NEEDED TO
OPEN STREETS TO
REPAIR GAS Pipes
Public Service Company Denied
Writ by Supreme Court
Decision.

That the city of Newark has d right
to compel the Public Service Gas Com
pany to obtain a permit from the street
department before opening a street TO
repair or lay pipes is the opinion hand
ed down by Chief Justice William s
Gummere in the Supreme Court today.
The opinion was delivered in refusing
10 issue writ of certiorari to L. D. H.
Gilmour, representing the Public Serv-
ice Gas Company, in the case of Fran
els Brady, a foreman in the employ OF
the company. who was arrested and
later fined $40 in the First Criminal
Court for opening a street without 4
permit.
1t was Mr.. Gilmours contention that
the company had the right under its
charter to open streets at any time or
place needed for the benefit of its serv-
Ice and did not need to ask for a per-
NIT. He pointed out that the company
always notified the street department
when and where 1t intended doing work
and this made a permit unnecessary.
= City Attorney Herbert Boggs admit
ted that the company notified the city
when work was to be perfoI med, but
contended that a permit was necessary
in order to prevent people other than
the gas company from tearing up the
streets without permission. Mr.. Boggs
pointed out that the permit cost moth
ing.
Chief Justice Gumtnere said; The
issuing of q permit is mere evidence
that the work is to be done and there
is no suggestion that any permit asked
for Will not be granted.
"The charter of the gas corporation
does not say it can tear up the streets
OF the city of Newark at its own will
and pleasure and i don't understand
that the gas company can do as it
pleases in the matter"
/. The chief justice then denied the
writ OF certiorari

LIFE NETS SAVE
SCORE At BIG
INCEND|ARY FIRE
ThriIlino Scenes Mark Charlton
Street Blaze Believed to
Be Firebug's 5 Work.

Viewed in the light of day this morn
ing, fire at l13 Charlton street ap-
peared as though it had been delib-
erately started with the intention Of
cutting off the escape of the tenants
of the two upper floors. who were
forced to jump into life nets. Captain
Henry Martin, of the Salvage Corps,
investigating the fire, came to the con-
clusion that if a strange man whom
Benjamin Cohen saw leaving the build
.ng forty-fiye minutes before the fire
was discovered could be found, some
light could oe thrown on the origin Of
the blaze.
The building is a three-story frame
structure and is directly across the
street from somewhat similar struc-
ture where a similar fire occurred last
month. Last Friday there was a fire
in the rear, while on January % there
was a fire in the cellar. Tenants say
that they have been fraid of fire for
some time, but could give as a reason
for this fear only the frequency OF fires
in the immediate neighborhood.
The blaze early this morning was
started in doorway leading from the
ground floor hallway into Samuel Kras-
ner's stationery and notion store and
Immediately under The stairway. Get
ting firm hold between the walls, it
worked beneath the floors, and when
Mrs. John Stanaiwizz, on the second
floor, was awakened by her spaniel
barking and opened the door to the
stair landing she was met by tongue
of flame roaring through the floor.
The stairway was one mass of flame
and the place filled with smoke. Awak-
ening her husband and her four chill
dren, they tried to get to the front of
the fiat, but the smoke was too thick,
and they got from the rear window to
the roof of a lean-tc and jumped into
the arms of Patrolman Frank Miller,
of the Fourth precinct and Patrolman
William Freiderichs.
The same experience fell to the lot
of Mrs. Jennie Woscowitz and her seven
children. who had to remain in the
burning building, with the flames en-
tering the room. until the firemen ar
rived with net.
Mrs. Max Wallock took charge of
things on the third floor and running
to the next apartment got the four
children of Benjamin Cohen. whose
mother is i'll in the hospital. and whose
father says he was on Prince street
playing pinochle at the time, and led

FIFTY CARRIED
TO DEATH UNDER
new SN0W-sL|DE.
Railroad Workmen, Caught on
Tracks by Avalanche,
Lose Lives.

VANCOUVER, b. c., March Sin a
snow-slide early today between Rogers
Pass station and Glacier, on the line
of the Canadian Pacific. in the Rocky
Mountains, fifty men were killed.
All the victims were workmen for
the railway company and more than
half of them were Japanese.
The men were busy clearing away a
small slide that had come down early
in the evening. They were working a
rotary engine over it when a larger
slide came down and CARED tnem to
their death in the canyon below.
At the first 1t was believed that all
of the 100 men engaged We're killed,
but during the early morning it was
found that many had escaped and the
death list is now estimated to be fifty.
All passenger trains on the line are
safe, though it will probably be day
or two before they are able to pass the
place where the slide occurred.
Last night was one of the worst ever
experienced in the railway section of
the Canadian Rockies. There was a
heavy storm of rain, sleet and snow.
A storm also occurred in the Arrow
lakes. Communication with the East
is down. A long section OF telegraph
line was carried away by the Side.

RESCUERS WORK IN PERIL
TO CLEAR AWAY DEBRIS.
May Take Month to Recover
Bodies of Victims.

WELLINGTON, Wash, March o.
All the bodies of the victims of the
Wellington disaster will not be re-
covered for a month, according to a
statement made by Superintendent
O'Neill today. The great tree trunks
that were carried down by the snow are
entangled with the wreckage of the cars
and other equipment make it difficult
to get to the bodies. Frequently when an
opening is made in the side of car,
the snow rushes in the hole and retards
the work of rescue.
AS soon as the railway line is opened
to the outside world, which will be
within eight or ten days, wrecking der
ricks can be sent to the scene and the
trees and other debris cleared away
with greater facility.
The danger of a second slide is inn
minent. The snow back of the hotel rs
as high as the roof and entrance is
gained through tunnel of snow from
the front.

The Toledo Blade.

The 10th year of its existence
finds the Toledo Blade more pop
ular than at any period in its re-
markable career. 1t is now read
each week by more than a million
people. It's field is not circum-
scribed by state boundaries, but
involves the length and breadth
of the United States, giving an
unque9tionable right of claiming
to be the greatest national weekly
newspaper in the couutTv.
The Weekly Blade is distinctly
a family newspaper. The one OBJ
ject of its publishers has always
been to make it fit for the Ameri-
cab home, for the fireside, and of
interest to every member of the
family. To fulfill this purpose it
has kept clean and wholesome.
The news of the world is handled
in comprehensive manner, aud
the various departments of The
Blade are edited with painstaking
care. No department is neglected,
but every feature is taken care Of
with the idea of making The
Blade worth many times the price
of subsciption-one dollar a year.

Because paying bills by check is the

A Joke on LIoyd-GeOrqe.

S1here is a wicked story going the
sounds about a recent adventure of
David Lloyd-George, Great Britain's
chancellor of the exchequer He was
starting for London from d little sta
ton in South Wales and sat on the
platform ten minutes waiting for his
train He then took d reserved COM
partment, but soon found himself alive
with ants. in whose nest he had been
sitting.
He first shook his coat out of a win
dow and then, becoming desperate, re-
moved his neither garments and shook
them the same way. Along came, an
express On the adjoining track, and
the garment was Whisked out of his
hands. The appalled, cabinet minister
drew all the blinds and when the traia
reached the next station shouted for
the station master and begged him to
supply him with trousers at any cost.
The garments couldn't be produced
on short notice, but the official tele-
graphed ahead, and when London was
reached a discreet official handed a
pair of cOrduroys through the window
to the minister, who soon emerged in
these plebeian togs and jumped into
y cab.-Chicago Tribune.

that even some of the bosses have de
clared they would be before they
would vote for Thornton.
There is great significance in this sit
uation. 1t is to be interpreted as d.
lance of the powers that have been. Il
means an alignment against the one-man
power and his allies. The whole people
of this State, not bound to the political
machine, are on the eve of an insurrec-
ton. 1t is an indication of determina-

In the selection of a senator to the
people should be left the decision by a
primary election as provided by the law
of the State.
Instead of arrogating to himself au-
thority to name senator, the issue
would have been settled satisfactorily
to at least majority of the electors vot-
ing, if the Governor had so decreed, and
there would have been no need for
special session.
The issue is clear 1t is simply
whether the people should decide who is
to be the senator or whether a majority
of the Legislature shall at the command
of Governor Sanders elect a man whom
he favOrS above all others and who, it
is understood will in time resign in
order to give opportunity to Governor
Sanders to enter the lists for the sena-
torship in 1912.
Perhaps the scheme, as planned, may
be carried, and possibly it may not.
However, in either event it is not posi-
BILE for the Governor to escape the dis
credit of opposition provoked against
his friend and champion, Judge Thorn

From present indications it is doubtful
if the Legislature will name the success

such failure, there should be an imme-
1iate call for a primary at which the
qualified voters by majority can deter
