State Department Was Appealed
TO by Prosecutor to Foil Steam
ship Lines Demands.
LOCAL MEN ARE DUE MONDAY.
The Holland Line Demanded ST 800
to Bring Party Back and Would
Not Reduce Demand Below $500,
an Exorbitant Figure-Fonnd Way
to Evade Treaty for Extradition
and to Retrun by Belgium Line.

S. F. Somogyi and l.. B. Moore, of
this city, are due to arrive Monday on
the steamer New Amsterdam, of the
Holland-American line, with Joseph
Deutsch, the absconding banker ex-
tradited from Holland Prosecutor
Berdine is uncertain whether they
are on Holland or Belgium line
steamship, but letter received by
C. F. Moore, of this city, seems to es-
tablish the fact of their sailing last
Saturday at noon on the New Amster-
day as told in Thursdays NEWS.
1t will be remembered that the
Holland line demanded $1,000 for
bringing the party over because, the
officials said, they couldn't allow a
man accused of crime to mingle with
the other passengers. The prosecutor
thought this looked like hold-up
The extradition treaty with Holland,
as with other countries, demands
that prisoner be returned by the
most direct route. This provision
gave the Holland line seeming
monopoly in the business. The pros
scutor managed to get the price drop
ped to $500, but thought that even
that was pretty high when the regu-
lar first class rate on the Holland
line is $S5 per head.
Mr.. Berdine took the matter up
with the state department at Wash
ngton and Secretary Root arranged
.hings through the consulates so that
Deutsch could be brought back on
he Belgium line if the Holland per-
sisted in sticking up to it's prices. This
ruling was communicated to Somogyi
and as nothing further has been
heard from him, the prosecutor pre-
sumes that ail is well. Sufficient
money was sent Somogyi to bring the
party home

to provide modern, up-to-date recrea-
tion grounds. The tract reaches from

A member fo the company said that
the price is in excess of $25, 900 He

to be substantially correct. The tract
extends from South Second street, the
first street this side of the New York

The recent fatal accidents on the
this city has caused the public to be-
come aroused and the death of David
Wilmer at the New Brunswick ave-
nue. crossing of the Central railroad
Tuesday night, has resulted in a
number of petitions being circulated
relative to having the crossings in
the city guarded.
Five petitions have been circulated
and already several hundred people
have signed them. The petitions will
be presented to the Board of Alder
men on Monday night. The first of
the petitions was circulated by Jo-
seph Polllowitz, who has secured over
$50 signers. Among those who have
placed their names on the paper are
some of our most prominent citizens,
including some of the aldermen and
Mayor Bollschweiler.
Mr.. Polkowitz said this morning
that the signers of the petition plac-
ed their names on it eagerly and were
anxious to have the railroad compan-
les forced to take action for the safe
ty of the public, either by having a
gateman on all night, or by raising
the tracks, He said that, if possible
lover 1900 signers would be secured
before Monday night.
The Board of Aldermen mas been
in conference with railroad compan-
les relative to having gatemen placed
on the crossings for some time, but
as yet no decision has been reached.
A motion in regard to the matter was
made at meeting of the board by
Alderman Stacey, who said this morn
ing that the circulation of the petit
tions is another step toward forcing
the railroads to take action.
The coroner's jury at the Wilmer
inquest yesterday, as told in the
NEWS, found the Central railroad re-
sponsible for failure to have a gate
man on duty, and. in addition to the
verdict, handed in a recommendation
to the authorities of the city that they
demand the operation of the gates
throughout the twenty-four hours

RumOr at State House, Trenton,
That Governor Will Act in

MAY RE0RGANIzE THE BOARD.
Testimony in the Investigation Being
Conducted by the Assembly Com
mittee Shows Loose Method of Do
ing Business and Ii Is Believed 1t
Will Reflect Upon the Republican
Administration i'm New Jersey.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:


TRENTON, May 1S:-There is
persistent rumor about the state
house that Governor Stokes will ask
for the resignation of Game Commits
sioners Benjamin p Morris, of Long
Branch; David P. Mcclellan, of Nor
ristown, and Percy H. Johnson, of
Bloomfield, as the result of the dis
closures of alleged graft and crook,
edness in the fish and game commits
sion made by the assembly probing
committee The rumor has not been
officially confirmed, but from per-
fectly reliable source it is known
that the governor is considering the
matter of the designations.
Week to Compile Evidence.
AT the close of the examination of
neutrality-suspicious. Morris
Wednesday, the Investigators gave
him week in which to compile from
the books and records of the commits
sion certain evidence which he insist
ed he could produce, but which he
was unable to locate in the books
and vouchers when on the witness
stand. 1t may be that Governor
CIOhSS inlay QSIer dCIlOn until dIJ6f
the re-eXamination of Mr.. Morris on
the supposition that he may be able
to explain some of the transactions
and alleged deals that now appear SO
black. Counsel John H. Backes told
the other commissioners and officers
Thursday that they were not to con-
slider themselves excused from sub
poena, and it is believed that after
the re-examination of Mr.. Morris the
Fish and Game Commission will be
taken up again, particularly if fur
ther evidence does not upset the pres
ent testimony.
1t is considered likely that the re-
suit of the investigation will be a
move for the entire reorganization of
the Fish and Game board. The view
is taken that the showing of lax and
careless methods of the commission
ers, the alleged deals OF Commission
er Johnson, and the evidence of graft
by many of the wardens and other
officials is not at all complimentary
to the present administration. This
has led to the belief that the state
leaders will demand reformation in
fish and game matters all along the
line.
