all that region will benefit not only
by the direct saving on goods carried

Indirect Saving Large.

lHotTccr saving Large.
There IS. however, no possible way
OF finding out just how much this in
direct saving would be. Rates on some
freight would be reduced greatly, on
some freight slightly, on some, per-
haps, not at all. But we can get some
idea OF the amount of freight which
might be influenced In the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1907, the total
amount of freight handled by the
railroads of the United States was
/, 796,336,659 tons. Some of this was
hauled short distance, some long
distance, and some was handled by
more than one road, but it was equal
to 236,e01, 390,1o3 tons hauled one
mile. If the comprehensive improve
ment Of our waterways should make
an average reduction OF one mill per
-mile-the difference In the rates
on salt given above Is 10 times az
much, or seven cents per ton mile-it
would make saving of over 1896, $780,
900 on the value Of business handled
In the fiscal year.
At first glance, 1t looks as If that
would mean disaster to the railways
but that is the exact opposite of the
truth Strange as It may seem, the
surest and speediest way to enlarge
the business and increase the profits
OF the railways of the United States
is to improve the waterways of the
United States

CONVENTION
ON SEPT. 20

Newark, N. j., Aug 4.-The Repub
lican state committee has selected TIL
Taylor Opera House, Trenton, as the
place and Sept. 20, at noon, as the time
for the convention for the nomina
of a candidate for governor
Falling in line with the action taken
by various organizations OF automobile
owners and dealers In New Jersey, the
committee accepted a resolution call.
ing for reciprocal state legislation
whereby the interests of these organ.
tzations and their members may be
safeguarded. The resolution has
special reference to the Frelinghuysen
automobile law passed by the last
legislature, and to the retallatory
measures adopted by New York and
Massachusetts, making the occasional
visits of Jersey motorists to those
states a rather expensive luxury.
Politicians say 1t Is a foregone con
clusion that the action of the commit
tee will put a damper on the governor
ship aspirations OF Senator Joseph S.
Frelnghuysen Of Somerset county,
author of the law which has given rise
to so much protest.
The basis of representation agreed
upon for the delegates to the cOnven-
ton is one delegate for each 200 votes
cast for the Republican candidate for
governor IN 1907, with certain pro-
visos covering districts IN which there
were fewer than 200 votes cast. There
will be a total of 973 delegates from
1857 districts.
The fact that members Of the com.
mittee are in the race for governor
and for United States senator tended
somewhat to embarrass discussion re
garding the available men for these
two offices. There was some animated
informal talk among the committee
men both before and after the meet
ing. with vigorous electioneering for
certain candidates.

DECLARE THAT
RUNY0N COAL
is INFERIOR

A communication from Joseph
Cottrell, the chief engineer at the
Runyon water works, stating that
the coal furnished by c. M. Petersen
& Company is OF an inferior quail
ity, was received and read at meet
ing of the Board of Water Commits
sioners last night. The clerk was
instructed to notify the dealers of
this fact and inform them that no
more OF the present grade will be
accepted. The engineer in his noti-
tication to the board also stated that
considerable more coal is used as a
result and that 1t leaves about a
forty per cent. ash.
A set Of CRATE bars for one of the
new boilers to be installed at Run
yon, was ordered from Patrick
White & Sons last night Accord
ing to the recommendation from the
engineer, two sets will be required
The other will probably be ordered
at the next meeting.
A petition from property owners
in West Side avenue for water
main was referred to the committee
on pipe.
1t was reported that City Engineer
Mason is drawing plans and specifi-
cations for crane to be installed at
Runyon.
A representative of chimney
constructing concern, which receives
its material from Sayre & Fisher,
appeared before the commissioners
last night and volunteered informa-
tion regarding the Improvements
under way at the Runyon water
works. He was asked for advice on
the subject OF erecting a new chin
ney and for connecting the new
boilers with the present chimney.
For economy in coal, he advised the
erection of a new chimney that
would furnish sufficient draught to
burn the fuel up entirely. The COM
missioners will confer with Engi-
neer Mason on the subject and def
mite action win be taken at the next
meeting.

RAILROADS TO SPEND MILLION
FOR WORK AT PORT READING
Central and Phi|ade| phia & Reading
Start Building Large Wood Creo~
soting Two New Docks
SHIPPING CENTER FOR TIES

Work has been started at Port Read
ing for the construction Of an immense
wood creosoting plant for the Central
Railroad of New Jersey and the Phila-
delphia & Reading Railroad. Docks
and other structures to be used in con-
junction with the plant will be erected,
making improvements which the rail
road officials believe will come near ag-
gregating 100000. The completion
of the work will tend to make Port
Reading one of the busiest spots in the
shipping industry within the limits Of
the Port Of Perth Amboy. Large ship
ments of lumber will be made to the
plant and from there it will be distrib-
uted along all points of the two big
railroads, in the form of preserved
railroad ties and other woodwork for
railroad, bridge and trestle construc
ton.
The plant will be erected on the land
northwest of the Philadelphia & Read
ing tracks, lying between the tracks
and the Italian shanties, and extending
from the borough line to the shore of
Staten Island Sound. The work of lev
cling and grading the property was
started Tuesday. Rundle 3 Paxison,
of Reading, Pa, have the excavating
contract and they have large force
of men at work preparing for the erec-
tion of the big factory.
Two docks, each 900 feet long, will
be erected northwest of the tracks, ex-
tending from the sound parallel with
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1910-08-04

the tracks. These will be used for the
receiving of lumber and oils for work
In the wood preserving plant. The
docks will be the largest Of their kind
in this part of the country and when
completed, they will be kept in con-
stant use receiving the shipments Of
lumber that is to be converted into
railroad ties and other shapes of wood
for railroad construction work.
Just what kind of a plant will be
erected for the cutting and treatment
of the lumber has as yet not been fully
determined. The idea of creosoting
their own ties has been under contem-
plation by the G. R. R. and P and R.
companies for sometime and the plans
for the proposed factory have been
changed many times.
The plant viii be large one and
large force of men will be employed.
All wood preserving work of the two
railroads will be done there Hereto
fore the work has been done in Long
Island City, but only on small scale.
A sewer extending from the Bor-
ough Of Roosevelt that runs over the
land of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad company at point where the
new plant will be constructed will have
to be removed. The Roosevelt Bor-
ough Council will meet at borough hall
at 1880 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon
preparatory to viewing the land with
the borough engineer and engineers of
the railroad company.

happened just after the start of the
first parade. and although many
visitors We're wet by it, they stayed
for the baby parade and the other
later attractions.
The visitors began arriving early
In the morning and by noon 1t was
a fight to get ou$one of the incom-
ing trolley cars which were COM
pletely covered with passengers by
the time they reached here. The
Jersey Central Traction Company
had every car they have, in use, but
still many had to wait.
The program as published In yes

unfortunate feature was that owing

to remain out in the rain, as every
available place of shelter was occu-
pied.
Governor Fort Speaks.
Governor Fort and his staff ar
rived shortly after O'Clock, and he
delivered lengthy speech from the
grandstand at the corner of Broad

street was blocked by the crowd and
no trolleys could pass through,
which caused more delay. The gov

the start and at intervals through
his speech.
The First Parade.

o'clock and was the best Of it's kind

Dew Goes To Niagara.
Special BY United Press Wne.


Quebec, Aug. 4:-Before leaving
for Niagara Falls on a sightseeing
trip, Inspector Dew. today, stated
that he is not seeking confession
from DR.. Crippen, and Is not anxious
to secure one. The opinion here,
however, Is that Dew would not
leave his prisoner at this time un-
less he had got satisfactory state
ment from him.
English law is strict on the sub
ject of confession An officer re-
vealing the fact of a confession
might be prosecuted, which is be-
lieved to be the reason for Dew's
change of front since yesterday,
when he allowed the inference to be
sent out that Crippen had made a
full confession to him.
