GAM BLING
MACHINES
IN HIS BARN

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. g.
County Prosecutor George Berdine,
annoyed by frequent insinuations that
he had disposed of slot machines
which he seized in raids a couple of
years ago, has issued a general invi-
tation to all interested to call at his
barn and see the machines for them
selves. His barn is full of the gam
bling devices.
The prosecutors critics say that
he should have burned the machines
or totally destroyed them, according
to law. Mr.. Berdine explains that as
the machines were used as evidence
against w. j. Flynn, convisted of op-
Grating them, and as Flynn's applica-
ton for new trial is now pending, it
would be absurd to destroy the evil
dence. He says he had wrecked the
mechanism of the machines so that
they can never again be used. Once
stroyed the whole of the machines,
he said, and reprimanded him for it,
but said that it was all right when he
learned that only the mechanism had
been destroyed.
Mr.. Berdine points to the large
percentage of convictions which he
has secured. In his first year in Of
flee he secured conviction in every
case he tried in court.
He has attained the dislike of court
constables and officers by refusing to
o. K. their bills, or by cutting down
the amounts of the bills when he
thinks that the charges are too much
He declares there will be no graft in
officers bills as long as he is prose-
cutor.

FlREMEN HAVE
new RULESF0R
TURNING OUT.

At a meeting of the chief, assist
ant chiefs and foremen of the COM
panies of the local fire department
last night, Chief Mullen told the fore
men how to respond to test which
will soon be held and introduced sew
eral new plans for the improvement
of the department.
Mayor Bollschweiler was aroused
by the failure of box No. S5 to work
at Saturdays fire near the hospital
and also by the delay caused at the
lnslee street test recently. For that
reason he and Chief Mullen decided
to have a test at some time in the
near future to which all companies
will respond. The firemen do not
know where or when the test will be
held, but the taps for the test will be
"3-3." Mayor Bollschweiler is eager
to see how soon all the companies
can get to the scene of the supposed
conflagration and how smoothly they
and their apparatus will work.
At last nights meeting it was also
decided to sound two taps when a
fire is under control. According to
Chief Mullen's plans all firemen must
run to their houses at every alarm.
Those companies who are supposed
to answer the alarm will respond. The
other companies must be in their
houses and have their apparatus
ready to hasten out at any moment.
If the companies at the fire get it un
der control, two taps will be sound
ed and the firemen in the houses can
then go away. Three taps will be
sounded as heretofore, when all the
companies have returned to their
houses.
Another arrangement made at last
nights meeting was to have one
chemical engine at every fire. In the
future either the Eagles or Washing
tons will answer every alarm.
Meetings similar to the one last
night will be held on the second
Thursday of every month. The future
interests of the department will be
discussed and beneficial changes
made in the system. The following
were present last night: Chief
Eugene Mullen, First Assistant Chief
George E. Mead, Second Assistant
Chief George Larson, Foremen Ed
ward Dilts, Howard Cottrell, Theo-
dOre Aachenberg, John Reardon and
Charles Landback.

JUSTICE FORT
WILL ACCEPT
NOMINATION

NEWARK, Aug. 9:-While there
has been confidential understand
ing among political leaders that Su-
preme Court Justice John Franklin
Fort, of East Orange, would accept If
nominated by the republican party
for governor, and that he would re-
sign from the bench to make the run,
the first public announcement of the
judges attitude toward the guber-
Material situation was made in his
home last night. Building Commis-
sioner Edward I. Condit, at meet
ing of republicans of the second ward,
in which Judge Fort resides, stated
that letter had been received from
Judge Fort, who is travelling in Eu-
rope, in which he announced that he
would accept the nomination ii it
were offered by the state convention
next month, and that he would doff
his judicial robes and fight to give
his party the victory at the polls.
The gathering went formally on
record as favoring his candidacy TO
succeed Edward Casper Stokes.
Judge Fort will find opposition In
his own ward. The New Idea ele-
ment of the party is strong in East
Orange and in the second ward par
ticularly. The supreme court mem-
ber is looked upon as distinctively
! the regular organization candidate
for nomination, and the reformers
will work for Sheriff Frank H. Som

STRIKERS AND
GO. HOLD OUT
ACROSS RIVER

"The strike situation remains un-
nation vouchsafed today by the Of
ficials of the South Amboy terra cotts
works when asked as to the develop
ments in the trouble following the re-
fusal of the men to work with NJ P.
I. Macan, of this city, against whom
they have grudge dating from the
latter's relations with the men at the
Perth Amboy shop.
The Strikers have pickets on duty
and the officials evidently fear a pos.
sible outbreak on the part of the
men for they took steps today to pro-
tect the windows with wire in case
of the throwing of stones or other
missiles.
The strikers held a meeting in Nc
Kinley Hall on Elm street, this city
again yesterday afternoon and expect
to meet today to discuss the diff
Guilty. They have pickets who can
speak in the various native tongues
of the workmen and are endeavoring
to persuade new men not to go to
work at the plant.
The company is not disposed to
discharge Mr.. Macan at the request of
the workmen, and the strikers say
that they will not work with him.
Men in all the departments have
quit work at the plant, the strikers
said today, with the exception of the
draughtsmen and the kilnburners
The latter may quit tonight when the
present work in the kilns has been
completed. About two hundred men
are out at present.

DR.. M. S. Meinzer, the health in
spector of the public schools, was
present at last nights meeting of the
Board of Education and spoke on the
subject of fumigation, referring to
recommendation which, as told in
the NEWS, the board received from
the secretary of the Board of Health
at one of their recent meetings. That
letter said that Inspector Fithian ad-
vised that all of the schools be fu-
migated before the children return to
their. studies in September The
commissioners were not at all pleased
with the communication. They said
that they had school inspector of
their own to advise them when to
fumigate and needed no advice from
others. They coldly ordered the
communication to be filed at that
meeting, not even sending a reply.
After the business had been trans
acted at last nights meeting, Presi-
dent Crowell called upon Dr.. Meinzer,
who spoke in part as follows:

the janitors and | have learned that
they mop the floors with soap, water
and ammonia. That, with plenty of
fresh air and sunshine, is all the fu-
migation the schools need at present.
To fumigate all the schools would
cost between 5000 and $500, and |
should consider money wasted to
spend that amount for fumigation
1t is an actual fact that this city had
more cases of contagious disease last
winter, with all the fumigating, than
it had previously without it, If
contagious disease is found in a room,
fumigate that room, but to fumigate
all of the rooms in all of the schools
when there are probably no disease
germs in any of them, is not in my
opinion a wise move. l shall order
rooms to be fumigated where | deem
such action necessary but l do not
think it necessary at the present
time"
