FINDING WAY
lcon.inu.d from E.s. D

(Continuod from fu0o ID
Pratt says that so many contracts
have been let that no more cement-
workers are available and much Of
the work will have to be delayed for
a month or so.
Secret Of Activity.
The secret Of the activity among
the Japanese and Chinese Is that their
restaurant licenses expired on July /,
and the Board of Health is refusing
to indorse q renewal until sanitary
precautions have been complied with.
The city and county issues the IL
censes only upon approval OF the
Board of Health.
The law went into effect year ago
last May, having been passed by the
last Legislature. The inspection this
morning shows that most Of. the ORR
entails are doing the improvement
work only under pressure from the
health authorities, and that the con.
ditions of dirt and garbage increase
are almost impossible to overcome
under the present system.
Repeatedly the committee found
that orders given by the Board OF
Health have been ignored. These or
ders have to be given again and
again.
In the dens and alleys and cave
like kitchens back Of the Chinese res
taurants on Maunakea. Beretania,
River and Hotel streets the worst
conditions were found. The premises
Of the Japanese were much more
cleanly than those Of the Chinese.
Danger Of Fire.
Mr.. Won Damn, who Is member OF
the board Of fire underwriters, saw
conditions so dangerous that even the
lay members of the touring party
could understand why most Of the
Insurance companies refuse to write
any large risks at all in this section.
Many kitchens have open fires blaz-
ing within "a few inches Of thin walls
dry as finder and waste paper, fire.
wood and rags dry as dust are flung
in heaps everywhere.
Members OF the central improve
ment committee expressed them
selves after the trip as satisfied that
much Improvement has been made by
Dr. Pratt and the board, and that
there is much more to be done. Some
stated that the inspection system does
not seem to be thorough enough, and
evidently tn Orientals feel that they
can take their time about cleaning up.
DR.. Pratt explained the difficulties
the board has met with and showed
the party that progress is being made
faster and faster as the owners or
lessees of the properties understand
that they can not keep their restau-
rant or rooming-ho license unless
they effect improvements.

ROOSEVELT ON
WILSON SPEECH
Says Democratic Candidate
Mis- states the Facts.
6peoial by United Press Wire.

trinidad, COL, Sept. 19.-Col
Roosevelt today assailed Governor
Wilson for "misstating facts in order
to bolster up an argument. Mr.. Will
san has an entire right to defend his
own platform if he is bold enough
to do so and an entire right to assail
the Progressive PLATFORM" the colo
mel said, but he should confine him
self to telling the facts as they are.
In his speech he stated that the
method now proposed by the Pro-
gresives to regulate trusts was sug-
gested by Gary and Perkins before
the House steel committee and he
suggested that 1t was done to save
the United States Steel Corporation
from the necessity of doing its busi-
ness better than competitors. Each
OF these statements Is not in ac-
cordance with the facts. Not once
only, but again and again in mes
sages to congress l advocated the
methods now advocated by the Pro-
gressives in handling the trust ques-
t1on which is practically the only ap
piled principle applied in the Inter
state commerce act"

The man known to have been VIC

who has begged the police to keep
his identity a secret for business
purposes and personal reasons. He
told the story of the swindle to the
police and Detective Sergeants Huff

He said the swindler appeared we'll

store in bold manner and asked to
see some cigars. After spending al
most half an hour looking up a suita-
BILE brand, he purchased a box and
rendered check for $25 on the

1t was made out to the order of

CATCH ONE OF
H0LD-UP PAIR
Woodbridge Man Is Arrested
--On Others Trail

Charles Durham, of Woodbridge,
one of two alleged robbers and hold
up men believed to be responsible
for many crimes that have been com
mitted in this city, Woodbridge and
vicinity this summer, is in the
clutches of the police and the appre-
hension of his partner in crime is
expected momentarily. Dunham was
captured in Woodbridge through the
efforts of Detective Sergeants Huff
and Long, who have been trailing
both of the fugitives since Abraham
Weiss, of 202 New Brunswick ave-
nue., was held up, beaten and robbed
of SIT at Maurer on August 80, and
is now out on bail. The men are
accused Of this crime as workmen in
nearby factories saw and identified
them as they fed across Woodbridge
creek towards Sewaren.
The police of this city are gather
ing evidence against the two young
men in an endeavor to prove that
they are responsible for numerous
thefts committed here, in Wood
bridge, Sewaren and South Amboy.
Enough evidence is on hand to In
sure indictments, it Is claimed.
Dunham and his pal were desper-
ate as amateur holdup men, as was
shown when they held a crowd of
pursuers at bay at the point of re-
volvers soon after Weiss had been
robbed. With their weapons the al
legged thieves drove the crowd back
SO that they could make their escape
across the Central railroad bridge
ovar Wynndbridpa craeL
Because he aided the police and
has furnished them with informa-
tion Durham has been released on
bail in the amount of $500. His
brother appeared as bondsman.

WAIT FOR TIDE
TO SET BRIDGE
Engineering Feat Successful
ly Made at Cheesequaks.

South Amboy, Sept. 19:-After q
wait Of hours for the tide to become
Of sufficient height to be utilized as
a means of transportation, the draw
bridge over the Cheesequakes creek
was foated up stream to its new
resting place at 1880 o'clock this
morning in the presence of Free
holder Alfred T. Kerr, of this place;
the NEWS correspondent and sever
al other interested eye-witnesses.
The Owego Bridge Company, which
has the contract for the erection of
a new bridge over the creek, handled
the arrangements without a mishap
The drawbridge was removed from
it's old site to the temporary struc-
ture to make room for the erection
of the new bridge, which will have
a lift draw and will be more up-to-
date in many particulars. The tenn
porary structure is about fifty feet
up stream from the old bridge site,
and has been so strengthened that
trolley traffic can be accommodated.
The Jersey Central has extended it's
lines to the temporary bridge, and
will probably resume traffic, which
was interrupted by the removal of
the draw early this morning, by to-
morrow, at least. Passengers on
this trolley line will be transferred
in the meanwhile.
Removing the structure was an
engineering feat of no mean ability.
Scows were placed under the draw
and when the tide came In lifted the
structure of the abutments. 1t was
then fOated up stream to Its present
resting place, where 1t will remain
until the completion of the new
bridge. A number of repairs must
necessarily be made to the swing
draw before 1t will be ready for use.
1t is expected that boats will be able
to navigate the creek by tomorrow,
at least. Freeholder Kerr was on
the scene the greater portion of the
night and assumed personal SUPER
vision of the work.

At least one local business man is

means of a new form of worthless
check swindle that has Just been in

MUST KEEP IN
PROPERTY LINE
Buildings Must Not Extend
Out Over Sidewalk on
Main Streets.
VIOLATE CITY ORDINANCE
inspector Mckamara Orders
Removal of Window at
Smith and King SITS.

Display windows may not be pro-
jected over the building line on
principal streets in the future. Build
ing Inspector Mcnamara contends
that under the law he is empowered
to prevent the constru~ of build
ings when they become unsightly
and cause obstruction and he in
tends to stop the building of ordi-
nary boX-style windows over the
sidewalk. His first act In that re-
spect was to order work stopped on
a display window under construction
on the front Of store at SO Smith
street, The contractor has removed
the frame box that was constructed
and replaced the window as 1t was
formerly, making it flush with the
building line.
Acting Mayor Garretson became
interested in the question after the
work had been stopped. Together
with the building inspector he scour-
ed city ordinances and records in
quest of authority. Mr.. Mcnamara
found a clause in the building code
which he contends gives him power
to stop such work. He intends to
exercise such rights and will pre-
vent further construction of such
display windows when they encroach
on city property. This act will have
no bearing on windows already con-
structed.
When plans were filed for altera-
tions and improvements in the build
ing at SO Smith street no provision
was made for a change of store
front. City authorities at once OBJ
jected to the display windows that
were being erected and Mr.. McNa-
mara ordered the work stopped
pending an investigation.
