WILL BEGIN BRIDGE
SPANS NEXT MONDAY
Brought
To the Scene
Last Night.

The Amboy bridge will be closed
on Monday to allow the building of
the three steel spans. Freeholdar
Hanson notified the bridgetenders
yesterday that the bridge would be
closed on Monday and that they
would be laid off after April /.
Contractors Snare & Trieste, who
are TO build the spans, were notified
few days ago by County Engineer
and that it was the wish of the Board
of Freeholders that. they start work
at once The contractors replied that
they were ready and would have their
apparatus on the ground at once. Last
night two pile drivers, large derrick
and two floats arrived at the bridge
and the preliminary work is now I'M
der way. One of the men on the pile
driver said this morning that they
would commence operations on Mon
day and that the first work would be
to tear out a portion of the bridge,
south of the draw.
IS near as can be learned the work
of building the three steel spans OF
$50 feet each, will take at least four
months, during which time the bridge
will be closed. With the closing OF
the bridge, the eight bridgemen who
are now employed on the structure
will be out of work. The men are
wrought up over the matter and de-
clare that they were appointed by the
year and do not see how they can be
laid off indefinitely.
D. ID. Williamson, of New Bruins
wick, who supervised the erection OF
the federal building here, has been
appointed inspector of the bridge
work.

STOLEN RIG
is RETURNED

Detective Huff went to South River
yesterday afternoon and secured the
horse and wagon owned by Max Roz-
sofsky, of this city, which was stolen
while he was in a store on State
street last week. He delivered the
rig to RoXsofsky yesterday after
noon
The rig was found on a road near
South River on the day following its
disappearance from this city, and
was taken to South River, where a
grocer took care of it until yesterday.
When the grocer learned that a rig
was missing from this city he noti-
fled the local police and they identi-
fed it. The police say they know the
name of the thief and Rozsofsky was
to have appeared this morning to
make out d complaint against him,
but failed TO do so.
In the story in the NEWS yester-
day entitled "Stolen Horse Is Locat-
ed" the name of David Berman
should have been Max Berman. David
Berman was not arrested on the

Justice Fitzgerald pithily pointed out
that there had been opportunities for

he had neglected them and asked the
district attorney for an explanation.
A week ago when he secured from
his experts their statements that Thaw
was Il victim of paranoia and was prac-
tically lncurabls, he might have brought

Justice Fitzgerald evidently felt that
he had not been dealt with fairly.

DALE GETS 5
YEARS IN THE
STATE PRISON
Judge Found He Was Trying to
Deceive the Court and Sen
tenCe Followed.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Mar. 22:--
Richard j. Dale, accused of robbing
the poor box in Slavish church in
Perth Amboy, was sentenced to five
years in state prison by Judge
Booraem this morning. Dale's case
was put off week ago pending an in
yestigation of his record. He at first
said this was his first offense Today,
through his counsel he admitted that
he had been arrested once before un-
der the name of Clark, but declared
that was the only time. The investi-
cation on the part of the court, how
ever, showed that he had been con-
victed four different times. He was
asked if he had ever travelled under
the name of George Adams or Will
liam Weiss. He denied it. Later he
admitted having used the name Ad-
ans.
The judge accused Dale of not only
deceiving the court, but of deceiving
his counsel also. He declared he be-
lieved Dale was professional crook.

LINCOLN
SOCIETY
PLEASES
Open Meeting at High School
Attended by Many Parents and
Friends Of Pupils.

The Lincoln Literary Society held
an open meeting in the. high school
auditorium last night and highly
interesting program was carried out.
large number of parents and
friends filled the auditorium.
A debate was held on the follow
ing subject: Resolved, That con-
stitutional amendment should be
adopted for the election of United
States senators by the direct vote of
the people," On the affirmative We're
Ingvard Greisen, David Wilmer and
Miss Rachel Wedeen, and the mega
tive speakers were Leo Steiner,
Adolph Quadt and Miss Irene Rock.
The question was splendidly argued
and the hard-earned decision was
awarded to the negative side by the
judges, " Main, A. Colyer and n.
Nielsen.
Members of the high school chorus
sang the high school song and Mat
thew Urbanski played a piano solo.
His rendition was so heartily APP
plauded that he was compelled to
give an encore.
Miss Rose Wallace earned much
commendation by her reading on
Abraham Lincoln" Fred BRIGGS
pleased his hearers with violin Sc
lection, accompanied by Miss Bessie
Pullen.
A feature of the program was the
presentation of the witches scene
from Macbeth, by the Misses Edith
Crowell, Jetta Stacey and Marguer-
| ite Boughton. The house was dark
ened and the stage was lighted solely
| by footlights and light under a
caldron. The performance earned
much applause.
This was followed by another selec-
| tion by the chorus.
The meeting was carried out in
regular form, the president, Chris
| tian Nielsen, and secretary, William
Fraser, being seated on the plat
form. The affair was very satisfac-
tory and the Franklin society will
hold an open meeting along similar
lines The committee was composed
of Miss Clark and Mr.. Hitzelberg, of
the faculty.

SITUATION
TO GOVERNOR STOKES
Big Delegation Of
Republicans
at Trenton.

A big delegation of Middlesex re-
publicans is in Trenton today calling
upon the governor in an effort to de-
feat Theodore Strong's re-appoint-
ment on the State Board OF Assessors.
Some of the more prominent polite
ians of this city, Woodbridge, Me-
tuchen, South Amboy and New
Brunswick are in the party and the
showing is expected to make decid-
ed impression on the governor.
These men argue that the reap
pointment of Theodore Strong will
mean the loss of Middlesex county to
the republicans this fall. They have
facts and figures to back their argu-
ments.
1t is understood that Strong is
fighting with all the power he pos
sesses and is determined to show his
enemies that he is not done for yet.
The governor is at sea in the mat
ter 1t is thought he does not want
to re-appoint Strong, but does not
know what else to do. 1t is probable
that the showing made by the delega-
tion before him today will convince
him that Strong no longer has the
party behind him.
Col. Fordyce Here.
Col Alexander r. Fordyce. Jr
the father of the revolt against the
bosssm of Theodore Strong, was in
this city yesterday afternoon and was
greatly interested in recent political
events. The colonel did not seen
very sad over the turn affair had
taken, but he was greatly surprised
at the action of some of the men
whose denunciatiens of all this re-
form of a few months ago were still
ringing in his ears.
1t was particularly amusing to him
to see the very men who declared the
reform movement was merely q
scheme of soreheads" to get in Of
flee, scrambling among themselves
and rejecting their boss to get places
The whole thing, from an independ'
ent position, is extremely amusing.
Col. Fordyce will again take pos
session of his farm at Dayton May /
He has been spending the winter
months with Mrs Fordyce's parents
in East Orange. He says it is toe
early to DISCUSS politics for this fall
