Paroles STAY:
RUMOR FALSE.
Report in the HazeItOu, Pa, Paper
That the Local Steel Plant
Would Leave Here.

superintendent c. II. Edwards, OF
the Pardee works, today declared
that there is no truth in the rumor
that their steel and iron mills are TO
be moved, as reported in the Hazel
ton, Pa, Daily Standard. as follows:
&C. Pardee Bros. & Co. are con-
templating the removal OF their big
steel and iron mills from Perth AM
boy, n. j., to Milnesyille. Should this
come 10 pass it would mean a big
industrial boom to this city, as the
firm employs over 1900 employees,
the greatest number of which, howev-
er. are Of the unskilled class. 1t is
claimend that there would be many
advantages in locating the mills at
Milnesville. principal of which would
be the easy acces of coal. 1t is also
claimed that there would be less diff
ficulty in securing steady, desirable
laborers at Milnesville than at Perth
Amboy. The stalking out of ground
at Milnesville would indicate that the
company has such astep in view. 1t
is also stated that the company pro-
poses the erection of a large number
of new houses at that place
Mr.. Edwards said he had seen the
above article, but he denied its truth
absolutely.

FRISCO MAYOR
is INDIGNANT.
Mayor SChmitz Denies the Doodle
Charges He Says VindiCa-

SAN FRANCISCO. March 2S.-May-
or Eugene Il. Schmitz in a statement
denied the truth of charges published
ia local papers to the effect that the
prosecution has abundant evidence that
SchmitZ protted to the extent of not
less than $685., O00 from participation in
the "boodling'' operations now under
investigation 10y a grand jury.
These charges he said. are mali
ciouSly false. and aS soon as | am af-
forded the legal opportunity | shall
prove them to be untrue"
He declared himself anxious for Il
speedy trial, but said it was unfair
fore any Judge in San Francisco, all OF
whom, he alleged, were biased. He
declared it outrageous that he should
he kept for four months under a foul
cloud, with the prospect that the trial
would be delayed for another four
months.
The mayor said this was no time for
libel suits. but when he had been tried
and judged by Il jury he would give no
quarter. He says his annual income
was $1,000. that he was o IL high
liver ana that he had not neglected OPP
portunities for investment. He said
that he had never made improper use
of these investments and would show
in court where he had got every penny
since he had been mayor and what he
had done with it.
The grand jury is trying to trace
the curse of the 100000 said to have
been sent from Los Angeles for the
alleged purpose of obtaining Il fran
chiSe for the Home Telephone compa-
NY. 1t is stated that the money was
sent to an Oakland bank to the credit
of the telephone company, then trans
ferred to another bank TO the credit of
the Empire Construction company, an
allied corporation.
The prosecution hopes TO show by
the books of the bank that the purpose
of changing the deposit was to cover
up the alleged payment Of money to
the supervisors.

LOCAL OPTION

Measure Which Led TO- the Expul-
sion of J. Frank Burke Will
Be Voted On.

prise most of the members of the
house yesterday, the judiciary COM
mittee reported the local option bill
which led last week to the expulsion
from the floor of the Rev. j. Frank
Burke. superintendent of the New
Jersey Anti-Saloon League, because
he was unable to s-ubstantiate charg-
es of conspiracy to kill the bill. Mr..
Burke afterward wrote letters to
each of the asesmblymen declaring
that the action by the house branded
them as against local option, but
afraid to show their colors.
Yesterdays report shows that
Messrs. Perkins, Jones and Wright
voted to put the bill on the floor
without recommendation, while Mes
Sis. Klenert and Alexander voted to
report it adversely. The measure
will be voted upon e week. 1t will

MAY KILL THE HIGH
LICENSE AGITATION,

ATLANTIC CITY, Mar. 2S-Well-
sounded oratorical promises in which
councilmen declared for the new high
license bill now before the city body
are forgotten by several members
since the liquor lobby got busy at the
last session and the pet measure of
reformers who would make the in
come from saloons at least equal the
expenditure for police is apparently
doomed. Proprietors of large saloons
say they are willing to accept the pro-
posed fee of $500. but the small
places have raised a protest, and sew
eral councilman, looking to their pol
itical future, are trembling lest their
declaration that they would consider
| only the best interests of the resort
in settling the license question, be
taken seriously.
Alderman Henry w. Leeds, who
has led the fight for higher license,
/ a. m. closing and better police reg
ulations, declared in a statement yes
terday that liquor dealers represent
ing SO per cent. of invested value II
SO per cent. per capita Interested, are
in favor of higher license. Based on
figures submitted by dealers them
selves. Mr.. Leeds statement puts the
situation in its first true light before
the public. Only intimidation of
councilman by a minority of saloon
keepers can defeat the bill for Il $500
fee. but interests f~avoring a continue
/ ton of the present $3.50 fee are al
ready celebrating their anticipated
victory.
Alderman Leeds, in his interview.
points out that liquor interests con
tribute taxes on but $4,000, 900 out
of the $50, 600. 900 taXables Of the
city, and that in the hearing before
council The representatives Of the re
naming $40, 900, 900 have declared
emphatically for a $500 fee. Liquor
dealers. Mr.. Leeds declares, have
reaped heavily from The prosperity of
! the resort, but have failed to shoulder
their share of the increasing cost OF
municipal administration.
Prospects of Il sharp clash when
the high license ordinance reaches
final reading next week has centered
the interest of every politician in the
resort upon City Hall on hat date.
Beyond the license issue, politicians
say, will be the climax of the fight
of the reform regime to give the city
a more representative and advanced
administration than it has had for
years.

BEGIN WAR ON
MOSQUITOES.
JerSeyCiyBOard Of H~eaIthAWards
Contract for DitChing Prof.
Smith in Charge

JERSEY CITY, Mar. 2S:-To get
rid of mosquitoes the Jersey City
Board of Health at a special meeting
yesterday afternoon awarded a con-
tract for ditching the meadows on the
Hackensack river shore to James
Monahan, of Monmouth Beach, at
$4,000.
Professor John b. Smith, state en-
tomologist, who is conducting the
crusade against the salt marsh mos
quito, was present and outlined the
plans by which he expects to prevent
the breeding OF mosquitoes on the
salt marshes in Jersey City this
spring. although the work here"
he said, involves the digging of
twenty miles of bitches | am conf
dent that ii can be accomplished in
four weeks, so that if the contractor
begins work by Monday the marshes
will be drained by May. The first
crop OF mosquitoes generally appears
at the end of the first week in May,
and if work is started at once | can
almost guarantee that Jersey City
will experience little trouble from
salt marsh mosquitoes the coming
summer.
III, however, II Is found impossible
to complete the ditching by that time
i will arrange to spray the meadows
with oil so that the first crop will be
killed off. | will supervise the work
and will have the contractor con
struct the large outlet bitches first
and then build the laterals in the
worst spots, so that the greater por-
ton of the mosquito larvae deposited
there may be washed out by the tides.
1T is important that work begin at
once, for should we have a spell of
warm weather the 'wigglers' will APP
pear before the first week in May. On
that account | will give the work
personal supervision and | request
that you make my assistant, Mr.. II.
II. Brehme, a special deputy of your
board in order that we may be vested
with proper authority"
The request as TO Mr.. Brehme was
complied with. James Monahan con
structed the bitches on the Newark
meadows. He is now doing similar
work on the Elizabeth meadows.
