CONDITIONS HORRIBLE
SAYS THE INSPECTOR.
Health Board Official Visited Sec.
tiOns Of North AmbOy Yesterday
---SeWers Are Needed Badly. d

If the aldermen so desire a sewer
could be constructed in the said street
at their option without the consent OF
property owners.
On a whole the conditions are un~
sanitary and unless the matter re-
ceives consideration, a plague in
North Amboy will probably be the
result.
At the next meeting of the school
board, the inspector will recommend
that medical system of inspection
be established in the schools.
At present, child having a dis
ease associates with hundreds of heal
thy children, and it seems remarkable
that no scourge has ever yet visited
the schools. With a medical inspeo7
tor and room for the examination
the risk would be done away witht
and sick child, having scarlet fevera
or some other contagious disease
could be sent home before the other
children had chance to associate
with it.
Parts of the new code are being
printed on circulars, and the idea is
to send it to all homes where sick<
ness reigns, that they may take props
er precautions as to the spreading of
the same, also to separate the sles<
from the well: .,..,..,.., -
The new circulars are a partial
copy Of the State Board of Health,
and are headed, Restrictions OF the
Spreading of Infectious Diseases.
A copy of them will be submitted
to the board for its approval at the
next meeting.
A copy of the plumbers codiclI VIII
be mailed shortly to all in the citys
stating the restrictions.

FELL THROUGH
PLATE GLASS.

Aaron Dietz, partner OF the hrm
of Golman & Dietz, who keep cloth
ing store at 424 State street, fell
through a plate glass window and
was severely cut this morning.
Mr.. Dietz was in the window of his
store removing some old fixtures,
when the bolts on the upper part of
ssts7s frdde ef 4if wittiirfr he was stand
ing gave way, and he fell against the
window. The heavy gla s failed to
hold his weight.
[ Lewis Berger, who is the manager
of the store, saw the accident and
rushed outside. He found Mr.. Dietz
lying bleeding on the stone entrance
outside of the store. He was quick
ly carried to his home upstairs over
the store, where he was attended by
DR.. James Stafford, who spent nearly
two hours dressing the mans many
wounds.
A Newark plate glass firm had a
number of men at the place this
morning to replace one of the front
windows, and Mr.. Dietz was getting
ready for them at the time of his
accident.

Health Inspector G. w. Fithian, ac-
companied by Policeman John w.
Meshrow yesterday, made tour of
Charles street. The inspector was
amazed at the frightful condition of
the cutters, and the refuse that lit
tered the street. At the corner of
Charles and Huntington streets, the
center of the road contained large
puddle of mud and filth, and the lives
of the people living nearby are con-
stantly endangered.
DR.. Fithian, although only recent
ly appointed, has devoted much time
to the sewage system of North Am
boy, and he said this morning that
unless something was done immedi-
ately, the conditions would be un-
bearable. A number of residents on
charles street claim that three years
ago they petitioned for sewer, and
for that reason they have never built
cesspools, having, of course, the sew
er in view.
Inspector Fithian has already
talked with President Victor Main, of
the health board, and he is favorable
to the plan, that the health board
recommend to the board of alder
men that a sewer is badly needed on
Charles and Cortland streets. There
is now a sewer in Elizabeth street
but it is completely ste 1ped up. about
seven or eight inches of sand being
found in one of the man holes yes
terday.
The inspector will recommend to
the board at their next meeting that
a sewer be built in Charles street to
connect with the seven foot trunk
sewer north of Gadek's.

Three saloons were found open
last night after IL o'clock. One of
the places was that of s. Splitter, at
Smith and state streets. A number
of prominent citizens were seen in
this resort at 12:45 this morning,
and beer and whiskey were being
dispensed over the bar at that time.
A number of witnesses have been Sc
cured to prove this fact, and Chief
Burke has asked the city attorney to
draw up acomplaint against S. Spit
ger, Albert Balabas, of 81 Charles
street. and Daniel Kelly, at once.

EXCESSIVE DRINKING
LED TO COUNTY JAIL.

Nels Sorensen, thirty-flve years old,
was taken from Ole Olesen's livery
stable at AZ Smith street, last night,
by Policeman Lawrence Long.
Sorensen was suffering with delir-
ium tremens, and was in a bad con-
dition. He was at the time of his ar
rest almost crazy from fear, saying
that he was being chased by man
with a knife. At the station house
this morning he trembled like leaf,
and from all appearances looked the
charge against him. He was given
thirty days in the county jail to re-
cuperate.

Secretary of War Fires Opening
Gun in North Carolina
Campaign.
POLITICAL QUESTIONS.
Talks on the Subjects Before the
American People of Today, and
Advises Party Rank and File i'm
North Carolina to Work-Marks
the beginning of the Congressional
Campaign in the Southern States.

GREENSBORO, n. c., July TO-
Secretary of War Taft last night, be-
fore q meeting of the North Carolina
Republicans on the eve of their state
convention, delivered a speech that
was generally anticipated as the open
ing gun of the congressional campaign
of 1906 The speech dealt with current
political questions and, opening with
advice to the rank and file of the party
in North Carolina and the south, par
ticularly referred to the achievements
of the party in the session of congress
just closed.
Secretary Taft in opening said that
when he was invited to address the
meeting the committee advised him
"that the political situation was such
that IL proper effort was made at
the coming election 1t would be possi-
BILE to carry the state for the Repub-
lican party" The secretary added: Il
believe that nothing that could happen
In the politics of this country would
work greater advantage to the country
at large, and to the south in particular
than the breaking up of what has been
properly known as the solid SOUTH
saw this in no partisan spirit for l am
not one of those who think that this
result would necessarily increase the
probability of the continuance in pow
er of the Republican party. The solid.
ity of the south has in measure fur
nished its own antidote in restraining
many voters in the north who might
have left the Republican party but foI

FIRST COMPLAINT FOR
EXCISE VIOLATIONS.
Three Sa|oonkeepers Accused oil
Keeping Saloons Opened After
Midnight and Selling Drinks.

In Balabas' place, not only was
beer and whiskey being sold, but
gambling with dice was also in evil
dence.
These are the first places that have
broken the new excise law, and an
example will probably be made of
them, testing the validity of the new
law.
If nothing can be done with these
keepers from the legal standpoint, it
would be useless to attempt further
enforcing. At all events the three
named parties will have to stand
trial, and show cause for their guilt.
