PATRICK j. O'HARA
COMMITS SUICIDE

Patrick j. O'Hara, for more than 81
years resident of the Geyser section
committed suicide in a sanitarium in
Monrovia, California, on Wednesday
afternoon week ago. Death was due
to q bullet fired from revolver held
in his own hand, according to the re
port t>ef the coroner's jury. He had
been suffering with tuberculosis for
some years and it is believed that de-
spsiring of recovery he had decided
that life was not worth living and took
this way out of his troubles.
AS near as we can learn the facts
in the late eighties he came to Mon
tana and worked for a short time on
the Bower Brothers ranch near Stan
ford About 1889 he opened a hotel
and saloon in Geyser which he oper-
ated until the Burlington and Northern
railway necessitated the abandonment
of the old town of Geyser or its trans
ference TO the new -MrA0, ,Hara
moved part of his buildings and took
an active part in the building of the
new town. Both hotels in that place
were built by him. He continued to
conduct his place in the new location
for year or two until the disease
with which he suffered fastened itself
l.
tive business and made a trip to Cal
ifornia where he stayed until his
health appeared to be much improved.
He then returned to Montana but some
time ago the malady returned in new
and more acute form and he went back
to Monrovia, California for treatment.
Nothing seemed to be of help, how
ever, and he has been slowly growing
worse. Mrs. O'Hara recently returned
to Montana and expected to join her
husband again at Christmas.
The deceased was SO years of age
and is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Mary Rankin of Spionkop and Mrs.
Bridget Garvin of Chicago.
The body arrived in Great Falls on
Tuesday from California, accompanied
by a nephew, Roger O'Hara. The
funeral was held Wednesday from the
Elk's temple of which lodge Mr..
O'Hara was q member. 1t was attend |
ed by large numbers of friends from
all parts of the country and the cas-
ket was escorted to its final resting
place by a large delegation Of his
lodge brothers, both Elks and Eagles.
The deceased had lived so many
years in the Geyser section that he
was well known to all its residents.
Among them he numbered friends by
the score. His death means the pass
ing of another man who had helped to \
make Montana history He is sim
cerely mourned by many because be-
meath his gruff ways was kind heart
and loyal friend. Belt people have
the utmost sympathy for Mrs. O'Hara.

construction capacity of the sewer
that has been gathered together for
that purpose.
The next issue of the house organ
of the Chamber Of Commerce will be
devoted exclusively to the sewer
question and authorities on SANTA

ture articles pertaining to sewer
building. Posters will also be placed
throughout the town bearing instruc-

les Diamond for League
Battle

At the Hercules field this after
noon the sbuth Amboy Y. NJ. C. A.
nine will be the main attraction in a
Middlesex County Industrial League
game against the representative team
of the powder plant.
ICY" Jacobs will probably handle
the pitching assignment for the
South Amboy team today, while
Buckalew will be on hand in the
event that the local pitcher meets
with an off-day streak. In view of
the fact that the ny" is expected to
win the contest, it is understood that
the powder workers will strengthen
their lines up in order to prevent
the further advance of the associa-
ton team.
At the present time the cross
river team tops the list of teams in
the industrial league and with few
games to e played 1t is without
doubt that they will cop the title.
The Hercules nine since the Begin
ming of the league games has found
itself at home in the cellar positions.
The trip to the Hercules field will
be made from the association club
hous eby bus. A good crowd of root
ers are expected to accompany the

HITS S|LzERS
TROLLEY MOVE
Senator Richards Says "Jer-
Sey City Crowd" Secretly in
League With Public Service

TRENTON. Sept. 22:-That the
Jersey City crowd" we're secretly in
league with the Public Service and
that Governor Silzer "'bungled the
job" In handling the situation re-
sultant upon the Public Service Rail-
way Company's cessation of opera
tions was charged today in a state
ment by State Senator Emerson l..
Richards, Republican, of Atlantic
county.
Senator Richards asserted that the
governor tried TO pass the buck to
Attorney General Thomas L. Nc
Gran, who is a Republican, thinking
that the latter would fail in clearing
up the interrupted operation of the
Public Service Railway lines.
Anyone who knows anything of
the inside of Democratic politics
knows that the Jersey City crowd
are secretly in league with the Pub
lie Service. Outwardly they are busy
passing resolutions, but underneath
their moves are always arranged so
as to give the Public Service the adj
vantage. Perhaps that is why the
governor bungled the job and why
he waited fifty days to do what the
chancellor showed could be done in
five said Senator Richards.
Richards declared that there is no
real settlement of the trolley prob
lem as concerns the Public Service
unless the McCarters are removed
from the control of the company.
He asserted that the principal trou-
BILE was the watered stock of the I'M
DERIVING companies of the Public
Service Corporation.
"A r~eceivership would have meant
a reorganization and a wiping out
of the real cause of the trouble
said Senator Richards.
Richards asserted that with a re-
ownership decreed for the Public
Service, there would not have been
any application for a ten-eent fare.
The credit for winning a legal vic
tory against the nee belonged
to Attorney General McCran, accord
ing to Richards, and in calling upon
the states legal officers to solve the
question, said Senator Rich
ards, the governor tried to put Nc
Gran in a hole"
The Atlantic county senator de-
clared it was quite evident that
neither Governor Silzer nor his
wanted the trolley situation
settled, and the only result of the
governors action was only to start
the fight all over again.

FIGHT
IN THE COURTS
Democratic Split of Makeup
of Primary Ballot Ruled
on by Judge

TRENTON, Sept. 22-The Demo-
cratic factional fight in Camden
county was yesterday brought to the
supreme court when several candi-
date in the Democratic primaries
next Tuesday appeared here before
the court to protest against the pre-
emption of the term Democrat as
a designation by their opponents at
the nominating election and to ask
the court for a writ of mandamus
to compel County Clerk William d
Brown of Camden to place the word
Democrat opposite their names on
tht primary ballot also.
The petitioners before the court
we're Frank A Van Never, Demo-
cratic assembly candidate from
Camden; Mrs Eva Cheesman Byrns,
candidate for delegate-at-large on
the county executive committee and
Edward j. Canning. whose wife, Mrs.
Eva Canning, is also running for
the position of delegate-at-large on
the Democratic county committee.
Former City Attorney Harry
Hartman, of this city, who appeared
for the litigants. declared on behalf
| of Var Never that of five assembly
candidates in the Democratic pri-
| maries, three had opposite their
names the word Democrat" and
the three names were ~bracketed
together, leaving the other two
names, of which Van Never's was
one. without a designation and with
no brackets
Supreme Court Justice Frank S.
Katzenbach who towether with JUS
tiee Thos. w. Trenchard was heard
ing the application, declared that
Van Never had the best OF the ar
gument but that the defect lay in
the primary law itself. The court as
serted that although Van Never was
entitled to a rule to show cause, the
law did not give him time enough
Katzenbach pointed out that it was
not humanity possible to grant a
hearing in the case, so that both
sides could have their day in court
and to change the primary ballots
so as to give every candidate a fair
show.

THE GRAND 9Th WARD

If anyone has any doubts that the
sixth ward is a city in itself they
should hear Joseph F. Powers, a
candidate for the nomination of al
derman, tell about the ward in his
campaign addresses. Mr.. Powers
describes the ward something like
this:
THE sixth ward is a city in itself.
Some idea of the size of this impor-
tant ward may be obtained by know
ing that it has four public schools
as well as %parochial schools, one
half of a park, city stables, city fire
bell, several churches, city hospital,
isolation hospital, an old city dump,
a fire company four cemeteries and
when they die in the other wards
they bring them up to the sixth ward
and let them rest in peace"
