ALDERMEN ADJOURN.

While the Board OF Aldermen was
busy with municipal matters last
night word came to city hall of
Mayor Braces demise, and Collector
A. H. Crowell went up and whispered
to Aldermanat-Large Pfeiffer at
9:45 O'Clock. Mr.. Pfeiffer at once
called the members of the council
aside and, in whispered conversa-
ton with City Attorney Hommann, it
was decided to take an adjournment
as soon as the council finished up
what business could not wait until
another meeting.
Mr.. Pfeiffer announced briefly to
the persons in the council chamber
the fact that the mayor had died a
few minutes previously. In a few
words Mr.. Pfeiffer spoke of the loss
which the city would feel in Mayor
Braces death and he said that the
members of the council, who knew
so well of the mayors devotion to
the city's interests, would especially
deeply mourn his death. Mr.. Pfeiffer
said that the mayor always thought
of the city as coming first and that
he had great faith in its future great
ness.
The few necessary routine matters
were then disposed of.
Alderman Stacey offered motion
that the council adjourn until next
Monday night and that the flags on
all city buildings be hung at half
mast, and that the city hall be
draped with black. The motion was
carried.
A motion introduced by Alderman
Warter was also carried, that the
chair appoint a committee to draw
up resolutions of sympathy and pre-
sent them to Mrs. Brace, and that
the members of the council attend
the funeral in a body. Alderman-at-
large Pfeiffer appointed Messrs.
Stacey, Warter and Grouse to draw
nm the resolutions

LOCAL OPTION
IS ADVANCED.
Five Members Have Signed and
Bill Is Certain to be Re-
ported.

TRENTON, Feb. 20.-The Miller
local option bill, house No. IS, which
has already been the cause Of lively
skirmishing in the legislature, has
been signed by the five members of
the committee on municipal corpora
tions of the house, which has had
charge of it, and will be reported.
That fact was officially announced by
members of the committee last night.
The committee is composed of AS
semblyman Scovel, Camden; Scott,
Hudson; Wright, Passaic; Walsh,
Essex: and Burk, Mercer
Just when the bill will be reported
is not so certain. 1t was said last
night that it might be reported to-
day, but this was not verified, 1t was
not given out officially either just
how it will be reported 1t may be
taken as certain, however. that it will
not be reported unfayorably. 1t is
said that it may be reported with an
amendment providing for referen-
dunn under which it would not be-
come a law even though legally en-
acted unless endorsed by a majority
of the voters OF the state Another
report was that the bill would be re-
ported without comment, thus reliev-
ing the committee of all responsible
ity, and putting the issue squarely
up to the legislature.
There were hints in the corridors
last night that the reporting of the
bill might be delayed, and its passage
by the house further delayed so that
II would die in the senate in the last
hours of the session. But that was
only gossip. One member of the COM
mittee was quite positive that the
measure would be reported today.
1t is admitted that there will be
uneasiness among the
lawmakers after the bill is reported
because of the fear of the results of
their votes. 1t is fully realized that
to vote for the measure will be to
bring down the wrath of the liquor
interests, while on the other hand, to
vote against the bill will be to incur
the lasting enmity of the temperance
advocates. Representatives of both
the liquor men and the friends of the
bill are on hand at every session of
the legislature, and the attitude of
every lawmaker toward the measure
is being closely watched.
Looked at from any standpoint the
bill is the bane of the legislators at
this session.

MAYOR is DEAD.
DR.. Harry Martyr Brace Passed
Awayat $40 O'Clock Last Night.
ENTIRE CITY IS IN MOURN N C.

( ence, the latter being in Bellevue
Hospital, New York
DR.. Brace was married in 1884 to
frankie i. Harrington, daughter of
e. G. Harrington, who has resided
with DR.. Brace for number of years
past.
Dr. Brace practiced medicine at
Lackawaxen, Pa, for five years, and
then for two years at Port Jervis, N.
Y.
He came to this city in December
1892, succeeding Dr. Edward B. p.
Kelley, who had died in the fall of
that year For period of six months
Or. Brace lived at the northwest
corner of Market and King streets in
the Palmer house, after which he
moved to DR.. Kelleys former resi-
dence at High street and City Hall
Park, where he has since resided. His
medical practice has been large one
and he devoted an extraordinarily
large part of his time to it.
He took little interest in politics
and it was not until later years that
he would accede to the wishes of his
friends that he enter public life The
only other Office he held beside that
of mayor was that of coroner for one
term. He ran for mayor before
against the late James L. Compton,
but politics in this city did not have
a republican complexion at that time.
He was elected to the Office of mayor
of this city, in November, 1904, by a
large majority.
His mother, who is now Mrs Fred
erick Rankin, of Washington, d. c.,
came to this city over two weeks ago
and has been here since.
Many people have called upon the
mayor during the last few weeks and
have found him marvelously bright
and cheerful despite the disease,
which, although it gave him but lit
tie constant pain, made his ultimate
recovery a certain impossibility.
Dr.. Brace was a prominent lodge
man and an active member of the
Middlesex County Medical Society.
He belonged to the B. P. O. of Elks,
Knights of Pythias, Royal Arcanum,
Independent Order of Red Men, For
esters. Daughters of Liberty, Daugh-
ters of PocahOntas, ST. Marks Polish
Society, No. 81, the Garfield Battery,
Perth Amboy Republican Club, and
was vice commodore of the Raritan
Yacht club.

of Sheridan street, and the relative
advantages and disadvantages of that
route and the other on Sheridan
street. They also ask that the city
attorney give an opinion in the mat
ter. The petition is headed by the
signature of the Chesebrough Manu-
featuring Company.
The matter was referred to the
committee of the whole.

men. A few years ago he retired
from active work. Interment will

PLUMBERS To

Perth AmbOy Man in the DeIega-
tiOn at Trenton Working for
Labor Bill.

TRT ON, Feb. 2O.-H J. Gott-
lob. Newark, representing the
state Federation of Labor; G. A.
Salt, of Perth Amboy, and Michael
Mcintyre, of this city, representing
the Association of Plumbers, Steam
and Gas Filters, and Reuber Forker,
of the Trenton Central Labor Union,
headed a delegation of labor men at
the state house last night to look af-
ter the interests of the four labor
bills pending in the legislature
The bills follow: Assembly No. 23.
by H. D. Thompson, of Mercer. pro-
viding for the licensing of plumbers
in cities; assembly No. 140, by Mr..
Bierck, providing for the licensing of
stationary engineers; assembly No
149, by Mr. Marelli, of Passaic, pro-
viding for the licensing of firemen
who operate steam boilers, and sem
ate No. So, by Mr.. Mckee, of Passaic,

act.
The Mckee bill is designed to ov-
lates to union labels, caused by the

theirs of the respective measures,
learned what progress they were
making and urged that they be re-
ported and passed.

ROOSEVELT'S VISIT.

An interesting feature in Mayor
Braces life was the visit of Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, to this city. This might be
termed one of the proudest moments
DR.. Brace ever experienced.
The incident is fresh in the men,
ory of all 1t was during the big
convention of the national educators
at Asbury Park last summer and 1t
was announced that the president
would be present one day and make
an address. Realizing that Mr..
Roosevelt would have to pass
through this city, the mayor decided
to ask him to stop here. When
towns and cities all over the country
were making similar appeals it was
hardly to be expected that the re-
quest would be granted.
Mayor Brace, however had a way
of his own. He had been a play
mate of Roosevelt's in New York
years ago and it was on this score
that he appealed to the chief execu-
tive of the nation to pause a moment
at Perth Amboy as he passed
through. The appeal was sufficient
