HASTE TO BOARD BOAT
COST SAILORS LIFE
Charles Sanberg
Drowned at
Dry Docks.
BEEN ON SPREE

Captain Edward Nolan, of the
barge Hayerford, which was at the
Raritan Dry Docks last night, report
ed to the police at Las O'Clock this
morning that Charles Sanberg ,one
of his crew, had fallen overheard and
been drowned.
Patrolman Calvin was sent TO in
vestigate and learned that Sanberg
was a Swede, fifty years old, five
feet five inches in height, with sandy
hair and mustache and wore a dark
suit of clothes. His only relatives
in this country, the captain said,
were a sister and brother-tn-law liv-
ing in Brooklyn.
At 11.05 o'clock last night Patrol
man Quinlan was called to Ezra
Sweets hotel in New Brunswick ave
nue. where Sanberg was intoxicated
and creating disturbance. He
broke the glass in door during his
frivolity but as he agreed to return
and pay for the damage this morn
ing, Mr.. Sweet did not have him ar
rested.
The barge left the dry docks this
morning for South Amboy where it
Is being loaded at the docks OF the
Susquehanna Coal Company.
The Captains Story.
When the captain was seen by a
NEWS reporter this morning at
South Amboy he said that Sanberg
had been uptown In Perth Amboy
last evening and returned to the
barge at the dry docks about 100
o o'clock in an inebriated condition.
The captain heard him approaching
and called to Sanberg to wait until
he secured ladder which he might
let down for the sailor to climb
aboard. But Sanberg would not wait
for the ladder, said the captain, and
attempted to board the boat. In the
darkness he missed his footing and
fell into the water. He managed to
grasp the piling and Captain Nolan
asked him If he could hold on until
he got rope. Sanberg said he
could, but, when the captain return
ed with the rope, Sanberg had dis
appeared, according to Nolan's story.
The drowning was then reported to
the police.
The body has not yet been reeoy-
cred.

INJUNCTION GRANTED
IN BEEF GO. CASE

Another important factor in the
6uit between the Perth Amboy Beef
Company and the Grand Central Beef
Company was consumated yesterday
in Chancery Chambers at Newark.
Vice Chancellor Howell granted the
attorneys for the complainants an in
junction restraining Joseph Klein, a
brother-in-law of Harry Rein, who
claims he is president of the Grand
Central Beef Company, from trans
ferring, assigning or surrendering a
lease, which the complainants allege
was fraudulently obtained by Joseph
Klein and Harry Rein, with the In
tention of running the store at 300
State street to the detriment OF the
creditors of the Grand Central Beef
Company, which Is insolvent.
In granting the injunction yester-
day, Vice Chancellor Howell said
that the manner in which the lease
was obtained appears collusive and
the matter should be looked into by
the Court of ~Aancery. AS Lawyer
Thomas Brown, who represents the
defendants, cannot speak in the
chancery chambers, not being a
master in chancery, James S. Wight
appeared for him. Leo Goldberger
and John w. Beekman appeared for
the complainants.
Subpoenas have been issued and
will be served by the sheriff in few
days. A final hearing in March will
probably end the case, before the
vice chancellor

WANT ALL THE
BUSINESS MEN
TO Be PRESENT
Board of Trade Directors
Plan for Open Meeting to
be Held February 9.
WILL TRY TO IMPROVE
TELEGRAPH SERVICE
Want Money to Advertise the
City and Bring Industries
to This Vicinity.

directors meeting Of the Board
Of Trade was held last night when
plans were discussed for the open
meeting to be held in the auditorium
at the public library. February is
the date for the event and an effort
will be made to have as many of the
business men, factory managers and
citizens present as possible. Some
good, out-of-town speaker will be Sc
cured to make an address on Board
of Trade work and civic improve
ment and advancement The Board
of Trade desires every man in the
city to reserve the date, February 8,
and be present on this occasion.
The matter of telegraph service
was discussed and a committee Will
see what can be done toward i'm
proving the conditions. 1t Is held
that in a manufacturing city of 30,-
600 population there should be bet
ter facilities than at present when
the telegraph Office is closed at 8
O'Clock at night and all day Sunday,
with the exception of one hour. The
service is so unsatisfactory to many
of the local industries that some In
stalled a private wire direct into
their plants. The Board of Trade
feels that the telegraph company
would make decided improvements
If the proper pressure were brought
to bear.
Ways and means were discussed
to secure money for advancing the
interests of the city in advertising
and bringing industries here. The
experiences OF other cities were dis
cussed and It was thought that the
Board of Aldermen might make an
appropriation for this work similar
TO what is done in New Brunswick
with such good results.

DECLARE REPUBLIC
WAS UNDER SPEED
Crew Of Florida
Shift Blame
To Others.
GIVEN OVATION

New York, Jan. Responsibility
for the collision between the Republic
and the Florida was placed today upon
the White Star line vessel by the
American agents of the Lloyd Italiano
line.
1t is charged that the Republic was
running at high speed, while the Flor
ida was travelling at moderate speed"
1t is denied that there was any misun-
derstanding Of orders or wrong steer
ing and that there Is any ground for
criticism either of officers or crew of
the Florida.
After an investigation at which Cap
tain Ruspini and most Of the other Of
ficers of the Florida were examined
this statement was issued by G. B.
Richard & Co.. agents for the Florida
when the Republic became visible
In the fog she was crossing the bow
OF the Florida from starboard 30 port
and running at a high rate of speed.
"The helm OF the Florida was
promptly put to starboard, hoping to
swing the bow of the Italian steamer
to starboard and to assist in avoiding
the danger Of collision. The other
steamer was, however, running so fast
that the vessels colIided.
'sThe officers of the Florida are in nc
way to blame for the collision. On the
bridge at the time were Captain Ru-
spini, First Officer Rafaello Garguile
and a quartermester.
They were proceeding cautiously ir
their course, sounding the fog sigma
frequently. They first heard the Re
public's fog whistle at distance oi
probably a mile and a half to ths
northwest. They held their course. NJ
signal was given them by the Repub
lie indicating that they should go Il
starboard or port.
The sound Of the Republics whis
tie became palmer. Captain Ruspin
reduced the speed Of his boat to hv,
miles an hour. Suddenly the Republic
which had turned to the southeas
from the course she held when he
fog signals were first heard, loomet
up right In 1ront OF lne rioriua. IN
collision was unavoidable.
If the admiralty court holds that tn,
officers of the Florida were at faul
when the italian steamship rammet
the Republic the owners of the Florids
will be liable to the extent of 5000,
300. This is the value Of the Florida
her passenger fares and cargo charges
The Lloyd Italiano, or the societa d!
Navigazione, as the company which
owns the Florida is variously known
purchased the Florida three years age
for 100000. The value of the fares
and cargo carrying charges amounted
to $4,000. Although. the Republic and
what went down with her was worth
s., ,So0,0 the owners Of the Florida
cannot be held responsible beyond the
value of the Florida.

WAS THIS A CASE OF
DOUBLE EL0PEMENT?

Two young couples, we'll dressed,
who looked as though they might
have come here to get married, stood
at Smith and State streets shortly
after Z o'clock this morning. A few
minutes later they jumped into a
coach that came up New Brunswick
avenue and were driven up State
street.
An effort was made to learn II
they reached a minister and why the
coach was decorated with white RIB
bons, but without success.
