Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-10-02

Certainly the oldest passport ever
issued was one signed by the governor
of the Russian province Of Povolsk, on
the shores of the Arctic ocean, who
granted safe conduct to the north pole.
He was approached by two NOM
bers of an expedition fitting out for a
polar exploration who gave as their
destination the north pole. The gov
ernor was nonplussed at this unique
request, but his visitors insisted on
being supplied with the desired papers
and their request was granted after
the governor had thoughtfully written
in a clause stipulating that the respon-
sibility of the Russian government
ceased when they passed from Rus
sian territory. The explorers assent
ed to this qualification and since their
travels carried them but a short dis
lance toward the pole, they are still
possessed of their unique documents.

COLBY BREAKS
FROM MACHINE.
Will Have His Own Headquarters
and His Own Committee to
Run Campaign.

NEWARK, Oct. 2.-Politicians of
Essex county sec nothing but an open
and lasting breach between the fac
tions in the republican party led by
Lentz and Colby. The l~atter's latest
public declaration is that under no
circumstances will he recognize
Major Lentz as chairman of the
county committee, so far as his right
to lead the campaign is concerned.
Mr.. Colby proposes to reopen his
headquarters in Newark, r%econvene
the executive committee that direct
ed his fight for nomination and place
his campaign for reelection in their
hands, utterly and absolutely ignor-
ing the regular party organization so
long as Major Lentz remains its
leader.
This decision of the senatorial
candidate was made after a confer
ence with the other candidates on
the republican ticket last Friday
night, and in the face of the fact that
his associates practically declined to
agree to such a course. Major Lentz
has received a copy of the resolution
adopted at that conference. 1t says
the candidates are dissatisfied with
the concessions offered by Lentz, be-
cause they are so ambiguous rs to
leave it doubtful whether he intend
ed to give the Colby men an actual
part in the management of the cam
paign or to make them mere figure
heads.
Although Colby's declaration that
he will not play in the same political
yard with Lentz is practically in de-
fiance of the decision of his associ-
ates, he says he has spoken in their
name, and he has given public as
that all the candidates on
the county ticket will be with him in
his Independent campaign. Wheth-
er they will or not will probably be
determined today, when another con-
ference of the candidates will be held
at the Colby committee h%eadquar-
ters at Newark.

A crook who had married and tried
to settle down and lead an honest life,
was riding in a street car the other day
when he felt a slight tug at his stud.
Without turning his head he locked
down and saw a busy hand trying to
wcrK it out of his shirt front. He at
once worked his right hand behind his
lack and took the other fellows watch.
When he had it securely in his pocket

Building Code Again.

O
Perth Amboy will never become
the city she is entitled to be until
she adopts a building code and has
a building inspector to enforce it.
This is made all the more evident by
the small, o~ne-story, frame shanty
recently erected near the corner of
Smith and State streets, and by sim
liar structures in all sections of the
city. The sooner there is some reg
ulation for the building being done
here, the soone will this city come
unto its own. In this respect we are
far behind our sister cities in the
state. Here is an instance of the
work being done along this line in
Hoboken, the article is taken from
the Hoboken Observer:
Building Inspector Steigleiter, of
Hoboken, was quite right in refusing
the owner of the old Astor House,
corner of Washington and Second
streets, a permit to raise and add
several stories to that building. Ho-
boken has passed the period when
such renovation of old buildings
should be permitted. These build
ings add nothing to the attractive
ness of the city, and in most cases
they are a public menac
1.-THE board of fire underwriters a
short time ago criticised the building
inspector for permitting an old house
to be rebuilt, and stated that the
laXity of the authorities in this re-
spect was most r~eprehensible, be-
traying as it did total Indifference to
the public welfare. We are, there
fore, glad to see that Mr.. Steigleiter
will not permit any more work of
the kind"
1t should be evident by this time
that a suitable building code cannot
be adopted in Perth Amboy without
the opposition of some n or an
other for it is bound to put certain
restrictions on buildings, but that is
exactly what is necessary. The pres
ent freedom of erecting structures in
the business section of the city is
more like a western mining camp
than a growing New Jersey city of
10000 population. The need of
some regulation and the strict en-
forcement thereof is recognized by
all, but, for fear of hurting some
ones feelings, nothing has yet been
accomplished. Someone, with au-
thority to do so, should take hold of
the matter and see it through to a
successful finish. The person doing
this will have accomplished one of
the greatest things that could be
done for Perth Amboy, a fact that
would soon be acknowledged by all,
no matter how much opposition from
certain quarters there might be at
he outset.

According to the political gossippers
a the fair yesterday, South Jersey
twill have at least four candidates for
the speakership of the next house, in
Robbins, of Burlington; Miller, of
Cumberland; Elvins, of Atlantic,
and Hildreth, Of Cape May. If Mer-
Ger is classed with the South Jersey
counties, as is the custom with the
politicians from the upper part. OF
state, Mr.. Barber will make five.
While it is conceded that any one of
them would make a competent presid-
ing officer, there is reason to believe
that the multiplicity of a%splrants,
coupled with the fact that the senate
presidency is TO go to Camden, will
have the effect of sending the speaker
ship to M of the North Jersey assem-
blymen. possibly to Mr.. Mills, Of
Morris, as there is to be a scarcity Of
available material from the upper
part of the state in the next house.

h people are beginning to realize
never before that the city is way
ehind the age in this respect; just
Is it was in the fire department be-
fore the recent improvements.
The fact that the police force has
Z not received the attention it deserv-
ed was doubtless due to the lack of
attention attracted by it, and that it
has not been drawn more forcibly
before the public has been due to the
efficiency of Chief Burke, as the head
of the department. 1t has been the
wholesome respect which the crooks,
robbers and disorderly persons have
had for the chief that they have not
bothered Perth Amboy much, and,
2 in the meantime, the city has kept
on growing while the police force,
both in men and equipment, has fall
en- far behind. 1t has been said that
the city would be touched up good
and hard some night and then the
need Of a modern police department
would be brought to the attention of
the people, just as the Hess block
fire showed the absolute necessity of
a modern fire department.
The aldermen now have before
them plans for a new police station
with a lookup that comes somewhere
near complying with the sanitary
laws. A patrol wagon is somewhere
in the course of preparation and it
may be ready by the time the new
police station is, provided the latter
Dis built sometime within the next

The greatest need, however, is a
patrolman's call box system whereby
a policeman on post can send in his
call at regular stated intervals and
can get in communication with the
station-house by merely unlocking
the door of the box, located on the
I street, and putting the receiver to
Ahis ear. At present the patrolman
has to rely upon telephones in stores
