Italian Priest Declares That
Woodbridge Health Authori-
ties Ignore Condition There.
WAS PUT UP TO THE
STATE BOARD
Investigation of the Padrone
System Now on Before the
Grand Jury

Unless some action is taken by the
Board of Health of Woodbridge
township to remedy alleged unsani-
tary conditions in the labor colony
conducted by the De Vito Company
at Port Reading within the next day
or two, Rev. Columbino Galassi will
appeal directly to the State Board of
Health. The priest, who is conduct
ing campaign to improve conditions
generally in the camp, declares the
subject of health conditions should
have been attended to before this
late date. He complained to the
state health authorities several weeks
ago and following an investigation
they referred it to the Woodbridge
Board of Health.
Rev. Galassi believes sufficient
time has been given the Woodbridge
authorities to get busy. He had in
tended to go to Trenton yesterday to
visit DR.. Hunt, the head of the state
health department, but concluded to
defer the action for a few days to
give the Woodbridge health board
ample time to act. Unless there Is
| something done Immediately he will
go before the week is out, he de-
clares.
1t Is evident that the grand jury
is making a detailed investigation of
the padrone system as it has been
conducted at Port Reading. After
two days 1t was not completed, being
continued from last Thursday until
Thursday, october 30.
Rev. Galassi has worked actively
to bring about this probe by the
grand jury, and it is understood the
story told by witnesses was to the
effect that no Italians could get posi-
tions with the railroad except they
were recommended by De Vito and
Messino, who required the men they
recommended to purchase $40 worth
of groceries monthly from them, and
also to pay 81 monthly for the rent
| of shacks, located on the railroad
property but controlled by De Vito
and Messino.
The theory has been advanced that
! the alleged operations could not
have been carried on without the
connivance of some Of the railroad
employees or officials, and one of the
witnesses was James P. Ger
lity, a timekeeper for the railroad
company. 1t is understood that Ger
ity was required to waive immunity
before giving his testimony.
1t Is reported that since the inves-
tigation got under way the practices
complained Of have ceased. Men who
were subject to the system declare
that If they left the shacks spoken
of and went to live in other houses,
the monthly payments Of 81 were
still required of them.

STOKES TURNS
DOWN DEBATE {
ON CURRENCY
Congressman Glass Offers
TO Meet Republican Candl-
date Anywhere in State
WOULD DEFEND MEASURE
STOKES CRlTICIZES
Special to tho EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, Oct. 22.-Congressman
Carter Glass, who had charge in the
House of Representatives of the ad-
ministration currency bill, today sent
to former Governor Edward c.
Stokes, through Democratic State
Chairman Grosscup, a challenge for
a joint debate on the currency bill.
In his letter to Mr.. Stokes, State
Chairman Grosscup says that Con-
gressman Glass is to speak here in
the Trent theatre next Monday even
ing, and would be glad to meet the
former governor then to debate the
question as well as any other of the
national policies of President VIII
son, which the Republicans have
made the subject of criticism in the
present state campaign. Mr.. Gross
cups letter continues:
"If it is agreeable to you to meet
Mr. Glass please advise me as to
how much time you will require, SO
that the plans of the meeting may
be adjusted to suit your desires.
If previous arrangements prevent
you from meeting Mr.. Glass Monday
night, he is willing to cancel engage
sments he has made in other parts
of the country, and will meet you
any place in New Jersey between
now and the close of the campaign
to discuss these matters"
Chairman Grosscup states that
the challenge of Congressman Glass
is made because former Governor
Stokes has publicly attacked the cur
rency bill. Mr.. Stokes sent an inn
mediate reply to Mr.. Grosscup de-
claring that the currency bill is not
an issue in the New Jersey campaign
and that to discuss it in the way
proposed would divert attention from
the purely state issues, Mr.. Stokes
says that his engagements are filled
and he would not feel justified in
breaking them to discuss extraneous
issues. He makes a counter chal-
lenge to meet Gov. Fielder in joint
debate.

PROCRESS|VES'
CHALLENGERS
WILL BE ALERT
Section SO Of Laws Provide
That They May See Ballots
Are Properly Read
WILL GET RECOUNT IF
REFUSED RIGHTS

The Progressiyes held busy meet
ing last night at the club rooms In
the Splitter building. Among the
matters disposed of were the rights
of challengers at the polls, trip to
Roosevelt on Friday night, a meeting
Saturday night with Senator Poin-
dexter and Edmund B. Osborne as
speakers, and outdoor meetings to-
night and tomorrow night.
On Saturday night United States
Senator Miles Poindexter, Of Kansas,
will speak here. Senator Poindex-
ter is one of the national leaders OF
the Progressive party and is noted
orator. Edmund B. Osborne, who
was the opponent Of Everett Colby at
the primaries, will speak In conjunc-
ton with Mr.. Poindexter. Mr.. Os-
borne is making a hard campaign in
the interest of Mr.. Colby and is do
ing great work. The place of the
meeting will be announced tomor-
row.
The club decided to accept an invi-
tation from the Roosevelt club at a
meeting to be- held in that borough
Friday night and will go over by
auto bus. All members who desire
to go will meet at the club rooms at
7 o'clock Friday night.
One outdoor meeting will be held
tonight at Amboy and New Bruins
wick avenues. Tomorrow night there
will be meetings at Smith and Pros
pect streets, Hall and Amboy ave-
nues and possibly at Smith and Ho-
bart streets.
Several weeks ago matter came
up before the club in which informa-
tion was desired as to the rights OF
ter the polls had closed and during
the counting of the ballots. Several
reported that 1t had been customary
to exclude all persons from behind
the railing except the election Off
cials. 1t was contended that 1t was
the right Of challenger to see that
a vote had actually been cast in the
case of each and every name as read
of from the ballots.
Judge Adrian Lyon and Chairman
F. w. Pugsley, to whom the matter
had been referred, reported that sec
ton 63 of the election laws provided
that each ballot as read of by the
election officer was subject to scru-
tiny as to it's correctness and that
the challengers have right to 60
behind the rail and to see and hear
the names as called off from the bal
lots. In case a challenger is denied
this, after making a request for his
legal rights, he may apply to the
courts for an order for recount OF
the ballots. AS only the Republicans
and Democrats are represented on
the election boards, the only access
to the ballots by the Progressivee
during the count can be made by
their challengers and the Progress
sives expect to avail themselves of
this law to see that their interests
are properly protected.

ALL MEXICO IS
SETTING FOR
BIG OUTBREAK
Diaz Landed Today Under
Suppressed Excitement and
in Spite of Protests.
ELECTION BOUND TO
PROVE A FARCE

specia, by United Press Whs.
Vera Cruz, Oct. 22.-General Fe-
lix Diaz arrived here today from Ha-
vana aboard the steamship Boarado.
A silent crowd greeted him at the
pier because of the popular impress
sion that Huerta had ordered the sol
diers to fire on noisy demonstrators.
The air of suppressed excitement
pervaded the whole city as the boat
came into the harbor. Diaz did not
land Immediately. When the steam
er came to her dock Huerta agents
whob oarded her continued their eff
forts to persuade Diaz not to land in
Mexico. They placed their persua-
sions on the arguments that his fall
ure to land until after Sundays cleo
toou would greatly simplify the cleo
tions.
In holding these elections Presi-
dent Huerta had added to the dan
ger OF all foreigners in Mexico. 1t Is
feared the announcement that the
people have no choice In the matter
and that Huerta will continue as die
tator, will probably necessitate dem
onstrations and will probably call
for action by the United States. All
confidential advisers received by the
state department during the last ten
days have emphasized the gravity OF
affairs.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan are holding numerous confer
ences on action. A plan of action
has been completed 1t Is carefully
guarded, but It is known that II 1t
should become necessary both the
army and navy would act at mo-
ment's notice.
With five candidates IN the field
for the Mexican presidency, 1t Is be-
lieved no one can receive majority.
There is little doubt here that as
soon as this is demonstrated Huerta
will take further steps to emphasize
his control of the government. In
the last week more Americans fled
from Mexico than during any similar
seriousness since the first Madero
outbreak.
British Minister Pleases Huerta.
rrec4Gl By United Press Wire.
Mexico City, Oct. 22.-Huerta ad-
herents today were elated over the
utterances OF Sir Lionel Garden, the

strued as an endorsement of General
