FOG IN BATTLE
WITH TRAFFIC

Traffic on land and water was
practically tied up early this morn
ing, during one of the heavy fogs
that has hung over this section. The
ferryboat Tottenville, plying be-
tween this city and Staten Island,
that was taken away yesterday to be
overhauled at the Staten Island rail-
road shops, at Clifton, Staten Island,
had considerable difficulty in making
the trips across the sound. The fog
was SO thick that at times it was
impossible to distinguish an object
ten feet ahead of the boat.
Only train trips were being made
during the early hours and most all
of them were from half hour to an
hour late. A number of people from
this city, working at the S. s. White
Dental Works at Prince Bay, missed
the train that connects with that
boat and rather than go in to work
late returned home again. The COM
muters were forced to wait until af-
ter 8 o'clock for the 7 80 express.
Trolleys in the early hours were
running slow to avoid accidents and
pedestrians had much difficulty in go
ing about.

Ipecial to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to tho EVENING NEWS.
Metuchen, Nov. 22:-For some
months Herbert Vinger, popular
young man of this town, les been
paying attention to Jessie Hullings,
the pretty sixteen-year-old daughter
OF Jesse Hullings, who is superin-
tendent OF the Walter Williams
estate. They had asked their parents
consent to marriage, but had been
refused because of their youth.
Vinger is but twenty years of age.
Yesterday morning both left their
homes, the girl ostensibly going ON
an errand and the young man to his
studies at the local school When
neither one returned last night and it
was learned that both had taken
train from the Pennsylvania station,
the police here and in Railway were
notified, but nothing of their where
abouts Is known as yet.
Mr.. Vinger, when seen this morn
ing, was very much perturbed over
the elopement and said that he would
take steps to have the marriage
annulled when the couple returned
here. Mrs. Hullings is now under
the care of a physician, bordering on
a state of nervous prostration. Mr..
Hullings also is opposed to the match
and is making every effort to locate

LONG SOUGHT BY MEN

Women's hat fancies, although
somewhat ridiculed, are to benefit
the city by accomplishing a relief
which has long been sought by men.
Because these adornments of millin-
cry fashions have risen, awnings
and all other similar distractions on
sidewalks and streets must likewise
go skyward, under an order about
to be issued by Mayor Ferd Garrett
son. Complaints have long been
made concerning low-hanging avn
ings, particularly on State and
Smith streets. Fancies, as the new,
slender projections on women's hats
are called, have suffered. They have
been broken in some instances, and
badly mutilated In others. AS a re-
suit there have been several COM
plants with urgent requests for re-
lief of late. Mayor Garretson re-
ceived number and as a conse-
quence has decided the distractions
must be raised. He is preparing let
ters, to call the attention of mer-
chants to an ordinance concerning
awnings and street distractions, and
to request that they abide by it to
some degree.
Awnings Go Up.
The ordinance in question is obso-
lete, in that 1t was framed to deal
with people who use the
wooden covering, extend
ing from property line to the curb. 1t
provides that ownings and the like
must be at least ten feet from the
surface or the sidewalk, If they do
not extend to the curb line, and nine
feet up from the curb line, If they
do extend to that point. 1t is not In
tended to force the ordinary canvas
and similar awnings, which do not
extend to the curb, ten feet from the
sidewalk, but they must be raised
to some degree of reasonableness,
declares the mayor. For long
line, mems hats, particularly opera
1ats and derbies have suffered from
he effects of humping into low-hang
ng awnings. The mayor states there
ire several awnings on State street,
which are serious nuisanecs. 1t Is
pointed out that owners had better
comply with the mayors request, for
otherwise the authorities may take
4 notion to enforce provisions of the
ordinance to the letter. In that
went, it would become certain that
he nuisance would end, once and
or all time, no matter what extrem-
ties devolved upon women's head
year.

HOLDS KISH FOR
GRAND JURY
Mrs. Szucs and Louis kish
In Jail Following Arrest on
Grave Charges
DESERTED HER BABY

Inidelity caused a mother and
father in two families to be sent to
Jail to await the action of the grand
jury last night. The woman, Mrs.
Esther Szucs, twenty-five years old q,
of 1S Washington street, New Bruns-
wick, is being held in default of $500
bail on charge of abandoning a
three months old baby. Louis Kish,
thirty-one years old, of Cortlandt
street, this city, is being held In de-
fault of $500 on charge of adultery
The double arrest was made by
Detective Sergeant Long after the
woman had abandoned her child at
the boarding house of its illegitimate
father at 697 Catherine street. She
went there several days ago and ask
ed Mrs. Julia Copsko to hold the in
FAINT. When she failed to return, the
police were notified. Following
three-day search, which led to
Metuchen, Bonhamtown, New Bruins
wick and this city, Officer Long, aid
ed by Sergeant Dunn, of New Bruins
wick, nabbed the woman at her home
in the county seat town yesterday.
Kish was lured to police headquar-
IefS last ul6uI uuueT d IuSe anu was
promptly arrested by Long. He ad
mitted that he had wife and three
children living in Europe. Mrs.
Szucs said she had been deserted by
her husband and had a two-year-old
child living in New Brunswick
Accompanying the pair to jail
went the child in question, and Mrs.
Copsko was lauded by Chief of Police
Burke for caring for the infant as
she had. He said the county would
probably recompense her.

MAY DEMAND
PAID FIREMEN
Inspection Of Fire Hazards
by Fire Underwriters May
DispIacs Volunteer Dept.
INVESTIGATION UNDER WAY

An inspection of fire hazards in
this city, now being made by the
National Association of Fire Under
writer's, has given rise to the belief
among city officials that a paid fire
department will be demanded to re-
place the present volunteer depart
ment If Insurance rates are to be
kept down. Inspectors of the asso-
citation, who have been here for the
past several days, have let 1t be
known to certain city officials, that
conditions are not as favorable as
they should be. 1t is understood
that exception is taken to the al
legged lack OF fire hydrants, the great
number of frame buildings, congest-
ed conditions in many parts and the
presence OF numerous aerial lines,
which handicap fire fighting.
The inspection now under way, is
a most thorough one. Attention Is
paid to the most minute details,
which concern fire risks. The loca-
t1on, size and general conditions
about every structure is being OBJ
served, and particular attention is
paid to determine the proximity of
to fire houses and hy-
drants. In connection with making
these determinations, the inspectors
and their chief have spent much
time taking records in the water de-
partment the past few days. They
propose to start inspection of plumb
ing on Monday.

Oil Magnates Fighting.
BpeofuI by United Press wfrs.

Washington, Nov. 22:- Because
the rival oil interests in Mexico are
openly assailing each other, the adj
ministration was hopeful today. 1t
was felt that the attack made on
Henry C. Pierce by Lord Cowbray,
chief owner of the big British oil
trust would greatly aid this govern
ment in forcing Huerta out. The
better class of Mexicans, the Presi-
dent and Secretary Bryan believe,
will now realize that much of the
financial strength of the men respon-
sible for the continual warfare in
Mexico comes from men who want
to benefit their own pocketbooks.
The situation at Tuscan is much
improved. Admiral Fletcher's curt
mote" to General Aguilar that he
would be held personally responsible
for damage to any of the enormous
oil wells here, brought instant re-
suits. The rebels general sent word
that property as we'll as human rights
would be protected, and 1t is now be-
lieved there will be NO immediate
necessity for landing marines.

President Wilson Keeps Fu||v In.

special by United Press wire.

Special by United Press Wire.
Vera Cruz, Nov. 22:-An entirely
Illuminating explanation of the much
discussed complacency of President
Wilson in connection with the Mexi-
can situation was furnished the
United Press here today. The expla-
nation came from an authority that
could not be questioned. 1t is simply
that for several weeks past Huerta
has been drinking heavily and a
number of occasions he has been,
according to reports made to Wash
ington, entirely irresponsible. Real
izing that no Importance can be
attached to the work of a drunken
man, Washington, with daily reports
at hand as to Huertas condition, has
simply matched up the Huerta state
ment with the Huerta condition and
let it go at that. 1t Is said the Huerta
fire-eating has been uniformly coin
cidental with the Huerta drinking.
Detailed reports of Huerta's per-
sonal habits have been furnished
Washington through John Lind and
Nelson Shaughnessy, their reports
being based on minute observations
of American military attaches with
Huerta's army and later on the re-
ports of secret agents. One report
stated Huerta was in the habit Of
drinking champagne with breakfast
and topping it off with cognac.
In pursuant of the fixed policy of
the American government of keeping
the situation clear and avoiding
every possible chance of crisis, John
Liifd today advised Professor Tosser,
the Harvard archaeologist, against
proceeding to Mexico City with his
wife and advised that he drop his re-
search work in Mexico for the pres
ent. with conditions in Mexico City

NEED HOSPITAL
FOR ISOLATION
Hsa|th Officer Wi|IseY Will
Lay the Facts Before Board
at Next Session.
INCREASE OF DISEASES

That there Is a pressing need for
an isolation hospital in this city for
contagious diseases, and that to be
without such an institution is not
conducive to the best sanitary condi-
tions obtalnable, will be the state
ment which Health Officer Willsey
will make to the members of the
Board Of Health, at their regular
meeting Tuesday night, according to
an announcement made by that otfi-
cial today.
Since November 1, says the health
officer, there have been twenty cases
of diphtheria and two of scarlet fe-
yer, an increase of fifty per cent over
the cases reported in October. Two
patients have died. He believes that
the increasing population and the
high birth rate here makes such ac-
tion imperative at once and he will
strongly advocate favorable action
on the part of the board.
Following his observations made
of conditions here for nearly year,
Willsey claims that rigid quarantine
cannot be enforced without hardship.
The isolation of patients in the con
gested tenement houses is almost i'm
possible, as has been proven several
times to the officials of the board.
Many, he says, do not believe that
these two prevalent diseases, diph-
iberia and scarlet fever, are conta-
gious, and doubt the efficiency of an
titoxin as a preventative and cure.
AS a result there are numerous
deaths which might be prevented, if
the patients could be taken to an
isolation hospital and there undergo
good treatment. At the same time
the spread of the disease would nat
urally be prevented by the removal
of the infected persons.

Upset Lamp, a Pair of Sas.
pendsrs, an Electric Bulb,
Causes Great Damage
ESTIMATED LOSS $1,000
Workman Was Testing New
Suspenders When He Knock
ed Over Kerosene Lamp

A burned-out electric bulb, pair
of new suspenders and an upset
lamp, 1t is said, caused the store OF
Mrs. Lottie Crane, at $50 Smith
street, to be gutted by fire last night
which also threatened to destroy the
seven frame stores in the same block
The quick arrival of the firemen con-
fined the flames to the store and two
living rooms in the rear. The struc-
ture is the third in a one-story block
of frame stores in upper Smith street
owned by Pierce & Son. The stock
of the store, valued at 5000 by the
owner, was a total loss, one of the
rear bedrooms gutted and anoth er
dan1SSed by water. The damage to
the buifStng Is estimated at 5000,
and damage to the stock and furni-
ture at $1,000, the amount of insur-
ance carried by the owner. The in
terror of two stores adjoining the
burned place on either side was
slightly damaged by water.
According to the accounts of
Samuel Crane, husband of the own
er of the store, to Fire Chief O'Hara,
he had been redressing the front
window Of the drygoods and notions
store about $50 In the afternoon
when it became dark and his wife
tried to turn on an electric light.
Electric Lights Out.
The ailments in the electric bulb
were burned out. however, and the
place continued In partial darkness.
Crane left the store for bulb, while
his wife fetched kerosene lamp
from the kitchen, lighted and placed
it on one of the glass counters. A
workman came in for pair of sus-
penders. He was shown a pair, and
the man, in testing their elasticity,
spread them out at arms length. In
doing so his right arm struck the
lamp, which fell through the frail
glass counter and set afire the flimsy
gauze inside. 1t is said the prospec-
tive purchaser seemed to think he
was guilty of a crime, and made
rapid exit through the door. Mrs.
Crane dashed several pots of water
on the frames and G. Cutter, barber
next door, ran In and assisted, cut
ting finger severely on the glass
counter.
Flames Spread.
The fire spread and the whole
store was soon ablaze, dresses, caps,
aprons, petticoats and other furnish
1ngs forming good material for the
flames. They leapt through the door,
followed by big volumes of smoke.
Jacob Miller, of 331 Smith street,
saw the blazing store and ran to box
Ga, at Smith street and Watson ave-
nue., and gave the alarm. The fire.
men were soon on the scene and kept
the flames from spreading to the
other six stores In the block,

FOR
NIGHT LICENSE
Claim Dances Are Unprofi-
table Without Liquor Sale
and Want | Night Permit.
IMPOSSIBLE SAYS BURKE

Asserting that dances and similar
affairs cannot be conducted at a
profit because liquor cannot be sold
at them, several prominent members
Of number of foreign societies of
this city are framing a petition for
one-night liquor licenses. They
would have such privileges extend
ed to boni fide corporations, which
would receive not more than two
such licenses year, at cost of SIS
or $40 each. In this way, they as
sert, that branch of the liquor traffic
would be legalized and money could
thus be made by sick and death
benefit societies and other organiza-
tions which need 1t.
Chief OF Police Patrick J. Burke
declares 1t cannot be done until the
legislature has changed the statute
books. He declares an excise board
Ia devoid of power to grant one
night licenses, and has been inform
ed that movement Is under way to
have the state excise laws amended
SO as to make 1t possible. The chief
deplores such move, as have Off
cials of other municipalities, because,
he claims, such legislation would be
abused. He asserts bars would per-
haps be used at all kinds of affairs,
including athletic exhibitions, ball
games, circuses, and the like, If
one-night or one-day licenses were
granted.
Members of the Perth Amboy So
cieties, mostly Hungarian, who are
furthering the idea, state they de-
sire only such legislation as would
benefit legitimate and Incorporated
so as to aid them f.
They would have the
privilege SO controlled that 1t would
not concern all kinds of societies,
which might be formed only for the
purpose OF holding public affairs.
Their petition is scheduled to be-
placed In circulation within the next
week
