IRON STILL ON THE
DRAW FOUNDATION.
MasOnWOrk has WithstOOd the Wea.
Their During Several
Storms

The $50 tons of pig iron are still on
the foundation of the new Raritan
river bridge. The contractor will not
the iron for a few days yet.
When a man, who has watched the
progress of the bridge since the day 1t
was commenced, was asked what he
thought of the test he said:
"There is no question but what the
foundation for the draw is all that it
should be for the pig iron has been on
for a few weeks through all the storms
and bad weather, and the foundation
has not settled a bit. The pig iron
itself is as heavy as the draw will be
and there is little to be feared in re-
CARDS to the weight now"

WOULD CALL
CONVENTION.
Governor Murphy FavOrs a Re-
vision of the Whole State
Constitution.
PRESENT ONE TOO OLD.

Governor Franklin Murphy has ex-
pressed himself emphatioally in favor
of calling together a constitutional
convention to revise the constitution
of the state in every particular in
which it has outgrown the conditions
and methods in vogue at the time of
it's adoption.
The governor said the constitution
of New Jersey today suited the CON
d. ions of sixty years ago, when it
was drawn, but these conditions have
so altered that it's amendment is badly
needed. The judiciary was partic-
ularly referred to by the governor as a
portion of the instrument in which it
fails to come up to present require
ments.
Governor Murphy expressed himself
in favor of the election of state SEN
ators on the basis of population, and
of assemblymen from assembly dis
tricts.

CAMP YOUNG, West Point, Ky,
Oct. Sat the last moment the ele-
ments again caused the -postponement
of the division review, the n dress
parade feature of the maneuvers for
combined regulars and militia. A VIC
lent wind and rain storm which came

sea of mud so deep as to render it i'm
possible for the commands to have
maintained presentable alignments
even had the storm abated.

the governors of Kentucky and Indi-
ana. Governor Durbin has been in

GOVERNOR AT
JAMESBURG.
Is Inspecting the State Reform
School Today Several Sen
atOrS there Also.
ALL eyed.

Trenton, Oct. S:-Governor Murph
is attending a meeting of the man
ayers of the Jamesburg Reformatory
today.
Recent stringent rules have been
provided for the government of the
working force at the Institution and
no doubt it is the idea of the Govern
or and other State officials to see how
the instructions are being observed.
Senator E. @. Hutchinson is to meet
the executive at Jamesburg. He said
yesterday, however, that he was not
aware of the purpose of the meeting
to which he had received an invita-
ton. 1t is understood that other
members of the Senate Will also be in
attendance. IT was admitted by
Senator Hutchinson that there had
been some trouble at the institution
recently and that it was necessary to
inform the guards that they must not
enter saloons while of duty, under
penalty of instant dismissal. Such
attractions are said to have been of
frequent occurrence until the Govern
or called n halt on-.the proceedings.
Authoritative reports have it that a
detective in the guise of an assistant
coachman, was employed for a time,
in observing the general conduct of
the under officers at the ~reformatory,
and that he afterwards disclosed some
rather deplorable conditit rs to the
Governor and others ins<authority.
Then it was that the executive inter
fered.
Most of the drinking in uniform is
said to have been done while the
guards were hunting the runaway
boys, of whom there are said to have
been a surprisingly large number, just
prior to the appearance and departure
of the detective. Whether there have
been so many since, is probably n
of the things the Governor wishes to
inquire into today.

OF
THE SESSION.
The Extra Session of the Legis-
, lature Topic of Convention
at Trenton.
ONE OBJECT.

The extra session of the lawmakers
is one of the principal topics discussed
at Trenton. 1t was the idea of Presi-
dent E. 9. Hutchinson of the Senate
that no other business, than the new
school law, be allowed to come before
the body and that the matter be dis
posed of in a couple of days.
He said if the members get together
next Thursday and hold their caucus
then it would be easily possible to
adjourn until the following day, or
Saturday, or even Monday, and clear
up the whole situation then.
Others were of the opinion, how
ever, that the cause of the failure of
the last Legislature to appropriate
money for the State Home for Con-
sumptives and for the State School
improvement, as provided In bills,
passed by both houses, ought to be
righted and thought there would be
an insistment that these things be
taken uD.
The Governor said he did not know,
yet, just what would be done, but
like Senator Hutchinson, favored CON
fning the session to the single pur-
pose for which the members have been
called. Senators Wakelee and Miller
were with the Governor, a few min
utes, as were also some members of
the Lower House.

tween Interested Parties was Soon to
be Held and Wanted the Board of Free
holders Representatives. Matters
Taken MP.

New Brunswick, Oct. 8:-Director
Fountain, at the meeting of the Board
of Freeholders Yesterday, reported
that the contractors who are building
the approach to the neweAmboy bridge
on the South Amboy side have dis
covered that on account of the condi-
tion of the land at the river edge a
bulkhead must be built. The speci-
hcations for it show that it will be 5
feet high at the edge of the river, 90
feet wide, and will extend back 1,15S
feet. The front of the bulkhead will
be of hemlock piling. The county
must pay the cost of this work, as
Road Commissioner Budd has stated
that it is not a part of the road for
which the State is to pay. 1t was
ordered that the bids for the work
shall be received at the meeting to be
held two weeks from yesterday.
Freebooter Haney, of Perth Amboy,
called attention to the bridge which
it has been suggested will be built
from the Staten Island shore to the
Jersey shore zeal Perth Amboy. He
said that the President of the Borough
of Manhattan, the President of the
Borough of Richmond County, Totem
vills, the Aldermen of Perth Amboy
and the Chamber of Commerce of that
place, were to have a conference on
the subject and it Was desired that
Middlesex County are represented at
the gathering. He therefore asked
that the director appoint a committee
Ito attend the meeting. He said that
he thought the members appointed
would serve without pay. The bridge
will, purse, be Ma for by two
H1new-Jerss5Ven New York.
DILe motion made by Mr.. Haney
WAS carried and the committee ap-
pointed by Director Fountain was:
Messrs. Haney, Glenn, Johansen,
Dunnigan, Welsh, DeHart and the
director will act with it.
Bids for repainting the ironwork of
the Landing bridge were received at
II O'Clock as follows
Nicholas Thrill. $3.50
Sawyard o. Talmadge............... 449
These bids were referred to the
Landing Bridge Committee. One
other bid was opened, but not read,
as the bidder failed to present either
a certified check for the required
amount, or it's equivalent in cash.
Mr.. Talmadge's bid was accompanied
by 5000 in cash.
Later the committee recommended
that the contract be given to Mr.. Tai
madge, and the recommendation was
adopted. He will begin the work i'm
m~ediately. Harry V. Oliver is super
intendent for Contractor Talmadge.
A resolution was offered directing
the County Buildings Committee to

HOW TO MAKE THIS PRETTY
SUIT FOR A SMALL BOY.

49,
This is a suit for a small boy that
no one, no matter how inexperienced
they are in the art of sewing, need be
afraid to attempt. There is no pat
tern required.
1t is simply a piece of oblong mater
iaI-old blue linen or Galatea makes
a pretty suit-folded in two; a round
is cut for the neck and a slit cut down
the front. A space is left for the arm
holes, then the seams are sewed up,
sewing from star to star, as in the
illustration.
The sleeves are tucked at the wrist
to give fullness. There is a plain
stitched cuff and Elton collar. Eyelet
holes are worked down the front,
through which the white LAGER is put.
a small rounded pocket is stitched on
the left side.
This smock is worn over bloomers,
and belted with a black patent leather
belt. This suit has a great deal OF
and is something very new in
design.

HARD TO CHOOSE
THE WINNER

Although boxing bouts are frequently
advertised as ten, twelve or fifteen
round goes, as the case may be, the
general public seldom expects to see the
limit reached although after the first
five rounds. every fresh round counts
greatly in value for money paid
In the case of Barry and weday, to
meet New Years night for a fifteen
round contest at the Orpheum, it seems
almost a certainty that the bout will
last almost, if not, to the actual limit.
Both men are strong and in splendid
training and both are capable of re-
ceiving punishment that would send an
ordinary man to sleep. The event is
probably the most evenly matched af-
fair ever brought off in Honolulu and
it will take clever man to pick the
winner at this date.

gram OF preliminaries and has else

which could be made ridiculous were
