Coroner FIvnn Learns He Had Quar-

That Boatman Met Foul Play
EXAMINATION OF BODY TODAY

boat Edwin A. Fisher until last Sat
urday night, there was much Ill
feeling among men on the vessel.
He has informed Coroner Flynn
that Mostrogeorge worked with
Spaniard as firemen on the vessel
and that had been at odds when he,
Mervin, left the tug. Mervin also
informed the coroner that Mostro
george had large roll of money In
his pocket when he last saw him.
When the body was found there was
but $1,47 in cash In the pockets.
The body is being held at the cor
oner's morgue, pending the arrival
of relatives and friends from New
York city. They have requested the
official to hold 1t until they arrive.
which will probably be sometime this
afternoon.
At the Sayre & Fisher offices to-
day, Coroner Flynn was informed
that the company knew of no man
by the name OF Mostrogeorge work
ing on their tugboat, and knew or
nobody being missing from It, How
ever, they admitted that man
might have worked on 1t under an
other name and that change might
have meen made unawares. Coroner
Flynn says IL is possible that Mos
trogeorge could have worked under
a simpler name and that he could
have disappeared with little concern
to officers of the vessel.
Coroner Flynn will confer with
Mervin at his office this afternoon
and expects to meet the Sayre
Fisher tugboat men tomorrow. He
is determined to sift the case to the
bottom. A detailed examination
will be made of the body today to
seek wounds, which may have caused

SKULL CRUSHED
WHILE AT WORK

The top of the skull of John Ubu-
lin, of 657 Euizabeth street, was
crushed in when it was hit by me-
tallic bar formed of blast furnace
refuse at the American Smelling and
Refining Company's plant early this
morning. The man now lies in a
critical condition in the city hospital.
His injuries will probably prove
fatal. He was attended by DR..

RAMSAY SAID
To HAVE BEEN
TURNED DOWN
Political Runner About Sen
ator Leaving the State Con-
vention In a Huff
PLACE ON RESOLUTIONS
COM. ALLEGED CAUSE.

Perhaps the choicest piece of poll
teal gossip that has been going the
rounds in Middlesex county this
week Is the alleged action Of SEN
ator William E. Ramsay at the
Democratic state convention Tues
day. According to the story told,
DR.. Ramsay wanted to be made
member of the resolution committee
of the convention, which has the
drawing up OF the platform. The
senator made known his wish, 1t Is
declared, to County Clerk B. M.
Cannon, who attended the conven-
tion as proxy for Congressman
Thomas J. Scully, who was detained
in Washington. Mr.. Cannon Is rec
ognized as the Democratic leader In
Middlesex and 1t seems that before
DR.. Ramsay Is alleged to have spok-
en- to him, Assemblyman Arthur A.
Quinn had expressed a desire to rep
resent this county on the resolutions
committee. 1t Is declared that Mr..
Cannon told Quinn he would support
him for the place. When DR.. Ram
say made known his desire, as he is
said to have done, Mr.. Cannon is
alleged to have told him Quinn had
the inside track. The senator is
said to have expressed himself in
plain terms and used all kinds OF
arguments as to why he should be
on the committee, even declaring, 1t
IS said, that Governor Fielder want
ed him there. But Mr.. Cannon is
declared to have been obdurate.
Whereupon, according to the best of
authority, DR.. Ramsay left the con-
vention in huff Since then efforts
have been made to patch up the diff
ferences and outwardly the efforts
seem to have been successful At
least, DR.. Ramsay is emphatic In
his denials that any such scene took
place, and there seems to be an at
tempt to hush the matter up. Cos
sip cannot be stopped easily, espe-
cially where there are facts behind
it, and the persistency of the story
seems to be it's own confirmation.

Temporarily Blind

Centralia, Pa, Oct. 4:-Thomas
Toshesky early today was taken alive
from the coal mine which has en-
tombed him for eight days. His hair
was streaked with grey and he was
temporarily blind, but his condition
was better than those outside had
hoped for. When the last piece of
rock was broken and light was let in
he uttered one scream of delight and
fell unconscious. 1t was feared he
had died of Joy. He was quickly re-
stored and raised to the surface,
where his wife and children and hun
dreds of comrades had stood their
interminable vigil.
The miners worked almost super
humanity in his behalf. Only one
could work at a time in the rescue,
and he had to use his pick while on
his hands and knees. Toshesky had
no little part In his own rescue as
he had dug away three and half

First Fruits Of Ramsay anti
Discrimination Insurance
Rate Law Observed Today
PERTH AMB0Y AND OTHER
CITIES benefited
Companies Forced to Abide
by Rates Filed With State
Commissioner by Expert

There were filed with the State
Banking and Insurance Commission
er at Trenton today the first fixed
rates compiled by the insurance ex-
pert engaged for the purpose, under
the new Ramsay anti-discrimination
insurance law passed by the last leg
islature. The rates thus far COM
piled are for dwelling houses of one
or two families and household fur
nishings. They show general re-
duction in practically every city In
the state and fully Justify the
claim made by those who were urg-
ing the passage OF the bill. Senator
w. q. Ramsay, the father of the
measure, is naturally well pleased
with the first results of the law. 1t
is apparent that 1t will be OF far
reaching benefit to the great mass
OF citizens, particularly the owners
Of modest homes. Equally we'll
pleased Is Assent mblyman Burton who
did excellent work In getting the bill
through the House.
Perth Amboy is directly benefited
by the new rates established. Every
person whose policy is renewed here
after in sthis city will find that there
is deduction of six per cent on all
three year policies on frame dwell
ings occupied by not more than two
families, where no specific rate has
been applied. On brick dwellings
under the same conditions, the re-
duction In this city is g. u per cent.
New Brunswick is also greatly ben
efitted under the new rates. In that
city under the same conditions as
mentioned for Perth Amboy the rate
is reduced seventeen one-half per
cent on brick dwellings and twenty
four one-half per cent on frame
dwellings.
The law under which the new
rates are fixed Is not retroactive,
consequently these reductions will
apply only to policies as they are
renewed.
The greatest reduction Is in the
city of Trenton, where the insurance
companies have charged higher rates
than in any part of the state. In
that city rates on dwellings and
their contents will be decreased from
forty-fve to fifty-one per cent. In
Newark the decrease Is about twenty
per cent, and In other parts Of the
state from fifteen to twenty per cent.
The new law went into effect July
4 and prevents insurance companies
from favoring one person above an
other, when the physical hazard Of
their risk is essentially the same.
Under the old system the man with
the big pull could secure his insur-
ancs cheaper than the man without
the pull, even though the two risks
were of the same sort. The RAM
say law seeks to prevent discrimina-
tion of this kind and forces all in
surance companies to treat everyone
alike. Under the law the companies
were given three months in which to
f1le with the state commissioner
their rates, schedules and all infor-
nation relative to their causes for
charges on each risk In the state.
Should anyone feel that he is being
Disseminated against he may appeal
to the commissioner at the State
House who will cause all parties to
appear before him for an investiga-

Strong indications developed to-
day that Straits Mostrogeorge, whose
decomposed body was found under
the Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical
Works dock yesterday, was murder
ed a week ago. Coroner James j.
Flynn learned that he had had sew
eral disagreements with a Spaniard,
with whom he is believed to have
worked as a fireman aboard the tug
boat Edwin A. Fisher, of the Sayre
& Fisher Brick Company, of Sayre-
Vile. Men in the employ of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company, with whom Mostrogeorge
worked during the greater part of
July declare that he was not a drink
ing man and was an expert swimmer.
These statements have tended to ex-
plode the accidental drowning the
ory.
Mostrogeorge, according to the
coroner's findings, is supposed to
have met death last Sunday, while
the tug Fisher was at the Perth Am
boy dry docks off the foot of Broad
street The body was found at a
point dDOuJ fVU leel 6ouli VI THAT
place, by James Carroll, of 90 Fay
ette street, about 8 o'clock yesterday
morning On the body was found
letters and papers which proved
conclusively to friends that the body
was that of Mostrogeorge. The pa
pers included letters from New York
city addressed to Mostrogeorge at
421 Mechanic street, this city. One
bore the mace of George Straits, -
which is believed to have been a sim
plifed form of Straits Mostro-
