District Attornoy Issues Warn
ing to Those Contemplating
Trickery at Polls
INTIMIDATION IS A CRIME
Dtetrlrt Attorney Ttotnn hn.i repeated
his warning, given before prunnr.v rice
Hon, against violation of the election
laws for tomorrow.
Tti n statement lie calls attention to
various features of the law anil espe
cially warns aliens not. to attempt
to vote, reminding them of the inves
tigation he is now making Into eligi
bility of those who were prompted from
the draft and who voted at the pri
mary. IIo also warns against Interference
or intimidation of voters, and against
policemen coining within fifty feet of
nn election place unless to mnke an
arrest or to preserve order.
Kntan'.s Warning
Tlis statement follows:
"The approaching general election
prompts me to renew the statement
which I made liefore primary election
respecting the rights of citizens In the
exercise of the franchise anil the rights
and duties of election officers, city em
ployes, policemen and other persons
having to do with election.
All election nflioers nre privileged
from arrest while performing their du
ties on election day, except on wan ant
Issued by a judge of n court of record,
and no election officer can be arrested
on election dny on a warrant issued
by a magistrate.
"A police officer, whether In uniform
or otherwise, has no right to lie In or
about any polling place, or within fifty
feet thereof, either during the count
ing and preparation of the return, ex
cept to make an arrest or to preserve
order,
lntlnild.il Ion a Crime
"It is a crime for any one to as
sault or intimidate any voter during the
holding of an election, or to attempt
to influence or overawe a voter, or lo
prevent him from voting.
"It is the duty of every magistrate
or police official, having in custody any
one charged with crime, to furnish the
nocuscd or his counsel, free of chnrge,
with a copy of the chnrge so that bail
may be catered for the accused.
"No voter can bo assisted in mark
ing his ballot unless he declnres to the'
judge of the election that he has a
disability and by reason thereof needs
assistance in marking his ballot.
"A voter is guilty of a crime who
falsely declares that he lias disability
and therefore needs assistance. He is
likewise guilty of a crime if he allows
his ballot to bo seen by another person
with the intention of letting it be known
how he is about to vote."
"Aliens have no right to vote, and if
nny foreign-born person, unnaturalized,
attempts to vote, lie will he prosecuted.
I n in investigating charges that a
largo number of persons who claimed
exception under the draft law as aliens
have registered and will attempt to
vote at the general election without
having since been naturalized, and I
especially warn all aliens who attempt
to vote without being naturalized that
they will be vigorously prosecuted.
"The district attorney's office will be
open on election day for the purpose
of protecting citizens in their legal
rights, and I will be ready to secure
prompt writs of habeas corpus in cases
of illegal arrests.
"I call upon the law-abiding citizens,
in case they see nets of intimidation,
thuggery and other violation of the
law, to obtain the names and addresses
of tho law-breakers and the names and
addresses of any witnesses who may be
present and to promptly report to me
so that the arrests may be prompt and
the prosecution and punishment swift
and certain. To this end I pledge the
power ol my on ice.
N. Y. FIRM ABSOLVED

'Sew York, Nov. II. Julius Forst

Hoffman Co., who were accused of br
ing: Involved in flerninny'H "wool plot''
exposed by the State Department's dis
covery early in 1918 of tlm "linns Smith
letters" to the imperial government,
have been declared innocent of all blame.
In a letter to their counsel, made pub
lic last night, Merton K. Lewis, for
merly state attorney general reversed

The Forstmann & Hoffman Co. was
mentioned among other persons nnd
firms in the Smith correspondence deal
ing with n plot to buy large amounts
of wool here for war shipment to Ger
many. Alfred Ij. Pecker, then deputy
attorney general, reported that in his
opinion Julius Forstmann was involved
In the "wool plot."
Mr. Lewis's letter declared that "anv
public officer may inuke a mistake in
war times when quick action is required
but where it appears that an innocent
man hns suffered with the guilty, 1
feel it my duty to my so and express
my regret."

EMPLOYES OF CITY
Will Now Mayor "Clonn Houso"?
Question Worrying "Littlo
Fellows" on Payroll
OWE JOBS TO VARE LEADERS
"On edge" best describes the feelings
of several thousand city employes who
nre spending their time wondering where
they get off with the ndvent of a new
administration.
Will the new Mayor "clean house"
wholly or In part, or will he recognize
years of service as an indication of
ability and faithfulness? This nnd
other questions of a similar nature are
hourly being asked by the little fellows
in the public building.
On the eve of the election many cltv
emplojes face the declaration of Con
gressman Moore that die expects lo,al!

Home cilj employes, if ordered to cut
the ticket lomorrow, may bolt with a
view to proving their loyalty to the new
regime anil in the hope of retaining their
bread and butter. Others will "take u
chance," no matter what orders reach
them.
Aside from tho possibility nf disloy
alty, the average worker who has been
m city politics for many years believes
in the honesty and fairness of Con
gressman Moore. As nn old-timer
put it today, "llampy knows the game.
He's n good fellow, and 1 don't be
lieve he will go lifter us, little fel

declarations have been to the effect
that reprisals would follow dislovnlty,
hut his statement is believed to lie di
rected toward lli- big leaders nnd not
directly ut the ordinary worker in the
city service.
I.onlt for Nn Onrral Cleanup.
I'.aeli four years new alliances nre
made in City Hall and changes of sonic
powers result. The situation this year.
uowever, is iiitn-ii more involved nan
oruinnrny. ami rnr that reason most
persons on the city payroll are a bit
anxious as to the outcome or the bal
loting of their particular districts to
morrow. That Congressman Moore plans no
general cleanup i.s generally believed,
and the men who have faithfully served
the city, even though appointed through
the power of the Vnres, believe thev
have little to fear nt the hands of the
new Mayor.
The forty-odd clerks of Councils arc
in a peculiar position, in thnt their re
lention or dismissal depends entirely
upon tun new organization of Coun
cil, as it is believed that many of the
positions will be found unnecessary
under a Council of twenty-one mem
bers. As the sheriff's office, now in full
control of the Vares, is not under civil
service, most of the employes of this
department expect the "gnte." They
are busy looking for new berths else
where, cither in or out of the city

They say the thief must be an ac

be an art collector, because he ignored
jewels of great worth in nearby .show

It had been planned to run to Pauls -boro,

closed for repairs and u detour had lo
be made mor the Salem pike.
One Irehme,er. the driver. lot his

streel, who had been sitting in the
middle of the trink. volunteered to get
out and ask for direction".
Sauter found some nne who told him
tlm route lo be followed. Instead ol
clambering back to his seat. Sauter
stood on the running board of the truck
to direct the drhcr. Four other Muing
men were riding on the running board.
As the heavy truck rumbled and
lurched over the wet roadway it drew
near tlm railroad crossing nt Clarks
horo. The single-track Hue there is the
Salem branch of the West Jersey und
Seashore Jfailroad.
".My iod! Watch Out for the Train" j
The pike crosses the railroad diago-
naily. v cbcr. with his aceonleon, wii-i
entertaining the merrymakers as the!
truck iiiuiroaeheil tho truck.
The hilarity was stopped suddenly by
a frightened cry from one of the men
on tho running board.
"Watch the trainl My (iod. watch
nut for the. train!" he called. The
front wheels of the truck had humped
over the rail as the live men on the side
jumped nnd panic gripped those within.
A medley of cries and moans reached
the cars of the engineer as he franti
cally worked at his throttle and brake
levers.
Passengers Heard Crash
Passengers in the two coaches which
comprised the train heard the crush
of the collusion. There i.s n bridge
jus bej und the Clarkboro crossing,
and the conductor at first thought the
train had gone through the bridge.
When the train crew and passengers
rnn to the front the locomotive head
light revealed the ghastly tragedy. At
least seven of the masipieraders had
been killed outright. Modie.s were
jammed in n heap and crushed limbs
trailed over the edge of the wrecked
machine.
Four of the iiiasnueruders had been
hurled to the ground by the impact,
they lay huddled in their motley gar
ments near the track.
When the extent of the tragedy was
realized men und women passengers
devoted themselves to the injured. The
deajl were extricated from the wreck
age and laid in a line along the road-
Women Isc Skirts as liandages
Women ripped up their skirts and
petticoats for bandages, twisted tourni
quets about bleeding limbs nnd ran for
water at nearby houses.
Telephone calls were sent for auto
mobiles and for physicians. The crash
occurred nt 11:1,'! o'clock nnd twenij -live
minutes later doctors began arriv
ing from Clarksboro and nearby towns.
Word was sent to Camden and a spe
cial train was made up there and dis
patched to Clarksboro. Klcven of the
injured were placed on the special train,
but two died on the run to the Cooper
Hospital in Camden.
Others of the injured were taken
to the private hospital of Dr. .1. (!.
Harris I nderwnod. at Woodbury.

In pitiful contrast, the wigs and

The bill proposing continuation of fed
eral control over spgar during 1!K!0.

placed nn the culendar with a view to
ciirjy action.
In a majority report, Senator Mo
Nary, Hepublicau. of Oregon, author of
the bill nnd chairman of th(v Senate
agriculture subcommittee which investi
gated tho sugar shortage, declared "a
seriojis situation will ensue" if the
sugar equalization hoard's control be
discontinued.
Minority views, presented by Sen
ator Uaiisdell, Democrat, of Louisiana,
expressed agreement in tho plan to con
tinue the equalization hoard, with au
thority for its purchase of Cuban
sugar, but opposed giving the board
power to buy and sell the domestic
product as an unwarranted interfer
ence with natural economic laws nnd ns
likely to. unduly depress prices of Loui
siana and other domestic sugar. v
Senator McNnry's report suggested
that present conditions were largely
psycholigical, due to fears of future
shortages.
Data In Hie hunds'of the committee,
tho report stated, showed that about
7!(I,(HH tons of Cuban nnd domestic
sugar was available for' distribu

fully calls your attention to nn article
by Admiral William Snnwden Sims,
which embodies an open Insult to mil

letter. "The article charges these lnval
Americans with allying themselves with
a cause which was openly hostile to
America in the great war. Thai Ad

republican movement, was not onlv
'openly disloyal' but, 'openly pro-CScr-

The Irish nntioniil bnrenii wishes
to enter an omphalic protest against
nn officer of the United States navy
making use nt his nnrae nnd official
position to give credence and dignity
to oft-repented statements which nre
either wholly false or bald misinter

become part of a blltcr campaign of

necome a serious affront In a vrv con
siderable proportion of the people of

only justice, to tho people of Ireland,
nnd which will free millions of Ameri

giving moral and fmniioi.il support lo
Americas enemies: and that Admiral
Sims be told thnt he needlessly leaves
the paths of the historian to say un
kind woribi of n peoole who supplied to
the American navy some nf its hest of
ficers and men: and finally that, by at
tacking those of Irish blood in Ireland
and In America, he is 'ending encour
