The speedy salvage Auto.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
One particular form of miracle that
happens every day in Newark is that
no one is run down by the Salvage
Corps automobile. Every time that ma
chine goes along Broad, Market or
any other crowded thoroughfare it
just misses blowing through numerous
teams and running down pedestrians.
1t is not thus with the ~fre-engines
and trucks. One has plenty of time
to clear the road for them, but that
bowling red machine of the fire in
surance companies is upon one in an
instant, and it is necessary to jump
quickly to save oneself.
Of course, all this speed and go can
show the fine training of the corps
but then some day they are going to
have a smash, and said smash will
cost the fire insurance companies no
mean sum. PUBLIC SAFETY.

TAFT AND THE CENTRAL BANK PLAN.

Ga ECRETARY OF THE TREASURY MeVEAGH said in New

conditions" When the conditions change will the Presidents mind
beEnade up? Among the present conditions is a decided popular
op&osition to the central bank plan proposed by Senator Aldrich.
III banking interests do not look with favor upon the proposition,
ann the people distrust it. Why, indeed, should Mr.. Taft sat the
pr&ent time" advocate the institution of a central bank? But
un1er all conditions and at all times the plan cannot be commended
to popular favor. There are too many dangerous possibilities. in it..

NEWAPK,s INCREASE OF FoREIGN-BORN

III HERE has been Il large addition to the foreign-born popula-
III ton of Newark during the last half decade by reason OF the
II swollen immigration. except in the year 1908, following te
H7ncial panic. and it will be interesting to learn from the census
kborts the amount of the. increase and IT'S distribution. In recent
sars the Italian element. as we'll as the Russian Jews, have made
lice gains. BY the State census five years ago the total population
II Newark was 2S3 $50. of whom $3.50 were foreign born. The
tncinal nationalifies represented were thus distributed: German,
Sss9; Irish. f.006: Italian. 14.621; English, 6313. OF the 2S6oi
iher foreign nationaIties the larger number by far was that OF
IL Russian and Polish Jews. The present census VIII show ina the
Iian and Russian jew populations have made considerable gains
bon the three nationalnies enumerated. We are now getting com
hatively few immigrants from Ireland, the arrivals from Germany
Hc greatly fallen off and there is little increase from England,
Iii our city has absorbed many Italian and Russian Immigrants.
ths NOT imnrobabIe that the census will credit the city with as many
Il > 900 Italians, an increase of more than five thousand, and a
tbportionately large increase from eastern Europe.

STATE FAIR GROUNDS
THREATENED BY FIRE

RICHMON VAS pc ciaI.-
Within one hour Monday water
almost caused the entire destruction
by fire OF several buildings at two
pleasure resorts-the State Fair
Grounds and lakewood Park.
The first blaze was discovered AT
the Fair Grounds, when the steady
rain led a stream to the old bar room
used as a storage room for lime, and
the heat caused the old timbers TO
become ignited. The building was al
most destroyed. though the actual loss
was small. as the structure was of
title value. This alarm was turned
at 7:15. a detail OF men was sent
rom Engine Company No. 10, and
after workirL 80 hours the fire was
extinguisbCd.
At '.l5, an hour later, an alarm
49, Curned in, bringing Engine Com
pany No. q to lakewood Park, where
A small building was discovered in
flames. The damage here was also
small, the flames being extinguished
oy the quick work OF the firemen.
The origin of this fire is not known,
hough some attribute IL to the same
,ause as the other.
Shortly after o'clock this morn
ing an alarm was turned in from
Box 50, corner Preston and Seventh
Streets. The damage here was also

BOSTON, MASS.-Special-R l.
road traffic in many cities and towns
in New England is crippled by the
strike of conductors and trainmen Of
the Grand Trunk and Central Yer
mont Railroads. Train schedules.
both passenger and freight, are being
changed, but, despite effort of the
railroad officials, thousands of dol
lars worth of perishable goods will
be ruined and passengers will be de-
layed for hours at junction points.
Grand Trunk officials say they are
prepared for the strike. and that il
will fail. Their success in handling
their trains today viii count largely
in their efforts TO win the strike. The
train due from Montreal to Boston
this morning at sos arrived on time
This train was taken through to
White River junction by the Grand
Trunk, as its crew started before the
order for the strike went into effect
last night. From White River juno
ton the train was brought to Boston
by Boston and Maine crew.
Shippers throughout Central New

fearful of having them stalled in their
Western journey.
