RUMSON SPIKE
FENCE AGAIN
Mayor and Chief Of Police
Help Cut 1t Down.

Seabright, N. j., July 16.-James M.
Alger, the eccentric Socialistic preach
er, who has defed the courts for years
by erecting several spite fences around
his Ice cream parIor, located at the en-
trance of the famous Rumson road,
and who has served q term in jail for
being d~isorderly, Is again In trouble.
A party of seven men, including for
mer Mayor 2. Hall Packer of Sea
bright and ]. Frank Patterson, chief of
police Of Red Bank, RACED his recently
constructed spite fence to the ground
while several hundred people looked
on.
While the fence was being removed
Alger circulated through the crowd
selling postal cards and shouting that
the courts of Monmouth county were
rotten and needed adjustment"
Orders Fence Torn Down.
An order addressed to p. Hall Packer
and j. Frank Patterson to emove the
fence was received from the trustee of
the Alger property, which read: Il do
hereby authorize and empower you or
either Of you, with such assistance as
may be necessary for the purpose, to
take down and level to the ground the
board fence and standing posts now on
property, the title of which stands In
my name and which Is known COM
monty as the Alger property, situated
on the south side Of the Rumson road,
near the Seabright bridge. This work
must be done at your own proper costs
and charges and without devolving any
claim or liability whatsoever on me.
This shall be you sufficient warrant.
Dated July II, 1912. Signed, William
j. McFadden, trustee"
AS soon as the fence had been re-
moved Alger was more defiant than
ever and Immediately started Its re-
construction, declaring that 'the fence
will be rebuilt as loon as physical
strength will allow. with some of the
old inscriptions and others more dam
aging to the Judiciary and the rotten
courts Of Monmouth county than ever
before, and l. James NJ. Alger, will be
selling Socialistic souvenir postal cards
and doing business at the same old
stand"

HEAR DEMANDS
QEE,E[NGANEERS
Demands Include Work When
Electricity SuppIants Steam

New York, July 16.-The case of the
locomotive engineers on hfty-two of
the railroads whose territory is east
OF Chicago and north of the Norfolk
and Western railway, who demand an
increase Of wage aggregatng $780,
600 a year, Was resum med today befor
q board Of arbitration which Is con-
Quoting hearings at the Oriental hotel,
Manhattan Beach. 1t Is recognized
that the task which the commission
has undertaken Is a colossal one, for
the reason that upon its decision
hinges not only the question at issue,
but also whether the freinen on these
same roads as we'll as other employees
shall achieve their demands, which
will be many times Us great.
The engineers at frst voted to strike
when their demands were rejected.
but finally agreed to arbitrate. Both
sides agreed to accept the decision Of
the commission
When the proceedings opened yes
terday Warren S. Stone, grand chief
Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, said that he and NJ. w. Cadle
would present the demands of the
men.
The first specific demand to be taken
up was that Of fixing the pay Of en-
gineers on passenger trains at $40 q
day for engines with twenty Inch CYL
inders, and $3.50 on engines with cyl
inders OF greater diameter. The next
clause related to electric service, and
here the engineers demand hat when
ever any part Of the system Is chang
ed from steam to electric or other
motive power the locomotive engineers
shall be retained and hat their pay
shall be the same.
I'VE propose to operate the trans
portat1on engines of this country,
whatever the motive power ls," said
Mr.. Stone very emphaticalIy, "and
later Oh, when you change to airships.
we intend to operate them"
In reply to questions, he said that he
regarded the responsibilities, the re-
Quirements and the dangers of the
electric engineer as equally as great
az those of the locomotive engineer.

INJURIOUS TO TREES

1t is somewhat surprising to some
people to note that leaves are falling
in large numbers from trees in city
hall park. They are falling at such
a rate rs to keep both the city hall
and police station janitors busy rak-
ink them up each day. The cause is
not definitely known. Some city Of

were affected by impurities In the

principally smelrters.

Structures in the Downtown
Wholesale Section Depre-
ciating in Value at a
Rapid Rate.

The wholesale business section Of
Broadway has lost much Of its odtime
realty strength: lost Il through sheer neg
lcct Of owners TO replace its ancient and
familiar building forms with attractive
types Of modern mercantile structures.
And the value OF the buildings, the ma
fority Of which were built long ago. Is
shrivelllng at a rapid rate. In some In
stances 10 is almost at the vanishing
point
The big depreciation in the worth OF
property in the old wholesale business
area Of Broadway became widely known
when the prices at auction sales Of sites
and structures In the district were much
less than the sum at which properties
were appraised by city experts. Private
sales also reflected this big drop.
Astute speculative builders had care
fully noted the eNssperatinS conditions
under which many houishng commercial
houses were forced 10 do business at
their old sites with improper housing.
They decided TO form a large modern
centre for these and other concerns
which would appreciate commodious and
sanitary business places.
Tho great Fourth avenue loft and shop
ping section and other large and up-to-
date manufacturing and showroom dis
trIcts were quickly created. Before many
OF the model commercial structures there
were ready Tor use the ncrthward migra-
ton OF mercantile concerns from down
town TO midtown was well under way
The shrInkaGe in land values In the old
wholesale bailwck Of Broadway has about
reached its lowest level It does not
seem possible that IL can descend to a
deeper mark. But the earning power OF
the old structures can and will likely
continue TO approach IN a speedy manner
the vanishing point OF realty worth
This part Of Broadway should have dis
carded It's building form, which was
moulded fifty or more years ago, az least
ten years ago. II also did not want a
subway; now II rejoices one is being built
through its entire downtown section. The
