special TO the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, July 10:-Pleas
of mot guilty" were entered by
three railroad corporations and one
railroad superintendent this morn
ing in Judge Peter f. Daly's court,
when the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, the new York and Long
Branch Railroad Company and Su-
perintendent l.. |. Berry, of the lat
ter corporation, were arraigned on a
charge of manslaughter in connec-
tion with the death of Daniel Coyne,
the young son of New York 81

sellor Allan H. Strong, of Philadel-
phia, formerly of this city, appear
Ing for the Pennsylvania railroad;
John s. Applegate, of RED Bank, for
the Central and the New York e
Long Branch railroads. and by Mr..
Berry in person.
The indictments on which the cor
porations and superintendent were
arraigned this morning were found
by Middlesex county grand jury
during the life of the late Prosecu-
tor Theodore B. Booraem His
death intervened and prevented the
speedy trial he had planned. When
Prosecutor George 8. Silzer stepped
into office he found the Coyne case
buried under more recent work, but
is now prepared to meet any effort
of the defendants to secure legal
vindication.
No date has been set for the
trial, but it is expected to occur
shortly. The indictments charge
the corporations and Superintendent
Berry with criminal neglect in oper-
ating trains on right of way not
properly safeguarded.
Daniel Coyne was killed while on
his way across the tracks of the New
York & Long Branch Railroad Com
pany, carrying supper to his father.
The boy was struck in front of the
station of the New York e Long
Branch railroad, at South Amboy, in

HARD PROBLEM
FOR TAFT MEN
Presidential Electors in Sew
eraI States Declare They
Will Vote for Roosevelt.
CANNOT STOP THEM
Although Chosen as Repub|i-
cans, the Constitution Re-
coqnizes no Conventions.
Special oy United Press Wire.

Washington, July 10:-Secretary
Hilles inaugurated his new job as
Republican national chairman today
by plunging into an attempt to
solve the problem of Taft and
Roosevelt presidential electors. In
an effort to determine whether it is
best to oust the pro-Roosevelt cleo
tors already mentioned, or run Taft
electors as Independent in certain
states, Hilles held a series Of con-
ferences with national Republican
leaders. The President participated
in some of the discussions. The
South Dakota, Kansas and Pennsyl-
vania situation were going over in
detail. Representative Mckinley
aided the Republican leaders from
these states In the presentation of
their local situation.
Representative Burke said to
Taft: 1.-THE third party people are
crying Thou shalt not steal, ut in
South Dakota Roosevelt Is planning
q deliberate steal of our directors.
Moore told him that II separate
tickets be necessary to get Taft cleo
tors names on the officials ballots
there will be scarcely any hope Of
electing a Republican congress"
Senator Gamble said that the
South Dakota state committee elect
ed all Roosevelt men as Republican
electors and all Of them now say
they will vote for Roosevelt in the
electoral college. In this state
Hilles must petition to put Taft
electors on the balolt. In Kansas
Governor Stubs and Senator Bris-
tow are for Roosevelt and will prob
ably swing the whole state. Should
Kansas electors be for Roosevelt
Taft will have no defense.
Hilles cannot even nominate
electors by petition. 1t is predicted
that the regular Republicans in
Kansas will support Wilson in order
to defeat Roosevelt. In California
the Republican nominees for the
state legislature are all Roosevelt
men and will select the presidential
electors.

100000 TO BE SPENT
General BakeIite Company
and Chessbrouqh vaseline
Works to Erect Buildings.

improvements contemplated IN
three local factories within the next
six months will cost in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000. Besides additions
to plants several alterations to old
buildings and many new buildings
will be erected. At the Didier-March
concern work on 100000 contract
has already been started. The Gen.
eral Bakelite Company will erect
new buildings costing 100000 and
the Chesebrough Vaseline Works
have awarded a contract for the
erection of a filtration plant to cost
about $4,000. At least another
1000 laborers will be given employ
ment when the new places are in
operation.
Rebuilding Didfer-March.
Work for the rebuilding of the
burned plant of the Didier-March
Company will commence In about
week and before operations have
ceased more than 100000 will be
spent. The engineering department
of the concern have prepared maps
and drawings for one of the most up
to-date factories in this section OF
New Jersey. The plant will be mod
ern in every manner and will be fire
proof as near as possible To avoid
a repetition of the fire Of several
months ago the new plans call for a
| high pressure system to be used IN
case of fire.
Officials of the concern today
stated that after the work of rebuild
ing is completed the building force
will then be placed on the other
buildings where many improvements
will be made. When completed the
factory will be one of the largest OF
its kind in the country. Work Will
be rushed through as fast as possible
owing to the large number of orders
on hand. When the work is started
700 men will be put on the job. A
large force will work during the day
time while an extra force will rush
the work at night. New and more
up-to-date machinery will be Install
ed making it quicker to turn out
work.
BakeIite Plant to Enlarge.
Bakelite has become so popular
that the present quarters at the
Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical
Company's property are inadequate
and plans are well under way for the
erection of a new building and i'm
provements to the present ones. The
work will be rushed through as
quickly as possible and will be IN
operation about January l.
Several new patents are being per-
fected which will tend toward the
improvement of the factory now un-
der consideration. The buildings
will be constructed Of brick and will
be practically fireproof. The size and
equipment OF the new quarters can
not be divulged by the officials of the
plant at the present time.
A two-story building to cost IN the
neighborhood of $4,000 Is to be
constructed by the Chesebrough
Vaseline Works for filtration pur-
poses. The new structure will De

He said that he believed it would
declare for the revision Of certain
schedules Of the Payne-Aldrich law.
especially the wool schedule, but
that this was matter Of detail
about which he was not troubling

EAGLES To GET
ANOTHER SITE

1t is now believed that the plans
furthered by the Perth Amboy Aerie
No. 1856, Fraternal Order of Eagles,
story clubhouse on Fayette street,
between State and Mechanic streets,
will have to be changed. In making
search Of the property which the
Eagles anticipated purchasing it was
found that the property was not
clear from encumbrances which will
probably cause q hitch. So the
Eagles. who have filed papers for in

site for the $4,000 building which
they plan to erect. ]. X. Jensen will
probably be the architect.

FATALLY HURT
WATCHING ROW
Man Hit by c. R. R. Express
Dies Shortly After Arriving
at Hospital.
EXPIRES IN CORRIDOR
Was Standing on Tracks
Near Hall Avenue Bridge
Unmindful of Danger.

Joseph Fragicluro, about forty
years old, of 448 Park avenue, was
fatally injured at 4:53 o'clock yes
terday afternoon by southbound
express on the Central Railroad of
New Jersey. His wounds were SO
serious that he expired in the corri-
dor of the city hospital before an
operation could be performed. 1t is
believed by the police that the dead
man was watching strike trouble at
the plant Of the Perth Amboy Cigar
Company from the tracks of the Cen
trail railroad and did not see or hear
the approach OF the fast-goIng train.
The accident occurred near the Hall
avenue overhead bridge, and not on
a grade crossing as reported.
Is Placed On Train.
Conductor Romeis, Of Jersey City,
In charge OF Train No. $40, which
caused the mans death. Immediately
backed his train to the scene of the
accident and picked up the uncon-
scious form of Fragicluro. The train
then proceeded to the Central rail-
road station in Smith street, and DR..
F. 9. Henry, the company's physi-
clan, called. Seeing the mans seri-
GUS condition the doctor ordered an
immediate removal to the hospital,
which was done in the city ambu-
lance. AS stated, Fragicluro died in
the hospital corridor before the oper-
ating room was reached. DR.. John
L, Lund, the consulting physician In
the case, states that the man sus-
tanned broken ribs and punctured
lung in his right side. and a frac-
tured skull.
Several persons In the vicinity OF
the accident when Fragicluro was
struck by the express turned their
heads away In dread of the sight.
Needful assistance was rendered,
however, after the man had been
flung aside by the train, and before
Conductor Romeis and his crew re-
turned to the scene. The railroad
officials have not clear explanation
of the cause of the accident, as the
express train hurried on its trip
south after placing the body of the
victim in the physicians care at the
railroad station. 1t is the belief of
the officials, however, that Fragicluro
was trespassing on the property Of
the company.
Fragicluro was employed by the
Ostergaard Tile Works, Gil Sayre
avenue, the railroad company re-
ports. The tile company declares
that only one man is missing this
morning, called John Berna." An
official of the tile company stated
that he paid "Berna" at $50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Acting Ser
geant Wood, at the police station,
received word of the accident shortly
after it happened and entered re-
port on the blotter.

MAYORAlTY IS
AN OPEN RACE
Many Names Mentioned by
Both Parties as Probable
Candidates for Nomination
THIRD PARTY CONSIDERED
May Have Three Cornered
Fight in City and County
Election This Fall.

The mayoralty situation in this
city has not been altered one parti-
Gle, by the brilliance of the political
limelight at Sea Girt, the summer
home of Governor Woodrow Wilson,
whose recent nomination by the
Democrats for President of the
United States has thrown New Jer-
sey into q political turmoil. This
city will elect a mayor in November,
and neither the Republicans nor
Democrats are allowing national
politics to interfere with the
grooming" of several logical can
dldates for the Office Of city's chief
executive. The Democrats believe
they will retain this office. The G.
0. P, however, expect to present a
candidate of popularity and Ego in
with bells on" as the saying goes.
Ira r. Grouse has been mentioned
as a probable candidate of the Re-
publican party for this important
not be made, in all probability,
make the run there is a likelihood of
a contest at the primaries. The G.
0. p. men declare, despite any such
lhCllOuGl USuL dL INC pollo ia OSp-
tember, that old wounds will be
healed before November and every
Republican united for the success of
the ticket. Acting Mayor Ferd. Gar
retson has been urged to accept the
Republican nomination, but declares
that he would rather retain his pres
ent elective Office of alderman-at-
large. Mr.. Garretson does not be-
"a -
should jeopardize both positions.
Victor L. Main has been "groomed"
for the nomination, as well.
Democratic Situation.
On the Democratic side can be
found such timber" as Alderman
Lawrence c. Dalton, of the fifth
ward, who served as acting mayor
for two months last winter; William
D. Voorhees,, who was defeated for
reelection as alderman-at-large by
Mr.. Garretson, and George f. Rey-
nolds, a member of the playground
commission. 1t is understood that
Alderman f. A. Seaman, Of the se"-
ond ward, is being urged p some
for the nomination. 1t IS also under
stood that Thomas f. Burke will al
SO be candidate for the nomination
at the primaries.
Another factor may become para
mount, however, In local politics.
Former Judge Adrian Lyon, men,
Der of the Roosevelt state commit
tee, is contemplating putting third
ticket in the field, in the interests
of Col. Roosevelt. He believes that
a campaign for local Offices may re-
suit in a Roosevelt victory In the
county, where a Roosevelt ticket
may also be placed, Judge Lyon says
If such action Is taken by the Roose-
welt hackers, interesting develop
ments can be expected in this city
before next November.
