ALMOST UNANIMOUS.
Poll of Petit Jury Shows Twenty For Wood Against One For Davis Reverse of Two
 Years Ago.

ls&s
 A poll of the petit jury of the Jackson circuit court shows a preponderance of sentiment for Wood that amounts almost to unanimity. Two years ago, the very reverse of this would prob ably have been true, as the jury is made up almost exclusively of farmers. In the last primary Jackson county gave Davis a plurality of 402.
 One juror had been excused and of the twenty three left, 20 openly announced their intention Eof voting for Wood, and only one for Davis. Two were non-com- initial.
 The grand jury stood 9 for Wood, 5 for Davis, 1 non-com- initial, and l Republican.

THE ROBIN
BILL WILL NOT PASS.
AssembIyman F. C. Henry Decidedly Opposed to it
and Does Not Think Those Favoring il Have
Enough Power to Put the Measure Through
AMENDMENT.
Mr.. fORDYCE'S ALEDCED

Assemblyman T. O. Henry, of this
city, does not think the Hunt bill,
which authorizes the killing of robins,
has chance of being passed by the
Legislature, either with or without
amendments. DR.. Henry, this morn
ing, was shown an article in which
Assemblyman Fordyce, of Middlesex,
was quoted as being in favor of an
amendment which provided that the
farmer, whose cherries are alleged to
have been eaten by robins, go before
a Justice of the peace and make an
affidavit as to the damages he has
suffered. Then he is to go to the near
est game warden, armed with this
affidavit, and secure license to shoot
the offending birds on his own proper
ty. The Assemblyman Objects, it is
said, to the slaughter of robins by
gunners ont for pleasure.
When asked this morning If he had
heard anything of the proposed amend
ment or of Mr.. Fordyce's plan, DR..
Henry said:
"The proposition sounds rather
funny to me, but, whether it be SO or
not, have heard nothing of it. How
ever. do not imagine that such an
amendment will ever be offered as ]
do not think the Hunt bill, to be
shortly introduced, has much chance
of passing. l am deciuedly opposed
to the measure myself, and / do not
think that the number of peo3ro, fol
whose benefit the measure is 4 81 a.. IA
will be sufficient to put it through.
DR.. Henry called attention to re.
cent article concerning an autopsy
performed on large number of robins
and other birds by we'll known
scientist, who found that nearly the
entire number had eaten wild berries
and but an extremely small percentage
had touched cherries. This. gentle
man suggested that the farmers, who
are bothered by the birds, plant these
wild berries in among their trees md
thus protect their cherry crops.

STORM MAY BRING
NECESSARY RELIEF.
Yesterday Raritan Copper Works Were Threatened
Shutdown Which Would Mean the Stepping
Of all Cars Of the Raritan Traction Company
TO CONNECT THE new MAIN NEXT WEEK.

There is brighter outlook for the
water supply today, owing to the rain.
If it would only storm harder and start
genuine thaw it will afford great
relief. The situation is little better
today and the water pressure is better,
but il it should now clear off cold the
city would be in very bad state In
deed.
A large number of the factories
have been notified to use sparingly OF
water and the officials of the Rarltan
Copper Works, from whose power
house the Raritan Traction Company
gets tsie power to operate its cars, has
notifie the company that the water
pressure at the works is very low and
that they must be prepared on short
notice for any emergency. SHUT
down there would mean the stopping
of all cars on the Raritan Traction
Company's line. Were this condition
OF affairs to arise it would be a SER
ious matter for very large number
of people of this city and nearby
towns.
Iu an interview this morning Super
intendent Rock, of the traction COM
pany, said that, while things looked
rather gluln yesterday morning, to-
days raiDfall would clear up much OF
the trouble and probably raise the
pressure for some little time. He
further said that he had been warned
by the Copper Works and would be
prepared to tie up the line for while
lif the works were forced to shut
down.
| At the American Smelling and Re-
fining WORKS the meagre supply is
causing much concern and the Stand
ard Fireproofng Plant, of the Federal
Clay Company, has been shut down
on account of the scarcity of water for
several days. Nearly ali the factories
are in the same condition as regards
the small supply and, unless the PRES
ent storm gives the necessary relief,
serious results are likely to be caused
When Superintendent Burns was
seen about the water supply he said
tnat the milder weather had improved
the pressure and there was better
supply today than there has been for
some time. He declared, however,
that the present little drizzling rain
would do but little good. 1t requires
day of hard rain to fill up the
streams. MI. Burns said he has asked
the factories to use spariugly OF the
water in order that there might be as
little waste as possible, but does not
believe that any more will be without
a supply. He says that next Wednes-
day the new main will be connected
with the old one on the south side and
this will greatly increase the pressure
and put an end to the threatened
4 famine.

ing the child aboard his boat, presum-
aSly offering to fill her pail with coal.
He imprisoned her in the cabin. 1t
was Just before his boat was taken in

The boat returned Wednesday and
was moored with others off the Packer
dock, foot of Essex street, A warrant
had been issued and the two detectives,
guided by the boatmen, were aboard
before Hoch had chance to leave the
boat He refused to surrender and
gave the officers terrific battle. The
officers were forced to use their leath-
ern "billies'' and were encouraged by
the neighborlng boatmen, who offered
their aid. The detectives were at a
disadvantage as they had to fight on
the slippery decks, but they finally
beat Hocn into submission. He was
cut and bruised about the head and
face before he deslsted.
Hoch narrowly escaped being lynch
ed at Port Reading when. the angry
rescue party boarded his boat and tore
