IN CITY CASE
Expect Supreme Court De.
cision Shortly.

In the matter Of appeal on
certiorari Of the Public Service Rail-
way Company against the Board of
Public Utility Commissioner and the
City of Perth Amboy, concerning the
utility commissioners decision up
holding the ordinance which pro-
vides that policemen and firemen
ride free on trolley cars, briefs were

will be considered within a short
time and a decision from the New
Jersey supreme court Is expected
soon.
Joseph e. Stricken, as attorney for
the city, and Frank II. Sommer,
attorney for and of counsel with the
utility board, prepared the brief for
the defendants. Frank Bergen, at
torney for the railway company, filed
the brief of that prosecutor. Even
with a decision Of the New Jersey
supreme court at hand, either side
may again appeal to the court of
errors and appeals and after fight
there it may be carried into the
United States supreme court.
Counsel for the defendants in the
appeal action present eleven points
why the decision Of the utility COM
missioners as favoring Perth Amboy
should be upheld. The brief cites
the passage Of three ordinances con-
cerning franchise privileges given by
the city to the Perth Amboy Railroad
Company and the former Raritan
Traction Company, its lessees or

COLBY To RUN
FOR GOVERNOR
Announces His Candidacy To-
day in Signed Letter to
Newspapers at Newark.
Is STRONG PROGRESSIVE
Expected to Make Public
His Platform Next Week.
Arrange Big Meeting.
is STRONG PROGRESSIVE

Former State Senator Everett
Colby, in a letter today to the New
ark newspapers, announced his can
didacy for the Progressive nomina-
tion for governor. Further than the
letter Mr.. Colby would make NO
statement and left in his automobile
shortly before noon for Bay Head. II
Is expected that Mr.. Colby will an
nounce his platform some night next
week at a big meeting which is be-
ing arranged by his friends. All
that is known about the platform SO
far is that it will be distinctly per
sonal.
Mr.. Colby's letter is as follows:
/ wish to announce my candidacy
for the nomination of governor In
the Progressive primaries.
(Signed)
EVERETT COLBY.
Mr.. Colby gained national repu-
tation by his campaign for state SEN
ator in 1906 when he overthrow the
Republican machine In Essex county
so long dominated by Major Car
Lentz. This was the beginning OF
the New Idea" movement party
with equal taxation" as the slogan
The equal tax agitation, however
originated with George l.. Record In
his fight in behalf of Jersey City
against the railroads and to Record
must be given much Of the credit fol
bringing Colby forward, lathougf
now the m n are allied with different
factions of the Progressive party.
In 1908 when Colby ran for re-
election as state senator he was de
feated by Venry B. Osborne, Demo
crat Colby then spent two years
touring Europe and upon his return
In 1911 he backed William Fellows
| Morgan against Austin Colgate fol
state senator, but the latter won.
Mr.. Colby has taken an active par
| in thewoman's suffrage movement be
ing heartily in favor of "votes fol
women" Mrs. Colby is secretary Of
| the committee on judiciacy of the
Woman's suffrage state league.
There has been a growing demand
| in various sections of the state fol
Mr.. Colby to declare himself a can.
| didate. This demand has been made
| by both Progressives and regular Re
lpubhcans. There are indications
| that the Republicans will be willing
to endorse Mr.. Colby in which case
he would become the logical com.
promise candidate to run against the
Democratic nominee. Both former
Governor Stokes and Edmund Wake
lee, Republican state chairman, have
declared favorably in regard to Mr.
Colby and it is now thought other
Republicans will do likewise.
This week the first Colby league
was organized In Essex county and
1t Is in response to the demand o1
the members OF this organization
that Mr.. Colby has declared him
self.

REPORT WASTE
OF CITY WATER
Storage Place Needed for

1t is the belief of members of the
Board of Water Commissioners that
there is one or several underground
leaks from the city's system of water
pipes. They contend that the con-
sumption here Is not 100000 gall
Ions per day, despite the fact that
approximately that amount Of water
Is pumped daily from Runyon. Tho
commissioners discussed ways and
means at the regular meeting of the
board last night for location of the
leakage. Accordingly Superintendent
A. H. Crowell was requested to COM
municate with makers of measuring
apparatus used for detecting and
locating leaks. A representative will
be asked to address the commission
ers at their next committee meeting
in city hall Tuesday night, August s.
1t is intended to have the repre-
sentative give his opinion upon the
adaptibility of such measuring de-
vices in connection with the local
system. Commissioner w. P. Nolan
said they might be used to good ad-
vantage to detecting leaks in mains

PRESIDENT LYNCH
 SCORES FIRST BLOOD
Effort to Wrest Control From Head
 of Typographical Union Fails.


 Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 11-Scrap- ping from the very start marked the opening of the annual convention of the International Typographical con- vention that assembled in the House of Representatives today and the first proposition to curb the power of President J. M. Lynch came with the announcement of the committee when delegate Baumgartner, of Omaha, led the fight to have the committee on appeals elected from the floor, but the scheme was lost by vote of 17O to 70 and thus the President won the first blood in the first blood in the first blood in the fight against him and was given an ovation.
 The real fight to wrest control of organizations from President Lynch is embodied in the Seattle proposi- tion to enlarge the executive com mittee. It was reopened at the meet ing tonight, before the committee of laws, and was made a special order before the convention for 2 o'clock Thursday.
 Real Southern hospitality is being shown the delegates and the women of the' auxiliary union. They will be given barbecues of the Southern type.

ARKANSANS OPPOSE
 CURRENCY BILL
Democrats Have Made Up Their Minds To Support It and
 Desert Caucus.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Assurances were given President Wilson today by the Democratic caucus that the GlassOwen Currency Bill would come from the caucus without amend ment and would pass the House with out serious opposition and by anover- whelming majority. With the orga- nization of the caucus many mem- bers left to attend to other matters, with the announcement that they would not be interested in the dis cussion because they intended to support the administration bill"
 With the opening of the caucus consideration of the Currency Bill t became apparent that the opposition was local and scattered. It comes mainly from South Carolina, Texas and Arkansas, with few voters from other Southern and Western states. The demand of these disaffected Democrats is for greater privilege and banking system for the farmer element.

BILL
 'IS IN DANGER Democrats Trying to Make Sure Its Passage By Lin ing With Progressives
HAVE ONE MAJORITY
Death of Johnston and Uncertainty of Others Voting Causes Much
 Worry.

Washington, August 11-There was abundant evidence today that Demo- cratic leaders are badly worried over the prospect of successful passage of their Tariff bill. The death of Sena- tor Johnston, of Alabama, leaves the party with meager majority of but one vote. Leaders fear that illnHss or possibly more srous danger may come before the final vote.
 Senator Culberson, of Texas, has been ill and absent practically the entire session. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, is very feeble, Sena- tor Hitchcock, who bolted the caucus, Is causing the managers much con- cern. Senator Newlands. of Nevada who has been sounding high onstitu- ents, has displayed an independence that bothers the party managers. MT. Newlands comes up for reelection next year.
 To provide against any possible contingency overtures are being made to Republican Progressives. Senators Kenyon, Clapp and La Toilette. of the Republican Progressives, and Poin- dexter, Regular Progressive, are De ing urged to accept certain conces sions and pledge themselves to sup port the bill.
 The refusal of Leader Underwood to these overtures, has prevented any definite arrangements being made.
 All of today was consumed in gen. eral discussion.
