BAKED BY BOILING TAR
HAS YET CHANCE FOR LIFE
Terribly injured Foundryman Was Saved
from Instant Death by Clutching
Side of Tank.

BURLINGTON, Aug. a.-sPlunged
feet-foremost into n tank of boiling tar,
John Antonio, a f~oundryman, was ter
ribly burned at the United States Cast
Iron Pipe and Foundry Company's
plant, at East Burlington, late yester-
day. While working about the tank in
which the big pipes were being dipped
he in some manner stumbled into the
fiery liquid. AS he fell he 'clutched the
side of the tank, preventing his head
from being submerged, and saving him
from instant death.
Fellow-workmen hurriedly fisncd the
suffering man from the tank, dripping
from his feet to his neck with a sticky
coat of hot tar. The fact that the boil
ing LIQUID was thicker than water pre-
vented It from penetrating his clothing,
but his flesh was literally baked on his
body and came off in strips when his
clothes were removed. The nails also
fell out of his fingers and toes.
The burned man became delirious and
his terrible cries of agony nearly
caused a panic among the hundreds of
other foreign laborers at the foundry.
Antonio was still living late last night,
and doctors say that there is a bare
chance of saving his life by placing
him in a salt bath for seventy-two
hours, whereby it is possible that new
kin NAV form.

the water was two feet deep. Some who
were In thesvicinity waded in and assisted
her to the shore. In the meantime the
Vice-President and his friends who had
heard the alarm hurried to the waters
edge.
The Vice-President expressed his sorrow
over the incident and congratulated the

WORK ON LABOR DAY.
PLANS TO TURN P q TO
USEFUL ACCOUNT.
Proposed Chicago Innovation VIII Estab-
lish a Precedent in Industrial
Circles.

CHICAGO, Aug. eff plans Of the
Building Trades Association go
through, Chicago will see a Labor Day
innovation this yea which will estab-
fish a precedent in Industrial circles.
The plan includes the donation by some
5000 or 1900 men of their services 10
the city for the purpose of removing
the Drake drinking fountain with the
statue Of Columbus to some suitable
point in Grant Park or elsewhere on
the lake front and doing other things
in a civic identifying way.
1t is planned to request Mayor Busse
to grant the necessary permission to
remove the fountain and get another
permit from the South Park Commits
sioners to place 1t in Grant Park. The
Teamsters' Union is expected to offer
its services to haul the tons of granite
away, the plumbers will handle the
removal and r~einstallation of the pipes,
and other organizations affiliated with
the Building Trades Association will
take car Of their part of the work.
81 am going to offer the necessary
resolutions at tomorrow's meeting Of
the Building Trades Assembly, said
Delegate Frank Thomas. There could
be no more memorable Labor Day than
one spent in doing some necessary city
work. Unless somebody gets busy and
removes the drinking fountain it will
fall a prey to the building wreckers.
Placed upon an open piece of ground,
where It's beauty "a be appreciated
and not swallowed up by surrounding
Buildings, the monument would be APP
preciated."

SLOT MACHINES GALORE!
But County Prosecutor Is Holding Them
as Evidence.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. a.-County
Prosecutor George Berdlne, annoyed by
frequent destinations nal he had dis
posed Of slot machines which he seized In
raids a couple of years ago, today issued
a general invitation to all Interested &c
call at his barn and see the machines for
themselves. His barn is full of the gam
bling devices.
The Prosecutors critics say that
he should have burned the ma
chimes or totally destroyed them, accord
ing to law. Mr.. Berdine explains that as
the machines were used as evidence
against w. J.. Flynn, convicted of operat-
ing them, and as Flynn's application for
a new trial Is now pending, 1t would be
absurd to destroy the evidence. He says
he had wrecked the mechanism of the
machines so that they can never again be
used.

LODGE ON TARIFF
REVISION IN 1909 THE
ROOSEVELT POLICY.
New Act Will Be Along Old Republican
Lines of Protection for American
workingmen, He Says.

BOSTON, Aug. s.-Postmaster-Ge
eral George Won L. Meyer, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge and Governor Cur
tbs Guild, jr., were the principal speak
ers yesterday at the outing of the Dor
chester Young Mems Republican Club
at Nantasket Point. The keynote of
the State campaign was sounded when
Governor Guild stated that State Is
sues should be paramount, rather than
national, and that the great question
before the people was as to the desira-
bility or undesirability of giving steam
ships, trolley lines. steam lines and ex-
press companies over to one giant
monopoly, and he lack of railroad
track building in the State.
Senator Lodge delivered the long
,looked-for speech which Massachusetts,
Republicans have been informed for
weeks would represent the views of
President Roosevelt pm the tariff. He
followed Governor Guild, who declared
for an immediate revision. Among
those who heartily applauded Senator
Lodge was Postmaster General Meyer
Lodge said there would be no revi-
sion of the tariff before 1909; that th'
party leaders were opposed to any
tariff tinkering preceding a Presiden'
tial election; hat a revision would not
mean the lowering of duties on any
manufactures the importation of which
would hurt our workingmen, and that
a new tariff would be along the old
Republican lines of protection for the
American workingmen. He was vigor-
ously cheered.
Mr.. Meyer expressed the hope that
a parcels post would oon be estab-
llshed with a limit of five pounds, as
a trial, and that the efficiency of the
service should be increased by in
creased deliveries in the larger cities.
He advocated a trial system of post
checks payable to bearer up to IS.

FIXES THE PIER LINE
AT ~ELIZABETHPORT,
Riparian Commission Holds Meeting Be
hind Closed Doors-First Session
Since January l.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 9.-The Ripa-
rian Commission held a meeting in the
Commercial Trust building yesterday,
at which Commissioners Michael F.
Mclaughlin, John r. Reynolds and
William Cloke were present. Governor
Stokes, who is ex-officio a member of
the commission, was absent.
The meeting was short, the only i'm
portant business transacted being to
establish a pier line at Elizabethport in
front of the pier which the Central
Railroad Company is building there.
The line was made identical with the
line fixed by the United states Gov
eminent.
The company began building the pier
some time ago without the consent of
the commission. which is required by
the State law, and Attorney-Genera
McCarter. in behalf of the commission,
started an action for trespass against
the company. Then it vas discovered
that the commission had never fixed
the pier line in those waters.
The session was the first held since
last January. The commission has
done nothing really since the sensa-
tional investigation undertaken last
year after Corporation Counsel George
L. Record, of Jersey City, had been
mentioned as the New Idea Republican
candidate for the United States Sena-
torship.
The abolition of the commission as
a result of the things shown In that in
vestigation was recommended, and the
body is under pledge to make no grants
until the Legislature has taken action
on the report of the committee that
conducted the inquisition. The meet
ing was behind closed doors.
