NOW IN SHAPE
Replica of FuIton's First
Steamboat Given Success
full Trial Trip.
ON THE KILL Won KuLL

New York, Sept. 17:-The Clermont,
an exact replica of Robert Fulton g IA
nous steamboat, the first steam craft
ever launched, is all ready to steam up
the Hudson ahead of the great water
pageant that is to mark the Hudson
Fulton celebration. The little steam
boat with her primitive paddle wheels
and her long, ungainly smokestack, was
put to severe test in the Kill Won
Kull, near where she was built, and
was found fit in every respect for the
trip she is to make in duplication OF
the first appearance of her famous pre-
decessor, which marked the era of
steam navigation. The bell and an
chor of tlre original Clermont have been
installed on board the new craft. Her
engines are capable of driving her
along at greater speed than the first
steamboat was capable Of, the new YES
sci steaming handily at six miles an
hour. A peep at her machinery shows
how wise Fulton was in his day and
generation, for the general plan of the
engines is very similar to those in use
on modern river steamboats, There is
the familiar walking beam, and the
construction of the boilers is along the
same line as those of present day
boats.

MIL LWAUKEE'S
BIG GREETING
President Taft Advances
Further on His Tour OF
the Country.
TALKS ABOUT THE LAW

Special by United Press wira
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 17:-Pres-
ident Taft plunged into the insur-
gents territory today and at once
proceeded to smile upon both fac
tions of the party. The President
left his train here at A. NJ. and was
escorted TO points of interest about
the city He made an address at the
fair ground at 10 o'clock and left at
11:40 o'clock for La Crosse, Wis.
Will Fulfill Platform Promise.
Mr.. Taft said he intended &c recon-
mend to congress In his first message
legislation TO carry out the platform
promise as TO injunctions-that no In
junction or restraining order should be
issued without notice except where ir-
reparable injury would result from de-
lay, In which case a speedy hearing
should be granted.
The president declared anew his be-
lief in organized labor and congratu-
lated the leaders of the movement that
''they have set their faces like flint
against the doctrines of socialism"
Taking up next the subject OF the
CouTls, the lhcsluSht asscAtCu WIN cAA
nest emphasis that no question before
the American people today Is more
important than the improvement of the
administration of justice and announc-
ed his intention of recommending to
congress the appointment of a commits
sion to take up the question of the
laws delay In the federal courts
He asserted that the administration
of criminal law today is disgrace to
American civilization, Ashamed of the
fact, as Americans might well be, he
declared that the poor man has not
now an equal opportunity with the
rich litigaut and said 1t was bis pur-
pose to do what he could to place the
poor man on more equal footing.
Believes In Organized Labor.
On the subject of trades unions he
said
Il do not think trades unionism was
greatly aided by the attempt to drag
all organized labor into politics and TO
induce it TO vote one way But that
does not prevent my placing proper
estimate upon the immense good for
labor In general which its organization
and its efforts to secure higher wages
have accomplished.

The ante-primary situation was
further complicated today by the
announcement of the three demo-
cratic members of the Board of Ex-
else Commissioners that they would
not be candidates for denomination.
They made public today letter sent
to Chairman Richard F. White, of
the democratic city committee, ex-
planning their attitude in the matter.
Party leaders in discussing the
today said that perhaps
Messrs. Mulchahey. Seaman and
Meshrow felt offended because they
had not been seen personally and
asked to get up petitions.
I'VE made up our minds not TO
take hand in the excise board busi-
ness at this time," said the leaders
today, but to let available candi-
dates prepare their petitions and
have the people decide in the open
primaries who should be the candi-
dates. -
Several men in both parties have
petitions either in circulation or on
file for the excise board and the list
may be completed tonight. OF the
present commissioners William H
Cheshire is the only one who has a
petition out. The other republican
member, Fred R Walker. has moi
yet been heard from, but Fred R
Mccoy is after place on the G. o
P. ticket and his petition is on rec
ord The board consists of five
members.
On the democratic side of the

There is talk among the Health
Commissioners of abandoning the
night collection of garbage and re-
turning to the old method of taking
up the refuse during the day. In
that event, however, the night sys-
TEN would go into effect again on
June 1, 1910, and continue during
the summer months.
When the new method was inaug-
urated it was done so with view of
determining the best time for the
collection of the city's refuse. The
night plan has been praised bY some
and criticized by others. Some
members of the Health Board would

make the night system effective dur
ing the summer months only. In
that event 1t would cease on October
1 and the day system would be re-
turned to.
Chairman Henderson, of the sani-
tation committee of the Board of
Health, who has had much to do
with the Inauguration of the new
system, is heartily in favor of con-
tinuing it throughout the year, as
are also, it is said, the contractors,
Graham & McKeon. Mr.. Henderson
will hold conference with the con-
tractors and some of the city fathers
tonight or tomorrow.

A big sulphuric acid plant is under
construction at the American Agri-
cultural Chemical Company's plant.
better known as the Liebig Works,
at Roosevelt. The acid department
is one of the largest in this part of
the country and when complete will
neeessitate the services of many
men.
When the plant is finished the
American Agricultural & Chemical
Company will manufacture its own
sulphuric acid and line of steam
ships will run between the plant and
Huelva, Spain, for the specific pur-
pose of carrying pyrites. Arrange
ments have been made with the local
custom house for entering and clear
ing the vessels.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1909-09-17
NEW LINE OF
STEAMERS SOON

Sulphuric acid is used in the man
ufacture of fertilizer and heretofore
it had been made elsewhere and
shipped to the Roosevelt plant.
There will be financial saving for
the concern when the sulphuric de-
partment opens up and it will bring
employment TO many men in Roose-
Welt and vicinity.
Many men are now employed in
the construction of the addition to
the fertilizer plant. The plant will
be in charge of Mr.. Quinn, who came
here few weeks ago from Florida.
The new plant covers approximately
an acre of ground. The tramways to
be used for unloading the steamers
will be electrified by the third rail
system.
