MUCH SMOKE
LITTLE FIRE

A FIRE scare was the cause Of con-
siderable commotion In the vicinity Of
State and Jefferson streets about 8
o'clock last night, when smoke was dis
covered coming from the Office Of the
Singer Sewing Machine company and
Lehigh Valley railroad at 1922 State
street. Some youths saw the smoke is
suing from a chimney in the building
and smelled the odor Of burning rags.
They lost no time in informing the
neighborhood that there wa FIRE in
the building. There was FIRE, but it
was only in small stove in the rear
where P. p. Hochfeldt, local agent Of
the Singer concern, was burning some
wood and rags.
The cries of fire from the youths who
first saw the smoke pouring out Of the
rear chimney, attracted hundreds to the
scene, including two policemen.

SPRINGCHANGE
IN TIMETABLE
Better Service for South
AmbOy Is the Feature Of
the Central.
.AMBOY DIVISION POINTS

The spring schedules on the Penn
sylvania and Central railroads 60 in
to effect today. This will continue
until june 81. when the summer
change in the timetable will be made.
There are few changes in the
Pennsylvania trains affecting this
city The train which formerly start
ed from South Amboy at 7:10 In the
morning and went to Camden, now
starts from Jersey City and stops at
Perth Amboy at 1908 a. m. and
leaves the P. R. r, Crossing at South
Amboy at 7:16 a. M. This gives the
people of this city an early train
down on the Amboy division. Here
tofore 1t was necessary to wait until
1913 a. m.
At the State stree, station the
first train now arrives at 7:45 a. m.
instead of 7;1b q. M. as heretofore.
At night the only change is the
train that comes from Camden and
formerly went only as far as South
Amboy. 1t willnow go through to Jer-
sey City, leaving the P. r. R. Cross
ing at South Amboy at 6:10 D. m.
and arriving at Perth Amboy at 6: 19
p. m. The train that comes from
the shore and stopped here at GAO
p. m. no longer stops here. A Sum
day train has also been put on, start
ing from Jersey City and going to
Camden. This gives Sunday train
service both ways on the Amboy
division.
The feature Of the change in
schedule on the Central railroad is
the better train service given South
Amboy. Several trains that former
ly started from Perth Amboy going
to New York, now start from South
Amboy. An additional train has also
been put on, going both ways on
Sunday, greatly to the convenience
of both cities

Ewing May Blossom Out as
Marathon Magnate

The honors of a Marathon magnate,
as well as those which fall to base
oall magnate, are awaiting Cal Ewing
in the event that he cares to gather
them in. Ewing is considering the
sdvisability of matching Dorando or
Longboat against Con Connolly here at
some future date. He is in a posi-
tion to get into the game by simply
hitting the telegraph wire, but he has
so many baseball cares on his mind
that he is still undecided as to taking
up the new craze.
Ewing has been offered the privilege
of pulling off a match here and using
Dorando ana Longboat as the stars
against Connolly or any other runner
he wishes to put in. He thought the
matter over and discovered that If he
chose he could also put on Marathon
contests in Sacramento. Los Angeles
and other cities in the near future
II have not made UP my mind as yet"
says Ewing, out 1t Is barely possible
that ] may take a flyer at the new
venture. An eastern promoter has
offered me the option on Dorando and
Longboar, and IL / see my way clear
there is possibility that shall inter-
est myself in the game However base
ball will take up a lot of my time for

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 81
The track schedule of Stanford univer-
sity has just been completed by Man
ager j. Z. Stewart and the list of
outside teams that viii contest with
Stanford this year is somewhat smaller
than in the past. This is due to the
failure of Pomona college to muster
men for a team and the fact that no
all southern California aggregation is
to be formed this spring. Stanford will,
however, have preliminary meets with
the University of Southern California,
Olympic club of San Francisco and ST.

The schedule arranged is:
March 13-Varsity VS.. University OF

Gives Up Fight Against the
Anti=Betting Bill
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


SEATTLE, Jan. 27.-Representative
Ole Hansons bill making racetrack
gambling felony in Washington state
passed the house today by decisive
majority and a canvass of the senate
shows that it will be passed there and
that the emergency clause will be at
tached.
James f. McElroy. principal owner Of
The Meadows, has returned from Olym-
pia and to personal friends he said that
he had given up the fight. The race
track followers could muster 15 votes
in the senate, but they would still lack
seven of a majority, and they do not
care to put their friends up against a
losing game.
There is talk of using The Meadows
for some other purpose than races this
summer, and it is possible that an eff
fort will be made to hold the state fair
in Seattle instead of North Yakima now
that The Meadows will be available.
The bill makes conducting pool SELL
ing, book making or places where bets
are made on horse races a felony. and
provides that the possession of gam
bling paraphernalia shall be prima
facie evidence of a violation Of the act.
