TERRA GOTTA
MEN AT WORK
Plans for New Buildings Are
Already Underway.

Practically all employees of the
New Jersey Terra Gotta Works,
which was damaged to the extent Of
about $4,000 by fire Sunday
morning, are at work in temporary
quarters and plans are under way for
new and modern factory buildings to
cover the eleven city lots laid bare
by the flames. AS yet the officials
are not prepared to state just what
sort of buildings will be erected, but
they state the land laid bare will be
fully utilized and modern and most
likely fireproof buildings will be
erected thereon.
All the employees willing to accept
the work assigned to them were
given employment when they arriv-
ed at the works yesterday and today.
Most of yesterday was spent in pro-
viding temporary quarters for press
ers. The work of removing debris
preparatory to erecting new build
ings has been started.
The factory officials have not as
yet discovered the origin of the fire
and they doubt it will ever become
known positively.

Despite the fact that coal is higher

1t has been reported as coming from
a dealer that the cost may reach ~
and perhaps $40 ton by Christmas.
When seen, local retailers said they
could not confirm this, but admitted
the price was high and there were
chances of 1t soaring even higher.
One Of the Oldest and most exper-
fenced retailers in the city states the
price may jump at any time without
notice, as 1t has done on previous
occasions, but he expressed doubt
that 1t would reach as high figure
as So q ton before the end Of tho
year. He concluded the prices were
governed by the supply and demand.
In his opinion the miners had some
thing to do with the cost at present
as operators were to certain extent
at their mercy. He said 1t appeared
miners worked when they chose, lay
ing off holidays and such other times
as they saw flt, thereby lessening the
supply. This brought on an increase
In price, the dealer contended. The
fact that fuel was at premium now
he attributed to the scarcity of sup
ply and the strike Of several months
ago. He maintained the supply in
storage had been run low at the time
of the strike and had not since been
overtaken. With a scarcity of coal

WILSON BANNER
FOR THIS CITY
Local Club to Swing 1t at
"Five Corners"

1t is the intention of the Woodrow
Wilson Democratic Club, of this city,
to erect a huge Wilson and Marshall
banner, with pictures, across New
Brunsw. tx avenue, with the ends at
tached to the Flatiron Building, in
which is located the pharmacy OF the
Lauer Drug Company, and the Spltz-
er building. The banner committee
has secured bids on the work from
number of well known New York
firms, and will probably present the
prices at the next meeting of the or
ganizatiOn. The banner will be about
thirty by forty feet in size and will
cost about $125. 1t will bear pic
lures of Woodrow Wilson, for presi-
dent, and Thomas r. Marshall, for
vice president, as well as suitable in
scriptions under the photographs.
According to the "oldest resident"
it will be the first banner hung across
the streets of this city in four years,
at the time of the last presidential
contest. The regular Republicans or
the Progressive contingent have not
taken any steps toward securing ban
ners setting forth the immediate
need of the election of their candi-
dates.

The Roosevelt Club, of this city,
will meet tonight in Moose hall, in
Smith street, at which time a mem
Der of the county executive commit
tee will be named to represent the
club at New Brunswick Saturday af-
ternoon. DR.. George w. Tyrrell was
previously named as the county COM

notified President James e. Griswold
that he has been called to Florida
and Is forced to resign his commits
sion. The delegation to New Bruns-

any size, but is entitled to only one
vote. In all probability Mr.. Griswold
will name a successor to DR.. Tyrrell
at tonight's session.
According to a report from the ar

convention OF the Bull Moose party,
which will be held In the old Y. M.
G. A. hall. New Brunswick, Saturday
afternoon, will be addressed by
Burke Cochran, of New York, one
time Democrat and Tammany hall
congressman. He left that party
when Bryan took the lead. He later
reappeared in Democratic circles but
could not Withstand the prospects Of
getting in on the ground floor of the
new Progressive party. Although he
has not given a definite answer, 1t Is
understood that he will accept the
invitation to address the Roosevelt
enthusiasts in this county.
For Progressive Senator.
There Is much speculation on the
senatorial candidate Of the Progress
sives, although rumors continue to
couple the name OF Judge Lyon, Of
this city, with the plum. He has
positively declined to run and will

Intervention Imminent.
Intervention In Mexico is believed
to be imminent. At any rate, it Is
certain that q crisis has been reached
and that unless the Mexican govern
ment does something within few
days the United States will do some
thing. The Indifference of the Mexi-
can government and It's inability to
cope with the existing situation are
what have brought matters to the
present pass. The apathy Of the
Mexican government was in reality
the impelling force which resulted in
the sharp words of President Taft to
Ambassador Calero and which re-
suited in the ambassador deciding on
a hurried trip from Washington to
the City of Mexico. The intolera BILE
effrontery of the rebels operating
along the border was the immediate
cause. In addition, the stoppage of
all the industries of Mexico by rea-
son of the activities of the revolu-
ZIONIST brigands is another source
Of the exhaustion of the patience of
the United States. Roughly speak
ing, nearly million dollars of
American capital is represented in
these industries, and thousands Of
Americans engaged in them are Sc
riously endangered by attempting to
pursue their efforts to gain a liveli-
hood. In accordance with orders is

situation. The Thirteenth will re-
port to General Steever at Ell Paso,

ton of this additional force as he
