THROW EMPTY
BEER KEGS IN
DUMP GROUND
City Authorities Mean TO Enforce
Orders 10 Remove Articles
From the Streets.

Some time ago Mayor Bollschweil-
er notified the brewing companies to
remove their empty beer kegs from
The streets, and Chief Burke of the
police department also notified the
saloonkeepers not to stack the kegs
on the sidewalks in front of their
place except at the time the collection
wagons were due.
The saloonkeepers have complied
with Chief Burke's orders but Mayor
Bollschweiler said this morning that
only one brewing company has ac-
knowledged the receipt of his letter
and that in all parts of the city es-
pecially in North Amboy and the
fourth ward, empty kegs may be seen
in the cutters and around the streets.
81 intend to have this rule en-
forced" said the mayor, "and unless
the brewing companies remove their
kegs from the street by tomorrow
night, | will order the street COM
missioner to collect them in wagons
and throw them in the city dump.
This is an official notice and | have
ordinances TO help me in enforcing
the law on this point. The kegs on
the streets are nuisance and have
received many complaints in regard
to the matter. If there were any ex-
cuse for the companies not complying
with my orders ! wouldn't mind, but
the matter has reached climax and
all kegs left on the street hereafter
will be confiscated"
Street Commissioner Fullerton will
have the city scrapers out tomorrow
cleaning up the streets and it is on
account of this that the mayor has
ordered the removal of the kegs
from the streets by tomorrow night.
Mayor Bollschweiler has eXamin-
ed number of the city ordinances in
the matter and has legal advice as to
his right in ordering the street COM
missioner to remove the empty kegs.

MACH|N|STS NOT FOR
8 HOUR DAY JUST YET.
Big Meeting Held
In This Civ
Last Night.

A large number of machinists at
tended the mass meeting held by the
local Machinists Union, No. 367. last
night in the African building, 320
State street. The meeting was open
for union and non-union men alike
and speakers were present from New
ark and New York
President ]. w. Glenn, of the i0-s
cal union, opened the meeting with
brief address, after which he intro
duced President Joseph Sonnabend.
of Union No. AT, of Newark. Mr..
Sonnabend was followed by Secre-
tary Robert Reilly, of the Newark
Union. Both these speakers spoke Of
union conditions through Newark,
Plainfield, Elizabeth and surround
ing places. Henry Williams, of local
No. Is, of New York, explained union
conditions in New York city and
state. The chief topic of discussion
was the nine-hour day schedule, for
which the machinists throughout the
state are fighting. The fight for this
schedule is nearly at an end, as most
machlnists work but nine hours q
day. There are two such shops Ia
Perth Amboy which local union ma
chinists are trying hard to make nine
hour strictly union shops.
Many at the recent meeting Of the
state association and also ia the meet
ing last night were in favor of an
eight-hour day schedule, but were
over-ruled by men who said that that
would be too great a change and ar
gued that the nine-hour day should
first be procured throughout the
state, after which an eight-hour day
movement could be started
1t is expected that about July first
the machinists' unions throughout the
state will make such demand. The
meeting last night was largely at
tended and much enthusiasm was
shown among both the union and
non-union workers. Refreshments
followed the meeting. Another meet
ing of the local union will be held
Monday night in Union Hall.

Vote in Favor of the Railroad
Commission Bill.

TRENTON, Mar. democratic
members of the house of assembly
aided by five of their republican asso-
ciates, yesterday afternoon passed the
Wright Railroad Commission bill
The fact that republicans voted for
the bill gives Mr.. Wright confidence
that the measure will successfully
weather the storm of senatorial oppo-
sition that will greet it and that ii
will be put up to the governor for en-
dorsement. The vote in the assembly
also set aside rumors which have pre-
vailed for some time to the effect that
the railroad lobby controlled enough
of any measure not in accord with
the ideas of the railroad officials. Ev-
cry democratic assemblyman was in
his seat yesterday when the vote on
the Wright bill was taken and every
one of them voted aye.
The republicans who voted for the
bill wehe Assemblymen Drake and
Crowther, of MiddleseX; Devine and
Fake, of Bergen, and Manson, of Mon
mouth All of the other republicans
voted against the bill.
The bill now goes to the senate.
Senator Minturn, the democratic lead
er in the senate, is in favor of the
appointment of a commission to sit
during the recess of the legislature
to investigate all railroad matters
and report bill to the next session,
but he has declared that he would
support straight railroad reform
bill if one made it's appearance this
year. Such bill is the Wright COM
mission measure and Senator Min
turns support can be relied upon.
With him will be the five other demo-
Gratis and several reform republicans.
This makes the railroad fight in the
senate about even, so far as advocates
and opponents are concerned.
That the republican organization is
opposed to the commission idea OF
Assemblyman Wright was made ap-
parent yesterday when the bill came
up on third reading in the house. Mr.
Wright said that President Roosevelt

MACCABEES
ARE AFTER
THE PRIZE.
Local Tent Expects TO Have Larg.
est Number to Be initiated
Tomorrow Night.

An important meeting of Perth
Amboy Tent, Knights of the Macca-
bees, was held in their rooms in the
Jefferson building last night. Seven
candidates were initiated. State
Commander Frey, of Newark, was
present and made a brief address.
Preparations were completed for
attending the big class initiation to
be held in the rooms of the New
Brunswick Tent in that city tomorrow
night. 1t is expected that class of
about forty will be initiated. A num-
ber of the state officers, including
State Commander Frey and Deputy
Commander Adams, of Elizabeth,
will be present and make an address.
The members of the local tent will
assemble at their lodge room tomor-
row night and will go, about forty
strong, to that city. Commander
Fred Lonseth will be in charge of the
delegation. Many guests will be
present at the meeting from this city.
Port Reading, Elizabeth. Paterson
and Bayonne.
There is considerable rivalry
among the tents throughout the state
in getting candidates for initiation,
as the lodge that gets the most mem
bership initiated will have the privi-
lege of having one of it's members
appointed deputy state commander
The members of the local tent will
make a lively bid for the prize. A
supper will follow the ceremony.

DESCRIPTION OF RAFFLES.
(By Mrs. Raflles.)

You ask for a good descrip-
ton of my husband, and | will
endeavor to make the same as
clear to you as possible.
He weighs about 155 pounds
and is twenty-nine years old
Height, just exactly five feet,
ten inches. Face, smooth shay
en-, inclined to be pale, although
it colors up at times. The
birthmark on his face is really
noticeable when you talk to
him, but it is nearer the left
eye than the temple, although
under temple. His hair is
dark, inclined to be wavey in
front, parts on side, not very
thick in back, but he is fussy
enough to comb this spot
over. The teeth are irregular
and one is missing in the right
side of front upper row, also
one in lower row. | would call
his eyes a little darker than
blue-gray, almost brown in
fact, still they correspond with
the color OF his hair. He smokes
cigars necessarily. His tailor
says he is "bow-legged," but
/ never noticed that until after
we were married. You may no
tice this,
He wears a serious express
ion and walks quickly. Wears
a No, u shoe, ia Y collar and
6B hat. Dresses very quietly
and looks very much married.
You will now be able to spot
him on sight. Good luck.
Yours very truly,
MRS. RAFFLES.

The Central Labor Union last night
adopted resolutions protesting the
project to abolish the State Board of
Arbitration by legislative action. The
resolutions further take a fling at
Henry Banker, of New Brunswick, to
whom the unions attribute an uncom-
plimentary remark and against whose
continuance of the board they protest.
The resolutions are as follows:
The Central Labor Union, of Perth
Amboy and vicinity, desiring to place
itself upon record in this most i'm
portant subject, hereby adopts the
following;
Whereas, The State of New Jer-
sey, by its creation of a Board of Ar
bitration, has shown its recognition
of the principle which is destined in
time to rule the world, the principle
that men as individuals and as cor
porations as well as in national
differences without resorting to war,
whether that be conducted with force
of arms or otherwise,
Resolved, That we, as an organi-
zation of citizens of New Jersey, here
by protest against the proposition to
abolish said Board of Arbitration, be-
lieving that by so doing the state of
New Jersey will be taking step
backward when every effort should
be made to go forward to the ultimate
realization of the righteousness of
arbitration. That we urge instead
the reorganization of the board by
the appointment of men who will
command the respect of employers
and employees alike, holding that
thereby the usefulness of the board
will be easily established and its
worth to the state be made quickly
evident
Resolved, further, That we sol
emnly protest to the governor of New
Jersey, in whom the appointing pow
er rests. against the continuation as
member of the Board of Arbitra-
ton of one Henry Banker, whose no
torious enmity to organized labor
did not need his uncalled for re-
mark, "To He'll With the Unions" to
make it known and render him utter
ly valueless as a member of body
supposed to intervene to secure JUS
tice and restore peace when laboring
men and their employers differ

if he couldn't have the trolley cars
run more slowly so that less dust
would be made. Mr.. Fullerton said
when asked If the sprinkler would be
out daily, in case the dust continued,
that it is possible, although he is not
certain.
The trolley company is compelled
to sprinkle between May l and No
vember 1 on Smith and State streets
under daily penalty Of $50

hibits are the Mecca for thousands of manufacturers, scientists, legislators and workers fer the public good from every corner of the world. The awards of the juries are made with such unmistakabie impartiality and are so decidedly an- neuneed for CT against certain food prod- ucts that the knowledge gained from 8 visit to the exposition serves as absolute protection against fraud.
 The exposition Is held annually at dif. ferent cities decided upon by the board of commissioners. In 1906 it was held In Paris, this year in Antwerp and next year it will be held In another city of the continent or in Great Britain. Crowned heads of Europe unite in aiding its well fare. and every civilized country each year sends Its most noted scientists to participate in the gathering together of experts from all parts of tho world In Europe the exposition Is annually given the greatest publicity throughout tho different centers of population, it being theunderstood object to apprise the peo; ple of what Is good and what Is not good for their general welfare. The exposi- tlons of 1908 and 1907 were attended by thousands of tourists from America, the recent rise of public interest in the sub joct of pure foods encouraging investiga- tioh in tho products of the world brought together in one vast exhibit.
 The department of brewing at the Ant werp exposition was one of the chief fea- tures. The fact thst tho first beer was brewed in what Is now the kingdom of Belgium added to the interest in thc ex- hibit and inspired wonderful showings from the different interests of the world All the great breweries of Germany, America, England and other countries made efforts to excel in their exhibits, and when the time came for the highest awards interest was at fever heat.
 The tests of the hundreds of samples of bottled beers were most severe. The jury which made the exhaustive tests of the brewery products was made up of scien- tists, university professors and chemists of note appointed by the Belgium minis ter of education.
 SUBJECTED TO HEAT AND COLD.
 The jury's task was severe one, the tests of each beer extending over a con

gates to represent them in the iHterna- tionsl show. The exhibits were placed in the great building erected several years ago at Antwerp and designed especially for large expositiens of the nature of the pure food show. The juries appointed to make tests in the several depart munts of the exposition were appointed by the Belgian minister of education with tho approval of the different nations par tielpating in the gathering, the members being selected with special view to their peculiar fitness to judge of the merits of the products coming under their exam nation. One of the noted members of tho Jury which undertook the stupend- ous task of testing tho bottled beers and awarding prizes was Prof. Alfred Jorgen- sen of Copenhagen, Denmark, than whom there Is no better known authority on the subject of scientific and hygienic brewing Others on the jury were men of undoubted ability in their line. The fact that the host of exhibitors in the department of brewing unanimously ap- proved of the membership of the jury be- speaks their ability.
 It Is probable that the awards now in the care of the Pabst Brewing company will be placed on exhibition at an early date, it being the desire of the. of flcials to permit the public at large to examine the medals and diploma signi- flying the par excellence of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer.

siderable time. Pabst "Blue Ribbone beer, along with all the others, was for weeks alternately subjected to extreme degrees of heat and cold. Of all the beers so tested Pabst "Blue Ribbon" beer YRS the only one found npon examination to TO. tain all the properties originally con. tained in the brew. It WAS finally deter. mined that the "Blue Ribbon" beer took first place among all the other yarieties submitted by American and European brsweries. Consequently the highest pos sible honors of the exposition were awarded.
 The fact that the American beer took first place was all the more remarkable from the fact that 1t was necessarily transported a great distance, factor that might ordinarily have been decided handicap as against the other beers sent to Antwerp. The time that the beer was in transit from the brewery in Milwaukee was something like four weeks, and it is generally accepted theory that beer loses through transportation. The Pabst beer apparently was unaffected. Its dura- bility and pureness were found upon ex- animation to be without fault.
 The exposition at Antwerp this year was held during the months of June, July and August, the months in which the tourist travel is largest. It was opened by King Leopold, under whose protecto- rate it was held, the various monarchies and the French republic appointing dele

The medal is attached to the crown of Belgium, which in turn ia sas- pended ffen ribbon of the tri.eeler of Belgium.

 The diploma setting forth the fact that "Blae Ribbon beer WAS awarded the grand prlx at the Antwerp exposition is beautifully designed document bearing four iaesiistic figures. The entire word> Ing Is in the French language, the court language of Belgium. The body of the diploma sets forth that the sdiplome de grand pris" has been awarded to the pabst. Brewing company of Milwaukee. The array of official signatures Is the chief feature of the document. The di. pioma Is signed by tho president of the Jury which awarded the honors, by the lord mayor of the city of Antwerp, hon. orary member; the administrator gen. sral, and president of the committee of commercial patronage.
 The signatures of the exposition ofi. oials are verified and attested to by the minister of foreign affairs of the Royal Belgian government All these sigma lures are in turn attested to by the vice and deputy consul general representing the United States government at Ant werp, the two certifications being written in the lower margin of the diploma and accompanied by the respective seals of office.

KILLS A
YARD OF
GATOR

Long Branch, N. j., Aug. 19.-
Paul Dametz, a lad living in Joline
avenue, this city, killed an alligator
three feet long today.
Dametz was looking for rowboat
which broke from its moorings at
Port-au-Peck yesterday. and ran
across the alligator basking In the
sun on the bank of the South shrews-
bury river. Fearing that the alliga-
tor might turn on him, the boy
picked up a heavy club and dealt 1t n
stinging blow across the back. He
followed up the attack and finally
killed 1t.
The lad lugged the animal home,
where It was measured. This is the
third gator that has been caught in
the Shrewsbury river this summer.
Their presence in northern waters
cannot be accounted for.
