Party Hopes TO Gain Control Of
the Upper House al Com.
Ing Election.
THEIR FIGHTING CHANGE
Republican RevO|ts in Ocean and
Atlantic Counties Taken Ad-
vantage of-.0thers Also.
yDeoia, to the EVENING NEWS:


TRENTON, Sept 2S.-With the
most determined uprising against
the reelection of Senator George l..
Shinn in Ocean county, strong oppo-
sition for corporation reasons against
the reelection of Edmund Wakelee
in Bergen county, trouble for the re-
publicans in Atlantic county because
the G. o. P. county bosses defied a
public clamor against nominating a
partisan ring candidate for senator;
and finally with strong criticism
against the republicans in Mercer
county because of the allegation that
Senator Barton B. Hutchinson was
thrown down for denomination af-
ter he had been positively slated, it
looks as though the chances for the
democrats to gain several seats in
the senate next November were very
hopeful.
The senate now stands fifteen re-
publicans to six democrats and seven
senators are to be elected this fall
to take seats next January when the
new legislature will convene. The
democrats already have one advan-
tage in the situation in that only
one of the senators whose terms ex-
pire is a democrat. Thus there will
be five hold-overs among the demo-
of Hunterdon: Sill
zer of Middlesex; Hinchcliffe, Of Pas
sale; Price of Sussex, and Cornish,
of Warren. The democratic senator
whose term will expire is James F.
Minturn, of Hudson county, who is
now on the circuit court bench.
Hudson is sure to elect a democratic
senator so that party may be certain
of six senators at least in the new
legislature.
The state leaders are now figur-
ing out in which counties they may
make gains in the upper house. They
are claiming that Ocean will be al
most certain to elect a democrat tc
the senate owing to the great oppo-
sition to Shinn.~ Shinn has been the
county boss for years and has been
behind the gang, which was respon-
sible for the conditions disclosed by
the investigation few months ago,
when it was shown that the treas
ury had been looted through graft
and many other irregularities prac-
ticed. Shinn has made himself OBJ
noxious to hundreds of republican
voters and it is now being openly
charged that after the primary cleo
tion resulted in choosing a majority
of anti-Shinn delegates to the sena-
torial convention, Shinn accomplish
ed his denomination, by trickery.

WIRING CAUSED
A DARK HOUSE

The Amboy theatre in New Bruins
wick avenue, was closed last might,
a result of an electric wiring in
Jection made yesterday by fire mn
derwriter inspectors. The Inspectors
state that permanent work, accord
ing to the rules of the board of fire
underwriters, must be installed.
There were as many as forty-seven
lights on a circuit where twenty-fOur
is the maximum number allowed,
and twenty-five and twenty-seven
lights on circuits, where only twelve
is allowed, it was declared. Such a
high percentage of overload on the
wires might have caused a fire, the
inspectors said, and there was no as
bestos lining about the switch and
cut-out boxes.
A number of the over-taxed wires
are being taken out today and a fif-
teen days permit may be given to
use the building. In that time per-
manent wiring will be installed. The
performance will be given as usual
tonight.

TO ABD|CATE,

LISBON. Portugal. Sept. 2S:-Boy-
cotted by practically all the leading
families in his realm, King Carlos has
weakened under the pressure brought
upon him by the allied opposition and
the party leaders and will probably alb

crown prince. He is said to have al
ready signitied his preference to sur
rendering rather than continuation of
the present persecution to which he has
lately been subjected. He fears pop

dinary military precautions are being
taken to maintain order. Troops are

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S:-Dis-
trict Attorney Kellogg. who is proce-
cutting the government case against
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, in New York, is comforting,
today, with the president and Attor-

visit was mainly to secure from the

the primary obejct of the hurried
visit is to go over the Hartman case
before the President leaves on his

COPPER OUTPUT
IS AGAIN CUT

Owing to the lack of purchases on
the part of the larger consumers even
at the present reduced quotations, the
Amalgamated Copper Company has or
dered another reduction in its output
to about so per cent of the normal pro-
duction. Unless large purchases are
soon made the original intention of the
management to close the mines alto
gether will be carried out. The cost
of production as a result of the falling
off in the output is now running within
few cents of the present quotations
for copper and certain companies are
producing the metal at a loss. The
official price is still fifteen cents a
pound, although it was reported yes
terday saQs ',..d been made at less.

RECORD OF A WONDERFUL DECADE

The record of the past decade In polar
explorations is both inspiring and signi-
flCant. Compared with all that has been
done and known before, the achievements
Of the last ten years bulk larger than
those of centuries, large almost than the
sum total Of the entire past. Tho world
reckons the disappearance of the Spanish
flag from the western hemisphere, the
partitionlng of Africa and the European
Asiastic struggle on the plains Of Man
churia, as among the mlestones of the
last decade.
Yet in the polar zones, and so far as
polar exploration and discovery go, events
OF greater relative and ultimative impor-
lance have TRANSFERRED For In the decade
now closing, the victory in the age-long
struggle has been won the polar mystery
solved, and the terra incosnlta Of all for
mer time practically eliminated from the
map. Credit must be appreciated among
several each deserving liberal praise. and
it is also due TO many, who Indirectly and
unconsciously, by experiment and re-
searches primarily for other purposes.
