WILL BE- LIGHT

ST. PAUL, Minn., April 3d.
The ore movement from Minnesota
ranges will be light this season, ac-
cording to officials of the iron range

tol today. J. B. Hanson and H. john
son, general freight agent of the Du-
luth, Misabe & Northern and the Du-
.uth & Iron Range roads, respective
ly, were before the state railroad

900 tons, compared with 40,000,000
tons last year, and that part of this
years shipments are "forced" ton

Steam laundry, has through his at
torneys filed motion in district court

ScuIIy Challenges Havens to
Debate on Waterways at Big
Meetings Last Night In
Woodbridge and Roosevelt.

Democrats were active in Wood
bridge and Roosevelt last night and
are making extensive preparations
for a spectacular windup of the cam
paign for this year. The Democratic
County Committee will hold meet
ing at New Brunswick this afternoon
and plans are being made for meet
ings of all Democratic organizations
Of this city Monday night. Arrange
ments have already been made to
have clubs of the first, third and
fourth wards meet Monday night and
1t was announced today that 1t was
practically certain that sixth ward
Democrats would meet Monday
night. The purpose of those meet
ings, like that for the county meet
ing today, will be to close the cam
paign with as much effectiveness as
possible.
Big Meeting In Woodbridge.
The demonstration which Demo-
Gratis of Woodbridge Township and
vicinity held last night was one of
the biggest and most impressive in
the history of Democracy in the
township. 1t was conducted along
the same line as the big rally in this
city was Thursday night. The in
itial number on the program was a
parade about the principal streets of
the township. Led by the Wood
bridge Citizens fife, drum and bugle
corps, several hundred men carry
ing banners and red fire, marched
from about 1880 to o'clock The
start and finish was made at the new
postoffice building.
The meeting which followed was
held In the open air. Speakers oc-
cupied platform constructed on the
floor beams of the postoffice struc-
ture and the audience thronged the
street, sidewalk and land about the
new building. Robert A. Hirner pre-
sided until near the end OF the meet
ing, when he was called to 60 to
Roosevelt and speak. James p Ger
ity took his place as chairman. Sur
rogate Clayton, the first speaker,
praised the township for its growth.
Harry Medinets. young lawyer
from Perth Amboy, lauded the Dem
ocratic candidates In general and
County Clerk B. NJ Cannon In par
ticular. Mr.. Cannon was rendered
the greatest reception OF the even
ing and it was several minutes before
he was able to speak because of the
long-lasting cheers and applause
He replied to William H. Quacken-
boss, his most bitter opponent. The
county clerk ridiculed Mr.. Quacken-
boss statement that If he was elect
ed he would save the county hun
dreds of dollars. Assuming that his
opponent would save the maximum
Of hundreds of dollars, Mr.. Cannon
said, he would not be saving the tax
payers more than a cent and a half
per $1,000, and he maintained there
could be no more saving than there
had been If the high standard of eff
f1ciency now prevalent in the county
clerks office was maintained.

BOND ISSUE OF
$4,000 SOLD
IN THIS CITY

Temporary improvement certif-
Gates to the aggregate amount of
s125,000, to furnish funds tempora-
rily to pay for city improvements,
have been sod to persons in and
about this city. They are for one
year and bear interest at the rate Of
six per cent. The issue was made
necessary because of stringency In the
money market, it having been found
impossible to market city bonds
within the rate limit of five per cent.
The certificates were for amounts
ranging from 5000 to $4,000, ac-
cording to the desires of the pur-
chasers. When City Treasurer
Charles K. Seaman began the work
he went around to interview men
of means and was informed by some
that they would take the certificates
If he could not dispose of them 9TH
erwise, but preferred not to take
them. Mr.. Seaman then found little
difficulty in disposing Of the certifi-
Gates among money holders in this
section.
The Board of Aldermen originally
passed a resolution for $4,000
worth of certificates. At a subse-
quent meeting, the board adopted
another resolution for $4,000
worth, bringing the aggregate sum
up to $125,000. Because money
lenders would not accept bonds for
less than six per cent, and the min
imum rate limit fixed by law is five
per cent, regular bonds were declar-
ed out of the question at this time.

CANNON HUR[S HOT SHOT INTO
CANDIDACY OF QUACKENB0SS;
WILSON AGAIN RAPS PAVING
First Ward Alderman Continues
Attacks on Democratic PaV-
Ing Contracts at Sixth Ward
Rally; Woodbridge Session.
Greater activity is being displayed

Greater activity is being displayed
by the Republicans of this city and
vicinity at the present time than at
any other period of the 1914 cam
paign. Strenuous efforts are being
exerted for an effective conclusion of
the work. There will be a meeting
of the Republican county committee
at New Brunswick this afternoon and
meetings will be held in the sixth
ward tomorrow night and the fourth
ward Monday night. Alderman Will
liam c. Wilson drew marked atten-
tion at sixth ward meeting last
night when he made further state
ments concerning the alleged favor
men for asphalt block pavements.
The Republicans Of the fourth ward
showed loyalty to the G. o.. p. cause
when they waited until / o'clock this
morning to hear county candidates
speak. A warn reception was ten
dered county and other candidates at
a rally held in Masonic hall in Wood
bridge last night
Alderman Wilson claimed that
there could have been much saving
and more durable pavements could
have been constructed if the asphalt
block variety had not been favored
to the extent he declared it was by
Democratic officeholders His re-
marks interested the voters who
gathered in Stas's hall to hear the
Republican speakers and many of his
statements We're interpreted by
speakers in foreign languages for the
benefit of the voters who could not
understand English He declared
that if the original petition for a
brick pavement on Amboy avenue
had been observed and one had not
asphalt block, the taxpayers would
have been saved a. string OF one-dol-
lar bills that would have stretched
the entire length of the pavement il
laid end to end and there would have
been at least a hundred bills left
over to hang on tree. He declared
thousands of dollars could have been
similarly saved if local contractors
had been given hand in the con-
struction of about mile and a half
of pavements that had been laid of
late. He lauded Mayor Ferd Garrett
son for endeavoring to have work
done by local men and to keep prices
down, at the same time deploring
the acts of Democratic officeholders
In awarding many contracts to the
Hastings Pavement Company. AS he
had previously done, he endeavored
to show how the out-of-town concern
bid much higher on excavation, set
ting of curb and placing of concrete
than local contractors had done. Re-
garding the difference In the prices,
Mr. Wilson said, "You boys have got
to pay for It, Where does 1t go?"
1t is expected that Mr.. Wilson will
appear at meeting Of sixth ward
voters In store at Compton avenue
and Groom street tonight and reply
to attacks made by Thomas Brown

Special TO the EVENING NEWS.


London, Oct. 31:-Interest in the
Turkish situation is increasing in in
tensity as a result of the failure of
the Porte officially to declare war on
Russia, Despite the sinking of the
Russian gunboat Donets, the damag-
ing of several other vessels and the
destruction of much property in
Odessa harbor and the other acts by
the Turks reported from various
Black sea points, the Turkish gov
ernment has not assumed official re-
sponsibility. The Turkish ambassa-
dor at last accounts remained in Pet
rograd and was reported to be en-
deavoring to influence his govern
ment to disavow the actions of its
warships and to preserve peace by
promising an indemnity.
The diplomatic representatives of
Great Britain and France at Con-
stantinople were reported to be max
ing it plain to the sultan and his ad-
visers that war with Russia of ne
cessity means war with the allies.
There is only the slightest ray of hope
that Turkey will be kept out of the
war. The young Turks are admit
tedly in control. They are pro-Ger-
man and believe that Turkeys only
hope of "resuming her place in the
sun" is to throw her weight with
Germany and Austria.
Circumstancial stories from Rome
declare Constantinople has already
heard of naval battle between Rus
sian and Turkish fleets, but there
is no confirmation of this and Rome
news has been singularly unreliable
during the war England is in readi-
ness to prevent any invasion of Egypt
by the Turks If she is drawn into

There has been much mystery over
the whereabouts Of the Australian
and New Zealand units who have
been at various times reported or
the firing line. II is now understood
that they are In Egypt and have been
guarding the entire length of the
Suez canal for several weeks. In
addition certain first line troops have
been quietly sent to Egypt to re-en-
force the garrisons there and so far
as England is concerned it Is stated
that every precaution has been taken
to meet any emergency that might
result from any action of Turkey.

POLICE GET CLUE
WHO
CRACKED SAFE
Evening News Locates Two
Men in TottenviIe Who
Heard Explosion and Saw
One of Alleged CraCksmen.

The police believe they have
clue that will lead TO the arrest of
the cracksmen that blew the big safe
in the rear of Joseph Christ, Jr and
Company store Thursday night or
early yesterday morning. Chief of
Police Burke was sanguine this
morning at the progress mis- neh had
made, and en- arrest In the case may
be made by Monday. His men have
recovered seven dresses and suit
of mems clothing which were stolen.
Two u en- have been located by the
NEWS who claim that the safe was
blown about 10 O'Clock Thursday
night, and not early yesterday morn
ing, as was believed yesterday. The
two young men, who believe they
saw one of the cracksmen are Daniel
Skidmore, of Butler avenue, Tot
tenville, and James Hooper, Of Am
boy avenue, Tottenville. The two
young men say that they arrived at
the first show at the Majestic theatre
after 1t had begun and left the play
house in the middle of the second
performance about 10 O'Clock. AS
they passed the Christ store, Skid
more says that he heard an explo-
sion, which sounded like a thud, be-
cause of its being muffled. He turn
ed to his companion and said, 81 bet
another safe is gone They looked
toward the store, but could see moth
ing suspicious inside, though they
recognized a small man standing
outside, as II watching to see that
no one interrupted his pals. The
two young men, however, did not
stop, and left Perth Amboy to work
out its own salvation, and hurried to
the ferry. When yoIpg ;kidmore
saw the account of the safe blowing
in the NEWS yesterday, he immedi-
ately recalled the description of the
short man ne had seen standing just
inside the doorway of the Christ
store, and stated that the suit Of
clothes, which one of the burglars
left and which was found by Detec-
tive Sergeant Huff would be about
the right size for the man he saw.
He said that the suspected confed-
ate had a dark complexion, wore a
derby hat and q brown overcoat,
and was short in stature, probably
Ave feet, six or seven inches In
height,
Ghief of Police Burke las come to
the conclusion that the dynamite
fuse was exploded by attaching the
wire connecting it to small forty
cent fiashlight battery. Much larger
batteries were used in the other two
cracksmen's jobs during the past
three months. However, the little
fiashlight battery can give as potent
throb momentarily for setting off
the fuse cap, and is more convenient
to carry, Chief Burke stated this
morning. The miniature battery
was found among the burglars tools.
Detective Sergeants Huff and Long
are working hard to run down a
promising clue, and an arrest by
Monday In the case may be made.
1t appears that 10 o'clock Thursday
night was an opportune time to effect
the job, as the Democratic meeting
In the Auditorium had taken nearly
everyone from the streets.
