EXPRESS STRIKE
Continued from First Page,

tant accession to the strikers ranks
when $50 drivers of one of the big coal
companies struck. This was looked
upon as possibly initiating a general
walkout of the coal drivers in sympa-
thy with the strikers, which has been
threatened.
Later in the day the whole bus
forces of the Fifth Avenue Company,
both conductors and chauffeurs, to the
number of 200, had gone on strike.
Expect Complete Tie-Up.
John Dawson and Michael Casual,
representing the coal drivers union,
vera the authority for an assertion
that by night all the coal drivers of
the greater city, numbering probably
1880, will have gone out.
Secretary Charles w. Forster, of the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters, announced today that 1,200 union
chauffeurs had returned to work. All
of the smaller companies, employing
fifty men or less, have signed the union
agreement with the exception of n

are still on strike.
The drivers license question seemed

license bureau of the mayors office is

National Express Company, and it was
announced that this afternoon fifty
drivers for that company would be ex-
amined. The American Express Com
pany applied for licenses for $50 wagons

It was found that Polk, the man
struck by a bullet in one of the morn

injured. No other serious disorders
were reported up to early afternoon.

BOARD OF TRADE
HEARS PLAN FOR
NEW H0STElRY
Effort Will Be Made TO Inter-
est Citizens in Hotel
Project.

The outline of a proposition to in
corporate a company of public-spiriteo
Newarkers to the end that Newark
may ave a hotel worthy of the i'm
portance and size of the city, n cost
ing a million dollars if possible, was
presented to the Board of Trade at the
meeting last night by Louis V. Aron-
son.
Mr.. Aronson, speaking on the theory
that money talks and that the time
has come when agitation should give
way to action, declared he is willing
and to participate IN forming
the company and providing funds to
carry on the work.
Mr.. Aronson said:
Need for Hotel Painted.
"Working on the principle of DO il
for Newark I have previously made
the proposition to cooperate with any
given number of my fellow citizens for
the erection of a hotel which will be a
credit to our city. l want to see this
thing done, n done soon. 1t has been
discussed for years, and all 1t requires
at this time is not more discussion, but
action.
Il stand ready now to begin work in
a practical ~way-that is, to put down
my share toward the accomplishment
OF this m~uch-desired object. Money is
the thing which will talk most forcibly
at this time, and L am prepared to join
other Newarkers in organizing a COM
pany which will build thi hotel.
THE ways n means by which this
may be done are several, and may ad-
NIT of some discussion, but to show
that we mean business let us first
guarantee sufficient money to en-
courage others to follow our example.
Let us pledge, each a certain sum;
after that the rest will be easy. I
have gone over the subject thorough
ly and am assured that we have the
sentiment of Newark back of us and
that sentiment will be followed by
money if we show that we are in
earnest. AS the representative bust
ness men of our city it is our duty to
take the initiative. Therefore, 1 say,
let us begin by making pledges of a
substantial kind to stimulate our fell
low-citizens to follow our example.
THAT a first-class hotel in our city
will prove a paying investment is gen.
orally admitted by those who have
looked into the matter. 1 am not
dwelling upon the civic pride that
should be the chief idea, but am ON
f1ning myself entirely to it from a bust
ness point of view. The sum neces-
sary to go about doing the work pro-
perly is variously estimated. One mil
loon dollars will assure us a hotel that
will be a credit to our city. Some are
inclined to believe that half of that
sum will be sufficient. That is a de-
tail for later consideration. The thing
to do now is to start and obtain pledges
to insure at least half a million dollars
for the project. L know hat the money
is to be had here for the enterprise:
whether we will get 1t, and get it now,
depends upon the way we go about
our work.

MECHANIC STREET TO
BE GREATLY IMPROVED.
Board of Works Considers Plan
for Widening ThOrOughfare.

There was favorable comment at the
Board of Works meeting this afternoon
upon the plans submitted by Chief
Engineer Sherrerd for the widening of
Mechanic street. The cost would be
about $3.50, 900, and a conference be-
tween the Board of Works and the
finance committee of Common Council
will be held next week to devise ways
and a of carrying out the project
ed Improvement.
According to the plans the improved
street would be sixty feet wide as far
west as the Globe building. From curb
to curb the street would be forty-two
feet wide, with sidewalks nine feet
wide. There is a possibility that it
would be possible to make the street
conform to this dimensions even as far
as Broad street.

WIFE, HER OWN
SLEUTH OBTAINS
DIVORCE PROOFS
Husband, Though Present in
Court, Makes No Defense
to Allegations.

AS DR.. Harold G. Davis, a dentist
of 10 Prince street, Paterson, put in
no defense when the action for divorce
brought against him by Mrs. Edna
Davis, his wife, now living with her
mother in SIS Bergen street, was be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Emery today, she
will be released from her matrimonial
yoke as soon as one other Formally
has been complied with. sThat is the
question of residence between the time
she left her husband in Paterson, after
she had learned of his intimacy with
BAnchc Armstrong, the correspondent,
and when her petition was filed. Her
counsel, Assemblyman-elect Frank A.
Boettner. will present the necessary
evidence IN this point nex Tuesday
morning.
Before the couple, who have no chill
dren. settled in Paterson they lived for
short periods in Jersey City, Hoboken
and Philadelphia.
Story Corroborated.
After Mrs. Davis had told about her
marriage and her husbands inf1delity
she was corroborated by Mrs. Lydia
Bell, who has a furnished-room house
in Paterson, where the dentist lived for
a time with his paramour, and by Mrs.
Mary E. Van Buskirk, also of the Silk
City.
Was that the woman whom he in
troduced as his wife?" the court asked
Mrs. Bell, pointing to Mrs. Davis. who
is a pronounced brunette.
mo, sir" came from Mrs. Bell sharp
ly; "she vas a blonde"
On the other hand, the dentist, who
was present but was not represented
by counsel, was identified as the right
man in the case by the wife and her
two witnesses.
The defendant claims that he Is out

ELECTION BETS, FROM HATS
TO DOLLARS, BEING PAID.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Cashing in
election bets continues today, and one
Tammany election captain hired an ex-
press wagon-a union express wagon
to do it. When he had made the rounds
he had a full ton of new hats and
boxes of cigars.
1t is estimated that s $1,000, 900 changed
hands on the result. One curb broker
is said to nave handled s350,000 Fred
Brooks, the old-time betting commits
sioner, says he placed $250,0OO. Another
broker made $4,000 in commissions and
$50. 900 in backing his own Judgment.

scrambled up, and Olivia unlocked a
couple of punches that the councilman
will remember.
Goldstein hoped around trying to
get a belt at the councilman, and so
interested was he that he failed to no
tice the approach of Patrolmen Nc
Carney, Mccormick and Gebhardt. He
fell an easy prey, but Olivia wriggled
of Wren's clutch and started down
the street, shedding feathers and mil
linery trimmings as he sprinted. For
two squares he led the procession, but
was finally cornered and captured.

LEGISLATURE TO
FIX NEW DISTRICTS
FOR CONGRESSMAN
New Jerseys Growth in POpu-
lation Means Increased Rep
resentatiOn in Lower House.

TRENTON, Nov. founder the re-
apportionment of representatives in
Congress to be made on a basis of this
years Federal census, New Jersey,
having increased its population, will
without doubt secure an increased num-
Der of congressman. This will require
the redistricting Of the State. The task
of dividing the State into districts for
the election of the increased congress
sional delegation will be one of the
most important tasks to come before
the next Legislature, the body elected
Tuesday. At present the State has ten
representatives.
The establishment of the new dis
tricts must be made by an act of the
Legislature. This means that the dis
tricting plan must be approved by a
majority of the Assembly. a majority
of the Senate and by the Governor. The
matter will come up as soon as the
result of the census is promulgated Of
ficially by the Federal authorities
The Last Redistricting.
The latest redistricting of the State
was in 1901, following the census of
1900. Foster NJ. Voorhees, was governor
then, and both houses of the Legisla-
ture were controlled by the Repub-
licans. The districts were so arranged
that the Republicans were reasonably
certain to have the normal majority in
the greater number of them.
This year there is a Democratic AS
sembly, but a Republican Senate, and
the only districting plan that will be
likely to get through is one that will
strike a balance that both sides can
approve. The probabilities of a gerry
mander by either side are correspond
ingly reduced.
