upset and the baby tumbled out into the
roadway. Neither mother nor baby was

TRENTON, Oct 81, 1906 The ninth
annual convention Of the New Jersey
Firemen's Mutual Benevolent Associa-
ton opened here yesterday in the Tur-
ner Hail. There were about thirty three
delegatesjof the association present when
MiehaeltJ. Ryan, of Paterson, president
of the organization, called the meeting to
order.
Mr.SBender is secretary of.the associ-
alton, and his report showedta large in
crease in membership, with Newark in
the lead, which is known asiBranch No.
4 About the only new business that is
likely to be transacted is the discussion
of a new per capita tax.
There were present at the convention
thirty-three delegates, being three from
each of the cities of. Newark. Jersey
City, Paterson. Hoboken. Camden, Tren-
ton, Plainfeld, Atlantic City, Elizabeth,
Orange and Montclair, the cities Of the
State aving paid fire departments. Tie
matter under discussion. yesterday morn
ing was whether theree should be a per
capita tax for the maintenance of the
benevolent fund and for general expens-
es. At the present time the benevolent
fund is maintained by assessment. and
while there is fraction Of the associa-
ton clamoring for the per capita tax as
the only sure method of maintaining the
benevolent fund, there is a large follow
ing Of the present plan os assesrnsks.
No action has been taken to tbs 10us
The time of the convention yesterday
afternoon was taken up with a discus
sion on the project to agitate one day
off in six instead Of the present plan Of
one day of in eight, The fremen believe
that it is possible to grant this request
without imperiling the departments at
any time. They are confined in the FIRE
houses now for seven days. night and
dag, except hours off for meals, and the
fremen find the close work very trying.
One Of the strong arguments for the
new plan of one day off in six instead
of in eight days is found in statistics
which show that fremen are paid less
than policemen, time on duty considered.
besides the showing that no department
would be crippled by allowing its men
one day off in six. instead of one day off
in eight days.
Officers Of the association were elect
ed yesterday afternoon, and President
Ryan succeeded himself. SECRETARY Rob-
ert D. Bender. of Newark, was also re-
elected. There was a change in the Of

PRINCETON, Oct. 81, 19o-The
Princeton football squad returned yester-
day in good condition and with only one
injury from the Columbia game. The
coaches were not altogether satisfied with
the showing made in Saturdays contest,
in spite of the fact that the eleven had
been instructed to play defensive game
in the first half. The team seemed to take
TOO long to find its strength, and at the
same time showed that it had underesti-
mated the ability of the New Workers,
especially on the attack
Columbia went through the line time
after time in the earlier part of the game,
and showed up two weak spots in par
ticular. Waller seemed entirely unfit for
the task of holding the centre position
intact, and substantial gains were made
through his position. The right side of
the line also seemed to be feeble. and
Won Solzer seldom failed to work past
Phillips at tackle. This portion Of the
line would undoubtedly have been strong
er, but for the fact that Dillon, who
played guard next to Phillips, received a
blow on the head soon after the game
started, which put him in a dazed con-
dition. In this state he played through
the entire contest, and later suffered a
broken nose, which rendered him stin less
able to play in his usual FORM
Princeton's defensive game Of the first
half was chiefly due 10 the fact that Co
lumbia was looked upon as an easy
mark, but, under the circumstances the
policy was attended with good results.
The blue and white players spent all
their energies in pounding away in the
early period, and when the second half
started the Tigers went up against an
exhausted eleven, and won the game By
fair score without suffering the inju-
res which were inflicted in rolling up the
% points in 1902.
| E. Dillon ran the team in brisk man
ner, and completely outgeneralled his OPP
ponends, His individual work was all
so of a high order, he handling Dunts in
a clean manner and eluding the swift
