COMBINE TO HALT
REGULARS IN CIVIL
SERVICE CLASH
Republican Majority Members
Not All in Favor of Gust
ing Democrats.

Republican Aldermen will hold a con
ference-not a the City Hall
Thursday night, to discuss civil service
The patronage question is, of course,
the vital issue to them. The Court OF
Errors and Appeals decree setting aside
the section of the civil service law un-
der which it was adopted In Newark
will be filed at Trenton tomorrow. and
the Republican majority in the Common
Council is losing no time in considering
patronage. Indications are that every
Republican will attend the conference,
which, of course. will be an informal
and non-committal affair.
Thequestion of taking ad~vantageof the
setting aside Of the matter of adoption of
the State civil servicelaw in Newark and
of d~isolacins Democrats with Repub-
licans in some city offices is a trouble
some one 10 the uncertain aldermanic
majority. The patronage problem, be-
cause of the aforesaid uncertainty,
therefore promises to be a very inter-
esting one IN the Council. The Court
of Errors and Appeals In its recent de-
cision. declared that the civil service
law was good law. So far as 1t applied
to counties and municipalities 1t is also
good law, providing the proper mode of
adoption by those counties and munich
Dalities was invoked. And the courts
ruling was that the proper method was
by referendum.
The Democrats are now arranging to
submit the question to the voters at the
next election, and there is no appre-
hension but that the law will be up
held by the voters.
Because of the popularity of the law
the nineteen Republicans in the Coun-
ell are not solid for the suggested city
house-cleaning. There are seven of the
nineteen Republicans who are opposed
TO clearing Democrats out Of the City
Hall. Democrats in many instances
are holding important positions, n
the displacement of these experienced
men by incompetents would be disas-
trous to the city.
Naturally the thirteen Democratic
Aldermen will oppose the proposed
plan, and they, with the calm and
clear-headed Republicans, make enough
to block the political scheme of the
majority. In the words of a Republi-
can member. I'VE have a majority that
don't rule"
The Republican organization had a
very recent exhibition of that when
organization man was elected by the
Common Council TO fill a freeholder va
cancy in the Sixteenth Ward.

MAURITANIA WIRELESS
MENTIONS NO ACCIDENT

LONDON, Feb. 22-The Cunard Line

steamer Mauretania, vague rumors OF
which emanated from Berlin last night
Browhead was in wireless communities
ton with the vessel late yesterday aft
ernoon, when the captain reported thai
the weather was moderating and al
was well.
Owing to the severe weather the
Mauretania was six hours late in sail
ing from Queenstown Sunday for New
York, and later was unable to drop her
local pilot. This probably gave rise to
the rumor of an accident which was
published in a portion of the press OF

JEFFRIES SPURTS
IN SPITE OF HEAT
COffrOth PrOnOunceS Fighter in
Better Shape Than He Was
Ten Years Ago

. BEN LOMOND, May 29.-Although
boxing was not on the program today
at the Jeffries training camp the gym
nasium was packed when the former
champion started to go through his
PAGES. 1t was the largest and one Of
the most enthusiastic crowds that has
visited the camp since training began.
Despite the extreme heat Of the day
Jeffries shirked none Of the arduous
gymnasium tasks. He worked hard
for an hour and a quarter and retired
TO his dressing room dripping.
Among the sporting men in the
crowd was jim Cofroth. the San Fran
cisco fight promoter. Coffroth had not
seen Jefries in action since he watched
him box in New York last December
and he expressed himself as surprised
at the fighters physical shape.
Il did not think that Jeffries ever
could get down so fine in weight" said
Conroth. He looks to me to be in
just about the same condition as he
in Harbin springs. I have never seen
Jeffries look quite as husky and
healthy and 1 have watched him closely
in many a fight. I am of the opinion
that he is a better man today than he
was 10 years ago."
Manager Sam Berger came down from
San Francisco in Jeffries' new auto
mobile. The machine viii be used on
frequent runs TO Santa Cruz for hot
baths. Jim Corbett is expected to join
the camp squad tomorrow morning.

boxing and medicine ball tossing, big
Jack was ready to go a few rounds
with the gloves. The first man he as
sailed was Kid Cotton and the Kid was
forced to travel an extra distance. In
stead of three or four rounds, it was
five yesterday and there was action
and hitting and blocking galore while
it lasted
SKILL SEEMS TO INCREASE
Johnson showed his usual improve
ment yesterday. II is a noticeable fact
that his speed and his skill increase
with every day he works. He was
even better yesterday that he was on
Saturday and then they all thought
that he had about reached the stage
of perfection. He devoted most of his
time to roughing it and working
around in the clinches while Cotton
was in the ring with him. Johnson's
grips in the clinches were simply i'm
possible to break. Usually he held
with his left and uppercut with his
right.
The three rounds with Cutler were
more open and consequently there was
more action. Cutler waded in with
long right swing in the second round
and it landed on the black champs
neck. As if aroused by the sting of
a corner and they mixed 1T with rights
and lefts. Cutler took a few nasty
jolts on the jaw and ii looked as though
he would fall, but he weathered the
storm and incidentally he shot in
couple to the jaw of the big fellow.
This started the crowd cheering.
Johnsons new six cylinder Thomas
racing car was delivered to him early
in the morning and of course he forgot
all about the $101.00 purse and JEFF
fries and Rickard and Gleason and the
rest of them He managed to get a
speed of about IS miles an hour out of
the machine, yet he was disappointed
because it did not show him 100. How
ever, he's still hopeful and maybe the
100 mile clip will be attained before
sundown tonight.

he made ready TO do his boxing. Now.
how can ! get a line on him when
hear such reports as these? Sure. I was
not there. Honest and true, ] did not
even think about Jefries or his show.
Well, / just hope that Jefries is as
good as they say he is. I want to beat
him at his best. so that there will be
no kicks or no complaints. 1 am not
looking for the best Of it. AS champion
OF the world, I am defending my title
against the one man who, they think,
can take # away from me. I only
hope that Jeffries is just as fast and
just as strong and just as hard a hitter
as he was six years ago. Leave the
rest TO me-"
The champion was about an hour late
in appearing in the ring and the over
crowded house was impatient and on
edge. Notwithstanding the terrific
heat everybody stayed on the job and
waited for the big fellow TO appear.
A few Of the more impatient ones made
a lot of noise about it. but they were
soon quieted when preliminary bout
was announced.

ACCIDENTS IN FACTORIES
STRIKE LIKE LIGHTNING
Some Men Escape Danger Al
most MiracuIouSIy

One is impressed with the capricious-
ness Of fate when confronted with the
peculiar ways in which work accidents
occur. An engineer had started home
one evening at the end Of the turn, but
stopped for moment to explain to the
night man why he had been five minutes
late in going on duty that morning; in
doing so he placed his elbow on the end
OF the engine cylinder. and just at that
moment the connecting rod broke and
: the cylinder head was knocked out, in
curing him fatally.
:" Ia September, 1909, there were three
isolated fatal accidents in one of the
-Pittsburg mills. while there was none in
al Of the other thirty odd plants of the
American steel and wire company; in
the succeeding month two men met IA
tai injury IN one OF the Cleveland mills,
while. as. before, these We're the only
fatalities for the entire company.
On the other hand, there are quite
es striking instances where what might
have been serious catastrophes have
passed off harmlessly. In one of our
plants there is a group Of machines in a
building adjacent to the boiler plant;
couple Of years ago the main belt fur
nishing power 10 these machines broke
about midnight, and it was decided that
it was useless to try to repair the belt
that night, so the men were sent home.
little later a high wind which was
blowing tore down the boiler stacks
and they fell over the building in which
these men had been employed short
time before, parts of the wall were
knocked down and section Of the roof
fell in.
The next morning the heavy beams
and timbers which were lying over
these machines indicated what might
have resulted il that main belt had not
snapped and the men had remained at
work. Notwithstanding the fact that
two buildings were wrecked and a
Is inch steam main was broken in the
boiler plant, no one was injured.-Da-
