AFTER LODGING PLACES.
Special Attention to Second Ward
Where Registration Took a
Big Jump.

Detectives are now at work in this
city, particularly the second ward, on
a hunt for evidences of colonization,
or the illegal padding of the registry
lists by bringing men in to help
swell the vote next Tuesday
There are five !. detectives from
Trenton here todaysand at noon, when
only part Of the registry list in
the second ward had been investigat-
ed, the had conclusive evidence of
from fifteen to twenty discrepancies
in the registration in that district.
In some cases the man registered was
either not known at the address CIV
en- or had left there.
The detectives had a conference
with their chief at noon and again
set forth, following up every clue.
They will remain here until election
day and there will be, in all, twenty
eight detectives from Trenton and
Philadelphia Monday night and cleo
tion day, in charge of the same agen-
cy.
In one case a man said to be an
election officer in one ward is regis
tered in another SO the detectives
believe.

by the State Board of Elections and
the chief reason for such action is the
extraordinary increase in the regis
tration in the second ward 1t is con-
sidered improbable that there are
over 100 more men entitled to suf-
frage in the second ward than last
year. The detectives have been put
to work at the instance of the repub-
lican county committee, and they set
out this morning. They are inves-
tigating lodging houses and other
places where men are registered in
larger number than the places of
residence given by them are supposed
to usually contain. On place on First

street, prominent politician said
this morning, has six men registered

DUMP QUESTION
A SERIOUS ONE
Present Disposal Sites Nearing
Capacity and Other Means
Will Be Necessary.
FOR NEXT YEARS CONTRACT.

The local health authorities report
the city's dumps nearly filed. and,
by the time to award next years con-
tract, the city will probably have to
seek other places to dispose of its
garbage.
Health Inspector Brewster and
Mayor Bollschw eiler thoroughly dis
cussed the matter few days ago and
came to the conclusion that The only
available method of disposing of the
rbbish would be to send it ont and
dump it at sea or destroy it in ]
crematory. The latter method is
rather expensive for city of this
size and the former method is moi
recommended where it has been tried
as the rubbish usually drifts back to
shore and creates a, nuisance along
the water front.
At the present time the health au-
thorities report the three dumping
places in sanitary condition, but the
Second street place will soon be filled
to the street level and the JOhnstone
street dump is rapidly being filled.

Governor Relates Circumstances
Under Which He Signed The
MeaSure-FO Part.
BLOOMFIELD HURLS LIE.
Made Speech In East Orange Last
kight In Which He Assalled
Fort and Stokes.

TRENTON. Nov. 2:-When the at
tention of Governor Stokes was call
ed yesterday to letters written by
him Charles A. Bloomfield of Me-
tuchen. concerning the signing of the
bill validating certain acts of the
Middlesex freeholders in connection
with the Amboy bridge, the governor
made the following statement:
THE Perth Amboy bridge bill was
a measure thoroughly discussed in
the legislature and in the public
press. 1t was curativemeasure to
validate bonds issued in connection
with the construction of the bridge
and sold to the public.
When the bill came before me.
carefully examined it and took pains
to get every source of information
possible as TO the propriety and mer-
it of the measure | would never
sign any bill knowingly that grants
immunity to wrongdoers or that
saves them from the consequences of
their wrongful acts.
II took special pains in this case
to ascertain whether this bill con-
tanned provisions that would enable
any wrongdoer to escape. That was
, legal question and | submitted 1t
for that reason to the attorney-gener-
al for a legal opinion. His opinion
assured be on this point. The attor-
ney-general was, of course, not pass
| ing upon the merits of the bill and
had no interest in the matter other
than to give me advice on questions
of law.
Judge Forts Connection.
1.-The connection of Judge Forts
name with the measure grew out of a
judicial opinion which he rendered
In that opinion he suggested the neeo
of curative legislation in connection
with the Perth Amboy bridge. Thi'
} was the basis for the statement tina
1.-The bill was drawn in accordance will
the suggestion of Judge Fort AM
J that he thought the bill should b
approved.
Judge Fort had no interest in tn
matter, and my consultation with dif
ferent individuals on the subject wa
merely to get the best light and in
formation possible, and cannot b
interpreted to evidence any interes
on the part of those individuals il
1.-THE bill or be made the basis of an as
sertion that they asked me to sign II
Il reached the conclusion that tn
bill was a proper one. l signed ]
: lupon its merits after careful inves
tigation and l am responsible for tha
signature. This is the exact state
ment of the case, and the attempt t
! give such Interpretation to incident

Candidate In An Auto.
specsa, to the EVENING NEWS:

TRENTON, Nov q Forwv
Senator .'Dory' Strong, of MiddleA
county, was in Trenton yesterday al
ternoon and, in an interview with the
NEWS correspondent, predicted q rex
publican victory in SMiddlesex qUIiutyA
next Tuesday. Judging by what 4
hear" he stated, the prospecf9'
of republican success in my county
are bright The candidates are very
confident after making / thorough
canvass of the county, and Nhat is the
feeling of the party generally"
Former Senator Strong called at
tention to the fact that Justice Fort.
the party nominee, formerly lived In
Middlesex county. He said the can
didate is very popular there and he
insisted that the republican record
for tax reduction and faithful admin
istration of public business has Gre
ated a strong under-current in h1o
bailiwick in favor of the G. O. 2.
Continuing, he said: Last yearssi
excitement over the Bishops bill has
practically died out; tax valuations
which were compulsorily raised there
last year remain about the same thia
year, while taxes generally are great
ly reduced \
The Cry Of BOssism.
The EVENING NEWS man VEN
tured to ask how the cry of bOssism,
which was alleged to have cut a big
figure in Middlesex county last year,
would work out this fall "Doryr
came right back with this answer
1.-The cry of bossism will furnish ~
one with an excuse this time for po-
litical laziness or treachery- This
year my opponents in the republics
party and their newspaper aids en-
rest on the proud consciousness that
no one is telling them what to 10.
In fact, they owe it to the party, 81
which they have created SO much dir
turbance, to vote the straight feD0f>
lican ticket this year. \.
For seven years these men 14t0
} been writing and rushing to each
successive governor with complaints
of one sort and another and it has
been growing Ronotonous. They are
takers and not workers. Now the
time has come when they should stop
| chattering and go to work. There Is
much other work to do besides sitting
as close as possible to the Candidate
in an automobile"
Is Out of Politics.
II am out of politics this year"
: was the next statement of Mr.
Strong, "and no amount of misrepre-
sentation can alter that fact. One
would think from reading some OF
newspapers that / am wildly anx-
,us to plunge back into the drudg-
cry of a political campaign, with the
usual rewards in view for so-called
political boss. namely: lack Of ap'
probation, ingratitude and lying
abuse.

A TRIUMPH
James 0'NeiII and His Capable
Company Pleased Audience
at The Majestic.
A STRONG PIECE OF ACTING;

James O'Neill appeared last night
at the Majestic theatre in "Virgini-
u.s." the mastery tragedy by Sheri-
dan Knowles, with a capable cast,
and, by their strong presentation,
won warm place in the esteem of
the fashionable audience which filled
the playhouse.
Mr.. O'Neill makes Virginius real,
live character breathing forth the
very spirit of the Roman father who
slew his only daughter rather than
see her dishonored at the hands OF
the tyrant, Appius, who later pays
the penalty with his own life, by Vir-
ginius' hand The magnetic quality
of Mr.. O'Neill's voice and acting
thrilled his hearers and won curtain
call after curtain call
Norman Hackett also scored an In
dividual triumph in the role of lei
Illus, the betrothed of Virgihius
daughter. Miss Alice Fleming wa.
a capable Virginia, but the other wo
men in the cast might have made
more of their roles. The Appius o
Charles Herman was not all it shoult
have been, but Joseph Slaytor wa
excellent as Pentatus.
The play is masterpiece of stage
craft and it was the most importan
offering yet seen here by long odds.
