The situation at Perth Amboy
clearly demands the Intervention of
the State authorities. For three
days in succession there have been
pitched battles outside the works of
the American Smelling company,
and every one has been marked -
fatalities. Yesterdays fighting
showed three dead and a dozen
wounded. The policy pursued by
the county authorities of swearing
in detectives from private agencies
as sheriff's deputies Is a dangerous
procedure, as has been shown in
many previous strikes. It Is not as
If residents OF the community were
summoned to aid in the. mainten-
ance of public order. The strikers
fail to recognize the official charac-
ter impaired to these men by their
oath of temporary office. They re-
gard these men as professional
strike breakers in the employ of the
company. Where the presence Of
the State militia would exercise a
quieting effect, the special deputies
recruited outside of the State are
only a source of added irritation.
With the State militia on the spot,
yesterdays fatalities could have
been avoided.-New York Evening
Post.
The strikes in Perth Amboy and
other places by Hungarians and
Slavs and certain others who have
recently come to this country, have
usually shown ignorance of u

PROGRESSING ON PLANS
FOR STATE HIGHWAYS
lFrom the NEWS Correspondent


Trenton, June 1S:-Work is pro-
crossing rapidly upon the prelimi-
nary surveys and the gathering of
the necessary data for the establish
ment of the system of state high
ways. State Road Commissioner
Stevens said today that the surveys
had been completed in Atlantic,
Cumberland and Cape May counties
and that they were well along to-
ward completion in Gloucester,
Salem and Somerset counties. The
information being gathered includes
the location and character of bridges
as well as the general information
of county and township highways.
AS soon as the gathering of the in
formation is completed in the other
counties the State Highway Commits
sion, of which Governor Wilson is q
member, will meet at the governors
cottage at Sea Girt to consider fur
Their steps in the highway work.
The law provides that certain
highways connecting the county
seats and various other main roads
shall be designated as part of the
state system and that then these
roads shall be taken over by the
state and improved and maintained
at state expense, thus relieving the
counties of the further burden of
keeping these roads in repair.

GAME OF DICE
Alleged AssaiIant Under Bail
Mounds Not Fatal.

A stabbing ARRAY was the out
come Of a friendly game of dice yes
terday afternoon in the saloon of
Steve Hutka at Fayette street and
Chapman avenue, in which John
Bullish was slashed three times
about the head and back with a
pocket knife. Mike Kotori, twenty
eight years old, of 337 Chapman
avenue, was placed under $500 bail
to await the action Of the grand
jury on a charge of atroclous as
sault He admitted having loen in
a fight, but claimed he used but a
small pen knife, while Bullish, he
claimed, attacked him with a large
knife.
Bullish Is at his home. The po-
lice believe his wounds will not
prove dangerous unless complica-
tons should develop. Kotor1 was
was arrested in the Remington no.
tel about 4 o'clock by Detective Ser

when the officers entered proved to
the detectives that he was their
man, as he tried to sneak towards

FERRYB0AT CARRIES A

Anyone who happened to be at the
ferry at the foot of Smith street
last night between 1915 o'clock and
the time the 1870 o'clock boat left
this city, would have thought there
was a strike in progress at that
place. There was no strike, it al
only the Staten Island delegates that
came over to the Permo A. C. to see
the Hudson-Mazie contest. It is es-
timated that more than six hundred
from the island came over. When
the ferryboat Perth Amboy pulled
out of the slip on the 1870 o'clock
trip for Tottenyille, it is said hat it
had the largest number of people
on that was ever taken across the
sound on any trip since the ferry
has been established between this

500 or more passengers, there were

PUBLIC OPINION

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
The Titanic disaster has been In
vestigated and the blame placed
upon the dead captain.
Next will be the Perth Amboy dis
aster to be investigated and the
blame put upon whom? The univer-
sal answer will be the foreign ele-
ment." If I should happen to be
upon the Investigating committee l
would place the blame upon the
tariff, which is fostering and pro-
tecting our unfair industries like
the oil trust, the beef trust, the but
ter trust, etc, and these protected
and greedy combinations boost the
price of our necessities 80 high that
an industrious workingman cannot
make a decent living. Then he be-
comes desperate and Is shot down
like a dog Upon the street.
Tear the damnable tariff wall up
on food-stufs down and place It
upon champagne. silks, diamonds
and other luxuries and you will see
less rioting and violence in this be-
loved country of ours. The accursed
beef trust and butter trust and other
| b~lood-sucking monopolies in the
u6CSSSltleS VI lll6 ought " lOOI lie
bill for damages, If any be done.
Apropos damages, a couple Of hun
dred dollars would probably foot the
bill of actual damage to property
and to think that many valuable
~workingmen's lives should be sacri-
feed for this paltry amount!
II makes no difference whether
they be foreigners or natives. They
have been invited to come here to
make an honest living and in trying
to do SO they find their little chill
dren starving and become desperate.
Give them q little bit of q show and
they are peaeable and minu their
own business. We are all brothers
on this little planet of ours and one
Is as good as the other II they dc
right and are being done right by.

AS WELL CLEANED AS ANY SIDEWALK
Defense Made For Walk Where Mary Wells Fell in New Lon
 don-Sut on Trial Now For $1 900 Damages-Argu- ments Will be Made Today.

The superior court came in here on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock for Q continuation of the present term. and the trial of the case of Mary Wells of New London vs. the city of New London was begun. This is a damage suit against the city for injuries suf- fered by the plaintiff, broken left elbow and wrist. for which she asks damages of $1.Ooo. The attorneys are Morgan and Cronin for the plaintiff, and Brennan and Tannar for the de- fendant.
 The fall took place on Feb. 8. 1911, in front of the office of the Globe Pub fishing company. and was due. 1t is claimed, to the dangerous and icy con- ditlan of the sidewalk. for which the city is held responsible and charged with having failed to properly sand and protect the same.
 The jury in the case was selected as follows; Edwin F. Benjamin, Henry Johnson, Preston; Andrew J. Tinker, Griswold; Edward A. Stiles, Edward Jones, Lebanon; William P. Babcock, North Stonington; Leroy Lathrop, Bozrah; Luther Holton, Franklin; Moses Genard, Herbert c. Watson, Sprague; Charles Smith, Lisbon; Charles M. Winchester, Salem.
 The plaintiff, who lives at No. 12 Union street. New London, was the first witness. She is A and makes her living by doing homework. She related the circumstances of the acci- dent and told how the injuries had in- capacitated her from work for a con siderable period. Other witnesses who followed the plaintiff were William D. Cronin, John Byron Sweet, Thomas c.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-27

Dillon. Courtland R. Darrow. Ernest W. Scully, Ethel M. Remington. Lu- cretia H. Pratt.
 The plaintiff rested at 2.35 and the defense was begun by putting on Dr. Harry M. Lee, who testified to the ex- tent of the injuries to Miss Wells. John D. O'Connell, an employe of the Globe Publishing company, testified to the condition of the street and walk. He had cleaned off the walk at various times after snowstorms.
 ! Samuel T. Adams, one of the pro- prietors of the Globe Publishing com pany, testified to hearing the acci- dent on Feb. 8 spoken of by some newsboys and said he knew MT. O'Connell was told to clear off the walk and put ashes on it. The wit ness saw the ashes on the walk and said ashes were put on after every storm and that no sidewalk in New London was better cleaned. He con- tradicted testimony that children used the walk generally for coasting, but he had seen two or three very small chill dren sliding on 1t. MT. Thompson him. self had put ashes on the walk two or or three days before the accident, be- cause the walk was well trodden down and he thought it needed ashes.
 The defense rested at 3.45 after the cross examination of MT. Thompson, and the plaintiff called Miss Wells in rebuttal to ask her If she recognized the witness O'Connell as the one who picked her up. She said she did not.
 Judge Shumway offered the attor- neys opportunity to begin their argu- ments, but they preferred to wait un- til the opening of court this morning.

lieves that the remaining dihiculties in the way of the realization of the hopes of his fellow citizens of New London will be soon overcome.
 Congressman elect Mahan Is in cor dial sympathy with the proposition to revamp the highway commission by substituting a three-headed commis- sion for the present commission. He does not attempt to conceal his per- sonal friendship for Highway Commis- sioner Macdonald, nor that the three- headed commission plan appeals to him because it opens a way for retain ing MT. Macdonald in the service of the state. The trouble with the plan for a three-headed commission Is that 1t has been tried and found wanting When the highway commission was first brought into existence by an act of the general assembly at the session of 1895, the commission consisted of three persons, James H. Macdonald of New Haven. William R. Macdonald of Cromwell and A. c. Sternberg of West Hartford The commission was continued for two years. There was great deal of fault found with its work. It did not seem to give satis- faction. Each commissioner drew S1O a day for actual service and the legis- lature placed at the disposal of the commission the sum of $50,000 to en- able it to go ahead with it's plans for the improvement of the highways of the state. The three commissioners were eager enough to do what they could for the accomplishment of the purpose for which the commission was created. But each commissioner had his own views and he thought too highly of them to surrender them to the opinion of his colleagues The trouble with the commission was there were too many heads. It was seen by the officials of towns and others who had business with the commission that it would be better to have a sin gle headed commission. The old com mission of three was legislated out of existence at the session of 1897 and provision was made for a commission of one person. MT. Macdonald was ap- pointed the commissioner, he being the only member of the original commits sion who was saved from official ex- tinction. Commissioner Macdonald has been the commissioner ever since Even Senator Mahan, with his strong personal friendship for Commissioner Macdonald and his desire to prevent his retirement from the service of the state admits that the work of the de- partment has grown to such propor- tions that the system needs to be re- organiZed
