Aldermen, Last Night, Passed
Resolution to Compel Action
Instructed City Attorney.
SCHULTZ is ACTIVE.
Has Demanded that the Street
be Cleared from the Begin
ming Worked for Il.
COMPANY RUSHED THE JOB.
Put Large Force of Men at Work
Recently and Sent the Build
ing Up Quickly.

Steps were taken by the Board OF
Aldermen last night to compel the
New Jersey Terra Gotta Company to
remove its new building from the
southerly end of Catharine street. A
resolution was introduced by Alder
man Schultz to that effect and In
structing the city attorney to begin
legal proceedings to enforce its re-
moval.
The erection of the building has
caused trouble since the start. and
petitions for and against allowing
the building were received by the
council from residents of thar local
ity several months ago, when the
building was commenced. The only
argument in favor was the fact that
the company owns considerable land
on that block of Catharine street
south of Hall avenue. and that 1t
would cause but little Inconvenience.
Finally, a few months ago. an or
dinance was introduced to yacate
that end OF Catharine street, for the
purpose of allowing the company to
proceed with the erection OF the
building, which extends several feet
over the street line. That ordinance
got only as far as its first read
ing
Now the aldermen have changed
their minds, and are going to try to
compel the terra Gotta company to
remove the building from off the
line of the street
1t is declared that. on the day o.
the Republican county c0Ir7ef1I I16u
last week, when Alderman SchuIfz-
who has made a strong fight against
the terra Gotta company. and the 9th
er leaders were in New BrunsWick.
the company had its contractor re-
sumo the work on the building and
that fifteen or twenty briclSlayers
were put to work, much being there's
by accomplished towards the comple-
tion of the building
This did much to incur dissatis-
faction and displeasure among those
opposed to the erection of the struct-
ure.
An official of the company, in an
interview this morning, declined to
discuss the matter and would not af-
firm or deny the allegation that they
put masons to work last Thursday.
Asked whether they would put up
a contest he said that he was not pre-
pared to make any statement in that
connection.

TERRA GOTTA MUST
VACATE THE STREET.
STATUE READY
FOR PARK SOON
Committee In Charge is Doing
Active Work and Good Pro-
gresS Is Being Made.

Good progress is now being made
on the George Washington statue
being made by the Scandinavians of
this city to replace the present piece
of terra Gotta now in city hall park.
Great pains are being taken to
make the new statue a lasting one.
The Scandinavians have pledged
themselves to sufficient amount
to assure the work being completed,
but no date has been set for the un-
Yelling because of the liability of the
statue having to be trimmed over,
the second or third time. The New
Jersey Terra Gotta Company has
promised to turn out perfect statue
even if it has to be burned over a
dozen times
One of the important changes in
the new statue is that it will be
burned all in one piece and will be
glazed to fill all the pores The old
statue was in thirty pieces and then
put together. The fact that one of
the hands has fallen off shows this
defect The new statue will represent
the father of his county standing in
restful pose beside stump of a
tree. 1t will be gray, almost white in
color.
Abel Hansen, the secretary of the
committee in charge says everything
is progressing finely The defects in
the old statue are being examined in
order to avoid them in the new one
The statue will be remolded this
week and will soon be ready for the
fire.

BICYCLES HAD ONE.
Calls Attention to the Speed
Limit and the Rights
Of others.
SOUTH AMBOy SHOOTING CASE.
Several Other Matters Considered
by the Justice in Charging
This Morning.

Special to the Evening News;
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. l9;-Ac.
cording to the charge made by Justice
Fort to the September grand jury.
this morning, automobiles may have
to fight for the use of the public high
speaking of the fatal automobile nc
cijent at Dunelen in which Mrs.
Westphal was killed by the auto
owned by Mr.. Stanberg colliding with
Oscar Harrison's wagon.
In looking up the laws relating to
automobiles, Justice Fort said whilc
he had found laws relating to speed,
registration, etc. of automobiles, he
had failed to find any act which had
been passed giving automobiles the
right to use the public highways. He
referred to the fact that autos were
new feature in civilization and that
they pass over the highways at a
forceful and rapid rate. When the
bicycle first came into vogue. he said,
4 special law was passed giving them
the use of the highway. AS far as he
had been able to learn this has not
been done for automobiles.
Justice Fort said that from what he
had learned Of the case in question
the automobile was on the wrong side
)f the road. He said autos were sub
Iect TO the same law us any other
vehicle, if they had any rights at all,
and must always keep to the right.
The Justice also called attention to
the fact that the law provides that, in
passing another vehicle, an automo-
bile must not 90 faster than one mile
in three minutes and at other times
is limited to a speed of one mile in
two minutes. He told the jurors to
investigate this accident and if negli-
renee was found to indict fon man
slaughter.
When the grand jury assembled this
morning Chauncey G. Baldwin, OF
bEln AnDpN WIZ llitu DCtn CitStu
| foreman, was absent aud II. V. Phil
lips, of South Brunswick, was made
foreman.
In addressing the grand jury Justice
Fort mentioned the South Amboy
shooting case. He said it was reported
rs an accidental shooting. but he had
heard that two shots were fired, in
which case the Justice said he did not
see how it could be an accident. There
are two degrees Of manslaughter. the
Justice explained and told the Jury
it could find Indictment for one or the
other according to their investigation.
Regarding the two-boys who drove
horses into crowd in New Bruins
wick, Justice Fort said they could be
indicted for assault even if they had
not touched anyone, provided it was
proven that they did the act purposed-
ly.
The trolley collision at Dayton was
mentioned. No criminal intent was
evident, but their might be negli-
gence and the Justice told them to in
vestiVate il.
