The directors of the Chicago Great

cLERc YMEN DECLARE THE
LAW is BEING VIOLATED

PATTERSON, Sept. 2S-The league
of clergymen that has been organized
here to work in behalf of those menu
bers of the legislature who supported
the bishops liquor bill, and against
those who opposed the measure, is
making an active campaign. The eft
forts of the league are also directed
against the members of the Board of
Aldermen who have failed to take
action against liquor dealers found
guilty of violating the new liquor
law.
There was a well attended meeting
in the Third Presbyterian church
Wednesday night. One speaker said
that for about two months there had
been a slight check placed on Sunday
dissertation by the bishops law, but
that lately the violations were be-
coming more and more open, and the
state of affairs would soon. be worse
than before the passage of the bill.
He said he believed the chief of pol
ice was doing his full duty, but thai
the arrest of offenders was of little
avail If they were only fined and their
licenses were not taken away: The5
could make the amount of d fine Il
la single day. The members Of tbs
league propose to keep up their nghl
until election day.

WEALTHY MAN SHOT.
Clifford Bonneville Shot While on a
Drunken Spree.

HUDSON, II. Y, Sept. 2S.-Clifford
Bonneville, a wealthy resident of the
village of LinIithgo, Is dead here from
wounds from a gun fred by j. Foster
Feller, q fifteen-year-old son Of Deputy
Sheriff John II. Feller.
On Monday, Bonneville, who had
been drinking, 1t Is said, drove his wife
and five children out of doors, and they
sought refuge at the Feller home, the
Fellers being nelghbors. He went to
New York the same day and did not
return until after 8 o'clock at night.
He had evidently been drinking, for he
went home, obtained two revolvers ana
with these went to the Feller house
and pounded OH the door and created a
disturbance. He then went away, Dul
returned to the house and fired u II
let through the door. s,
He had smashed In n panel OF the
door when young Feller from an upper
story window told him to go away.
His answer was to try to aim at the
youth, so the latter says, but he 'was
not quick enough. Feller fired the con
tents Of a double barreled shotgun at
him, MORALLY wounding him, He died
without making any statement. Young
Teller was brought to Hudson by his
father and placed In the custody Of the
sheriff.
The dead man came to Linlithgo two
years ago from New Rochelle. He was
forty.hve years of age and was con-
sidered the richest man In the village.
Clifford Bonneville first discovered
the commercial value of the cement
rock in this vicinity. He bought up
farms all about hero, which he even
tually sold to cement companies.

HELD UP BY
TRAMPS FOR A DIME

CAMDEN, Sept. 2S:-The New
York express of the Pennsylvania
line left here yesterday morning at 9
o'clock. Just before it reached
Twelfth street the engineer saw two
men standing on the track. They
looked like workmen.
The engineer told the police when.
the train crew got back last night
that the men had made no move to
leave the track when the train had
come pretty close to them, and the
engineer threw on the emergency
brakes. The passengers were thrown
about the cars roughly.
When the train had come to a full
stop the two men walked toward the
engineer slowly. The engineer ask
ed them forcibly what they meant by
holding up the New York EXPRESS
The more ragged of the two-the one
with the tomato can on a string
answered calmly:
"Oh, tush; don't get excited"
The other said with dignity:
"All men are born free and equal
and we are your brothers. We have
the solids with which to crafty that
inner man about which the poets
speak, but we have not the liquids.
Ten cents will turn the trick, kind
neighbor. Bread cast upon the wat
ers always comes back. Give us a
dime and we will wish you good luck
or this trip"
The engineer swore ~fervently and
started the train with a jerk. This
time the ragged men moved.

DOG AS WELL AS THE
CAT CAN COME BACK

RAILWAY, Sept. 28:-A small son
of Mr.. and Mrs. ~Josephus Jones, re-
siding in the suburbs of this city,
was bitten by his fathers pet dog
Monday. Mrs. Jones, fearing the
child might die if the dog developed
hydrophobia, gave her husband no
rest until he promised to kill the
canine. Purchasing a large piece of
meat he took it to his druggist and
asked him to fill it with %strychnine.
Taking the prepared supper" home,
Mr.. Jones, late at night, fed it to the
dog, shook hands with the faithful
old friend, babe him 'good-by,"
wished him a safe journey, then,
with tears in his eyes went into the
house and to bed. Nearly all night
he thought or dreamed about the dog
and wondered ii strychnine poisoning
was painful. EARLY yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Jones got up, went down eel
lar for a shovel, parked his limbs on
a coal scuttle and went out to bury
the dog. The doggie met him joyful
ly at the gate and seemed thankful
for his supper. Mr.. Jones was so
glad to find Carlo alive that he fed
him three pounds of b~eefsteak, and

EDISON CEMENT PLANT
Is TO BE ENLARGED.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Al-
though the present capacity of the
Edison cement plant at New Village
is 5000 barrels every tw~enty-four
hours, it is not enough to keep up TO
the. demand for the product of the
mills, and plans have been drawn fc;,
the erection of four more roastefA.!
There are six of the roasters at pres
ent, each with a capacity of 1000
barrels per day. With the new addi-
lions the plant will be able to turn
out 10000 barrels of cement every
twenty-four hours. Eight hundred
men are employed at the mills at
present, and there is a demand for at
least 200 more laborers. AS soon as
the improvements are made, more
skilled mechanics will be needed, but
at present the demand is for labor
ers.
Thomas A. Edison, the inventor Of
the system in use in this plant, and
which is much different from that In
use at other plants, is a frequent Wis
itor at New Village. Mr.. Edison di-
T9clS all tuS improvements, dAu 20
quick to see any defects in the ma
chinery. When he discovers trouble
a change is made Immediately, re-
gardless of cost. Mr.. Edison has all
ways claimed that with his system
cement could be manufactured at a
profit at 81 per barrel. At the pres
ent demand for cement and the prices
secured, the large plant should soon
begin to pay on the investment of
probably $3,0O0,000.

new LAW NOW
EFFECTIVE.
Requirements and Procedure for
Obtaining Final Citizenship
Papers Now More Severe.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. Is
The new naturalization law which
was introduced into the last
by Congressman Howell, took effect
yesterday. Under the new law appli-
cants for citizenship papers must be
able to read and write and speak
English. They will not be able to
make their mark as was permitted
under the old law.
Applicants who have given notice
of their application for final papers
will have to give a new notice. Here
tofore the applicant applied to the
city or township clerk and after Civ
ing fourteen days notice came here
and had their final papers signed. I'm
der the new law the notice must be
for so days and those who have al
ready given notice under the old law,
the fourteen days not being up yet,
will have to renew their notice. This
does not apply to applications for
first papers but for final papers only.
Owing to the length of time for the
new notice being 80 days no applica-
tions for citizenship can now be.
granted in time for the applicant to
vote at the coming election.
The following letter, a copy of
which was sent to County Clerk Con-
ger, explains the matter:
Charles H. Baker, Esq, Clerk of the
Court of Common Pleas, Trenton,
N. J.
Sir:-In response to the question
propounded in your letter of the 21st
instant, you are informed that all Pc
titions for naturalization filed prior
to the 9th instant, when the act of
June 29, 1906, becomes, effective, if
not acted upon by the court, to which
they are presented, before that date,
become void. The petitioners in such
IA will be compelled in order to Sc
cure naturalization, to file new petit
tions under the provisions of the
above mentioned act, as though they
had taken no steps subsequent to the
declaration Of intention for the pur-
pose heretofore.
Respectfully,
T. H. HARMED,
Acting Commissioner General.

.CULLUD CEM'MEN IN AN
ARGUMENT WITH WIFE.

A mar telephoned to the police sta
ton at 10 o'clock last night and said
that a fight was in progress on Me-
chanic street. Patrolman L.. G. Jen-
sen was sent to investigate the case
at once. On arriving he found that
the trouble was at 8 Mechanic street,
between Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon, colored.
They both told the patrolman a diff
ferent story, and wanted each other
arrested, but finally quieted down,
and promised to be ~peaceable.
The couple, it seems, became en-
gagged in an argument which result
ed In blows, and during the scuffie
some dishes were broken. One of
the dishes somehow cut Mrs. Dixon's
hand, and she claimed that her hus-
band did it.

May CARRY
EIGHT AUTOS
New Order of the Rapid Transit
R. R.. Raises Limit on the
FerryhOat Warren.

A new order has been received by
the captain of the ferryboat Warren,
to the effect that from today eight
automobiles may be carried on a sim
gle trip. Heretofore the rule has
been 10 carry but six. The change
will be much welcomed by. the auto
mobilists travelling across the sound,
as oftentimes they have been COM
PEELED to wait a half hour or an hour
for the next trip or pay for a specisI
trip to convey them across the sound.
The number of autos on frequent
Sundays and holidays this summer,
however, has often compelled the fer
ry officials to disregard the limit Of
six.

MORE CARS ARE
PROMISED SOON

To lessen the great shortage of
grain cars on the Lehigh Valley and
Reading system, President George r.
Baer promised the Philadelphia Com
mercial Exchange yesterday to put
100 additional freight cars into SER
vice for the exclusive use of grain
men, between Buffalo and Philadel-
phia.
The Transportation Committee of
the Commercial Exchange, headed by
the chairman, George M. Warner,
visited Mr.. Baer and showed the
Reading president how handicapped
the grain men are at the present time
by being unable to move their con-
signment of wheat out of Buffalo.
They declared that they were not get
ting one-tenth the number of cars
needed to ship the eastward moving
seasons crop, and that they were
suffering a loss of thousands of dol
lars by the tie-up.
At the conclusion of the confer
ence Mr.. Baer agreed to take 100
cars from other parts of the railroad
to try to relieve matters.
Every steamer and train Is bring
ing into Buffalo a vast volume of
JUN gram lIOll LIS WSoC. lHlS oSd-
son of the year is the grain shippers
biggest time. 1t has overwhelmed
the Lehigh Valley and swamped their
freight handling facilities. The adj
ditional cars will be sent there i'm
mediately. They will be loaded with
grain, SEN to Philadelphia, and then
return empty to Buffalo for more
grain until the congestion is over.
Even one hundred additional cars,
grain men say, will not be enough.
1t would require three hundred cars
a day, according to their calculations,
to handle the trade.
