FATHER CSOPEY
WAS NOT SHOT;
WRITES + | TER

Rev Nicholas Csopey, of Wilkes
Barre, has received letter written
that he has received letter written
on December 2, 1914, by his brother,
Rev. Gabriel Csopey, former pastor
CT the Greek Catholic church in Di-
vision street. In a letter sent to a
resident of Woodbridge by former
woman living in this city, who Is now
in Hungary, it was declared that
Father Gabriel Csopey had been skot
by his own people after the town in
which he lived, had been taken by
the Russians and recaptured by the
Hungarian army. The letter stated
that the reason given for the priest 8
alleged execution was that he had re-
nounced his faith when the Russians
entered the city and become a prose-
lyte of the Russian faith.
Rev. Nicholas Csopey, of Wilkes
Barre, declares that this information
was erroneous, which he says is prov
en- false by his receiving letter writ
ten by his brother in Hungary on
December 2, more than month after
the alleged execution.
The friends of the former priest
here will be glad to know that he is
not only living and in good health
but that one of his sons is on the b" t.
tlefeld as an artillery officer. The
traditions of the Csopey> family are
declared to show sincere patriotism
and a number of martyrs. Friends of
the former priest believe that the
stories circulating in Hungary about
his being executed as an apostate
were only the result of the excite
ment caused by the chaos prevailing
in time of war

of the Most Holy Rosary and of the
Catholic church at Port Reading, has
plans under way for special funeral
services and for organization of a

both American and Italian news
papers, that conditions are horrify-
ing over there and he believes that
little is known here concerning the
actual conditions that have arisen.
He has received on other informa-
toin about the disaster than through
the newspapers.
The province from which Father
Galassi halls is situated in the earth
quake zone So far as he can learn,

ices for the victims.

The supposed footprints clue" to
the thieves who looted the store of
Henry Mccullough in Smith street
early yesterday morning proved of
little value to the police in running
down the guilty parties. 1t was
found that the footprints were those
of Patrolmen Quinn and Gutowski.
After officer Gutowski had seen a
uspicious-loeking man stink into the
darkness in the rear of the Packer
House leading to the rear of the
store, they made an investigation
and left the footprints, which were
SO prominent in the wet earth in the
rear of the store yesterday morning.
The thieves either covered up their
footprints or they were so complicat-
ed with other prints that their value
as a clue was found to be worthless.

PLANTS PREPARE
TO SHELTER MEN
TO BREAK STRIKE
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

SpectdI 10 the hFbNING NE VS..
Roosevelt, Jan. 16:-With the
Leibig Fertilizer Company making
preparations to house strike-breakerS
who are to commence operations at
the factory shortly, and with work
suspended indefinitely at the viii
liams 4 Clark and the Armour
plants, important developments are
looked for within a few days in the
strike situation.
Indications are that the Leibig Off
Cials, in accordance to the ultimatum
Issued to the striking employees last
Tuesday, intend to resume operations
Immediately by means of using
strike breakers. Mattresses and 9th
er furnishings have been placed in
the buildings recently erected within
the gates of the plant in preparation
for housing the labor to be employed.
1t is said that a dining room is be-
ing fitted out and the indications are
that there will be long siege. The
strikers are maintaining a vigilant
patrol outside the plant to prevent
men from returning to work, but as
yet few of the laborers show signs of
failing confidence in their newly or
ganized union.
VIII Begin Operations.
5el lae[gz ~ : ~ = ! ! -
American Agricultural Company,
stated this morning that since the
men had not resumed work at the
time specified in the notices issued to
them by the concern, the Leibig
works would begin operations, but he
try1 ,tJJ OF tat OF T "a fiuan tha a.
sumption of work could be expected.
Organizers of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, who have assumed
the leadership of the strikers, had a
conference with the Armour officials
recently, but no agreement could be
reached. The officials of this plant
contend that the closing down Of
their works for an indefinite period
Is not unjust to the strikers, since the
latter gave no notice to the concern
of their intention to quit. On the
other hand, the strikers contend that
the Armour officials recently cut
down their wages from $500 to $1.60
without any advance notice.
Busy in February.
The first part of February Is usu-
ally looked upon as the busiest pc
riod of the year in the fertilizing in
dustry, and the strikers still express
hope that settlement bringing back
the $500 scale of wages will be
reached before that time in view OF
the rush orders that they believe are
now piling up. The rush work at
the Consumers plant, which recent
ly gave In to the demands of the men,
shows that the product is III great de-
mand.
Strike breakers, it is thought, will
be brought from Baltimore to oper-
ate the Leibig plant. The landing OF
the outside laborers either tonight or
tomorrow at the plant dock in the
Staten Island sound would not be
surprising, so that the factory may
start operations Monday.

L.
Contrary to the claims of Public
Service officials and engineers, Al
derman F. William Hilker, promoter
Of the municipal lighting idea, is GER
tain that a public plant will pay
Even allowing for the ordinary mu-
nicipal cor trcf, which is usually not
as profitat as control by private
indiyid1alEHe concerns, Mr. Hilker
is confident thut municipal plant
will pay. He smiles upon the Of
fers now made by the Public Ser
vice and says it Is strange that they
should come forward at this time to
give the city so much, whereas they
have been stubborn, close and antag-
on.atic at other times He ques-
tions as to why the city could not
have had other lamps and lower
rates before this.
& According to a decision reached by
the aldermen at their committee
meeting last night, there will be a
meeting of the entire board with
Public Service officials and engineers
In city hall at 4 o'clock Monday af-
ternoon. The proposition will then
be thoroughly discussed. Figures
Will be submitted and the Public

rived from the new proposition They

Confer With Trade Board.
Messrs. Chandler and Divine, of

have conferred with trade board off,
cials with a view of being given an
opportunity of submitting statements
and figures concerning their lighting
charges and the expense of operating
a municipal plant They had intend
ed to confer with the Board of Trade
last night, but the conference was
postponed and it Is believed that 1t
will be held next Friday. The trade
board has not as yet gone on record
concerning any of the propositions.
1t was stated by one trade board
official today that it appeared to him
as though the Public Service was
trying to forestall the installation of
a municipal plant here. He stated
that when Messrs. Chandler and OIL
wine were told of the effrontery put
up by the Public Service in dealing
with the city, they intimated that
there might be something doing In
the way of placing wires under
ground and also, despite the fact
that they were representatives of the
electrical branch, said there might
be favorable action in the way of i'm
proved trolley service If the city
would abandon its municipal lighting
plan.

make the formal opening of their
handsomely furnished new rooms in

ing committee, all the members of
the association and of its auxiliary

The second floor, with its luxur-

PUBLIC SERVICE
i. OVERTURES ON
CITY LIGHTING
High 0fficie..s of Corporation
Visit Aldermen and Point
Out That SIS, 900 Yearly Can
be Saved City on Lighting.

Public Service officials contend
that a municipal electric lighting
plant Will not be a paying PROPOSE
tion and they are ready to give the
city better lighting system than it
has at present at about $1,000 less
a year than is now being paid, accord
ing to overtures made to city Of
ficials and the Perth Amboy Board of
Trade. 1t is declared that the big
corporation is ready to advance a
proposition to put its electric lines
underground, in accordance with &C
tion taken at meeting of the Board
of Aldermen more than a year ago,
and will improve it's trolley service in
the city. Several conferences on
these propositions are scheduled to
be held in the near future.
$4,000 Less For Light.
Members of the Board of Alder
men were pleased at their commit
tee meeting last night with a propo-
sition put before them by the Public
Service Electric Company, to light
the city at about $4,000 a year less
than is now being paid. The city's
annual light bill is approximately
$4,000 With such a saving as is
proposed, it would be brought down
to $4,000, and there might be
further saving to make 1t about
100000, city officials declare In
speaking about the proposition as
tsoached last night, Alderman-at-
Large w. Guy Weaver said it look
eed very good to him. Inasmuch as
1t would be about year and half
before a municipal plant could
be put in operation, he ap-
peared in favor of letting the Public
Service carry out its proposal. AS a
result 600-candle power nitrogen
tungsten lamps, similar to those
which were recently tried out on
Market street may be installed to re-
place all of the ordinary street arcs
now in use here. Under the terms
of the proposal, the electrical com
pany must stand the cost of the
change. 1t will pean an additional
outlay of thousands of dollars for
the Public Service, 1t is declared, and
