BUSINESS MEN
SIGN PETITION
FOR THE SHOW
Mayor Will Probably Sign
Circus License as Result of
Latest Development.
MUST BE SATISFIED
AS TO SENTIMENT

Indications are today that the
young Buffalo Wild West, Vernon
c. Seaver's Hippodrome and Col
Cummins' Far East" shows will be
exhibited In Perth Amboy on August
6. A large number of the leading
merchants and business men Of the
city have signed petition favoring
the exhibition of the shows here, az
a result of which Mayor Ferd Garrett
son will most likely sign a license.
He had previously refused to do so
on the ground that he concluded the
city had had about enough Of travel
ing tented shows by the exhibition of
a wild west show for one day and a
carnival for a week.
Upon his refusal to favor the cir
Gus, the owners engaged Wight &
Wight as counsel and brought the
subject before Supreme Court Justice
Willard P. Voorhees,. He refused to

the mayor to sign license, contend

and Adrian Lyon for Mayorc Garrett
son, scheduled to have been held for
the purpose of unearthing authority
and presenting 1t to Justice Voor-
hees, was not held.
Instead, counsel for the circus
company today circulated a petition
to the mayor requesting him to sign
license. Mr.. Garretson said he
would probably be inclined to sign
license II the character Of sigma
lures obtained met with his approval
However, he stated that the calibre
and number Of signatures would not
compel him to grant the license, as,
II in his Judgment after receiving the
petition the shows should not be per
mitted to exhibit here, the license
would not be issued. The signatures
received were from prominent mer-
chants and leading business men
The petition will probably be pre-
sented to the mayor today. 1t is as
follows:
"The undersigned business men OF
the City Of Perth Amboy having been
informed that His Honor, Mayor
Garretson, has declined to sign a
license for exhibition of the Young
Buffalo Wild West, Vernon c. Seav-
CT l1lppOul Oule anu COI. Cu Hills
Far East shows, billed to appear in
the City of Perth Amboy on August
6, and that the reason therefor is
the opposition of merchants to any
further exhibitions of that character
during the season of 1913, upon
learning that the same is to be a
one-day exhibition and that there is
no further exhibition or circus apply
ing for license to exhibit in this
city on the seventh day of August or
at any other time, request and petit
ton His Honor to issue the neces-
sary license and permit the exhibition
of the Young Buffalo Wild West,
Vernon G. Seaver's Hippodrome and
Col. Cummins' Far East shows to be
given on the day for which said ap-
plication Ia made
1t has become evident to Mr..
Garretson that the younger element
In the city want the shows here, but
the older persons do not. He says
one father came to him and asked
that the circus be kept away, as he
would then save the cost of four ad-
missions for his children.

Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.

Special TO the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, July 31.-According to
testimony elected today by the Mar
tin assembly insurance investigation
commission, insurance rates in this
state and the commissions paid to
agents are fixed by a rate making
bureau under the control of the In
surance company, SO that practically
there Is no competition as to either
of them. Any company or agent that
break the rates as fixed is liable to
have the business taken away. 1t
was shown that there has been alb
solutely no competition in fire in
surance rates in New Jersey for ten
or fifteen years.
The testimony showed that the in
surance rate making power for the
entire state Is lodged with one man,
Alley Brown, of Newark, and the
companies operating In the state are
assessed to maintain this rate max
ing bureau. 1t was further shown
that the anti-discrimination law, so
called, which took effect July 4, last,
results In the establishing of fixed
basis rates for fire insurance in the
state and brings the insurance bust
mes virtually back to the condition
in which it existed prior to the in
junction of the supreme court some
five or six years ago, which dissolved
the Newark Fire Exchange.
When the law was pending last
winter before the legislature, it was
advocated as a good thing for fire
insurers throughout the state, but j.
Emil Watschied, of Jersey City, coun-
sci for the Martin commission, got
testimony today to the effect that this
law makes it difficult if not impos-
sible to lower insurance rates in
New Jersey.
The principal witness today was
William G. Lawrence, president of
the Standard Fire Insurance Com
pany of Trenton. Assemblyman
Thomas e. Martin, of Hudson coun-
ty, presided at the hearing.
Counsel Watschied probed into the
Eastern Union, which was shown to
be a combination of insurance com
panies, with headquarters at 100
William street, New York. 1t was
shown that this combination induces
agents to sign an agreement as to
W MI. lLu w tllCO lcSlllltu
that the majority of the New Jersey
companies are members of this un-
ion. He said the union had nothing
to do with fixing rates.
Testimony was given by President
Lawrence, showing that following
the dissolution on the Newark Fire
Exchange, the old rate making power
rates were fixed by bureaus main
tanned in Camden, Newark and Jer-
sey City, there being no appreciable
difference from the conditions exist
ing before the court acted. The
Alley Brown Bureau was establish
ed after the new law took effect on
July 4.
Does not the new law lock the
door against the lowering of basic
insurance rates in New Jersey?" Mr..
Watschied asked Mr.. Lawrence,
The witnes replied: Eyes you are
right about that"
1t was shown that the only differ
ence under the new law Is that there
Is an appeal to the state commission
er of banking and insurance when
discrimination is charged, but even
he is not given power to reduce rates
below the basic rates fixed by the
bureau of Newark.

participate In the Panama-Pacific ex-
position IN 1915. An tntimation to
that effect has been received by the

STRIKE MAY END THIS WEEK
New York Clothing Makers Will Get
Their Raise.

The strike of garment workers of
New York seems in a fair way of set
Element, so far as the larger portion of
the strikers is concerned. At a recent
conference proposition providing for
a sliding scale of wage increases to be
applied to both regular and piece work
ers and a 52-hour week was made by
representatives of manufacturers en-
ploying about $4,000 of the 100, 900 gar
ment workers who have been on strike
for four weeks, to leaders of the Uni
ted Garment Workers of America.
That the union representative tenta-
lively accepted the proposal is deemed
favorable.
The proposition calls for an immedi-
ate increase of 10 per cent of all work.
ers receiving $12 a week or less, 71a
per cent for all workers receiving more
than $12 and less than SIS and for al
receiving more than SIS an increase OF
5 per cent. In no case is the increase
to be less than 81 a week.
The New York Clothing Trades as
sociation, which has refused to recog
nize the union or to deal with it's rep
resentatives, is not a party to the
agreement.
