TRIANGLE WILL
BE RECLAIMED
EAGLE Hose Will Make Trip
to Poughkeepsie.

From all indications the famous
old relic of olden days when fire
alarms were rung on split iron
wagon tires, the antique Perth Am
boy triangle, which belonged origin
ally to the Lincoln Engine Company
and has been stolen and restolen too
many times to mention, will be re-
turned to this city through the Eagle
Hose G. Chemical Company.
The triangle, 1t seems, Is In pos
session of Poughkeepsie Engine Com
pany No. /, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
The company, 1t is said, have con-
sented for the Eagle Hose & Chemi-
cal Company to be the noble heroes
who rescue the cherished emblem Of
long ago days and return it to the
custody of the city. The local COM
pany is planning to make trip to
New York state next Tuesday to
claim the much contested and much
talked OF gong, which bears the same
place in the hearts Of the exempt and
active firemen of the city as does the
Liberty Bell in the hearts of the sons
and daughters of the American Reyo-
luton.
Definite and detail plans for the
trip to Poughkeepsie will be made at
the meeting of the Eagle Hose and
Chemical Company Monday night.

Former Governor viii Help
Republicans Open 1918 Cam
paign in Perth Amboy.
BIG MEETING ON MAY 28
Invited by Young Mems Re-
publican Club Committee
Confer With Him at Trenton

Former Governor E. c. Stokes will
appear here Wednesday night, May
2S, to open the Republican campaign
in this city for 1913. He will speak
for the benefit of all Republicans, de-
spite the fact that he was invited to
appear by the Young Mems Republi-
can Club. Their idea is to hear what
Mr.. Stokes has to say concerning the
outlook for Republican success. He
is popularity known to some in politi-
cal circles as a Roosevelt Republican.
During the last presidential cam
paign he was opposed to William H.
Taft. Local Republicans believe him
to be the proper man for address on
ideas here at the opening gun for the
1913 campaign. What he will have
to say will establish In the minds of
voters his stand with respect to Re-
publicanism and Progressiveness.
Former Assemblyman John F. Ten
Brock, as chairman, and Mayor Ferd
Garretson, County Chairman John
Pfeiffer and Recorder H. e. Pickers-
gill constituted the committee which
worked to have the former governor
address here on May 28. They went
to Trenton yesterday to make def
mite plans for his appearance. AS
yet 1t is undecided as to what place
he will talk in.
In conjunction with the address of
Mr.. Stokes the Young Mems Repub-
lican Club will probably have other
speakers on hand. The general pub
lie is invited to attend.

OPEN MARKET
IS IMPROVED
Committee View Site for
Branch Increase Days.

An additional public market viii
probably be established In Penn
street and the number of market
days will probably be increased to
three per week. 1t is unlikely how
ever, that either of the markets will
be operated on Saturday, against the
wishes Of some merchants. The new
market committee yesterday approx
ed of improvements made at the pub
lie market and Chairman Hilker in
company with Henry Toft, superin-
tendent of weights and measures, Wis
tied Penn street this morning with a
view of determining the desirability
of a branch market there. Both
appear to be In favor OF 1t. The
proposition will be put up to the
Council as committee of the whole,
probably at their next committee
meeting.
Through the efforts OF Mr.. Toft, a
wide cinder path has been made west
of the sidewalk along the westerly
side Of Maple street, to make the
market grounds more desirable. by
making them more easily accessible
and more sanitary. There will be
one line Of wagons and stands along
the regular curb and another line
about twenty feet west of that. Be-
tween the two Is dry and roomy
walk. Numbers of the stands will be
painted along the curbs.

s. M. JACOBSEN
BUYS SCHEUERS
Successful Manager Now
Owner of Large Grocery.

5. NJ. Jacobsen, the most success
full of all Scheuer managers, has pur-
chased the grocery business of S.
Scheuer & Sons at New Brunswick
avenue and Smith street In this city.
He announces that the business will
be carried on along the same relia-
BILE lines in the future as in the past,
under the firm name of Jacobsen G.
Company. No efforts will be spared
to continue to please the many pat
rons of the store and when room for
improvement becomes evident. there
will be no hesitancy on Mr.. Jacob
sens part to go forward. He has
watched with keen perception and
guided with an energetic hand the
growth of business the Scheuer
store has built up in this city and
vicinity. Its large and satisfied pat
ronage, and excellent financial state,
is declared to be entirely due to Mr..
Jacobsen's good Management.
He prides himself in the fact,
that when the Scheuer firm crashed
into bankruptcy last August. the
Perth Amboy establishment of the
firm was not in debt, even to the ex-
tent of cent. So carefully did Mr..
Jacobsen Judge and cleverly did he
manage the affairs in connection
with the local store that it stood
on a sound financial basis when the
inevitable crash came.
The business hereabouts has since
continued to grow and seems to be
ever-increasing and prospecting
Seven horses and as many wagons
are now In service to deliver orders
daily. The force of clerks has grown
and Is being increased. The store is
noted for absolute cleanliness, a
stock of high grade goods, as low
prices as market conditions permit,
kind and courteous treatment and
unexcelled service. Top-notch eff
cheney in every phase of the business
has been Mr.. Jacobsen's aim and he
has succeeded wonderfully.
For more than twenty-seven years
has Mr.. Jacobsen been connected
with the Scheuer firm and in not a
single instance has he failed to live

Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Washington, May 7:-Frederic M.
P. Pearse, city attorney of South
Amboy, argued at noon today, before
the supreme court, the case OF the
Mayor and Council of the City of
South Amboy, ct AL" who are de-
Tending the right of the city to assess
coal stored in the pockets of the
Susquehanna Coal Company, which
is appealing from decisions made
against it in the lower courts. About
$4,000 is involved In the case.
Mr.. Pearse has associated with

George s. Silzer, who represents the
township of Madison. Mr.. Pearse
has conducted the case in the lower
courts, was thoroughly conversant
with all ats features and made an ex-

parently.
Last afternoon Alan H. Strong,

urged that the coal in the pockets is
simply in transit, and not legally
assessable.

company. 1t is expected that deci-
sion will be given some time this
month.

Militants Fail in Attempt to

BURN CRICKET PAVILION
Much Disorder Marks First

Specio1 By United Press Wfrc.
London, May Unsuccessful at
tempts to blow up the Bishops s
thi one in st. Pauls Cathedral and to
explode a bomb In BCuzerie street,
near the Evening Star building and
Temple Chambers; the burning of a
cricket pavilion at Bishops Park,
Fulham, two bungalows az Fox Hill,
and a house in F'inchley Road, mark
ed the first eight hours following the
defeat of tie Dickinson bill by the
House of Commons.
The bomb under the Bishops
throne was found by a derger. He
had never heard a ticking about the
chair before and it puzzled him.
Looking about he found neatly
wrapped, rather heavy package. Be-
coming suspicious he placed the
package in pail Of water for while
and then gave 1t to the police.
When examined by the bomb ex-
perts Of Home Secretary McKenna it
was pronounced perfect model of
clock work bombs and very similar to
those used by American iron workers
In dynamiting. 1t was made Of iron
and had an alarm clock and battery
attachment. The bomb found In
Bouzerie street was not so elaborate
being a canister filled with explosives
and slugs. 1t had lighted fuse and
woud have blown up within a short
time.
While nothing beyond the fact that
militants had made threats against
the cathedral and the Evening Star
indicates suffragette activity to the
police, the scene of the fire were all
liberaly pamphleted with literature
of the cause. None of the burned
houses were occupied.
Home Secretary McKenna was
greatly perturbed when he learned of
the attempt to blow up the cath
edral. For several weeks Scotland
Yard has kept the structure under
strict surveillance and it was very
disturbing to learn that someone
with a bomb had slipped in. The
bomb was pronounced large enough
and sufficiently charged to blow uI
the altar, organ and loft of the choir
As there are generally at least half 6
score about the altar after the fore
noon hours, loss Of life would have
resulted.

SELL ONE KIND
OF BEER, ONLY
Vice Chancellor HoweII Rules
Against Joseph Gadek.

Rubsam and Horrmann beer can
not be sold by Joseph Gadel, a sa-
loonkeeper at S71 State street, ac-
cording to AN injunction granted in
the Court of Chancery by Vice Chan
cellor Howell, yesterday. 1t seems
that the Peter Breidt Brewing Com
pany of Elizabeth, had advanced Ga
dek $1,000, reconsideration of which
he had agreed to sell beer only
made by the Breidt breweries.
The chancellor held that as Gadsk
had agreed to use only the product
of that company and had been paid
for same, he could not sell beer made
by the Staten Island concern.
James S. Wight, of this city. appear
ed for the defendant and questioned
the equity of the injunction setting
forth that 1t would restrain Gadek
from selling any other brand of beei
other than Breidt's even after the
$1,000 will have been repaid.
The vice chancellor, therefore,
made the injunction subject to dis
missal by the court on future ap-
plication after the money is re-
funded.

George Moore was today placed
under bonds in the amount of $500
to await the action OF the grand jury
on a charge of practicing as a veteri-
nary surgeon without state license.
He was prosecuted by the State
Veterinary Medical Society, of which
Dr.. Thomas Smith, of Jersey City, is
the president. DR.. A. P. Lubach, of
this city, is Chairman of its prosecut-
ing committee. The latter claimed
that Moore had been warned time
and again to stop his alleged illegal
practice.
Drs. Smith and Lubach appeared
before Justice of the Peace Pickers-
gill at 1890 o'clock this morning to
press charges against Moore. The
latter had been arrested last Thurs
day night, pleaded not guilty and
was paroled until this morning. He
put in an appearance at 10 o'clock
and left the court room. AS he did
not appear for an hour or so after
ward, the case was tried without his
presence, much to the Indignation of
the justice. Immediately after the
hearing he gave orders for the ap-
prehension of Moore on sight by
virtue of an order committing him to
the county Jail. The accused man
apologized afterwards, gave bonds
and was released.
1t was declared by the complaining
witnesses that there were numerous
instances in which Moore had prac-
ticed illegally, but he was held on
but one specific charge, a case in
which he received IS for prescribing
for a horse.
