and they gave Roosevelt the hottest
sort of a reception. There were
probably 1000 per ons damned in
the building, and though they swell
tered their enthusiasm held strOng
until the last word of the speech was
delivered. In the street there was
an overflow meeting which was ad-
dressed by Everett Colby, former
Senator of Essex county. Roosevelt
talked to them after finishing the
big speech and told them to vote
with him on next Tuesday and Wen
put them over the ropes" There
were approximately 1000 in the
street meeting and their enthusiasm
was as strong as that of the larger
crowd in the armory.
Roosevelt reached the armory at
$50 and was received with a mighty
shout. He eyed with amusement @
roop in which was suspended a hat,
hanging in front of the speakers
table. Then, picking up the pitcher
of water and glasses, he set them on
the floor, while the thousands were
shouting and cheering. Gathering
up the flag that covered the table,
he handed it to a committeeman. He
bounded upon the table. and throw
ing up his right arm, shouted,
"Iiurrah, boys,'
The cheering started all over and
it continued for five minutes after he
appeared on the platform. When
the enthusiasm settled down he
began. My Friends"
My Friends"
Were all your friends" shouted
a voice.
You're all right, Teddy" said an
other loud voice.
Sure, and New Jersey is all
right" answered the Colonel with
the Roosevelt grin. At this point
the band struck into "Therell Be a
Hot Time in the Old Town To
night Roosevelt kept time with
the band and the crowd sang the
tune. Borden d. Whiting, RoOse-
welt State Committeeman, warned
the Colonel the table was shaky
Turning to the audience, he caused
a big laugh with the announcement
They say my platform is falling un.

BILE"
In his speech Saturday night he
interjected this thrust at the Pres
ident: Il see that Mr.. Taft says he is
| going to win. Well, during the Ohio
campaign he announced hat the de
cision of Ohio would settle it. Ohio
has decided and has given me40 on
of its AS votes. II Mr.. Taft is con
tent with that decision, then surely
no human being in all the United
States has the right to de discon-
tented"

ASPHALT PLANT IS
CRIPPLED BY FIRE
Continued from page IL

Continued from page IL
BY the local firemen, owing to the
| dense volume of smoke which could
be seen for miles.
The company's fire fighters were
handling the situation as best they
could until the local companies ar
rived. On top of the burning build
ing and on the crane bridge lead
ing to it at least thirty workmen
were situated. Without warning the
top of the building gave way and the
men CHANGED their lives by jumping
to the ground, thlrty-tive feet below,
or falling into the blazing debris.
Burke was on the crane side OF
the bridge when he jumped. Land
ing on a mass of blazing ttmbers,
he sustained burns and a wound In
his head, besides cuts and bruises
that will conine him to the hospital
for a week at least. Sewer, VINO
Jumped, is suffering from a spralned
risht ankle and his left hand Is also
burned. Jane Lame, of Inslee street,
when jumping hit a piece OF IRON
and his back is wrenched. DR.. VIII
liam e. Ramsay was called ana
dressed the mems injuries.
The fire fighters worked like de-
mons until 6 o'clock then the flames
died away. About 5 o'clock when
the flames shot high into the air
people numbering thousands, who
were on hand watching the fire,
stood aghast as the big iron crane
fell to the ground, pulling with 1t a
part of the bridge. 1t was a ques-
ton of seconds. One of the local
hremen heard the creaking sounds
and shouted. No sooner had the
space been cleared than the~huge
litter crashed to the ground.
The building, although construct
ed of iron is a total wreck. So
great was the heat OF the fire that
the supports holding the stills IN
the air, broke allowing them to set
tie in the burning mass. With a
roar the asphalt spilled into the pit
and again the flames shot way into
space. The fire fighters were or
dered away from the building, owing
to the heat. Several Of the tremen
were slightly burned and Jack Fftz-
patrick fell from the Mcclellan En-
CINE Co. in answering the alarm and
hurt the back of his head.
In some unknown way the blazing
asphalt and tar spread about the
factory and threatened other build
lngs. At this point superintendent
barrow set a gang of men at work
entrenching the building from
where the blazing material was run
ming. Water had no effect and the
more poured on the larger the vol
ume of smoke. Many people were
on the Staten Island shore watching
the fire.
In the history of the city the fire
men have never had q more siren
uous time at fires than Saturday.
Members of Lincoln Engine Com
pany were In their headquarters
only two hours after the Keasbey
fire, when the alarm from box 90,
at Maurer was sounded.
Daniel Ford, a member of Eagle
Hose and Chemical company, had a
narrow escape while proceeding to
the fire on the hose wagon of Lin
coin Engine company. Ford, with
William P. O'Hara, was sitting on
the side of the. apparatus when 1t
crossed the railroad siding at
Maurer. The jolting loosened the
poles and Ford fell backward land
ing on his head. O'Hara shouted to
Driver Hanrattie to stop the wagon.
Ford was dazed by the fall and when
picked up was within three inches
of the hind wheels Of the apparatus.
