COvERNOR'SSTATEMENT

A conference of automobilists rep
resenting the American Automobile
Association and the Associated Au-
tOmobne Clubs of New Jersey will
probably be held in Trenton this week
to discuss plans for the holding of the
Vanderbilt cup race in this state
provided the senate passes the special
automobile bill The members of the
racing board admitted yesterday that
they expected to meet with some op-
position, but it was said that nine SEN
ators are already in favor of the bill.
II this is so, the qnestion arises, can
two other senator's be obtained to vote
for the bill and thus enable it to come
before Governor Stokes for his sig
nature?
Senator Frelinghuysen, who is i'll
at Chicago, has recently announced
his opposition to the holding of the
cup race over New Jersey roads. He
is the author of the present New Jer-
sey auto law and motorists say that
they could not consistently expect
else from him. The senator
says:
II have telegraphed protest to
Governor Stokes and Senator Hill
lery against the suspension of the su-
tomobile law and the enactment of a
provision to permit automobile racing
in New Jersey. Illness prevents me
from being present to offer my op-
position in person, but l want the peo-
pie of my county and state to know
that | am opposed to any revision of
the automobile laws, because it
means more accidents and greater
menace to human life. To lease the
highways of our state to non-resi-
dents for dangerous automobile rae
ing is nothing less than condoning
manslaughter."

sisting of three officers and eighteen
men, were epveloped in fire, and re-
ceived horrible burns, one officer and

UNI TE TO 4
CONDUCT
A STORE.
Foreigners Form
A ACo-o!perative
Business.
JOS. CADEK INTERESTED

Plans are being made for opening
cooperative store among the for
eigners of North Amboy. The idea is
for each man to invest $50 in the en-
terprise and then trade exclusively at
that place. The profits are to be di-
vided.
Among those prominently identi-
fled with the movement is Joseph Ga
dek. Mr.. Gadek was in New York all
day yesterday. Last night when call
ed up on the telephone, while NOT de-
nying that the store would soon be
opened, he refused to discuss the pro-
ject until today when he invited Il
NEWS reporter to call At O'Clock
this morning it was learned that MI.
Gadek had gone to New York again
and would not be back until night.
According to the best information
the store is to be conducted by Poles,
Hungarians and Slovaks. The $50
contributed by each man is to be used
to buy stock. After the place is open
ed, it is understood that a small fine
will be imposed upon anyone found
buying from any other merchant that
which could be bought at the CO.
operative store.
The advantages pointed out to the
foreigners to induce them to go into
the project are the low prices and a
share in the profits.

It Was Necessary Y
to Get Syrian
Driver Freed.
OBEY ONLY HIM
Oelozief Had Been Arrested for
Striking Abram Peters With
Rod Used on the Pachy-
derms-0ther Circus
Men in Trouble.

The four large Hippodrome ele-
plants which came to this city with
the Walter l.. Main shows were al
most stalled here last night because
of the arrest of John Delozier, a
Syrian.
Delozier is the only man in the
country whom the elephants will obey
and no other member of the show
company can make them move an
inch At II o'clock last night De-
lozier was arrested for hitting Abram
Peters, of 235 Elm street, in the lip
with the spear he uses on the ele-
plants.
The elephant driver was taken to
the police station. The show made
ready to proceed to Bayonne. Every
thing moved but the elephants, and
no amount of coaxing could induce
them to walk step without De-
lozier.
Some members of the company
went to the police station and eX-
planned their predicament. They
were told that the driver could not
be released without Recorder Pick
ersgill's consent. The party then
went to the recorders house on Wa
He gave orders to release Delozier,
and the elephants moved on their
way.
Other Circus Men i'm Trouble.
Samuel Miller, of Philadelphia,
who is in charge of the steam CALI
ope, was arrested by Patrolman Wood
for fighting on the circus grounds.
His eyes were both nearly closed as a
result of the fight. He was dis
charged this morning.
w. H. Leeds, stake driver, was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Pa
trolman Quinlan and Detective Huff
for being disorderly and insulting
girls on the show grounds. He was
also released this morning and told
to leave the city as soon as, possible.
The disorderly conduct of some
members of the show company may
be explained by the fact that the men
were paid Saturday night, just be-
fore their arrival in this city and
spent considerable money for liquor.
Detective Huff said this morning that
the trouble was increased by bad
feeling between the canvass men and
the stake drivers.
One of the aldermen suggests that
the circus ordinance be amended to
read that no employees of a circus
may be paid within three days previ-
GUS to their arrival in this city.
Tent Was damned Last Night.
The circus played to two large au-
diences and pretty nearly everyone
seemed pleased with the perform
ance. At night the tent was crowded
and the last 800 tickets were sold for
standing room only.
Powers famous Hippodrome ele-
plants were feature of the show.
They were well trained and their act
ing pleased the crowd. Prof. White s
dogs and ponies were exceedingly
good, and Judy, the trick mule, kept
the crowd laughing continuously. His
cake-walking and waltzing would
grace a dancing floor.
The circus left last night for Port
Richmond and Bayonne and three
weeks stay on Long Island.
