tary of state at the last election was
S2,2S0, the referendum petitions must
be signed by at least S,22S voters IN
order to have any effect c@ The laws
aimed at.
The only petition having the re-
CURED number CT signers out o. the
list which Heiistrom circulated is tnat
one asking for the submission Of the
terminal elevator bill.
The bootlegger bill Fl B.. ia, will
be referred in all probability as S,6SS
signatures are said to be attached to
the petitions to refer this act. But
Hellstrom had nothing to do with
these petitions.
There is a possibility that not a sin.
gle one of the laws which Hellstrom
sought to hold UP will be affected for
there are said to be many signers
who attached their names to the ter
minal elevator petition passed around
by Hellstrom and who also signed the
Equity petitions on the same bill. This
duplication and some other names i'm
properly attached to the petitions may
bring the number Of signers down to
less than the required number and
Hellstrom may have been completely
fooled. This will be determined later
when the secretary of state goes over
the petitions.
viii Check Names.
F. l.. Watkins of the State Enforce
ment League will carefully inspect
the petitions asking to have the boot
logger bill referred and will check
over the names Of the signers to see
that all are legal voters as required by
law, according to intimations receiv'
cd yesterday.
100 More Signatures.
Five or six more sets of the He'll
strom petitions were received yester-
day blythe secretary of state. These
petitions, it is estimated, contain
about one hundred moro signatures,
and this means that the number of
signers to the petitions to refer the
immigration bill would have exceeded
the required number in all If the last
batch could have been counted. But
the opinion from the attorney gener-
ais Office specifically states that these
names cannot be counted.

New York, June 4.-Meyer Gerhard,
who is understood to be the agent
Ambassador O Bernstorff is sending
to Eerlin, sailed yesterday aboard the
steamer United States for Copenhag-
en-, it became known here today.
Mr.. Gerhard's accommodations
aboard the vessel were engaged by
wire less than two hours before sail
ing time. Nj .;Gerhard reached the
pier about five minutes before the
vessel cast off. Until the receipt of
the telegram, officials Of the Scandi-
navlan-American line, owners of the
steamer, knew nothing of his plans to
sail.
Official documents bearing the en-
bassy or consular seals Of Great Brit
ain, Russia and France, giving him
guarantee against molestation by Off
GERS of the, Allies warships while on
the way were in his possession. 9th
wise, it was said, he would not have
been permitted to take passage, as
the line has been at great pains to
exclude from its passenger list anyone

Registers Under Own Name.
Mr.. Gerhard registered under his
" name, giving his home as New
York City. Whether he is an Ameri-
can citizen was unknown. He car
ried, in addition to the official docu-
ments signed by representatives Of
the Allies governments, official pa
pers signed by American, German and
Austrian authorities, the nature Of
which was not ascertairable today.
It was assumed, however, that the Ger
man and Austrian documents were
his credentials to the German gov
eminent.
At the Ritz-Carlton hotel, where
Count Won Bernstorff stays when in
New York, it was said today that Mr..
Gerhard had been registered there,
but had left YESTERDAY, saying that he
was going TO Washington. His quail
tiers at the hotel were still being held

WHITE WAY LIGHTS
To SHINE TONIGHT
Understood That an Agreement
Has Been Reached Between
City and the Merchants.
NO LIGHTS OVER A WEEK
May Advertise Smith Street
Merchants Who Are Paying
for White Way Light.
NO LIGHTS OVER A WEEK

White way light service will be
restored on Smith street, between
High street and Madison avenue,
commencing tonight. Believing that
the city will bear half of the cost to
be paid for current consumed in both
of the white ways in that section, the
most enterprising merchants, those
who originated the white ways, have
ordered the lights to be turned on
again. A test was made this after
noon and everything is In readiness
for the resumption of the bright light
service.
The white ways, which have been
conducted for the past few years by
two organizations of merchants, one
for the section east of State street
and the other for the district west of
State STRAIT, were turned out several
days ago when those merchants COM
cluded that they had been paying
long enough for light which benefited
the city as a whole and the mer-
chants on Smith street particularly.
They pointed to the fact that there
were several merchants along the
white way who refused to pay any
thing for its maintenance. That both
merchants and the city have suffered
as consequence of the abolition of
service has become evident and all
hands now appear greatly anxious to
restore it. A scheme is under way
to advertise the merchants who help
pay for the light.
Merchants and members of the
Perth Amboy Board of Trade appear
ed at a meeting of the Board of AL
dermen Monday night and asked the
city fathers to have the city pay for
the cost of current. They offered
the lamps now II -nlace to the
| city and agreed to let theH. redis-
tribute them along Smith street as
was seen fit, Opposition came, but
| Chairman John w. Kelly. Of the
! lamps and lights committee appear,
ed wiling to open negotiations Tor
having the city bear a larger share
than one-auarter of the maintenance
cost. Conferences have been held
the past few days with the result
that the merchants are going ahead
and take chance on the city pay
ing fifty per cent of the cost.

Washington, April 9:-Revival of
reports that Germany having aban-

has informally intimated to the
United States a willingness to dis
cuss a peace proposition from the
allies, met with no confirmation in
official portions today. Secretary
Bryan positively refused to comment
ON it, He said reports of this char
acter have been current almost since
the war began, but none were based
on anything concrete. He intimated
that the present report like others
was based more on hope than facts.
At the White House it was said
there was nothing new in the situa-
ton. The President still sees no
immediate opportunity for this gov
ernment to tender its good offices to
the belligerents. 1t was pointed out
that when a peace movement was in

New Brunswick, April 9:-Three
of the leading physicians In Middle
sex county visited the county jail
late yesterday afternoon and inter
viewed Richard Won Krebs, who is
held for the murder of Mrs. Anne
Reihl, in North Brunswick township,
last November. The doctors were:
County Physician Edgar Carroll, of
Dayton; DR.. f. NJ. Donohue, of this
city, and DIR. William e. Ramsay,
who is also state senator, of Perth
Amboy. The doctors spent consider
able time with Won Krebs, hearing
his frequent outbursts on the unbe-
coming conduct of the authorities of
Middlesex county. They soon learn
ed that the prisoners mind is much
exercised over the alleged unfair
treatment he has received at the
hands of justice in this state. He
claims he was ''railroaded" to the
State Hospital for the Insane on
trumped up charges and, while there,
he was robbed of all his personal and
realty holdings.
1t is understood that former Judge
]. Kearny Rice. of this city, who was
assigned to deferd the man by JUS
tice James J. Bergen, secured the
services of the physicians in the hope
that the unfortunate man can be
saved from the electric chair. Judge
Rice believes that the man is danger
Gus and should be placed In safe
keeping. Yet it is the concensus of
opinion that his mind is so unbal-
anced that he was not accountable
for his actions when he committed
the outrageous murder of Mrs. Reihl
The doctors would not discuss
their conference with Won Krebs, but
it is reported that they will advise
the deportation of the prisoner to the
