Assemblymen MylOd, Balentine
and Boettner Try to Hold
UD Subways.
MEASURES ADVANCED
70 THIRD READING
McGOwan and Leyeen Fight
Hard for Newark's
Welfare.
From a Stan Correspondent

TRENTON, March 23.-Despite the
obstacles placed by Assemblymen Bal
entine. Boettner and Mylod, of Essex,
the MCGOWAN bill providing for the
Newark subways n the Leveen ter
minal bill were advanced to a third
reading in the House last night.
The Essex triumviate fought hard
TO sidetrack the measures, but their
fight amounted to naught.
The municipal corporations commit
tee had reported a substitute for the
two bills which provided that the peo-
pie should first approve of the project
at a general election.
Mr. MCGOWAN offered an amendment
to the substitute subway bill, which
prove or disapprove of the appropria-
ton at a special election. The amend
ment set forth hat the subway ordi-
nance should not become a law If q
petition signed by 1000 citizens was
presented against it within ten days
L PdG0a6Cs II IAlCh PRIV A0C0
that if a further petition signed by
one-hfth of the voters should be filed
before the expiration of thirty days
there must be a special election to de-
termine the fate of the ordinance.
wanted Referendum.
Boettner opposed the amendment. He
recalled that he nae commended for a
referendum when the bill vas or. ginal-
ly introduced and urged the House to
accept the measure in the form in
which it had been shaped in commit
tee.
MIR. McGowa. said that the decision
of the people on the project should
be rendered at a special election so
that the issue should in no way be
clouded by other questions. He held
that the referendum he proposed was
fair an ) t. If 1000 citizens opposed
the action of the Newark officials in
passing a subway appropriation they
could have the question submitted to q
popular verdict.
MCGOWAN said the subway project
was too important to be passed upon
at a general election when the minds
of the voters were occupied with SO
many other things. Mr.. MCGOWAN
pointed to the hearing held in New
ark as evidence of the fact that the
people of Newark approved his bill.
Boettner wanted to know what the
cost OF a special election would be.
MCGOWAN said hat for the sake
of argument he would assume that the
cost would reach SIS. 900. That was
not too great, he continued, for the
purpose of having the project passed
upon on its merits alone. Boettner
contended that the cost was too great
inc tina a special election was un-
necessary.
The amendment was then put and
carried.
Boettner, Balentine and Mylod were
the only Essex men against the Nc
Gowan amendment.
The municipal corporations commit
tee had likewise reported a substitute
for the Leveen measure providing for
a referendum vote at a general election.
Leyeen had exactly the same kind of
an amendment to offer as Mr.. Nc
Gowan succeeded in having attached
to the subway bill.
MIR. Leveen's Plea.
The argument on the virtues of the
two kinds of referendum was heard
all over again. Mr.. Leveen made a

jewels ARE MISSING
STATEROOM ON AN ATLANTIC
Liner ROBBED OF over
$4,000 WORTH.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. Drummond Are the
Losers as the Result-Were Kept in
Cabinet Except When Wearing
Mystery Unsolved by Police-Thor-
ough Search Made by Customs.

| New York, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Maldwin
Drummond, formerly Mrs. Marshall
Field, Jr., of Chicago, was robbed of a
fortune in jewels last night aboard a
transatlantic liner Diamonds, pearls
and other gems to the value of approx
lmately $4,000 disappeared from her
stateroom on the steamship Amerika of
the Harburg- American line some time
between $3.50 O'Clock last evening and
$50 this morning.
The loss was reported Immediately
the liner locked at Hoboken, this aft
ernoon, and the police of Hoboken and
New York are working on the case.
Mrs. Drummond hurried to the Hotel
Plaza, declining to discuss her loss.
The Hamburg American line disclaims
all responsibility on the ground that
passengers leaving jewels in their
staterooms do SO at their own risk
wireless message sent from the
Amerlka as she neared port summon
ed detectives down the bay in a TUG.
They learned details of the theft from
Mrs. Drummond and began a combined
search of the ship and of the crew.
But not trace of the jewels was
found. Mrs. Drummond explained that
except that while she slept at night
she had worn the jewels almost con-
stantly, but had kept them under her
waist, not displaying them at any time
Last night, on retiring, she placed
them in cabinet drawer of the state
room, as she had done each night dur
ing the voyage. So far as she knows,
none had access to the stateroom, she
added besides her husband, herself and
her maid. Arising early today to make
her toilet she was startled. to find the
drawer empty. The captain of the
vessel was notified and a quiet inves-
tigation was begun before an aerogram
called police authorities from shore.
Stewards and stewardesses were ques-
toned closely and their clothes and be-
longings searched, and when the detec-
tives arrived there were quiet inquiries
among the 1913 first cabin passengers
aboard.
AS not a clue was developed how
ever, the customs authorities were APP
pealed to, and under guise of baggage
inspection every ones luggage was
sifted thoroughly, but so far as could
be learned, not even a suspicion was
found.
Mrs. Drummond could give no hint
which would aid the authorities, but
she believes the stateroom door was left
unlocked during the night.

Thumped Congressman Hamer.

Washington, Feb. 27.--Congressmar
Thomas r. Hamer of Idaho, stood of
three enraged secretaries in the house
of representative S office building, Sat
urday night, and made his escape tc
the street after a battle which threat
ened him with serious bodily harm
Colonel Hamer was leaving his Office
when he was jostled in the. corridor by
the secretaries, and a protest from him
brought heated words and blows.
The secretaries were Es s. CLAWS
brother of Lonis r. CLAWS of the Bal
hnger-Pinchot case fame; James Mil
Ter, secretary of Representative Dick
inson of Mississippi and William Wal
lace, secretary of Representative Bow
ers of Mississippi.
They threw him down the corridor,
cursing him and making violent threats.
Just as he left the door his foot slipped
and he fell to one knee, and one of his
pursuers bounced upon him. The en-
counter was stopped by policeman,
and a gathering crowd, which pulled
off one of the angry secretaries and
halted the other two.
cat this juncture some one handed
me my hat, and not desiring to be eth
er the victim or the hero of fight /
hurried to the capitol" said Colonel
Hamer tonight.
The office building policeman, who
failed to come to the congressman s
rescue early in the trouble, was "call-
ed on the carpet" today and probably
win lose his job. The arrest of the
three secretaries is expected.
