Foe CAUSED UNUSUAL,
THINGS TO HAPPEN.
Boats Held Up by the Dense Vapor
and People Have Strange Ex-
periences on the Streets.

The EVENING NEWS fog reporter
came in this morning with the fun
niest story yet The funniest part OF
it was that he believed it himself He
even said that the fog last night was
so heavy when he walked along shore
that it. pressed him down until he was
a half inch shorter than before. ut
tore the bark off trees and coated
some windows so thickly that they
couldn't be seen through this morn
ing, and scraped the paint off the
sides of houses and trolley cars. A
man who tried to hold up an umbrel-
la was borne to the ground by tho
weight of The vapor. A man who cut
chunk of the fog and ate it weighed
two pounds more than previously,
and boy who threw a baseball into
the air didn't hearit drop" All this
the reporter told and more. Many
men carried bicycle lamps to FIND
their way.
One fact, for which many will
vouch. was that the ground was soak
ing wet beneath the higher trees, ant
drops of water could be heard de
scending there, but elsewhere, ever
under the lower trees, the ground wal
as dry as a spellbinder's speech. Th'
scientific explanation advanced wa'
THAT the fog was condensed by con
i tact with the upper parts of the tree'

Judge BOOraem Turned Down
Application Because Bishops
Law Had Been Violated.
SUCCESSFUL FIGHTS IN COUNTY
Judge Booraem Is Giving All to I'm
derstand that He Meant What He
Said When He Declared that All
Law is to be CONGRATULATIONS
in the Cheesequake Case Proved
Gambling and TrafIiclSing Occurred.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Apr. 30:-
That Judge Booraem proposes to
have the liquor dealers of the county
strictly observe the Bishops law
while he is on the bench is shown by
his decision yesterday in the matter
of the application of James Graham
for a renewal of his license at Cheese
quakes, which he refused. There is
apparently no need of local option
bill in MiddlseX and the members
of the Anti-Saloon League are de-
lighted with the way the present
Judge is handling liquor cases.
In the Graham case, in which Sen
ator Silzer appeared for the appli-
cant and Lawyer G. T. Cowenhoven
for the remonstrants, evidence was
produced showing that dice had been
thrown there for drinks, that liquor
had been secured Sunday and that
minors had obtained liquor. John
Gaub testified yesterday that he had
won COW there at rattle and that
there wass a row there April Fools
day. Mrs. John Berdine also testified
against the place.
Technical Violations.
Senator Silzer in arguing the mat
ter said Graham had probably been
guilty of technical violation of the
law; that he had permitted dice
throwing which was frequently done
at hotels; that he had served drinks
| in one instance on Sunday when
some people who had attended flu
neral and were cold had secured IL
quor for which no pay was taken,yet
| there was insufficient evidence to
warrant the court in refusing the
mans application. He had been in
business there for some time and had
conducted his place properly hereto
fore
Judge Booraem held that all of the
claims made against the application
which had been proven, were viola
tions of the Bishops law and If he
granted the application he would only
have to revoke it upon presentation
of this evidence and he say no reason
for undoing the next day what had
been done the day before. He would
threfore refuse the licnse.
No Hotel at Cheesequakes.
This leaves Cheesequakes without
a hotel as the application of Jerry
Harrington, against which there was
also opposition, was withdrawn. Some
of the witnesses in this case testified
that the place could not get alons
without hotel, and it will not have
the opportunity.
The fights against licenses have
been mostly successful at this term o
court The court refused the appli
cation of David Gross, of Metuchen
and that of Mrs. Catharine Book, o
Sewaren. The only successful one OF
the part of the applicant agains
which opposition was made was tha
of John H. Elliott, of Cranbury
where the court held the hotel to b
necessity.

Secretary of State Makes a
Statement Correcting Impress

EXTENDS THE TERM OF SOME
New Law Provides that the Legis-
lature May Appoint as Many Com
missioners for Each Place as il
Thinks Necessary--A State Fee of
So, Not 81, Shall be Charged
Must Qualify; Then Commissions.
Special to The EVENING NEWS:

Special 10 the EF ENING NE WS.
TRENTON, Apr. 30:-With ref
erence to the new law just approved
by Governor Stokes relating to the
terms of Office of Commissioners of
Deeds, j. B. r. Smith, assistant sec
retary of state, today made state
sion that has gotten abroad that a
great many commissioners have been
legislated out of Office.
Mr.. Smith points out that not only
have no commissioners had their po-
sitions abolished, but on the contrary
many of them have had their COM
missions extended. Mr.. Smith said:
Mr.. Smiths Statement.
"The facts are that so far from
legislating out of office any commits
sioners of deeds the new law does
just the opposite, providing that the
term of Office of all commissioners
now in commission shall be extended
from April / to May l in the year in
which their commissions expire The
new law was approved April 13, and
of course. did not become retroactive,
so far as concerned those officers
1907. as they were actually out of
Office at the time the bill was signed;
but it does extend the terms of all
commissioners now in commission
from the first of April to the first of
May of the year in which their com
missions expire. The effect of this is
not only not to legislate out of office
those commissioners of deeds now in
office, but to extend the terms from
April to May 1 of the year in which
their commissions expire.
The Changes Made by the Law.
"The changes which the new law
make are: First, that the legislature
may appoint as many commissioners
for each town, township, borough or
ward. as in it's judgment is necessary
for the respective communities; sec
ond, it provides for state fee of SIS
instead of 81 formerly paid, and re-
auires the appointees to qualify be-
fore their commissions are issued.
"The reason for the first change
was that in many municipalities and
wards. the maximum under the old
law was less than the number of COM
missioners actually necessary or de-
sirable: while in many other locall-
ties the maximum number was great
er than was necessary. In conse-
uuence the legislature would appoint
large numbers of persons who had nc
desire to qualify. Some appointees
would take out their commissions be-
cause it cost them practically nothing
to do so; while others-and their
number was about forty per cent. OF
the whole number ppointed-would
,decline to take out their commissions
at all, with the result that a large
amount of time and money was spent
in preparing these commissions, only
to have them returned and destroyed
The new law will serve those Wne
actually need the commissions. Ihe
fee was fixed at SIS instead OF 81 pc
: cause it was held that any persoi
; who really desired the commission
would find the SIS fee no hardship.
