Burglars Entered the Saloon Of
Joseph Gadek in State Street
This Morning.
WERE FRIGHTENED OFF.
Police Were Notified at Once.
Mr.. Gadek Saw Two Men,.
Might Identify Them.

Another attempt to blow a safe
in this city was made shortly before
O'Clock this morning when bur
glars entered the saloon of Joseph
Gadek, at Pulaski Park, in upper
State street, near the lead works, and
tried to blow the doors off of the safe
with nitroglycerine.
They succeeded only in getting the
outer door of the safe off, when they
were scared away by the movements
of Mr.. Gadek, who had been awak-
ened by the noise of the explosion.
Mr.. Gadek saw two men running
off in northerly direction, towards
Maurer. He at once went to the tel
ephone and notified the police. Mr..
Gadek said this morning that the
two men whom he saw running were
short and of stoclly build, and wore
derby hats.
The safe, a good-sized one, con-
tanned upwards of $500. 1t stands
in the barroom.
The burglars gained entrance by
the front door of the saloon Mr.
Gadek lives upstairs and thus heard
the sound of the explosion.
A tall man who may have been a
companion of the two short men
seen by Mr.. Gadek was noticed act
ing suspiciously earlier in the night
and was chased by Patrolmen Han
son and Quinlan.
An investigation of the attempted
burglary was instituted this morning
A window was broken by the force
of the explosion, which could be
heard for some distance.
A spade, a coil of rope, an iron
spike and wooden handle, appar-
entity from chisel or similar tool
were found in the place near the safe
after the robbers had gone. The
spade and rope are presumed to have
been stolen from some other build
ing by the burglars before they wen
to Gadeks. Neither appears to have
ever been used very much. All o1
tn found articles are at police head
quarters.

Some Gossip about the Visit Of
Governor Stokes to Pres
ident Roosevelt.
REMAIN IN THE PARTY.
Think He Is Hurting Himself as
Well as Republican Cause
by His Actions.
tFrom the NEWS corrcsponde..t)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-There
will be all kinds ofspeculation regard
ing the interview Saturday between
President Roosevelt and Governor
Stokes and Senator Dryden. This is
only natural. When seen after the
lunch the Governor said: "The lun-
cheon was delightful and the inter-
view most satisfactory" This is all
he cared to say for publication. 1t
is significant, nevertheless. To draw
differences from the statement it may
be understood that henceforth Mr..
Roosevelt will look to the men who
stood the hard campaign work in New
Jersey in 1905 and made possible
such a handsome majority that he
received.
DO Not Object to Colby.
1t is not believed that the state
republican leaders object to Colby,
Pagan or Record on personal
grounds. On the other hand it is
also believed that if they are sin
cere in their professions they should
take the leaders into their conf
ueuce anu UOl set ABOUT 10 10TH all
other party, such as the Colby re-
publicans," and then claim to be
straight republicans" In kicking
over the party traces" they do them
selves harm as well as the party, and
1t is this characteristic of their eff
forts that is not viewed with favor
by the real leaders in New Jersey.
Anxious to Serve the People.
These men are anxious to carry
out the will of the people. At the
same time they believe it should be
done through the regular organiza-
ton. Governor Stokes, in his mes
sage, gave the legislature the live
issues and questions that must be
met, and his utterances were approx
state. There is not the slightest rea-
son for Colby, Record or Fagan
starting an opposition party, but on
the contrary the reforms they have
been advocating can be best accom-
plished through the agency of the
organization. c. S. A.

NEWARK, Jan 29.-Bishop Ed
win S. Lines of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of Newark, declined
yesterday to express any views in re-
gard to the conference of Catholic
priests and clergymen of all other
denominations from every section of
New Jersey TO be held in Trenton
this afternoon TO take action on a
proposed bill Cor better regulation
Of the saloon business.
II have received an invitation to
attend the conference" he said, and
| will do so. ] do not care to discuss
the matter now, as ! have no fixed
views to express. After the confer
ence, when | know all about the
movement and understand what it is
proposed TO accomplish, I may have
some views"
Besides Bishop Lines, a score or
more of leading clcrgymen of New
ark, including Bishop John J. O'Con-
nor and several Roman Catholic
priests, will go to Trenton to attend
the conference. With those from
Trenton and other parts of New Jer-
sey. it is expected that the meeting
will be the biggest and most repre-
sentative gathering of clergymen
ever held in the state. Invitations
to attend have been accepted by
Bishop McFaul, of the Roman Cath
olic diocese of Trenton, and Bishop
Scarborough, of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese which has it's head
quarters in Trenton.
Newark clergymen are in favor of
the proposed bill which has been
prepared in the rough through Vicar
General John A. Sheppard. of Jersey
City, under the direction of Bishops
O'Connor and McFaul. 1t will pro-
vide for a saloon license fee of ST.
900, the limitation of the number of
saloons in a given territory, the pun
ishment of saloon keepers by a heavy
fine for selling beer or liquor to min
ors, the punishment of persons send
ing children for liquors, and for the
adjustment of the back room and
side room evils, which are now main
tained in connection with many sa-
looms
Tomorrow another big delegation
of Newarkers, including a score or
more of clergymen and more than a
hundred prominent laymen. will go
to Trenton to attend a hearing to be
held at noon on a local option bill
which has already been introduced
in the Legislature. The bill is de-
clared to be purely a home rule
measure. There is much opposition
TO it in many quarters, and it is eX-
pected that strong opposition to the
bill, which is TO be prepared in Tren-
ton today by the clergymen, will also
develop.
The liquor and brewery interests
of the state are watching il closely.
They will fight the $1,000 license fee
provision harder than any other, it
is declared.
Thomas C. Hayes. of Newark,
president of the New Jersey State
Retail Liquor Dealers Association,
said:
'Ali he saloon men will ask is
fair play at the hands of the clergy.
As TO the matter of selling to minors
and the side room evil we will help
to suppress it with as much strength
as Will any other body of men. We
want our business kept up to a clean
ard legitimate basis and any reason
able legislation will not be objected

HEARINGS ON
BIG MEASURES
Legislators at Trenton Will Hear
the Arguments for and Against
important Bills.

TRENTON, Jan. 29.--This week s
session of the Legislature is likely to
be devoted principally TO the holding
of hearings on the bills already in
troduced and the following week
may see action in both the Senate
and House on some of the most i'm
portant of the reform measures.
The hearings arranged for this
week include one on the Hillery tax
law repealers. one on the proposed in
vestisation of insurance companies,
trust companies, savings and State
banks, and one on the local option
bill, with possibly q hearing on the
much-discussed FreIinghuysen auto
mobile measure.
The Hillery maximum tax rate re-
pcaler hearing was started last week
and will be completed this afternoon.
This law was passed last winter at
he instance of Governor Stokes and
the Governor and his friends are anN-
ious that the law shall have fair
rial. They have adjusted them
selves to the new conditions. The
present unlimited tax rates tend to
encourage extravaganza in municipal
lffairs, according to the advocates OF
the Hillery law.
Opposing Investigations.
The proposition for an investiga-
lion OF the insurance and banking
companies, which is being urged by
senator Colby and AssemblNman
Martin, of Essex county, is strongly
,ombatted by financial interests Of
he Commonwealth. II is urged that
here is no necessity for such an in
.estigation and that it would only
listurb business and make depositors
and investors suspicious and afraid
to place their money in circulation.
1t is reasoned that all the insurance
comnanies doing business here have
been well probed in the New York
INVESTIGATION and that there is no need
of further inquiry along this line
The State Commissioner of Banking
and Insurance has recommended scv-
eral minor changes in the laws Gov
ering trust companies and saving
banks, and with the enactment OF
these better conditions could not be
asked.
Local Option Opposed.
The local option hearing will also
be held Tuesday at noon by the
House Committee on Municipal Cor
porations, of which Assemblyman
ocovel, OF Camden, is the chairman.
There is much opposition throughout
the state 10 the enactment of local
option and the bill is not likely TO be
passed, although the church and tenn
per8nce people are strongly urging
its enactment
No time has yet been fixed for the
automobile hearing. Autoists of New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania
are watching this measure and when
a hearing is announced mighty
demonstration will be made. The
bill will not be passed in its present
drastic shape and may be defeated al
together.
