NO CLAIM As TO
RARITAN AVE.
Such Is Written Opinion Of
City Attorney Hommann TO
Board of Aldermen.
END OF CONTROVERSY

1t is the opinion of City Attorney
c. c. Hommann that the city has lost
all claim to Raritan avenue and that
it cannot acquire it for public pur-
poses without entering into the pur-
chase of 1t in the regular way. The
declaration together with statements
of reasons why the city cannot re-
claim the property in question was
contained In a lengthy written opin-
ion given by the city attorney to the
Board of Aldermen at their commit
tee meeting last night. Considerable
discussion followed its receipt.
This will probably tend to halt the
efforts which were about to have
been made by the Board of Harbor
Commissioners to have Raritan ave-
nue. reclaimed. 1t is believed that it
will at least end the controversy
over the guarantee Of payment fer
special counsel, and If deemed neces-
sary to investigate what right, If any,
the city has in Raritan avenue. The
harbor commissioners appeared en-
thusiastic about the idea of having
the avenue reclaimed, and desired 20
have the Board of Aldermen pay for
engagement of special counsel
should it have been found necessary
1t is intended by the aldermen and
harbor commissioners to have a
similar examination made to ascer-
tain what right, if any, The city has
to riparian lands at the foot of Buck
ingham avenue and Broad street.

LOCAL MEN AS JUDGES

Perth Amboy figured prominently

Mayor Ferd Garretson, Sheriff Al
bert Bollschweiler and County Clerk
B. M. Cannon, of this city, were

products to his home twice a week
Mr.. Meeker was on parade with mem
bers of his family. He carried a pig

GROUSE GETS
HOSPITAL JOB
Is Awarded Contract for
Building the Extension at
Cost Of S14,573.
WILL START AT ONCE

Ira R. Grouse, carpenter and
contractor of this city, was awarded
a contract for building the two-story
brick extension to the city hospital
building at a meeting of it's building
committee yesterday afternoon. His
bid Of $14,573 was the lowest of the
six received. Others were as follows:
j. c. Fowler, $15,500; Soren c.
Olsen, SIS, 1893; A. X. Jensen, $16,-
500; Fred Christensen Construction
Company, s16.425; c. C. Chrlsten-
sen, S19, 1000.
The excavating, being done under
a separate contract by Graham & Nc
Keon, and the placing of sewer line
for the addition will probably be
completed today. 1t is intended that
Mr.. Grouse shall proceed at once
with the building work, as it is the
desire to have the building ready for
occupancy at the earliest date possi-
BILE, owing to the need for more
room. Advantage was taken of de-
sirable weather conditions the past
several days by proceeding with the
excavation and sewer construction.
Conditions are now such that the
general contractor can start on the
building Immediately.
Donations of sand and fireproofing
for the extension have been made by
the National Fireproofing Company.

MAN HURLED To
INSTANT DEATH
Haywood Montague Killed
While Repairing Broken
Bslt in Barber Plant
HEAD ALMOST SEVERED
Investigation Shows as Belt
Slipped ths Victim Had At
tempted TO hold it.
HEAD ALMOST SEVERED

In an attempt to dislodge a broken
belt among crushers In the block de-
partment OF the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing Company's plant this morning,
haywood Montague, colored, twenty
seven years old, was drawn by a belt
and wound several times around a
shaft to his death. The greater por-
ton of hls head above the mouth
was torn away and his right arm and
leg were severed from the body,
Death is believed to have been almost
instantaneous.
The victim, who lived at 527 State
street, is survived by a wife and in
fant child The widow became al
most frantic with grief when inform
ed by Coroner James j. Flynn of the
death. She became hysterieal and
required attendants to render aid.
Montague was killed soon after he
had begun his days work, the acct
dent occurring at 7:40 o'clock. Ac-
cording to officials of the works, it
was his duty to operate two motors
to start and stop the crushing ma
chinery in the asphalt block depart
ment. In this department is located
series of pulleys and belts, all
guarded to prevent accidents as far
as possible, it is declared. An inves-
tigation by the officials, they state,
indicated that a belt had either
broken or slipped off, and that Mon
tague went to make repairs without
taking precaution to stop the ma
ehinery. Findings of Coroner Flynn
showed that he had either grabbed
the moving belt or became wrapped
in it, and was drawn up to a rapidly
revolving shaft and wheel. His body
was snapped up with jerk and
wound speedily around the shaft,
with parts hitting the floor and being
torn by the wheel, betting and shaft
When workmen discovered the
accident and found the body it. was
unrecognzable. They removed it to
shanty, where it was viewed by
Coroner Flynn. He removed 1t to
his undertaking establishment.
Montague had worked at intervals
at the Barber, plant during the past
five years. The position he last held
was secured eleven months ago. III

TWO INJURED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Peter S. Byrnss and Frank
Markham We're Returning
from New Brunswick
CRASHED INTO A POLE
Declares Steering Gear Broke
and Lost Control - Taken
to Hospital Then Home
CRASHED INTO A POLE

Peter s. Byrnes, proprietor of the
Club cafe in New Brunswick avenue,
and Frank Markham, a bartender,
were thrown from the formers Mar
ion "Bobcat," when the automobile
turned turtle after crashing into a
telephone pole on the Perth Amboy
and New Brunswick turnpike, be-
tween Metuchen and Fords Corner
shortly after IL O'Clock this morning.
Both men landed on their heads.
and are this morning in bed at their
homes with cuts about the head and
bruises about the body. Both were
rendered unconscious in the fall and
were taken to the city hospital In
the car of DR.. J. S. Hay, who was
returning from New Brunswick Just
ahead of the fated car Markham re-
ceiyed the severest wound, a deep cut
In the scalp, which was sewed to-
gether by DR.. M. S. Meinzer at the
hospital. After the mems bruises
and cuts had been attended they
were taken to their homes.
Mr.. Byrnes said this morning that
he had been to New Brunswick with
Markham to witness the Hallowe'e en-
parade at that place last night. They
started home Just before midnight.
Mr.. Byrnes declares that only he and
Markham were In the car. Accord
Ing to the cafe proprietor, who was
at the wheel of the car, the steering
gear broke and he lost control of the
machine, which dashed to the right
of the thoroughfare and crashed into
the pole The men were thrown
over the front of the car as the re-
suit of the impact. Mr.. Byrnes de-
clared he did not remember anything
until the hospital was reached, and
he and Markham were able to walk
into the institution.
The right side of Mr.. Byrnes' face
near the ear is badly confused and
his right shoulder sprained. The
most serious wound was that sustain
ed by Markham on the head. Both

days. The machine was put out of

broken and bent.

FIELDER
Get $4,000
State Chairman 6rosscup Is
sues Statement on Situa-
tion in the State.
i to the EVENING NEWS

Special to the EVENING NEWS
Jersey City, Nov. Democratic
State Chairman Edward E. GrosscuI
issued the following statement this
morning:
81 have the most encouraging re-
ports from all sections of the state.
Governor Fielder has made a mag
uificent campaign fight. He had Wis
tied every section of the state and
has been splendidly received. The
Republican pthey has been on the
defensive from the beginning of the
campaign and the Republican candi-
date for governor has not shown the
ability as campaigner that was pre-
dicted at the time of his nomination.
Thih is because he has failed in ev-
er yinstance to meet our charges,
and has been continually fighting a
retreating battle.
''The great achievements Of the
Democratic party in the enactment
of progress legislation during the
last three years, in all of which Mr..
Fielder has a. prominent part, are
known to all and appreciated by all
the citizens of the state. The public
utilities law, Geran election law, cor
rupt practices act, employees COM
pensation act, grade crossing law,
jury reform law and other salutory
laws passed by the Democrats have
made such an impression on the vot-
ers that all attempts of the Republi-
cans to belittle them or to steal cred
it for them have met with rebuff.
'0The votes that Mr.. Colby will re-
ceive will be all from the Republi-
can party and those votes will be
those of dissatisfied Republicans who
will not stand for the reactionary
trend of the Republican party and
who are tired of the dominion of
that party by the. old crowd who
brought it to defeat three years ago
and every year since.
From the reports that I have re-
ceived covering the entire state, I
predict a majority for Mr.. Fielder
of not less than $4,000 and fully
expect it to reach $4,000 If a full
vote is cast"

FEAR TROUBLE
WITH STRIKERS
Street Car Men Break Car
Windows and Police Are
Helpless.
MANY CARS STALLED


~
Indianapolis, Nov. L. Unusual
scenes but no violence marked the
first twelve hours of the strike of
street car men here today. A howl
ing and hooting mob of men and
boys at Illinois and Washington
streets, the city's busiest corner,
greeted the few cars that reached
that point during the forenoon.
Three mounted policemen were help
less to disperse the mob, and before
10 o'clock 1T numbered a thousand.
Forty arrests have been made. Six
cars had their windows smashed by
stones. One striker and two police
men have been slightly. hurt. Doz-
ems of cars have been stalled from
various quarters, mostly due to the
inexperienee of strike breakers and
the interference of strikers and SYM
pathizers. One car left the tracks
at curve going at high speed and
was wrecked. The ranks of the
strikers are being increased.
Seven hundred employees were out
on strike labor leaders said. The
employers said cars would be run
ming on regular schedule within
twenty-four hours.

MEXICO AWAITS
new CONGRESS
Probably No Session Today
as Recent Election Has Not
Been Canvassed.
HvERTA THE REASON /?

special by United Press Wtre.
Washington, Nov. 1:--Advices re-
ceived here today from John Lind
and Charge of Affairs O'Shaughnessy
stated that there would probably be
no session of the new Mexican con-
gress today. The official reason ass
signed was that the votes cast at last
Sundays election had not been can
vassed. The real reason is believed
to be that Provisional President
Huerta has not as yet decided on his
plans.
Mexico City and Vera Cruz were
today reported quiet. Until the Mex
lean congress organizes, this govern
ment will maintain passive attitude
on that republics affair unless some
outrage takes place which will force
the administrator hand.

RECALLED BY A
CORRUPT BOSS
SuIzer Makes Bitter Attack
on Tammany Hall Politicians
on Removal from Office.
COURT RULED BY BOSSES
Special by United Pres, Wire.


New York, Nov, 1T was re-
called by corrupt political boss,
but with my story now known the
question which the people may an
swer for themselves is, whether |
would have been removed from Office
had the recall rested with them?"
This was the statement of former
Governor Sulzer today In a special
interview with the United Press, in
which he declared that his removal
at the order of Tammany hall would
do more than anything else to bring
to this state and other states laws
for the recall of public officials by
vote of the people, the initiative
and referendum and all other re-
form measures looking toward hon
est government.
That court of recall was passed
against me-" said Sulzer, "but would
court of the people have been
ruled by a boss and bound to re-
turn verdict removing me before
word of evidence was taken?"

CLAIM VICTORY
ON ALL SIDES
Democrats Show Most Con-
fidsnce in County and City
and Outlook Is Bright
PROGRESSIVE SHOWING
Republicans Sure of Sixth
Ward and Predict Success
in State and County.
PROGRESSIVE SHOWING

According to the chairmen of the
Democratic, Republican and Progress
sive county committees, Fielder will
carry the county by from two to two
thousand five hundred majority;
Stokes will be victorious by between
twelve to fifteen hundred, and Colby
will make a showing to his credit of
some $500 votes.
The Democrats display more conf
de1ce than the other parties, and de-
clare that the assembly and freehold
er candidates will have pathway
of roses on which to walk to their
respective offices. The Republicans
are less sure of big majorities, but
claim that the freeholder and assem-
bly, candidates will pull through" ;"
The Ffogressives seem to view the
fight on the whole as losing one
for the present, declaring that it is
matter of principle, and that 1t is
necessary to have a full ticket to-
keep up the character of the party
and to lay foundation for future
work, even If there is but little
chance Of most OF their candidates
being elected. they say, as County
Chairman ]. A. Edgar, of the Pro-
gressive party, one of the mbly
candidates, stated this morning:
1--WE are in the fight to win or lose.
and we are in the fight to stay"
What the Chairmen Say.
Thomas H. Hagerty, county chair
man of the Democratic party, stated
this morning that, In his opinion,
Fielder would carry Middlesex by
from 1000 to $500 majority, and
SO would the assembly candidates.
He declared that he thought the free
holder candidates would win by ma
jorities ranging between 100 and
2.200. John Pfeiffer, chairman of
the Republican county committee,
stated that Stokes would carry the
predicted that the freeholder and as
sembly candidates would pull
through. James A. Edgar, Progress
sive chairman of the county commit
tee, stated that he hoped Colby
would carry the county, but to give
his real, conservative opinion of the
number of votes he would poll,
thought that, the Progressive guber-
Material candidate would receive
some $500 throughout the county.
He stated that a recent trip about
Jamesburg, Prospect Plains and 9TH
er places indicate that Colby is gain
ing in strength every day.
The non-partisan, general opinion,
1t appears, is that Fielder will un-
doubtedly carry the county, though
not by a landslide majority; that
Stokes will come in second, and
Colby third. The present Board Of
Freeholders, and the present assem-
blymen, it is believed, will be re-
turned to their respective offices.
Doubt About Sixth ard.
Though there is general feeling
that the county will go Democratic,
there Is much apprehension by the
leaders of the faith about the sixth
ward, and some concerning the
fourth. They are positive that
Weaver will receive from seven hun
