THREE CENTS bTc^T* 1 Democratic Leaders Issue Statements Regarding Status Of Two Clubs-Polish Issue Before Council Today 2 KILLED. SEVERAL BADLY INJURED IN AUTO AND CROSSING ACCIDENTS New Club Was Formed to Boom His Candidacy, is General Opinion DORSEY HAS STATEMENT Says Old Club Will Not Meet for Time Being-*-May End Split Although David T. Wilentz denies that he will be a candidate for the assembly on the Democratic ticket, and Senator Thomas Brown will make no statement as to whether or not he will be a candidate for re election, political observers in the city and county are of the opinion that the new Democratic Club in this city, the forming of which seemed to bo leading to a split in the Democratic ranks, was formed with the idea in view of supporting these two candidates. From a statement made last week by Former Mayor Frank Dorsey, president of the original Democratic Club, everything seemed to be lead ing to a wide split in the party as \ far as this city is concerned, but " another statement today by the for mer mavor can only carry one meaning'and that is, that no matter ivhat cost the party must be kept together. "I will give my whole hearted support to any club,” said |dr .Dorsey. His complete state ment follows: •On account ot many business interests my time is all taken up and for this reason I feel that l cannot afford to give the necessary time to a political ciub. After con sul,ing with the cfheers and many members of the original Democratic Club, it was decided not to call a meeting a* suggested last week. It may be to the interest of the party to have only ono club, ana 11 tnat s true I will give my whole-hearted support to any Democratic club. This statement from Mr. Dorsey will come as a great surprise to many in the city, as it was believed that a feeling was being raised in the party that would split it from stem to stern. Just what the out come of the statement w'll be. may be shown tonight by those m the audience at the meeting of the New Democratic club, which is to be held in the Boynton building over the Bose store at 8 o’clock. If large numbers of the former members ot the original Democratic party are present at this meeting, in all Pro bability the new club will assume the leadership but if the members of the original club are conspicuous by their absence, there is no doubt but the original Democratic club will be the leading orgam«auwn. The principal feature of the meet ins tonight will be the speaker, who, according to President John R. i Toolan, is a prominent person in 1 this state. The committee in charge of this part of the program has decided to hold the appearance of the speaker here a complete sur prise and tor this reason lias not announced the man's name. J he address will begin, according to an nouncements today, at exactly o o’clock. , . . Other work to be taken up at to night’s meeting, will be the report of the by-laws and constitution com mittee. This committee since its ap pointment has been busy drawing up bv-laws and these may be submitted at the meeting. The by-laws com mittee is composed of two men from each ward in the city. Their names First ward, V. Satler. J. K. Toolan. second ward. Harry Pender Harry McDermott: third ward. William Ko zub. Hugh Gallagher: fourth ward. Walter Mathiasen, Charles Dorian, fifth ward, Michael Dwyer, Patrick Killmunay: sixth ward, George Mil ler, Mathew F. Melko. There is a possibility that the names of the candidates for the com ing primary may he announced ai tonight's meeting, hut If they are not announced tonight, assurance has been given that they will be an nounced at the next general meeting of the club.

TILTS FEME Several Appointments Includ ing that of Willis, Are Laid Over [By Evening News Correspondent.] TRENTON, Aug. 8.—Several live ly tilts marked the meeting of the State Board of Education just held at the state house, with the result that several important appointments were laid over until the September meet ing and significant changes were made in the business methods of the board. The appointments which fail ed of confirmation were: Reappointments of County School superintendents made by State Com missioner of Education John En right: Atlantic county, Henry Al. Cressman; Bergen county, B. C. Wooster; Camden county, Charles S. Albertson; Mercer county, Joseph M. Arnold; Middlesex county. H. Brew ster Willis; Passaic county, Edward W. Garrison; Somerset county, Henry C. Krebs. Miss Dorothy Shank, assistant pro fessor of home economics at the State Agricultural College at New Brunswick, salary $2,400, to succeed Miss Carlson, resigned. Miss Flor ence Wagner, new appointee, as in structor in home economics at the State College, salary $1,800. There was no opposition to any ot the county superintendents. Owing to the fact that Commissioner En right is new in that office he was unfamiliar with a rule of the board that a memorandum of all appoint ments to office should be sent to the board members in advance, and such advance notice had not been given. Following a previous skirmish over a resolution of Col. D. Stewart Craven of Salem, Col. Craven now insisted that the rule referred to be enforced. This was adopted and the county sup erintendents will all be confirmed next month. The resolution for the appointment of Miss Shank and Miss Wagner kicked up a real rumpus. It was offered by ex-Judge William F. Mor row, of Belvidere, chairman of the Vocational Training Committee, who said it had been mailed to him by Roy L. Shaffer, the new assistant commissioner of education i i charge of this work, with a request to have it adopted. Morrow strenuously ob jected to this method. He continued: "I don’t know anything about the resolution and will not sponsor it. 1 don’t know a thing about these women, their ability or training, or where they are to teach. My com mittee doesn’t know anything about it. I will not favor anything unless I know something about it. Is this committee a mere machine to be operated by the assistant commis sioner? Not while I am chairman. We should know something about this vocational training before we are asked to pass upon questions re lating to it.” Several members agreed with Judge Morrow. “I have been seek ing knowledge along this lino for five years,” declared John P. Murray of Jersey City. “It’s a sealed book to most of us,” admitted President Melvin A Rice of Atlantic Highlands. iwu rint ALMfiivid ntnt; LITTLE DAMAGE DONE -* Burning jelly, filling the house with smoke, cuased an alarm of fire to be turned in from box 36 last night shortly before 8 o’clock. The supposed firo was at the home of Herman Chesansky, at 192 New Brunswick avenue, but as it turned out there was no blaze and no damage was done.

Streets were flood ed, sewers stopped up and washouts were numerous, but no fatalities re sulted from the sharp bolts of light ning. The wind did not attain much velocity here as in other places within a twenty-five mile radius. A camper at Keansburg was killed instantly when lightning struck his tent, an airplane of the Aeromariine Company of Keyport was forced to land off Sandy Hook and the pas sengers saved from drowning as the result of a perilous rescue. Light ning struck a barn at Jamesburg the resulting Are completely de stroying the structure. The detour to Matuwan, taken by autoists going to and from the coast resorts, was made impassable as the result of the heavy rain. As a result all traffic was tied up over this route. The long line of cars returning from the shore slowly moved through this city during the storm, numerous collisions and smash-ups being narrowly averted, owing to the inability of the drivers to see plainly in the rain. Many of the autoists gave up the attempt last night and returned this morn ing, a. steady line of cars passing over the bridge this morning, neces sitating the placing of an etxra traffic man at Prospect street and New Brunswick avenue. Traffic is Blocked [By Evening News Correspondent.] MATAWAN, Aug. 8—During the heaviest part of the electric storm here yesterday afternoon, a tieup occurred on the Cliffwood detour, completely blocking all traffic via way of Ravine drive and making it necessary for those returning from the sea side resorts to enter the detour via way of Middle street, a distance of almost a mile more than is usually necessary. The tieup occurred when a large automobile truck became stuck on the hill near the Halibi farm. The confusion was added to somewhat by the fact that about the same time a large touring car stalled on the Ravine drive hill and it was sometime before it was crpaired so that regular traffic could be re sumed. The men on the motor truck took down part of a fence in order to release the truck from the ditch, but the owner of the fence coming upon the scene after truck had been released and wah about ready to start, jumped in front of machine and refused to allow it to proceed claiming damages for his property. It is said that the man as the truck offered to pay for the party of the fence used, but still the man re fused to let the truck proceed. ; Finally an officer was sent for, but ; before he arrived the mail ailowoj the truck to go on its way. During the time the owner of the fence and the men on the truck were having their trouble, traffic over this de tour was completely tied up. Thousands of cars passed through j the borough yesterday the traffic be ing exceedingly heavy during the early evening, when motorists were in a hurry to get home before the rain caught them. During the night thieves entered Martins garage at the Matawan sta tion and stole a number of auto mobile tires and tubes. Other things of value were also taken. The police have the case under investigation Ikirn Struck by Lightning NEW BRUNSWICK. Aug. 8— During the electric storm yesterday afternoon the barn belonging to Salter Slover at Road Hall, near Jamesburg, was struck by lightning and was totally destroyed by the re sulting tire. The barn contained the entire crop gathered so far this sum mer and included a quantity of hay, grain and potatoes. Two horses were burned to death in the build ing. The Jamesburg fire department went to the fire, but unable to save the structure, concentrating its at tention upon the nearby buildings and saving them from destruction. Aeroplane Forced to Land KEY PORT, Aug. 8—The Aeroma rine Company’s seaplane Ambassa dor, going from Atlantic City to New York, was forced to land near Sandy Hook when caught in a sudden squall yesterday afternoon and the pilot and three passengers were rescued bv the crew from the yacht Lounger II, owned by Inglis Up percu .president of the Aeromarine Company. The yacht was the first to sight the foundering aircraft and sped to its rescue. Arthur Caperton was the pilot.

McKeonn, member of the Irish Re publican parliament, the impression was given in official circles that he would be released with other prison ers. It was intimated that the decision to retain him in prison came from Dublin castle and was not the ruling of the British cabinet. It was pointed out that the Irish ; prisoners were being progressively released and that the case of Mc Keonn would be reached in due time. It is understood Premier Lloyd George, now in Paris for the su preme council meeting, is keeping in touch with the Irish question and a courier has been sent to Paris, possibly on the mission of Eamon D’Valera. It is understood the Mc Keonn settlement is in the hands of the premier. The opinion is expressed that while the ends of justice would be met only by the execution of this prisoner, it is highly probable that the premier in the higher interest of peace may consent to his release. Not Pone by Government DUBLIN. Aug. 8:—Eamon De Valera discussing the case of John McKeonn today declared he did not believe the refusal to release Mc Keonn with the other imprisoned members of the parliament repre- 1 sented the considered decision of the British government. It was done, he thought, by subordinates. Mr. Childers, who is associated « with the .Sinn Fein leaders, today declared the report that no meeting of the Irish republic parliament could be held until McKeonn is re- . leased was unfounded. ! The expectation prevailed in ofTl cial circles that the reply of Lloyd George on McKeonn’s case will be prompt and favorable. Message to Premier [By The Associated Press.] Paris, Aug. S.—A message from the Irish parliament was delivered to Premier Lloyd George here. No reply had been sent at a late hour this morning. 48 DEATH TILL IN SHIPWRECK Bodies of Dead and Survivors Are Brought to Shore Many Missing [By The Associated Press.] EUKEKA, Cal., Aug. 8—-The steamer Alaska which struck on the rocks at Blunt's tecf Saturday night with a probable death list of forty eight, split in two by an explosion of the boilers survivors said today, and passengers and members of the crew were thrown hit otho sea. The steamer Anyox today brought 106 survivors to Eureka; seventeen dead also were brought here. There are thirty-one others missing. Twelve dead were lndentlfled. The Alaska was proceeding to ward San Francisco. The Alaska struck the npef shortly after !) o'clock. Five miles away the steam er Anyox of Vancouver picked up messages of distress and disregard ing fug, put on full speed to the rescue. At 9:30 o'clock the Anyox received the final report from the sinking ship. Anyox first met a lifeboat filled with survivors. Some of the survivors planned to leave today for San Francisco on board a special train arranged for by officials of the steamship company. Others left Eureka last night. The authorities made plans to hold an inquest today over the seventeen bodies held in the morgue here. Many of the passengers and mem bers of the crew who were blown into the sea by the explosion of the boilers succeeded in again boarding the ship it was said or clung to the wreckage until life boats arrived. The steamer's crew hardly had time to put over the life boats. Many were wrecked in launching, spilling their human cargo into the icy wat ers. J. H. Moss and C. L. Vilim, both of Chicago, said they reached a life boat which had been swept off the deck. Other life boats went down with the ship they said. Captain Hobey of the Alaska pre ferred to go to his death rather tliSn leave his command, passengers re ported. When Mr. Moss offered to remove a lifebelt, witnesses said, the captain said: "I prefer to go down with my ship." He was only 40 years old. This was his third trip on the Alaska which he took command of three weeks ago. Many tales of heroism were told. Eileen Dyer, of LaGrande, Ore gon, aged five, was rescued by the Anyox after she had drifted around in the ley waters for nearly eight hours. She was unconscious when found. Eileen with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Dyer, and her twin sis ter and brother were going to San Francisco. Mrs. Dyer and the two twins were reported missing. President Kern ruing Home. WASHINGTON.
