in the matter, had closed and locked
all their doors. Chief Burke looked
in the barrooms that were open, and
as yet has not taken any action in
! the matter.
City Attorney Hommann was seen
by NEWS reporter later, and ques-
toned in regard to whether the pla-.
ces had right to be open for busi-
ness.
This is my version of the matter,
said he. "The election law says that
all places where liquor is sold shall
be closed on election days. and the
new primary law says that today is
an election day, therefore you will
have to decide for yourself. If this is
an election day, and the primary law
says it is, then, of course, those who
sell liquor are violating it by keeping
open, and the penalty, l think, is
500 for the offense."
Further than this Mr.. Hommann
would not say.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-09-25

With bright blue sky and cool,
bracing weather, primary day is be-
ing observed all over the state and
every indication seems to point to
a Colby sweep.
Never before in New Jersey has
there been such a campaign for the
primary elections. Many people Will
tArn out today who have never before
taken part in electing delegates or
naming candidates.
Practically the only fight in this
county is over the republican dele
gates to the county convention which
will nominate a state senator and
three assemblymen.
The political machine controlled
by Theodore Strong, of New Bruins
wick, is the object of attack and the
voters are being urged to wipe it out
of existence on the ground that it is
owned by the corporations which
now are in control of this state.
Fordycc's Appeal.
Col. Fordyce, the independent re-
publican candidate for state senator,
announced his candidacy during the
latter part of June. Early in July
he announced the platform upon
which he would stand in making his
appeal direct to the people.
Immediately after Col Fordyce
declared himself, Theodore Strong
made an announcement, and he was
followed by Senator Jackson, who
declared he would like to have re-
nomination.
Jackson has served Strongs ring"
we'll during his past three years in
the senate and the machine immedi-
ately backed Jackson, and remained
quiet, while Col. Fordyce, with no
one to back him but the people, made
his fight in the open.
The Fordyce followers have held
meetings in all sections of the coun-
ty. Literature has been freely dis
tributed and the people have learned
more inside history of the workings
at Trenton than ever before
At first the machine hoped the
Fordyce men would tire out, but the
great growth of sentiment against
bossism and corruption alarmed the
machine and during the last few
days the so called regulars" have
been exceedingly busy, but none of
the issues of the campaign have been
met.
Flood of Ballots.
Both sides have sent out ballots to
the republican voters marked so that
only their respective delegates will
count. Poll workers are busy, and
there is as much excitement over the
primaries as there has ever been over
the final elections,
Democratic Contest.

that harmony had arrived in the

Must Close in Jersey City, Newark,
Paterson and BayOnne.

Following the example of the po-
lice chiefs in Newark and Paterson,
Chief benjamin Murphy, of Jersev
City, issued orders late last night to
the captains of the seven precincts to
notify the saloon keepers that they
must keep their saloons closed from
one pm. to nine pm. today, while
the primary election is being held.
The captains were also instructed \
see that the bars of the saloons ~
exposed to view and that SCREEN
removed from windows and dol,
accordance with the provision
bishops excise law. ~
All saloons must be c1osedrin Cam
den today during the holding of the
primary elections. AS the result Of
an opinion given last night by City
Solicitor Bleakly to Mayor Ellis he
latter issued orders to the police to
see that every place is closed between
the hours named.

WANTS HUSBAND TO
CARE FOR CHILDREN

The police received a report last
night that James Ewing has put his
children out of the house and would
not take care Of them. Patrolman
Hanson was sent to Investigate, and
with his aid, the children were finally
lodged for the night.
Mrs. Ewing appeared at court this
morning, and told the recorder her
story. She said she wanted her hus-
band to support her children. as he
was making money and spending. ii
for liquor. She added that she did
not care about herself, but wanted
the children taken care of by him
The recorder advised Mrs. Ewing to
consult with Overseer of the Poor
Fothergill, and perhaps he would ac-
cept her application for the care of
the children. If this is done, then
the city can prosecute the father for
non-support.

MUST CLOSE SALOONS
OR TAKE CONSEQUENCE
Chief Burke Says He Will See That
Liquor Dealers Who Open During
Voting Hours Will be Punished.

"All the saloons in the city must
close and remain closed between the
hours of l o'clock this afternoon and
O'Clock tonight, or meet the conse-
quences," said Chief Burke, in con-
versation with NEWS reporter this
morning.
"Will you notify them to that eff
fect?" asked the reporter.
"No, will not" replied the chief.
''They know the law, and if they
don't obey 1t, they will be punished
accordingly. If they read the cleo
tion laws. they will see that all hotel
bar rooms and saloons are to be
closed on primary day. l have the
city attorneys opinion on the ques-
tion and he says they win make
themselves liable if they keep open. f"
'Will you arrest them if they don t
obey the law?" further inquired the
reporter,
81 probably WILL" said the chief,
''if find any of them open"
A reporter visited number of sa-
looms this morning, and nearly all of
the proprietors seemed to be of the
opinion that they have a right to
keep open. One keeper said: IF the
saloons in New Brunswick close, then
I'll close"
Another said: 81 never saw q law
to the effect that we had to close"
The majority of the liquor dealers
all protested ignorance to ever hav-
ing heard of law which compelled
them to close their doors on primary
day.
why, in New York city, they new
er close on this day." added one of
them, who had previously said that
he would not close unless the others
did
A few said: eve have had no or
ders to shut up, and why should we
do it, il we were to close and had a
right to keep open, who would stand
the damages?"
The plea of many is that last year
thew were allowed to keep open, and
that they have had no orders to the
contrary, other than "some rowspa-
per talk
The outcome is awaited with inter-
est, and as Chief Burke is a man of
his word, unless some of the liquor
dealers change their views on the
subject, arrests are sure to be made.
At O'Clock today the saloons were
mostly open, although a few of them
who were doubtful as to their rights

TWO MEETINGS
END CAMP PA|GN.
FordyCe Speakers Are Heard by
Good Audiences at James
burg and Dayton.

Last night the speaking campaign
of Col. Fordyce was closed by two
splendid meetings, one at Jamesburg,
the other at Dayton, the home of the
Independent candidate. The James
burg meeting was attended by nearly
100 persons and was addressed by
Hon. George J. Corey and Charles A.
Bloomfield. Mr. Bloomfield's story of
the Amboy bridge interested the peo-
pie of Jamesbufg intensely, and he
was splendidly received.
At Dayton about rs persons stood
outdoors to listen to Rev. w. Dor
ward expound the issues from the
new idea" standpoint. The speakers
at both meetings were heard with in
tense interest and hearty applause
punctured all the telling points OF
their arguments. All were confident
that both places will give good ac-
count of themselves in tonight's re-
turns.

DIFFERENCE
OF OPINION
City Attorney Hicks of New Bruins,
wick Says Voters Can Reg

Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 25.-
There seems to be a difference OF
opinion as to whether voters unregis-
tered can be registered by the cleo
tion boards at the primaries today.
Attorney General McCarter some time
ago decided that they could not be
registered today and the County
Board of Elections held the same
view yesterday when they were asked
about the matter. They so decided
officially. City Attorney Hicks, of
this city, however, holds the opinion
that voters can register today. This
difference may cause considerable
trouble in voting at the primaries.

we'll as policeman, for he set his
soldiers to work blowing up buildings
to save the city from destruction. and
when the last stick of dynamite was
gone he emptied the arsenals at the
Preside. He took it upon himself to
order the Twentieth infantry from
Monterey to reinforce his overworked
command. II shall do everything in
my power to render assistance. ''he tele-

stuck to the letter of the law: 'Work-
ing in conjunction with the civil author
ities," he advised the secretary. In
another dispatch: "You can't send
too many tents or rations."
And Funston was undertaken as we'll
as fireman and policeman. He pressed
every unattached man into service to
dig graves and he picked out part of
the Preside to bury the dead in. In
doing this he was health officer as well
as undertaken. Then there were the
living to feed and shelter. He formed
concentration camps in Golden Gate
park, and one of his dispatches indi-
Gates that he was looking after the
water supply. Working in conjunction
with the civil authorities? In a way,
yes, but the stricken city was really
under martial law, and Gen. Funston
was saving it from anarchy.
Meanwhile his reports of the condi-
tions that tried mems souls were ad-
mirable for clearness and thrift of
expression. Funston had had some ex-
perience in news gathering as well as
soldering. Through the ordeal he
kept his head and never shirked re-
sponsibility. It is true he had the
assistance of capable lieutenants, and

Funston. The achievement transcends
his services in the field and stamps him
as man eminently fit to command.
Peace hath her victories no less re-
