DECKHAND MEETS
DEATH IN RIVER

James Mcclure, of 1896 Market
street, employed as a deckhand on
the steamboats, of the Newark and
New York Express and Transporta-
ton Company, was drowned yester-
day. The accident happened while
the boat was tied up to the Joy Line
pier in East River, New York,
While no one saw the mishap, 1t is
believed that MCGUIRE attempted to
walk along the narrow ledge outside
the house on the second deck of the
boat and missed his footing. A deep
cut on his forehead is believed TO
have been caused by striking against
the rail of the steamer, probably stun
ming him and preventing him from
keeping afloat or giving an alarm.
When MCGUIRE was missed boat
was lowered and, after a search of
more than an hour. his body was re-
covered. The body was brought to
Newark this afternoon. Mr.. Mcguire
was born in Ireland thirty EIGHT wears
ago, and has lived in Newark twelve
years. He is survived by his wife and
one daughter, Catherine, five years of
age. He also has mother in Ireland,
five brothers and four sisters.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning, when a requiem mass will
be offered In ST. Johns Church. Null

ing young Llppman broke through
which became twisted around his
body and gave him the appearance at
first glance OF being bound. No one
knew he was playing on the rooe.
The cry of Ripper" was taken up
by many of the neighbors. and for
a time there was likelihood of a small
panic, but Harry Tatlltzky. a young
law student, who lives at Sc Mon
mouth street, dlspelied the mistake
by going to the bottom of the light
shaft and examining the injuries Of
the boy. He found that the ropes
around him were fragments of the
clotheslines he had crashed through.
His discovery was timely. as many
of the excited persons in the Gro wd
had hastily armed themselves with
revolvers and clubs, and might have
done harm to some chance passerby
whose appearance would excite sus-
picion.
DIR. l.. l.. Davidson, of 116 Spruce
street, who was summoned, found
that the boy was in dying condition
and ordered his removal to Beth
Israel Hospital At that institution
no hope for his recovery was held
out. The boys mother was pros
trated by the accident and was re-
moved from the street to her home,
where she required medical attention.
A similar fatal accident occurred
at the same house about seven years
ago.

That the ma iority of the members

About 250 persons of various ma

KurtZ further said a movement was
on foot among some of the members
to hold a special meeting TO discuss

The former delegate stated that his
resignation as well as that of Katz
was only temporary. "If any injury

xsoice Commissioner Frederic Bige-

ment explaining his position anent
the naming of the new police cap
tains by the police board yesterday
afternoon. 1t is as follows:
Some newspaper reports of the po-
lice boards recent action in promot-
ing three lieutenants to captaincies
are so conflicting and inaccurate,
that a statement from me may be OF
interest.
1.-The department had need Of cap

In that branch than in any one pre-

AT the school patrolmen, SER

director must know the law and or
dinances, police duties and Limitation
of police power; and must be inti-

criminals and able to teach the best
methods of circumventing them; SO
Ii is obvious to us that captain was
needed in the school to retain the
utmost of respect and discipline and
also obvious that the responsibility
was worthy of the title.
ITO raise the department to greater
efficiency night captain would evil

my determination, when l found
that the civil service list might ex-

FREIGHT RATES
ACTION URGED
BY MERCHANTS
Governor Fielder to Sanction
Committee to Raise New
Jersey Fund.

So that every possible effort can be
made To secure better freight rates
between cities in New Jersey and
New York city, the committee ap-
pointed by Governor James f. Fielder
met today in Mayor Raymond's office,
1t was decided TO name committee
of twenty-one New Jersey manufac-
turers and bankers to raise funds
with which to secure counsel to wage
the fight before the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The committee. although selected
today, will not be made public until
the governor has given his approval.
State campaign will be started to
secure funds to wage the fight TO the
end Mayor Victor Mravlag, of Eliza
BETH and Louis Sherwood. Of Jersey
City. the committee named by the
mayor. said they have been given
much encouragement
New Jersey manufacturers for the
last two years have been at work In
an effort TO have freight rates be-
tween New Jersey points and points
further distant from New York city
placed on more equal basis. They
claim. that New Jersey is held back
i'm Development owing to this fact.
II Is the intention of the committee
named by Governor Fielder to secure
the best of counsel in an effort to
prove before the Interstate Com
merce Commission that New Jersey
manufacturers are Disseminated
against.
The problem at the present time is
that New Jersey shippers are forced
TO send their goods by rail TO Jersey
City, thence by lighter to New York,
or use the water route entirely. 1t
is said that shippers far distant from
New York secure better rates than
given to New Jersey shippers
As soon as Governor Fielder makes
known his decision as to the sub
committee another meeting will be
called, at which definite arrange
ments will be made to secure funds.

ALMSHOUSE WILL

AND BATH TOWELS
Committee in Revising Speci-
fications Decides to Do With

Another scene in the drama OF
awarding contracts for the furnish
ings of the new almshouse at Ivy
Hill was enacted by the poor and
Council last night when the third
revised specifications were ere
vised" some more, this time to keer
within the appropriation. The meet
ing was unusual. as the usual fiurries
were not in evidence. All seemed inn
bued with the idea that the aims
house must be furnished as quickly
as possible, and to this end applied
the pruning knife.
The first thing to go was the piano
This 1t was decided, could be pur-
chased al a later date. Then the
committee believed that the inmates
could do without screens for the win
ter time The clause providing for
screens will be eliminated entirely
and will bring about saving in the
neighborhood of 81 500. The screens
and outdoor furniture can be adver-
tised for when hot weather rolls
around once more"
The Bathroom specifications also
received slight cut, The baskets for
the soiled towels and certain bath
fixtures, ii was decided, could be
forgotten" without injury to any
one
Acting upon the advice of City
Counsel Sppnlding Frazer, Alderman
Anthony Sclluck. chairman of the
COMMITTEES. said that advertisements
for the furnishings would be pub
lished only twice. In previous in
stances bids were advertised for two
consecutive weeks.
Against Many Advertisements.
I'VE are acting upon the advice Of
the city COUNSEL" said Mr.. Schuck.
for we do not want any mishaps in
this attempt There has been a loss
of time. and this committee will stand
for no more loss. We are here to
have the building furnished, and we
propose to do our duty"
Each of the 500 items in the con-
tract were gone over and approved
bv the committee.
II was decided that the bids can I've
used separately or in bulk. The com
mittee went on record as favorng
local products.
The committee will receive bids on
Thursday, September 30. On the fol-
lowing day they will tabulate them
and make recommendations to the
common Council as to the awards. II
is believed that about $4,000 was
pruned from the specifications by last
nights action.
This Is the third attempt to fur
nish the almshouse. Between legal
phases of the question and the run
ming over of the appropriation, the
work has been held up for more than
one year. During that time, the in
terest on the bonds has been going
on and nelp maintained at the vacant
building. This caused a deficiency in
the appropriation that resulted in
forcing out the bids received last
month
