BOROUGH BILL
HAS HEARING
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
TRENTON, Mar. 1S:-Politics has
commenced to make a football of the
legislative proposition to incorporate
the borough of South Plainfield, Mid
dleseX county, and it looks doubtful
now If either the Drake or Baker bill,
each of which provides for an incor-
poration, will get through the law
mill this season. There is in progress
at the State House this afternoon be-
fore the Committee on Boroughs and
Borough Commissions a hearing on
the Drake bill, House 19. The Baker
bill, No. 311, is also being consider
ed The hearing was arranged at the
request of Assemblyman Drake. The
hearing is being marked by the live
liest discussion over both incorporat-
ing propositions, and the opponents
of the borough idea are also on hand
with wellshotted verbal guns to de-
feat the plan entirely.

A MASSACRE
OF HEBREWS
IN ROUMANIA

NEW YORK, Mar 1S:-Accord-
ing to dispatches from Podihilo, near
the city of Jassy, in Roumania, a
massacre of Rounianian Jews has
been in progress for several days. 1t
is not definitely known how many
victims have fallen under the swords
and guns of the fahatical Jew-bait-
ers of that section of Roumania, but
it is feared that the numbers will
reach far into the hundreds.
The first intimation of the mas
sacre was received yesterday after
noon in a cablegram to the Jewish

THAW NOT TO
GO ON STAND

NEW YORK, Mar. 1S:-Unless all
expectations go wrong, the Hummel
affidavit will be admitted in evidence
at the trial of Harry X. Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White and Dis
trict Attorney Jerome will complete
his case today All that will be left
to the prosecutor then will be his
summing up, and this will come after
the defense has placed its witnesses
in sub-rebuttal on the stand. These
are eight in number, so far as the
defense itself knows at this tmie,and
there may be more before the case
goes much further
The testimony of more expert
alienists and six new and import
ant" witnesses forms the announce
ment of the Thaw lawyers. That
there will be any more hypothetical
questions, framed by Mr.. Delmas or
Mr. Hartridge of Thaws counsel, is
not regarded as likely. At all events
the more sanguine of the close fol-
lowers OF the trial think that Justice
Fitzgerald court will know the case
no more after the first two days of
next week.
1t is now generally conceded that
the defendant will not Rke the wit
ness stand in his own defense.

STRONG SAID TO HAVE SUMMONED DR..
CROWTHER TO TALK OVER SITUATION
ACCUSED OF
HORSE THEFT FREED

Max Berman, twenty-five years
old, of 1913 Broad street, a peddler
by trade, was arrested yesterday af-
ternoon at his home by Patrolman
McDermott on charge of horse
stealing. Berman was arraigned be-
fore the recorder this morning and
asserted that he had not taken Max
Rozsofsky's horse, as stated in the
complaint.
Joseph E. Stricken represented
the defendant and succeeded in caus-
ing the chief witness, N Kualand, to
make contradictory statements. Roz-
sofsky's horse and wagon were stol-
en- last Tuesday night while he was
in a store on State street. Kualand
told Rozsofsky a few days ago that
he had seen Berman in possession of

STEAMER HAS
SEARCHLICHT
ON THE RIVER

NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. 49,
The MiddleseX Transportation Com
pany resumed its freight service to-
day the steamer Robert w. Johnson
having been put in complete repair
and the river now being open for
navigation.
While the steamer has been laid up
for repairs this winter at West Brigh-
ton, Rushmore searchlight has been
installed. The idea is to prevent
collisions, particularly with launches,
motor boats and very small craf
which last year made the captain s
life miserable very often by scooting
under his bow. The searchlight is
fourteen inches in diameter and will
not only facilitate the speed of the
steamer, but reduce the chances of
accidents to minimum.

Air Was Full Of
RumOrS This
Morning.
CRITICAL TIME

1t is not probable that any an
pointment for Middlesex county will
be presented to the Legislature to-
night. The fight is too warm Just
yet and Governor Stokes is likely to
let things cool off before taking anv
decisive steps. That Boss Strong's
machine is in great peril seems to be
freely admitted on all sides and the
political gossip now has it that even
the boss himself is in danger
There was a choice lot of rumors
floating among the politicians this
morning concerning the matter There
is no little speculation as to what
the outcome will be. There is a feel
ing that the critical time has arrived
for Boss Strong's leadership and it
depends on one word from the gov
ernor whether the republican party
in this county shall continue to strug-
gle under his heavy handicap.
One of the first things heard today
was that Strong had hastily summon
ed DR.. Crowther to New Brunswick
to talk over his candidacy for George
j. Haney's place on the county tax
board.
All efforts to run down this report
failed for Dr.. Crowther left for Tren-
ton on an early train to attend the
session of the legislature and could
not be seen. 1t is said that Growth
er's friends urged him not to go, but
to ignore Strong altogether. This
Crowther is declared to have refused
to do, saying he would hear what
Strong had to say, but he was deter
minued TO stand firm in his fight.
What took place at the conference, of
course, is unknown. There are those,
however, who believe that Strong
and Crowther parted company for
good and all times.

the rig on that night. Rozsofsky
swore out a warrant at once but until
yesterday Berman could not be
found. Kualand contradicted himself
a number of times at the hearing this
morning. and 1t was shown that Ber-
man had merely been arrested on his
story Lawyer Stricken contended
that Berman was innocent and the
recorder dismissed the case. Berman
says he did not take the horse and
declares that he was in South River
at the time the horse was taken. The
police are still at work on the case
and expect to make other investiga-
tions,
1t is understood that Berman or
some of his friends have said that
he would start suit against Rozsof-
sky for false arrest.
