TRUSTEES REFUSE LANDING
TO EXCURSION STEAMERS
NAVIGATION COMPANY INVoKES
AID OF LAW
Asks for Injunction to Restrain Long
Beach Officials From Interfering
With Traffic, but Is Refused-Tour-
lists and Business Men Interested

As -o---,o-uft-Uf u MISUNDERSTANDING e
between the trustees of the city OF
Long Beach and the Nelson Napier
Navigation company of the Pacific
coast both parties have transferred
their troubles to court and the first
step of litigation was taken yesterday
when Il petition for injunction was en-
tered before Judge Bordwell of de-
partment nine of the superior court,
by the navigation people.
The fight is over the right of the
little pleasure and excursion crafts to
land at the Long Beach wharf and
nearly every citizen of Long Beach
is interested in some way in the out
come.
The navigation company was incor-
porated some years ago and under
their charter were granted the right
to land at any port on the Pacific
coast
Everything went smoothly between
the company and the city of Long
Beach until a few weeks ago when the
little steamers, according to the state
ments of their owners, were denied the
right to land at the Long Beach wharf.
Tourists, business men of Los An
gelcs and pleasure seekers from all
Larts of the southwest took up the
fight of the navigation company in an
effort to secure continuance of the
excursion trips.
Ordinance Prohibits Landing
The trustees of Long Beach coll
tended that by a new ordinance passed
by them, the navigation company was
not handling its wharfage in the
proper manner
They gave as a reason for refusing
entrance to the steamship company
that the wharf was damaged and not
in fit condition for the landing of YES
sells. The Nellie" the Fashion" and
several other small freight and passen-
ger vessels of the navigation company
have been lying idle at mooring for
the past few weeks, and residents of
Long Beach who were in the habit of
making almost daily trips to San
Pedro and return by water route have
objected strenuously to the new laws
which have put the boats out of SER
vice.
The navigation company recently
filed suit against Long Beach and an
attack was made on the validity of
the new ordinance.
Yesterday a petition for injunction
against Long Beach to restrain the
city from interfering with the trade
and service of the boats until the suit
is settled. was filed before Judge
Bordwell. but was refused and the trial
will be held Immediately.

CHEESE POISONSF AMILY
Peculiar Fermentation Cause of
Serious Illness.

ORANGE, Nov. 17:-Poisoned pot
cheese which had been purchased in
Newark Wednesday was the cause of
the serious illness of four members
of the family of George w. Sharp, of
120 Scotland street Wednesday night.
Mrs. Sharp gave some of 1t to her
daughter, Mrs. Edward B. Towne. of
II Mechanic street. Mrs. Sharp and
her youngest daughter, Miss Ida
Sharp, as well and Mr.. and Mrs.
Towne, ate the cheese at supper, and
shortly after all became violently ill.
A peculiar form of fermentation
had affected the stuff, and made the
four people i'll. All suffered the most
intense agony, Mrs. Sharp being the
most seriously affected. Yesterday
it was believed they were out of
danger.

PROBES LAUNCH DEATHS
No Proof Produced of Foul Play on
the Jubilee.

EGG HARBOR CITY, Nov. III
Coroner PARCELS began his investiga-
ton yesterday into the death of Cap
tain John Sauer and Johann Diet
rich, the two men found dead in the
cabin of the launch Jubilee Wednes-
day night. Foul play was suspected.
The two men were found dead in
the cabin of the boat, which was
picked up adrift at sea by oystermen.
The boat was towed back to the Oys-
ter Creek dock. Both, men HAD been
dead some time.
The corouer has learned that
Sauer's body when found was lying
near an open window. Dietrich's
was found in his bunk. IT is sup
posed that the fumes from the gaso-
lene engine caused their death, as a
leak was found in the pipe which
passes through the cabin, from tank
to the engine.
The o found the cabin
slightly disarranged and on Sauer's
body are found some marks. but
there was no indication of Il struggle
having taken place.

LAW FOR CITY
LIGHT PLANTS.
legislature Will be Asked to
Pass One Allowing Cities to
Do Own Lighting.

ELIZABETH, Nov. 17:-Council-
man Nugent introduced into the city
council Wednesday night a resolu-
ton instructing the city attorney to
draw mp q bill to be presented in the
coming legislature authorizing cities
of the second class TO construct mum
icipal lighting plants. The resolu-
ton was adopted unanimously and
without any comment from any OF
the other councilmen.
In his resolution Mr.. Nugent stat
ed that the contracts for lighting the
city, which are now outstanding, will
expire on September 1. 1906. If at
that time the city desired to do away
with private contracts, and to estab-
fish instead a municipal plant, it
would have no legislative warrant
for doing so. On this account he
asked that City Attorney Connolly
frame a bill that will give to all sec
ond class cities a standing right to
construct municipal lighting plants
when conditions shall permit them.
Nh. Negent had some things to say
about the resolution after the meet
ing. He stated that the Newark
authorities discovered some time ago
when they considered the matter of
4 city plant that there was nothing
in the state constitution or in any
act of the legislature, to sanction
such a plant. Nor was there any
thing to warrant second class cities
in such a procedure. only %boroughs
were found to have a legislative en-
dorsement for the erection of light
ing plants. This was because some
of the seashore boroughs had applied
for permission, and the act became
general for boroughs.
In the present state of aEairs, If a
second or first class city We're to con-
struct a municipal lighting plant OF
its own initiative, and without an
authoritative act from teh legislat-
ure, there might be a flaw in the pro-
ceedings. 1t might, therefore, be
difficult to raise the money to finance
the venture. Such a bill as Mr..
Nugent is aiming at is proposed to
do away with that difficulty.
He said he hardly thought the city
would be able TO assume control of
it's own plant by September /, 1906,
when the present contracts expire.
But with the bill once passed, then
Elizabeth could grasp the opportun-
ity when it arrived. Now, he said,
the time was especially opportune
for the presentation of such a meas
ure. as the triumphant Colby ele-
ment was strong in the legislature,
and professedly in favor of munich
pal ownership of city lighting. Other
cities are making efforts in the same
direction, and perhaps more than
one bill will be framed. one for first
class cities and one for cities of the
second class. Mr.. Nugent stated
that if the bill were passed, it might
be made a general one for all classes
of cities.

have been told when criticising the

and New Brunswick avenue by ma
cadamizing first and, as soon as the
steam roller was off, tearing IT up for
a sewer, that it vas the peoples fault,
as they asked for it.. ! claim that is
no excuse An alderman is supposed
to have some brains and a little bus

enough TO manage his W affairs in
that way. Why public business that
intrusted TO him?
Now the people in the fourth ward
are not guilty in this case, and |. for
one, protest. We asked, yes, demand
ed, a sewer. 1t is needed in the most
urgent way, but we don't want our
money that we pay in taxes wasted in
work to be Immediately torn up. 1t
is time something vas done TO stop
this useless waste of money Let us
have improvements and we will pay
the bills, but stop this asinine waste.
Use a little Judgment and work in u
~workmanlike manner.
Now there is a lot of talk about n
new police station with a more sani-
tary place to lock up the DRINKS and
crooks. am willing to concede it is
needed badly but | contend that it
would be more to the credit of the Of
ficials of the city TO see first that the
honest citizens who pay their doctors
have sewers and good sanitary con-
ditions where they are. forced to live.
The crooks can keep straight and out
of the unsanitary lookup.
