time ago, received letter this

pointed, asking that the two watch

cluded valuable residence. two
story garage and valuable site.

something, for in the communica-

DIVISION GROWS IN
REPUBLICAN RANKS
Differences Between PARTY Leaders
and Governor Fort Becoming
More Acute Every Dav.

Trenton, March SIT would be i'm
possible to conceal the breach in repub-
lican ranks, if anybody wanted to. Ap-
parently, nobody does. War is on be
tween the republicans identified with
the party management and Governor
Fort and his followers, who comprise
most of the state 3 officials, though not
all by any means. The cause Of the
outbreak was the suggestion Of the state
republican committee that somebody
should look after party interests in the
Legislature. Former Governor Stokes
was the principal leader in this move
ment Governor Fort took this as a
personal affront, and made sharp
criticism. He said he and the republic
ans in the legislature could look after
party interests without help, and want
ed no lobbyists around. Mr.. Stokes
made a reply, and Former Governor
Franklin Murphy, leader of the regular
organization, issued formal letter, ad-
dressed to the republicans of the state,

OLD SLOCUM
BEING RAISED
Now Barge Maryland and
Sank in Raritan River,
Loaded With Brick.
BY MERRiTT-CHAPMAN co.

George Hardiman, local representa-
tive of the Merritt Chapman Derrick &
Wrecking Company, was notified Sstur-
day afternoon to have a pilot ready at
Is o'clock Yesterday morning to take
the company wrecking steamer, the
Hustler, up the Raritan river TO Sayre-
vile, to raise the barge Maryland,
which sank at Sayre Fisher s brick
yard, Friday afternoon.
The Maryland is barge made from
the hull of the General Slocum, the
steamer on which hundreds Of lives
were lost in He'll Gate. 1t is owned by
a Philadelphia firm and is one Of the
largest barges in this vicinity.
The barge reached the brickyard
from New York on February %, to be
loaded with a cargo for Wilmington.
Del On account of it's size the loading
took some time, but at O'Clock Fri
day afternoon about $500 brick were
on board. Suddenly the boat started to
settle and in few minutes had sunk
completely, $4,000 brick being washed
overheard.
On account OF the~receding tide the
boat had grounded and then split in the
middle, causing cracks FIVE and six
inches wide. Arrangements were made
Saturday with the Merritt Chapman
Company to raise the boat and the work
is under way. The Hustler stopped at
this city shortly after 6 o'clock yester-
day morning while Mr.. Hardiman plae-
ed river pilot aboard, and then pro-
ceeded to Sayreville.
The barge was to have been tOwed to
Wilmington Saturday.

asserting the duty of the state commit
tee to look after all matters affecting
the party and making illusions to 90 half
republicans and secret enemies. No
body doubted whom the former govern
or referred to. Governor Fort made no
reply, but there was no question that he
was angry and knew that be was the
object Of the attack.
The differences between the republic
an party leaders and the governor have
been long-eontinued. They began al
most Immediately after his inaugura-
tion a year ago last January in regard
to appointments. One of the main
causes of dispute was the reappoint-
ment Of Winton G. Garrison, of this
city, as Chief of the Bureau Of Stats
tics. The governor refused to name
him, and was induced 10 change his
mind only after long contest and much
exciting correspondence. Mr.. Garrison
had displaced the governor s father-in-

the watchmen. The watchmen Will
be discharged at once. and If the
property comes to harm the blame
cannot be placed on the receiver,
says the mayor.
Vice Chancellor Howell appoint
ed the receiver and granted an in
junction against waste in the chan
Gerry chambers, Newark, on Decem-
ber last, on application of the
Federal Trust Company. The order
gave the receiver the right to hire
such persons, as in his judgm ent
were necessary 10 protect the mort
gagged premises.
Mr.. Bollsehweiler stated that he
intended to go TO Newark tomorroT
morning to confer with the vice
chancellor about the matter, as he
does not think that the counsel fol-
the trust company have any right
to give such orders. If the vice
chancellor says SO, the mayor will
discharge the watchmen, but not be
fore.

MAY SETTLE
FINANCE BILL
Legislature Resumes Its
Duties This Afternoon
Several Hearings On.
MAY ADJOURN APRIL |

Trenton, March S:-Several bills
drawn in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the special finance COM
mittee of the house and senate will
probably be introduced when the leg
islature resumes its sittings this week.
These in more than one instance will
call for the diversion of money from
public school uses In accordance with
the decision reached at the conference
In Jersey City Friday night, the demo
cratic members of the legislature will
place themselves ON record as against
most of the propositions of the finance
committee.
With the settlement of this real OF
imaginary financial crisis the legisla.
ture will have accomplished all that
the leaders of the republican party
desire, and adjournment will thereupon
be urged. By working the legislature
to Wednesday night OF this week and
for three or four days next wee, it Is
believed by the party leaders that they
can begin to talk adjournment In the
week following, SO that the date for
closing the last of March or the first OF
April Perhaps All Fools day wouldn 4
Ocean Grove Hearing.
The hearings will start off this af-
ternoon with consideration of the house
bill for the incorporation of Ocean
Grove as borough, and win be con-
tinued ON Tuesday with consideration
Of the senate local option exice bill
Other measures to be discussed will in.
clude a number of the pure food and
drug measures and the house public

Local Option Hearing.
The church and Temperance people of
the state will be here in force to attend
the local option hearing, but not many
Of them will get an opportunity to be
heard. The AntiSaloon League has
decided this year to eliminate the
prayer meeting" feature Of the hear.
ing which the saloon people have made
SO much of in years past.
The league will try to keep most OF
the elergymen from appearing directly
in favor of the bill. Instead, there
will be heard two professional anti
saloon men from outside the state, and
only six addresses will be made in fav-
or of the measure. Just what effect
this will have on the senators remains
to be seen, but it is known that the
new plan win not fail to furnish an
opening for the opponents Of the bill
who will declare that there can be nc
great demand for local option when ii
is necessary TO 60 outside the state to
get speakers to advocate it.
The liquor men will be represented by
some Of the cleverest lawyers of their
home state, and strong speeches win be
made against the Plummer bill.
The passage of the bill through the
senate is hardly expected, for some of
the senators are decidedly against the
local option idea, and most of them are
opposed to doing anything with the ex-
else question this yea.

Cheaper shoes, clothes. window glass,

demand for reduction.
The committee on ways and means
has agreed to 80 per cent reduction
In all steel schedules except biltsts.
The duties on woolens will be reduced.
The wooden mills are no longer de-
pendent on protection, and the price OF
cloth is too high, the leaders think.
Plate and window glass will be re-
duced, and lumber will be put on the
free list.
Wood pulp and print paper viii be
materially reduced, and there is q
strong chance Of their being admitted
duty free. The house bill will include
provision for free hides A reduc-
ton on shoes and other leather goods
will also be provided fer in the bill

ment on coffee tax. Chairman Payne

Of the house for appointments to fill
the three existing vacancies on the

that Representative Dearmond will
