troubles in the Federal Court.
The wedding is set for tonight.
johnson first made his application
to L. c. Legner, clerk of the marriage
license Office Miss Cameron was not
with him, and when the prize fighter
stated that she would not be 10 years
of age until February, the clerk, fol-
lowing a rule of the office in such

Johnson then appealed to Robert M.
SweitZer, county, clerk, who overruled
Mr.. Legner, and Johnson went away

the county clerk that the records in

neys.

THREE ARRESTED
AS AUTO THIEVES
Betrayed by Young Women
Who Lured Chauffeur from
$500 Car.

Betrayed by their girl accomplices
three men who, the police say, are
members of a band which has per-
petrated a series of daring automo-
bile thefts in this State, New York
and in New England and the Middle
West, were rounded up by detectives
from headquarters In Hoboken last
night
The specific charge against the
prisoners. who were taken
from the Hoboben city prison to this
city today, is the larceny of a $500
Packard car from NJ. & ]. Dignan.
who conduct hack and auto livery
business at II Littleton avenue. The
alleged theft took place last Friday
night.
The local police say they seized the
supposed auto thieves just in time,
for, according to a confession which
Lieutenant Kehoe says was made by
one of them, they had made all
preparations to depart for Boston to
dispose of the stolen car at 5 o'clock
this morning.
The prisoners are George Lapp, 40
years old, of 300 Central avenue, Jer-
sey City: Arthur Johnston, 25 years
old. of 42s Broad street, this city,

was called to order. All previous cal
culations were upset when Assem-
blyman John j. Bracken, James c.
Agnew and Arthur F. McGrath, of
Hudson, were nominated for tempo
rary chairman. Both Bracken and
McGrath withdrew in favor of Ag-
new, who was then chosen unani-
mously.
Assemblyman j. Russell Carrow,
of Camden, was chosen secretary of
the caucus.
Assemblyman Charles NJ. Egan and
Thomas f. Martin were nominated
for permanent chairman. 1t was
agreed that the selection should carry
with it the majority leadership in the
yspuse.
Egan was placed in nomination by
Assemblyman Branegan and Martin
by Assemblyman McDermott.
Assemblyman Hennessy, seconding
the nomination of Egan, said that the
selection of Martin would preeipitate
a condition that would not mean
harmony, that it would be an act
of hostility to Governor Wilson and
would be so regarded by him. His
words, he said. were not so much in
support of Egan or against Martin
as in the interests of permanent
Democratic harmony.
He said that If necessary he could
prove that the selection Of Martin
would be an offense to the Governor
Mr.. McDermott accepted the chal-
h. ntfft nTiU a
for Hennessy's statement. He said
that the Hennessy utterance was a
threat.
Hennessy replied that his authority
was ]. p. Tumulty, the governors s
secretary, and that he, Tumulty,
would come before the caucus and
explain the fact further if invited.
Assen1blyman Bredenbek, of Hud-
son, moved that Mr. Tumulty be in
vited to speak before the caucus.
Mr.. Martin was one of those who
seconded the invitation.
He said that if there was to be a
"reign of terror" now was the
proper time to know it. He was
ready to plead guilty to the charge
that he disagreed with the COVER
nOf'S secretary ne ndu dBreeu Win
the governor more frequently than
he had disagreed with him. Then he
enumerated the points on which he
had agreed and disagreed with the
governor. "I have been the object of
personal attack today by Mr.. Tu-
multy, who used the language of a
"loafer" toward me-"
Hennessy objected to an attack on
Tumulty In his absence.
Martin replied that he was ready
to characterize Tumulty liar in his
presence.
The motion to invite Tumulty into
the caucus, was lost by "A to 6, Dur

Near Fist Fight
at House Caucus
rFrom a Stan Correspondent

IFrOm Stan Correspondence
TRENTON N. j., Dec. 3-One- of
the incidents of the Democratic AS
sembly caucus today attracted more
attention than the caucus itself. ].
P. Tumulty, the governors secretary,
and Thomas F. Martin, candidate for
House leader. almost came to blows
on meeting in one of the corridors
Tumulty had been doing some is
sionary work for Assemblyman Hen
messy, which was, of course, mill
tating against Martins chances for
the leadership. Some words passed
between them and each assumed to
the other a decidedly angry attitude
which eliminated in their doubling
UP their fists for action.
National Committeeman Robert g.
Hudspeth stepped between the COM
batants and prevented the prospect
of a free fight. Neither Tumulty nor
Martin would have anything to say
about the encounter after the fuss
was over, nor offer any explanation
as TO its cause.

BRIDGE GOING TO
PIECES IS FEARED
AS BLOCKS DROP
Bloomfield Ave. Via
duct Over Morris
Canal Unsafe.

Guards were stationed today at the
Bloomfield avenue bridge over the
Morris Canal following indications of
its collapse.
Drivers of heavy motor trucks were
ordered to run slowly and no two
vehicles or street cars were allowed
on the structure at one time.
Several slabs of granite block in
the foundation gave way last night
and further breaking up of the stone
work is feared.
Persons in the neighborhood declared
they considered it dangerous for the
heavy trolley cars to pass over the
bridge. The driver of nearly every
vehicle, which came in either di-
rection over the bridge, was asked
to go slowly. A few heavy trucks
went over at fast gait, despite the
warnings
According to one of the Public Ser
vice employees on the scene, the hole
in the foundation, which is about six
feet wide, four feet in breadth, and
as far as the water line, about four
feet in depth, was discovered about
six o'clock last night Shortly after
the trolley company stationed a man
at the bridge and he remained there
all night, being relieved by two
others early this morning. Six red
lanterns were lighted and placed on
the bridge during the night. Four
policemen were looking the situation
over after 10 o'clock last night.
The foundation on the west side of
the bridge, where the hole appears,
has sagged considera bly, at this weak
point. Other large slabs Of stone ap-
pear to be laying loose as though
about to fall.
Star reporter watched the precau-
tions taken by the Public Service
railway company and the police
against mishap. Two men are sta
toned at either end of the bridge. An
inspector of the trolley company was
present also and when asked what
was the trougle with the bridge said:
II guess they'rs afraid she'll tumble
into the canal
A sign was placed on the north side
of the bridge some time ago warning
than 10000 lbs. is allowed to cross.
This sign is stationed in the centre of
the bridge, but cannot be read until a
pedestrian is almost in the centre of
the bridge. The warning is signed
by the Board of Works.
Superintendent of the Street De-
partment Shipman declared the
Works Board had intended that Chief
Engineer Sherrerd should view the
situation today, but he had to go to
Trenton The superintendent also
stated 1t was a question as to who
was responsible for the repairing of
the bridge and the controversy was
among the city, the Public Service
Corporation and the owners of the
Morris canal.
Mr. Shipman received word from
the representatives of the trolley
that the Public Service
would repair the damage to the
bridge as soon as possible and settle
the dispute as to costs later.

nations nave accedeu 10 tne request ot
the Turks that the peace negotiations
take place in London
LONDON. Dec. .3.-Adrianople was
the obstacle which threatened to
wreck the parleys between the plen-
ipotentiaries of Turkey and of the
Balkan allies when they first opened
at Baghtche and Adrianople. and ap-
peared again at the end of the nego-
tiations as the most serious hindrance
to the attainment of an agreement.
During the first session of the del
egates the Turks absolutely refused
to consider the surrender of the
stronghold of Adrianople, and when
the Bulgarians subsequently yielded
TO them on this point the Greek dele
gates shrank bacb and demanded
time in which to submit the question
to the government 1T Athens.
The reason for the Hellenic objec-
ton TO any such submission to the
desires of the Ottoman representa-
tives is not far to seek, according to
the opinion expressed in diplomatic
circles. Ii is pointed out that it
Is Obvious that If the Bulgarians sac
rifle the ultimate possession of
Adrianople in the interests of gen.
eral peace they will more actively
dispute the Hellenic claims to the
possession of Saloniki.
Diplomats in all the European
countries are anxious to see the real
peace negotiations begun, as they
consider there will then be peace they
will expect their allies to share their
sacrifice and the only way in which
this can be done is to give Bulgaria
compensation in the shape of terri
tory conquered by the Greeks, Ser
vians and Montenegrins, and which
they had staked out for themselves.
Hence the wall from Athens that
any concessions to Turkey will EN-
danger the fruits of victory gained
by the allies above all those of Greece
and Servia."

be signed today at Baghtche. on the
