GREAT LABOR DINNER
 FOR LEADER MCGEE.

Cheered, praised and celebrated, his ten months of Imprisonment in New Haven jail must have seemed like a dream to Frank McGee, the martyr to the cause of labor," as he has been called, who was dined by the Elm City labor unionists last night at the Hotel Oneco, after just having finished serving his sentence for using means of intimidation at strike somewhat. over a year ago at the Me Lagon foundry.
 Fully 200 representatives of the To- cal and out of town labor organiza- tions had assembled to do honor to McGee, on the night of his delibera- ton from jail, and among the invited guests were men prominent in labor circles as well as in the legal pro- fession. High tribute to the person. ality and the character of McGee was the keynote common to all the thoughts expressed by the speakers. Much was also said about the law, under which McGee had been con victed, and it was almost without ex- ception condemned by every one of the speakers, including members of the bar present. although the sheer ity of the judges and attorneys who tried McGee's case was not question ed.

NEW ATTACK
ON SPEAKER
BY FOWLER
Special by Umited Press Wire.

Special bv United Press Wire.
Washington, April 21:-Summing
|up a sweeping resolution, which he
introduced into the House today,
Representative Fowler, republican,
|of New Jersey, said 1t was the final
step to insure the absolute freedom
of the House. II the resolution is
adopted, 1t will reduce the speaker
to a mere parliamentary puppet,
stripping him OF all appointive pow
er.
The resolution creates two com-
mittees of members, minority and
majority, who are to elect members
of standing committees of the House.
The measure directs the head of the
census bureau to draw six parallel
lines running north and south divid-
ing the United States into seven sec
tions, In each of which the popula-
ton Is to be practically the same.
The members within each are to
meet, elect one Of their number as
a member of committee on COM
mittees. Seven democrats are to
name all the democratic committee
men and seven republicans all the
republican committeeman, acting
separately.
Discussing his measure, Mr.. Fow-
Ter said; The dissolution Of the
speakers power, so elegantly abused
by the speaker, is absolutely essen
tial for the restoration of free rep
resentatiye government. We have
already eliminated the speaker from
the committee on rules; now 1t is
time to strip him of power to APP
point committees and limit his func-
tions to the single duty of presiding
over the deliberations Of the House.
! believe that neither the republican
nor democratic members can afford
to falter in the accomplishment OF
this great reform, because people are
now demanding something more
than mere slavish party service"
Fowler's resolution was read in full
by the clerk. Representatives Payne
and Mann made point of order
against 1t. After a parliamentary
skirmish, Fowler said he would
withdraw the resolution from pres
ent consideration, and he marched
down the aisle, putting the measure

BOY is HURT
BY BAD FALL.
FROM AUTO

What might have been a repeti-
ton of the MacFarlane accident of a
few days ago, in which nine-year-
|old boy was run over and instantly
killed while trying to catch a ride
on the running board of one of the
fire trucks, occurred yesterday morn
ing, when Andrew Smith, fourteen
years old, of Paterson street, was
thrown from the running board of
Dr. j. l.. MacDowall's automobile,
sustaining injuries to the head
which later caused him to lapse into
Inconsistencies.

other boys coming from school No.

around the physicians machine to
watch the chauffeur crank it. When
1t started Smith was ON the running

TROLLEY CAR
DERAILED BY
SMALL BOARD
Accident at State Smith SITS.
Last Night Caused Consid-
erable Excitement.
STOPPED WITH FENDER
ON The SIDEWALK

Trolley car No 1853, which ar
rfves in this city from Sewaren about
TAB o'clock every night, while trav-
cling at a fair speed last night, ran
off the track at Smith and State
streets, striking the curb on the
north side of the former thorough
fare, coming within few feet of the
window OF Frank S. Mead's jewelry
store and narrowly missing several
persons who were standing on the
sidewalk. The car, when stopped,
was almost at right angles to the
track and it was-necessary to call the
wrecking crew in order to replace it.
Probably 1000 persons watched the
operations of the crew during the
half hour which they consumed in
replacing the car.
The cars leaving the track was
caused by the wheels running up on
board, which was one Of several
placed near the tracks by Assistant
Street Commissioner Flynn earlier in
the day, to protect the recently made
improvements to the pavement. In
some manner possibly by o passing
1icle, the board had been knocked

within few feet Of it. He applied
the brakes, shaking up the several
passengers, but was unable to avoid
hitting the obstruction.
During the half hour required to
replace the vehicle, traffic on the line
leading to New Brunswick was not
suspended. as the cars used the
curve at the western end of the
square.

WATER BID. TO
TALK IT OVER
will Meet Representatives OF Master Builders Association
at Private Committee Session. May 8 to Discuss Pro-
test Against Awarding Of Recent Contracts.

The Board of Water Commission
ers last night decided to meet pri-
vately committee from the Master
Builders Association, at 8 o'clock In
the evening Of Tuesday, May 8, for
the purpose Of discussing the build
ers' protest against the alleged un-
fair manner by which the board re-
Gently awarded contracts to G. #.
Hodgson, of Metuchen.
The Master Builders Association,
at the last meeting of the water
board, filed written protest setting
forth their reasons for claiming that
the contracts for the erection of an
addition TO the pump house at Run
yon and for the construction of q
sub-foundation for the new 12,0O0,-
O00-gall0n pump had not been
awarded fairly. The protest, at that
time, was referred to the COMMITTEES
of the whole and it was expected
that the board and the builders
would meet the following Monday
night to take up the matter. The
latter, however, had not yet appoint
ed committee, SO the conference
was deferred. Last week the build
ers' association met and named q
committee and instructed its secre-
tary, v. F. Christofferson, to arrange
date with the water board for a
meeting. Mr.. Christofferson COM
municated with w. Guy Weaver
clerk of the water board, and the
latter reported verbally to the board
last night.
Mr.. Weaver stated that MIR. Chris
Jefferson had called him up on the
telephone Tuesday night relative tc
the matter. He said he told him
that the commissioners would prob.
ably take up the question in commit.
! tee session that night. AS the board
held no committee session Tuesday
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-04-21

night, Mr.. Weaver added, he had
told Mr.. Christofferson prior to the
meeting last night that he would
bring up the subject during the
meeting and inform him Of the
boards decision later. Following
the clerks report, Commissioner
Haney suggested that the board meet
the committee Of builders at the next
committee session 50 that the mat
ter could be talked over informally.
The suggestion was embodied In a
motion that the clerk ask the repre-
sentatives of the association to be
present at the committee session on
May 8.
The action OF the builders has
aroused considerable interest as, II
true, some of the charges made are
serious. Although not in the formal
protest, the builders contend thai
Mr. Hodgsonsis an employe OF one oi
the water commissioners, and that
both contracts are practically award
led to q member of the board. The
builders also claim that they were
unable to secure plans of the work
until three days before the awarding
They assert that the plans were pur'
posely withheld and that they were
drawn in such a manner that they
could not be figured on with any de-
gree Of accuracy.
The committee sessions of the wa
ter board are private, hence the con
ference between tn builders and the
board will be informal. 1t was gen
orally believed that the meeting Of
the builders and the board would be
during regular meeting, in which
case the conference would be official
instead OF informal. and would be
open. The builders committee may
refuse to meet the board in private
session.
