be Dr.
John ". Smith. 1t is held that Dr-
Smith would make an ideal candl-
date and by his past work for the
party has won its support. How
ever, but little has been heard from
the Smith supporters recently and
this is held to mean that his can
didacy is not growing to any grea'
extent.
The candidacy of Mr.. Sheehy at
the present. time seems to be the
center of interest and his name Is
mentioned freely in relation to the
office of mayor For a NUMBER OF
years Mr.. Sheehy has been presldent
Of the Board of Education and mas
handled this important city WORK
with a great deal of consideration
should Mr.. Sheehy become a canm.
date for mayor it is conceded tnai
he would receive the entire support
of County Clerk Bernard nj. Gan
ron. and this fact alone would mean
that he would have the UNDIVIDED
support of Gannon's friends in thn
city.

SEE HERBERT IN
CONGRESS- RACE:
Nothing Official Given Out
But Old Wound Has Not
Healed
MAY OPPOSE APPLEBY
AppIeby's Position, as Far as
MiddIesex G. O. P. is Con-
cerned, is in Doubt
MAY OPPOSE APPLEBy

NEW BRUNSWICK, April 21.-
An old sore in the sides OF certain
faction of the Republican party of
Middlesex county gives every indi-
cation of being opened in the very
near future by the announcement oil
a candidate to oppose Congressman
T. Frank Appleby for the nomina-
ton to congress at the coming pri-
maries.
The G. o. p. organization has let
it be known that Mr.. Appleby will
without doubt be the party's choice,
but this is thought to be a mere
shall until such time as they are
ready to place their candidate in the
field when an active and intensive
campaign will be waged with wet
candidate.
With the defeat of John W. Her.
bert in the last congressional cam
paign, a considerable amount oil
feeling was created around the
county. which has since died down
but it is predicted that the spark
is about to break out into a flame
by the waging of hot fight on the
part of the defeated faction.
While the party leaders all say
that politics are dead and that tht
campaign will not get under way
for several months, there seems tt
be no doubt but that active work i
getting underway. though in yer.
tquiet manner.
1t would not come as great sur
prise to see Mr.. Herbert again ente
| the race as his friends feel that h.
was unfortunate in the three-cor
nered fight two years ago. At tina
time they asserted he would receive
the nomination had Joseph Thomp
son remained out OF the contest and
with that idea in view and still con
ltending that wet candidate nigh
put through a modification of th'
national prohibition act, he ma,
again be induced to run.
| County Solicitor Frederick F
Richardson is looked on by many a
fhe logical candidate from this dis
/ trict and though he has refused Il
comment on the subject many of hi
friends have been open in thei
views that he should enter the race

DORIAN TELLS
Of EXPERIENCE
Life Probably Saved by Quick
Action of Local Man at
Ceramics Plant

Excise Commissioner Charles Dor
rian. 401 Gordon street. one OF those
to escape serious injury when an
arch in a new kiln being erected at
the plant of the General Ceramics
Company at Metuchen collapsed
Yesterday afternoon, told the fol-
lowing story to an Evening News re-
ported today. Mr.. Dorian was al
work in the kiln when the arcn
fell and as yet can give no explana-
ton as TO why he escaped serious
injury.
According to Mr.. Dorian, the
men were working on scanold
built up under the arch about ten
feet from the floor of the kiln. The
men were pointing up the work. ana
in order TO do this, were sitting on
the scaffold a number on each side
back to back. They were in such a
position that any one of the men
could touch each other by extend
ing their hands.
Without any warning what ever,
the arch gave way and came crash
ing down on their heads. Mr.. Dor
rian saw a huge piece OF the heavy
brick and mortar give way and plac-
ing his hands on top of his mead,
leaned over to one side. He is OF
the opinion that this piece OF mason
work struck him a glancing blow.
The weight of the falling arch
broke the scaffold and men and
bricks plunged to the bottom of the
pit. or floor of the kiln. All of the
men who were seriously injured or
have died were buried under the
fallen mass, not even a leg or arm
being visible, according to Mr.. Dor
,afs
heard coming from under the mass
of debria
Mr.. Dorian was pinned down bs
the mass and was rescued by Charles
Peterson, of Second street, who al
though working on the scaffold al
the time was uninjured and aided In
rescuing the other men. THE bot
tom seemed TO fall out of the sky,
said Mr.. Dorian in speaking OF his
feelings when the arch gave way
When questioned concerning the
cause of the accident he said that II
was not due to poor workmanship
as the workmanship. was perfect.
Mr.. Dorian estimated that four
tons of brick and mortar. had fall
en- when the arch collapsed. The
arch was. constructed of special
wedge shaped brick. which were
about sx9x2 Il Ks inches.
Mr.. Dorian said that while he
was at the hospital having his
wounds examined, a laborer en-
ployed on the job, who he thought
was John JJogan of Fords, told him
that he was on,top of the arch when
l it gave way, and plunged to the bot
tom Of the kiln with the brick and
mortar. He was not seriously in

COCKROACH A RADIO FAN,
ARMY OFFICER CLAIMS

HARRISBURG, April 21:-The
cockroach is a radio fan" and COM
municates by wireless with his
brothers and sisters. Howard Zim-
norman, sergeant major of the
Fifty-fifth Infantry Brigade. Head
quarters Company, believes and
seeks to prove by experiment. the
results of which were made public
here today.
The exp eriments. he said, had been
under way for a year and are the re-
suit of investigations begun in a bug
infested barracks in Luxemberg.
"At that time we were having
night school and were working on
the shortest possible wave length.
getting as low as one-fourth OF
meter."r he explained Radio sets
were located three feet apart on
glass top table.
zone night everything was work
Ing perfectly when suddenly our
tubes began to act queerly. BY the
fiickering light of candle we nnally
located Mr.. Cockroach' sitting In the
space between the receiving and
submitting apparatus We removed
him and to our surprise the appar-
atus became normal. This led us TO
believe he was capable OF making
electric power"
The sergeant declared. one insect
radios to another and this belief is
supported by his experiment.
II have found in my experimental
work that a cockroach has a wave
length of between one-half inch and
one inch with very low frequency"

DEFER ACTION
ON AMB0Y AVE.
FreehoIders Will Wait for Lo-
cal Aldermen to Pass An
other Resolution

NEW BRUNSWICK, April 21.-
Owing to an error. in the drawing
of the resolution blythe Perth Amboy
aldermen requesting the county 10
turn Amboy avenue over to the city
that the improvement of that street
might be accomplished, the freehold
ers were compelled at their meet
ing yesterday to defer action on the
matter. ........ IHvi
Under the agreement between the
governing officials, the county was
to return that portion from Myrtle
street to a point just north OF ms
lee street back to the city and re-
tain the balance under county con-
troll so that proper repairs could
be made during the period of time
that the new portion of the road is
being cut through, filled and brought
TO grade.
The resolution adopted by, the
council and which was before the
freeholders for consideration. re-
quested the return of the, entire
road, though the. county .ofhciais
pointed out that in the event the
request was complied with they
would be unable to care for. the
emergency repairs of the detoui
while the construction is under way
Members of the board are desir'
Gus of getting the work under way
at the earliest possible date, as. they
feel the improvement is probably one
of the most important ones unde'
the years program. and for which
they have appropriated $4,000, but
as the city authorities have deelar-
ed themselves to be in no position
to provide for temporary repairs
and until. this detail is settled. II
was thought best to hold up th'
matter for another week so that a
complete understanding might be ar
rived at.
