RIVAL PETITIONS
DISAGREE OVER
MECHANIC STREET
Some Property Owners Ask for
Widening, Others Oppose
the Project.

Two diametrically opposed petitions
concerning the proposed widening of
Mechanic street were brought before
the Board of Works this afternoon.
The first, favoring the widening, was
headed by John P. OellSers and con-
tained the names of property owners
representing 1000 feet on that street.
He declared that congestion in the
street, due to the freight yards. was
already too great to be tolerated, as
proved by frequent summoning of po-
lice reserves to clear it of wagons.
Other petitioners made the same plea.
The opponents position was present
ed by William Cooper, president of the
National State Bank, and showed sig
natures of owners of 600 feet of the
street Mr.. Cooper's plea was based on
the declaration in the first place that
Mechanic street is not unduly crowded
now and win in the course of a few
years become an office building district
in which widening would be needless
and a confiscation of property at the
present time.

P. S. OBJECTS TO CITY'S
DEDUCTION ON GAS BILL,

William A. Cox, contract agent for
the Public Service Electric Company,
today disputed the right Of the city to
deduct 20 per cent. from the December
bill for the flaming arc lights on South
Broad street. The bill for December
was $3.50. OF this 20 per cent. or s16S
was deducted because the city claimed
that it received only so per cent. serv-
ice. Mr. Cox failed to convince Acting
Chief Engineer Hallock that the city
received the best service and should
have paid the full amount.
Mr.. Hallock said that his inspectors
carefully investigated the service given
by the company. and found that In
many Instances the lights were not
burning. Mr. Cox maintained that the
company inspectors had also made re-
ports, and in their reports said that the
service was o. K Mr.. Halloclz, how
ever. said that the men employed BY
the company had too much work TO do.
and could not inspect the lamps prop
eriy. He said that often when the men
were trimming one lamp several would
be out and not discovered for half
hour or more. Mr.. Cox admitted this
to be the case. and on leaving said that
he would again take the matter ~
with the officials Of the company.

BIC LINER GOES
ASHORE IN FOG
OFF LONE HILL
Expect to Float Stranded
Princess Irene at High
Tide Today.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The steamer
Princess Irene, of the North German
Lloyd line, ran ashore early today off
the Lone Hill life-saving station, ten
miles east of Fire island, The lifting
fog between Z and 8 o'clock disclosed
the grounded liner to the life-savers,
who put out to see if she needed as
sistance. There was no sea and the
big vessel was in no apparent dam
ger.
The Princess Irene was on her way
here from Genoa and Naples and was
reported by wireless off Fire island at
$50 o'clock. About ten rcinutes
later she ran her nose on the Fire
island sand spit during the fog that
prevailed at that hour and was held
hard and fast. Her master, as soon as
he found that the big liner was close
in the grip of the sand, sent wire
less message to the company's officials
in this city describing her plight. Two
tugs were at once dispatched to her as
sistance.
1t was said by a representative of
the company shortly after the tugs
were started down the bay that 1t was
expected the liner would be f1oated on
the high tide today between II and 1
o'clock.
235 Passengers Aboard.
On board the Princess Irene are 235
Cabin passengers and 1,4S5 in the steer
age, all from Naples, Genoa, Palermo
and Gibraltar. The North German
Lloyd line offices in this city said they
would not know the identity of any of
the passengers until the ship reached
quarantine.
BY a wireless message Captain Won
Letten-Peterssen assured the company
here that the vessel was not in dan
gerous position and that he expected
she would float herself at high tide.
between 10 a. nj. and noon. He said
that he had passed Fire Island light
when a heavy fog set in The navi-
eating officer believed he was standing
several miles off the Long Island shore
and heading for Sandy Hook when the
Irene pushed herself slowly but
securely upon the sandy reef off the
Lone Hill life-saving station. The
ship Immediately sounded distress sig
nails and soon the life-saving crews
from three stations were alongside the
Irene.
Captain Frederic Won Letten-Peters-
sen and the Princess Irene distin-
guished themselves about two years
ago by furnishing spectacular and
ready relief to the Cunard line ship
Slavonia, when the later went on the
rocky coast Of the Azores. The Irene
picked up the Slavonia's wireless calls
for help and in three hours was along
side and taking off the Slavonia's 300
and more imperilled passengers. The
Princess Irene is of 1000 tons net,
5000 horsepower. 525 feet long, so feet

late message from the Irene said
that the fog had lifted and that the
weather was clear and fine.
