Seven years will elapse before the
women of New Jersey can again hope
to vote. This became evident late
hu t night, when returns of the spe
rl^l/Jectloç yesterday showed that
' - went overwhelmingly
ttgrv.dn*t worani<^H|traBe and the of her
two proposed aiuOijiinnta to the
state constitution. With most dis
tricts heard from there appears to be
a majority of approximately 2,500
votes against equal suffrage In Mid
dlesex county. Perth Am boy went
against the cause by a vote of 1,7 00
to 1,314, the majority being 886. The
city opposed amendment No. 3, con
cerning excess condemnation, almost
equally as much, the vote being 1,
582 to 1,243, showing a majority of
839 against it. Amendment No. 2 was
lost In the city by a vote of 1,545
to 1.336, a majority of 179.
Only One County For Suffrage.
Latest returns Indicated that only
one of the twenty-one counties in the
state went in favor of equal suffrage.
That was Ocean vounty. bordering on
the Atlantic ocean, an agricultural
and fisherman's community, which
went about 300 in favor of equal
suffrage. Counties In the northern
part of the state voted overwhelm
ingly against suffrage and in Essex
county alone the estimated majority
against It Is 14,000. The majorities
against the cause In counties follow:
Atlantic, 2,600; Bi:rgcn, 1,000; Bur
lington, 2,000; Camden, 3,200; Cape
May, 300; Cumberland. 860; Essex,
14,000; Gloucester, 550; Hudson,
8,000; Hunterdon, 550; Mercer, 3,000;
Middlesex, 2,600; Monmouth. 800;
Morris, 1,100; Passaic, 1,090; Salem,
450; Somerset. 1,800; Sussex, 000;
Union, 2,400; Warren, 400. The esti
mated majority in the state Is 50,000,
and prominent political leaders de
clare that it will Jump to sixty or
seventy thousand when all districts
have been heard from.
President Woodrow Wilson declared
himself for suffrage In this state. How
ever, Ills district In Princeton voted
against It to the extent of 150 to 64,
a majority of eighty-six votes. Plain
field, the home of Mrs. Edward F.
Feickert, president of the New Jer
sey State Woman's Suffrage Associa
tion, and of Champlin L. Kiley, presi
dent of the New Jersey Men's League
for Equal Suffrage, also went against
the cause.
Newark, as the largest city in the
state, was naturally the center of in
terest. New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts kept in close touch with
this city all day. · As soon as the polls
closed Inquiries from these states
poured In.
Stories to the effect that the election
rivould be contested on the ground of
fraud received little credence today.
In the defeat suffrage partisans are
pretending to see a repudiation of
President Wilson's views on the sub
ject. Impartial observers are unwill
ing to agreo that the chief executive
has lost prestige by the result, point
t lng out that he voted simply as an
Individual.
There does not seem to he any form
of alibi for the defeat of the suffrage
amendment. Had weather conditions
been adverse, this might have been
advanced, but the da:y was perfect,
thus Insuring a large vote.
It may be claimed that the political
machine caused the downfall of equal
suffrage, but In some sections of the
state where party Influences are not
considered to dominate the electorate,
the antl majority remained unbroken.
Must Walt For Seven Years.
Α ι* all three proposed amendments
were lost, the advocates of equal
suffrage will have to wait for seven
years before they can hope to obtain
the ballot for New Jersey women. A,
proposed amendment may be offered
In the legislature five years hence,
and, If adopted by that and the euc

Ν.1 SUFFRAGISTS
NOT DISCOURAGED
But It is Admitted That Some
Organizations Will Not be as
Active as Heretofore.
Special by United Presa Wire.
New York, Oct. 20:—The defeat of
woman's suffrage In New Jersey will
have no effect on the New York cam
paign, suffrage headquarters an
nounced.
"New Jersey isn't New York," said
MrE. James Lees I .aid law. "Of course
we would be glad had Jersey won
suffrage, but we know that they had
not the preparation that we have had
here."
The overwhelming defeat of suffrage
In New Jersey means the abandon
ment of the state fight of various or
ganizations working for the cause and
the centering of all efforts of an
amendment to the federal constitution
giving women the vote.
This was Indicated here today by Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw, president of the
National American Woman's Suffrage
Association. Dr. Shaw declared the
check in New Jersey would Inevitably
drive the women to congress to ask
for the franchise.
I,ate returns today indicated that the
majority returned against suffrage yes
terday may reach 60,000. Out of
twenty-one counties only one voted to
give women the ballot. Ocean gave
the suffragists a majority of 300.
Post Thing for Penna. Antis.
Spevtal bjj United Press Wire.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 20—The "best
thing that could have happened for
the cause of the antle."
This is the way Mrs. John B.
Heron, national vice president of the
Association Opposed to Equal Suf
frage and chairman of the Pennsylva
nia executive committee, today el
pressed jubilation over the suffrage
defeat in New Jersey.
"The fact that President Wilson did
not carry his own state for suffrage Is
mighty significant," she said. "It will
have α sweeping effect. It moans de
feat for suffrage in Pennsylvania."
ESTIMATES NOT OPENED
In view of the fact that the Pratt
Brown Company Is considering the
fcrection of a four-story building In
stead of a two-story one, as originally
planned, the estimates for the con
struction of the new building on what
was formerly tho Hallahan estate, at
the corner of Smith street and Madi
son avenue, were not opened yester
day. The Pratt-Brown concern, which
is represented locally by the Alpe.n
Company, Intends to rent the building
for offices and stores, and It Is sail
that the demand for rooms was r-o j
great that a four-story building will ι
be marte necessary.

WORK RESUMES AT
CITY LIGHT PLANT
Watson-Flagg Representative
Declares There is No Strike
as Far "as He's Concerned.
WILL EMPLOY ANY ONE
Masons and Bricklayers Will
Go to Work Tomorrow, It
is Stated.
The once popular saying of "Oft
again, on again, Ftnnegan," has been
applicable to the' strike situation in
volved between the local electrical
union and the Watson-Flagg Kngin
eering Company the past few days.
The strike, or whatever those con
cerned have chosen to call It, was con
sidered settled yesterday. l.ast night,
all efforts to settle it wore undone,
and today Pie Watson-Flagg represen
tative here declared that there was no
strike, so far as he was concerned,
as all work was being resumed, there
would be a full quota of men on the
job tomorrow and negotiations had
been broken off. The firm's superin
tendent stated that the work would go
on in full blast, regardless of whether
there would come a settlement, or no
agreements be reached. Asked If
union men would be employed, he re
plied, "Yes, whenever posaibte; but
others might be taken on."
All negotiations were broken off
abruptly last night when the union
representatives returned with a patch
ed-up agreeirtent, which contained an
other rainy weather clause. It pro
vided that the employers had to pay
employes for half a day, If they ven
tured out on a Job for any length of
lime. It was flatly and promptly re
jected by the Wntson-Flagg superin
tendent. Today he stated the strike
was over, so far as his company was
concerned, as they could not under
take to pay men when they did not
work.
The electrical workers asked for an
Increase In pay to $3.50 a day .and an
eight-hour day, which they secured.
It Is declared that they then returned
and demanded $4 for a day's work.
Fills was refused. Through efforts of
Ihe aldermen, the Watson-Flagg repre
sentative and electrical union officials
conferred Monday afternoon. They
were together for about four hours,
threshed out each point and then
agreed to strike out the Inclement
weather clause, releasing the contrac
tors from paying men when they did
not work. It was planned to have
irtlcles of agreement signed last night.
When the Watson-Flagg superintend
ent saw the again altered a^'eements,
lie declined to sign. With that came
the breaking of negotiations.
It was stated among contractors
nnd employes on the electrical plant
that the masons and bricklayers
would resume work there, tomorrow
morning, having appeared to become
disgusted with the actions of mem
bers of the electrical union. It was
plain that the Watson-Flagg repre
sentatives had tired of dealing with
the electrical union officials and In
dications were that they would not
again take up negotiations with them.
The result. It appears, will be that the
work will be done with such men in
the employ of the Watson-Flagg
Company as it can secure,· but pref
erence will be shown to local men.
Fflforts will probably be made to se
cure union men, but If none will work
on the plant because of the walk-out,
the company will engage such men as
it can regardless of whether they are
affiliated with a union.
While the work lias been held up
pending negotiations the past several
tlays, a howl has been set upon by
some merchants and drivers because
of the large openings in streets, par
ticularly along Smith street. They
have a hinderance and anger to traf
fic, while no steps have been taken
to close them up and complete the
work.

2 ACCIDENTS HERE
Alfred Metubsky, 14 Months
Old, Run Over and Fatally
Injured by Truck.
THE DRIVER IS ARRESTED
Andrew Wolff, 20 Months Old,
Dies After Being Crushed by
Train Yesterday Afternoon.
Two children of tender age were
killed In accidents here yesterday af
ternoon. Alfred Metubsky, fourteen
months old, son of Martin Metubsky,
of 637 West Side avenue, was run
over and fatally Injured by a team of
horses and wagon belonging to Mich
ael H. Qriffen, a farmer of Bradveit,
Monmouth county. Andrew Wolff,
twenty months old, son of George
Wolff, of 527 High stret, died shortly
after 6 o'clock last night as the re
! suit of being crushed by a Lehigh
Valley train at the railroad com
pany's stock grounds near its home.
The Metubsky child died a few min
utes after it had been rup down, its
head having been horribly crushed.
Run Over by Wagon.
Little Alfred Metubsky, toddled
out of the yard of its home and out
on West Side avenue just in time to
be run over by the Griffon farming
rig shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday
j afternoon. Dennis Quish, thirty years
I old, of Bradveit, was the driver.
I He was arrested on a technical charge
of manslaughter and-locked up here,
pending the granting of bail by
Judge J)aly at the county seat today.
In the wagon with him at the time of
the accident was Qriffen, William
Clark and John Flynn, all of Mon
mouth county. They were en route
to deliver a load of potatoes, which
had been sold at the public market.
With Griffen seated by his side at
the front, and the other two men on
the rear of the farm wagon, Quish
drove down the steep decline on the
westerly sido of the Hall avenue
bridge. He turned northward into
West Hide avenue and continued down
grade, with the horses running:, wit
nesses say. A few seconds after he
had made the turn ho was about to
pass In front of the Metubsky home,
when the Metubsky child cume run
ning out of the gate and onto the
street. The horses were running at
such speed that nil efforts to stop
them to avoid strlkkig the child were
futile. The little victim was knocked
down and it is believed that one of
the wheels supporting the heavy 1 ad
ran over its head and crushed it.
V\ illlng hands en fried the child to
its home. It was then hurried to the
office of Dr. Urbanskl, where it died
a few minutes after the accident. Dr.
Rtuasay reported the accident to
Chief of Police Burke and In the
meanwhile Quish went to police head
quarters to give himself up. There
was a report that Quish and the
other occupants of the wagon acted
as though they were under the influ
ence of liquor. Chief Burke stated
today that there was no such signs
when they appeared at police head
quarters. Quish was immediately
locked up, pending arraignment be
fore Judge Daly today.
Investigates Accident.
Mounted I'atrolman Hartung made
an investigation of the accident. He
ascertained who owned the rig and
summoned Coroner Mullen. The offi
cial investigated the case thoroughly.
He discovered that John Muska, of
4 59 Penn street, was an eye witness. ,
According to Coroner Mullen, Muskn
states that Quish drove up on the
sidewalk In front of the Metubsky I
home, when he took a wide turn Into ι
West Side avenue, and caused the rig
to hit the child while It was on the
sidewalk. ,
Andrew Wolff, twenty months old, i
of 527 High street, died in the city s
hospital at Π : 1 5 o'clock last night as i
the result of being crushed and hav
ing both legs amputated when run \
over by α drilling train of the Lehigh I
Valley railroad. The accident hap- 1
pened within about fifty feet of the t
Wolff home, the child having veil- 1
turcd out of the yard und over on the f
southerly track at the southerly side s
of the stock grounds of the railroad ·
company, according to all information '
available. Drs. W. E. Ramsay and t
M. S. Melnzer were summoned imme- 1
diately after the accident and at their 1
order the little victim was placed In <
an automobile and rushed to the ci!y ^
hospital. Dr. J. L. I,und was engaged >
In operating nt the Institution. Every
means possible to save the child's llfo '
was resorted to, bul it was believed ■
that life could not continue more than 1
a few hours. One leg was amputated '
above the ankle and the other just ·β
below the knee. c
Having practically decided to thor- '
oughly investigate all sudden deaths, s
whether physicians are In attendance '
before death or the persons die with
out medical attention, ("oroner K. ,T. J
Mullen will probably Investigate 1 hi.·» '
iallroad accident. It has been the λ
common belief that a coroner Is not f
obliged to handle cases wherein phy- '
siclans have been In attendance be- '
fore death and are able to sign death
certificates. Agreeing with the form- c
er coroner here. Mr. Mullen express».-:
it as his contention that he should In- ι
vestigate all cases of sudden death |
wherein physicians have not been i;i
attendance for twenty-four honts
previous to death. He intends to fol
low that idea and see that every ense
is sifted to the bottom. f

Conferences Today Indicate
General Cabinet Shake-Up

Bpecial bu United Press Wire,
London, Oct. 20.- That Premier
Asqulth's illness will prove so serious
as to compel his resignation, ending a
virtual deadlock in the Uritlsh cab
inet was the growing belief in some
quarters, following the audience
grunted by King Edward to A lienor
I,aw, colonial minister In the present
coalition cabinet, who as a conserva
tive, certainly would become premier
if Asqultlp. a liberal, should retire.
His majesty today received Sir Ed
ward Carson, who quit as attorney
general out of dlsatlsfactlon of the
Asquith war ministry policy.
The conferences were widely in
terpreted as indicating that a general
cabinet shakeup la at least under con
sideration.
Though there was no idea that
France was making suggestions con
cerning the ministry it was believed
the matter may hnve been indirectly
involved at the cabinet committee
meeting Tuesday with War Minister
Millerand of Franco and French Min
ister Cambon, at which It was taken
for granted the allies' military policy
was discussed. That Asquith was
losing Influence was generally con
ceded, many even of his friends hav
ing openly come over to the view that
though a capable adminster, the pre
mier is not the man for such an emer
gency as the present one.
It was learned on reliable authority
today that Hir Edward ("arson's res
