10 the Evening News.

Special to the Evening News.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. ST.
The Amboy bridge hearing was on
again today for n short time and an
adjournment was then taken until
November II. when G. A. Bloomfield
will bring his side forward again.
Two witnesses were called this
morning, former Freebooter Frank
r.. De Graw, of South Amboy, and
Miss Emma Dayton. of South Amboy.
the first woman TO he brought into
the litigation.
Miss DaytOn's testimony was of the
sensational order and a serious
charge was involved. She is the
daughter of the late Mrs. Mary r..
Dayton, who was q part owner of the
Wolff approach, which the freehold
ers at first considered before they de-
cided npon the approach through the
Fouratt land, the one now in use.
Miss Dayton testified that three
men including at least II of the
freeholders went to her and inform
ed that they were considering pur-
chasing the Wolff lands and he sug-
gested to her that she place a large
price on the land. She took his prop
osition as a joke when he told her
that she ought TO charge 100000 for
it. She replied that she would sell
her part for half that sum.
Lawyer w. p. Voorhees,, counsel
for Mr.. Bloomfield, asked her who
that freebooter was. She replied that
she could not remember.
Former Freebooter Dr.. Graw tes-
tiied that, while Il member of the
Board OF Freeholders in 1902, he Sc
cured the approach on the South Am
boy side for nothing from Mrs.
F%ouratt.

FROST FOR FRANCIS.
Monmouth County Will nefeat the
Gamblers Candidate for Sheriff.

FREEHOLD, Nov. 4:-The chief
comment of the Monmouth county
public generally on the ~shrievalty
campaign is the uniform frost that
has chilled Charles Asa Francis can
didacy from the outset. The nomin-
alton of Francis by the republican
convention was the result OF n long
concocted and deeply laid scheme
not to say conspiracy-on the part OF
four well known republican leaders.
The aspirations of Francis toward the
shrievalty has long been opposed by
the rank and file OF the republican
party leaders in the county.
When Francis began his fight three
years ago his supporters figured that
Republicans outside the county would
at least remain neutral in the fight.
They imagined the big party organs
would overlook that the little man
who created such a big talk about
himself while in the state senate had
been nominated for Il county Office,
and would at least forget to tell the
voters what they knew of Francis
fecord while at Trenton, as they had
It reported to them by the 4ynx-eyed
legislative correspondents, even II
they did not give Francis their active
support. These schemers early made
deal" with the discreditable ele-
ments in the democratic party by
which Francis, if nominated, was TO
have the active assistance OF these
mercenaries. 1t is 0 history how

WILL ASK FOR BONDS
School Board Decides to Make Request
~ g.. Of the Legislature.

It was formally decided by the board
of education last evening to ask leglsla-
tive authority for q 100000 bond issue
for new school buildings. One-haf Of
the revenue from the sale Of the bonds
is to be devoted to the erection Of
fifth high school, and the remainder for
additional grade schools. The commit
tee on legislation appointed some time
ago will look after the matter.
Professor Conway Mcmillan Of the
state university, urged the board to CO.
operate in plan to establish a, free lee
ture course to be delivered in various
public school buildings: The matter
was referred to the building committee
with Instructions to designate four
schools in convenient locations.
No action was taken on the CONNER
cial club resolution concerning the
smoke nuisance. The plan Of estab-
fishing school savings banks was aban-
doned on the advice of Frank Healy,
CITY attorney, who holds that the board
has no authority to promote such prof.
ect.

thinks he can make good himself.
In Mr.. Ferris words, "Seattle looks
good to me.' The Klondike business

be a money-maker for Ferris. j, :.
It looks, too, as if Mr.. Ferris would
break into San Francisco and give the

studying the situation and has opened
