10000 MEN NOW
WORK IN PLANTS

Secretary Hugh Lynch, of the
Board of Trade, has compiled statis-
tics for publication In the New Jersey
State Industrial Directory, showing
the increased activities In local in
dustries. The last report was COM
piled for the State Bureau of Statis-
tics in 1911.
In 1911 the twenty-five principal
industries of Perth Amboy employed
$500 men. Ten thousand men are
employed in these industries at the
present time, according to the statis-
tics. This is remarkable increase
in view OF the fact that some of the
industries have not been operating
at full force recently.
In 1911 local property was valued
at $18,319, 1000, but the valuation
now is $20,674, 900, an increase of
thirteen per cent. Two new schools
have been built since the last report
was made, and the number of build
ing loans have increased from three
to five. The statistics are very en-
couraging, since they show rapid
progress made in Perth Amboy dur
ing the lapse of three years.

appointment as attorney general OF
the state in the future
The protest was embodied in a set
of resolutions which passed the body
unanimously. The meeting was at
tended by forty or more representa-

the city which are affiliated with the
Central Labor Union. Copies of the
resolutions will be sent to Presi-
dent Wilson, Governor Fielder, Con-

HEARING ON GRADE
CROSSING AFFECTS
DECISION LOCALLY
Freeholder Kerr Will Support
Eiy's Resolution, He Says.

TITS a good move" declared Free
holder A. T. Kerr, of South Amboy,
this morning, when asked by a
NEWS man what he thought of the
proposition espoused by Freeholder
Andrew Ely, of Dayton, to have the
Board of Freeholders investigate the
rates charged by the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Company on the ferry
between Tottenville and this city.
Mr.. Kerr said that he would support
resolution calling for such probe.
Mr.. Ely at the next meeting of the
board, Monday, intends bringing be-
fore the board the advisability Of
considering the present rates of the
company, in view of a probable re-
duction. According to the recent
decision of the United States Su-
preme Court the Board of Freehold
ers of any county in the state has
the power to regulate the charges on
ferries operating between points In
New Jersey and New York.
1t is believed that the proposition
to probe the rates will meet the ap-
proval of majority of the board,
and such an investigation may be
ordered through a special investiga-
tor by the board Monday. or the
body may undertake the probe itself.
Unless the company puts in effect the
contemplated reductions at an early
date 1t may be required to lessen its
charges by the Board of Freeholders.

NEW SENSATION
IN DIVORCE CASE
Woman Suing E. c. Dey Not
With Him Here.

somewhat of sensation was
caused yesterday among certain
prominent families in this city when
they read in the EVENING NEWS
the account of the action being
brought by Mrs. Catherine T. Dey
for divorce from her husband
Edward c. Dey, an automobile sales
man. The fact that Mrs. Dey charges
her husband with desertion since
1907 was the cause of much specu-
lation as 1t is well known that when
Mr.. Dey lived at the Warren House
year or two ago he had a woman
companion who posed as his wife
and was accepted as Mrs. Dey in
some of the best homes in the city.
She took an active part in church
work and was more or less promf-
nent socially.
1T now develops that the Mrs. Dey
who Is suing for divorce is not the
woman who was accepted as Mrs
Dey here. According to John v,
Laddey, attorney for Mrs. Dey, the
woman who lived at the Warren
House with Mr.. Dey was school
teacher whose former home was In
New York. 1t is declared that she
was teaching at small New Jersey
town when she first met Mr.. Dew.
In the affidavit of Mrs. Catherine T
Dey, which has been filed in the court
of chancery, she swears that she has
son, whom Mr.. Dey has failed to
support. Those that remember the
Mrs. Dey of 1912 at the Warren
House, distinctly remember that
there was no child In that family.
The solicitor for Mrs. Catherine I.
Dey will go before Vice Chancellor
Howell June 80 to ask the chancellor
to order Mr.. Dey to pay for her sup
port and the support of her child,
pending the outcome of the divorce
suit.
1t is reported that the woman who
was with Mr.. Dey in this city is now
living with Mr.. Dey's mother in
Asbury Park. This Mrs. Dey, the
mother denied this morning when
questioned on the telephone, but she
admitted that the woman had been
there some time ago and that she
was at one time with Mr.. Dey in
Perth Amboy. 1t is understood that
when living in New Brunswick Mr.
| Dey's mother made her home with
| the pair.
According to the record of the
Warren House, Mr.. Dey and the
woman supposed to be his wife, left
the place during October, 1912. They
went to New Brunswick, 1t is said,
and later Mr.. Dey, it is declared,
furnished an apartment in Living
ston avenue, that city, where he was
manager for an automobile concern.
He relinquished that position the
first of this year, it is declared, and
went to Philadelphia, where he work
ed for another automobile company.
Recently he returned to this city in
connection with a local garage.
When Mr.. Dey was asked If the
Mrs. Dey who is suing for a divorce
is the same who passed as Mrs. Dey
at the Warren House, he refused to
answer and referred his questioneT
to his lawyer. When asked for the
attorneys name, Mr.. Dey said that
he, himself, would see his solicitor
about the matter. No word has since
been heard from Mr. Dey.

DECISION On WATER
SYSTEM PROJECT IS
DELAYED BY PROTEST
Better Pressure and Clearer
Water as Result.

With the stopping of leakage to
the extent of 100000 gallons Of
water a day in the city's system has
come the cleaning of water mains
throughout the city, which means
clear water and increased pressure,
announced Water superintendent
Thomas Grieve today. He began a
series of "pipe-blowing" experiments
last night which, with the added
pressure afforded by the leak stop
page, was successful. There was a
great improvement shown in the
condition of the water drawn today
as compared with the muddy supply
sometimes received.
Mr.. Grieve today expressed him
self as highly pleased with the ex-
pertinent and said the blowing would
be continued nightly for some time,
with expectations of eventually pro-
curing water here which at all times
will be as clear and sparkling as that
pumped at the Runyon water works.
the superintendent stated that water
pumped from the station is not dirty
or muddy, but on the contrary as
clear as crystal. 1t becomes dirty in
the mains about the city, some of
which are lined with sediment of
years accumulation on the interior
He stated that some lines had been
in service for about thirty years.
The interior of the walls of these he
concluded were both corroded and
covered with sediment deposited up
on them when pond and artesian
water was pumped into the system.
By means of the systematic blow
ing of the mains at the waterfront
ends, Mr.. Grieve intends to clean the
interior of the lines. With the high
pressure secured at night, coupled
with the benefit of serious leak stop
page, sediment is stirred up by veloc-
ity of the water and carried from the
pipe ends. The operation may be
continued for few weeks and per-
haps for a month, says Mr.. Grieve,
as it Is to be kept up until thor
oughly clean system is insured.
The most serious leaks were found
in the older twenty-four-inch water
main under Raritan river. They
have been repaired and the pressure
was thereby boosted about six pounds
in the low parts. There is a saving
of coal and labor at the pumping
station and the pumps are relieved
of a heavy strain and much extra
wear.

City Of Paterson Will be Given
Hearing on Grade Crossings
Thursday Of Next Week-De
lay in The Investigations.
THE DECISION MAY FOLLOW
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, June 12.-Another hear
ing on the application of the city Of
Paterson for the elimination of the
grade crossing on the Erie railroad
in the city will be conducted next
Thursday by the State Board of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners. The Pat
erson petition before the state board
is unusually important, not alone be-
cause of the character of the grade
crossings involved, but also because
the decisions upon the similar petit
tions of Perth Amboy, Crawford and
Rutherford are being held until the
board gathers all necessary legal,
technical and general information to
insure that its rulings in the cases
will stand the test not only of the
state courts, but also of the United
States supreme court. This explains
the long delay in deciding the Perth
Amboy grade crossing case.
The position of the State Board
with reference to a decision in the
Perth Amboy, Crawford and Ruther-
ford cases was learned today to be as
follows:
The members of the board believe
that the legislature had the right to
vest an agency of the state with pow
er to require the elimination of grade
crossings, and they believe further
ina this right can be demonstrated
before the state courts and even the
United States supreme court. The
members OF the board think, how
ever, that any order made by 1t re-
quiring the elimination of a railroad
grade crossing at the expense of the
railroads will be contested bitterly
by the railroad company, and that
the legislative right must be affirm
ed by judicial determination before
1t can become effectually operative.
There is no doubt, whatever"
said representative of the board to-
day, 'but that any decision of this
board calling for grade crossing re-
moval will be appealed through the
state courts and to the United States
supreme court. 1t is highly import
ant, therefore, that every step taken
by this board, particularly affecting
the legal and engineering phases of
the question, shall be duly guarded.
With the right of the board to or
der grade crossing removal affirmed
by the highest courts and the prob
iShuo VI pioCtdul q oOlfeu, lHb
physical work of removing the cross
ings could go forward promptly and
satisfactorily. Undue haste under a
new act, involving novel procedure or
neglect >on the part of the board to
assur far as 1t can be assured,
the 'ecord on which its rders
are ,s.sed will stand successfully the
scrutiny Of the courts will not facili-
tate, but materially delay the pro-
gress which should be made under
the act"
The petition of Perth Amboy for
the removal of the grade crossings
on the Central railroad was filed con-
siderably more than a year ago, and
the hearings on the petition were
conducted by the board last summer.
The petitions of Crawford and Ruth
erford were filed several months
ago. In all these cases the board is
now reviewing the testimony and
with the help of its engineers is con-
sidering the engineering features in
volved should the crossings be order
ed removed.

MAN
KILLED BY TRAIN
Mystery as to Why He Was
Walking Along Tracks.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Helmetta, June 12:-Charles
Smoke, fifty-two years old, a we'll
known resident of this place, was
found at 3 o'clock this morning along
the tracks of the Camden & Amboy
division dead. The body was found
by Raymond Farr, a member of the
drill crew, and was still warm, show
ing that life had left the body but a
sh ort time before.
The body had been cut in two Just
above the waist line and no further
marks were on the body. How the
dead man came to be on the tracks
at that time of the night is consider
ed very mysterious as Mr. Smoke re-
tired last night shortly before 10
O'Clock as he complained of feeling
i'll. The fact that the body was still
warm shows that he had been dead
but short time. 1t is possible that
he arose In his sleep and dressed
himself and started to walk to
Jamesburg, where he has a married
daughter, Mrs. Joseph Cooper, and
his habit of visiting her several
times a week may have possessed
him when he started out in his
slumber. He was still in bed and
asleep after 12 o'clock this morning
and this fact adds mystery to how he
arose, left the house without any of
his five children or his wife hearing
him.
Dr. Edgar Carroll, county physi-
clan, of Dayton, viewed the body and
gave a permit for its removal Fune-
raj arrangements have not been COM
pleted as yet.
Mr.. Smoke was resident of this
country for over twenty-five years,
coming from Russia. For over fif-
teen years he was employed on the
construction train of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company, and also act
ed as interpreter on many occasions.
Several months ago he removed to
Helmetta from Jamesburg, where he
has been employed by the George w.
Helme Company for the past ten
years in the manufacturing depart
ment. He is survived by wife and
si1 children: Mrs. Joseph Cooper,
Jamesburg; Misses Annie and Sophia
Smoke. and John and Joseph Smoke,
of Helmetta.
