Increase to Judges.

Mr.. Bailey condemned the increase Of
salaries for Federal judges. He remind
ed Senators that they were rating them
selves rather low by proposing TO give
Federal judges more than was paid q
Senator. He described a defeated Sena-
tor as "a discredited politician" and
compared unfavorably his status with
that OF q judge on retired pay. He said
he would gladly vote to increase the saIa-
ries Of some judges If they would leave
the bench permanently. He knew many
district judges. and only four or FIVE OF
them ever made an income from practice

CERITY TO RUN
IN WOODBRIDGE

in one of the polling places and it is
held that the laws forbids an cleo
tion officer being a candidate on the
ticket AS Dooley was third man
and only two were to be nominated
some thought Gerlty would have to
be dropped, leaving the democratic
candidates McCarty and Dooley. AT
a recent meeting of the township
committee in Woodbridge 1t was an
nounced that McCarty and Dooley
would be the candidates.
County Clerk Conger says, how
ever, that it is not for him to say
who is on the election board and who
Is not. He merely takes the primary
returns and makes up the official
ballots from those receiving the
highest number of votes, which, In
this case. gives the nomination to
Gerity and McCarty. The official
ballots have thus been prepared and
unless an order from the court in
structs differently McCarty and
Gerity will be the democratic eandi-
dates for committeeman.

COrpOra
tOSeCurG'Sayre
Fisher Tract
Near Keasbey
as Site for New
StatiOn--RumOr
of Amusement
Resort Denied.

A deal of great Importance became
public today when 1t was reported
that the Public Service Corporation
Is negotiating for the purchase of
the tract OF land which fronts 600
feet on the Raritan river and runs
north between the Perth Amboy and
Standard plants of the National Fire
proofing Company, across Smith
street, and through Amusement Park
to the southerly line of the John
Manning estate.
The tract is owned by the heirs OF
the estate of James r. Sayre and
Peter Fisher and is one of the most
valuable strips of land In this vicin-
ity, particularly on account of Its
water frontage. While it is general
ly reported that the Public Service
has purchased the-land, several OF
the officials this morning said that
although negotiations were under
way, title had not passed.
The Public Service wants the tract
as the site for large power house
which Is to be erected on the water
front II the deal goes through 6
power house OF capacity of 1900
kilowatts. one of the officials said to-
day, would be erected to supply the
trolleys and improve the lightinf
conditions in this vicinity. The
building Of the new house, 1t was
also stated, would not affect the Me
| tuchen plant. which would be run az
/ formerly. For some time the P. s
| C. has been considering the erection
of large power plant near this city
and while there is no certainty that
| the Sayre & Fisher l~act Will bt
purchased. the new static n is likely
to be built somewhere near hers
shortly.
When James G. Rossi, superin
tendent of the plants of the Nationa
Fireproofing Company in this vicin
ity, was questioned about the matter
this morning. he said that he under
stood that the land had been sold tc
the Public Service. AS the tract
runs between two of the company'i
plants It has been used as a storage
place for material and stock Mr.
Rossi said, however, that the com.
pay had received no notice as yet tC
remove 1t.
Deny Rumor Of Day Resort.
1t was also rumored that the Pub
| lie Service intended to convert
Amusement Park, which is included
in the tract, into an amusement re-
sort similar to Electric Park. neal
Newark The officials, however, said
that there was absolutely nothing
along that line contemplated.
For the past two weeks represen.
tattpes of the Public Service have
been seen on the tract making Dor.
ings, taking measurements and Sc,
curing other data, which gives rea.
son for the belief that the company
is thinking seriously of purchasing
1t.

Unless the supreme court orders
differently the name of James p
Gerity will be placed on the demo-
cratic ballot in Woodbridge township
for township committeeman. County
Clerk John H. Conger said today he
had no other choice in the matter
He declared that his duties were
merely clerical and that he would
put those names on the ballot which
received the highest number Of
votes at the primary election. As
there is a likelihood of Woodbridge
authorities asking the court to give
a decision in the matter, Mr.. Conger
is holding up the ballots for the
time being pending such action.
At the primary election the names
of James Dooley and James p. Gerity
were ON the democratic ticket. But
the friends of Heber F. McCarty got
to work quietly and polled many
votes for him with the result that
Gerity and McCarty were high men.
But then it was discovered that
Gerity served as an election officer

lowed them TO converse with him
through the slot at the outer corridor
dor. They talked so long that McDer-
motifs suspicions was aroused and, as
he. watched, he saw Fedorovitz with a
bottle in his hand just about to push
1t through the opening.
The sergeant took the bottle, which
contained whiskey, from Fedoroyitz
and locked him mp for the night
When arraigned this morning Fedora
yitz said he had bought the whiskey
for himself and that, while he was
talking to the prisoner, the woman took
the bottle from his pocket and tried to
give it to her husband Recorder
Pickersgill told him he did not believe
his story and imposed a fine. Fedora
vitz could not pay It and was locked
up again.

WATER
COMPANY AGAIN

Mayor Albert Bollschweiler has
received a communication from the
Woodbridge township authorities
asking him to reconsider his action
against the Keasbey Water Company
of some months ago and it is likely
that he will do so. The Board of
Water Commissioners at their meet
ing Wednesday night dealt briefly
with the question. President Clark
stated that the action of forming the

avoid putting the proposition to a
referendum vote, should the town
ship authorities wish water service
in that part of the township, as they
do.
Water Commissioners Fraser had a

talk with man a few days ago,who
owns property in Keasbey. Fhe lat
ter told him that consultation had
been held with Mayor Bollschweiler
and the mayor seemed in favor OF
allowing the Keasbey company to
obtain water from the city for the
purpose of distribution to individuals
in Keasbey
1t is very likely that the Keasbey
concern will again apply for water
and another contract may be drawn,
so that Keasbey will have water SER
vice by spring.
The fact that a referendum vote is
necessary for the Woodbridge town
ship to handle the question has
caused 1t to abandon the idea.
