TRANSPORT AFIRE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. /, 1906-Fire
is reported on the United States army
transport Meade, which is lying at the
foot of Folsom street. The Meade was
to have sailed this morning for Manila
with the Second Infantry and two bat
talions of artillery. 81
-Four lives are reported to have been
lost and many injured have been treated
at the hospital.
The FIRE started in the forward hold,
where several hundred barrels of lime
were stored and spread rapidly The
fumes of the burning lime spread through
the ship and made it next to impossible
for the firemen to reach the flames. Most
of the casualties were caused BY these
gasses, which overcame the officers of the
vessel and iremen while they We're try
ing to get d stream on the blaze. &
Practically The whole fire department
of the city, including the fireboats Gov.
Markham and Gov. Erwin, is engaged in
trying to stop the fire, which is not yet
reported under control. The vessel has
settled several feet as a result Of the
water which has been pumped into her.
The greatest efforts are being made to
prevent the blaze reaching a quantity of
ammunition which is stored in the after
part Of the ship. -t-M4AAAAk laea "a

SCALDED TO DEATH

One man was scalded to death and
another taken to the City Hospital in a
dying condition as the result of the burst
in of steam pipe at the Newark Me
tallic Works, on the Newark Plank Road
early this morning. The one who was
reported to be dying risked his life to
save friend and neighbor. The deod
man was John Cooper, forty-two years
old of No. II Lexington avenue. Newark.
The other is John Dober, Of No. II Lex
ington avenue, Newark. Living along
side of each other a strong attachment
had been formed between the two men
and their families.
There is day and night shift at the
Metallic works The two men named
are on the night shift. Cooper was ham
nering some metal when a steam pipe
directly in front of his face burst. A.
cloud Of scalding steam enyeloped the nn-
fortunate man even hiding him from the
view of the other men, who having ran
for their lives returned with the intention
Of making an effort to rescue Cooper.
Dober heard his friend feebly calling for
help. Guided by the sound of his friends
voice he made dash through the steam
and ermerged from the cloud bearing
Cooper's body. The skin was burned en-
tirely away from Cooper's face and
hands. He expired shortly afterwards.
Dober was also scalded, and as intimated
above, it was believed that his heroic ef-
fort to save the life Of his friend would
cost him his life.
Cooper's body was taken TO Hughes's
morgue, 81

Especial to ''The Jersey city News.'D
TRENTON. Feb. 1, 19O6.-Rt. Rev
Bishop John Scarborough, head of tbs
Episcopal diocese of New Jersey, gave
out statement today in which ne saiG
that he was opposed TO the Miller loeai
option measure, but in favor of a hquoi
law now being agitated by the Catholic
clergy throughout the State, viz: high
license, limited number of saloons and
stringent restrictions. He says:
Il favor the adoption of law which
will make the license for all first and
second class cities $1,000 a year and
limit the saloons to a number much small
Ter than now permitted l would favor
lower licenses, but in all cases l would
make it high enough to serve as an in
centive to the saleonkeeper to obey the
law himself and to help see that othegs
obeyed it.
4 would have stringent restriction,
as to the selling of liquor to minors and
to drunkards; would have early closing
at nights and entire closing on Sundays
Bishop Scarborough then stated that
the reason he was opposed to the loca
option scheme was because it would moi
prevent man who wanted a drink IRON
going from dry" district to wet
one to get it.
Il do not believe" he says, shat yos
can make man virtuous BY restricune
the sale of liquor in one district and al.
lowing if to be sold in another. as tbs
local option purposes. he said '.NIen al
ways have drunk liquor and proba bly, al
ways viii. The thing is to make them
drink only under the best possible con
ditions. conditions that will be productive
of the least possible harm. Consideration
must always be given the wife and chill
dren of the man who drinks; they art
the real sufferers.
Il deem it good sign of the times
says Bishop Scarborough, that Catholics
and Protestants, with all denominations
of the latter are getting together or
this subject and propose to seek such leg
islation as will probably restrict the liz
or traffic in all cities and towns in I'll,
State. They can forget their creeds and
dogmas for the time being and work Ia
common for civic righteousness-a worl
worthy them all and deserving the high
est commendation. This united effort I;
sure to be productive of good and lasting
results"
Bishop Scarborough is a member o.
the committee appointed at a conferences
of Catholic and Protestant clergy ant
laymen held in this city last Monday +,
draft high license measure to be pre-
sented to the Legislature.

POLICE BOARD
RID OF CLOS
Victim Of the Pagan Fac
tons Vengeance Is Per-
mitted to Resigned
VAN HORN SUCCEEDS HIM
RoUNDsMAN CONFER BECOMES
A DETECTIVE SERGEANT =
MRS. KrPgC REWARDED FOR
HER SUPPORT OF THE MAYOR.

The application for retirement OF De-
tective-Sergeant John Clos, who has done
night desk duty at police headquarters
for fourteen years, and who has worn
more gold stripes on the sleeves of his
uniform than~any other member of the
police department, having served forty
years, was accepted by the Police Board
yesterday. In police and political circles
the general impression prevails that Clos
had been marked man because he
favored the Dickinson faction in the res
cent split in the Republican party. He
was recently transferred from police
headquarters to street duty in the Sixth
precinct He decided that he might as
weh resign.
Patrolman Harry Van Horn, of the
Fourth precinct, was made a detective
sergeant to succeed Clos. The board Gre
ated an additional detective-sergeant, ele-
waiting Henry Conner, who has been at
tached to the Ocean avenue station for
years to that position. He is succeeded
by Patrolman Hertel. Commissioner
Mitchell, the lone Dickinsonite member
Of the board, objected to the appoint
ment.
81 see no occasion for an additional
detective-sergeant unless it is your pur-
pose to assign some of them to the public
parks to catch sparrows," he said.
Mrs. Rose Kiptic. who has been acting
as an interpreter in the First Criminal
Court for some time. was appointed as
Assistant to Matron Wyatt. Of the Wo-
mems Prison, in Oakland avenue. Mrs.
Kiptic during the last campaign was
very enthusiastic supporter of Mayor
Pagan, even if she hadn't vote. De-
serted by her husband, from whom she
recently received decree of divorce, she
ran saloon for several years in the
Gammontown section. Her resort was
very popular one with the Poles of that
section and she exerted much influence
| over them, as she is a woman of consid-
erable intelligence. During the last cam
p gn she warmly espoused the cause of
| Mayor Pagan. She formed several
| clubs in the lower section Of the city and
made speeches at the meetings held un-
der their auspices. She recently disposed
Of her saloon She was much elated
over her appointment as assistant mat
ron of the woman's prison when seen
| by a News" reporter at her present
home No. 108 Essex street. Her salary
was fixed at $50 month. She was aka
very much elated over the fact that her
fourteen-year-old daughter Theresa, had
just graduated with high honors from
No. / Grammar School.
Commissioner Mitchell strenuously OBJ
jected to Mrs Kiptic's appointment. He
| declared there was no need of an assist
ant matron for the prison in question,
and that it was merely case of giving
her $50 month in return for political
service rendered in the last campaign.
Patrolman D. Post. of the Third Pre-
cinct, who was formerly ferryboat pi-
lot, resigned. When he secured a posi-
ton on the force he was out of job
as pilot. He has since secured his old
job.

hanging, the committee will recommend
its adoption.
Il was stated on reliable authority to-
day that Goyemor Stokes fayors the
adoption of Senator Hutchinson's reso-
luton if the Legislature desires to pro-
vide substitute for hanging. While
he regards electrocution with favor, it is
said, he is nevertheless anxious that the
Legislature should make a thorough in
yestigation of the subject before COM
mitting itself.
Senator Wakelee, of Bergen, who in
troduced an electrocution bill. is also
said TO look with favor upon Senator
Hutchinson's resolution. and he Will
probably vote with his colleagues. Sena-
tors Hillery and Minturn. to report it
favorably. In such event. it is not likely
that any substitute for hanging will be
provided during thefpresent session
Senator Hutchinson, in discussing his
resolution to-day, said
"While l am opposed to the barbarous
method of hanging murderers." he said.
81 am not committed to any substitute
measure until learn what provisions
are taken in other States and European
,,on,,+r;o e. ~ = ,,,,,,;sh,,o,,. - E ,,,,,r5e.
A large majority of our people seem to
favor life Imprisonment. and personally
| feel the same way do not think it
is right to take life for life. If l
had nay way | would adopt law max
ing life Imprisonment the extreme penal
ty for murder. leaving the Court of Par
dons without discretion to interfere with
such sentence or to grant a pardon.
'.On the other hand. there are many
people who do not believe life impr:son-
ment adequate punishment for murder,
and who favor the substitution of cleo
trocution. They have their way Of
thinking and are entitled to be consid-
cred. With such diversity of opinion
existing l think it no more than right
that the Legislature shall investigate and
ascertain how other States and countries
deal with their murderers. Then we can
form some definite idea as to the best
method to be employed to fit the punish
ment to the crime"
Assenlblyman Berg. who introduced an
anti-hanging bill in the House. making
life Imprisonment the extreme penalty,
is opposed to Senator Hutchinson's reso-
luton. because he claims such an inves-
tigation will accomplish nothing
.'The people have already formed an
opinion that hangings should be abolish
ed,' he said, ''and the question TO my
mind is whether life imprisonment or
electrocution should be substituted.
These are the only two substitutes that
can be adopted. I am opposed to the
taking of human life and therefore favor
life Imprisonment. 1t is now for the
Legislature to decide whether electrocu-
ton or life Imprisonment should be sub
stituted for hanging"
