Fire in Madison Pumping
Station Does $500 Damage;
Water Supply Not Affected

MADISON, March 4.-Fire in the
North street pumping station early
today burned out coils and armatures
to the extent of several hundred dol
lars and will probably result in the
further Gripping of the towns pump
ing system. The fire was confined to
the electrical apparatus of the sta
ton. tt started during the absence
of William Rowe, the engineer in
charge.
Fire Chief Samuel A. Gruber and
several MEMBERS of the local fire force
succeeded in eXtinguishing the flames
with hand eXtinguishers. The fire
pumping engine will probably be sent
to the assistance of the station dur
ing the next few days. AS a result
of the fire the station will be COM
PEELED to pump the town sewage into
a brock nearby, instead of over Ridge
dale avenue.
1t is probable that the authorities
will send call to d. NJ. Shea, who
installed the electrical system sta
lions, to repair the damaged machin-
cry This is the second time within
two years that the pumping station
has been disabled by fire. The other
fire occurred on November G, 1912.

ernor Stokes, who came here to spend
Sunday with his brother. Howard K.
Stokes, who lives on the outskirts,
waited at the Pennsylvania station in
vain for a train. To return to his
brothers home was impossible, be-
cause of high drifts and fallen wires,
and 1t began to look as though New
Jerseys former Governor would have
to spend the night in the little wait
ing room.
Gilbert Mason, however, recognized
him as the man who ran against his
father for Governor last fall. Young
Mason insisted that he should spend
the night at the parsonage of the
First Presbyterian Church, where his
father, Rev. James Gilbert Mason,
Prohibition candidate for Governor of
New Jersey last fall. received his
former opponent gracefully.
While Stokes was Governor DR. Ma

|WHY BREDENBEK

| TRENTON, March 4.-Legislators
and others who were astonished last
night when Assemblyman Magnus
Bredenbek, of Hudson county. re-
| signed from his five committees to-
day offered an explanation of Breden-
bek's action.
"Bredenbek was told to sit down by
the speaker so often,' they said,
that he decided to remove the neces-
sity of rising frequently by quitting
the committees"
The Hudson assemblyman' pen

end with his resignation from his
committees
Assemblyman Branegan, Democratic

resignation over to the clerk of the
Assembly.
Immediately Bredenbek was on his

Bredenbek attempted to proceed.
''Sit down!" said the speaker again,
and Bredenbek sat down.
Members of the Assembly half ex-
pected the Hudson asemblyman
would resign his seat after this, but
he did not rise to the occasion.
Branegan's motion, by the way, was
carried.
Bredenbek's ire at the speaker,
which resulted In his resignation from
| his committees, is said to have
reached the boiling point last Thurs
day night, when he opposed the con-
sideration of a bill which he said
was incorrectly printed. He was a
member of the committee on printed
bills. He and Speaker Beekman soon
were involved in wrangle, which
came abruptly to an end when the

to hand in his resignation, although
he denies it.
Besides being member of the
committee on printed bills, Breden-
bek was chairman of the committees
on taxation, revision of laws, rules
and public health.

HOUSEWIVES WANT
SERVANTS LISTED
Ask Summit Council to Enforce
Law Making Employment
Agencies Keep Record.
Especial to the Evening start

SUMMIT, March 4.--The House
wives League Of Summit is going to
urge the strict enforcement of the
law requiring employment agencies
to keep a record for persons for
whom they secure employment
Mrs. Lemuel Skidmore, president of
the league, last night sent another
letter to Common Council asking that
council lend its aid in seeing that
the law is enforced in this city.
Mrs. Skidmore wrote that the re-
quirement of the law that a person
seeking employment have one recon-
mendation from his or her last en-
ployer is an aid to domestic service
in that such persons who are not
reliable or worthy cannot secure such
recommendation, and will therefore
be ''weeded out"
From a lawyer in New York named
Monahan was received a communities
ton addressed to 1.-THE Trustees of
the Township of Summit, Union
County" that proved a puzzle to the
councilmen. The lawyer wrote that
William j. Curtis, "a trustee of the
township of Summit" had been in
terested in some property in New
York, title to which the lawyer is
endeavoring to clear. Not knowing
Mr. Curtis's whereabouts or whether
he is alive or dead, the lawyer adj
dressed the notice as above.
Mr.. Curtis, who is a member of the
law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, ono
of the best known law firms in the
country, was for many yearsr a resi-.
dent of this city, removing about ter
years ago to New York cit from the
handsome home which he built al

IN RAGING STORM
Woman Sought Shelter Beside
corncrib, While Husband Tried
VainIy to Reach Her.

HOPEWELL, March Awhile the
binding snow and gale ragged around
her and the frost gradually stole over
her and numbed her limbs. Mrs.
Lewis Savage, of this place, knelt
down by the side of a corncrib at the
side of the road Sunday night and
prayed for nine hours. When day
light came and with it a lull in the
blizzard, and a rescue party was sent
out to save her, she was found kneel-
ing unconscious in the snow. Details
of the affair have just been learned
owing to the storm.
Mrs. Savage returned Sunday night
from Trenton and was met at the
Hopewell station by her husband,
who keeps a country crossroads store
at Mount Rose, about three miles
from here. Husband and wife started
for home in a sleigh, but after they
had gone two miles the roads became
impossible and they were compelled
to abandon the sleigh. Unhitching
the horse Savage placed his wife on
its back and proceeded again The
horse staggered along through the
piercing gale. stumbling and sliding,
feeling his way through the darkness,
until Mrs. Savage became so ex-
hausted that she could go no further.
Her husband wrapped her in a shawl
and placed her behind the sheltered
side of corncrib at the side of the
road, realizing that it would be i'm
possible for her to continue. and
thinking to secure help at the near
est village. Himself, half blinded, he

ing Mount Rose.
Relatives and friends, led by Ed

rescue to woman But they had
hardly gone more than several hun
dred yards when they realized that
1t would be an impossible task. They
then telephoned to +. l.. Blackwell,
liveryman, at Hopewell. Blackwell
organized another party, consisting
of himself, Charles Williamson, Ed
ward Yates, A. n. Johnson and John
BLACKWELL. The party started out at
10 o'clock and proceeded about a mile
when they became so exhaus ed that
they were forced to take refuge L.

or the party stayed there all of the
night, but Williamson and the two
l'lackwells returned home John
Blackwell had to be carried into his
house.
When daylight came party of
fourteen were able to start out again.
They found Mrs Savage unconscious
and carried her home. After three
hours she recovered consciousness
and told of how she had believed

Woman's hands and feet are badly
frozen, but it is believed that she will

PARTY SPLIT ON

Democrats Divided Into Fac

Representative Bremner.
Especial to the Evening Start

PATTERSON, March 4.-With pri-
mary day for the election of candi-
dates for Congress to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Congressman
Robert G.. Bremner less than three
weeks away, things political are stir
ring in the Seventh congressional
district. There is a rumpus in the
Democratic ranks that may be car
ried through to the special election
day, set by Governor James f.
Fielder for April Z. n the Republican
party, the fight for the nomination
among the several candidates is per-
haps the bitterest ever waged in the
district This Is made so by the
belief prevalent among the Republi-
cans that the man whom their party
dominates will have a "walkover" so
to speak.
The entrance into the race of James
O'Byrne, secretary to United States
Senator William Hughes, does not
meet with the approval of the Demo-
cratic County Committee. While that
body has taken no official action in
the matter, it is generally understood
that the county body will stand by
Judge W. Darlington Cabell, of Pas
sale. Then on the other hand, there
are a number of prominent Demo-
| Gratis. both regulars" and Wilson
Democrats" who declare they will not
| stand by Cabell even though he is
nominated and as the other three

actely what the upshot of Nthe affair
will be.
"shalI Hughes Run District"
! The question asked by many Demo
Gratis is: "Shall Senator Hughes run
| things in this district, or shall the
| county committee?
The defeat of O'Byrne will be taken
as an indication of the disapproval by
Democrats of Senator Hughes. The
defeat of Cabell will mean that
Hughes Is greater than the county
committed Each faction, realizing
what the result means. is determined

How Senator Hughes's attitude in
