BIG STEEL PLANT
FORMALLY OPENED.

Formal opening of the big new
eight million dollar steel works of
Millillen Brothers took pace at Mar
iner's Harbor yesterday afternoon,
when a party of about fifty persons,
bankers and men prominent in the
building world, took trip from Man
haitian to Staten Island and were
shown about the ITO acres of land
which the plant comprises.
The party left Manhattan on the
steamer Commodore, from the foot
of Wall street, and proceeded to Mar
iner's Harbor. On the trip luncheon
was served, and when the party ar
rived at the works they were shown
about by Mr.. Milliken. The power
house, one of the largest in the coun-
try; the finishing mills, storehouse,
riveting and punch and layout shops
were all looked over. by the party,
which then again boarded the boat
and was taken back to New York.
. The big plant is the third largest
of its kind in this country and was
three years in building. The plani
represents an outlay of more than
$S,000,000.

POLICE SALARY MATTER
WAS NOT DECIDED.
Aldermen Let Matter Go Over Be-
cause Of City Attorneys Absence
Chiefs Pay in the Air.

The police pay question was not
brought up at the committee meeting
of the council last night. Acting
Mayor Pfeiffer said this morning that
the city attorney did not arrive at
the meeting until after 10 o'clock last
night, and on account of the lateness
of the hour, the matter was not de-
cided.
'As the police would not get their
raise until December L." said Mr..
Pfeiffer, 1--WE will take up the mat
ter at our next committee meeting.
The police will not receive the in
creased salary until December Is, so
there is plenty of time to adjust the
matter"
Mr.. Pfeiffer when asked what his
views were on the salary Chief Burke
should receive said he had not yet
formed an opinion.

MAY INCREASE
SIZE OF PLANT
Success of Enterprise Leads Of

Light Co., TO Consider II.
ALL LIGHTS ARE NOW TAKEN.
Packer House and Two Large Stores
Were Lighted by Current of the
Independent Concern Last Night
and Linemen Are at Work Today
Connecting Up More Business
Places Owned by Stockholders.

1t is understood that the directors
of the Citizens Electric Light, Heat
and Power Company are contemplate
ing doubling the size of their present
plant. The project has been talked
over by number of the stockholders
who are said to be in favor of the
plan.
At the present time many othei!
merchants not interested in the Citi
zens' company are anxious to secure
the light at the reduced rate, but can
not do SO, as all the lights have been
contracted for by the stockholders.
The total capacity of the present
plant is about 1000 lights. If the
size of the plant was doubled, power
could be supplied in the day time, and
the light could be supplied to any
number of consumers at night. The
frs. series of stock was sold some
time ago, but if the new project is
decided on, the second series will
probably be issued at once. The first
shares sold rapidly, and many of

last night. The proprietors of each
of the places say the light was ex-
cellent and that they were greatly
pleased with it. The linemen are al
work today and expect to connect 9
number of other stores before night.
Superintendent Albert Buys said this
morning that the plant so far had run
without a hitch, and that the syste..l
had proved successful. A few second

these are expected to be ready in a

WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE BY
JUMPING FROM COUNTY BRIDGE
Seamstress Rendered Unsound in
Mind by Disappointment in Love
PIunges Into the Icy Water.
SWAN ASHORE.

Miss Thora Christian Jensen, a
dressmaker, thirty-five years old, liv-
ing at As Grant street, attempted sui
eide at o'clock last night by jump
ing from the Amboy bridge.
When she felt the icy waters
touch, however, she struck out and
swan ashore, near the foot of Sheri
dan street. She was seen by Joseph
and Mike kantro, of Herbert street,
who helped her to the boiler room at
the Chesebrough plant. The author
tiles were notified as it was seen that
the woman was not in her right mind.
Patrolman Chris Hanson went to
the vaseline works and took the wo-
man to the police station, where she
was held until this morning. She is
Danish and could only speak through
an interpreter. Patrolman Hanson
did the questioning and to him Miss
Jensen told the following story:
Il was tired of everything in life.
Nothing seemed to go right, and de-
cided to end it ALL Life to me was
not worth living. / left my home at
As Grant street, where roomed with
a family named Hanson, at about
$50 o'clock. | went to the new
bridge, walked out quite a way and,
after climbing over the rail, jumped
into the water. | went down three
times, but when | came to the sur
face the third time, | knew that my
time had not come, so l swan for
shore"
The woman told the story to the
policeman without any hesitation,
and seemed disappointed over her
failure to end her existence.
Acting City Physician DR.. M. s
Meinzer was sent for shortly after
she had been taken to the police sta
ton and after a short examination
he pronounced her to be demented.
Patrolman Hanson was sent to the
woman's S residence at IS Grant street,
and secured her clothes, which were
turned over to her at the police sta
tion.
Miss Jensen is a tall, wiry woman,
and seems to possess great strength,
as the long swim in the icy waters
last night proved. 1t is said that she
came to this country only short time
ago, and that her troubles was over
the loss of lover. She was a Sal
vation Army worker in Denmark for
a number Of years.
Miss Jensen was examined this
morning by DR.. W. e. Ramsay and
DR.. 4. l.. Lund. They pronounced her
mentally deranged. The recorder
committed her to the state asylum
at Trenton. An atache from the city
marshal's office and Mrs. Rasmussen,
a nurse, took her to Trenton.

MANY AUTOS
PASS THROUGH
Two Hundred Touring Cars Cross
Ferry on Way TO Prince
ton Football Game.
HAD OVER TWENTY ON A TRIP.
Large Touring Cars Presented "a Gay
Appearance Bedecked with the
Blue of Yale and the Orange and
Black OF Princeton-Great Annual
Gridiron Eattle on New Jer-
sey Territory This Afternoon.

Very nearly two hundred au-
tomobiles passed through this city
today en- route to the Prince
ton Yale football game. Most of
them were large touring cars, flying
the Princeton or Yale colors. Owing
to the large number that wanted to
cross from Staten Island to this city
the ferry officials waived the com
pany's rule allowing only eight au-
tomobiles on trip.
The number of machines which ar
rived at the Tottenville ferry entrance
exceeded the expectations of the fer
ry officials and the circumstances
rule limiting the number Of autos to
be carried on each trip to be disre-
garded, as the frequency with which
the Warren makes trips, according
to the new time schedule, leaves but
little time between for any special
trips. Three or four special trips
were necessary, however.
The autos passed up Smith street
to State street and out New Bruns-
wick avenue in straight line, flying
the colors of Yale and Princeton with
flags and ribbons. AS they passed
out of this city the chauffeurs let out
their speed and it was merry race
over the country roads. There will
be an equally large number return
ing to New York late this afternoon
and tonight.
On the way to this city today
twenty or more cars were transported
on each of several trips of the ferry
boat Warren.
Two machines which had passed
through this city collided near High
land Park and man was knocked
out of one of the machines. SO many
passed through New Brunswick that
the police were kept busy warning
pedestrians and drivers of wagons of
the approach of the machines.
Twelve special trains of ten cars
each passed through New Brunswick
on the way to Princeton filled with
people, and the Pennsylvania railroad
schedule was greatly hampered.
