BROWNS WHEN
BOAT UPSETS
Matthew Ksarns Victim at
|. Y. Coal Docks.

Matthew Kearns, about eighteen
years old, was drowned at the Lehigh
Valley Coal Docks about seven O'Clock
last night when he rowed. his boat too
near. the "quick water" of the tug
boat "Ganoga," and his boat capsiz-
ed. The body has not been recovered,
and it was not until 2:30 O'Clock this
afternoon that the row boat was found
all shattered.
1t is thought Kearns, who is single
and had been employed on the Lehigh
Valley barge Bellewood" had been
exercising on the river and was on his
way up the slip when the accident hap
pened
So far as can be learned Charles Olli-
vier is the only man who saw the acci-
dent. He was on a nearby barge and
saw the row boat capsize when it hit
the wake of the tug boat. Mr. Olivier
could not say positively that the man
was Kearns but as he had been seen
on the river previously the supposition
is that the young man is the victim.
The row boat was owned by Olivier s
brother, Capt. Olivier.
Kearns came here from Philadelphia
two years ago, and leaves two sisters
and one brother in that city.

this city on the assessment of the

matter to the Supreme Court and

the assessment was made

Mr.. Hommann appeared before the
State Board yesterday and held that
the assessments were not made ac-
cOrding to Chapter 118. of the Laws
of 1910, under which law the assess
ments were levied, and also claimed
the statute mentioned is not eonsti-
tutionaL While the State Board
would not determine the legality of
the law, they Will shortly hand down
a decision as to whether the assess
ments were made in accordance with
the chapter mentioned
Back in 1906 a law was passed
making municipalities taxable for
water works, but this statute was

the statute which was passed in con-

also been held, on various occasions,
to be unlawful and Attorney HON.
mann is of similar opinion.
Only OyerFuled Once.
Steps will be taken to have the
matter aired in the highest court, IL
the state Board dismisses the appeal,
as is usually the case. In only one
instance since the organization of the
county board has the state board

body.
Perth Amboy was assessed in 1910
by Madison township for their land
and buildings at Runyon, entailing an
amount of s63,525. OF this amount

city protests against under the laws
mentioned, but it is willing 70 pay

Minneapolis, May 24:-Governor

on his trip homeward. He received
an enthusiastic greeting. At noon
he addressed the Publicity Club. To-
night he will speak in st. Paul, af
ter being the guest of honor at a re-
ception at the state capitol by the
governor of MINNESOTA.
In his speech to the Publicity
Club Governor Wilson advocated
strongly absolute publicity as the
only cure for Illegal connections be-
tween business and politics. He
said that the business interference in
the state legislature has created the
worst influence in recent politics.
Governor Wilson declared the pro-
gressive movement Is not a matter
of geography but that it extends all
over the United States. He said the
most interesting feature of the day
in politics is the magnitude of the
Independent pote. The most ad-
panced stage of independent voting" "
he said, &c is in the West, although it
is not materially different from that
In the East Everywhere Americans
are confronting great national prob
lens. They are going to solve them
without blind allegiance to party" "

Governor Wilson will make no more
stops until he reaches New Jersey.

BURGLARS IN
WOODBRIDGE
Thieves Cut Glass in IewsIry
Store Window and Steal
tho Contents.
GET ABOUT $50 WORTH
Another Robbery at Wood
bridge and Several Places
in Other Towns Entered.

Thieves seem to be holding high
carnival in this vicinity at present.
Many neighboring towns, besides
Perth Amboy, have been visited and
houses and stores have been entered
and more or less booty has been Sc
cured.
Perhaps the boldest of all these
robberies occurred in Woodbridge
last night when glass in the show
window of Chris Gebert's jewelry
store was cut and. by reaching their
hands through the opening, about
| $50 worth of jewelry that was dis
played in the window, was stolen.
The thieves did not enter the store.
AS the place is in one of the most
prominent locations In the town, be-
ing in the post office building, near
| the station, and the fact that the
robbers had to stand on the sidewalk
almost under the electric lights to do
the deed, makes the robbery all the
more remarkable. Neighbors heard
noise between 1890 and 1 o'clock
| this morning and 1t Is now thought
| this was the thieves at work. The
robbery was not discovered until
this morning, when some men pass
ing on their way to work noticed
the broken glass on the pavement.
Another Woodbridge Robbery.
Another robbery in Woodbridge
was discovered yesterday morning,
when Mrs. Emma Lockwood, of Rah-
way avenue, upon rising, found that
| thieves had been in her house dur
| ing the night. Just how the en-
| trance to the house was made is un-
known. The first evidence Mrs.
| Lockwood had was that some cloth
ing belonging to Mr.. Gould, of the
Mcclellan Lines Company, who
imakes his home with Mrs. Lock
wood, was missing Upon investiga-
ton it was found that the thieves
| had secured about $3.50 worth of
| Mr.. Gould's possessions, a gold watch
and chain, a gold pen, gold knife
and about sf6 In money were miss
| ing. The burglar had entered Mr..
| Gould's room and taken some or his
clothing out of the room and after
securing their booty left the cloth
| ing In the hall, where it was found
the following morning.
1t is supposed the burglars were
| frightened away before they had fin
ished their work, as Miss Marion

with a severe headache, and unable
Ito sleep. got up some time In the
night and saw light in one of the
other rooms. Thinking an older sis
ter had not yet retired, she made no
alarm and soon after the light went
out and 1t is thought the robbers
heard a noise and made their es-
cape So far no clue of the midnight
visitors has been found.
Robberies Elsewhere.
Last week there were three rob-
berries at Oak Tree near Metuchen,
ane one at Colonia. Saturday and
Sunday nights three places were en-
tered In Perth Amboy. The police
here think it is gang of boys oper-
ating. The robbery at Woodbridge
last night, however, and the enter
ing of a bedroom in the same place
the night before shows that the
thieves are becoming bolder. A
close watch is being kept in the diff
ferent towns in an effort to catch the
robbers.
