MANY TO TAKE
EXAMINATIONS
Several Hundred lndspsn-
dent Petitions Filled.
Special 70 the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, June 1.-The charge
made during the fight In the legisla-
ture owe the passage of the Geran
election bill that it would be i'm
possible to ecure election officers
under the elaborate civil service
provisions, is utterly refuted by the
applications to take the civil service
test already received by the Civil
Service Commission. Under the law
today Is the last day for filing petit
tons with the Civil Service Board
for the test for election officers.
Up to noon today several hundred
Independent petitions had been re-
ceived, besides those sent in by the
county chairmen of both parties.
The Independent petitions are those
IN which any nve or more voters
may nominate a candidate to take
the test. The Civil Service Commits
sion expects to receive many more
petitions this afternoon 30 that when
all have been received the number
Of candidates listed to take the ex-
animation will be large. Most Of the
Independent petitions received have
come from North Jersey, including
NSoSAs 1 oob6iS Ilu0oOA tOohIiCb,
although quite a number have also
come from Camden, Ocean, and a
few other counties. Tho large ma
jority of the independent petitions
from Essex, Hudson and Passaic
counties are from the Progressive
Republicans who by their activity in
preparing these petitions give evil
dence Of waging an active campaign.
Expect All by Tonight.
Not all the lists of candidates of
election officers to be filed by the
county chairmen had been filed this
morning, but all were expected to
be on file by tonight. The lists from
the county chairmen which had been
received up to this morning were as
follows: Burlington, Republican;
Atlantic, Republican and Democra-
tic: Camden, Republican; Ocean. Re-
publican, and Somerset. Republican.
Discussing the matter today Gard
ner Colby, chief examiner OF the
commission, said that as a rule the
independent petitions were in good
shape and indicated that men were
applying for the position who are
generally speaking more intelligent
and better qualified for the position
than those who have served as cleo
ton officers in the past. Many re-
quests for petitions we're received by
the commission yesterday, showing
that the interest In the examinations
still continues.
The examinations will begin next
week. the first ones being in Somer-
set county on Monday.

anc was taken up at a meeting of

18, had already been disposed and
the prospects looked good for many
more to be sold. A banner %announc-
ing the date of the event has been
placed in New Brunswick venue
and Jefferson street and everything
done for the success of the under

meet tomorrow night at $40

WHO MAD RIGHT OF
WAY IN THIS CASE?

Frequenters of saloons may profit
by reading up the law" on the sub
ject regulating traffic in and out OF
drinking places. II they do-t Re-
corder Kehoe may be called In apd
deal with their cases, as in one In
stance where he held one man for
the grand jury.
In the ease in question two colored
men were involved. One was enter
ing and the other was making his
exit from a saloon. One disregarded
traffic regulations and turning to the
left instead of the right smashed q
door in the face of the other. A f1s-
tic encounter wound up the affair
and both men were next seen before
the recorder.
Inc question 90 i~a.4 seems to be
as to who had the right of way. 1t
is admitted that the man leaving the
place could see than the other
one, but then the man entering Is
supposed TO have known better.
