Narrow Escapes.

A two-alarm fire in the factory Of
the Wiener Barnet Company. at S2s
Adams street. shortly before o'clock
today put the fire department on its
mettle to fight it. The plant consists
of two buildings. one of brick and
the other of wood.
The fire started in the foundry of
the building. which was the frame
affair.
When the firemen arrived they were
obliged to bend every effort to keep
the blaze from spreading to the ad-
joining brick building and frame
houses near by The blaze was
caused by a pot of brass boiling over.
Several of the men narrowly IS
capped injury, but all succeeded in
getting out safely.
For a time several of the houses
in the neighborhood were also threat
ened. and in fact a house in Van
Buren, street caught fire from a
spark but-the blaze was soon extin-
guished.
The concern is the same that had
the big fire on =, ''- sew

TALK OF DEAL IN
| DR.. MARKEN'S
Allegation Made Physician Ap.
preached Democrats with
Plan for Confirmation.

In an effort to get the three Demo-
cratic members of the Board of Free
holders to vote to confirm his tenn
porary appointment as interne at the
Overbrook Hospital for the Insane,
DR.. Edward " Markens is alleged
to have promised to use his influence
with two Republican members of the
board to obtain salary increases for
at least three Democrats in the coun-
~ employ.
The proposition was at once turned
down by the Democratic employees
approached by Markens. and the in
formation that the proposition had
been made was given to Freeholder
John H. Waters, of BelleviIle, who
with Emmett Quinn and Fred c.
Steck constitute the minority mem
bership of the board. Mr.. Waters
being the leader
Mr. Waters admitted today that he
knew some such proposition as al
legged had been made. and stated that
it had been made to the three Demo-
cratic off1ceholders by Markens in
practically these words: IF you will
see Waters and get him TO get the
members of the minority to vote to
confirm me. ii viii be arranged that
the members of the minority can have
anything they want"
According to the information given
to Mr.. Waters. the matter of salary
increases was not directly mentioned.
but the request that the three men.

vions to the meeting of the Board Of
Freeholders a week ago today. when
the salary Increases were acted upon.
At that time. with three exceptions,
no officeholders drawing more than
81. 500 yearly We're given increases.
Applications for increases were in
for the three men approached by
Markens. One was in the class
drawing over s1.50o a year and. OF
course. did not get an increase. One
man drew less than 81, 500 a year. but
was not among the lucky ones, while
an increase of $3.50 year was given
the third man.
Markens was given a temporary
appointment as inferno at Overlook
about two weeks ago by Ernest E..
EXf0aA. CHdiIIndI Qt liiC AltStlltca
committee of the Board of Freehold
ers. The appointment at once aroused
storm of protest. owing TO an in
cident in the physicians past life,
and at the present time only two
members of the Board of Freeholders
are known to favor the confirmation
of the temporary appointment They
are Chairman Ryman and Richard
F. Malta, who is also member OF
the hospital committee.
The persons said to have been ap-
preached by Markens have kept mum
on the matter, except to report II TO
Freebooter Waters. with request
that the proposition be turned down.
1T is pointed out that Freeholders
Ryman and Malta, who are known
to be favorable TO Markens. by vot-
ing with the three Democrats, Wa
ters, Quinn and Steck. would consti-
tute a majority of the board that
could pass any resolutions, salary or
otherwise. favored by the Demo

MAYOR REFUSES
WOOD PAVING 0. K.
Tells Works Board His Opposi-
ton to Material Suggested Is
Firmer That Ever.

4 Calling particular attention to his
Mayor Jacob Haussling today re-
turned to the Board of Works with
out his approval the two resolutions
awarding provisional contracts for
the proposed paving of Broad street
with wood block Sufficient reason
for condemning wood block. he says,
are to be found in his veto of the
resolution directing the chief engineer
to prepare wood block specifications,
adopted by the board several months
ago.
Since then, he says. his conviction
has gathered force rather than weak
ened In the letter accompanying the
resolutions he lays particular stress
upon the fact that one of the reso-
lutions provides for the paving of a
part of the street where the property
owners are very much against such a
proceeding. The section referred to
is below Camp street.
His letter to the board is as fol-
lows:
II return herewith without my ap-
provaI two resolutions adopted by
your honora Bile body on May Is last,
awarding provisional contracts for
the proposed paving of Broad street
with wood block. the one embracing
the three sections of Broad street
beginning at the northerly side OF
Belleville avenue and running to the
southerly side Of South street. and
the other running from the southerly
side of South street to the southerly
side of Pointer street.
With respect to the first men
toned resolution l would say that my
conviction as to the unwlsdom OF
paving, Broad street with wood block
is so strong that l cannot conscien-
tiously consent to any measure look
ing to that end My conviction has
gathered force rather than weakened
since this proposition in the course
of time has been presented in varied
aspects to my mind, but sufficient
reasons for condemning it are, In my
Judgment, to be found in my veto
of the resolution directing the chief
engineer to prepare specifications
which was adopted by your board
earlier in the year. To that veto
message venture to direct your at
tention again
THE second resolution possesses an
additional objection in the fact that
it provides for the paving of part
of the street where the property
owners are very much against such
proceeding. l understand it to be
the intention of the board to drop
this section IL petition sufficiently
signed is presented against it, but it
seems to me that the obvious oppose
tion of the property-owners should
be recognized without compelling
them to take the time, labor and pos
sibly expense. of securing signers to
a formal petition of protest"

MAY DROP COMPLAINT
AGAINST AUTO DRIVER

The grand jury Is said to have
voted to dismiss the complaint OF
manslaughter against Isaac L. Vol
verton, chauffeur for Fire Chief
Paul J. Moore. following the death
of Miss Marion Moy. who was run
down BY the chiefs automobile At
Broad and Market streets on May ID
This action would be the logical
sequel TO the verdict found by the
eoroner's jury. which heard the tes-
1imeny of the same witnesses who
appeared before the grand Jury. The
coroners jury found that Miss Mox's
death was accidental and refrained
from fixing responsibility.
1t is believed that no further action
will be taken to prosecute the case
against Wolverton.

Foqvler's Stand in
Regard to Parties

Mr.. Fowler does not say
what party emblem he will run
under, but in the main his
platform is progressive.
1t was his ideas on certain.
kind of currency reform that
led to his opposition to Speak
er Cannon and finally to his
defeat for denomination in his
own district for Congress.
While at swords points with
the State leaders of the Re-
publican party, he has held
aloof from the Progressives.
The Republican State plat
form will not be in accord with
Mr.. Fowler's declaration of
principles except in his atti-
>tude toward a judge-made jury
bill.
He has not formally aban-
doned the Republican party
and might be characterized as
a Republican leaning towards
Progressiveism.
