WHITE WASH PUBLIC
UTILITY BILL is IN
Leaders Frame up
a Substitute
M Measure.
LITTLE POWER
Special by United Press Wire.

Special BY United Press Wire.
Trenton, Mar. 15:-The republican
leaders of the state who are opposed
to stringent regulation of public util-
ity corporations, have made their power
felt upon the law makers, have hand
ed out slap at Governor Fort. and
have had introduced in each House
weak public utilities commission bill
which Is programmed to take the place
of all the bills now in, and is to be
rushed through to final passage. The
new measure has no rate making pow
ers whatsoever and looks very much
like q "white wash' of the whole
proposition in an attempt to keep the
republican party pledges and, at the
same time, let the public utility corpor-
ations down easy.
Whether Governor Fort will sign such
a measure is question. After the bill
had been shown him today by the lead
ers of the two branches he refused to
discuss it further than to say that it
had some provisions, but he desired to
take it up with the attorney general
before commenting on it. He has re-
peatedly declared that the Republican
party should keep it's pledge of three
years ago and enact a public utilities
law.
The new bill, which is the outcome
of conference late last night, merely
extends the jurisdiction of the present
state railroad commission over all pub
lie utility corporations, such as trolley,
express, traction, canal, subway, gas,
electric light, heat and water, sewer,
telephone, telegraph and other corpor-
ations operating for public use.
The commission is to consist of the
present three members of the railroad
board, thus embodying the threat of
the state leaders that they would not
place in the hands of Governor Fort
the appointment of any more commits
sioners. The salary of the commission
ers is raised from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year and that Of Secretary Alfred N.
Barber, of this city, from $4,000 to
$4,000. The total expense of the COM
mission is limited to $4,000. Now it is
$4,000.
The only provision in the bill that
can be construed as anything like a
rate making clause is one that the
commission may direct any corpora
tion to cease any unreasonable dis
elimination" for rebates that have
been granted. The other special powers
given are to require adequate SER
vice, to require compliance with state
laws and to require ineligible and un-
derstandable book keeping and ac-
counts and uniform system of ac-
counting. The commission is also to
investigate accidents and to compel the
attendance of witnesses and the pro-
duction of books and papers.
Orders are to be enforced in the same
manner as now provided and the right
of appeal is to be given to corporations
already provided. The bill contains no
regulation whatever against stock wa
tering or bond issues.

HAS IMPROVED
INSLEE STREET
Commissioner Adair Com
pIeted Filling-ln Yester-
day--100 Loads of Ashes.l
SHERIDAN STREET ALSO

The leveling and filing in of Inslee
street was completed by Street Com
missioner George Adair and gang of
city employees yesterday. In such bad
condition was the thoroughfare that it
necessitated almost 100 loads of ashes
to fill it in. Inslee street today pre-
sents an entirely different appearance
from that of last week. Instead of the
mud and water which made the thor
oughfare impossible, ashes and cinders
form the pavement, and traffic has once
more been resumed.
Sheridan street from Market street
to the county bridge, has also been fill
ed. AS in the case of Inslee street,
ashes and cinders have been used, and
automobiles and wagons using that
highway are no longer compelled to
wallow in the mud The filling in is
only temporary, however, until the
tracks of the Jersey Central Traction
Company have been laid. The street
will then be paved. AS the traction
company proposes to place two tracks
on Sheridan street, the expense of paw
ing the street to the property owners
will be very small.
Gordon street, against which Mayor
Bollschweiler received a complaint, was
not touched. The mayor says that the
street is in perfect condition, consid-
ering that it is unpaved and he sees
no reason for complaint.

SATISFIED
AT PRESENT
Local Trolley Employees Deny
that They Are Thinking
of Striking.
NO MEETING WAS HELD

Local officials of the Public Ser
vice Corporation and trolley conduc-
tors and motormen this morning de-
MED emphatically that they had any
intention of striking. The car men
said that they were satisfied with
conditions here and were not going
to demand an increase in wages.
They also denied that any meeting
was held here last night to discuss
a proposed demand for an increase.
The following appeared in yester-
days New York Tribune relative TO
New Jersey trolleymen and probably
caused the rumor that the local men
were going to strike:
There was talk yesterday of a
strike by the motormen and conduc-
tors employed by the Public Service
Corporation in several towns in New
Jersey. 1t is said the corporation
has refused demands of the men for
twenty-five cents an hour and O
workday of ten hours.
1.-THE men have been recently or
ganized as a local of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and
Electric Railroad Employees, and the
demands anect 2,5OO men employed
on the street cars of Newark, Jersey

NIECE
WAS KIDNAPPED
Anton Markovitz Claims
Stranger Stole His Niece
--B0arded c. R. R. Train.
WAS II YEARS OLD.

Anton Markovitz, of 311 Fayette
street, reported to the police this af-
ternoon that stranger who came
here from Cumbola, Pa, and re-
manned at his house over night,
either kidnapped or ran away with
his seventeen years old niece this
morning. He says they took the
1905 o'clock Central train heading
north.
According to the report, the stran-
ger, who gave his name to MarkovitZ
as Stanley Swintliski, stopped at the
home of Markowitz last night and
requested lodging for the night. This
morning he announced his intention
of purchasing a pair of shoes, and
together with the seventeen year old
girl and Markovitz's daughter, de-
parted for Smith street. He then
proposed a trip to the Central rail-
road station, Markovitz's daughter
says, to find out what time the next
train for New York left. When the
train reached the station at 11:05,
he grabbed the girl by the arm and
hustled her into car, while the
Markovitz girl stood on the plat
form, unable to cry out
The alleged kidnapped girl has on
ly lived in this country since Janu-
ary /. Her name is Stanislawa Gra-
bowski.

RAMSAY BILL
IS ATTACKED
Effort Made in the Assembly
to Have the Vote Recon-
sidered.
ANNEX TO SOUTH AMBOY

Trenton, Mar. 15:-Middlesex coun-
ty was prominently before the legisla-
ture last night. Several bills were in
troduced affecting that county directly
and DR.. W. E. Ramsay's bill regulat-
ing the practice of osteopathy was
again brought up in an effort to have
the vote with which it passed the
House reconsidered. DIR. Ramsay in
sisted that the bill go to the Senate and
if any changes were to be made, let
them be made there. This was finally
done.
The tilt over the bill came when as
semblyman Goldingay, of Essex, NOV
ed to reconsider the vote by which the
measure was passed East week. DR.,
Ramsay, who fathered the measure, in
sisted that it go on to the senate de-
claring that if change was desired,
it could be made there He character
ICED the move to reconsider as a move
to gain additional favors for the os-
teopaths and this he declared was un-
fair, holding that osteopaths should
have no favors not conferred upon the
regular physicians.
Mr.. Pierce spoke for the reconsidera-
ton and Mr.. Nichols and others spoke
against it. DR.. Ramsay accused the
osteopaths of unfair methods in deal
ing with his bill, which is not alto
gether to their liking. The move to
reconsider was finally defeated by a
vote of 40 to II.
Assemblyman Radcliffe, of Passaic
county, introduced bill annexing a
part Of Sayreville township to the city
of South Amboy. This includes that
part of the township along Cheese
quake creek known as Morgan Heights.
There is some opposition to this and it
is understood that those interested in
the bill could not get Middlesex man
to introduce the measure
Assemblyman Radcliffe also intro
duced a bill which would prohibit the
use of fishing nets in Raritan and San
dy Hook bays excepting to catch shad,
from March Is to June 15 in each year.
Two bills were introduced by DR.. w.
e. Ramsay. One provides method
for admitting inebriates into the insane
hospitals of the state as private pa
tients, and the other provides for the
discharge from state insane hospitals
Of INDECENT nonresident patients who
are found having relatives living IN
another state.
In appointing the Board of Mana
gers for the Railway Reformatory,
Governor Fort sent the name of Will
liam Edgar, of Middlesex county, to
succeed r. Fl. Wilson The full board
is as follows: George w. Fortmeyer,
Essex county, reapopinted and Will
liam Edgar, Middlesex county; board
of trustees of State Home for Boys,

$1,000 FIREMEN AND
ENGINEERS WILL BE
CALLED ON STRIKE
Decision Was Reached at
Midnight Session of the
Committee.
WOULD TIE UP 49
WESTERN RAILROADS
special by united Press wire


Chicago, Mar. 15:-Unless the
general managers committee makes
some radical concession to the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen before o'clock the
hremen's committee will adjourn
sine die, and members will go to
their homes to arrange for an imme-
diate strike of 27,0C0 trainmen on
forty-nine western and southern rail-
roads.
This announcement was made Just
before noon today by President Car
ter. of the Brotherhood, following a
secret conference of the firemen' S
committee. Carter says his commit
tee has decided upon the exact day
and hour when the strike would be-
gin, but it will not be announced at
this time. He added that the be-
ginning of the strike was not more
than five days off.
The decision to call a strike was
reached at midnight by the general
federated board for western rail-
roads, after the receipt of a letter
from Chairman Nixon of the railway
managers committee, which f.
nally refused the mems demand. II
Is not believed that the strike will
go into effect until the end of the
week. Apparently the only hope oi
preventing the strike is federal in
reference. The railroad today will
ask Chairman Knapp, of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, and
Labor Commissioner Neill to at
tempt mediation under the Erdman
act.
The sudden action of the f1remer
apparently caused conservation in
the Offices of the railroad managers
o. L. Dickerson, spokesman of the
general managers committee, said
today: I'VE have received no ad.
vices from Mr.. Carter of the action
of his committee. The managers dc
not see how a strike can reasonably
be called In face of the offered arbi.
tration."-
Should the fremen carry out theil
determination to go out, 1t will pre-
cipitate a second big railroad strike
within six months. The switchmeI
of the Northwestern roads struck
last fall and are still out. 1t is esti
mated that strike has caused loss
of $10,000,00U.

WILL COMPLAIN
ABOUT COPPER
WORKS SMOKE
Is Expected to be Brought
Before Health Board
Tonight.
PLACARDlNG PETITION
TO BE PRESENTED
Assistants to Health Officer
to be Appointed --Naming
of Committees.

A number of important matters
are scheduled to come up at regu-
lar meeting of the Board of Health
at city hall tonight. A local labor
leader is expected to appear to make
complaint OF an alleged smoke nuis-
ance eminating from the Raritan
Copper Works. 1t is claimed that
smoke and refuse thrown off by the
stacks at the copper works settles
upon everything surrounding the
factory and often it spreads over the
entire southern portion of the city.
The health authorities will be con-
suited with view of recommending
that strainers or muff1ers be placed
on top of the stack to arrest the
stuff that is now allowed to litter
the city.
A petition favoring placarding for
contagious disease will be presented
to the board tonight. The petition
has been going about the city the
past few days and 1t has been liber-
ally signed. The petitioners do not
criticize the health commissioners.
but simply ask that the placard sys-
tenn be retained.
In speaking of this petition today,
one of those interested in It's circu-
lation said that while many things
have been said on both sides con-
cerning the wisdom and effectiveness
of placarding houses where are con-
tagious diseases, one matter should
not escape the public mind, and that
is the good service rendered by the
Board of Health.
These gentlemen serve the city
without pay" declared the speaker,
giving a good deal of their own
time to questions of public policy, in
order that the best interests of the
citizens may be conserved. 1t may

SWINDLER is
BELIEVED TO
Be IN TOWN
Police are Looking For Mid
die Aged Man Who Passes
Bogus Checks.
SEVERAL VlCTiMizEO
AT NEW BRUNSWICK
Left There Last Night For
This City--Is Clever
Talker.

The police, today, are on the look
out for a dapper middle-aged man,
neatly dressed and possessing a
suave manner, who, it is thought, Is
in this city attempting to pass worth
less checks. The swindler was in
New Brunswick yesterday and sue
ceeded in passing several of the
checks, getting out of town before
their invalidity was discovered.
He was last seen heading toward
Perth Amboy and the county seat
police notified Sergeant McDermott
of the mans departure. He left
there about 6 o'clock last night and
shortly afterward several complaints
were registered with the New Bruins
wick police.
The man is described as present
ing a good appearance, dressed in a
check suit, and wearing light over
coat and a black derby. He is about
forty-five years old, the New Bruins
wick police say, about five feet. four
inches in height and has a discolor-
ed eye, over which he may wear a
patch.
The swindler has a glib tongue
and when making purchase
amounting to some small amount for
which he tends a check, he talks
rapidly, distracting the attention Of
the shopkeeper. In this way he re-
ceives the change for the check,
varying in amount from five to ten
dollars, and makes his departure.
Some time after his leave the shop
keeper again thinks of the check
and. examining 1t, finds that it is a
forgery. 1t is too late to recover his
money, however, and he has to be
content in reporting the matter to
the police. Several New Brunswick
merchants lost money in this way
yesterday.

without giving her crew of thirty
two men time even to lower q boat
The condition of the lifeboat from

This has been shown by careful
