PREVENT PLAQUES SPREAD
California Doing It's Utmost to Stamp
Out scourge.

WASHINGTON, Oct. &.-The situation
with regard to the plague is practically the
same in San Francisco, according to an
announcement made at the offices of the
Marine Hospital Service. The work of
eradication. especially with regard to rat
determination, is beginning to show good
results. The poisons so far employed are
PHOSPHORUS paste and a mixture consist
ing of equal parts Of plaster OF Paris and
flour.
Advices received here are to the effect
that the authorities In Oakland, Alameda
and Berkely are thoroughly alive to the
dangers to be apprehendcd from the spread
of the plague on their side of the bay The
sum of SIC, 900 has been promised by the
City Council of Oakland as a monthly ex-
penditure to prevent the spread Of the
disease. The campaign will consist of a
sanitary survey, an inspection of the dead,
necropsies of all bodies which are con-
sidered suspicious of plague, and general
measures for the destruction OF the rat
and his parasites.
From June rs to October Is there were
5,039 cases of smallpox in the country. OF
this number only sixteen were fatal. Be-
tween September l and October %, two
cases of yellow fever were reported, one
at Baltimore and one at ~Fernandina, Fla.
Death resulted in one of these cases. Both
patients were aliens, one arriving on q
steamship from Santiago. Cuba, and the
other on a steamship from Daiquiri, Cuba.

~0VERCROWDING RELIEVED.
Twelve Halliday Glasses Transferred to
Johnson Avenue Building.

The overcrowded condition of the
Charlton Street School. which. since the
beginning of the school year, has ne
cessitated twelve halliday classes, was
remedied today when the pupils of these
classes were transferred to the building
on johnson avenue, recently leased by
the Board of Education for the pur-
pos of accommodating the overflow.
This win dispense with practically all
the halliday classes at this the most
crowded school in the city. The Morton
and Miller street schools are running with
a few halliday classes. The acceptance
recently Of the South Eighth Street, Bur-
net Street and other additions relieved
the congestion considerably, and although
there are still several halliday classes in
some fifteen schools, the total Of sixty-four
reported by DR.. Poland at the September
meeting of the School Board will have
been considerably reduced after today.
In the evening schools nearly all classes
are filed. and in some instances many are
on the waiting list. The drawing school,
however. with an enrolment of over 1000,
has none on the waiting list.

else Violation Evidence.

ASBUURY PARK, Oct. 2s.-On returning
from an outing spent at Barnegat Bay
and at Canadeusls, Pa, In the Pocono
Mountains, Mayor Charles A. Atkins was
interviewed on the excise question:, and
the criticism which has been heaped upon
him by President George w. Thompson, of
the city excise board.
Mayor Atkins said that he a always
acted fairly and squarely, and for the best
interests of the city He denied that he
had called off the detectives employed by
the excise board while pursuing their
duties along proper lines. II did not in
terfere.'' said the Mayor, until they be-
gan to bride the bellboys at the Hotel
Columbia In an effort to nave the proprie-
tor, Harvey Jones, indicted. Then I
called q halt, and a halt should have been
called. 1t Is not right to besmirch a mans
name and character by puRic statement
of suspicious until they are conclusively
proven"
He said that his attention had been
called to alleged violations of the excise
ordinance by Mr.. Thompson, and that
upon investigation he a found that in
no case were the charges su~bstantiated.

been indicted" said the Mayor, land 1t

they did SO they carried on their business
in a quiet way. | knew nothing of It,"

RAIN STOPS SUNDAY GAME.
Pastors Puzzled About Result of Their
Efforts to Prevent It.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. 28.-The game
of baseball scheduled for yesterday between
the Princeton team and the New Bruins
wicks was declared off. The management
announced that the weather was RESPONSE
BILE, and so the ministers and church work
ers who instituted a crusade against Sum
day baseball this week do not know wheth-
er they have won or lost their fight.
All summer long the New Brunswieks
have conducted Sunday games on an IN
inclosed field on the outskirts of the city.
Thousands of persons have attended the
games, on one Sunday 1000 being as
sembled, including many women. This
week the ball team manager announced
that he would have the grounds inclosed
next season and would erect a grand stand,
so that admission could be charged. Local
Protestant pastors got together and decided
to protest. They drew up a petition, which
was signed by all of the pastors In The
city, and presented 1t to Prosecutor Ber-
dine and Chief of Police Harding, calling
upon them to stop the game advertised
to take place. Mr.. Berdine assured the
ministers that he would not permit the
law to BE- violated, and served notice on
the eh+ef of police to do his duty in the
case.

REFUTES STORY ABOUT RE-
BECCA SIMON.
Son, Said to Be Theatrical Manager,
Gives Security and Says white
Slave" Report Is False.

Mrs. Rebecca Simon, Of 70 Forsythe
street, New York city. obtained ball
last Saturday afternoon, her son. said
to be manager of a string of New York
theatres, giving the security. Mrs.
Simon was arrested by the police of
the First Precinct Station on informa-
ton given to them by a man whose
name they wish to keep unknown for
the present. The information was that
the was a dealer in white
slaves"
Mrs. Simon's son said that such n
statement was erroneous, as he and
his brother are able to ear for their
mother without compelling her to en-
gage in such a business. He admitted
that his mother was worth consider
able money. but not as much as the
police say.
Mrs. Simon was held under $500
bonds as being a material witness in
the Wagner case. She is said to have
sold to Wagner and his wife clothing

GAMBLERS. "TIPPED,"
Political Campaign Responsiblef for Their
Flight from Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 28.-City Of
f1cials and reform leaders, awaiting
with keen interest the report of the
October Grand Jury, promised for to-
morrow, declare that temporarily, at
least, the hold of big gamblers upon
police protection has been broken. Dis
covery by certain Republican bosses,
alleged to be responsible for the pulp
which the sharpers have enjoyed, that
the attitude of certain high officials is
making strong campaign material for
Democrats, has resulted in a scare I'M
der which scores of gamesters have de-
serted the city, in fear of warrants
likely to follow the report OF the in
quest.
The leaders of reform declare that
the conditions which brought about the
scandal that resulted in the Supreme
Court ordering the Mayor and chief of
police to suppress gaming in the city,
have improved very little during the
summer. What few raids were made
by the police, 1t is alleged, scooped up
only small fry, while the larger places
continued to run
Rumor has it that the Grand Jury has
already found five true bills against
game promoters, and that a straight
tip from the front" has been the direct
cause of the sudden stampede of gam
Dlers.

BRYAN PRAISES Y. M. C. A.
"Not Smart to Be skeptical on Reli-
gion." He Tells Young Men.


NEW YORK, Oct. 2Sa-Wnliam Jen-
nings Bryan addressed a big meeting
in Carnegie Hall yesterday under the
auspices of the West Side Y. M. c.. A.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for forty minutes.
He did not refer to politics or to the
financial situation, blu devoted his at
tention to young men and religion and
the work of the Y. M. G. A. throughout
the world.
"I want to peal witness" said Mr..
Bryan, "to the grand work Of the Y. M.
c. A. I look back with pride and salts
faction to the fact that 1 have been a
member of this organization from the
time I was a]young man in Illinois, and
1 have also been a member in Lincoln,
Neb.
much as 1 delight in delivering a po-
litical address, I find greater satisfac-
ton in speaking on religion. Some
young men seem to think it is smart to
be skeptical on religious matters. They
say they cannot understand some
things. There are a great many things
In the Bible which I do not understand
myself, but / want to say to o young
men that it is the religious character Of
the Y. M. G. A. which has given the or
ganization so large a place in the work
OF the nation. I have always been in
terested in the science of government,
but | am as much interested in religion
and religious work as l am in govern
ment, and 1 may say more So"
When Mr.. Bryan finished speaking he
left the hall Immediately and stepped
into a waiting automobile which took
him to Yonkers.

CONFER ON
DOCK AND
CANAL
Commissioners and Engineer
to Prepare for Putting
Question Before Voters.

A conference on the part of the
is scheduled to take place this after
noon in the City Hall to arrange de-
tails for a statement to be made to
the public about the proposed ship
canal and dock improvements and the
plans to be followed, so that a clear view
of the manner in which the work is to
be done can be had by the voter be-
fore he goes to the polls on November
s to- vote on the question of issuing
bonds amounting to $1,000, 900 for the
work.
Mr.. Owens plans are broadly con-
ceived, and as he explained to the
commissioners, was intended to provide
for many years of future development.
As shown in the drawings, the ship
canal is virtually an extension of New
ark Bay, dredged to a depth of thirty
feet for a distance of three miles in
land and one mile wide. On either side
of the 1000 feet clearway giant piers
built at an obtuse angle to the line of
the canal-like the upper arm of the
letter K-run from the docks 1900 feet

the largest vessels and obviates the
right angle curves to the railroad
tracks, several of which traverse each
pier.
The plan gives accommodation for a
fleet of freighters large enough to
carry a nations production in agricul-
ture and commerce.
As shown by the map 1900 acres are
to be excavated for the canal for a
depth of thirty feet, sufficient to float
the largest ocean-going freight ves-
sells and all save the largest of the re-
Gently built passenger steamships. On
either side of the canal proper, the
docks leading to the piers are shown to
be graded to a width Of about 800 feet,
with ample space from railroad tracks
on the extreme outer side.
The canal, as suggested, would bring
steamships within hailing distance of
the present line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and Lehigh Valley Railroad
tracks, the map showing the terminal
to be but a short distance east of Ave-
nue. A.

Beating His. Way to New
Hampshire Home, ISN
Released Here.
TRIED TO CUT WAY OUT
Roland Lambe Used His Pocket
knife With the Desperation OF
a Starving Man.-At End of
Resources, Wished to Be
Known as Plain Hobo.

What released Roland Lambe, a for
mer college student. 81 years old. of
North Rochester, N. H. from a loaded
freight train in the Waverly freight
yard of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
where he was a prisoner for over TWEEN
ty hours, was his attempt to cut his
way to freedom yesterday afternoon
with a pocketknife. In a weakened
condition he was taken from the car
by Special officer Weber and assisted
to the First Precinct station. This
morning he was before Judge Howell
in the First Criminal Court n was
discharged, as the Pennsylvania Rail-
road officers had no complaint to make
against the young man.
When taken to the station house last
night, the police recognized from the
name of the young man and from
his evident good breeding that they
had some one who was a little different
from the ordinary railroad stramp.
Lambe would say but little about him.
self, and had 1t not been for the fact
that when searched certain college pa
pers were found on his person, he might
have preferred to remain just a plain
railroad tramp.
However, after much persuasion he
was asked to tell how he came to be
in the freight car and what he was
doing with the college paper. "a mis-
take by the Dartmouth faculty made a
tramp of me-" said Lambe, but two
months on the road has taught me a
lesson, n 1 want to get back to my
folks in North Rochester, N. H."
Lambe declared that through a mis-
take in his examination papers he was
made a sophomore this year, when as
a matter of fact he should have been
a freshman. He called attention to the
mistake and h faculty FASTENED to
look into the matter. On his person
was found o letter to him ~apologizing
for the error. 1t was signed by the
president of Dartmouth College. 1t was
too late, however. to help him. Lambe
declares, and he left his old home to
seek new fields. He went down and
out in Trenton, n then a feeling of
homesickness came upon him. He
started to a his way home on
freights. He told the police h a he
thought he would never leave the
freight car alive, as the doors were
sealed tight and he was growing weak
from the lack of food. Luckily he
thought Of his ~penknife, n while
cutting his way out the railroad police
discovered him.
