Bold Attempted Burglary At
Edwards Residence

A bold attempt was made by a
burglar to enter the home of Mr..
George Edwards Monday morning.
Mr.. Edwards, who resides at 107 N.
Norton street was awakened ABOUT 1
o'clock by some noise which he was
at first unable to locate on account
for. He listened intently for few
minutes and then heard slight
stairs windows. Silently getting out
of bed, he made his way to point
where he could obtain good view
of the intruder. In some manner,
the man was alarmed before any ef-
fort could be made TO capture him.
Mr.. Edwards Immediately notified an
officer who arrived too late to locate
the would-be robber.
In a short time, the little adven-
ture was forgotten and Mr.. Edwards
had returned TO bed and was just
beginning to doze, when he again
heard the same scraping noise. This
time the burglar was great deaf
more careful in his work.
This second visit occur ed at
about 2 o'clock, just one hour after
the first alarm had been raised and
the police had been called. The sec
ond time the burglar was even bold
er than the first time and succeeded
in raising the window part way when
discovered by Mr.. Edwards from M
upper window. Upon seeing Mr.. Ed.
wards looking out of the window the
burglar started to run and mace
good his escape.
This Is the boldest attempted rob
berry that has been pulled off In the
city for some time.

In Names Over Telephone
Caused Judge Mansfield
To Go To Mt. GiIGad Instead
Of Coming Here
To Hold A Session Of Com.
mon Pleas Court

AS a result of misunderstanding
in names over the telephone there
was no session of common pieas
court held in this city Saturday af-
ternoon as arranged. Judge Sew
ard, who was to have been in the
city Saturday, was unable to leave
his duties in Newark and called
Judge Mansfield of Mansfield over
the telephone and directed him to
come to Nc. Vernon Saturday after
noon. Judge Mansfield understood
Judge Seward to say Mt. Glead and
accordingly the former judge went
to that place Saturday afternoon in
stead of coming to Mt. Vernon.
Since the misunderstanding OF
names occurred it was decided to
hold session of court In this city
on Wednesday afternoon of this week
and Judge Mansfield will be in the
city at that time. The divorce case
of Bell vs.. Bell will come up for
hearing.

MARTIN URGES A
SPECIAL SESSION
TO HALT RAILROADS
Progressives' Gubernat0rial Can.
didate Flags Republican Party
as He Opens Campaign.

IF Vivian M. Lewis, regular Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, really
believes that last years Legislature
was not owned by the corporations,
let him ask Governor Fort with me to
call a special session of the Legisla-
ture to enact such a law as will give
the Public Utilities Commission rate
making power"
Progressive Republicans of the Sew
enth ward cheered their gubernatorial
candidate, William Parmenter Martin,
last night as he spoke. The former as
semblyman scored the 1910 Legislature
for it's inadequate legislation, especial
ly in regard to public utilities. The
speaker made a strong plea for the
Governor to call a special session of
the Legislature to take proper action
against the railroads of the State for
increasing their Communication rates.
The meeting was held in the hall cor
ner of Summit and Academy streets.
and the Progressives organized a new
ward club.
Mr.. Martin, among. other things,
said:
1.-THE question we will have to answer
next fall is. does the country control
business or does business control the
country? When I say business l mean
the corporations that are using the con-
cessions given them for their benefit
only. We may be Progressives or Reg
ulars. but we are all Republicans.
seThere il n feeling in Republican
ranks now which threatens to run over
to the Democrats and elect the Demo-
cratic candidates"
Speaking Of his public utilities bill OF
1908, which the Senate refused to pass,
Mr.. Martin declared that the rea-
son the bill was not passed was
ebecnuse the state senate was rom
troIIed by corporate interests" F.
Colby Pleads for Clean Politics.
Former State Senator Colby also
made reference to the increases In rail
road rates, and asked his hearers how
they could account for 1t hat no public
utilities law was passed in 1908, when II
was introduced by Progressive mem
bers of the Assembly, although all the
people of the State were behind thai
proposition. With Mr.. Martin, he urged
clean politics without the use of money
during campaigns.
George l.. Record, of Jersey City, wnc
is much talked of as the Progressive s
choice for United States senator, spoke
on the high cost of living and advanced
some reasons for it.
Referring to the increased railroad
rates, Mr.. Record said that the public
has certain rights in all public service
and has a right to participate in the
fixing Of fair and reasonable charges.
Frank A. Fetridge. an Assembly can
dfdate, also spoke. The temporary OIL
GERS elected were: Alexander r. Cashin
chairman; James A.. Farrell. secretary
and Frank A. Fetridge, treasurer.

Vice-Chancellor Emery today, when
former Judge Thomas S. Henry asked
for the appointment of a receiver n
the dissolution of the partnership be-

fixing July - as the time for the hear

The suit Is brought in regard to GER

ng as to my position, 1 declare:

ing as to my position, / declare:
1. That under the law as it now exists
these companies are limited to rates
which will afford them merely a fair
return upon the value of the property
devoted to the use of the public, plus
something for the hazard of the enter
prise, if any, and depreciation.
2. That there is now no adequate nor
efficient remedy or means to compel
compliance with the rule so limiting
their rates; and that the proposition
sometimes advanced that a remedy is
open to the individual through recourse
to the courts Is farcical and absurd in
the extreme, in view of the great delay
and vast expenditure incident to such
procedure and the want of power in the
courts to fix rates for the future, limited
as they are to declaring a specific rate
unreasonable.
5. That the legislation we proposed
and will again propose means simply
the providing an effective and ready
means to compel these companies to
observe existing laws. and the assum-
ing by the State of the duty that It
owes it's people of protecting them
against the greed of its man-made-men
its public utility corporations.
4. That had the Regular Republic
cans in the Legislature been true to
the party's pledge we would not now
be witnessing the sorry spectacle Of
the people Of our State practically
helpless before the attacks of the pub
lie utility corporations.
3. That had the Regular Republic
| cans" in the Legislature kept the
party's promise we would now observe.
as the people of New York have OBJ"
served, a public utility commission with
rate-making power. taking up an IN
vestigation in the peoples behalf and
countering the attack of these COM
panies.
l trust that you will meet this re-
quest frankly and not cloud the Issue
by declaring as have some other Regu-
lar Republicans that the general In
crease in rates is in those covering
Interstate transportation only, but, be-
fore making any statement. will in
quire at Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken
and your home town, Paterson, n
learn the fact that the rates affected
are not only Interstate but local as
we'll, affecting a great number Of citi-
zens who travel to some of those points
and use the McAdoo tunnel to New
York.
This brings me to my sixth PROPOSE
ton, which is that over these local
rates the Federal government has no
control and that the power with re-
spect to them is in the State.
1 suggest that you make our posi-
ton regarding these principles equally
clear.
If you conclude to join in the en-
closed letter to the Governor. which
have signed, kindly sign and forward
1t to him within the mex day or two.
and if you conclude not to join, kindly
forward 1t without your signature. I
would not make this suggestion as to
the time for action except for the fact
that you are, of course. familiar with
the problem and must have before
this reached a definite conclusion with
respect thereto.
AS this is a matter of public interest,
l have taken the liberty Of delivering
a copy to the press. Yours truly,
VIM. p. MARTIN.
