Too 3Iany Invitations .to. Drink Forced
; ; His Honor to Kesigrn,
Wrecked on. the rock of rum, the
town administration of Dunellen, N. J.,
went to smash when Mayor William A.
Sandford ; announced , his retirement
from office on the ground that his JJm
ited capacity was unable to cope with
the invitations to drink that have been
hurled; at I him from all sides. Few
statesmen, have been confronted with
such a. serious problem but be it said
to his. honor's credit he did not flinch
in the , face of - duty. Finding " that
drinking interf erred, with his official
career, he has decided to retire to pri
vate life. . . . . , , ' :.
; "I'm through with the job," said Mr.'
Sandford,' more In sorrow than in an
ger.' "A : man can't be mayor of this
town anJ besober. I've tried It; for
nearly: a year and I know. , It statred
on New Year's day when I was inau
gurated. I can't go down , the "street
without " hearing, 'Mayor's let's go
have a -little drink,' from all sides. If
I didn't accept I'd lose votes. and
well, I have not lost a friend that I
know of. But now I m done.- There
are too many, 'rummies in this town.
I'm 1 going to move to vWestfield. I
wish my successor good luck and a
good thirst. : ; r
-When the 2,000 residents of the
place learned what his honor had said
they started out to make him prove h;s
statements The men of the tcrwn de
termined to find out if they wen on
his stager list. Not finding him in the
first saloon, they tried the other, there
being only two coaling stations in the
town, but they failed to locate him. -
Others who did not spare Mayer
Sandford, were John Henry Lawrence
Peters village barber and town asses
sor; . Henry .Garreston, the village
postmaster, and John F. Pener, the
leading hardware merchant of the'
place. , ,
Mr. Peters, planing mill, opposite
the railroad station, is the place where
most of the weighty questions are dis
cussed, and ten minutes after Mr.
Sandford's statement reached the pub
lic and indignation meeting was in
full blast. In their excitement soma
of the participants permitted Mr. Pe
ters to shave them three or four times.
"Called us rummies eh?" -repeated
Mr. Peters, as he swung the brush
against Mr. Penner's face. "He's got
a fine nerve. And w wouldn't mind,
but he's been the 'bummest mayor
we-ve ever had, and when it comes to
'bum mayors, Dunellen has had a few.
Him. above all men, calling us rum
mies," he resumed. "I never allow
him to go in the room where I keep
the turnpentine." 1
"I'm sorry in one way," sobbed Mr.
Garretson. "He's the first Republican
mayor we've had in years, and in a
way his .conduct reflects .upon Presi
dent Taft's administration." t
Mr. Sandford returned to Dunellen,
but denied that he had purposely-delayed
his return until it was dark. He
is a jovial, well-spoken man of 65, or
thereabouts, and, laughted until his
teeth rattled when he heard of the In
dignation his statement had aroused.

Exactly where they were married is

at Henderson or Nprlina, these being
the only two stops between . Raleigh
and the Virginia line. - V ;
Finding his 'daughter had eluded
him, Councilman Selph wired the Ral
eigh chief qf police late last night to
watch out for the couple. He also
asked the Petersburg chief over the
telephone to intercept the couple be
fore they could board the train at that
place after journeying from here to
Petersburg on the trolley line..
Miss Selph was getting school les
sons upstairs last night, when she re
ported to her father and mother that
a burglar had evidently paid the house
a visit. , They rushed upstairs and
found things, badly disarranged. They
also fdund the jewelry of , Mrs. Selph
missing.
In the confusion Miss Selph disap
peared from the house, joining her
lover outside. Meanwhile she had
thrown a bundle of her clothes out of
the rear window and these were quick
ly picked up v The jewelry was loca

DARED JTIAGARA IN 3I0T0R BOAT,

Mile Trip From the Cataract to
Lewiston in 25 Minutes.
Niagara Falls, N. Yt, Oct. 29. Cap-'
tain Klaus Larsen, of Detroit, today
made his second Niagara river trip in
a motor boat from the cataract to Lew
iston. He completed the six mile trip
through the turbulent water in twenty
five minutes, coming through-without
a scratch. Larsen says he is through
with Niagara adventures, but next year
will make a trip across the Atlantic in
his boat the "Niagara." - r "
Larsen started from the Canadian
Maid of the Mist dock, at 1:50 o'clock
and swept under the lower steel arch
bridge five minutes later. ' Coming
into Swift river, where the river
breaks from the calm upper . reach to
the rapids, he veered toward the Ca
nadian side. ' s'. i . -
The boat rode the smaller waves
without a tremor, but, caught by- the
fierce current about midway of the
rapids, she was hurled up and almost
clear of the mountains of water., Once
the craft was side-swiped and almost
keepel over, a comber..' The rapids
trip took hardly more than a minute. -.
As the Niagara .entered the whtl
pool her engine was working perfectly.
Larse nkept . towards . the American
side of the pool but he was caughi.in
a cross-current and was almost drawn
intc .. the vortex. Onyl the hardest
kind'of work with the tiller prevented
trouble. " . . ' - r -.' -
Once clear the whirlpool Larsen
headed the boat up stream r to put
things shipshape for the final test in
the Devil's Hole rapids. ; . - -
He " was badly buffeted in .the" lower
rapids, but managed to hold a course
close to the Canaada side and at 2:14
o'clock passed under the suspenpfon
bridge at Lewistonl ; He had made the
5 miles between . the bridges in 19
minutes. ' " . ..'''. s
Larsen ..made his. first trip through
the rapid on September, 18,", 1910. The
Niagara,, the boat he used, todays is 15
feet long, 5 feet 6 inches beam and 4
feet deep.; The engine is 14-horse
power. About 700 pounds cf sand bal
