BOSSES NEXT
ON The LIST.
Washington Report Says Col.
Dickinson and Major Lentz
Will Dine With President.
(From the NEWS Correspondent )

WASHINGTON, u. c., Jan. 81
Reports that Colonel Samuel d. Dick
inson. Of Jersey City, had been invit-
cd to the White House with Senator
Kean to lunch with the President, are
up to the present time, premature.
When Senator Kean was seen yester-
day afternoon he said that he knew
nothing about any engagement, and
at the White Mouse it was stated that
no engagement was scheduled for the
present.
It is possible, however. that Col
oncl Dickinson may be invited TO the
White House some of these days to
give his version of the political situa-
ton in Hudson county, and it is also
possible that some day Major Carl
Lentz might also be asked TO tell the
President a few facts about the sit
uation in Essex county. Should eli
ther or both receive an invitation to
visit the President ii may be expected
that, like good, patriotic republicans,
they will be pleased to keep any ap-
pointment that Mr.. Roosevelt may
make. c. 5. a.

UNUSUAL FOG
COVERS CITY.
All Work on the Water Tied Up
and Railroads Greatly
Hindered.
WANDERS.
Nearly Lost Her Way on One
Trip and Was Late Getting In
Trouble on Docks.

Because of the heavy fog this
morning almost all river traffic was
tied up for some hours and passenger
and shifting engines on the local rail
roads were able to move only very
slowly.
On the sound the fog was so thick
at one time that the ferryboat War
rem which plies between this city and
Tottenville, lost her bearings and had
a hard task in making her slip in this
city. The Warren left Tottenville on
time but was ten minutes late when
she arrived at the slip on this side.
All other craft in the sound had
the same trouble and tugboats did
little or nothing in the way of towing
boats to the hook. Most of the tugs
moved along at snail's pace and at
10 o'clock, when a NEWS reporter
went along shore, many of the tugs
had given up the attempt to work
and the captains had tied up at docks
to wait until the fog lifted
1t is said that in the early part of
the morning, while tugboat captains
were trying to work, creeping slowly
from place to place, a number of col
lisions with schooners were narrowly
averted.
On the railroads the engineers and
crews of trains, especially freight
trains, were having hard task of it
and they were compelled to work
slow in the yards of the Lehgh Val
ley and on the docks at Port Reading
because of the great number of shift
ing engines. At one time the fog
was so thick it is said that it was i'm
possible for the engine drivers or
trainmen to see cars length ahead
and the shifting was almost out of
the question, for fear of an accident.
On the north shore branch of the
Central railroad things were tied up
for some time because of the fog.

PAINTERS NOW
JOIN The REST
Report Has 1t That They Will
Ask for Raise as Will Also
the HOd Carriers.

Now comes the report and from
good authority, that the Brotherhood
of Painters, Decorators, and Paper
hangers, Local Union No. 144, and
the Information Laborers Union of
Hod Carriers, Local No. 27, will
make a demand on the bosses com
mencing May that they be granted
an increase of wages.
AT the present time the painters
receive $2.75 per day for eight hours
work, which is said to be the lowest
paid to any mechanic in this city.
They will ask the bosses to give
them SO day and from all reports
they expect to get the increase from
the fact that number of the bosses
are now paying that amount to good
painters.
For the past year every painter in
this city has been kept busy and
while the wages asked by the union
were only $2.75 for eight hours
work, many contractor was will
ing to give twenty-five cents more a
day to get good men and have them
stay with him.
For the first tie in many years the
painters have worked all of this win
ter and they are in hopes of work
ing through the summer and it is
said that they will have no trouble.
With the hod carriers and laborers
ii is feared things will be different for
report has ii that they are going to
ask so much that it will be impossi-
bic for the bosses to grant the de-
mands.
The laborers now receive $2.25 for
a day OF eight hours. They are going
to ask for an increase of fifty cents
a day, or $2.75 for eight hours, it is
said. Many of the bosses have heard
this and they do not expect it will go
through.
At the meeting of the unions next
month these matters will be taken up
and thoroughly discussed and it is
expected that committees will be ap-
pointed to handle the affairs when
the request is to be made.

to be the one in which Gus Stone and

found bottom side up on the mea-
dows about three miles below South

Captain Van Schaick is innocent, but
that he should not be made to suf-

blame than he.

CAUCUS MAKE
BAD FEELING.
Perth AmhOy People Disappointed
at Judge Lyon Not Receiving
County Appointment.
CLAIM UNFAIR DEAL.
Petitions Being Circulation Here
Had Not Yet Been Presented
TO the Leaders.

There is general dissatisfaction
among people in this city, republicans
and also democrats. over the appar-
ent sighting of Perth Amboy's eff
forts to secure the appointment of
Adrian Lyon as county judge. The
dissatisfaction arises not so much
alone from the choice of Theodore b.
Booraem, of New Brunswick, as from
| the making of the selection before
/ the petitions asking for Judge Ly-
on's appointment could be presented.
The local men who have been work
ing for Judge Lyons candidacy der
clare that they had assurances that
no move would be made in the mat
ter before March l at the earliest.

the Middlesex county senator and as
I semblymen Monday night was an en-
tirely unlocked for maneuvre The
conference was held at the State
House at Trenton and Mr.. Boorsem's
name was practically decided on.
! Assemblyman Crowther, of this
city, held out strongly for his towns
man, but was in the sad minority
and bowed to the will of the major
ity. who seemed to have known for
whom they would vote before they
went to the conference. 1t is not
known positively whether any of the
four legislators in the conference en-
dorsed the New Brunswick district
court judge. Edward Hicks, for the
county bench.
/ Following their conference the
Middlesex delegation waited upon
Governor Stokes and informed him
that they had decided to indorse Mr..
Booraem. Governor Stokes will,
there is little doubt, name Mr.. Boor-
aem, in accordance with the delega-
tion's choice.
Mr.. Booraem's term of five years
will commence April l, when Judge
Woodbridge Strong retires. He will
receive a salary of $4,000 a year.
He will, of course, resign as city
attorney of New Brunswick, which
pays $1,000 a year, and to which he
was appointed in March last. He will
also resign as assistant United States

SAVINGS LOST TO CARD SHARPS.
Montana Man Confident He Would
Win at Poker, Drops $4,000.

BILLINGS, Mont, Aug. 23.-Henry
Shissler, a section foreman from Cor
NTH. Mont, was swindled out of $3.50
in a poker game by bunco experts in
this city. He engaged in a game of
poker with two strangers and lost
$3.50. A new hand was dealt; he got
two aces and a pair of queens. He
was bankrupt of ready money, but had
bank deposits. Sure his hand would
win. At his suggestion the hands of
the trio were sealed in envelopes and
Shissler went to the bank and drew
$4,000 to bet on the game. One of the
strangers had three trays. Police then
searched for the bunco men, but with
out success. Shissler, who lost the
savings of years in his little game,
will go back to the section.
