RUINS OF OLD MACHINERY HALL ROOF WHICH COLLAPSED, KILLING ONE AND INJURING THREE While cross shows wherjt, workman was killed. _ EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY MAN PROVE FUTILE. Efforts on the part of the police to Identify the man who was killed in Hackensack have been futile. Mrs. Patrick Hedigan, of 310 La fayette street, declared today that she ■would not go to the morgue in Hack ensack, as the victim was not a rela tive. A strange feature of the story is the fact that a prayer-book contain ing the name of Mrs. Hedigan and her former address, 220 Elm street, was found in the pocket of the victim who met his death yesterday. The police of Hackensack notified Chief Astley last night, as the telephone operator con nected the head of the fire department Instead of Chief Corbitt. Chief Astley then notified the police.

HORTON, W ..—i—■——■> *■' DALRYMPLE AGAIN HEADS A 0. P. AS Choice of Essex Committee Made Unanimous After First Ballot. As predicted in the STAR, Alfred N. Dalrymple was last night declared the unanimous choice of his party for chairman of the county committee for a fourth term. His vote was 165 and that of Lathrop Anderson 37 on the first ballot taken. Before the result of the vote was an nounced Progressives literally fell over one another with motions to make the election of Dalrymple unanimous. I Jlason Young, of Millbum, who had i seconded the nomination of Anderson, was first on his feet with the motion for unanimity. He said that he knew when he saw a licking coming and made a short speech, the tenor of which was that all hands should get in out of the wet. Starr J. Murphy, of Montclair, another Progressive, Jumped up to sec ond that motion, and other Progres sives all around the hall Joined In the Christmas chorus of harmony and peace. Progressives Seek Harmony. That there was going to be some thing doing in the harmony line was indicated while the vote was being taken, when E. W. Aldridge, of Moni ciair, cast a ballot for the reelection of Dalrymple. "I do so," he said, "representing a strong Progressive dis trict, in the hope that in future we may get together on a common basis so that we may have a united party." It Is said that some of the Progres J sive committeemen advised against j placing a candidate in the field against Dalrymple. Before harr-ony suddenly blossomed over the meeting there were signs that the session might end with strained relations. Assemblyman Thomas F. I Goldlngay had placed Mr. Dalrymple in nomination. Then Charles J. Me- j Arthur, of the Eighth Ward, put for- i ward the name of Mr. Anderson. After j eulogizing his nominee, he said: "No one will deny that our party was handed a severe walloping at the last i election. There is a reason, and the ! question for us to decide tonight is: l ‘Can we come back?’ Under the pre | vailing conditions it is very doubtful. "The men at present in control of I our party have probably been sincere and worked very hard. In fact, there is a lurking suspicion they have worked : j too hard. Proposed a Vacation. "The only remedy for overwork is ' rest, relaxation or a change of vocation. Wouldn’t it be a good thing for these men and tho party In general If they were given a much-needed rest, a change of vocation or a change of I climate?" About this stage the audience got j restive and Chairman Fielding began to llose patience. “Sit down,” “You're out,’’ | "You voted for Wilson,” were dome of 1 the expressions shied at the speaker. The chairman called him to order and .told him to stick to tho point. Mr. McArthur dealt a few left-handed compliments to the Democratic party and concluded with an appeal to the committee to help reconstruct an "ossi ed dnd misgoverned party" by making Mr. Anderson county leader. Mr. Young’s seer" ling speech was a straightaway appeal for harmony, which he thought could best be ic omplished by electing Anderson. When the secretary began to call the roll it was Dalrymple all the way through till the name of Carl Lentz was read. There was a vast silence. The major wasn’t there. A delegate in the jack of the room tried an Imitation of the imperial voice of the old leader . and shouted "Dalry’""ie.” Everybody laughed and the roll-call continued. As the only Republican elected last month County Register Thomas P. A1 worth was picked by the crowd as a subject for some healthy cheers. All the other old officers were re elected as follows: Vice-chairman, William A. Lord, Orange; treasurer, Henry M. Doremus; corresponding sec retary, John R. Flavell; secretary, Dan iel F. Gaven; sergeant-at-arms, John F. Francis. LABORER FREEZES TO DEATH. BORDENTOWN.

Two celebrations attracted interested audiences last night. One was that of the Central Damen Verein, in the Colos seum, and the other that of the Ger man-American Academy, in Coes place. The verein celebrated primarily for sweet charity’s sake and made a hun dred poor homes happy. A big com mittee, headed by Mrs. Anna Buhl, the president of the society, had ar ranged a fine program, and at its close there was a generous distribution of food and clothing. Mrs. Emily Dorn hoefer, of New York, made an address on the true significance of the season’s celebration, and the choir of St. Paul's German Lutheran Church, in Bergen street, sang several carols. At the school celebration the children sang and played through a long program prepared by Carl Schmidt, their prin cipal, and were enthusiastically ap plauded by the parents.

COMMITTEE WILL SIFT MATHIS CLAIM Senator Still Cherishes Hope, Despite Decision Declaring Recount Fraudulent. Acting upon the request of Senator Thomas A. Mathis, of Ocean county, the executive committee of the State Republican Committee, at a meAing held In this city yesterday, determined to make a thorough inquiry Into the latter’s claim that lie was actually elected on November 8 last, notwith standing the opinion of Supreme Court Justice Voorhees to the contrary. The court, because of the palpable evidence of fraud disclosed In the aec ond Lakewood district recount, refused to revoke the certificate Issued to Sena tor-elect George C. Low by the county board of canvassers. Senator Mathis and his counsel hold, notwithstanding the court's opinion g that he was elected and counteJ' by error or otherwise of the district election board. In support of that argument Senator Mathis submitted a copy of the state ment showing his side of the catsc, which the Republican senators-elect re fused to consider at their caucus last Tuesday. That statement was pub lished in the STAR on Wednesday. After the meeting adjourned Senator Frank O. Briggs said that if the Inves tigation should show to his satisfaction that Mathis was not legally elected the matter should be dropped immediately, but that If the investigation would prove that through Injustice or other reasons Mathis has been denied the place he Is entitled to everything should be done by the State committee to have him declared elected. Gave His Reasons to Committee. It was stated that Mathis himaelf is responsible for the interest the ex ecutive committee Is taking in his ca««.

Low, the Democratic candidate, has already re ceived his credentials.
