MAYOR WANTS
STREETS CLEAR
Writes to Boss Builders
Urging Cooperation in
Enforcing Ordinance.
HAvESEvERAL COMPLAINTS

During the past year some of the
local builders have not been very
careful about clearing away debris in
streets, caused by the erection of
new buildings. Piles of brick and
lumber are frequently left over night
without any danger lights and num-
erous complaints have been made to
the police.
Many of the complaints were made
to Mayor Bo1lschweiler, who has tax
en- up the matter and will try to have
the law obeyed. Builders are allow
ed, when given a permit by the street
commissioner, to place material on
the street, but in many cases it is
left there a long time after the COM
pletion of the structure
The mayor has written the follow
ing letter to the Building Trades AS
sociation asking for their coopera-
ton:
''The Building Trades Association.
Perth Amboy, n. ].
Gentlemen:
Many complaints have been lodg-
ed with me during the past year
against the unwarranted use of the
streets of the City by builders who
spread their material over too much
public territory and suffer them to
thus remain a much longer time than
is necessary, and in many cases with
out any permission whatever from the
street commissioner.
Last year l asked the co-opera-
tion of your organization along the
line of carrying on building enter
prises in a neat and orderly manner
and wish to thank you for whatever
effort you may have made along that
line. Indications are, however, that
a majority of the builders prefer to
carry on their work in manner mos
convenient to themselves regardless
of the convenience of the genera
public. So great has become the an
noyance that l find l must institute
measures to carry out the provisions
of the ordinances of the city bearing
on such matters, particularly section
six of chapter 141 which reads:
That 1t shall not be lawful
for any person to leave wood,
| timber, coal or other obstruc-
| uons In any street or any side
walk longer than twenty-four
hours, under a penalty of $l.00
! per day for and every day such
obstruction may remain after
said twenty-four hours, except
for building purposes when a
permit in writing stating the
time allowed shall be procured
from the street commissioner
81 trust you will rfse your influence
with your members to assist me In
this matter and make the execution
of the law as light and as pleasant as
possible.
Yours sincerely,
"A. BOLLSCHWEILER,
| Mayor. "

FOUR STRIKERS SHOT DURING A FIERCE RIOT;
TROOPS SENT TO THIS CITY BY GOV. FORT
WOMAN INVALID HELPLESS AS
FLAMES FATALLY BURN HER

DR.. j. G. Wilson attended the two
men at the hospital shortly after
their arrival and on examination
found that John Safia had been shot
with a 32-calibre revolver. The bull
let entered the right chest, went al
most straight through and lodged in
the spine, where It was found by the
physician. Safia, the doctor says, Is
very weak, which leads him to be-
lieve that the bullet passed through
his lungs.
DR.. Wilson says that Safia is In a
fairly bad condition, and if the bull
let did pass through the injured
mans right lung his recovery is
doubtful.
The Fords' man was shot through
the hips, the bullet passing through
one thigh and lodging somewhere In
the other. where 1t still rests. DR..
Wilson says that as the man is very
weak from the shock he has decided
not to remove the bullet as yet. The
exact location of the bullet is not
known, although an effort was made
to find it with probe.
Few of the strikers IL any have re-
volvers as clubs, pieces of pipe and
stones seem to be their only weapons.
l. B. Esberg, of Keasbey, says that he
does not think any of the men have
guns.
City Marshal Walters who Is one
, of the men on guard at the Standard
plant, where the trouble occurred
this morning, sent to this city later
for his powerboat. The boat with a
crew was sent to the plant shortly
before IL o'clock, as should the strik-
ers surround the plant and pen In
the deputies on duty, they would be
able to get supplies by the aid of the
| launch, as the plant extends to the
river.
Trouble Yesterday.
About 500 men stayed near the
three plants of the National Fire
proofing Company yesterday, but on
account of the dense fog the watchers
could get a glimpse of the mob only
at times. The strikers would go
from one factory to another but re-
mained most of the time near the
Perth Amboy plant
About a dozen men were working
at the latter plant yesterday and at
o'clock in the afternoon Chief Burke,
with Patrolmen Chris Hanson, An
drew Jensen, and John Wood, started
to escort them to the trolley on Smith
street, as it had been decided to shut
down the plant.
When the men with their body
guard left the plant, followed by
Mayor Bollschweiler and Alderman
B. M. Cannon in a carriage, none of
the strikers were in sight. The little
party, however, had gone but a short
distance when out of the fog a mob
of nearly 500 men appeared, closing
In around them.
Missiles Began TO Fly.
The strikers were armed with
pieces of pipe, sticks, stones and 9TH
er weapons and In an instant the
missiles began to fly. A stone hit
Chief Burke in the back and several
of the employees Of the plant were
struck. The mayor and Alderman
Cannon jumped from their carriage
and the employees, who were being
escorted to the trolley, became ter
rified and. breaking ranks, fed in all
directions.
One of the frightened men jumped
in the mayors carriage In his terror.

GUILTY OF
Sherman Smith, Prominent Minneapo.
lis Politician Found Guilty.

st. Paul, Jan. Fisherman 8. Smith
of Minneapolis was found guilty of
contempt of court by Judge Page
Morris in the United States district
court, and he was sentenced to serve
ninety days in the Ramsey county
jail. A stay of execution for thirty
days was granted to permit Mr.. Smiths
attorney to take steps to have the
judgment reviewed by the United
States supreme court.
Mr.. Smith has been a prominent
Republican politician. He has served
in the legislature and during the late
session he was the speakers clerk.
Since this charge was brought against
him he was elected vice president Of
a Minneapolis ward club.
The contempt charge grows out Of
the case against alleged officers of the
Wisconsin Grain and Stock company,
who were charged with using the
mails to deeraud.

WITH CUPID AS CHAUFFEUR.

The road lies white beneath the light
OF a rising honeymoon,
And the rushing sound as the wheels
spin round
Swings into an old love-tune.
And every rut on the road of life
Is seen through a rosy blur:
But there's never q fear that the ways
not clear
With Cupid as chauffeur.
And little the care II the neighbors stare
AS they speed through the land Of
dreams,
While the old love-light as a signal bright
Ahead on the highway CLEANS.
And there's never a hill of care so steep
But succumbs to the gentle stir
That is bound to start in a lovers heart
With Cupid as chauffeur.
So speed they may on their primrose way
To Arcadian lands afar.
May they travel fast till they step at
last
In their wedding touring-car.
And grant them this, oh, lad who feels
A love that is strong for her,
May the ride extend to the journeys end,
With Cupid as chauffeur.

PUT DYNAMITE
UNDER THE House
ANOTHER OUTRAGE ONTHE IRON
RANGE FAILS BECAUSE FUSE
GOES OUT.
Eighteen Persons in the House. None
Would Have Escaped if House of
the Mine Boss had Blown up as
Intended.

Hibbing, Mimi, Jan. 27.-The fuse
went out before the dynamite that
had been placed beneath the house
was exploded, and that was what
saved the lives of eighteen people re-
siding in Matt Kronic's boarding
house. a mile west of here Thursday
night.
Fourlarge sticks Of the explosive
wrapped in a piece of underwear had
been placed directly under the house
and the fuse was lighted, but went
out when only about three inches of
it remained.
There was enough dynamite to re-
duce the boarding house to kindling
wood and nobody in reason could have
been expected to escape alive.
The news of this latest dynamite
outrage on the range became public
today when Nick Brickerch was ar.
rested. Suspicion rested on him be-
cause the piece of underwear is SINH
lar to some of his. The prisoner was
formerly employed by Kronic, who
is a mine boss as well as a boarding
house keeper.
Kronic says that Friday morning
he found the banking about the house
torn up and a space under the house
large enough for a man to get
through. Upon investigation he
found a fuse partly burned leading to
a bag in which there were four sticks
of dynamite and beside it were I'M
burned matches.
Kronic suspects Brickerch. For
some time prior to last October Brick
hhad been employed under Kronic
but had been discharged. Since then
Kronic says he has been having trouble
with him.
A few days prior to the outrage
Brickerch had a suit of underwear
Identical with that wrapped about the
dynamite washed at the Kronic house,
according to Kronic.
Practically all the homes of super
intendents and mining captains are
now to be guarded. The detectives
say there was a general conspiracy
among the anarchists and is one OF
far-reaching proportions.
