RECEIVED NO ANSWER.
Meeting Held Last Might Journey
men Expect Bosses to Reply
Before May |.

The members of Painters, Paper
hangers and Decorators Union, No.
IA, met in Union Hall last night 1t
was expected that some sort of answer
to the demands of the men would be
received from the boss painters. In
this they were disappointed.
The matter did not come up for dis
cussion. At the next meeting of the
bosses, which will be held very soon,
the painters expect committee will
be appointed to notify them whether
or not their demands are granted.
A member of the painters union
said this morning that the union did
not expect any trouble, but if the
bosses did not have their answer ready
by the first of the month, the painters
would simply stop work, which at the
present time, they claim would Grip
pie everything in the building line.
The painters union were the last
laboring organization to occupy Union

SAILED ON THE 18TH;
WAS NEARLY WRECKED.
Crew Of The Fishing Smack F. Becker Ran Into Storm Be-
fore Getting Outside The Hook Were Nearly Strand
ed When Tug Boat Came To The Rescue.

The fishing smack J. F. Becker, in
charge of Captain George Perry and
carrying crew of eleven men, sailed
form New York on the 18th day of the
month bound for fishing cruise down
the coast. The men had their mis-
givings about the date of sailing and
before they had gotten out of the
90 hook" they were in the teeth of one
Of the worst gales they ever exper-
fenced. The hours which followed
were among the worst the crew ever
experienced in their lives, every
moment they expected to be dashed
upon the Jersey sands. Their signals
for assistance was seen by the tug
James Lawrence just in time to save
them from this fate and the smack
was finally towed to this port with
the crew thoroughly exhausted.
According to the story of one of the
crew the vessel had started out from
New York Monday on her first fishing
trip south this season. She ran into
the storm when in the lower bay and

MANY MOTIONS IN COURT.
No Cases Tried But Several Hot Arguments
Took Place.

There were ten cases on the calen-
dar of the District Court this morn
ing but none were tried. There was
no lack of business, however, as there
was motion after motion made and
hot arguments on each. They were
mostly over the State Board of Health
cases.
After all the fuss and fight the
attorney for the state succeeded in
obtaining a discontinuance of one
case, that against David Encherman,
and an order to enter Judgment against
John @. Brown in case tried over a
year ago was made.
An application for discontinuance
on the case, State Board of Health VS.
Andrew Assakowitz for selling impure
milk was made by Judge Coddington,
of Plainfield, the States counsel. He
was opposed by Mr.. Wight, counsel
for defendant, on the ground that the
Court had no power under the law to
grant a new trial on such cases.
Judge Lyon took that view, and re-
fused the application.

The popularity of District Court
Judge Adrian Lyon as a presiding

throughout this section of the State.
Ever since his appointment as judge
of the district court here Judge Lyon
has frequently occupied the bench Of
the largest district courts in New

Elizabeth District Court and may do
so again next Friday. He has also
been requested to occupy the bench in
the First District Court of Newark

The demand for Judge Lyons SER

the busiest district courts in the State

preside there is no small honor. 1t
undoubtedly means that higher honors
await him. w&

It is now believed that John Irving,
whose body was brought to this city
from Newark by Undertaken j. ).
FLYNN yesterday and then taken to his
home at Fords, was murdered. The
motive was robbery. 1t is pointed
out that a few hours before Mr..
Irving's body was found lying be-
tween the east and west bound tracks
on the Pennsylvania railroads elevat-
ed structure at Murray street, New
ark, Monday night, he had been paid
his months salary This amounted
to over $50. Nothing but a ten-cent
piece was found in his clothes. At
the autopsy performed in Newark
Yesterday afternoon it was found that
his skull was fractured and several
ribs broken.
Undertaken Flynn told News re-
porter today that when he arrived III
Newark to take charge of the body
yesterday afternoon, an autopsy was
being performed by the coroner in the
presence of the prosecutors, detectives
and the police. At the conclusion OF
the autopsy it was decided that Irving
was murdered and that he was also
struck by the train. Whether he was

Storm Washes Sand From Ap-
prOaCheS to Central Rail-
road Bridge.
TRACKS WEAKENE ED.
For Fear The Rails Will Spread, More Pre-
caution Than Usual Is Being Taken To-
day-Sand Is Spread Along Beach
Men Begin Repairs To-day And Will
Use Planks.

Trains are running slow over the
drawbridge today. The storm for the
past three days has played havoc with
the sand embankment which has re-
GENTLY been placed along the approach
es to the bridge. When this sand was
being dumped, longshoremen said it
would never last and their predictions
have proven correct. The washout,
however, has made fine sandy beach
in that vicinity.
The tracks on the bridge are some
what out of place and trains run slow
ly for fear of the track spreading.
Extra precaution has been taken all
winter while the bridge was being re-
built, but today more care than ever
is necessary.
One of the foremen, who Is doing
the repair work On the bridge, this
morning, told a reporter that they
would soon have the bridge fixed
again, and this time the company was
going to plank the sand down so that
future storms cannot wash it away.
At the Oheeseborough factory no
damage was done to the new dock be-
yond the severe straining of the piles
which will be fixed again as soon as
the weather permits. The piling. fo1
the new Raritan River bridge with.
stood the storm very well, no damage
of any kind being done there.
At the foot of Madison avenue the
new bulkhead recently put down by
the city was badly injured. The
water washed out all the dirt and sew
eral of the smaller poles, which hold
the bulkhead in place.
The beach from Madison avenue to
the drawbridge is covered with wreck
age washed from the old boats in
Gregory's graveyard.

lay inside the hook all day. The fol-
lowing day it blew harder so that two
anchors were put out to help hold the
vessel.
The wind by this time was blowing
with such force that it was simply
impossible to get under way and, as
the gale increased in force, the vessel
began to drag. The smack tossed like
an egg shell and every minute the
captain expected his craft would be
dashed upon the sandy beach at the
mercy of the waves. Every one Of
the crew was working hard, but their
efforts seemed in vain.
Seeing that nothing could save her
if the vessel continued to drag much
longer, signals for assistance were
displayed and early yesterday morning
the big tug James J. Lawrence came
alongside and towed her into this
port.
AS it was the vessel had to slip all
three anchors. The men say they will
never start cruise on the thirteenth
again.

they were not prepared to state, but
they were inclined to believe the
latter.
In this case it would be possible
that the man boarded freight to go
home and accidently fell under the
wheels. Someone passing along the
tracks after the accident is believed
to have found the body and robbed it.
This theory, however, is offset by
two facts connected with the case.
First, at the spot where the body was
found tramps abound. Secondly,
every possible mark of Identification
was taken, including Mr.. Irving s
switch key and railroad pass.
Undertaken Flynn said that the body
had a narrow escape of receiving a
pauper's burial A brother brakeman,
seeing notice of the finding of the
body in the paper and, knowing that
Irving was not on duty, went to the
morgue and identified it.
Mr.. Irving was thirty five years old
and widow and four small children
survive him. He was member of
Court AmboY, Foresters of America
and of Ira B. Tice Lodge, of Railroad
Trainmen.
The funeral services will be held at
Mr. Irving's late residence at Fords.
Saturday morning at O'Clock.

Santa Fe WaSlsOut.

During the early forenoon of the 23d, the Colorado river washed out a quarter of mile of the Santa Fe main line, between Needles and Beale. The river is higher than it has been in years, and its work of destruction was so complete that for some distance the railroad will have to be relocated far ther back from the encroaching river. Passenger trains Nos. and were delayed at Needles while shoofy was built around the washout. As the Colorado now comes tumbling and roaring under the big steel bridge at Mellen, one can begin to understand how she has been able to do her part in carving out the Grand Canyon.
