THIEVES Get IN
PACKER HOUSE.

Thieves entered the kitchen of the
Packer House last night by first cut
ting through a screen door and then
smashing the lock of the inner door.
After entering the burglars took
everything of value in the kitchen
and even stole food that was in the
icebox. This is the third time in two
months that the hotel has been enter
ed, and each time the circumstances
were the same.
Proprietor Floersch notified the
police this morning, and investiga-
tions are being made by Chief Burke,
who thinks he knows the guilty par
ties.

FINISHED IN TWO WEEKS
New Jersey Paving Company Proved
to be Rapid Workers.

A representative of the Jersey
Paving Company said, yesterday, that
they would have all their work in
this city completed in two weeks, and
would be out of town by that time.
This statement means that the con-
crete retaining wall will be finished,
Smith street entirely paved, and the
wooden block laid in the trolley track
on Smith street between State and
High streets.
The paving company since coming
to this city has, besides paving Madi-
son avenue with brick, also laid a
number of telephone conduits for the
Perth Amboy Conduit Company.
All the work has been rapidly fin
ished and the concern deserves credit
for their style of business.

SOCIALISTS ACTIVE
Many Bills to be Proposed to the
Legislature by Social Dem
ocratic Members
DON'T EXPECT BILLS TO PASS

Six Social Democratic members of
the next Legislature will be charged
with the task of presenting about
fifty bills which will set before the
people Of Wisconsin in tangible form
the entire immediate program of So
cia1 Democracy.
These bills will set forth the Social
Democratic attitude toward labor, to-
ward public service corporations and
public ownership and operation of
them, toward public health and all
that pertains to that subject, toward
the judiciary and government in gen
eral.
Some of these bills will be extreme
ly radical and will be introduced with
no hope Of their passage, but purely
for purposes of agitation. Some of
them the Social Democrats hope to
pass with the aid Of Republicans and
Democrats alike. The program covers
a broad range, running from compul-
sorry. insurance to the abolition of the
United States senate.
The state council of the Social Dem
cratic party met and outlined a pro-
gram for legislation, including bills
and resolutions:
For the better protection Of life and
limb Of laboring men ia all trades
and industries.
For the further regulation Of child
LABOR.
For the regulation of woman labor.
Fer compulsory insurance for work
ing men, including old age and sick
berefits.
For a constitutional amendment to
permit cities, counties and townships
Ito acquire the ownership Of public
utilities by issuing bonds and pledg
ing the utilities themselves as secur-
tiles for the bonds.
For better building laws, requiring
more light and better ventilation and
forbidding the renting Of Easements
for dwelling purposes.
For stopping the further sale Of
public lands and the converting into
public parks all lands now held by
the sIdLe, Tor the refOreSter1ng OF de-
nnded state lands, for the acquiring
by the state of additional tracts of
cut-over lands and the reforestering
of them, all in order that the rainfall
and the headwaters Of the rivers of
the state may be protected, anu that
future generations may be supplied
with lumber.
For the building of permanent roads
under state and county supervision
that Wisconsin may have roads like
those of Germany and France.
For the regeneration of civil and
Grim AL Jurisprudence, to the end
that the abuses which now give the
rich man an advantage over the poor
man in the courts may be corrected
and that the evils ia the police court
system may be corrected.
