FRIDAY, JUNE %.


Well, well, We thought we were
taking a big leap and putting on a
bold front when we settled upon 25,-
900 as the population of this city. We
first stated that it would be a safe bet
that Perth Amboy would 60 Loco
ahead of New Brunswick. The coun-
ty seat is figniingson an increase to
from %, 900 to "a, 900. The fact thai
the New Brunswick Home News took
it up is we'll known and a dinner is to
be given on the result.
What must the Home News think
when it read yesterday that since the
enumerators have been at work, some
people, who claim they have had
hints as to the outlook, venture tc
mention 81, 900 in connection with the
total? That gives us 1000 to boo'
and still holds to the EVENING
NEWS figure. ;,
OF course, the census men are mum
There is a heavy fine for them If they

Sidiculing kind and there seemed t'
be that satisfied expression on theil
faces which sometimes speaks louder
than words. Whether or not Perth
Amboy's population goes to 27,OOt
it is certain that,the county seat mus

A Ray Of Light.

A ray of light at last shines through
the darkness of the bridge muddle.
After long delays the new plans for
the steel spans in the structure were
found and, after some more time for
consideration, the war department
has approved.t the change. A telegram
received by Freebooter Haney an
nounced this and now the long delayed
work is likely to be started in the
near future. This is good news. II
Is a shame the way that important
county work has been knocked about,
ignored and sighted, as If $780, 0(
was a mere nothing. The steel spans
should be in this summer and it is tc
be hoped the ice of another winter

The really encouraging feature is
that work on the bridge and the APP
proach at this end are to go forward
together. One is little good without

There was something significant in
the remarks of Commissioner Jensen
when he said that what Perth Amboy
needed was at least three men to look
after the water mains all the time
these men to receive good pay from
the water department alone and moi
work for the city one day and the gas
company the next. Wonder what he
meant?

HILL DENIES FRAUD.

Declares Schanhauser's Testtmony
Against Him to BE False.
PHILADELPHIA, June %. John
W. Hill, former chief OF the bureau OF
filtration, who is held in $4,000 for trial
on the charge of classifying the records
Of his bureau, issued a statement last
night, In which he denies the charges
made against him. He says that the
testimony of Fred Schaffhauser that
he was ordered by Mr.. Hill to falsify
his monthly reports, any or all, Is
..willful, deliberate and corrupt per-
Jury of the rankest kind"
Mr.. Hill says his position at the city
hall was never congenial and that he
resigned his position because of a de-
sire to return to professional work,
which was more profitable than the
salary paid by the city, which was
1900 a year.

GIVE WOOD FAIR TRIAL.

Ternton, in common with other
smaller cities, following New Yorks
example, is going into the business
of experimenting with wooden block
pavement. The unfortunate eXper-
fence of Elizabeth and Railway in
the latter eos and early SOS, has
been forgotten by, or is unknown to
the younger generation, and we are
now asked to return to the use of
an organic substance, which, unless
it is properly treated" will speedily
decay by reason of its absorbing LID
uid or solid street filth.
1t is claimed bye experts that the
objections once made to wood pave
ments have been removed, and Lon
don is cited as a familiar example.
The wood blocks cost $2.30 pei
square yard, as compared with $1.6C
per square yard for asphalt, a mat
ter, however, not of supreme i'm
portance If the blocks will outlive
the sheet asphalt.
The New York Times, in discus
sing the situation in that city, asks
certain questions which are pertin-
ent to conditions in Trenton.
The things, said the Times, to be
determined are, whether wood blocks
will stand the wear of heavy traffic,
wheter they viii afford a better foot
hold for horses than other pavements
in wet weather, and whether they
can be so treated chemically as not
to be offensive and unhealthy.
If the experts can theoretically an
asver these innufrias. md a aanrchfnp

JAPS TN WELCOM Me-
CALIFORNIA TAKING ALARM
OVER THEIR INCREASE.
Thousands Coming to San francisco
from Hawaii - Press and Labor
Unions Raise Protest-Said to
Be Undesirable Population.

-
Twenty-Five years ago the Pacific
coast carried on violent opposition to
the immigration of the Chinese; al
present she is temporarily opposing
further Japanese addition to her popu-
lation.
In 1880 there were but SO Japanese
persons in California; to-day there are
$4,000. 1t is estimated that about 100,-
600 Japs are now resident in this coun-
try.
The sudden increase is lately notice
able in San Francisco, and is partly
due to the large numbers of Japanese
that have left Hawaii, where labor
troubles have resulted in their depar-
ture for 'the Coast" and the high
wages to be had there. In the last five
years 1000 Japanese coolies have en-
tered San Francisco from Hawaii, in
0 few months residence in the latter
place having picked up a little knowl-
edge of the English language and Gus
toms. ips j. ~ fs,.
Speaking of the wiles of the heather
Chinee, he isn't a circumstance com
pared to the smooth Jap. The latter
quickly adapts himself to his new sur
roundings, but all the time he keeps to
his old religion, his old notions of
morality. He wear European dress,
but he remains oriental to the core. He
goes to Sunday school, but he goes
largely to learn more of the language
OF the new land in which he is seeking
fortune. The objections made by the
Californian to the influx of this polite
and apparently innocent people are
rather formidable. "The California leg
islature last month adopted resolutions
declaring against unrestricted immi-
grafton of Japanese, and called upon
1.-THE national government for protection
against the influx of the most undesir-
able class Of the Mikado's subjects.
The points brought out in these resolu-
lions were that the Japanese laborers
now crowding into the state by way of
Hawaii or directly from Japan are I'M
desirable immigrants because of their
poverty and habits; that they cannot
-
become citizens, and show no desire to
assimilate with the American people;
that the great majority of them are
contract laborers, hired to come Over
for small wages, and that the contract
ors who import them are thus able to
furnish men, for fruit picking. clearing
land, working on the railroad, ETC., at
prices far below those demanded ever
by the poorer classes of Italians,
Greeks and Portuguese; that the
Japanese establish no homes here, and
that they go back to Japan with theii
earnings as the Chinese return tt
China"
The agitation has been confined
mainly to the press and the labor
unions, the latter having already fell

can live in the home land on but a few
cents a day, and can save here on what
