Law for Moving Picture
Booths Is Tested.

Fireproofng of moving picture booths
as provided for in laws of the state, Is
a bone of contention among building
inspectors and directors of boards Of
public safety in almost every part of
the state. Building Inspector Michael

cation on this subject from the director
of the Board of Commissioners Of Pub
lie Safety of Trenton, who states he
has made tests and learned thereby that
iron is practically the only material that
win stand the test prescribed by law.
Mr.. Mcnamara has not made tests as
yet, but may do 80 In a short time. He
has notified owners and proprietors Of
moving picture places to make their
operating booths hreproof according to
law.
The law prescribes that square foot

FORMER FIRE
CHIEF MAKES
SUGGESTIONS
Year Report of Patrick Rocks
Will be Presented to Al
dermen Monday.
NOT ENOUGH HYDRANTS

Patrick J. Rocks, former chief OF
the volunteer fire department. has
prepared his recommendations and
working of the department during
his term which will be presented to
the Board of Aldermen Monday
night. The department during the
reign OF Chief Rocks battled with
more fires causing large losses of
property than any other chief Of the
department. During the past fiscal
year about $4,000 has been lost by
fires in dwellings while over s1,-
900, 900 was the total damage at the
Didier-March and Barber Asphalt
plants.
Mr.. Rocks compliments the fire
fighters upon their ability stating
that in no instance has fire spread
from the building in which 1t start
ed. This fact alone will decrease
the insurance rates in this city.
Eight more alarms were sounded
during the past year.
The ex-chief states that at the
present time hose is badly needed
and recommends that 1000 feet be
purchased at once. Two horses
should be attached to the hose wag-
on of Lincoln Engine Company in
stead Of one, and a three horse hitch
should supplant the team now now
drawing the engine Of the same
company are other improvements es-
sential for the betterment of the de-
partment according to Mr.. Rocks.
Auto combination wagons should
be used instead Of the horse attach
ments of Lincoln Engine, Mcclellan
Engine and Washington Hose and
Chemical companies, says the for
mer chief
According to the report of the
factories about this city are not liv-
ing up to the State laws relative to
fire protection. Mr.. Rocks says that
interference Of city officials limited
his power to scene of fires only. The
statement shows that the duties and
power of the chief should be out
lined by the city council. More hy-
drants are needed, especially in the
northern section Of the city, so
states the report of the last chief
Mr.. Rocks also states that box 20,
now stationed at the Raritan Cop
per Works, should be removed to
corner of Smith and Elm streets.
Each engine company to save
time should be equipped with a
flexible hydrant connection and the
fire horses at all times remain with
the apparatus, instead of sprinkling
streets as at the present time, calls
for immediate attention, says Mr..
Rocks in his report.
Mr.. Rocks states that 1t would be
wise to purchase a motorcycle for
the use Of chief in answering
alarms.

TRYING To FIX

DEFEAT WILSON
Conferences Now on in E.
fort to Nominate Candidate
Upon Recovering.

Special By United PreSs Wire.
Baltimore, June 29.-Boss Muir

figure in the badly muddled situa-
ton in Democratic politics today,
When the convention, wearied with
fruitless balloting for their presi-
Dental candidate, recessed at 1905
o'clock this morning until / o'clock
this afternoon the action was on the
demand of the Tammany leader.
Murphy was up against It. His first
effort to assume the role of a ma
tional leader had resulted in a dead
look. 1t was expected to force furth-
er protracted sessions and may fl
nally result In a brand new deal 80
far as the candidates are concerned.
Murphy Back Pedaied.
The New York leader had steadily
opposed a progressive nominee for
the presidency. He came here pos.
sessed with the idea that Bryan
would try to force himself on the
convention. To eliminate the Ne-
braskan, Murphy backed Judge C.
Parker for the temporary chairman.
ship. He won. Then came the sur
prising Bryan appeal to the country,
The immediate and emphatic re-
spond caused Murphy to back pedal.
He let 1t be known that no plat
form could be constructed that could
be too radical for him. But on the
question of a candidate he balked.
Tammany swung into Harmon's
camp on the first ballot. 1t was
known tht 1t did not intend to re-
main there, 80 the followers of the
other candidates got busy.
New York!s ninety votes would
sound big when dumped into the
cart of the fortunate candidate who
could show Murphy that he could be
his choice. Underwood Is believed
to be, along with Harmon. the deep
down selection of Murphy. But
Bryan's attack on the Alabama law

heated deDials of his hackers.
Encourages Clark Men.
When the Clark forces dickered
with Murphy they found him most
respondent. They had aided him In
the elimination of Bryan and they
pointed to the fact that Bryan was
on record OF fayoring Clark when
he had labored with the Progress
sive stamp.
At the long conference at the
Maryland Club, Murphy agreed to
support Clark. This fact was care

intense agony the man did not lapse

CLARK HAD 549
WILSON 354 ON
TWELFTH VOTE
New York's Ninety to Clark
on Tenth Ballot But Fail
ed to Stampede.

Baltimore, June 20.-As the delegates
to the Democratic national convention
began to arrive at the convention hall
shortly after l o'clock today there were
all sorts Of rumors about deals. The
convention had adjourned at 8;05
o'clock in the morning with Champ
Clark in a commanding lead. 1t looked
for time, after the tenth ballot when
Charles f. Murphy swung New York
into the Clark column, as II the con
ventlon would stampede for the Mis-
sourian.
The Wilson men, however, fought
hard. On the twelfth ballot, the one
taken Just before adjournment, the
vote was: Bryan, l; Kern, /; Marshall,
30; Underwood, 1873; Wilson, 864; Har-
mon, 20; Clark, b49.
Baltimore, June 2e.-Early today the
Democratic national convention was
still deadlocked, with no likelihood of
selection being made. When Charles
#. Murphy threw New York's 90 votes
to Clark on the tenth ballot the situa-
ton frightened for Clark. The Wilson
supporters rallied. however, and on the
eleventh ballot showed gain OF 4
votes, while Champ Clark lost 2.
Efforts were being made when the
twelfth ballot was called to take a re-
cess, but the Clark men were object
ing.
United States Senator Kern was be-
ing talked of as compromise to break
the deadlock.
