SCHILLER is
TURNED DOWN.
Excise Board Refused to Renew
His License Last Night
Withdrew Application.

George Plechner, representing JOS
eph Schiller, who had applied to the
Excise Commissioners for license
to keep saloon for his property in
New Brunswick avenue, was pres
ent at the meeting of the Excise
Board last night. with a request that,
if the board had it in mind to re-
fuse the license, his client be allow
ed to withdraw the application.
Recorder Speaks.
Recorder H. e. Pickersgill, who
was also present, asked to be allow
ed to speak. The permission being
granted, he said the city had al
ready plenty of saloons and while
he did not blame the board, he
thought that they had enough. He
made a strong plea that the license
of Mr.. Schiller be not granted as
many of the disorderly cases in the
court came from that place The
board, at the suggestion of Commits
sioner Schoonoyer, allowed Schiller
to withdraw the request.
The reason he had asked to with
draw the application, Mr.. Plechner
said, was that if the license was to
be refused, Schiller had chance to
lease the property, to some one else
who might apply for license.
One More New License.
The board granted a license to
Max Goldberger to keep a wholesale
and retail liquor store in the new
building which he is now erecting
in State street between Fayette and
Jefferson streets. A few transfers
and renewals were also granted.

Committee Of Citizens Electric
Light Company Have Decided
Upon Changes to be Asked For.
WANT FAIR COMPETITION
Ask for Time to Lay ,Conduits
Object TO Paying 2 Per Cent,
Of Gross Receipts.

At a meeting of the special COM
mittee of the Citizen S Electric Light,
Heat & Power Company, last night,
definite decision was arrived at as
to the issues to be presented to the
Board of Aldermen at the confer
ence to be held tonight.
The company will ask for a more
liberal franchise. 1t is unwilling
to lay conduits and to pay to the city
two per cent, of its gross earnings,
which is specified in the franchise
in its present form.
The company wants to be allowed
to erect poles with a provision that
it will lay a certain amount of con-
duits at the expiration of five years.
Tho company is willing to increase
the number OF the conduits by de-
grees. until, when Perth Amboy has
reached a size and state where poles
will not be tolerated to any extent,
the company will, it declares, have
all it's wires under the ground.
Cannot Unite.
The idea of laying and using con-
duits jointly with the Hudson &
Middlesex Telephone Company has
fallen fiat. The telephone people de-
clare they could not entertain such
proposition, because the higher
current of the electric light company
would destroy the vibrations neces-
sary for telephone transmission.
Object to 2 Per Cent.
The citizens company also strong
ly objects to paying into the city's
Golfers two per cent, of the gross
'-tassssar.SSRgy This, 1t declares, would
be both unjust and impracticable be-
cause, with such requirements and
drains upon its resources, it could
not hope to compete with the Public
Service Corporation. It's promoters
assert that two per cent, of its
whole receipts, in addition to the
regular taxes would be too heavy a
burden to Ahoulder
Not to Make Money.
"Our company" said one of the
members of the special committee
this morning, lis not formed to make
money, but simply to furnish cheap
er light. That we could not hope to
accomplish, if our franchise is not
more liberal in its TERMS
The company's counsel, James S.
Wight. will appear at the confer
ence with the aldermen tonight to
argue it's request

osTEOPATHY IN PNEUMONIA.

Said one of Chicago's most emil
nent physicians last winter: mot a
medicine is known that will do one
particle of good in pneumonia, and
the sooner we resume the search for
one, the better for ourselves and the
people" But he must add: failure
must always meet the research for
a medicine, for the cause lies beyond
medicine. Medical textbooks say the
state In pneumonia is filling of the
lung tissue with blood and serum
which has exuded from the weaken
ed and dilated blood vessels. The
osteopath goes further and finds that
these blood vessels ar weakened by
loss of nerve force which Is cut off
by pressure on the vaso-motor nerves
to the lungs. The cure depends on
the removal of this pressure. Thus
it is seen why medicine must fail
The Osteopath finds this pressure to
be from slightly displaced vertebrae
and ribs. Correct these and the cure
speedily follows, as was demonstrate
ed the past week in our city on q
case which the medical doctor gave
I'D and the OstCC path cured. Fol

The church people are swamping

letters urging the passage of the

with letters protesting against Alex
ander's senate bill giving members of
the state inspection board $25 a
month and expenses, collected in fees.
While the Christian and the cow
man can get together on letter writ

for one opposes a bill and the other
advocates a bill Strange as it may
seem. as far as known not cowman
