prediction was made, fathered by the
desire, that they would soon be with

increased in number until now nearly
the entire street car system in Hous-

deduction is that they have proven
agreeable and acceptable to the pub

MISSING YOUTHS
BODY IS FOUND
IN NEWARK BAY
Another Boy Loses Life in
Morris Canal While
Wading.

The bodies of two boys were taken
from the water today. The police de-
clare both drownings were accidental.
Stephen Kuffeer, IL years old, of "a
Ferdon street, who was reported miss
ing to the police last Sunday by his
parents, was found today floating in
the Newark bay On Sunday the faith
er of the lad went to the bank where
he knew his son had gone swimming
and found his clothes. These were
taken to the Third precinct police sta
ton.
George Rusch, o. bridge tender of the
Central railroad. draw, saw the body
floating past tne bridge today. and
after securing it notified the police.
County Physician Mckenzie was noti-
fled and ordered the body removed to
Mullins morgue.
While bathing with several COM
panions in the Morris canal ut the foot
of Ferguson street, Peter Thorn, years
old, of 80 Monroe street, was drowned
today. 1t was declared that he was
unable to swim, but had been coaxed
by his companions to get into the
water, as it was not deep. He obliged
them, but waded out too far.
The lads stood on the shore shouting
for assistance, when Patrolman Hugh
Fitzsimmons, of the Third precinct
police station arrived. He waded out
and carried the drowned boy to the

D DYNAMIT
FOR MARSH
MOSQUITO
400 Pounds TO Be Used
in Attempted Ex-
termination.

Killing mosquitoes by using dyna'
mite is the new method to he +ried on
the Kearny meadows.
The first experiment of this kind will
take place Thursday morning rear the
Turnpike trolley line and between that
line and the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks. State Entomologist John b.
Smith will conduct the test.
Four hundred pounds of the explosive
will be set off on the meadows, and "
Is hoped that complete annihilation Of
that brand of the pest known as the
salt marsh mosquito will follow within
a few weeks.
A special representative from the
DUPONT powder works In Wilmington,
Del, will come here to ouch off the
dynamite. John w. Dobbins, chief of
the mosquito department of Newark
will accompany State Entomologist
Smith to the meadows to witness the
attempted determination Of he pests.
The State entomologist does not hops
to kill many of the mosquitoes by
dynamite alone. In fact that is not his
plan. 1t is not expected that the dyna-
mite will annihilate more than mil
lion or so. According to Mr. Dobbins,
the meadows in the vicinity OF the
Turnpike line, near the slaughter
houses, are so low that drairage is i'm
possible Thus it makes an ideal place
for breeding mosquitoes In fact, ac.
cording to Mr.. Dobbins. with the ex-
ception of the meadows south of Eliza
beth, it Is the only breeding place left
in northern New Jersey for that brand
of the pest.
The dynamite will be used to make
large holes. or artificial ponds, in the
meadows. about fifteen feet deep, and
into these the water win be drained.

FOUGHKEPSIE, June 27.-The big
regatta this afternoon is still consid-
cred a two-crew race, Cornell and
Columbia, with Pennsylvania, Syracuse
and Wisconsin fighting it out for the
last three places.
There was a slight show of Columbia
money early today, but the New York
ers demanded to from Cornells 8
hackers, and the latter were loath to
give this price.
Scores of yachts are anchored along
the course, and the exodus to vantage
points along the banks of the river be-
gan early this morning. Early indica-
tions We're that the varsity eight race
would not be started before o'clock,
to be preceded by the varsity four and
freshmen eight.
At noon there was a stiff southeast
wind blowing. This promised with the
change Of tide to cause rough water.
With a combination of the ebb tide
and south or southeast wind Pennsyl-
vania, which has the near shore course,
would naturally have the advantage of
the other crews in the varsity race. In
the freshmen race this advantage
would fall to Cornell, which has the
inside course The wind had the ef-
feet, however, of partially dispelling
the thick haze which covered the river
during the early morning hours.
Toward noon the sun broke through
the clouds occasionally, but indica-
tons then pointed to showery con-
ditions.
While early in the day many bets of
even money and five to four were made
on Cornell against the field. at noon.
with changing weather conditions, the
Cornell hackers were demanding odds
of and 4 to 8 on their crews against
the field. All SORTS of bets were made
on various combinations with Cornell
the ruling favortte.

NEW BRUNSWICK VOTES
ON COMMISSION RULE.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 27.-This
election today to decide on the adop-
tion or rejection of the commission form
of government The indications are
that a heavy vote will be polled and
the result will be close.
The Commission Government League
had workers out at the polling place
today. Many who have been keeping
in the background came out in sup
port of the opposing sides. Former
Mayor George A. Viehmann, a Dem
ocrat, has been one of the prime NOV
ers for the new form of government
iere supported by Charles Deshler,
Democrat, former member of the excise
board, and Charles A. Mccormick,
treasurer of Johnson & Johnson, also a
Democrat William Colburn. Demo-
crat; John Watson, Republican, and
Mayor John ]. Morrison, Republican,
are active with them.
The Theodore Strong faction of the
Republican party is out against the
change. but not solidly. Theodore
Whitlock, who was a Republican cam
didate for mayor three years ago, and
y. Henry Rastall, one of Mr.. Strong's
supporters, were working for the meas
ure. Most of the members of the Rob-
ert Carson faction of the Republican
party were also for the change. The
Democratic party is split on the issue.
County Chairman Thomas H. Hagerty
was working against it, as were most
of the younger members of the party.
The volunteer fire department Is
against the change, fearing that 1t
means that the time-honored depart
ment will be replaced with a paid de-
partment. The fact that Mr.. Vieh-
mann, who Is the president of the New
brunswick Fire Insurance Company,
was a member of the committee of
nine which investigated fire matters in
this city year ago and which recon-
mended radical changes in the depart
ment, has been seized upon by the OPP
pononts of the commission government
as an indication of what is to happen
in event of a change here.
Up to noon about half the normal
vote had been cast. The only excite-
ment was in the Third and Sixth wards,
where the election boards opposed the
ants as challengers
When the challengers named by the
Commission Government League ap-
peared they were ordered from the polls
until they appealed to Judge Daley and
won recognition. Charles Deshler was
elected from the Third ward polling
place by the ants.
The ants, 1t was charged, circulated
a report that Judge Daley had held
that 100 feet rule at election booths did
not count at this election. Judge Daley
uas Indignant when he heard IT. and
ordered Chief of Police O'Connell to
keep all poll workers 100 feet away
from the polls except the chalengers.
Secretary Yorston, of the Commission
Government League. scsd this noon
that he Is confident of success for the
league.

are that the total vote polled today for
and against the adoption of the Walsh
act, which provides for the commission
form of government, would reach 5000

ton was about 5000 The estimate

Democratic leader, and William P. Ver-
don, Republican leader. that commits
sion government will be defeated by a
majority of 1000.
c. H. c. Jagels, president of the
Board of Trade, who has been advo-
eating the commission form Of gov
ernment here, when told of the esti-
mates of Griffin and Verdon laughed
and said that it was very easy thing
to make a mistake. He said he hoped
and believed that friends of the COM
mission form of government would OBJ
tain a victory.
There was no trouble in the polling
places over the refusal of the election
officers to permit the advocates of COM
mission form of government to have
challengers at the polls.
For a time ballots were refused.
Judge Carey was appealed to by the
commission form of government men
and he ordered the election officers to
receive ballots.
He did not decide whether challenges
should represent the commission gov
ernment men, but advised that they
should be permitted to do SO.

Mystery Surrounds Death

dead and only slightly bruised body
Of Claud Johnson was discovered "

The north bound passenger train had
