Washington, .Oct. 13:—Suspicion that a belligerent government might be maintaining a naval base on the Atlantic coast of this country, caused the sudden dash to sea of destroyers from Newport yesterday, Secretary Daniels said today. Admiral Mayo, commanding the At lantic fleet, ordered the ships out yes terday. They will scour the coast aa far north as East Port, Me., near the Canadian border, searching for possi ble secret submarine bases or wireless stations. "We have no reason to believe any belligerent is maintaining a base on this shore," Daniels said. "During the last year, however, whenever there has been a report or even a possibil ity that a belligérant was maintaining a submarine base on this side we have sent out destroyers to search for it." Since the arrival of the U-6S Daniels said, there have been many reports, particularly in newspapers, that some belligerent was maintaining a naval base here. The order for the sud den trip to sea was made by Admiral Mayo, on his own Initiative. While the department has no Information on this point the suddenness of the de parture of the destroyers gave rise to reports that the Newport naval men had been "tipped" to the location ol a naval base. πηιτιηιι inmiiAr OnlllaJI MltMK ALONG THE SOMME Haig Claims Gains on Mile and Half Front in Severe Fighting.

CAMPAIGN ON NOV. 20TH Support of Public Will be Asked to Help Along This Needed Institution. As the building in which the Day Nursery is located at the present time Is to be sold and is too small, the Board of Managers has found it nec essary to look for other desirable quarters and in order to secure the funds for such a structure have de cided to begin a campaign for funds In this city on November 20: For some time the board has been on the lookout for desirable quarters and they have Anally found the property that meets their need in every respect. For four years the Perth Amboy Day Nursery has been filling a need in this city, over 3,000 children hav ing been cared for each year. Mothers bring their children to the nursery as early as 7 o'clock in the morning, where they are greeted by the ma tron, Mrs. A. E. Dunton. When the time for school arrives those who are old enough to attend are sent to school. The noon and evening meal is furnished at the nursery at the rate of five cents per day for each child, except where there are more than three children from one family, and then the mother is charged only fif teen cents. Only the children of widows, or of those whose fathers are physically unable for work, are re ceived at the nursery. The average attendance this week has been twenty children, twelve of whom attend school, leaving at the nursery under the matron's care one baby a year old and seven children between the ages of two and four. It costs |90 a month In addition to the provisions donated by many different friends to run the nursery. The fact Is emphasized that the present quarters are so small that the babies must take their naps in re lays. It is the full belief of the Board of Managers of the Day Nursery that everyone In Perth Amboy will help them to provide a suitable home for these little people, who W6i!d other wise be left at home alone or whose older brothers and sisters would be kept from school to care for them. PRESIDENT TODAY IN BURG Democrats Feel That Indiana is Still Unknown Quantity— Wilson Homeward Bound. By ROBERT J. BENDER. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) On Board President Wilson's Train, Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 13—President Wilson swung homeward through Re publican Pennsylvania today well pleased over his Indiana recep tion yesterday. Stopping here he alighted from his private car, paced the platform, shook hands with a number of people and! cftatted Infor mally. Democratic leaders still feel that Indiana is an unknown quantity, but that In the two addresses the President made yesterday he carried home the two points that "the Presi dent is contemptuous of such views as sectionalism and other contentions raised by his Republican opponents and Is determined to carry on his campaign to make his advisories as he says, 'put up or shut up' on what he regards as real issues." For the first tinte he has explained exhaustively to the farmers of the country what the Democratic con gress has done for them by passing the rural credits, the federal reserve banks and other acts. On the latter points his lieutenants say he now has this idea well before the country. They feel the one big issue on which the campaign rests Is whether the people endorsed the President's for eign policy. Enthusiasm Is Pleasing They point to the enthusiasm ac corded his every utterance on peace yesterday as strong evidence of ap proval. The President himself hinted in one of his addresses that the "friendly look of people who lined the streets" encouraged him in the belief that they believed In his ex pression of the national spirit, hence they feel Indiana will come Into line on the issue "Peace with Wilson." Tomorrow afternoon the President will talk to a big delegation of Pennsylvania Democrats, who are go ing to Shadow Lawn to hear him in the third of his speeches from the veranda of the summer White House.

CASUALTIES ARE GROWING Another Death Reported Today in Violent Riots—Find Man's Body. epecial by United Preen Wire. Bayonne, Oct. 13.—Though fearing Friday the thirteenth might prove to be "bloody Friday," police and cit izens here today tried to quell the oil men strike without calling the militia. The growing list of casualties includ ed another death reported today in fearful riots, however, made it uncer tain that this could be accomplished. Throwing their lines into the bloody zone of the Hook and Gridiron dis trict here today, police and deputies cowed striking oil workers. Nine men were arrested on various charges. One of them the police admitted was a sniper. Up to early this afternoon the police hadfailed to get conclu sive proof concerning the early morn ing murder of an unidentified man, believed to have been a general chemical agent, engaged in trying to get strikers back to work. There was some sniping but the wild riots of previous days were lack ing, though there was by no means any certainty that the bloodshed was ended. The police took further stringent steps to prevent strikers getting liq uor when they confiscated the licenses of twenty-five saloons, alleged to be doing business In violation of the edicts that there must be no sale In the strike area. The Tidewater Company decided not to pay off today for they feared the money might be used to buy weapons or liquor. The strikers were still In ugly mood today, while police and special depu ties under Inspector Cady, were ready for anything. The police claimed to have better control than heretofore, in view of their Invasion of strikers' ter ritory and their closing of saloons, but despite dead lines and gun plaj the territory controlled by striker* was actually a block broader today than previously. Up to noon there had been no repe al;:; Çl υ?„9 rioting,and police were patrolling the stAié zoiiffô forth* first time since the trouble started. Mean time Tidewater representatives were conferring with men on the advisabil ity of paying oft today on the usual payday. Some fear was expressed that the payment would be used to buy more arms and ammunition. Find Man's Body. tilled man, apparenter a SUm·—U»c third person killed—was found at 84 West Nineteenth street with a bullet wound over the right eye. Investiga tion led to the belief that he was a worker of the General Chemical Com pany who had tried to get strikers to return to their labor, for a bonus. A saloonkeeper reported the man had been in for a drink about midnight that he heard a shot soon after and that ten men ran away directly after wards. Sheriff Eugene Klnkead today said he would keep hands oft the strike unless It got beyond control, then he said he would send in about 200 picked men for a clean up campaign. Police early today drove off strikers ap proaching the Tidewater oil company plant and a Standard Oil building. There were several arrests during the night for looting and minor disturb ances. The third victim of the strike dis order is as yet unidentified. After a rattle of revolvers he was found shot through the head in front of No. 84 West Nineteenth street, opposite the City Park. Police authorities recog nized him as one of a committee ol ten who came yesterday from the General Chemical Company, offering a bonus of $15 a week to every one of the company's 2,200 employes who would return to work today. Daylight this morning found armed police patrolling the streets held on Wednesday night by rioting strikers. More stores had been looted, however, during the night, and 200 shots were exchanged between a detachment un der Inspector Cady and two forces o( strikers who attempted to fire the Tide Water Oil Company's plant and one of the Standard Oil buildings. Though the strikers were still cowed by the police show of resistance late yesterday and, for the most part, re mained in the vicinity of their homes, where they met around bonfires and yelled all night, there was a feeling that hostilities might be renewed at any moment PERTH AMBOY'S FINEST CLOTH ING STOHE IS LOCATED AT STATE ST..

WOMAN HOLDS DOOR SHUT Blood-stained Clothes Found in House—Jealousy May Have Been Motive. James C. Chance, about forty year· old, a Philadelphia and Reading rail road conductor, living: in Port Read ing, was stabbed to death near the crossing of the Central railroad tracka and Fayette street shortly after mid night this morning. Thomas Gunn, eighteen and Eda Royster, twenty five, both negroes living at 335 pros pect street, are locked up here on a charge of murder. Four white men, two of them residents of South Am· boy, were arrested at material wit nesses. Chance, who is white, received four severe stab wounds, about as many minor cuts and sustained abrasions and bruises about the legs, probably when he fell. Information gathered by the police indicate that those who murdered the railroader attacked him while he was on Fayette street about one hundred feet east of the Central tracks and then dragged his body to the southbound track in a vain effort to have a train so mutilate it as to hide the crime. Neither Gunn nor the Royster woman would admit having had any connection with the crime when they were giv< η third degree examinations by Chief of Police Burke, Detective Sergeant Long and the arresting po lice officers this morning. Identité·-d as Murderer. Gunn was identified by «Itnescs %a ·Λ -·.urdCTfcr. the proof Patrolman La? trousers and a shirt in his home soon after the crime had been committed. The police say there are other circum-» tances which point directly to the two negroes, and especially to Gunn. One of the most important of these is the fact that the man who jabbed a knife blade into Chance's body was left handed. Gunn signs his name with his left hand and uses the same hand in smoking cigarettes and doing other things, the police aver. All evidence gathered by the police up to an early hour this afternoon indicated that either the claim that a "gang" of white men tried to accom pany Royster woman to a dark spot near Fayette street and the Central railroad, or the statement that Gunn was Jealous when it became known that Chance had been in company with the woman, led to the stabbing. The police learned that the negro wo man had been attending a negro ball in Washington hall just prior to tlié murder. She went out and west on Fayette street, leaving her coat be hind, they were told. This fact gave the authorities the impression that she was making a trip out to a dark place about Fayette street and the Central railroad frequented by ne groes and sometimes by white persons Victim Lyinj? on Tracks. The police first learned of the mur der at 12:45 o'clock this morning. While Roundsman Morris was stand ing near the Central Railroad depot, Lawrence Dockwell, of 175 Market street, came and told him that a man was lying on the Central Railroad tracks at Fayette street and was bleeding. The roundsman blew his whistle to attract Patrolman I^arsen and together they went to Fayette street. Chance was found there and appeared to be alive, four men were standing by and one of them, Charles A. Sherry, twenty years old, of South Amboy, said that a negro man and woman had made the attack. The of ficers then started for Prospect street. They found Patrolman Lybeck. Of ficers Larsen and Lybeck then went into a negro settlement along Prospect street, while the roundsman went back to secure aid for Chance. The officer telephoned to Dr. Meinser, who gave instructions to have the victim remov ed to the hospital. Soon after receiv ing the instructions. Roundsman Morris found Chance was dead. He then notified Coroner Mullen, who took charge of the body. (Continued on page 7.) Perth Amboy Cboral Society rehearsal at the High School Building, Tuesday eve., Oct. 17, at 8 o'clock.
