GIRLS IN PANIC AT FIRE
Taken from Sixth Floor of Loft
Building in Elevator.

4 hundred girls were thrown into a
panic last evening when a fire broke
out on the sixth floor Of an eleven
story loft building at Nos. 1871 and 13J
West 2jth street. The floor is occu-
pied by " g. Kaufman. coat manu-
facturer.
The fii.o was discovered by a young
girl employe, who went into the coat
room and noticed smoke coming
through the walls. She rushed 10 an
elevator and told Marcus Brown, an
operator, who ran his car to the ground
floor and warned the superintendent,
Mr.. Teutschm ann. One Of the regu-
lar elevator boys was absent, so the
superintendent. with Brown, ran the
two cars UP and down until the last Of
the frightened girls had been taken
out
Meanwhile. on the seventh floor,
twenty-five girls, employed by Halbert
Brothers skirt manufacturers, saw the
smoke and ran screaming TO the win
dows. 4 few minutes later they were
taken down a fire escape by Sergeant
Liebold and Patrolman Weinstein, Of
the Tenderloin station. When the fire
companies arrived they found that
there was little fire, but dense smoke
from smouldering clothes. The damage
was about 5000.

The novel part OF her work. Mrs. Pen

sermon time OF the morning service in

evening she spoke on that subject IN
Methodist church.
1T was a great opportunity to reach the
people whom one seldom gets in street
meetings" Mrs. Penfeld said. and the
response those speeches met with was
most encouraging. On the following
Monday the headquarters Of the suffrage
association were crowded with women
who were more tnan anxious TO learn
more about the movement upon which
the vote is so imminent. They had al
ways been more or less interested, they
said, but so remotely that they had not
altogether realized until now what the
decision 10 be made on September by
the people of Ohio really meant to them.

KEEP AFTER THE DOGS.

Acting Mayor Garretson does vel
to look up the dog catcher and see
that he is at work. He is also in
the right when he calls attention tc
the requirements of the ordinance
concerning muz2les. A few days
ago we referred to the fact that the
mayor of Elizabeth had issued a
statement declaring that leather
muzzles were useless and did not
comply with the law of that city. He
gave instructions to the dog catcher
to pick up all dogs that did not wear
wire muzzles or which were not in
leash. The same order Is effective
here, Judging from Acting Mayor
Garretson's remarks, and it should
be see to that the dog catcher is at
work keeping the streets clear of
dogs that do not comply with the
ordinance. This is a highly import
ant matter for the welfare of the
city, and cannot be given too strict
attention.

The report that comes from
Washington, as told in our columns
yesterday, show how Briggs is plot
ting with the rest to gain control
of the delegates to the Chicago con-
vention in order to assure the re-
nomination of Taft, When Presi-
dent Taft said that this is the gov
eminent Of the people by a repre-
sentative part of the people," he
doubtless had such men as Briggs in
mind. But we do not believe that
Senator Briggs anywhere near rep
resents the feeling Of the people in
New Jersey.
In the senate we find him lined
up with such men as Lorimer, PEN
rose, Stephenson, Smoot and other
standpatters, many of whom ows
their seat to corruption and the
power to purchase the legislatures
which elected them.
It is for the Republican voters of
New Jersey to say whether or not
they want to have as a candidate
for president a man who is backed
by such characters as these, or
whether they want a man who
stands for the great mass of plain
people, fighting for their rights in a
clean, honest manner Such a choice
is a choice between Taft and Roose-
welt. The Republicans should make
it plain on primary day which MAI
they prefer.

BRIGGS WORK IN NEW JERSEY

In calling together a number o
Republicans to consider the election
\ of delegates from this state pledged
Ito President Taft, Senator Briggs
who is chairman of the Republican
State Committee, is violating the
true meaning of the direct primary
law, There are three candidates
for the nomination before the Re
publican voters of New Jersey. They
are Taft, Roosevelt and La Toilette.
BE- direct primary law was passed
in order th~e-the voters themselves
might choose the delegates
1t is not known at this time which
one of the three men now before the
party, the Republican voters of this
state will favor. 1t is, therefore.
decidedly unfair for the chairman of
the state committee to take sides in
favor of any one of these three can
didates and use the party machinery
and influence which naturally goes
with the state Craftsmanship, in an
effort to win support to any one In
particular. The position of a true
party leader in an event of this kind
would be to keep hands off until
the party itself had decided which
man it wants.
Senator Briggs, as state chair
man, should encourage the follow
ers of all three men to do their best
at the primary in order that the
real voice of the people might be
heard. When the people have spok-
en- 1t is the duty of the state chair
man to start in and use every fair
means possible to carry out the will
of the party in bringing about the
nomination of the man favored by
the voters at the primaries.
Perhaps this is a little too much
to expect from a man like Senator
Briggs: 1t is not surprising to find
him leading the Taft forces and
making II appear to the rank and
nIe that the Republican party, as
an organization. is entirely with
Taft In the present fight. -.

The effort on the part of the city
to have the freeholders pave the up
per end of New Brunswick avenue,
beginning at the Lehigh Valley
tracks and extending westward to-
ward the hospital, is no more than
Justice when it is considered what
is being done by the county for the
city of New Brunswick.
The EVENING NEWS has already
called attention to the paving of
Livingston avenue of that city with
sheet asphalt from curb to curb at
the expense of the county. Now,
we are told that there is a likelihood
of this avenue being returned to the
city by the county. But the pave
ment of New Brunswick ayenu does
not begin to compare with the pave
ment of Livingston avenue. The lat
ter thoroughfare was paved all the
way to Albany street through the
finest residential section of the
city.
Perth Amboy has already paved
! New Brunswick avenue as far as the
thickly populated section is con-
cerned, and it is only the outskirts
of the city where the county holds
its claim. 4s4eYiould strenuouSl+
sTafE-S
oppose turning any of our streets in
the heart of the city over to the
county, as New Brunswick has done,
unless it was with the assurance
that it would be returned to the
city after being improved. But the
outer sections of the streets leading
to neighborlng towns are really a
part of the county roads and extend
through thinly populated sections,
although within the city limits.
There is Just as much reason why
the county should pave these ends
of the streets within the city limits
as there is for the pavement of any
street through any town or borough
in the county.
As for laying a permanent pave
ment such as is desired on upper
New Brunswick avenue, the free
holders have set a precedent in the
improvement of Livingston avenue
and there Is no reason why such a
pavement cannot be demanded by
every town and city in the county.
This is particularly true regarding
Perth Amboy, where so much of the
county tax comes from. We do not
see how the freeholders can reason
ably refuse to grant the request of
the Perth Amboy aldermen with
the New Brunswick precedent star
ing them in the face.
