FIFTY YEARS AGO.

THE FAMILY OF PRESIDENT JOHN
soN.--Mr. Johnson's family consists of
his wife and four children-two sons
and two daughters. His son Robert is
20 and Andrew johnson, Jr, is II years
of age. His two daughters, with their
families reside in Nashville, Tenn 1,
having been driven from their homes
in Eastern Tennessee. One of Mr..
Johnson's sons (Charles) surgeon in
the army, was thrown from his horse
in 1863 and was killed, and Col. Stover,
son-in-law, commanding the Fourth
regiment of Tennessee infantry was
killed in the battle Of Nashville, and
while gallantly leading his command
on the 18th Of December 1864. Judge
Paterson who is also son-inlaw of
the President, lives in Nashville. Mrs.
Johnson has been in very delicate
health for some time past, and it is
probable Mrs. Col Slower will preside
over the presidential household.
RECRUITING FOR THE REPUBLICAN
ARMY IN MEXICO.-An advertisement
appears in the Washington Chronicle
Offering in the most open and public
manner, inducements for discharged
soldiers OF either the national armies
or the late armies OF the rebellion, TO
proceed to Mexico and enlist under the
banner of republicanism in that coun
try. Many rumors are prevalent that
"our boys" in large numbers, are dis
posed to act upon these Mexican invi-
tations-moved, however, more by the
desire to restore republican institutions
in that country, than by any pecuniary
inducements that can be offered.

ON SHIPPING BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.---With the
arrival of Senator Newlands and
Senator Smith. of South Carolina
the parliamentary situation with re.
spect to the administration ship pur-
chase bill was entirely changed.
Senator Smith had not been ex-
pected to return on account of seri-
Gus illness in his family. With his
vote and that of Senator Newlands
administration leaders claimed q .le
vote on the motion to recomnit with
instructions. Then the Vice-Presi-
dent would be relied upon to cast the
deciding vote.
As soon as Republican leaders
learned of the return of Senators
Newlands and Smith, a conference
was called to consider plans Of
action
The Republicans determined to
oppose any effort to bring up Senator
Cores resolution to discharge the
commerce committee from consider
ing his substitute BILL which en-
bodies amendments satisfactory to
Progressive Republicans and may re-
ceive support from the seven Demo-
crat insurgents. Should the Demo-

FEDERAL LEAGUE
ANNOUNCES PLAN
TOPUT CLUB HERE
President James A. Gilmore
Confirms Transfer of Kansas
City Franchise.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-The first Of
fetal announcement that the Kansas
City franchise would be transferred
was made here today by President
James A. Gilmore, of the Federal
League. Newark. N j., will probably
get George Stovalls team. In dis
cuss'ng the subject President Gill
more said:
"On account OF inability of Kansas
City people to raise sufficient funds
to properly finance the Federal
League club and on account of the
near approach of the playing season,
found 1t necessary to take action,
with the result that Kansas City will
not be represented in the Federal
League in the future.
THE league was anxious to stay in
Kansas City, but, inasmuch as the
club could not be properly financed
by local people, it was necessary to
make the change.
II want to thank the people of
Kansas City for the support given
our club last year. and believe when
they are fully acquainted with the
details of the transfer thev will NOT
critieise the Federal League for
taking this action"
Kansas City's place in the Federal
League, 1t was said here, following
the return of President Gilmore from
the East today. Gilmore declined TO
state whether the team would be
placed in New York or in the New
Jersey city, but from another source
comes the information that Newark
is sure to be the town chosen.
Gilmore declared he already had
made all arrangements for the trans
fer. He said that a prominent oil
man" would furnish part of the
capital necessary to start the club
in it's new eastern location.
No other changes in the circuit will
be made this year, but plans have
been made to enter New York next
year, according to the president.
The population from which q New
ark team could draw is estimated at
1000 600, the Federal leaguers say.

WOMEN BEAT MEN
GOING To WORK IN
ROOSEVELT PLANT
Mistake Them for Strikers Re-
turning for the $1.6o a
Day Scale.
Special TO the Evening Star.


ROOSEVELT. Feb. s.--A crowd Of
angry women stormed the gates OF
the Liebig and Williams and Clark
fertilizer plants here today, where
nineteen strikers were shot by depu-
ties on January 10, and administered
a thorough beating to Elmer Osborne,
chief engineer at the Liebig works,
and Frank Davis, a clerk. Both men
were arrested by special policemen,
sworn In yesterday.
The trouble started when some OF
the men attempted to go to work for
s1.60 a day. This was the wage they
received at the time OF the strike,
the previous wage Having been 81

the men going to work this morning,
and when Osborne and Davis ap-
peared attacked them. One man
among the crowd of women was ar
rested.
The companies operating the plants
issued a notice yesterday to the effect
that unless the men returned to work
today they would be discharged.
ers was among the men who went to
work today.
Fearing that the notice would cause
trouble Common Council held a spe-
cial session yesterday and appointed
ten special officers, who were placed
on duty at once at the works of the
Liebig company and Williams &
Clark.
Joseph Gala, one of the strikers,
was taken to the State Insane Asy-
ium at Trenton today. He had been
driven crazy by hunger.
Gala was so hungry that he made
an effort to gnaw off his fingers. He
had succeeded in drawing blood
when someone found him doing it.
Prosecutor w. Edwin Florence de-
olared today in New Brunswick that
he did not know when the twenty
five deputies under indictment for
murder in connection with the fatal
shooting of two strikers at the
Williams & Clark plant on January
1s would be tried. Justice Bergen
may sit in New Brunswick some day
this week to set a date for the trial.
1t is probable that the deputies will
be tried together.

BREAD PRICES
SOON TO JUMP,
BAKER CLAIMS
General Increase Due on
Wednesday, Representative
of One Firm Says.
BREAK NOT IN SIGHT,
OTHER FIRMS ASSERT
Big New York Bakeries An
nounce Increase and Local
Concerns Will Follow.

One of the big bakers in Newark
said today that 1t was his belief that
the price OF bread will be raised gen.
orally on Wednesday next. He said
that the increase is sure to come. He
declared that f1ve-cent bread will sell
at six cents and ten-cent loaves will
sell at twelve cents, and rolls Will
cost twelve cents per dozen.
The Ward Baking Company, the
Schultz Baking Company, the Cen
seral Baking Company and other big
New York concerns sent notification
to retailers this afternoon that after
Wednesday they would charge five
and not four cents loaf to the re-
tailers. This advance in price will
be passed on to the consumer and,
as usual, he will pay the tax. The
reason assigned Is THE constantly
advancing price of flour. There will
also be an advance in the price of
rolls and other flour products in
New York, which will affect the en-
tire metropolitan section.
One Newark baker, who did not
want to be quoted, today said:
Here's the thing in a nutshell. We
in Newark are small fellows, COM
paratively. The big fellows are the
Wards and the General Baking Com
pany, In New York. The break will
come from them, and when 1t does
come we will follow suit.
I'VE don't know any more than you
what they have on their minds. We
wish we did So far as I am con-
cerned there will be no raise in the
price of bread tomorrow, but that is
all I can say. / will say this, though:
The situation is worse than most peo-
pie imagine.
Those big fellows are playing
checkers. Of course, big bakers buy
q lot of f1csr and way in advance.
None advertise how much he has or
where he is keeping it. and his rivals
do not know how much stock he has
on hand Now -four has gone up just
100 per cent in the past year. Either
the big fellows have not had to buy
much flour recently or they have be-
iieved that they could afford TO buy
and stand a loss better than the other
fellow.
.'Us small fellows are in. agony over
the situation. We are losing, but II
we raise the price and they do not we
will lose our trade. Now the same
condition exists between the two big
fellows. The Wards of course, are
the real big proposi tion. / don't
know thing about what the General
Baking people have on their minds.
but I'll bet you they feel toward the
Wards just about as we small fell
-. o.
are afraid II they go up cent the
Wards will stay off and get the trade
and profit in the long run by putting
the rest out of business. Then, on
the other hand, can the Wards stand
such a drain? No one knows but
themselves, and there you are.
1.-The way it looks to me Is that the
break will come from the Wards, If
ii comes at all. and once they give
the signal it will be unanimous all
over this section in ten minutes"

Mrs. Pierson extinguished the light

The burglar tried several windows

MUCH OPPOSITION
TO CANAL BILLS

'
TRENTON. Feb. s.-Practically
every municipality along the Morris
and Essex canal was represented at
the public hearing on the canal

tel, representing the canal abandon
ment committee Of the Newark Board
Of Trade.
After Jersey City had asked for
and obtained a separate hearing on
behalf of that city's interests to be
held in Jersey City on February 10.
the Newark representatives were
asked by e. Morgan Barradale.
chairman of the committee, whether
or not they were opposed to the
canal abandonment proposition. Mr..
Sherrerd said: I'VE are not opposed,
but we would like to have some
notifications made in the. bills as
they now stand" Messrs. Denman,
Kraemer and Rittel said the same
thing
The notifications proposed by Mr..
Sherrerd will include the separation
of the different phases of the aban-
6orment proposition so that each one
can be handled separately. In other
words, instead of having the bills
considered as whole. Mr.. Sherrerd's
idea is to bring. up the matter in the
form of several proposit ons, each of
which would involve a certain angle
of the entire scheme.
There was a delegation of twenty
citizens from Bloomfield here, headed
by Mayor Frederick Sadler, and in
cluding Harry. Hendricks, represent
ing the Halcyon Park Association;
H. M. Kennedy, Of the Bloomfield
Civic Club; Hugh B. King, of the
Bloomfield Board of Trade, and
Adolph C. Hueg, of the East Side Inn
provement Association, of Bloom
field. Hudson Maxim and John o.
II. Pitney came here representing
Lake Hopatcong. Governor Fielder,
too. was present.
Former Judge Robert Carey, repre-
senting the Jersey City Chamber of
Commerce, and who SAID he thought
he represented practically every cit
izen of Hudson county, opposed the
bills as they are now written. Mr..
Carey said Jersey City favored the
abandonment, but not on the terms
proposed.
1--WE believe the canal has been
abandoned for years. 1t is dead. We
realize this matter has been dis
cussed SO often that the people
want 1t settled. The proposition
should give Justice to all, but these
bills don't give justice to anyone"
Mr.. Carey said.
He next told Of the various interests
involved in the abandonment OF the
canal, and said that the bills as drawn
are pernicious and bad. although he
