BEATEN BY GANG
Eight Young E1en Attack
John PetrasZka on
Hall Avenue.
POLICEMAN TO RESCUE

John Petraszka, proprietoro of a saloon
at $50 Hall avenue, was attacked by
eight foreigners while standing in front
of his place about 1880 this morning
and was severely beaten. Had not Pa
trolman Gutowski arrived in time the
saloonkeeper would have been perhaps
fatally injured.
When the policeman came to his res
cue Mr. Petraszka was unconscious and
had to be carried into his house. He
was revived about fifteen minutes later
and was found to be uninjured beyond
some bruises. In the meantime Patrol
man Gutowski had caught two of the
assailants. The others escaped At the
police station the men gave their names
as Mike Posterik eighteen years old, of
II Parker street, and Miclo Zansho
twenty-one years old, Of State street
When arraigned this morning they
pleaded not guilty but, as Mr.. Petraszka
was unable to appear, Recorder Pickers-
gill remanded them without bail to
await hearing tonight.
Patrolman Gutowski said that as he
was on Hall avenue he heard a crowd
of men coming over the railroad bridge
singing and making much noise. He
started in theirk direction to tell them
to keep quiet, when he saw them stop
in front Of Mr.. Petraszka. The officer
says he heard them cry, Let s give it
to him. and Immediately knocked
down the saloon man and began to
kick him. The policeman ran to the
group and with his club rescued the
fallen man. Gutowski grabbed Post
erik and Zansho but the others fed.
Alexander Petraszka, brother of the
saloonkeeper, said this morning that
his brother, if able, would appear
against the prisoners tonight

SOUTH AMBOY AGAINST


Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, Sept. 15:-A number
of amusing incidents occurred yester-
day at the second ward polling place.
While it was supposed that all saloons
were closed, yet there were those who in
sisted on having a republican ticket.
Others, on account of the NEWS cor
respondent being on the election board
and the size of the ballots, wished to
know if copies of the Perth Amboy
EVENING NEWS were being used for
tickets, while others would come in the
polling place and, after spending five
or ten minutes in reading over the
amendments, would exclaim, ~ don It
know anything about this and l am not
going to vote for anything I don Z
know anything about throw down
the ballot and retire from the building.
In counting the ballots cast in the
second ward, it was evident there was
considerable confusion in the minds of
some of the voters, as one-ninth of the
ballots were rejected on account of
neither the 'for' or "against hav-
ing been marked. The result was as
follows:

SEAMAN FOR
ALDERMAN IN
SECOND WARD
Petition in Circulation for
Present School Commits
sioner for Council.
WILLIAM w. PIERCE
OUT OF THE SITUATION
Democrats Open Headquart-
ers in McCoRmick Build
ing, With Man in Charge.

The petition of Fred A. Seaman for
the democratic nomination for alder
man in the second ward is in circula-
tino and will be filed with City Clerk
La Roe today. At noon the petition
had nearly the required number of sig
natures.
The announcement that Mr.. Seaman
was after the aldefmanic nomination
came as a surprise to many as it was
generally believed that he would run
again for school commissioner. Mr..
Seaman S term as a member of the
Board of Education expires this year
and his record while commissioner,
his friends declare, will result in his
election by large majority AS a
man of veracity and integrity, Mr.. Sea
man has won praise and respect in the
past two years and is not likely to be
opposed for the nomination. The name
of William w. Pierce was favorably
mentioned for the aldermanic nomina-
tion last week, but he has declined in
favor of Mr.. Seaman.
Democratic Headquarters Opened.
The official headquarters of the dem
ocrats of this city has been opened in
the Mccormick building at Smith and
High streets. The offices front on
Smith street and in a few days a large
transparency will be put on. John
Quinn has been engaged as secretary
and will be on duty permanently.
Boom for Excise Commissioner.
Frederick R. Mccoy, of State street,
a bookkeeper at the Barber Asphalt
Works, has petition in circulation pro
posing himself for excise commissioner.
He is republican.
He has almost the required number
of signers upon his petition.
Sixth Ward Democrats.
A conference of the democrats Of the
sixth ward was held in Mussigbrodt Is
hall in Hall avenue last night. The
coming campaign was freely discussed
and the names of Alexander Petraszka
and Henry Sandbeck for aldermen
were talked over. 1t was decided that
both men should go before the voters al
the primaries, SO neither was endorsed
Perth Amboy evening news., 1909-09-15

The amendments were carried In this
city by an average majority of 1853, the
total number of votes cast being less
than 500. The first amendment was
carried by majority of las; the sec
ond by ls9; the third by IT'S; the
fourth by SO, and the fifth by 199.
The vote was very light and little in
terest was apparently taken in the cleo
tion during the day, although many
voted between and o'clock. 1t did
not take the boards long to count up
and file the returns with the city clerk,
as the election did not average fifty
ballots to district.
Many thought that the majority in
this city would be against the amend
ments and the result caused consider
able surprise.
