DRYDEN Is At
TRENTON TO-DAY
Lively Scenes There Last Night
Democrat Caucus and Sen
atOr's Open House..
special to the RYENINa VIEWS !:

TRENTON, Jan. S:-While the
democrats were meeting in caucus at
the state capitol last night, United
States Senator John F. Dryden was
holding forth in famous room No.
100 at the Trenton House, endeavor-
ing to make more certain his grasp
on the candidacy for another term al;
Washington. There was no old-tlme
rally, such as used to be eel in the
days of General Sewell. 1t was more
of a heart-to-heart talk with republic
can leaders.
Senator Dryden met several promi-
nent republicans, and then had a half
hours conference with Governor
Stokes. AT the close ne expressed
himself as confident that he would
succeed himself for another term.
Senator Dryden came to Trenton
from Washington last night in a pfi-
vate car. He was accompanied by
Colonel "A. r. Kuser, his son-in7law
and political adviser. The senator
dined with a small party, including
Governor Stokes, General G. Edward
Murray, Theodore Strong, Colonel
Richard Reading, and a few others
The conference followed. During its
progress several of the senator's
friends called to see him.
When the conference broke up,
Senator Dryden said he was confident
of reelection, in spite of the opposi-
ton of the Colby faction. He was
asked what he thought of the action
of the four Union county members
In making a statement that Senator
Dryden should retire as a candidate.
He seemed to treat the action very
lightly. He said: Il do not think
that means much. You notice 1t
was worded very carefully and there
was no positive declaration that they
would bolt the caucus If l were the
candidate"
The senator claimed there would
not be detection enough from the
republican ranks to accomplish his
defeat. No other name was meI-
toned last night in connection with
the United States senatorship. Ia
The city is filled with Legislators
and visitors today awaiting the open
ing hour of the legislature. There is
much discussion as to what the gov
ernor's message will contain.

CAUGHT UNDER ENGINE.
New York Conductor Lost Both
Legs in Driving Wheel.

NEW YORK. Jan. S.-For o hours
Charles Fisher, Il freight conductor on
the New York; New Haven and Hart
ford railroad. lay pinned under an en-
CINE in the local yards. One OF his
legs was amputated. but this failed
to effect his release. His other leg was
held fast. and he was not taken out
until a wrecking crew had jacked the
big engine off the rails.
Fisher, who is forty-one years of age,
attempted to swing on TO the side step
of a switch engine. but missed his
footing and jammed his leg between
two fianges of a drive wheel. The
wheel revolved, catching Fisher just as
the engine was brought to a stop.
An ambulance surgeon crawled un
der the locomotive and there amputat-
ed Fishers left leg. This, however,
did not release the man, whose other
leg was still held. Finally the engine
was jacked up and Fisher removed to
a hospital, where his right leg was
amputated. In spite of his experience
it is believed that the patient will re-
cover.

WOULD GUST MCCLELLAN
Attorney General Has Entered Suit
Against New York Mayor.

NEW EGU1S, Jan. S.-Attorney Gen
eral Jackson on behalf of the people of
the state of New York has entered suit
in the supreme court against George
b. Mcclellan, praying that the latter
be ousted from the office of mayor OF
the city of New York on the ground
that he has usurped and unlawfully
holds such office, whereas William Ran
dolph Hearst is legally entitled to the
same.
1t is stated that this new proceeding
has nothing to do with the quo war
ranto action which last week was tenn
porarily enjoined at the suit of Mayor
Mcclellan.
A and a copy of the COM
plant in the action were served upon
Mayor Mcclellan at the city hall.
The action being brought in the name
of the people takes precedence over all
others.
The complaint declares fatty that at
the election in November. 1908, Mr..
Hearst was duly and legally elected
mayor of New York" 1t is further al
legged that ballots legally marked Tor
Hearst were counted for Mcclellan by
the inspectors of election and that these
'.miscounts'' formed the basis OF the
returns Of the vote.
1t is claimed that men not entitled TO
vote were allowed to vote for McClel-
Ian and that in many other ways the
election laws We're violated at the 100
election. Votes cast for Hearst, it is
declared, were not counted in a mum
Der of districts.
Notwithstanding the election OF sald
Hearst" the complaint concludes
George b. Mcclellan has usurped ana
intruied into and now unlawfuliy
usurps and holds the office of mayor.

you, and therefore he decided to with
hold his resignation until these could
be disposed of.
1t can be said that Mr.. Cortelyou
never has had any intention OF retain
ing the craftsmanship longer than alb
solutely was necessary to conclude the
work which the president and he had
in mind.
The senate committee on finance will
today consider the nomination Of
George b.. Cortelyeu to be secretary of
the treasury. Nearly a mouth ago,
when the nomination was under dis
cussion in the committee, Democratic
members gave notice that they would
oppose the confirmation SO long as he
continued as chairman Of the Repub-
lican national committee. His resigna-
ton removes this objection, and no OPP
position to Il favorable report is antici-
pated. The nominations of James X.
Garfield to be secretary of the interior
was also before the finance committee.
Several Democratic senators plan to
make speeches on the subject of Mr..
Cortclyou's activity In collecting funds
for the last presidential campaign
when the nomination is called up in ex-
ccutiVe session

MUCH CRAFT
IN PITTSBURG
Big Sensation at Councilman
Martins Trial Fooled Him
With Fake EnVeIOpe.

PlTTSBURG, Jan. B. Sensational
testimony was given here in the $780,
600 graft scandal In connection with
the ordinance to give the Pittsburg and
Tube City Railroad company an en-
trance into Pittsburg when William A,
Martin, Il member of the common coun-
Gil, was put on trial in criminal court
charged with soliciting "a bride for the
passage of the ordinance.
Among the witnesses were ]. II. Mil
holland, a civil engineer for the rail-
road company; G. d. Richardson, a bro
ker, II G. 5. Cameron, president of
the Pittsburg and Tube City Railroad
company, who are also Implicated in
the graft scandal"
Milholland testified that he had plac-
ed a 100000 certified check In IL safe
deposit box which was to have been
given to Martin and was told by Presi-
dent G. s. Cameron in Martins pres
ence that the alleged bribe money was
increased from $4,000 to $4,000 in Or
der to get sufficient votes to pass the
Tube City ordinance over the mayors
veto.
Milholland also testified that $4,000
in cash was subsequently placed in
safety deposit boxes at the Colonial
Trust company and then at the Union
Trust company for Martin. Milholland
held the key to n box, and the key to
the later box was deposited in another
safety deposit box at the Farmers De
post National bank.
He also swore that Martin ordered
him to deliver the keys of a safe de-
poslt box back to Cameron, remarking
as he did SO that "he had been trim
med again, for the money was not
there
G. X. Richardson, the broker, told of
the mysterious disappearance of the
$4,000 which he had loaned President
Cameron and of Councilman Martins
refusal to be searched for the money
when it disappeared and which was
subsequently found by a local detective
agency, which received $4,000 for it's
recovery.
According to Richardson, the scheme
of fooling Martin was worked in his
very presence by means of two envel-
opes, IL containing the money and
the other. identically similar on the
outside, which did not contain the
money.

Gatemen at Crossings All Night.
"a most serious menace to the life
and limb of our citizens exists be-
cause of the meagre perfection given
by the railroad companies at the diff
ferent railroad crossings within the
city limits. A recent and most terri
BILE accident at our most prominent
crossing emphasizes this point. or
course, the very best method for re-
lief would be the a%bolishing of all
grade crossings, but much a be
done toward giving better protection
to the crossings now existing. In the
first place, the New York & Long
Branch Railroad is violating the law
by rushing their trains through Perth
Amboy at such terrific speed as fifty
miles an hour. Again, the gate
tenders are only on duty until s
o'clock p. M, and after that time
there is absolutely no provision made
by this railroad to safeguard its
crossings. All of the railroads should
be compelled to operate their gates
through the entire t~wenty-four hours,
and in addition place warning bells
at the different crossings which will
ring automatically at the approach of
trains. This matter is most import
ant and should receive your early and
earnest attention.
Recreation Pier.
81 would also ask you to consider
the erection of a recreation pier at
the foot of one of our streets, so that
in the heated term our citizens may
be able to get some benefit from our
splendid water front.
Compensation for Ferry.
II would urge too, that care be
taken not to dispose of any other
water front which the city still owns
without ample return, for our shore
front is one of the city's most valu-
able assets. There is pending the
granting of a franchise for another
ferry from Perth Amboy to Totem
Vile. and | trust that neither this nor
any other public franchise be granted
without securing the city just COM
~pensation for the same. 1t must be
remembered that our city is under
going a wonderful growth and expan-
sion, and as the years go by, public
franchises will become more and
more valuable, hence the city should
