COMPARISON OF CASES LAST THREE MONTHS.


Of applications for naturalization pa
pers, besides other county court
work. Fifteen applications for ad-
ministration of estates were filed
with the surrogate since December
against twenty-sight from the re-
mainder Of the county and four came
from outside of the county. This
city and surroundings furnished
seven Of forty-eight applications
filed with the surrogate for probate
of wills. Woodbridge, Port Reading
and Roosevelt supplied fourteen OF
the liquor license matters in the
county court since December 10, as
twenty-seven from the remaining
parts of the county, exclusive OF the
cities.
Minutes of the court Of common
pleas show the following number

Perth Amboy. South Amboy, Keas-
bey, Port Reading and Roosevelt.
While not included in the Perth
Amboy column, cases from townA
along the Amboy division OF the
Pennsylvania railroad could be tried
here more conveniently than at New

LAWYERS SIGN
PETITION FOR
COURT HOUSE
Document Placed In Circula-
tion Today by Counselor
StremIau..Many In Favor
WILL BE PRESENTED TO
BOARD OF FREEHOLDERS
Names of Hundreds of Citi-
zens Will bs Secured by
Isaac AIpsrn.

Believing that branch Of the coun
ty court at this place would conduce
to the welfare OF the members OF
the bar and that it would, also, re-
dound to the best interests of the
citizens of Perth Amboy and suburb
an communities, Emil Stremlau,
prominent and energetic lawyer here,
this morning began circulating Pc
tition directed to the Board OF Free
holders asking them to take the nee
essary steps to procure for this city
a branch Of the county tribunal.
Mr.. Stremlau will get the sigma
lures of all the lawyers who have
declared themselves In favor OF the
proposition. The document will also
be open for signatures OF as many
public minded and energetic citizens
as desire to aid the cause. His idea
is to put the legal fraternity on
formal record as heartily endorsing
the project. The petition will in a
short time be forwarded to the
Board of Freeholders.
I. Alpern, of the prominent real
estate firm Of Alpern and Company
In Smith street, announced at noon
today that he will devote several
days OF his time to gaining the sig
natures of business men, merchants,
real estate dealers, etc, for the petit
ton started this morning by Lawyer
Emil Stremlau. When Mr.. Strem-
lau gets the names of the members
OF the bar in the city on the petit
ton, Mr.. Alpern will take up the doc
ument and secure the signatures OF
hundreds of representative citizens
doing business and owning property
in the city.
Mr. Alpern is in favor of anything
that would tend to develop the city.
He says a branch court house would
be a great thing for the community
and be means of increasing this
place to more of trade center by
bringing in patrons from the subur-
ban districts. He believes that the
expense attached to the elimination
Of the proposition would be very
small considering the amount oI
time, trouble, expense and inconven-
ience which the business men and
taxpayers generally would save by
the institution here.
He believes that someone should
take up the matter, and that every
body's business is nobody's business,
so intends to do all in his power to
work up the public sentiment which
he believes is only necessary for the
establishment Of the branch court
house.

CAUSE OF THE
SLOW CLOCKS
Loosen Guy Wire In New
Brunswick Avenue

Western Union Telegraph clocks
throughout this city and the official
time clock of the city were again
three minutes slow today, following
crossing of wires on New Bruins
wick avenue, which almost killed a
telegraph operator In the Central
railroad station several days ago.
Some person either bent on mischief
making or one who, for his own bene-
fit attempted to NEEDLE with wires
on New Brunswick avenue near the
Central railroad tracks, loosened a
guy wire, which was allowed to drop
down on other wires. among them
the Western Union clock wires. Soon
afterward w. e. Coe, of Red Bank,
telegraph operator at the Central
station touched the telegraph appa-
ratus and was knocked senseless on
the floor of the ticket Office. Ap-
proximately $500 volts had been
shot through his body. 1t was some
time before he could be revived.
Owing to the fact that the West
ern Union concern has but q single
caretaker for a very long stretch Of
Its clock wires, difficulty has been
experienced and time has been lost
In making repairs to make the West
ern Union clocks In this city correct.
At noon today, the clock at police
headquarters, which regulates the
three fire alarm taps at o'clock
nights, was slightly more than three
minutes slow.

Argument for the establishment
of a branch county court here is we'll
supported by the foregoing table OF
statistics. The figures show that
large portion of the county causes
come from this city and the inme-
diate vicinity, from which people
find it both tedious and expensive to
travel. 1t Is pointed out that jurors.
lawyers, witnesses and others who
find occasion to use the court house,
must waste practically an entire day
IL they are called from this city or
vicinity to New Brunswick. The ride
by trolley car consumes more than an
hour and cars run but every half
hour. The table of figures herewith
shown gives the number OF cases
from Perth Amboy and vicinity, and
for the remainder of the county.
The first column marked Perth Am
boy and vicinity, takes in causes
from this city, South Amboy, Wood
bridge, Port Reading, Roosevelt and
Sewaren.
In the matter of circuit court cases
the number for this section exceeded
that for the remainder OF the county
by five In the past term, nine out OF
thirteen cases listed since December
10 coming from either this city or
the immediate vicinity. Thirty-eight
criminal cases listed since the open
ing of the term on December 10,
came from this city, as against forty
three from New Brunswick and the
remainder Of the county. Four cases
were brought from outside OF the
county. Six Of the twenty-one su-
preme court cases from this city or
vicinity and the remaining fifteen
from the balance OF the county. The
number Of common pleas appeals
filed from this city and vicinity was
twelve. being the same number as
was filed from the remainder OF the
county.
Likewise did this city and neigh
boring places furnish a good portion
of orphans court cases, applications
for liquor licenses outside OF cities
in which excise boards are located,
and a heavy portion Of the number

the intention of Mayor Garretson and
the Council to put up as brilliant
fight for the removal of the crossings
in this city as is possible. To that
end the city fathers invite the public
to make any suggestions they may
have concerning Ideas and to men.
don specific cases of accidents, de-
lays, or other inconvenience encount-
cred at grade crossing in the city.
Such information will gladly be re-
ceived by Mayor Garretson.
Mayor Garretson's suggestion for
the elimination OF the crossings in
question is to depress the Central
line through this city and to allow
the Lehigh Valley tracks to remain
where they are, and to have the Le-
high Valley company built viaducts
over its tracks at Washington street
and New Brunswick avenue. AS the
railroad must bear all the expense,
ne would have 1t pay for any depre-
citation that such Viaducts might
cause to property adjoining the
crossings. as the Viaducts would have
to be extended some distance from
the tracks, to make gradual slope
to the street surface.

z HOUR SHIFT FOR
COPS IS NOT LIKELY

An effort on the part of some pa
trolmen to secure three eight-hour
shifts daily has completely lost IA
vor among the day men. 1t became
known at a meeting of the Patrol
mems Benevolent Association last
night that the night force is alone
in the movement. Patrolmen Timo-
thy ]. Quinlan and l.. C. Jensen, the
only day men on the committee in
charge of the preparatory work. re-
signed last night. Patrolmen Hugh
Steed and Joseph Gutowski, of the
night force, were appointed in their
places to make up the committee of
five. Under the proposed scheme,
there would be three shifts daily and
the men would be shifted about to
alternate In working days and nights.

To REDIVIDE
POLICE BEATS
81 Men on Force kow--NeW
Cops Observing.

With the addition of John F. Muir
ray and William A. Clooney the
city's police force has swel)ed to
larger proportions than ever before
in the history of the city. The de-
partment is now composed of thirty
one men. The largest number of
men eyer on the force previously was
twenty-nine. This means a redivis-
ion of posts, by which the city Is to
be generally benefited. The new pa
trolmen began active duty last night.
They turn out in plain cloths, not
yet having received uniforms. Muir
ray began observing in company with
Patrolman Gutowski in the North
Amboy section. Clooney started OBJ
serving under the direction of Pat
rolman Rymarczyk about Amboy and
Brace avenues.
The present day force is sufficient
ly large under the circumstances,
Chief Burke declares. The only
change to be made shortly effecting
this, may be the return of Patrol
man John Martin to night duty and
the shifting of Patrolman George
Kuzusko to day work. Martin was
recently put on days after a serious
illness, because his physician ad-
vised him to be out during the day
only. Chief Burke believes he has
recuperated sufficiently to return to
night duty. Consequently, Kozusko,
who has been longer on the night
shift than any of the other present
night men and longer than Martin
was, will be put on days.
Under the new plans Patrolman
Charles Quinn will probably be re-
lieved of the State street portion
of his beat and caused to patrol
Smith street, from State street east
ward. Patrolman William Calvin
will probably be kept on the Smith
street beat, from State street west
ward to the Central railroad tracks.
Kozusko will probably patrol State
street, from Smith street northward
until he is put on day duty. After
that Patrolman Joseph Hartung may
be given the State street post at
night.
