METHOD
OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Crowded People Into Smaller Car
Grew Refused to Move Until
All We're Off of Platform.
Special to the EVENING NEWS

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. IA
crowded car of people in one of the
Public Service. cars stood an hour on
a siding here yesterday afternoon be-
fore the crew from Newark would
move the ear toward New York. The
people had come, here ON one of the
red cars of the Trenton and New
Brunswick fast line, and bound
for Newark and New York. Upon
the car reaching here they were
obliged to change, and the new car
was smaller than the red car, with
the result that the car was crowded
to overlooking, and because the peo-
pie would not go inside off the plat
form the crew would not move the
car. They claimed they had received
orders from Jersey City not to start
the car in that condition. Several of
the passengers threatened to bring
suit against the company for dam
ages. The crew would not give their
names, but the car was number 1913
and the number Of the motorman's
badge was 271, and that of the con
ductor AS. The car got off after an
hours delay with the passengers
crowded inside, many of them women
and children, like s~ardines in a box.

TO
Be CANDIDATE
Former Sheriff Said TO be Favor
ed by Ross George S. SiIzer
a Probable Man.

LfENNLs
Under a New Brunswick date line,
the Newark Sunday Call publishes
the following concerning democratic
politics in this county:
THE big factional row in the re-
publican party, caused by the appear
ance of eX-Assemblyman Fordyce as
a Colby candidate for state senator,
has almost obscured the public's gaze
from a modest little campaign going
on among the democrats to see who
will be their choice to represent Mid
dlesex in the upper house at Trenton.
The old Ross power is still SUI
preme in the democratic party, and
Willard f. Ross, son of the late ex-
congressman, holds the deciding vote
in democratic councils, no matter
how many r arrayed against him.
But he has a habit of feeling the par
tvs pulse before making his wishes
known, and candidates who want to
appeal to him always try to play
their cause up good and strong be-
fore him.
Whenever there is an important
office to be filled, there is sure to be,
early in the campaign, a tentative
announcement of a Ross candidate.
Then a few weeks are profitably
spent seeing how the people take to
the idea. If there isn't too much OPP
position the Ross candidate gets
the nomination. $50
"The Ross candidate for senator,
it is unofficially announced, is to be
former Sheriff George J. Litterst, of
this city. Litterst is q popular fell
low, able to contribute to campaign
funds the way the MiddleseX democ-
racy enjoys and can command a
large Independent vote. He isn't i'm
mune from attacks ni Net, republi-
cans say his nomination would invite
a kind OF criticism not conducive to
a clean campaign. tBut Uitterst's
friends say he desires nothing better
than a political campaign in which
his enemies will give him the oppor-
itunity to set himself entirely straight
before the public.
IF Litterst is not acceptable
enough to the democracy to be fore
ed upon it, it is not likely that Mr..
Ross a stave off any longer the de-
mands of County Chairman George
S. Silzer for the place at the head of
the county ticket. Three years ago
Mr.. Silzer started out for the nominal
ton, independent of the Rosses, and
would probably have won out but for
the fact that his party looked upon
his candidacy as the result of a CON
troversy between him and Mayor
George A. Viehmann, the Ross can
didate, in which Mr.. Viehmann was
clearly in the right. But now Vieh-
mann and Silzer have made up The
German democracy, split between
Viehmann and Silzer three years ago,
is all behind Silver this time. Silzer is
very strong in the party and would
probably poll the full party vote, if
anybody could"

TRIP ABROAD
FOR BISHOP M'FAUL
Sailed from New York Saturday
Accompanied by Rev. Father
Murray.

/ Bishop James A. McFaul, accom-
panied by the Rev. John e. Murray,
of Pennington, sailed from New York
Saturday on the st. Louis of the
American line on an extended tour OF
the foreign countries. While away the

places. They are undecided as to the
length of their tour, and may not

deposits amounting to about $4.OO0.O00

TURNS DOWN
THE REQUEST
Central Railroad Refuses TO Give
Perth AmbOy Any Better
Accommodations.

The petition which has been cir
| eulating among the business men OF
| the city for signers to secure better
train service to New York in the af-
| ternoon on the Jersey Central rail
| road. was forwarded to the general
passenger agent by Alexander G..
Walker, of the Chesebrough Manu-
featuring Company, during the early
part of last week. Mr.. Walker has
received a reply in which the rail-
road declined to make any changes
in the service between this city and
New York.
There were one hundred signers to
the petition, comprising nearly all
the factory wne and other large
business corporations. A copy of the
railroads reply is as follows:
Mr.. Alex c. Walker,
Chesebrough Mfg. Co.,
Perth Amboy, n. ].
Dear Sir:
Petition signed by yourself and
others regarding afternoon train SER
vice. Perth Amboy to New York, is
received. 1t is our earnest desire 10
give patrons the best service consist
ent with the volume of traffic, but
you will appreciate that in the ad-
of a time schedule, the re-
quirements of all sections served
must be given consideration, and the
demands of the majority first con-
sidered. The fast increasing traffic
on train No. 800 and the necessity
of relief for the proper protection of
the long-haul traffic served, has been
a subject of concern for some time.
a,,l Vptfh Chon on nf time nffnotiUn
June "a, it was found necessary to
remove local stops north of Red
Bank. In order to not seriously dis
commode hat section, however, a
relief train in the form of No. 36S
was established, and in order to ac-
complish this without unnecessary
increased cost of operation, the
equipment and of former train
No. 800 was used, as the latter train
was running very light. 1t is true
that No. 36S has made certain poor
performances since established, but
this has been due primarily to draw
bridge delays, which you appreciate
are entirely beyond Il control. and
which would have happened had No.
800 been continued on her old sched-
ule.
We regret to note that the slight
notifications do not meet the APP
prevail of your local section, but
with a view of properly protecting
the interests of all districts served.
II does not seem good policy at this
time to return to the former sched-
ule.
Yours truly,
c. M. BURT ..
General Passenger Agent.
