PATERSON TO
STOP USE OF
BIG LAMPS
Would Bar Glaring Lights
Ou Automobiles and
Electric Street Cars.

PATERSON, Nov. 19.-Acetylene gas
lamps used on automobiles and the
big electric headlights used on trolley
cars will have to go in this city. That
is the dictum of the Board of Works of
this city, as promulgated at its meeting
yesterday.
Ever since these powerful lights
have come to be generally used on au-
tomobiles and on the big trolley cars
of the Knes mentioned there have been
complaints from pedestrians and driv-
ers Of vehicles that they are blinded
whenever they are walking or driving
toward the strong light thrown out
by these lamps, and cannot see where
they are going Horses are also fright
ened by the glare of the light, and nu-
merous accidents have resulted as a
consequence.
After discussing the matter for some
time the commissioners decided that
1t was their duty to remove this dam
ger, and Commissioner McKelvey was
appointed a committee of one to confer
with the trolley company with the OBJ
ject Of having the big electric lamps on
their cars turned off while in the city
limits and others of less power used in
their stead.
City Counsel Mercy was directed to
draw up an ordinance prohibiting the
use of acetylene gas lamps on auto
mobiles within the city.

Dunno. of that place, until verdict
shall have been rendered in the divorce
proceedings she has just instigated
against her husband The payment al
lowed is the same sum that Dunno paid
voluntarily to his wife for period of
six months, beginning last spring when
the two had separated.
1t appeared from affidavits presented
by William S. Angleman and William
G. De Meza, of Plainfield, representing
Mrs Dunne that she had her husband
taken to a police court when he stopped
payment of the monthly stipend but
had obtained no relief
Counsel for the defendant opposed
the motion on the ground that the
wife had given the husband just claims
for divorce, and was not entitled to
his support The wife brings similar
charges against the defendant.
Even if the wife is guilty" de-
clared the court, ''the law gives her a
fair trial before il frees her husband
from support. So his support of her
must continue until the divorce ac-
ton is concluded. will also allow the
wife $25 counsel fee"

Roundsman Meyerwitz and Police
men,. Dickson and Burnett, of the
Fourth Precinct station, discovered that
a card game was in progress while they
were passin9 III Bruce street at $40
o'clock this morning. They learned

Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, Nov 19.-The next Gov
ernor of New Jersey came to Trenton
today from Newark on the 9:25 o'clock
train to confer with the Justices of the
Court of Errors and Appeals on some
cases in which he was interested as a
Supreme Court justice. Judge Fort
made a social call on Governor Stokes
in his office, but spent most of his time
in the conference room of the Court
of Errors and Appeals. He did not
mingle with the politicians in the COR
ridors. AT noon, however, the Governor
elect sent for Alfred Dalrymple, the
Essex County chairman, thereby giving
the first intmation that his hand would
enter into the matter of settling the
complications that have arisen
There is not a Senator in the State
House today, it being understood that
Senator Thomas j. Hillery, of Morris,
will be president of the Senate and
Senator Samuel K. Robbins. of Bur-
lington, the floor leader.
At 3 o'clock it was learned that
County Chairman Dalrymple got busy
with Colonel Samuel Dickinson and
David Beird over the speakership.
Later Messrs. Voorhees, and Dickinson
announced that the Prince-Jess COM
bination was the one that had been
decided upon.
The Essex men, aied by the Governor
elect, are doing what they can to have
the slate changed.
Judge Fort made known. tn the lead-
-ers his belief. ft-is sa1u, mat Mr.. Mar
tin ought to be made leader. Mr. Dali
rymple did all he could with the lead
ers to have the slate broken.
The Essex men are hanging about
the Governors room awaiting the de-
cision of the leaders. In the event of
Mr.. Jess being made Speaker and Mr..
Martin leader, it is said that Captain
Parker will be clerk of the House.
Governor-elect Fort, Senator Briggs
and Mr.. Dalrymple after the confer
ence refused successfully to say any
thing about what transpired at the
conference. Semblance to the belief
that Mr.. Prince would be Speaker was
given by the fact that Captain Parker
was working openly against Mr..
Prince. If the latter be made Speaker
it is very likely, 1t was remarked, that
Captain Parker cannot be clerk of the
House 1t seems that Upton Jefferys
now has the calT on the place that
Captain Parker covets.
Later in the day the Governor elect
told an EVENING STAR correspond
ent that no organization matters had
been discussed at the conference be-
tween him, Senator Briggs ant. ;aunty
Chairman Dalrymple. He said that
Coanty Chairman Dalrymple "just hap
pened in," and that no conference had
been arranged.
The legislators who gathered in the
corridors up to the time of the meet
ing of the three did not return TO the
q State House after luncheon. There
were a few in evidence. but not enough
to revive any kind of political buzzing
of importance.

BOMB FLUNG

A Hundred Frightened Men,
Women and Children

TENEMENT OILED FOR FIRE
Second Attempt of the Sort Made
During the Past Six Months
to Get Revenge on Some

Third Avenue.
TENEMENT OILED FOR FIRE

NEW YORK, Nov IA dynamite
bomb which had been thrown from a
passing elevated railroad train created
CONSERVATION among the sixteen fam
lilies who occupy tenements above Wing
Kings laundry, at 1862 Third avenue,
early today. The lower part of the
building was badly damaged by the
explosion, but fortunately none of the
occupants of the house were injured.
Nearly a hundred frightened men,
women and children rushed from the
rocking building. Many windows in
the neighborhood were shattered, and
several pedestrians were bowled over
in the street by the concussion
The police are inclined to believe the
bomb was hurled by an enemy of the
Chinese laundryman. whose shop front
was badly damaged by the explosion
Wing Hing, however, declares that he
has no enemies, and that no one had
any reason to seek to injure him. He
suggested that possibly the missile was
intended for a Greek restaurant which
adjoins his place of business.
The bomb set fire to the basement
door, and the flames rapidly spread up
the front of the house, Notwithstanding
the fact that it was soaked by the
heavy rain. This and the strong odor
of oil that pervaded the atraospIlere
led the police to think that the place
was prepared for fire before the bomb
was thrown.
This is the second attempt of bomb
throwers to wreck the building, and in
each case the explosive was hurled
from passing train. The police be-
lieve the bombs were intended for
Wing Hing, the Chinese laundryman,
who is thought to have offended either
the On Leongs or the Hip Sings.
The first attempt to wreck the build
ing. imperilling the lives of the hun
dred or more persons in the tenement,
was made last June. The police had
no clew to the bomb-thrower and he
escaped.
1t was 5:15 o'clock this morning when
Policeman King, of the East Twenty
second Street Station, was standing on
the west side of Third avenue, near
Twenty-fifth street. On the east side
VI llit dNGHuS dl 1WtHty-SlAlu SlIetl
was Policeman Cummings, of the same
station.
Just as a south-bound elevated train
had reached the middle of the block
both policemen saw a ball hurled from
one of the cars The ball was sputter-
ing and kissing as though a fuse was
burning close. The ball fell directly in
the doorway of the laundry, and then
came the explosion.

PERKINS TAX
ACT HEADS
THE LIST
Test Of Main Stem Law
Likely to Get Before
Court Today.
Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, Nov. 19.--The opening Of
the November term of the Court of Err
rors and Appeals took place at the
State House today The list of causes
set down for argument are 154. but
the court announced when case 100
had been reached that no other cases
would be heard at this term.
The four cases involving the consti-
tutionality of the Perkins main stem
tax act were numbered 1879, 140 141 and
142 and Attorney General McCarter
asked the court to advance these cases
to the head of the list.
He said that the cases were of great
importance to the State and that much
of the States funds are being tied up
awaiting a decision as to the constitu-
tionality of the law.
After hearing the Attorney-G Cen
erals reasons for the advancement of
the cases an order was made that the
cases be advanced to the top of the
list, and they will in all probability
be argued today.
A motion was also made TO have the
case of the State against Pasquale
Deliso, convicted of murder in Middle
sex County, heard at an early date.
Prosecutor George Berdine, of
Middlesex County, moved to have a
writ of repeal dismissed in the case Of
the State against Wilbur j. Flynn.
Flynn was indicted and found guilty
of operating slot machines in Middle-
sex County some time ago, and was
sentenced to pay heavy fine.
