State supervision Of all bridges erect
ed is proposed by State Engineer Fred
erick Skene of New York. That gen
tleman has drawn up a proposed law
covering the matter. He would require
his approval, as we'll as the approval
of the county engineer. of the plans
and specifications of every bridge eN-
ceeding $500 in cost to be built by Il
town. He also recommends that con
tracts for such bridges he required to
be awarded to the lowest bidder, after
the work has been properly advertised,
and, finally, that the approval of the
State engineer be required before pay
ment for a completed bridge is made
There is law in that State providing
that the assistance OF the State engi-
neer may be invoked to superintend
such constructions, but it has been ig-
uored by the counties and towns. and
contracts have been irregularly award
ed, with the result that there are many
inferior structures. Such law rs
that proposed would be the means of
correcting the evils of the existing sys-

SAID TO HAVE A RECORD
Setale Will Be Brought TO Mid

Joseph Danny, formerly of this
city, now of 290 South Colony street,
Wallingford, Conn, one of the three
men stabbed in Samuel Girry's sa-
loon, 62 Cortlandt street, September
80 last, was in court this morning, as
he had been notified that the police
had found the whereabouts of Frank
Setale, who is accused of the crime.
Setale is now locked up at Trenton
but, on what charge, the local police
do not know. Chief Burke received
word from the chief of police of the
capital this morning that the local
police could have Setale as soon as
the Trenton police were through
with him.
Danny told Chief Burke this
morning that Setale once made a re-
mark that he had escaped from a
place called Lorain, either in New
had killed a man; also that he had
left other places after he had stabbed
men at different times.
Danny and two others were
stabbed SO badly that they were
taken to the city hospital. -Setale
got away before the police could cap
ture him.
Chief Burke told Danny that he
was not needed just yet, and asked
him If he would be willing to come
here again when he was needed.
Danny said he would, and the chief
told him his expenses would be paid.
The chief will now get into commun-
ication with the chief of the Trenton
police and find out how soon they
can bring Setale to this county.

TO USE FIRE
ALARM FOR A
SCHOOL SIGNAL

After a conference with Chief
Mullen, of the fire department, and
the fire committee of the Board of
Aldermen, William P. Bradley, presi-
dent Of the Board of Education, has
made arrangements to have the fire
alarm sound certain signal on
stormy days whenever there is to be
no session of school, so that the
teachers and pupils may be spared
walking to the buildings.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter, Mr.. Bradley said that in other
cities of the size of Perth Amboy, the
fire alarm signal is used on stormy
days to tell the teachers and pupils
that no session would be held.
The matter was suggested to Chief
Mullen last night by Mr.. Bradley,
and the chief seemed to think that
the suggestion was good one. Mr..
Bradley then took the idea up with
the fire committee and they were
satisfied that it be adopted.
On all stormy days from now on
the signal will be sounded. The
signal decided upon by the chief and
Mr.. Bradley is 3-1-3. A fire alarm
box key may be turned over to Super
intendent Shull of the public schools
for this purpose.

SEAL FATE
OF BOSSES
Governor Approves Bill for EIec.
ton Of Delegates to National
Conventions.
STATE Committeeman
II Passed Governor Fort Would Be
Likely TO Become Candidate for
United States Senator.

TRENTON, Jan. 25:-At the ses-
sion of the legislature next Monday
night there will be introduced by
Assemblyman Henry G. Whitehead,
of Passaic county, bill for the cleo
tion of delegates to the republican
and democratic national convention
at open primaries, to be held the first
Tuesday In May, instead of at state
conventions, as heretofore, and unless
all signs fail this bill will provoke one
of the bitterest political fights in the
history of the state.
1t will be fought tooth and nail by
the bosses Of both parties, for It Is
recognized that If 1t is made a law it
will in measure mark their end and
foil certain state 'bosses" in their
ambition to share in the deliberations
of the national conventions.
The bill which Assemblyman
Whitehead is to introduce has been
fostered by Assemblyman William
Martin, of Essex, leader of the House.
and is said to have the Endorsement
of Governor Fort. AS each of the ten
congress districts in the state will
have two delegates and the state four
at large, or twenty-four in all for
each party, the bill, If passed, might
result In sending a mixed delegation
to each convention. Unless the
boss" in each district managed to
carry his primaries he would have to
voice in the national convention.
The news that the bill is in the
hands of Mr.. Martin became known
In Jersey City yesterday, where, it is
said, the measure was prepared by a
certain influential republican who is
known to enjoy the confidence of Gov
ernor Fort. Mr.. Martin, it is said,
has been in consultation with repub-
licans from all sections of the state
and has received assurances of sup
port.
Under the plan now in operation
primaries are held in May every four
years, at which delegates to a state
convention are elected. The state
convention elects four delegates at
large and -the delegates from each
congress district select its two repre-
sentatives to the national convention.
At the same time the state conven-
tion elects the members of the state
committee for the next four years.
In Assemblyman Whitehead's bill
provision is also made for the cleo
tion of the members of the state COM
mittee at the same primaries, and in
the same manner In which 1t is pro-
posed to elect the delegates to the
national convention. SO that the en-
tire system of each party will be revo-
lutionized. The bosses will be lined
up squarely against the people, and
If it Is desired to turn down the dele
gates desired by the party boss it will
be within the power of the voters to
do so.

FIRE
SIGNAL HERE
FOR 1925

The Gamewell fire alarm company
has notified the chief of the fire de-
partment, Eugene Mullen, that they
are willing to install signal box in
the new police station for 1925. The
alarm system In this city.
The apparatus for police head
quarters includes a dial, bearing the
lumbers of the various boxes, and a
pointer, when turned toward any
number, will cause the sounding of
the alarm from that box. This sys-
tenn is fixed in such way that, when
an alarm Is turned In from a street
box, 1t will not effect the box at police
headquarters, or vice versa.
Chief Mullen is going to urge the
installing of this system. Many peo-
pie call up the police now, and notify
them of fire, and the sergeant has to
call up central" and the latter noti-
fes someone else, and, in nearly all
cases, the alarm is turned in from
the wrong boz, thus causing great
delay.
With the system at police head
quarters, said the chief, the only
thing necessary, after the telephone
message had been received would be
for the sergeant to go to the signal
box and turn the rod around to the
number wanted, and the alarm would
be sounded.
The Gamewell people also offer to
supply the city with key boxes, such
as now used, for stated amount
each.

fire DEPT. is
TALKED OVER
Buffalo System Idea Likely to Be
Abandoned, But New Company in
North Amboy is Probable.
CHEMICAL APPARATUS FAVORED

It Is now almost certain that new
fire company will be organized in
North Amboy, on Woodbridge road,
for, at a special committee session
of the aldermen last night, the mat
ter was thoroughly discussed. and the
men were told to have a written COM
munication, asking permission to or
ganize, at the next regular meeting
of the council
The aldermen threshed out the
needs Of the local department, and,
while they have not yet decided, 1t is
probable that the volunteer depart
ment will not be done away with and
the Buffalo" system installed, but
that the volunteer department will
be put into up-to-date condition In
every respect.
Chief Mullen, who acted as spokes-
man, told the aldermen of the de-
sire of the citizens in the Woodbridge
road. He spoke Of the necessity of
having fire company in North Am
boy and the long run now necessary
for the firemen when call of fire
is sounded from the upper section of
North Amboy and of the great de-
lay in getting to the place, especially
when the companies are obliged to
cross the railroad tracks on New
Brunswick avenue, where they are
frequently held up by passing trains.
Chief Mullen said that, If company
had been In existence on Woodbridge
road, at the time of the fire on Con-
very place some months ago, instead
of three houses being destroyed by
the blaze, only one room in one of
the houses would have been dam
aged.
The chief urged that the aldermen
allow the men to organize a new
company, and that they be given the
old hose carriage, formerly used by
Lincoln Engine Company, and that it

BOXES 0. K.
But The TAPS
WON'T SOUND

Because Of trouble with the fire
alarm system, it is now impossible to
send in an alarm of fire from any box
in the city. In case of fire, the only
alternative would be for the person
who discovered the blaze to go to the
alarm tower and pull the bell by the
rope.
Chief Mullen of the fire depart
ment was informed of the state of
affairs by NEWS reporter this after
noon. Together with the reporter, he
tried the box at New Brunswick ave-
nue. and New street. The box worked
all right but the alarm did not sound
A number of other boxes were the
same way.
In conversation with NEWS man
member of the Mcclellan said that
box "a and others were out of order,
because of burned out fuses.
At noon today the alarm did not
sound, but the indicator at the home
of Chief Mullen, rang about 1850
and again at IL o'clock, three taps
each time.
At the house of Protection Hook
& Ladder Company at IL o'clock,
only two taps were registered.

BRING ORDER
OUT OF CHAOS
Streets Being Cleared Of Snow and
Railroads and Tro|Ieys Are Run
ming on Better Schedules.
MUCH SUFFERING IN NEW YORK

With several inches of snow on the
ground and the thermometer in the
twenties, people have commenced to
realize that winter time is really
here. Snow stopped falling yester-
day shortly before noon, and the
work of opening things up on the
railroads and trolley lines was start
ed at once. The railroad people soon
had things in good shape and trains
were making fairly good time.
The Public Service Corporation
was not SO lucky. for no cars were
run between this city and Wood
bridge, or between here and New
Brunswick until late today. Last
night, on State street, the trolley
cars could run only as far as Centre
street, as the snow had clogged the
tracks, and been packed down by
wagons. On Smith street the cars
managed to get as far as Keasbey.
Early in the evening the trolley offic-
ials impressed all of the extra motor
men and conductors and other en-
ployes that they could find, into SER
vice. The men were armed with
shovels and picks, and some with
bags of salt, and they went over
every inch of the route Many en-
ployed In the local factories were
compelled to walk to work yesterday
and In some cases home again last
night and to work this morning.
A car jumped the track on State
street. Two cars left the rails on
upper Smith street. This morning
cars from New Brunswick ran only
as far in this direction as Piscat-
away.

Chief Favors Reel for Hose.
Alderman Cannon, wanted to know
why it was that a certain company
at one time refused this carriage. and
Chief Mullen said it was because the
members wanted a wagon. The al
derman wanted to know which was
the better for hose, a wagon or a
hose carriage, and Chief Mullen said
he thought carriage, as 1t had a
reel and the hose could be wound,
while If placed in wagon, 1t is liable
to break. The chief believes that this
is the cause of SO much rotten hose
in New York.
Nearly all Of the aldermen seemed
to favor chemical wagon for North
Amboy, If a company were organ
lied, and Alderman Cannon asked
Mr.. Mullen, what he thought of
chemicals.
Mullen in Favor of Chemicals.
The chief said he favors chemicals,
and that he always used them in pre-
ference to water, wherever possible.
Since he had been head of the depart
ment, he has managed to get out on
the first apparatus going to fires, and
has not allowed Water to be used un-
less the building was too far gone,
and, in his term, water has been
used on only three fires, the gas
house, houses on Convery place, and
the Dorsey ice house.
The chief argued for a new COM
pany because of the growth of North
Amboy. He favored new chemical
wagon, but said he had hesitated to
ask for it, and he asked for the old
hose cart, to get the company started,
as that would involve little expense.

JAPAN STOPS
EMIGRATION

Special by United Press Wire:
TOXIC, Jan. 25:-An imperial
order issued today prohibits all Jap
anese emigration to the Hawaiian
Islands excepting In case of relatives
of Japanese already residing there.
The order is being strongly opposed
by the steamship companies. The
representatives of all the big lines,
after being served with the order,
personally appealed to the foreign
office to at least modify 1t. They
were met with absolute refusal.
Stringent orders also have been
issued to all officials that the prohibi-
tion of emigration of laborers to
America and Canada must be rigidly
enforced.
