ROW OVER THE
RAILROAD BILL
ContInued From First Page.

Continued From First Page.
Aldrich had the bin reported 20 the
Senate committee and thusincurred the
wrath OF Ellxins was told by a member
Of the committee to-day.
When the bill was first entered in
Elkins' committed Aldrich, who is a
member, listened patiently for a few
hours and then declared:
1--WE will report the bill"
"But have not even read it yet"
protested Elkins, "and I don't know
what is in il. / introduced IL because
II was handed to me, but haven't the
slightest idea what It contains"
"Well. you don't need TO read it, re-
torted Aldrich. because / have read II,
and anyhow it has already been agreed
upon"
But I insist that we shall consider
it," shouted Elkins. and so Aldrich
finally consented to consideration of
tho bill.
After the bill had been in committee
few days il was agreed between Cum
minis and EllSins and Wickersham that
a certain amendment should be made
to the bill showing that it is not in
tended to. nullify the provisions of the
SherSan Antitrust act with regard to
combinations. Wickersham brought
the amendment to the committee the
next day and Cummins and EllSins
agreed TO accept the amendment.
Then up spoke Aldrich from the other
end OF the table. there will be no
amendments TO this bill"
but" said Wickersham, ''this
amendment is acceptable to the adj
ministration."
''Well," retorted Aldrich. 81 have
seen the President since any of you
gentlemen have seen him. was at
the White House to-day and this bill
viii be reported as it Is. I move that
the bill be reported with the recon-
mendation that it do pass'-and the
amendment carried.
This is one reason that Elkins is not
particularly in love with the bill as re-
ported by his own committee.

TO ERECT new
FIRE HOUSE?
Rumored That One is to be
Built On Fayette
Street.
ALTERATIONS STOPPED

Rumor has 1t that new central
fire house is to be erected on the
city's property at the southwest cor
ner of New Brunswick avenue and
Fayette street, on the site now par
TALLY occupied by the city band
stand. Contractor Fred Christensen,
who started alteration work on the
Lincoln and Protection house In
State street on Friday, was ordered
to stop work by Alderman Calvin,
ON Saturday, he says. He was given
to understand that the reason was to
allow the aldermen time for consid-
Grafton of a proposition to erect a
new central house.
Mayor Bollschweiler has been ap-
prised of the scheme and he seems
in favor of it. An effort to see Al
derman Calvin, of the fire commit
tee, proved futile, as he is out of
town. Several firemen, members of
both the Lincoln Engine Company
and the Protection Hook e Ladder
Company, have learned from unoffi-
cial sources that new fire house is
being planned and that it will occu-
py the site of the present bandstand.
Contractor Christensen has the
contract for widening the doors of
the present central fire house in
State street, near Smith. He has
the new doors in readiness to be Iii
stalled and is now awaiting word
from the aldermen as to when he is
to finish.

Man had Marrow Escape at
Fire In Catherine Street
Yesterday.
FIREMEE WERE CALLED

Becoming alarmed at smoke which
filed the room in which he was
sleeping, foreign laborer boarding
at the home of Ignatz Menidish. at
714 Catherine street, jumped from
his bedroom window yesterday and
landed on the ground below, sustain
ing numerous scratches and bruises
No bones We're broken, but he was
badly shaken up.
The blaze was confined to the kit
chen of the house and damaged the
apartment to the extent of about
S100.
A kitchen range placed too near
the wall caused the blaze. There
was no zine or tin separating the wall
and the stove, and the latter becom-
ing overheated, ignited the paper on
the wall.
Menidish discovered the blaze and
turned in an alarm from box Sc at
Hall avenue and Charles street,
shortly before 10 o'clock. The COM
panies responded quickly and extin-
guished the blaze in about fifteen

WARM SESSION OF
COUNTY COMMITTEE
Republicans Endorse William H.
Pfeiffer for Collector of This Port
Chairman Named Committees.
STRONG ISSUES A STATEMENT

Peltier opposed such action, as there
were two other candidates in Perth
Amboy. DR.. Henry was one of
them.
Mr.. Strong declared no one was so
blind but he could see the purpose
OF this opposition. All said they
were for harmony but he did not
think they dared show their hand
He referred to the election at the
last meeting of vice-president
who could not do otherwise than
promote discord," and said his op-
ponents had contemplated bringing
up at this meeting a matter which
could not do otherwise than promote
discord. Former Assemblyman Will
liam Drake, he referred to as the
vice-president-elect
Mr.. Groves thought it improper
for Mr.. Strong to anticipate any
movement on is part and rose to a
point of order. In reply to a direct
question as to his position, Mr.
Groves said, II as for John Kean
Will Senator Strong say the same?"
Senator Strong said Yes
II am for any man John Kean says
and am not necessarily for Bob
Carson or any other man."
Vice-President William Drake
thought the committee should not
further the cause of any one man
IF thought, as has been inti-
mated" said Mr.. Drake, that / was
an injury to the republican party, ]
would get out of the committee"
Mr.. Drake declared he was not
for Mr.. Carson for collector, but still
opposed the resolution. Mr.. Strong's
statements and his article in the pa
pers had hurt. He had never sup
ported democrat but had always
been republican.
Bert Moore, of Perth Amboy,
moved that the resolution be amend
ed by striking out the second para
graph. Mr.. Strong said all who had
opposed the resolution were known
to be hostile to Mr.. Pfeiffer. "Are
we to be humbugged with show of
harmony after the last meeting
which almost resulted In fisticuffs?"
he asked. He again urged the adop-
ton of the resolution.
Mr.. Brown declared Strong did not
care snap of his finger for Mr..
pseiffer- hut simply wanted the ac-
tion taken for the purpose of re-
venge upon Carson. Mr.. Groves
asked Strong IL he had not asked
Oliver Ramsay to become candidate
nd asked Edward Hayes to circulate

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Feb. 7:-At the
meeting of the County Republican
Committee held at Association Hall
Saturday afternoon, resolution was
passed by vote of 35 to II, en-
dorsing William H. Pfeiffer for col
lector of the port of Perth Amboy, to
succeed Robert Carson. Eleven Of
the twelve members from Perth AM
boy were present and all supported
the resolution.
resolution offered by Former
County Collector II. Raymond
Groves providing for an investiga-
tion of the last election and the fix
Ing of the blame for the defeat of
the party was tabled by Strong's sup
porters, although Mr.. Strong second
ed the motion to adopt it.
The Pfeiffer resolution was to the
effect that the county committee
"endorse William H. Pfeiffer for col
lector of the port of Perth Amboy to
succeed the present incumbent. And
than the opinion of this committee
the appointment of Mr. Pfeiffer
would put an end to the division
which has of late years prevailed In
the republican party and resulted in
the disastrous defeat of last year.
And that copy of the resolution be
at once mailed to Hon. John Kean,
Hon. Frank o. Briggs and Hon. Ben
jamin F. Howell"
Mr.. Groves opposed the resolution
on the ground that it was not wise
or diplomatic for the committee to
adopt such a resolution as there
were three or four candidates in
Perth Amboy for the position. 1t
would be all right for the members
to sign it Individually but not en-
dorse it as a committee. He moved
that it be tabled.
Mr.. Strong said he had antici-
pated such move and believed it to
be for the best interests of harmony
to have it adopted. He did not be-
lieve there was man in this city or
Middlesex county who did not think
New Brunswick had already held
this position long enough in the past
eight or ten years, and it ought to
go to Perth Amboy. The man who
deserved 1t was William H. Pfeiffer
The latter is brother of the chair
man of the county committee.
D. A. Brown, of Woodbridge, ques-
toned whether 1t was customary Il
endorse a candidate for position o.
this kind. He favored an individual
petition but not endorsement by res
Olution. County Detective Richard
