FLAMES SWEEP
SALOON; z FIRES
Barroom in Hall Ave. Gutted
by Blaze.

The barroom of Paul Piasecki's
saloon at III Hall avenue was swept
by flames and several families were
driven from their beds from the two
story brick tenement about clock
this morning. The saloon was rem
dered a wreck by the fire The build
ing is owned by s. Solomon. The
damage is estimated at 5000 for the
stock and 5000 for the building.
Some wallpaper ignited on the
second floor of 81 Madison avenue
shortly after o'clock this morning
and caused a fire scare, but the
flames were extinguished before the
firemen arrived.
How the fire that partially destroy
ed the saloon originated Is not
known. Patrolman Rymarczyk dis
covered smoke issuing from the
building and gave the alarm from
box No. sc at Hall avenue and
Charles street. He awakened the
sleeping family OF the saloonkeeper
and the other tenants on the second
floor. The fremen confined the
flames almost exclusively to the
saloon part of the building, where
the fire is believed to have originat-
ed.
The blaze at 81 Madison avenue,
the home of Principal Henry s.
Hulse, was extinguished by Rasmus
Nielsen, a paperhanger, who was re-
papering the walls in the vacant
s. -rtments on the second floor. He
says that he left the room after he
had been smoking and returned to
find pieces of wallpaper on the floor
ignited. Besides damaging some of
the paper the flames only charred a
small area of the floor Alarm was
given from box 27 at Paterson street
and Madison avenue.

Z CASES AGAINST
PUBLIC SERVICE
Free Transportation Fight of
Perth Amboy On.


Trenton, June 3:-In two cases
begun before the supreme court here
yesterday there are considerations
involved that may eventually prove
of vital interest to every community
In New Jersey, from the largest city
to the smallest hamlet. One of the
cases is that of the city of Platnfield
against the Public Service Electric
Company affecting the major portion
OF the free lighting of that city ex-
changed by ordinance with the Pub
lie Service whereby the latter re-
celVed permission to lay conduits
through the streets. Formerly mu-
inequalities gave franchises to cor
porations with out asking for some
thing in return. More recently 1t
has been the custom to insist on free
lighting of certain parts of towns,
roads, etc. In order to meet this
demand of the municipalities the
Public Service has seized as its in
strument of the famous seven sis
ters" acts, claiming that the act in
question prohibits such contracts, as
outlined above, between public util-
ity corporations and municipalities
or even between such companies and
private individuals. If this conten-
tion be true then all free lighting
contracts with municipalities must
cease, and as there are thousands of
them, the Public Service, it appears,
must be the. gamer by many thou
sands of dollars.
The other case is that of the City
of Perth Amboy and the Public
Service Electric Company involving
free car transportation for certain
classes of citizens. Again the Seven
Sisters the supposed terror Of the
trusts and like concerns, becomes a
boon to the Public Service by for
bidding such contracts, it is argued.
This case is In the errors court, and
if this construction of the law Is
recognized and upheld then all free
transportation for firemen, police
men and other city employees will be
discontinued with the consequent ex-
pense to cities and profit to the
Public Service.

race in the Lexington Herald
John Sherman, the well-known
political writer said in part :"Be-
fore the end of the campaign
those who believe in the control
of the Democratic party by the
liquor interests are likely to be
found lined up behind Mr.. STAN
ley, and those who believe in the
regulation of the liquor business,
or in its ultimate destruction if it
will not be decent, behind Mr..
Beckham. The result of such a
contest ought not be in doubt
for a minute in any American
Commonwealth"

GOES TO
LAST REWARD
Mrs. Mile Jane Stephens, Wife
of Mr.. ]. Q. Stephens Dies
Saturday.

On Saturday, March the 2Ist,
due to the inhrmities of age, Mrs.
Mile Jane Stephens, wife of
James Quisenberry Stephens,
passed to her reward.
Mrs. Stephens was 81 years
old the past October and had
been married for more than GO
years. To them had been born
II children, 6 of whom Mrs. Will
liam Taylor and Mrs. John E.
James, of Bushton, Ill. Mr.. John
l.. Stephens, of Charleston, I'll. ;
Mrs. John F. Richardson, w. Q.
and c. B. Stephens, together
with her husband survive. Fun
eral services were held at the
residence, Monday, March 23rd,
con Quoted by Rev. B. w. Trim
bic and the remains laid to rest
in Machpelah cemetery.
Her posterity consisted of II
children, ~ gran d-children and
30 great grandchildren.
Since a mere child Mrs. Steph-
ems had been a member of the
Sycamore Christian Church, this
county. She possessed the true
elements of the Saints in Christ,
having exercised repentance to-
wards God and faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, and her beautiful
life and obedience were evidences
of her sincerity in the everlast-
ing salvation of His elect. Her
children are living opponents of
the true Christian mother as al
so are her grandchildren and
great grandchildren. Her devo-
ton to her family and more es-
pecially to her aged and sightless
husband was without a parallel
and she held to life, wanting the
twain to pass together. 1t has
been said that woman excels man
in humility, gentleness, modesty
and in endurance, but these lives
were without perceptible dis
tinction; loyalty, gentlene ss and
loneliness being their common
heritage.
The bridge between these two
saints will soon be passed and
they, with others of the redeem
ed will be reunited family.

EFFECT OF INSURANCE SUSPENSION
Will BE- FELT BY: EVERYONE
Experience Of Missouri last year shows what Kentucky may expect
and the great loss will entail to the business and
IdbOrng man.

Fire insurance companies do
ing business in Kentucky have
been forced to suspend writing
because of the enactment of the
Glenn-Greene bill, under which
they claim that it is impossible
for them to do busin ess with
safety or profit. This withdraw
al of insurance protection will
have a very material effect upon
the business, credit and prosper
ity of the state. In view of this
a review of what happened in
Missouri, where the fire insur-
ance companies were forced to
suspend operations last year be-
cause of similarly obnoxious leg
islation, is of interest.
The general result in Missouri
was to restrict commercial cred
its, check the making of loans
and mortgages, divert business
from the state, lessen business
activities and throw labor out Of
employment. The evil effects in
Kentucky threaten to be more
serious and immediate than in
Missouri. In the latter state the
companies gave several weeks
notice of their intention to stop
writing on a given day, and the
commercial interests had time to
protect all their insurance re-
quirements for several months to
come, although this frequently
involved double insurance. In
Kentucky, however, the bill
pending in the legislature, i'm
posing heavy penalty upon in
surance companies for suspend
ing the writing of business, made
it unsafe for them to give this
advance notice, and their sus-
pension was immediate.
The first effect of the suspen-
sion in Missouri, as it probably
will be in Kentucky, was to af-'
feet commercial credits. Fire in
surance is the basis of CONNER
cial credit, the wholesalers and
manufacturers insisting that their
goods unpaid for in the hands of
retailers must be protected by
sound fire insurance. AS soon as
the wholesalers found that this
protection was endan-
gered they reduced their lines of
credit and insisted upon imme-
date payment. The important
banks, life insurance companies,
and other money-loaning inter
