TO COMPLAIN
IN WRITING.

Mayor Bollschweiler expects to re-
ceive a written complaint from Chief
Special Officer John X. Lodge, of the
Central railroad, who was in this
city Wednesday and had an inter
view with the mayor relative to max
ing the city pay for the injuries to
John Zarinna, flagman of the rail-
road, who was run over and seriously
injured by one of the city wagons on
August 1
Mr.. Bollschweiler said this morn
ing that when the official stated his
claim, the mayor said: "Mr. Lodge,
| think your railroad has very little
claim on our city. Time and again
accidents have happened here
through your negligence. Time and
again We have sought in vain for a
new railroad station and have re-
ceived empty promises. Just as soon
as slight accident occurs on our side
of the fence the railroad company has
nerve enough to ask us for damages
The citizens of Perth Amboy are
against you and l doubt if they are
willing to pay Zarinna's hospital bill
or any other damages"
Officer Lodge thanked the mayor
for his reply and departed, promising
to make a written complaint, which
the mayor has not yet received.

Visited This City Yesterday and
Talked With Political
Leaders.
STRONC'S FORCES ACTIVE
Fight Is for Principles and Cand-
idates Should Go on Record
as to Where They Stand.

Colonel Alexander r. Fordyce, Jr.,
was local visitor yesterday looking
into the political situation in this end
of the county. He is optimistic in
his views and declares that while
there is every reason to believe Theo-
dore Strong Is working quietly to get
control of the county convention, he
will be defeated and his turn-down
will be complete.
Colonel Fordyce talked with sew
eral local politicians and learned
about the fights being carried on
here He says every candidate nom
mated should go on record as to
what he stands for, so that the people
can know how to vote.
AS to the chances of republican
success this fall, the colonel said that
harmony is what is needed in the re-
publican ranks and the best way to
get harmony is for all to unite on the
New Idea principle which is now be-
ing generally recognized throughout
the state, namely, the popular choice
OF United States senators, open pri-
maries, civil service, and so on. All
of these have been recommended by
Governor Stokes in his messages and
can be accepted by every good repub-
lican, if he is willing to put aside his
factional feelings.
81 don't care who the. candidates
are," continued the colonel, 'as long
as those candidates declare them
selves as favorable to the principles
involved. 'Dory' Strong himself can
select the men for all | care, as long
as those men will pledge themselves
to bring about the reforms so much
needed in our politics. This is a
fight for Notwithstanding else If
the planks in the New Idea platform
are adopted all bossism will be abol-
ished. This is what we want.
'In travelling about the county
find that all those who stood by the
reform movement last year are still
with us, and we have reason to be-
lieve we have gained others. | do
not believe that 'Dory' Strong will
be able to control the convention"
Colonel Fordyce said he had .peti-
tions prepared for every polling place
in the county, and where it was
known that the delegates already
named were likely to be controlled
by Strong, another set of delegates
will be put in the field.

She Takes the Poison In What
is Believed TO be a
Mistake.
AT SEASIDE HOSPITAL.
Was TO Have Come Here Next
Week to Take Charge Of
Local Hospital.

Miss Ida NJ Wilson, of Wood
bridge, the first nurse to graduate
from the local hospital, died of car.
bolic acid poisoning at the Seaside
hospital at New Dorp, S. l., last night
The authorities at the hospital, as
well as the young woman's family de-
ny any suicide theory, declaring that
mistake was made in picking out
the wrong bottle. She was to have left
the Seaside hospital next week to
come to the Perth Amboy hospital to
take charge while the local head
nurse, Miss Bamber, went on her va
cation. NfS
DR.. w. e. Ramsay, of this city, was
summoned last night after Miss
Wilson was found suffering DR.. Ram
say at once made efforts to obtain an
automobile to take him to New Dorp,
but, before starting, he 'phoned and
learned that 1t was too late.
At the autopsy this morning it was
determined that death was caused by
the carbOlic acid. Overwork is
blamed for Miss Wilson's sad end.
Miss Wilson was in this city yes
terday and completed arrangements
whereby she was to come here and
take charge. She visited her brother
and was in excellent spirits.
Late yesterday afternoon she went
to New Dorp to go on duty at the
hospital as night matron. She de-
clined to have supper, claiming she
did not feel we'll Later, some toast
was made for her, but she refused
1t, stating that she would take some
thing for her stomach. She then
passed into the medicine room and a
few minutes later she called for help
stating that she had taken carbolic
acid. She died shortly afterward.
1t is supposed that she went into
the medicine room intending to take
some medicine and accidentally got
hold of the bottle of carbolic acid,
drinking much of its contents before
she was aware of the mistake
Miss Wilson graduated from the
local hospital May 8, 1906, at the
first graduating exercises ever held
by the institution. Her diploma was
presented to her by DR.. j. G. Wilson.
The ceremony took place in the high
school auditorium and was attended

The members of the County Board
of Taxation visited Woodbridge yes
terday in an endeavor to straighten
out the assessments there.
AS was told in the NEWS several
weeks ago, the assessments in Wood

their work there in one day. Clerk

Delegates fromthe
Various Unions
Had Meeting.
DELAY ACTION
A Meeting Has Not Been Held
Since April % and the Speak
ers Impress Upon the Men
the Value of Getting
Together.

Delegates from the various trades
unions of the city met in Union Hall
last night for the purpose of re-or-
ganizing the Central Labor Union,
but they did not reach decision and
the organization project was post
poned for two weeks.
George S. Walker presided at the
meeting. Before introducing the
speakers he said that the meeting was
held for the purpose of putting the
Central Labor Union on its feet again.
He said that it was in dilapidated
condition, and that, while meetings
ought to be held every few weeks
none had been held by the local union
since April 23. He urged the union
men present to rally together once
more for their own protection.
The first speaker introduced was
Thomas Pendegrast, of New York, a
friend of Mr.. Walker. He made an
excellent address on 1.-The Power of
Unions. He said that just as Nj
agara Falls is strong because it unites
and concentrates it's energy at one
point, so union men can gain strength
by joining together and working to-
ward the same end. He was loudly
applauded at the conclusion of his
address.
The next speaker was Morris J.
Beck, of New York. He spoke along
the same lines, encouraging the men
to get together to further their own
interests.
The last speaker introduced wos
Organizer Thomas H. Flynn. He
spoke plainly to the men and said
that the local union had gone to
pieces because of the different ma
tionalities of it's members. He de-
clared that race hatred and petty
jealousies were chiefly responsible
for the disintegration of the union in
this city. He emphasized the value
of having union in which, in spite
of race or color, the interests and
aims of the members are one. He de-
nounced union men who buy non-un-
ion goods and smoke non-union to-
bacco. He said that one of the strik-
ers who spoke at South Amboy We'd
nesday night rolled cigarette from
non-union tobacco while he was talk
ing. Mr.. Flynn urged the delegates
to remain after the meeting and re-
new their charter.
After Mr.. Pendegrast had spoken
for a second time the open meeting
ended and the delegates got together
but were unable to reach an agree
ment. George S. Walker and Charles
Beck were appointed committee to
be present at the local union meet
ings and impress upon the minds of
the union men the necessity of get
ting together.
