Body Discovered in Shallow Min­go Creek Solves Mystery of Her Disappearance

Spec ia l to The Inquirer. PHOENIXVILLE, Pa., July &.—

With .'the finding of her body in the shallow Mingo Creek, near here, the mystery which has surrounded the dis­appearance of Mrs. Oscar' E. Thomsdn, of Schuylkill township, the wife of State Senator Oscar K. Thomson, has been solved. The tragic discovery was made by two Royersford fishermen late last night. It is thought that the woman drowned herself on Wednesday night last following her failure to keep a luncheon appointment in Philadelphia with her husband. On the bank of the little stream, which at this point is but a foot deep, Mrs. Thomson's coat, hat, shoes and bandbag were found.

Mrs. Thomson had been an invalid for a year, suffering from a general nervous breakdown, which at times affected her mind, Of late, however, her condition was thought to be much improved, and at her own request the nurse who had been in constant attendance upon her was dismissed. On Wednesday Mrs. Thonjson unexpectedly made her appear­ance^ in her husband's office in Phila­delphia and told him she was going shopping. She • promised to return in time to accompany him to luncheon. This was the last that the Senator-saw of his wife alive. Worried at her failure to reach home before his arrival here that evening, he enlisted the serv­ices of a detective bureau, but nothing was discovered until late last nijjht, when William Baldwin and William Hays, of Royersford, notified Deputy Coroner F. 0. Bishop, of Royersford, of their iind.

Mrs. Thomson had been quite-^popyler in local social circles. Her husband is serving his second term, and is one of the Kjepublican Party leaders in Chester county. Her husband and a daughter, Mils Freida -Thomson, survive her.

COAL COMPANY AND RAILROAD AT ODDS

/ Special to The In.inuer.

MAUCH CHUNK. Pa., July 31 —The Central Railroad of New Jersey brought suit against the Lehigh Coal and Navi­gation Company for one million dollars. The railroad leases a stretch of line be­tween Easton •and Munch Chunk from the defendant company and contends that it ban been forced to spend $1,000,-000 in remiiring the damage done by freshets along the defendant s property.

This action is but the culmination of differences existing between the Jersey Central Railroad and the Lehigh Coul and Navigation Company. The starting of the trouble was early in this year, when the Jersey Central withdrew. alt its traffic except the passenger trains from the branch between Tamaqua and Munch Chunk. Just what the trouble was could not be learned, but it is sail to have been over mileage rates in. the renewal of the lease.

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com­pany contributes largely to the Jersey Central's freight traffic, nearly three million tons of coal being shipped over its road last year.

Special, to. The Inquirer. TRENTON, N. J., July 81.-Qne of

the noticeable features of the political campaign now dawning in New Jersey is the gradual elimination of thei/'ncw idea" faction from the ranks of tpe Re­publican Party, with nhe consequent brightening of that" party's chances for retaining control of Ihe executive de­partment and increasing its majority in the legislative department of the State government.

Mercer county is the latest to fall in line in this respect. The Bullock Repub­licans, as the followers of the new sur­rogate are often calkd, have agreed with the regulars to support State Sena­tor Harry D. Leavitt for re-election, and it is likely that he will be renominat­ed and returned to the upper branch of the Legislature. With both the Bullock Republicans and the regulars behind him, Senator Leavitt will doubtless be swept into office for another term.

Essex county is now about the only section of the State where the "new idea" men are to be found in any con­siderable number and even there they are decreasing. The decrease has been

tics of their old leader, Senator Everett Colby, who was defeated for re-election by a Democrat. *

This elimination of the "new idea" influence is expected to make it still easier than- before to ;bring about the nomination of State Commissioner of Banking and Insurance Lewis as the Re­publican standard bearer.

In the Democratic camp former Sena­tor Smith, "Bob" Davis and other big leaders are still endeavoring to force the nomination of President Woodrow Wil­son, of' Princeton, but there is a strong sentiment for Frank S. Katzenbach, Jr., of this city, and healthy booms for Sena­tor Silser, of Middlesex county; Mayor Otto Wittpenn, of Jersey City, and sev­eral others.
