tructiOn by Flames.


For the first time in the history of
the "Flatiron Hose Company they
attended a real fire this morning, and
extinguished a blaze in the front
room in the dwelling at LOG Fayette

vegetable stand at 10I Smith street
When the Flatirons arrived on the
scene, after a scream of help and fire
from some of the neighbors. they found
the front room enveloped in flames.
Two bedsteads We're ablaZe, as We're
the curtains and woodwork about the
window. With the use of pals and
water they did quick work in extin
gushing the flames and saving the
building.
The company acted under the super
intendence of Chief" j. ]. Flynn. 1t is
not known just how the fire started.

thus ignited the curtains or bedding.

BRACE THE ABuTMENT.
County Engineer Larsen and
Public Service Corporation
Official Decide.
TO BUILD WALL NEXT YEAR.
BY That Means It is Believed the
Structure May Be Made
Permanently Useful.

County Engineer Morgan f. Lar
son and the chief engineer of the
public service corporation have de-
cided not to disturb the Woodbridge
creek bridge this year.
The north abutment has been in
need of repair and was temporarily
repaired recently. Next summer the
engineers expect to have new wall
built under the north landing of the
structure. The landing on that side
has always been giving way since it
was erected, owing to the poor bot
tom.
This part of the bridge has been
temporarily repaired with heavy tim
bers A number of extra rollers
have also been placed on the turn
table of the structure, so that it
might be in good shape for winter
use No more trouble is anticipated
with the bridge or its mechanicism
for some time.

$500 Each.
ONE AMOUNT WAS PUT BACK.
Gadek Asserts That Society Owes
Him Money for Rental, Acting as
General, Travelling and the Like

A warrant has been issued and
served upon Joseph Gadek, of 765
state street, on a charge of forgery
preferred by Josef Rodzinska, presi-
dent of st. Stanislawa Biscupa Men
czenika Krakowskego society. Rod
zinska accuses Gadek of forging an
order for $500 on December 5 last.
The paper was made out to the or
der of the above society, charing their
account, and bearing the society S
signature and the endorsement Of
Joseph Ciejk, Michael Bigos and JOS
eph Gadek. 1t was drawn on the
Perth Amboy Trust Company
Gadek is also charged with forg-
ing paper for the same amount on
the Perth Amboy Iavings Institution,
dated December 81, and payable to
him on bank book No. 9,254, purport-
ing to be signed by Josef Cieszk,
Michael Bigos, Joseph Gadek and j..
Rogolia, and the above society.
Lawyer Joseph E. Stricken was in
court this morning to represent the
society. Gadek was there also. The
recorder then arranged to give the
case a hearing Tuesday afternoon,
November 19, at A o'clock.

bank has been put back Joseph
Ciejsk, u-is asserted, says his sigma
ture was secured by telling him it
was needed SO as 10 make a deposit
of SIS. Bigos says he cannot even
write and declares that his name was
forged. 1t was necessary to have the
signatures of three members of the
society to draw from the society's ac-
count.
Gadek claims that the society owed
him some money, aggregating in the
neighborhood of $500, but his bill
against the society includes an item
of 5000 for rent Ior for the hall at
ten cents a head, and an item o.
$40 for acting as general of a
parade" held by them.

EVENING NEWS WILL BE 2 CENTS A COPY AND
10 CENTS PER WEEK BEGINNING WEDNESDAY

Two cents copy or ten cents A
week will be the price of the EVEN
ING NEWS and the Perth Ambov
Chronicle on and after Wednasday
November 13. This increase has
been in contemplation for some ti,ne
owing TO the continual increase in
.he cost OF production of newspaper.
For the past five years the EVEN
ING NEWS has been giving its read
ers the benefit OF the lowest possible
price while the newspapers in New
Brunswick, Plainfield and other
neighboring cities, publishing the
same size paper and giving no more.
and, in some instances, not as much

lutely no profit in the circulation. the

however, that this is not the case.
The cost of living has nearly doubled.
Naturally the workingman has had
to receive more wages in order to ex-
ist. The wages paid the employees of
the EVENING NEWS have been in
creased nearly 100 per cent. during
the past five years.
But this is not the only jump. Every
thing in the printing line has gone up
so that today we are paying from 25 to
80 per cent. more for raw material with
which to work than we were five years
ago. The greatest increase in this
has been the cost of white
paper. Take yesterdays edition of the
EV VENING NEWS which was sold to
newsdealers and newsboys at one half
a cent a copy; the white paper alone,

the NEWS has arranged with tel

wire right up to the time of going
to press, thus making it unnecessary
for our readers TO buy New York even
ing newspapers to learn the happen
ings outside of this immediate vicinity.
In short, the NEWS is going to give a
full two cents worth IN every Darticu-

it is worth all it costs.

II stands to reason that no business can
continue long under SUCH conditions.
In an editorial on this verv s,hiect
the New York Herald this morning
said:
Bitter experience has proved to the
publishers that the one-cent newspap-
ers cannot make both ends meet. The
running expenses Of such publications
exceed their revenue from sales and
advertisements. This fact is admitted
by the publishers themselves. The OBJ
vious remedy would be to raise the
price of the newspaper This is the
course taken by other tradesmcn, who
usually demand from the purchaser of
the finished article a price that leaves
them margin of profit over the cost
of raw material and labor"
That the price of paper is not going
to be reduced very soon is evident from
the following from the same editorial
in the Herald this morning:
THE outlook is far from cncoura gin g
for the manufacturers themselves. Mr..
Chisholm. president of the Information
al Paper Company, recently called at
tention to the heavy increase in the
company's running expenses and re-
ported a diminution of $3l7.049 in net
earnings for 1907 as compared with
those of last year
In letter to a publisher in this
city few days ago the head of another
big paper company said: We are hay
ing terrible fight with the labor un-
ions. who demand further increase of
100000 per annum in our payroll We
simply cannot stand it.
From time to time. as the cost of
production has increased the EVENING
NEWS has raised the advertising rate
