by Electlng q Democratic House TO SUP
port His Reform Measures.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-William j. Bryan
has written a letter to Chairman Griggs of
the Democratic Congress campaign COM
mittee, in which he declares hat the best
way in which to support the President is to
elect q Democratic House, for the reason
that Democrats have given the Presidents
reform measures more loyal support than
AVE members of his own party. He Jays
in the letter:
The indications are that we shall have
the next Congress. and then our Democratic
House can send to the Senate remedial
measures and join issue with the Republi-
cans il they refuse to adopt them. The
Republicans are SO under the control Of
predatory wealth that they will not support
the President when he attempts to follow
Democratic advice and secure some reform.
"The President doe not go far enough
OF fast enough in the direction Of reform,
but his political associates are all the time
throwing obstacles in his way. The best
way to support the President ia to elect
Democrats in the place of Republicans, for
their record shows that the Democrats
nave stood by him better in the Senate
and House than the Republicans have

The ~shipyards Of Brown 4 Sons at Totem
vile were destroyed by fire last night. The
yards extend from the Amboy road near the
ferry to Perth Amboy, a distance Of half a
mile. They were full Of timbers and material
Of all kinds and there were several boats
under construction.
The flames started in a two story frame
building at the north end of the plant.
A strong wind carried the fire to a large
steam dredge, which was on the ways and
about ~two-thirds constructed. From the
dredge the fire spread to half q dozen
auxiliary oyster sloops which were being
built or repaired and also TO the sheds and
to the stored timbers on the landward side
OF the yards.
The firemen were called but could do little.
The nearest hydrant was 40 FAR away that
il was Of little use and the flames shut on the
steamer from the only good position for
taking water from the bay.
The loss is estimated at about $780, 600.
The police are making ar investigation into
the origin Of the fire. The managers OF
the plant say there had been 10 FIRE in the
buildings during the day. and besides this
the flames did not show themselves until
$50, almost an hour after the last OF the
EMPLOYEES had left.

strong has been in charge OF Bellevue for
about a year and 1t il alleged by somo
that his reform measures have been over
severe.
The presence Of the Corporation Counsel
at the meeting Yesterday, IT. WAS rnmcred
last night, had been caused by the fact that
DIR. Armstrong had been asked to resign,
had refused and IL was necessary to get a
legal opinion as to what course should be
followed. None of the members OF the
board could be prevailed upon to divulge
the nature OF the business transacted.
DIR. Armstrong is a civil service APP
pointee and a veteran Of the civil war.
Therefore he cannot be removed unless
charges are preferred against him. His

the crash returned and offered assistance.
The Panhard was wrecked. Mrs. Turner
was placed in the other machine and brought
four miles to this place. She was accom-
panied by Mr.. Palmer. After going about
town In a fruitless ell ort to find a physician
to care for the injured woman, he was re-
ferred to the Somerset Hospital, a small
institution supported by the charity Of the
townspeople.
Mrs. Turner was taken in and 80 well
cared for there that Mr.. Palmer, who
remained near the institution for a
week, decided to do it a good turn. Mr.
Palmer's IS, 900 is the largest windfall that
the hospital has ever received.

The appearance of clever swind-
lcr in our city recently posing as an
officer of the United States Navy, who
successfully passed "a number OF
worthless checks ON number of ouI
merchants emphasizes the fact that
the uniform of our navy is considered
a sufficient guarantee to honesty,
uprighness and integrity.
The honesty of this man was not ques-
toned because of the uniform he wore.
4 stranger presenting checks and
wearing the dress of civilian must
be identified. The schemer doubtless
realized this and in some way secured
the uniform as guarantee of good
faith. and an insignia of honesty and
uprightness for which it usually
stands.
In this instance, however.it covered
thief and a forger, and, perhaps. a
multitude of other sins. The clothes
man wears do not always symbol
