man Heard Shot.

Alec Bolinsky, saIoonkeeper az
2e9 Smith street, while on his way
home to 13 Stamford street, early
this morning. was held up by three
men In Stamford street and robbed
of $40. He shot at them as they
were running away, but did not hit
them. Patrolman Tonneson noticed
the men running away and heard the
shot and thought 1t was only a brawl
OF some sort. Bolinsky was l1urrying
along the street when the three men
jumped out at him. Two of them
held him while the third went
through his clothes. AS soon as they
had secured the money, they started
to run away. Although Bolinsky
pulled his revolver and fired at them
1t was SO dark he could not hit any
of them
Chief Burke is investigating the
matter himself and he says he has
an idea as to whom the robbers are.
The police have found two masks
near where the saloonkeeper. was
held up. One of the masks is white
and the other is black On the back
of the black mask was some writing
which the police are trying to make
out. Caught in the edge of the mask
were several hairs.

TRENTON, Mar. 2S:-There is
every prospect that the. legislature
will get through with It's work and
adjourn sine die not later than April
10 as the result of conference that
was held at the state house yester-
day between Governor Fort, State
Treasurer Daniel S. Voorhees,. State
Assessor David Baird, Quartermaster
General G. Edward Murray and other
republican state leaders.
1t is difficult to learn what took
place at the conference, but 1t is un-
derstood that the governor was in
sistent that the legislature should
pass the excise legislation recon-
mended by him in his inaugural ad-
dress. Messrs. Voorhees, and Baird
are both opposed to this proposed
legislation.
The governor and his conferees
also discussed the public utilities,
civil service and other important mat
ters before the legislature, but no
agreement was reached as to the
policy to be pursued The house and
senate are strongly divided as to the
character of public utility law. The
house has passed a law creating
commission with ratemaking power,
subject, however, to court review.
This Is In accordance with the COVER
nor's views. The senate is opposed
to comforting any rate-making power,
and In this they are supported by
voorhees,, Baird and other machine
leaders.

ACT AGAINST
WATER DEPT.
Sewer at Runyon Is Alleged 10
Cause Pollution Of Stream
fmptying Into South River
INJUNCTION IS THREATENED

An injunction may shortly be serv-
ed on the local Water Board, compel
ling them to show cause why a pri-
vate sewer and pipe line at Runyon,
which runs from the houses of the
employees to Ricketts, Brook and
thence empties into the South river,
should not be done away with.
A few weeks ago, City Attorney
Hommann received notice from the
State Sewerage Commission that the
people along the South river were
complaining about the private sewer
and pipe line, and that something
would have to be done. Mr.. HON.
mann went to see the sewerage COM
missioners and since then he has
heard nothing about the matter.
The sewer and pipe line, which
was built some item ago, takes the
refuge from the homes of the water
employees at Runyon. 1t
is connected to the houses right back
of the pond and extends as far as
the Pennsylvania railroad, and then
empties into Ricketts, Brook, which,
in turn, runs into the South river.

President Bradley told OF the
crowded conditions of this schools,
and how they had to fight to get the
central grammar school, which is to
be built at Barracks and New streets.
He said they would like to build a
school at Kennedale park, but he did
not see how they could do 1t at pres
ent.
The need of central grammar
school, said Mr.. Bradley. is more than
that of a school in any one section Of
the city, for, when the school term
opens in September, the board
will have to find room for pupils in
all Of the schools. He said that they
realized the need of school in the
Kennadale park section. and would
try to AFFORD some relief to the resi-
schools which the city owns, out
grammar school Is built.
Commissioner Seaman's idea was
almost the same. but he thought the
delegation from Kennadale park, and
the Board of Education should go be-
fore the city council and ask them to
put the roads in first class order, so
that the, children would not have to
trample through mud. To do this
said Mr.. Seaman, would cost less than
to build a new school, thing which
the board could not afford Just at
present.
Mr.. Momberg thought the sugges-
tion OF placing the portable schools in
the Kennedale park section was a
good idea.

TRIUMPH OF
The CHORAL
Musical Event Held in Majestic
Theatre Last Might Under Di-
rection of Miss Harrington
NINE. MULFoRD WAS THE STAR

The Perth Amboy Choral Society
CLOSED its second season with its sec
ond concert this year in the Majestic
theatre last night. A large audience
was present and all were enthusiastic
in their praise of both the chorus,
which showed excellent training, and
the quartet. Miss Augusta NJ. Far
rington, the director, filled her diff
cult role in her usual pleasing man
ner. Her popularity with the audi
ence and chorus are manifested every
time she appeared. Without a doubt
much of the success of the evening
was due to the accompanies, Mrs.
Samuel ]. Mason and Mrs. Seth Lock-
wood, of Woodbridge.
The quartet was composed of Miss
Jennie Moore. soprano; Nine. Flor
ence Mulford, contralto; Cecil James,
tenor, and George H. Downing, bari
tone. 1t was evident Nine. Mulford
was the favorite of the evening Her
duett with Miss Moore caught the
audience and filed them with antici-
patton for the solo 'Cavatina" which
Nine. Mulford sang later In the pro-
gram. The expectations were fully
realized and round after round of
applause forced the star to bow her
Acknowledgement several times.
Nine. Mulford is one of the leading
contralto singers in the country. She
has appeared many times In grand
opera in the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York City. 1t was
rare treat to hear her in this city
last night.
Miss Moore was well received, as
ch ho
sung here.
Both the tenor and baritone were
of the highest order, but popular
opinion seemed to favor Mr.. Down
ing, who possesses a voice full of
volume and a richness that was de-
lightful to hear.
The selection given was Rossini's
"Stebat Mater" 1t opened with the
chorus and quartet Mr.. James sang
solo and the duet by Miss Moore
and Nine Mulford followed. Mr..
Downing took the next part alone
and afterward sang with the chorus.
After the quartet came Nine. Null
the chorus. The quartet was next
and the finale was given by the quar-
tet and chorus.
ne program opened WIN JONAH
nes Gelbke's Ave Maria" sung by
Mr.. Downing and the women's
chorus. A tenor solo, Sorrows of
Death Hymn of Praise),, by Men
delssohn, was sung by Mr.. James.
During the evening flowers were
passed over the footlights, Miss Far
rington receiving several bouquets.
Others who received flowers were
Miss Moore, Mrs. Mason and Mrs.
Lockwood.
The choral society has met with
much success under the leadership of
Miss harrington. 1t has shown much
progress and the season which ended
last night closes with greater tri-
umph than ever.
