TWO DFTEOTIVE8 WERK SDAIN. Ambushed by Striking Railroad Men, Pitched Ikittlo Ensued. Hackonsnck, N. J., Dec. 12. Seven hundred striking New York, Susquehanna and other eastern rail road employees, ambushed under tho palisades overlooking tlie lower Hud son river, opened fire with shotguns mid rides on a boat load of strike breakers landing at coal docks lu Edgewater, and in a pitched battlo which ensued two railroad detectives i were kl'.led find a dozen other men ?wore wounded A telegram requesting that tho Stato militia be called to quell tho disorder was sent to the Acting Gov ernor of New Jersey by General Su perintendent Stone, of tho Erie rail road. Mr. Stone escaped a storm of bullets fired by strikers as ho was seeking shelter in a building. The men, hiding behind rocky cliffs and trees, waited until a scow had discharged its cargo of men brought to take the strikers' places. A volley of blank cartridges did not frighten the strikebreakers, who pushed for ward toward thc railroad tracks on the coal wharf. The men in ambush then left their "'aces of concealment, and, firing real ? diets, attempted to swarm out upon . o dock wharf. They were met at ' e gates by the private detectives, larmed except for clubs, who en gaged in a hand-to-hand struggle. A fusilado of shots brushed tho officers aside and they fled for safety, except tho mortally wounded, Graw and Mal lory. The strikebreakers, under a fire of bullets, Hod along the shore of the Hudson and concealed themselves tn tho woods in the palisades. Three hundred employees (for eigners) of the Susquehanna, which the Erie railroad controls, quit work . Monday, demanding a wage increase ' of five cents an hour, but officials of the railroad would not grant the in crease. There was a clash yesterday between strikers and detectives, and one of the latter was slightly wound ed by a gunshot. Mayor Ciaban, of Edgewater, took personal charge of the situation, i. iding a force of half a hundred il< )uty sheriffs, he visited the coal i o iks, prepared to give battlo If the Milkers made trouble. A search of the woods was made, but no one car rying arms was found. The identity of some of the men who dlr! tb" phooMrip: ! i 1 ru ;.,r<;?!- fe? xh<' 'million fie.? , \tt?.l !h<.'

Gibbons, superintendent of the United States Naval Academy at An napolis, Md., has recommended tho dismissal of four eadets, among them W. H. Saunders, of Sumter, S.

The midshipmen whose dismissal is recommended declare that they were doing nothing In the nature of haz ing, but were reasoning with Jones with regard to certain alleged mis conduct. Tho Secretary of the Navy bas not yet taken action on the case, but the chances seem to be against Saunders and the other three eadets, who undertook to disciplino Jones, as they have all had trouble at the academy before this.

LIVING WITNESS SWORN DEAD. Declares Husband Nut Alive, and He Marclies Into Court Room. Now York, Dec. 12.-The $25,000 breach of promise suit brought by Mrs. Helen Cauley, a trained nurse, against David Sherard, came to an I abrupt end yesterday, when Andrew I J. Cauley, husband of the woman, suddenly appeared in court. Mrs. Cauley had testified hor husband died nine years ago in a Pennsylvania town. Half an hour later she was on her way to tho Tombs, where she was locked up in default of $5,000 ball, charged with perjury'. Ot those who witnessed the sud den turu in affairs nono appeared more surprised than her husband, who had been called into court with out knowing the nature of the action In which he was to teystlfy. It devel oped that he didn't know his wife was bringing a breach of promise ac tion Ho w?*c pent to th? House of Detention ft? a Material witness, j Nirs. Cauley, ft demure little vyo ; Ina ii i dressed ?h brown and vearlnr, ... Quakerish bennet, seemed to have difficulty In raising her voice above a whisper, especially when telling of her alleged relations with Sherard. About ono thing, though, there was no hesitation. That was when lt came to telling about her "dead" ! husband. She testified they had been married in 1902, while lie was employed in the mines at Scranton, j As to just what position he occupied j she was a little uncertain. Then with a plaintive note she turned to tho jury. "Ho was killed in a railroad acci dent near Pittsburgh in December, 1910, and was binded in our home town of Greensboro," sho testified. "I attended tho funeral and paid Hie undertaker's bill. I don't remember Hie name of tho undertaker, but I think it was Doran." She had no sooner stepped down from Hie stand than a short, smooth shaven man came Into tho room, fol lowed by two men from Mr. Whit man's office. _ "Take the stand," said C. K. Mc Guire, attorney for Sherard. "What is your name?" "Andrew J, Cauley." "Do you seo your wife in this court room?" "I do; there she ls, right over there," lie testified. "When did you seo your wife last?" was tho next question. "Why, this morning. We have boon living together over since we were married, ten years ago."

E vtrytvharn L COMPANY Nsw J.r..,) BaWmw.MJ, UNCLE SAM'S WIRELESS GAME. Takes Charge of "Radiography" Next Friday-Licensed Operators. Washington, Dec. 8.-An exten sive Bystem of government supervis ion over wireless telegraphy will be come effective next Friday, four months from the date of the enact ment of the law. Plans have been made to carry out the new system, both as to the shore stations and steamships end the army and navy stations. Government licenso hareafter will be required for all shore stations and for steamers leaving American ports. These licenses are being prepared, based upon inspection by government experts. Thero are several hundred shore stations along the Atlantic and Pacific coastB, tho Gulf and tho Great Lakes and Puerto Rico. The num ber of steamships required to carry wireless apparatus under the new law is estimated at 1,000. Every steamer with a carrying ca pacity of 50 passengers on trips ex ceeding 200 miles is required to have two operators for its wireless equip ment, in order to provide continuous watchfulness for signals of distress. Safeguards for quick communication between the bridge of steamers and the wireless operating room aro pro vided. If accident to tho ship should de range the current for tho aerial tele graph, provision is mado for auxili ary machinery to continue the wire less In operation. The government plans, about to bo put In force, com bine the act of August 13 last, and various preceding acts, together with regulations Issued by the department of commerce and labor governing ninny details of radio communica tion. The country has been divided into nine districts, to carry out the super vision, the divisional headquarters being located at Now York, Balti more, Savannah, New Orleans, San Francisco, Seattle, Cleveland and Chicago. The government inspectors are re quired to visit the shore stations and ships to report on the equipment and efficiency of instruments. These re ports were to ,be made the basis of licenses issued by the government. No station or ship will bo permitted to operate to wireless plants without such license. Wireless operators also must be licensed. A new law was framed shortly af ter tho Titanic disaster, and one of its provisions gives a right of way for distress signals as follows: "All stations are required to give adequate signals and radiograms re lating to ships in distress; to cease all Bending on hearing distress sig nals; and except when engaged In answering or aiding tho ship in dis tress, to refrain from scuding until all signals relating to tho distress call are completed."

Mr. Pickett assisted in the organi zation of the "Farmers' Club" at Poplar Springs several years ago, was a charter member of the Farmers' Alliance, organized about tho year 18110, and was also a charter mem ber of the Union and served as an officer during bis connection Avlth tho organization, or until the time of his death. His efficiency in the capacity of ofllcer won for him the confidence of his fellow-members, who generally delegated him to rep resent them in State Farmers' Con ventions, where, on account of his experience and extensive information along agricultural lines, be was gen erally recognized as authority in matters in connection with tho in terests of the organization. Brother Pickett was steadfast, but honest and conscientious In his con victions, never aggressive, yet never hesitating when remonstrance was necessary. Ho was always ready to lend a helping hand when occasion demanded. We, therefore, as a committee, do commend his lifo of activo useful ness to the surviving members of tho Union, who, with ourselves, exceed ingly deplore the loss of so Influen tial and highly esteemed brother. We recommend that a copy of this acknowledgment of our appreciation of Brother Pickett bo Incorporated lin the minutes of our Union, and that a copy be furnished the family of the deceased, and also recommend that county papers copy.

WUfaxr B_k BU?. TAPE WORMS GIVEN IN PILLS. Doctor Accused of Afflicting Women to Cure Obesity. A dispatch from Peoria, 111., says: One of Peorlu's leading society wo men, whose greatest dread is getting fat, congratulated a friend, whose weight had suddenly decreased about 40 pounds, and asked If she attrib uted her reduction of avoirdupois to Turkish baths. "Why, no," responded her friend; "I have been taking treatment of Dr. -, and tho pills he gave me are responsible for this happy result." The society woman accompanied her friend to the doctor's office, and paid $25 for two rather large and suspicious-looking pills, guaranteed to reduce her weight 50 pounds within six months. She decided, however, to consult her husband be fore taking tho capsules. The husband sent the pills to Washington to be analyzed by tho public health service. In a few da,s a government secret official called upon him and informed him that each pill contained the head and first link of the body of a tape worm and .sufficient nourishment to maintain life for probably a week, and that the secret of the weight-reductions accomplished lay wholly In tho suc cessful introduction of the creatures into the stomachs of the.patten ts and the consequent debilitating effects.
