8 SCH00NERS
ARE WRECKED
ALONG COAST
One from This City and Two
from South Amboy--
Crews Rescued.
WIND AND HEAVY SEA
--MEN LASHED TO MAST

Three-masted schooner s. A.
Fownes, bound from this city for st.
Johns. N. B., lies anchored off the
coast of Pollock Rip, abandoned by
her captain and crew Of four men.
The schooner encountered one of the
worst gales ever experienced on the
Atlantic coast yesterday and to add
to the dangers very heavy sea was
running.
The schooner withstood the toss
ing and rolling for hours but when
the masts were carried away, little
hope was cherished either for the
boat or its crew. Under the direc-
tion of Dewitt Buck, captain of the
schooner, all hands did everything
in their power to keep the boat
afioat. At last 1t was decided that
the men were taking their lives in
their own hands IL they stuck to the
ship. The revenue cutter Gresham
happened to be in the vicinity, saw
the danger to the crew, landed along
side OF the fioundertng vessel and
with much difficulty succeeded in
taking off the captain and his men.
The boat was loaded with coal at the
Lehigh Valley wharves in this city
December 8.
South Amboy Boat Lost.
The three-masted schooner Thom-
as b. Garland, bound from South
Amboy for Salem, laden with coal,
was totally destroyed off the coast
of Nantucket yesterday and her crew
saved. The schooner could not
the rolling and tossing OF
the mighty sea and after a number
of hours went to pieces off the coast
of Great Point. The schooner coaled
at the Pennsylvania docks, In South
Amboy, the sixth of December, and
sailed on the 7th in command OF
Captain e. C. Wallace. 1t is under
stood that Captain Wallace had six
men as crew when he sailed from
South Amboy.
Another Boat Wrecked.
Revenue Cutter Gresham saved
the lives OF the crew Of the three
masted schooner N. E. Aver bound
from South Amboy for Mount Desert
when at the height of the gale picked
up the schooner and assisted 1t to
Provincetown. The Aver was caught
off the shoaly coast of Chatham,
Mass, when the Gresham picked her
up. The schooner was loaded with
coal at the Pennsylvania docks at
South An1boy on December Q and
sailed the following day. So great
was the gale in which the schooner
was tossed that a number of tows,
bound north, put back into Chatham
for protection until the storm had
subsidized.

CAUSE OF FIRE
TRUCKS DELAY
is CRITICISED
Protection H. & [. Co. Un-
able to Answer Alarm on
Time Yesterday.
CHIEF ANDERSON TALKS
--HAD NO DRIVER

Absence of driver prevented the
Protection Hook and Ladder Com
pany's truck from going to the fire
at 296 Smith street yesterday after
noon and as @ result there, is more
criticism by Theodore Anderson the
head of the fire department. The
truck remained in the firehouse un-
til A. H. Crowell, superintendent of
the water department. could reach
the house and that was when other
apparatus were returning to their
respective houses. The hook and
apparatus at Mcclellan and Smith
streets. The hooks then turned
into Mcclellan street and proceed
ed back to the house
Chief Anderson said today that 1t
was the same old story Of absolute
need of men in the houses at all
times, for which he says he has been
clamoring for months. He added that
he was tired of asking for men to
take care Of the hrehouses, but hop
ed that there would be one at each
house about January /. He declar-
ed there was need for more and there
should be at least two, but that the
city charter prevents the naming of
paid firemen, consequently only one
can be stationed at house and his
title will be "janitor.' He said such
delays as was incurred by the hook
and ladder truck yesterday, might
mean serious loss of life, as this
truck carries the ladders and main
life-saving apparatus.
The fire yesterday was in a big
three-story frame dwelling house,
which has been adjudged a fire trap.
Fortunately the blaze was not in any
way serious one, and the truck was
not required. 1t started in a fiat
occupied by James Holzheimer, when
some hot Goals were accidentally
dropped on a piece of oil cloth. An
alarm was turned in from box 81 at
Watson avenue and Smith street. The
Lincoln Engine Co. responded. Err
nest Mckenzie and James P. Durham
were among the first men in the Pro-
lection Hook and Ladder truck
house. They hitched up the horses
Mckenzie volunteered to either drive
or handle the tiller wheel In the
rear, but he could find no one to
assist him. so the anparatus remain
ed in the house for Ave minutes. un-
til Mr.. Crowell and Robert Cotton
arrived.
Patrolman l.. G. Jensen reported
that the fire whistle on the New
Jersey Terra Gotta plant failed to
respond properly when the alarm was
turned in.

A CITY ELECTRICIAN
WANTED BY UNIONS

Representing the local branch of
the American Federation of Labor,
a committee composed of Emil Frey,
of the terra Gotta workers, Jesse Da-
sls, of the painters, Rudolph Schuck
and Jay FRANKIE, of the electrical
workers, has appealed to the Board
of Aldermen TO have a union man
appointed as city electrician to take
care of the FIRE alarm and police call
system.
The work is now being done very
satisfactorily by the Public Service
Corporation and the Board OF Alder
men see no reason why they should
change unless city electrician could
be procured to do the work at the
same price and IN an equally salts
factory manner. 1t is understood
that first class union man would
want about $4,000 for the job, while
the Public Service Corporation is
doing 1t for $1,000.

SALOON MONEY
WILL Be LESS
Comparison of License Rev.
enue With Last Year.

Unless the excise commissioners
should hold special meeting this
month and grant more licenses, 1910
will show a decrease of several hun
dred dollars as compared with the
liquor license receipts of 1909. This
is accounted for In the fact that
while the excise commissioners have
refused to renew several licenses
held by saloon keepers on grounds
which seemed sufficient to them, they
have not granted any purely new IL
censes during the year. There have,
however, been many transferrals and
renewals which however do not in
crease the receipts under the head
of liquor licenses.
Last year as compared with this
year, with December. 1910, subject
to change, as has been intimated
above, Is as follows, the totals rep
resenting the money paid in for IL

Washington, Dec. 17:-The direct
election of United States senators
today threatened to overshadow all
other issues In the present session OF
the senate. "Old guard" leaders
conferred today as to means to pre-
vent the movement from getting
headway. Senators Hale and Root
are credited with activities In the
effort of standpatters to keep the
resolution favoring it in the commit
tee on judiciary until the sixty-frst
congress adjourns.
A meeting of the judiciary COM
mittee will be held Monday to con-
slider the report of the sub-commit-
tee that voted In favor of the selec-
tion of senator's at the ballot box.
The full committee is about equally
divided, but each claims a majority.
The majority of the sub-commit-
tee was Senators Borah and Rayner,
and the minority was Senator Dill
iingham, OF Vermont. The question
will be submitted to the full COM
mittee next Monday.
The subcommittee has been con.
sidering resolution introduced by
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, but tho
measure adopted was the Tucker
resolution, which was passed by the
House In 1892. The Bristow reso-
luton was held not to provide sufl-
cient machinery to put into force
direct elections of senators, but the
end sought by the Kansas senator is
declared to be accomplished by the
measure agreed upon.

CLOTHING FOR
THE SCHOLARS
Board of Education Aid
PupiIs--Funds Required.

The physical welfare of school
children is being looked after by the
physical welfare committee of the
Board Of Education, of which Charles
r. Fletcher is the chairman. Many
have been supplied with clothing
and shoes and some even with rub
bers that they might attend school
properly clothed and protected from
severe weather.
The committee, which does not
come under the jurisdiction of the
Board of Education, works independ-
emily, the members doing this char
liable work as citizens and not as
school commissioners, for the laws
make no provision for clothing and
feeding children out Of school funds.
This committee is also taking up the
subject of administering medical aid
to children of needy and worthy par
ents. Several of the members have
seen physicians In the city and ex-
planned the existing state of affairs.
The number of cases Of adenoids is
alarming.
Firms and individuals are the
committee in this work and In that
manner funds are secured for fur
nishing clothing to children really in
need. BY public subscription 1t is
proposed to raise funds for giving
medical aid to school children.

MAYOR WANTS
2 PAID MEN
Urges Aldermen to Have
Two Firemen in Houses.

Mayor BollschWeiler appeared be
fore the Board of Aldermen at theil
committee session last night and rec
commended that two paid firemen be
detailed at each house instead oil
one as has been planned. The may
or showed that it was practically
impossible for one man to manage
an apparatus In case of hurry call
for fire and he urged that provis-
ion be made In the 1911 appropria-
ton for two men at each of the six
houses.
AT the present time the apparatus
is dependent upon volunteer flremen
to take 1t to the scene of the fire.
With two paid men IL the volunteers
did not Immediately appear, the ap-
paratus could be taken to the scene
toward which the volunteer men of
the department could be hurrying in
case they did not get to the fire
house In time to go out with the ap-
paratus.
Between fires the paid men could
keep the apparatus and fire houses
in order At yesterdays fire which
fortunately proved small one. sew
eral of the apparatus were delayed In
reaching the fire because of the
present system. Lincoln truck COM
pany had no driver and the Eagle
truck company's horses were at a
point distant from their house work
ing, the fire being under control be-
fore they could return. The mayor
wants the city to own it's fire teams
so that they can be in the houses at
all times. Where the companies own
the teams now the mayor would have
them purchased by the city.
The Board of Aldermen have al
ready appropriated $4,000 to the
fire department for the ensuing year.
This sum provides for one man at
each house. 1t would require about
$4,000 more to place two men In
each house. The Board of Aldermen
came to no decision last night re-
garding the matter bHts may take 1t
up at their meeting Monday night.
Considerable time was taken up
last night In endeavoring to prune
down the appropriations for next
year, but all the items were found
In adQlJIOn TO Inc Two men TO De
detailed at each of the fire houses,
Mayor Bollschwei1er will insist upon
three men as engineers for the steam
ers. This is Mayor Bollschweiler'
idea of a practical department for
Perth Amboy. To the Mayors mind
there Is too much valuable property
in the town to ignore proper facill-
ties for its protection unless the
aldermen see fit to follow out his
ideas in the matter, he will veto the
appropriation ordinance.
Another matter in which the
Mayor wants action taken is the pro-
viding for an increase in the salary
OF the men of the street department.
These men now receive SLAP a day
and the Mayor believes that this
should be Increased to at least Sits.
