to 're-establish the Constitution OF
the United States, and the purpose
aud ideals OF our government, in the
minds and hearts of the people
THE various state bar assocla-
tiors and the county bar assocla-
tions throughout the country nave
been called upon to assist in pro-
curing proper observance of the
week and with that end in view, are
soliciting the cooperation of the
clergy. the schools and all other or

tiles
.oThe Middlesex County Bar Asso-
citation, in accord with the national
program, hereby urge that speclal

of the United States, and that the
superintendents of schools, and like

leaders in this matter, and to them
falls the duty of trying to strength

to the constitution and securing
pledges of renewed loyalty to it. 1t
has been well said there never was

their Constitution is. and how i'm
portant it is, that its qualities of
personal liberty and rights of every

RELIEF ON FACES OF TOXIC
PEOPLE, FREE FROM QUAEES

TOXIC, Sept. 1S CBy The Asso-
ciated Press) Relief was on the
faces of the people today. for they
had passed the first night free from
earthquakes since the fatal first of
September.
1t is estimated that during the
week there were more than 1000
shocks. 700 of them plainly felt, and
some severe enough TO bring the fear
of fresh destruction.
The weather remains fine, enabl-
ing work to be expedited on tempor-
airy shelters.
The situation in Yokohama is ap-
palling Thousands are camped in
the parks, with the more scanty sup
plies of food and water.
Three days were needed TO Gre
mate the bodies taken from the Sum-
ida river. which runs through To-
kio. Hundreds of bodies still are
floating in adjacent rivers and bays.

MANY S|GNERS
FOR WATERWAY
400 to 500 Signatures on Pc
tition for Deep Channel to
Sandy Hook

Between 400 and 500 signatures
were obtained on the petitions which
were placed about the city, calling
upon the members of the Board of
Commerce & Navigation to use their
Influence in obtaining the deepening
of the Raritan River from the Great
Beds to a point 400 feet above the
Central railroad bridge. The pc
tition will be turned over to the
Board of Engineers who have charge
of this improvement. At the present
time they have been forwarded to
C. S. Atkinson. secretary and treas
urer of the Raritan Terminal &
Waterway Association in New Bruns-
wick.
]. Spencer Smith, president of the
Board of Commerce and Navigation
is reported to be much interested in
this Improvement. In a talk with a
i representative of the Raritan Termi-
nal and Waterways Association he
said he is of the opinion that if some
documentary proof is given showing
the city's willingness TO also improve
conditions if the river channel is
deepened itswould aid greatly in Sc
curing the improvement to the river.
1t is intended therefore to obtain a
certified copy of the meeting of the
aldermen at which the city dock pro-
ject was taken up and acted upon.
1t is likely that as the time draws
nearer for the meeting of the gov
ernment engineers in New York City
when the matter will again be taken
up at a hearing called for the pur-
pose, that many other efforts will be
made to show the engineers how
necessary it is that the Improvement
recommended by the district engi-
neer be carried out.

SCHNEIDER WON
OVER BY GOWEN
Republican State Committee
man Pledges Support to
Under Sheriff in Race.
BIG SPLIT MAY RESULT
All County Candidates Active
With Primaries Only IL
Days Away.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Sept. ia
rift in the Middlesex County Repub-
lican ranks which may lead to a
serious split was foreseen this morn
ing, when it became common knowl-
edge that State Committeeman
Frederick c. Schneider and his fol-
lowers had pledged their support to
the candidacy of Under Sheriff Fred
Gowen OF Highland Park, who seeks
the shrievalty nomination on the
G.. o. P. ticket. His opponent is
David Brown of Woodbridge, who
was selected by the so-called "coun-
ty organization" directed by the
Republican Board of Freeholders
and Senator Morgan F. Larson to
oppose Gowen.
The announcement of Committee
man Schneider's action came like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky as ii
was generally expected that Brown
would receive the united orga MIA
tion support although Gowen was
known to have a big following, es-
pecially among those who have had
dealings with the sheriff's Office re-
Gently and are high in their praise
of the efficient manner in which it
is being conducted. Many reforms
put into effect in the sheriff's office
have been the result of Gowen's
initiative, it is said, and the legal
fraternity of the county is favora BILE
to this experienced man being put
in complete charge of the Office.
When Gowen first announced
himself candidate for the Office OF
sheriff last spring his action was said
to have been distasteful to the Re-
publican organization and a decision
was reached to select their own can
didate to oppose the under sheriff.
Through the influence brought to
bear by the freeholders organiza-
tion David Brown, of Woodbridge,
was won over as a candidate. ac-
cording to the story going the rounds
here. This only served TO make
Gowen fight harder with the result
that he now has won over State
Committeeman Schneider and at
least one freeholder, Clarence NJ
Haight 1t has been estimated that
at least fifty per cent. of the coun-
ty Republicans can be swung over
to Gowen as the result of Schnei-
der's action in pledging his support
to the Highland Park man. Wheth-
er any more of the freeholders will
swing to Gowen is a question but it
is not thought likely that Freehold
ers Dey, Quakenbush and Orpen will
do much campaigning for Brown as
they have a battle of their own this
year as the result of the representa-
tive ticket which the Democrats
have placed in the field.

The work of picking six more jur-
ors to try Walter S. Ward on a
charge of numbering Clarence E.

his wife, turned to her and smiled
broadly She hicked an imaginary
speck of dust from his lapel and,
leaning toward him, whispered in his
ear. Ward beamed and chuckied.
Mrs. Ward was not in court when
the trial began yesterday. Only a
few persons at first recognized her
It was not known whether she had
come from her home in New Roch-
ellie or from Atlantic City, where sht
was reported to have been spending
the last few weeks. Her absence
from the state for a time recent,
caused considerable stir for II wa
recalled that shortly after the mrs
investigation of the Peters killing
she was quoted as saying she could
clear up the case by making "a few
sensational statements"
She may be called as witness
either at her husbands trial or be-
fore the extraordinary grand jury
which indicted Ward and which is
sitting on the floor below that where
the trial is being held.
The first four talesmen called this
morning were challenged.
