TOSS DICE TO RING
FALSE FIRE ALARM
GangSters Blamed by Hoboken
Chief for Faults of
Department..

That gsngsters shoot "crsps" 70 de-
termine who shall amuse the rest BY
turning in a false alarm Of fire at
night and cause the members of the
fire department OF " Il Ho-
boken 10 race across the town vas the
revelation made by Fire Chief Albert
Dillon at meeting Of the council yes
terday. when Councilman Theodore
Schafcr charged that the fire depart
ment was inefficient and inadequately
organized.
The chief showed the existing con-
ditions in answer 10 the allegation that
fire calls have not been answered
promptly by the department. It was
said that loss OF property and peril 20
life resulted.
Mr.. Dillon, who is a baker in private
life, said that it may have been true
that a call was not answered when II
came from a neighborhood from which
gangsters were in the habit Of turning
in false alarms.
1.-THE constabulary has not been able
TO catch the cuipritS." said the out
ragged chief. "but we have proof that
gangsters snake dice 20 determine who
shall turn the trick"
Steps will be taken by the council 20
pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale
in West Hoboken of "crap" shooting
in order that the fire de-
partment may in future answer every
call without fear OF tricks.
The constabulary has been ordered
also 10 keep watch for dice players.
SO IL is reasonable TO assume that in
future the Shooting Of sevens" will
not turn in n double nine" alarm IN
West HOboken.

SENATE DISPOSED
TO INDEPENDENCE
Republicans Foresee Many OPP
pOrtunities to Promote Demo-
cratic Dissension.
4 -on lie Tn5un. Rur.,r

Washington. Dec. 27.-For the first
time N many years Congress will re-
assemble before the holiday season has
given way 10 the midwinter routine. Il
viii take up next Tuesday the big tasks
OF the expiring session. Il is not eX-
pected. however. that much will be &C
complished until after New Years Day.
u Is possible that the Legislators will
be 50 reluctant 20 return 70 their work
that a quorum of the Senate or House
will not be present. The Republicans
Of the Senate will begin their offensive
campaign by demanding a quorum as
soon as the recess has expired.
After the holidays the Senate will
grind away AZ manifold tasks, and the
magnitude Of it's labors may be gath
cred from the following formidable list
Of measures, which. according 20 the
White House demand. must be disposed
Of before March 4, just ffty-seven
working days away: Fourteen appro-
priation bills. the ship purchase bill.
the Philippine bill. the administration
land leasing bill and two waterpower
bills.
The immigration bill is not included
in the administration list. but the SEN
ate has chosen TO add il of its own
volition.
The situation with respect 70 these
measures is not reassuring for the adj
ministration. The Senate machinery
is out of gear over tho patronage
Squabbe, and the majority which has
hitherto sustained the President for
the sake of party solidarity and peace
is showing a disposition 20 go its owr
way. whether party harmony is shat
tered or not. A. a political leader the
President is in eclipse.
Encouraged BY the results OF the
recent elections, the Republicans IN
he Senate will adopt more aggressive
tactics to encourage revolt and dis
sension on the majority side. They
will, without actually tilibusterinG.
which will not be necessary. insist upon
careful consideration of the measures
which the President hopes TO have en-
acted. Believing that the political
Cdds nov favor them, they Will lay
bare what they regard as the defects
o. the Democratic policy whenever oc-
casion arises during the discussion of
public measures.
The Philippine bill is now before the
Senate committee. which will resume
hearings on Tuesday. when Dean c.
Worcester. with the aid of moving
pictures. will explain conditions in the
Islands. Former President Taft will
appear before the committee early IN
January.
The problem presented by the bill.
the preamble Of which assures the
islands independence ~ soon as a
stable government has been estsb-
lished, has become much more perplex-
ing ia the last few days because OF
the reports of sedition and revolution
airy disturbances from Manila and other
cities and towns. II II doubtful
whether the bill can be reported before
January 10. when the burden of leg
islation will be piled high on the SEN
a,e's shoulders, and. with the debate It
will cause, it is difficult to foresee how
il is to be brought'to final vote.
