Fred S. Hansy Enters Race
for Nomination Today--WIII
Make Strong Fight
PLATFORM TO BE MADE
PUBLIC NEXT WEEK
Edward ]. Peterson and AIf-
red ]. Sksvington are 0ppo-
nents--No Endorsement

Another man on the Republican
side of the fence has entered the race
Tor excise commissioner. Fred S.
Haney, who is chief clerk in the
office of the water department and a
brother of George J. Haney, an
nounced today that he would seek
the nomination on the Republican
ticket. The only other Republicans
so far to announce their candidacy
for excise commissioner are Edward
j. Peterson and Alfred ]. Skeving-
ton.
Mr.. Haney, who lives in the third
district of the first ward, will start
his petition In circulation the first Of
the week. AS he has always been
closely identified with the Republi-
can party in this city he expects
strong support at the primaries. He
is preparing platform which will
be announced later.
In view of the fact that the excise
board is controlled at the present
time by a clique of three commits
sioners and the chances being small
for the man elected to fill the vacan-
cy caused by Harry M. Germs resig-
nation having any power, there are
few seeking the office.

PLAN RAID ON
VIOLAT0RS OF
SUNDAY LAWS
Mayor: Notifies Police TO
Keep Close Watch on Iler->
chants Here Tomorrow
PLACES MUST CLOSE ON
THE DAY OF REST

AS the result of complaints recent.
ly made to Mayor Ferd Garretson
that there was Sunday selling by
merchants in the northwestern sec
tion of the city, raid may be made
there by the police shortly. The
subject has been investigated and
considered by the mayor and he has
notified the police to act. AS result
a close watchout will be kept in the
northern, northwestern and western
sections of the city, commencing to-
morrow.
The names of twelve persons,
which were turned over to Mayor
Garretson by the complainants last
Monday night, are now in the hands
of the police. Particular stress will
be laid to watch the places of these,
beginning tomorrow. If there is il
legal selling on the Sabbath and con-
victing evidence is produced arrests
will follow.
1t is declared that the twelve per-
sons complained against have been
doing a Sunday business for some
time and have been reaping a har-
vest at the expense of other mer-
chants who obey the laws and accept
the Sabbath as a day of rest. The
laW-abiding merchants declare they
not alone lose what money they
might make on Sunday, but also lose
much Saturday trade because con-
sumers know other stores are open
on Sundays.

Thomas Grieve, Engineer at
Copper Works, Believes His
Invention VIII Bring Relief
WOULD STOP VELOCITY OF
ESCAPING GAS
Intends to Reduce 1t From
go Feet to Two Feet
Per Second.

This city may shortly be relieved
OF the dust nuisance eminating from
the Raritan Copper Works, against
which so much complaint has been
made, as the result of an invention
of Thomas Grieve, vice president of
the Board of Water Commissioners
and chief engineer of the Raritan
Copper Works. His plan is to con-
struct plant to materially decrease
the velocity of gases in stacks, caus-
ing dust to be precipitated that it
may be burned and thereby kept
from going out in the air and litter
ing sections of the city. He believes
the scheme can be carried out sue
cessfully without interfering with
the draft desired for the boilers.
Under prevailing conditions the
velocity Of gas in stacks at the
plant is about sixty feet a second,
caused by forced draft, which, to-
gether with the small coal burned,
causes the nuisance that is so wide
ly objected to. Mr.. Grieve intends
to construct plant through which
the gases will pass from the boilers
at the rate of but two feet a second
thereby previpitating the dust and
other matter it carries, that 1t may
be burned. The arrangement of
carrying the gases would be such as
to give the same draft as at present
Mr.. Grieve is at present working
to perfect the idea. He is enthu-
siastic over it and believes it will
be successful. A number of city
officials have been informed of his
efforts and are highly pleased with
them. Mr.. Grteve said today that
while his plans were but in a state
of embryo as yet, he expected to
have them worked out shortly. The
intention is to begin work upon the
new plant Immediately.

CLARK'S RAID
HAVE HEARING
ON WEDNESDAY
Matter Was Reopsned Last
Night But More Tina is
to bs Allowed.
DENY THAT GAMBLING
WAS GOING ON

Despite the statements of police
men to Recorder Pickersgill and
others that they have no evidence
of gambling against John Zaxonaua-
kos, Alderman John J. Clark still
insists that he has and he intends to
call policemen in his behalf. What
the outcome will be is a question.
The case against the man who was
accused of conducting "one of the
biggest gambling dens in the city" at
421 Mechanic street, according to
Clark, was reopened last night by
Recorder Pickersgill upon motion of
Thomas Brown, counsel for ZaXona-
uakos. Because a written complaint
was desired from Clark and the COM
planning witness and his witnesses
were not on hand, the case was ad-
journed until 7 O'Clock next Wednes-
day night. At that time Clark in
tends to appear represented by
counsel and with witnesses.
Immediately after the reopening
Clark said he wanted to press the
charge of gambling against the man
whom he accused. Recorder Pick
ersgill then told him that officers of
his raiding party had told him there
was no evidence of gambling, and
that at the time of the raid, they
saw but friendly game Of cards
with six or seven people In it and a
kettle of beer with some glasses on a
table. Clark reiterated his previous
declaration that he saw seven or
eight tables at which there were card
games and he saw money on the Ia
bles.. The court said it was up to
him to prove that and the alderman
said he would If given an oppor-
tunity.
Counsel for the accused man ad-
mitted there was game of cards in
progress and that beer was being
drunk. "What more evidence do
you want" asked Clark. But,
there was no evidence of gambling"
said the recorder. 'It's a game Of
chance with cards, isn't it?" queried
Clark. Not necessarily, and I doubt
the man will admit that money eX-
changed hands, thereby making it a
game of chance" replied the re-
corder. Thereupon Lawyer Brown
made it emphatic that no money
changed hands and that there was
no gambling in Zaxonauakos' place
at the time of the raid. He said
there was a friendly game at one
table, where but a single deck of
cards was used.

THAW'S FIGHT
TO BE CARRIED
INTO VERMONT
Seems to be No Doubt About
Canada Returning Prisoner
to United States.
THAW HAS QUkRRLLED
WITH LAWYERS
Special 6v United Press Wire.

SpeCtut " CHutu ITtSS bUe.
Sherbrooke, Quebec, Court House,
Aug. 23:-Harry X. Thaw's fight to
keep out of Mattewan will be trans
ferred to Newport, VT, not later
than next Wednesday. Thaw's law
yers today admitted that they can
not hope to prevent their clients
rejection by the Dominion authori-
ties. That they are framing this
fight accordingly Is indicated by the
visit by Charles d. White, Thaw S
chief counsel, to Newport, yesterday
I'VE understand Thaw's lawyers
have agreed to drop their habeas
corpus proceedings" said Immigra-
ton Inspector Reynolds, who will
take Thaw over the border. "As
soon as they do we will proceed to
Coaticook to hold an informal in
Quiry determining whether Thaw has
ever been an insane asylum inmate
He will admit he has been and we
will order his return to the United
States. We understand he plans to
go back via Derby line and proceed
to Newport"
Thaw has quarreled bitterly with
his lawyers insisting there must be
some way whereby they can have
his sanity passed upon by the Cana
dian officials, but he has been as
sured this is impossible. Dissatis-
fed, Thaw has telegraphed former
Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania,
and two other American lawyers to
join him here.

Document Being Circulated
Among Smith Street Mer-
chants Today fer Signatures
LEASE OF PETERSON ON
HAkEY BLDG. FILED
Yearly Rental of $500 Ac-
cordins to Agreement Bank
Not Decided Over Lease

Merchants and business men gen
orally along Smith street today start
ed a remonstrance in circulation
against the locating of saloon by ].
N. Peerson in present headQuar-
ters of First National bank in the
Haney building at l10 Smith street.
1t is being literally signed, as indica-
tions are that none of the merchants
in the immediate vicinity of the place
desire liquor place there.
In accordance with a lease record
ed at the county seat yesterday, John
N. Peterson, a wholesale liquor deal
er of upper New Brunswick avenue,
has leased the Haney building from
George ]. Haney and other executors
of the estate of James P. Haney for
a term of five years with a privilege
of five more. Occupancy is to com
mence one month after the bank va
Gates and the yearly rental is $4,000
payable monthly.
Sigmund Splitter is much opposed
to having a saloon diagonally across
the street from his retail and whole
sale establishment in the Hotel Cen
tral. He expressed doubt that Ha-
ney heirs could properly let the prem
ises out for liquor dealing purposes
after a promise, he alleges was given
that there would be no liquor dealing
establishment there.
The location of Mr.. Peterson in
the building in question after it has
been vacated by the bank will de-
pend upon the action of the bank on
it's lease with the Haney heirs, 1t Is
declared. Should the bank decide
to hold it and take chances on sublet
ting the ground floor for the next
two years, Peterson may be kept out
during that time.

New York May Get Thaw.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 23.-In state
ment by one of the immigration Off
cials of the Dominion yesterday it was
brought out that New York state may
have Harry Thaw turned over to
properly designated officers of the
state. This statement puts an entire
ly new phase to the case.
1t appears that the practice in de
porting lunatics has usually been to
consult the nearest United States i'm,
migration inspector as to where the
lunatic should be sent back.
If custom Is followed in this case,
the man consulted would be John
Clarke, United States inspector at
Montreal, and his desire as to deporta,
ton would be complied with.
A possible obstacle to this plan
would be that Thaw's lawyers might
compel the Canadian authorities to
prove that he is a lunatic. Rather
than go to his expensive procedure
the immigration authorities would pre-.
fer simply to "reject" the fugitive
where he crossed the border.
