ON STEAMER
Two Germans Reported on
the @. A. Knudsen at A. s.
& R. Plant Today.
BOARDED IT AT TAMPICO
They Will Probably be Re-
turned There--A Are In
telIigent Fellows.

The steamer o. A. Knudsen came in
to port today with two German stow
aways aboard. Captain Amundsen, Of
the vessel, reported the matter to the
custom house authorities and to the
American Smelling & Refining Company
as soon as he docked at the latter 8
plant, about Z o'clock this morning.
They boarded the steamer at Tampico.
1t is believed that they are deserters
from some vessel at Tampico and board
ed the Knudsen as a means OF escape to
other lands. Fhey were discovered when
the vessel was few days out from
Tsmpico.
The stowaways are intelligent Ger
mans, but nevertheless are as closely
watched as though they were China
men or negroes. Captain Amundsen
engaged the services Of Constable
James f. O'Brien to watch them while
the boat is in port. The commander
will probably return them to Tampico
upon his return voyage
The Knudsen is in port with approx.
mately $500 tons of copper and lead
bullion for the A. S. & R. plant. 1t is
now being unloaded.

trolley through by that route for
some time to come.
1t is intended, however, to change
the location of the railroad station
in South Amboy 1t Is to be placed
further out toward the bridge where
the "Y'' turns off to connect with
the Amboy division. In doing this
the Pennsylvania railroad proposes
to open new street through their
property to this new location. 1t
was their suggested that the trolley
line pass along this new road, pass
ing close to the new railroad station
and on to the bridge. 1t was not
until 1t was found that the trolley
could be made a benefit to the rail-
road company, that the Pennsylvania
railroad would give an consideration
to the matter of crossing their
tracks. The railroad has finally con-
sented to allow the trolley to pass
without opposition provided 1t Will
use the new route. Mr.. Wilson ex-
planned that carrying on these nego-
tiations was the cause of the delay
which is now complained of.
The trolley company is willing to
use the route suggested by the Penn
sylvania railroad, but In order to do
SO, it must go before the South Am
boy council and have its franchise
changed, cutting out the "Hole-in-
the-Wall route. There are but few
new consents to be secured for the
new route as the line passes almost
entirely over private property
Mr.. Wilson said the question of
finance does not enter into the mat
ter at all, as the money is ready to
go on with the work, the delay here
tofore having been, as stated due to
the negotiations with the Public Ser
vice and the Pennsylvania railroad.
Mr.. Wilson furthermore declared
that the Public Service did not own
so much as spike of the Jersey
Centrals line, it being an entirely in
dependent trolley company.
AS the franchise across the bridge
is limited to twenty years, Mr.. VIII
son said the Jersey Central was an
xious to get the line in operation as
soon as possible. Two years have
already been lost. Now that the two
main distractions have been removed
the company means to get busy and
all 1t asks is a brief extension Of
time to begin operations.
The local business men were favor
ably impressed with the statement
made by the trolley representatives
and while no definite action can be
taken until the full Board of Trade
meets next Tuesday night, the di-
rectors are in favor of giving the
Jersey Central every assistance pos
sible, as 1t is the only chance appar-
emily, Of getting trolley across the
bridge for some time.

FIRST FIRE IN
WHITE Way
Kelly & MCAIinden's Store
Threatened by Small Blaze
in Rear Room.
DAMAGE VERY SLIGHT
Boy Employe Accidentally
TrOd on Match in Pipe
Cutting Department.
DAMAGE VERY SLIGHT

serious fire was narrowly avert
ed In the pipe cutting room at the
rear of Kelly & McAlinden's store In
Smith street at o'clock last night.
A boy employed by the firm had gone
to the room, which is underneath
the tin shop, to get something, when
he stepped on match. On the floor
was some oil, sawdust and other ma
terial, as there is a small engine in
the place to run the cutting machine.
The refuse blazed up instantly and
the terrified lad tried to put it out
with pail of water, but his action
only spread the blaze.
AS soon as Mr.. McAlinden saw the
smoke he ran to the rear and, think
ing the blaze a large one, called to a
boy customer in the store to send in
an alarm. The boy ran and sounded
box 35 at Smith and High streets.
In the meantime Joseph Kelly, was
coming into the back yard with an
automobile and, seeing the blaze,
ran into the place and with the help
of John Kelly, his brother, managed
to smother the flames.
1t was out before the f1remen ar
rived although they made excellent
time in reaching the store. The
alarm was turned in at exactly 8
o'clock and, after the usual three
taps had sounded, the box" began
to sound. At 8 o'clock each night
the men are at their houses to test
the horses into getting under the
harness promptly and for this reason
they were on the street before the
alarm had sounded "S5" once.
Collision just Averted.
Protection Hook & Ladder Com
pany and Lincoln Engine Company
had narrow escapes from running In
to trolley car in rounding the cor
ner. the car was at the switch and a
collision seemed inevitable, but the
driver managed to make the short
turn in safety. Lincoln Engine Com
followed the truck and had a like
experience.
Mr.. Kelly, when seen after the
fire, said that the damage amounted
to nothing.

HAD EXCITING
EXPERIENCE

1t was feared last night that John
o 'Brien, one-legged man, who peddles
shoe strings and collar buttons about
town and who lives at Dennis Dono-
van s hotel in Front street, had been
drowned. He is in the habit Of going
out in a row boat every evening for
exercise and went out at 6 clock last
night as usual When he did not re-
turn within a few hours his safety was
feared for and a party decided to search
for him.
At o'clock this morning the boats
out on the water in search of the man
had not found him and Mr.. Donovan
reported the matter to Patrolman Hart
mann. At 6 clock 0 'Brien arrived
home and said that he had spent the
night on the beach near Mt. Loretto, s.
i. He said that he drifted down the
bay last night with the strong tide and,
becoming confused in the darkness,
rowed for the Staten Island shore in
stead of this city. Not caring to ven
ture out again on the water without a
light on his beat, he waited until day
break and then started for this city.

ness to the accident as were a number
of people at Fred K. Martin Is garage
nearby. DR.. Salter, with his son Percy,
was slowly driving up New Brunswick
avenue towards jefferson street when
Mr. Rippen Is car, driven by Tony Mil
Ter, chauffeur, and with Mrs. Rip

At Hearing Before Directors Of Board
Of Trade Last Night Cause
Of Delay Was Explained.
AGREEMENTS NOW REACHED
Change Route in South AmbOy to
Reach New Station to be Built
There by Penna. Railroad.

Attorney General Edmund Wilson,
iounsel for the Jersey Central Trac-
lion Company, and General Manager
Brown. of that company, we're in
lhif city last night to explain to the
Hirl tors Of the Board Of Trade the
pos ION of the trolley company in
cor ection with the proposed line
Acr SIS the Raritan river to this city.
Aftsr general discussion the di-
fectors decided to recommend to the
Board of Trade that 1t, as a body,
hse Its influence to get the extension
Of time asked for by the Jersey Gem
tral for the building of the trestle
and laying It's tracks on a portion Of
the county bridge. 1t was decided
to call meeting of the Board OF
Trade for Tuesday night. At that
time the matter will be laid before
the entire membership for them to
act as they see fit.
Mr. Wilson said the company was
willing to put up a bond for $4,000
that work on the extension of the
line would be started within sixty
days. He explained that the long
delay had been caused by controver-
sizes with the Public Service Corpor-
Rtion and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. The franchise to use the
bridge. being an open one, the Pub
lie Service could apply at any time
for a board of arbitration to force
the Jersey Central to allow them
TO use the track. An effort was
made between the two corporations
to settle their differences without
resorting to the arbitration board.
Finally an agreement was reached
whereby the Jersey Central was al,
lowed the use Df the Public Service
lraeKs to enter this city after cross
Ing the bridge while the Public Fer.
vice were to Ne allowed TO run their
cars over the structure on the Jer-
sey Central tracks.
This agreement has been made and
Is ready to go into effect as soon as
the connecting link across the river
Is built.
But before the bridge could be
reached, there was the Pennsylvania
railroad to contend with. There was
every indication that this company
would not allow the trolley to go
either over or under It's tracks at
South Amboy without long, legal
battle. The Central Jerseys fran
chise in South Amboy calls for a
route through the Hole-in-the- Wall.
It is impossible, however, to get a
trolley through there yet and, as
there is reason to believe that the
Pennsylvania RAILROAD is going to
appeal the recent decision compelI-
ing the widening of the passage,
there Is little indication of getting a

AMBOY GETS
IN The SWIM
Citizens and Police Question
ed Strange Man at BijOu
Theatre Last Night.
LOOKED LIKE LEON LING
Finally Unidentified as Japan
ese Cook from TOttenviIle
and Was Released.
LOOKED LIKE LEON LING

A man sitting in the last row at
the Bijou theatre last night aroused
considerable attention as he seemed
to answer the description of
Leon Ling, the chinaman wanted on
a charge of numbering Elsie Sigel.
The man was well dressed and APP
peared to be aware of the fact that
he was watched. Manager Ernst of
the theatre said that the man had
never been In the place before and
Miss Bastinello, the cashier confirm
ed his statement. A copy of the
EVENING NEWS containing Leon
Ling's picture was secured and the
man in the back row seemed to cor
respond in every feature.
The news that there was a strange
Chinaman in the playhouse spread
rapidly and several sleuths with vi
sions of reward appeared on the
scene. Patrolman Dunham was call
ed and declared that the man cer-
tainly resembled the picture of Ling,
but he did not believe 1t was the
man. Patrolman Quinlan arrived
shortly afterward and, on learning
the cause of the excitement among
the small party around the doorway
asked the fQllew outside. On being
questioned he said that he belonged
in Tottenville and that several peop-
lie in the theatre who had known him
for several years could identify him.
The persons were found and, as they
said they knew the man, he was let
go.
Not Chinaman, After All.
1t was stated this morning that the
suspect was not a Chinaman at all,
but. s. Kodani. a Japanese cook em-
ployed at the Atlantic Terra Gotta
Works in Tottenville. 1t was said
at the plant this morning that Ko-
dani had been employed there for
several years.
The Jap was considerably worried
when the policeman took him outside
and, after he was freed did not re-
turn to see any more of the show
He said that since the first picture
of Ling was published he had been
stopped many times on account of
his close resemblance. Kodani is a
sporty dresser and looks more like a
Chinaman than a Jap.
More Trouble for Him.
A city official at Smith and High
streets later was talking about the
occurrence at the Bijou when Kodani
passed. The official, in fun, and not
knowing that the man was the one
who had been taken from the thea
tire, said There goes Ling now. .
The Jap turned quickly and said
twice, What you want, eh?' The
Official, still Joking, said, Il want you
to go to the police station and
pointed in the direction of city hall
Kodani, still angry on account Of his
previous experience, referred the of
fetal to place where the ice doesn't
form, and hurried down the street.
