HANSON LOOKS
IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE

New Brunswick, Sept. 14:-John
Hanson, Republican candidate for
Sheriff, was in town yesterday doing
the Misunderstanding act. He entered
the court room and shook hands all
around, that is, as far as he could
without interrupting the court pro-
ceedings, and then went to the
Sherin's office ana looked over the
jail.
Il Just want to get familiar with
It," he said with the air of a man
who considers himself already
elected.
His journey through the streets
was a continuous handshake for ev-
erybody likes to shake with a can
didate and John Hanson's long suit
is the glad hand.
The candidate talked in an opti-
mistic vein. In speaking of his OPP
ponent he always referred to Mr..
Bollschweiler and never mentioned
Mr.. Burke, which gives an idea of
how people expect the primary con
test to turn out.

MUST STAND
Justice kaIisch Deals Another
BlOW.to Atlantic Gang.

Mays Landing, Sept. 14.-Justice
Samuel Kalisch yesterday denied the
application Of counsel for George
Amole and Thomas McDevitt, Allan
tic City election officers, indicted by
the special grand jury for conspiring
to obstruct the administration of
law at the 1910 election, for a writ
of certiorari to carry the proceedings
involving the disqualification of
Sheriff E. L. Johnson and the ap-
pointment of elisors into the Su-
preme Court for review. He gave as
his eason the ~culpability of the
Sheriff, from his own admissions and
the sworn statement of Thomas
Stewart, the clerk who let him have
two registry books from the County
Clerks Office, and the right of the
Court at common law and by estab-
Iished precedent to appoint elisors
to draw puries when the Partially of
the proper official is in doubt.
These were test cases backed by
the county machine, and the failure
to obtain the writ marks the end OF
the organizations attempt to vitiate
the proceedings. George A. Bour-
geios, counsel for the indicted men,
and, incidentally, for Boss Louis
Keuhnle, intimated after the Courts
decision hat he would make no fur
Their move. Unless Justice Kalisch
grants an order removing the cases
from the Court Of Oyer and Termin-
er, Common Pleas Judge Higbee and
County Prosecutor G~oldenberg will
have no Jurisdiction over them.
Eleven indictments against three
Somers Point machine henchmen,
two of whom were indicted jointly
on six different charges, were made
public today These were the bills
returned last Wednesday and which
were kept secret. Judge Higbee's
action several weeks ago In dismiss
ing City Clerk James Scull after a
heated hearing, taking the case out
of the hands of Justice Weeks, was
repudiated by the Grand Jury, which
found six additional bills against
Scull, and he was obliged to give fur
Their bonds to the extent Of $4,000.
Charles g. G. Steelman was indicted
Jointly with Scull on six charge and
separately ON three charges, and was
held under $3.50 additional bail.
James Clark, already under indict-
ment for conspiracy at the Somers
Point election, was held under two
additional charges and gave $1,000
more bail.

COLBY BOOM
FOR SENATOR
Mentioned as Successor to
F. 0. Briggs at Washington.

Newark, Sept. 14:-Former State
Senator Everett Colby, with former
Sheriff Frank II. Sommer, was very
much in the limelight again as a
campaign orator at a meeting of the
executive committee of the Progress
s1Ve Republican League last night.
State Chairman Edmund B. Os-
borne and Executive Chairman
Lathrop Anderson made brief ad-
dresses, the former, according to
himself full of ginger and suggest
ing campaign contributions, and the
latter assuring all present that Mr..
Colby would be the to
Frank o. Briggs as United States
Senator"
That was a rally ~applauded to the
echo, as was every other one show
ing, according to the speakers, the
big work done by the league in urg-
ing the adoption Of progressive ideas.
vague reference to former members
OF the league who were not in sym
pathy with its idea now passed with
out notice.
Colonel Austen Colgate, until a
year ago one of the most earnest
supporters of the league principles,
and who is now the regular Repub-
lican candidate, after having re-
fused to accept the Progressive in
dorsement, was the man referred to,
according to Mr., Colby, who spoke
of those who formerly advocated the
principles Of the league but are now
with the opposition.
His experience abroad formed the
theme of Senator Colby's address
and it was listened to with as much
earnestness as Mr.. Sommer's appeal
for the election of William Fellowes
Morgan for State Senator and the
State chairman's appeal for individ-
ual contributions.

CROSSINGS.
IN BAD SHAPE.
Utility Commission Gets Re-
port on Newark
the EvENINo 10.

Trenton, Sept. 14:-Hany recon-
meDdations for the better protection
Of life and limb on the railroad grade
crossings in Newark are contained
IN a special report just made TO the
State Board Of Public Utility Com
missioners by Inspector James May
berry, Jr.. and made public by the
commission today.
The report follows special lnspec-
tions made by Mr.. Mayberry On all
the steam railroad lines in the city
of Newark, including all branches.
Every grade crossing is covered in
detail, conditions showed and recon-
m~endations made wherever the in
spectors deem that proper protection
is not provided.
In connection with the report the
commission announced that a hear
ing on the recommendations will be
given at the court house in Newark
Friday, September 29, at II O'Clock
A. n. Copies Of the report will be
sent TO each railroad company and
the hearing will be held to permit
them to state any objections to the
recommendations. After the hearing
din uuS COnSLlGI dlIOHy the tCLlU4l5-
sion will announce its ruling on the
question.
About forty grade crossings are
covered in the report. In some in
stances il is shown that no addition
al protection is needed, but In most
of them Inspector Mayberry contends
that further protection is needed
For instance, he claims that Freling-
huysen avenue, on the Pennsylvania
railroad, a tower should be erected
from which to operate the gates, in
order that the gateman may have a
better view OF the approach of trains.
He shows that at Verona avenue, on
the Erie road, the danger signal bell
does not always ring for all train
movements and the necessary recon-
mendation is made. Continuing, he
shows that at Chester avenue cars on
sidlngs and a high board fence OBJ
struct the view of the trains in
either direction, while from the tic
ket office of the station, where the
crossing gates are operated, travel
on the highway toward the tracks
cannot be seen. The recommendation
here Is that the gates should be oper-
ated from a location on the crossing
where the travel can be seen.
