Axernen Attack

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 16,-The
manager Of the Hotel Chalfonte has
attached burglar alarm wires let-]ing
into the hotel to the protecting iron
rods aroun the trees, over which there
have been exciting midnight battles.
This precaution has been taken to
prevent choppers employed by Charles
x. Smith, of Philadelphia, from cutting
down the trees while the hotel owners
and Smith fight in court over the own
ership of a twelve-foot right of way.
1t is on this that the row of six trees
stands.
Smiths men have made repeated at
tempts to remove the trees, but have
been repulsed by streams of icy water
from fire hose. The burglar alarm will
prevent them from stealing a march
on the Waterman.

Cops Sure This
Plumber Knew
Business Well

Somewhere in Newark is a plumber
with tools and materials and willing
to tackle anything from a leaky faucet
to q steam heating plant. II he lacks
a recommendation the police of the
Fourth Precinct will be perfectly will
ing to vouch for him, particularly for
his nerve.
The tools he obtained from a tool
house at Seventeenth avenue and Liv-
ingston street, opposite the Fourth pre-
cinct police station. He didn't ask any
one for them, and he didn't have a
key to unlock the t~ool-house. But he
has the tools.
When he could not find the materials
he wanted he visited the plumbing
store of Isador Cohen, at So Broome
street, and helped himself He took
a good supply of solder, a flush tank,
brass faucets, a water gauge and q full
complement of plumbing supplies.
While the Fourth Precinct police are
perfectly willing to concede that the
would-be plumber is an expert, they
would like to have a little talk in pri-
vate with him. They don't approve of
robbers who operate opposite the police
station and get away.
Plumbers tools were also stolen from
a tool-box belonging to Louis Meyer, at
260 South Orange avenue From a tool
house at 225 Main street, $40 worth of
tools were taken. Morris Stein was the
owner of the Toulouse.
These are four more in the long list
of tool robberies that have been re-
ported to the police this week.

MAYORS DISCUSS
ELIMINATION Of
GRADE CROSSINGS
Urge Amendment Giving Public
Utilities Commission
Full Sway.
WOULD PLACE EXPENSE
ON RAILROAD COMPANIES
East Orange Executive Cites
Example of Difficulty OF
Getting Action.

The conference of mayors of the
state to devise plans for the removal
of grade crossings opened this after
noon in the East Orange City Hail.
and was called to order by Mayor Jul
liam A. Gregory, of that city.
A bill providing for an amendment
t. the public utilities act giving the
Public Utilities Commission the right
to compel the removal of any grade
crossing in the State at the expense
of the railroads upon application or a
municipality was recommended.
Mayor Gregory said that the numer-
Gus crossing accidents all over the
State had served to create a popular
demand for immediate action by the
Legislature. The result is, said the
executive, that there is found in the
platform of the Republican and DEM
ceratic parties a promise to pass legis-
lation eliminating grade crossings.
Mayor Gregory stated that in his be-
lief it would not be required of the
mayors to arouse public sentiment be-
cause legislation had been promised,
but the mayors should see to 1t h a
a bill should be enacted complying
literally with the party promises.
The efforts of East Orange to secure
remedial action in regard to the grade
crossing in Main street, said to be the
greatest death-trap in the State, n
where a trolley car filed with passen-
gers was nearly run down by a train
while crossing the Lackawanna tracks
early this week in a fog, was dis
cussed. Mayor Gregory said he had
been advised that the only way of COM
pelling a railroad under existing laws
to eliminate grade crossings was
through legislation brought by the at
torney-general in behalf of the State.
Such an action was brought three
years ago." said Mayor Gregory,
against the Delaware and Lackawan-
ma Railroad Company for the elimina-
ton Of his crossing, but by the inter-
position of denlurrers and the employ
ment of tactics so well known to the
legal profession for the purpose of de-
lay, the case was not even on the cal
endar awaiting trial. At the rate this
proceeding has gone it would seem to
indicate thai IT, required years to dis
pose of every such case brought to
the attention of the attorney generals
office"
Following a recess a committee Of
five a appointed to draft a bill for
submission to the Legislature. 1t was
decided TO have a committee go to
Trenton during the coming session to
work for the necessary legislation.

TERMINAL PLANS
TO Be EXPLAINED
New York Dock Commissioner
Will Address Public Meet
ing in Newark.

All the invitation of the New Jersey
Harbor Commission Calvin Tomkins
commissioner of docks of the city oil
New York, will present to the commits
sion at a public meeting to be held al
the rooms of the Newark Board OF
Trade Thursday evening, December 81,
at 8 O'Clock, a map accompanied with
a tentative report suggesting a method
of coordinating the railroad and steam
ship terminals OF the two States with
in the port of New York.
1t is Mr.. Tomkins's opinion, which
he has previously advanced before the
Board of Trade, that the separation of
the New York and New Jersey dis
tricts of the port is detrimental to
proper development in both States.
Passenger tunnels have demonstrated
the practicability of freight tunnels,
and in recent reports of Mr.. Tomkins
to the mayor of the city of New York,
he has pointed out the inevitable con-
struction of freight tunnels to COM
plete a comprehensive organization of
the port.
Proper articulation of the railroads
with the water front, both in New
York and New Jersey, in such a man
ner as to make all parts of the port
in both States accessible by all the
railroads, is the end to be sought, and
in order to accomplish this the prompt
and friendly cooperation of both States
is necessary.
The meeting will be public and the
three New Jersey commissioners, e. J.
Heppenheimer, j. Spencer Smith and
r. C. Jenkinson, will be present.
The members of the new Legislature,
as well as city officials, have been In
vited to be present at the meeting.
