NO CONFERENCE
ON PLANK ROAD
As WAS PLANNED
Public Service Officials Wait in
Vain sor Essex and Hud-
son Committee.

None of the members of the joint
bridge committee of the Essex and
Hudson counties Boards of Freehold
ers appeared as planned at the con-
ference with the Public Service Cor
poration officials today The question
of the removal of the trolley tracks on
the Plank road from sides to the centre
of roadway was to have been dis
cussed
County Engineers James Owen and
James Griffen, of Essex and Hudson
counties, respectively, were present,
but as they had no power to act they
withdrew, refusing to discuss the ques-
ton.
The Public Service was represented
by President Thomas n. McCarter,
First Vice-President George J. Roberts,
Colonel Edwin S. Hine, General Man
ager Frank Bergen, general counsel,
and William ID. Edwards, counsel for
the corporation in Jersey City. 1t was
announced by the Public Service Cor
poration officers that a statement will
be prepared. as to what they will do IN
the matter. and this will be submitted
to the Board of Freeholders of. each
county.
Franchise Is Safe.
The relocation of the tracks will not
affect the validity of the corporations
franchise, as a law was enacted at tie
last Legislature which provides for the
preservation of such franchises where
tracks are changed from the sides to
the centre Of the roadways or vice
versa.
Mr.. Owen condemned the idea of
having q wood pavement alongside of
the trolley tracks and a granite pave
ment on the other, because it would
cause a congestion of vehicles where
they would have to cross near the
bridges, which are not wide enough TO
permit of a double roadway.
Mr.. owen said that the only feasible
plan for using the two kinds of mate
rial would be a wood and granite pave
ment of equal width on either side of
the tracks.
No action was taken on the sugges-
tion, although 1t was considered a good
thing If the two kinds of pavement are
to be used. 1t had been intended at the
conference to take up the question of
the bridges used by the Public Service
Corporation in Bayonne, and Bridge
street and Clay street bridges in this
city.
Bayonne Case In Court.
The Bayonne bridge trouble Is now
in the courts and both sides are await
ing the disposition of that case before
taking any further action in regard to
the two other bridges.
There was a meeting of the joint
bridge committee of the two counties
in Jersey City yesterday, when the
question of the kind of pavement to
be used on the Plank road, which is
almost ready to be paved, was dis
cussed. A resolution was offered by
Engineer Griffen, of Hudson county,
to the effect that the north side of the
roadway be paved with wood and the
south side with granite, except that
part used by the trolley tracks, and
that the committees action be report
ed to the respective boards.
1t is said that while the resolution
appeared to meet with the approval
of those present, at the suggestion OF
Director Charles Schmitt, of Hudson
county, 1t was decided that the pave
ment question be submitted to the two
boards for settlement.

The mealy bugs do thousands of dol

Now, the ants are fond of sugar, but
they are helpless to get at the sap

GARDENER CHOKED
FOR SEVEN HOURS
Frank Rosa of East San Jose
Accuses Two Partners of
InfIicting Torture
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SAN JOSE, Nov. I'm the outskirts
Of the town Of East San Jose and
within stones throw of several
homes. Frank Rosa, a gardener, was
seized and bound at 9 o'clock last
night and for seven hours submitted 10
most aendish tortures. At 4 o'clock
this morning his story was told to
Jailer Howard Burlington. The tale
came hoarsely from a throat that had
been choked and squeezed by rope
for seven hours. In addition to this
injury the man was suffering from
many bruises on the face and three
knife wounds in the breast.
Rosa is a lessee of a portion of the
ranch of Mrs. A B. Bacharach on the
King road About three months ago
he entered into a partnership with
Frank Deluvis and Fred Tex, who ar
rived here recently from Louisiana.
Rosa had considerable money and paid
the rent for all three. Last evening
a dispute was started in regard to
financial matters and peace was not
established.
Rosa says that he went TO bed about
o'clock and was dropping off to sleep
when Tex and Deluvis pounced on him
and shut off his shouts for assistance
by Tightening rope around his neck.
They amused themselves by torment
ing him. he says. until after 3 o'clock
this morning. They added variety to
his torture, he asserts, by striking him
in the face with their fists and then
slowly showing a knife into his breast
Before daylight, he said. they threat
ened TO kill him If he made an outcry
or attempted to summon assistance.
Then they left him and loaded his
wagon with produce and started to sell
It in San Jose. AS soon as his tor
mentors were gone Rosa crept into the
home Of Mrs. Bacharach and told his
story. Mrs. Bacharach summoned
Jailer Burlington. He located Tex and
Deluvis in Market street, attempting TO
sell the produce. They were locked up
separately in the county jail and told
conflicting stories.
