BY BROWN HOLMES

When officials of the British
army sent word to the United
States that Johnnie Poe, football
star and soldier of fortune, was
killed while fighting with the
allies on the northern boundary
of France, they wrote the last
chapter in the story of the most
remarkable life ever led by an
athlete.
Johnnie Poe was the first of a
family of great football players to
enter Princeton. He was captain
of the Tiger team in 1892 and by
great run defeated Lale. tLeav-
ing college he entered a brokers'
office in New York, but the ex-
element of Wall street didsnot
satisfy him.

ONE WATERWAY
BOARD FOR n. }.
ACTED ON SOON

Perth Amboy will be deprived of
representation on the State Harbor
Commission IL that body is abolished
by the 1916 legislature which con-
venes in Trenton tomorrow. There
has been much discussion among the
members of the legislature concern
ing the consolidation of the different
waterway and harbor commissions,
which, it Is declared, would save the
state a good deal of money.
w. Parker Runyon is member of
the State Harbor Commission, which
may be abolished. However. there
will be some commission or board to
look after the riparian and harbor
interests of the state in such an event
and it is possible that Mr.. Runyon
might be appointed to such board or
commission
Three Waterway Commissions.
There are three big waterway and
riparian commissions now in the
state. They are the State Harbor
Commission, created by the 1914
legislature to supervise the harbor
development of the state, to work
with municipalities for the improve
ment of their waterfront, etc; the
Inland State Water Commission,
which regulates traffic on the inland
waterways and lakes, and looks after
bodies of water, such as Lake Hopat-
cong; and the State Riparian Com
mission. which supervises the ripari-
an lands of the state, making grants
and leases to cities and individuals
The riparian commissioners receive
1,600 per year and the members of
the State Inland Waterway Commits
sion $4,000. The members of the
State Harbor Commission receive no
salary. Besides these expenses of the
boards engineers, clerks, stenog-
raphers, etc, at good salaries are en-
ployed to carry on the work.

Z UlULHllU Un
LOWER GAS RATE

Mayor Ferd Garretson, of this city,
proposes to meet with executive
heads of other cities of this state In
Newark Friday morning to discuss
legislation for the control of public
utility franchises. 1t will be endea-
vored to agree upon legislation pro-
viding for the proper taxation of
franchises and to seek sides against
the recent decision of the court of err
rors and appeals in the Passaic- Pat
erson gas rate case. Mayors, who
started the movement in holding a
preliminary meeting week ago, de-
clare that the decision has aroused
widespread dissatisfaction and it is
their aim to have it set aside. They
state that if it is allowed to stand,
residents of the greater portion of
New Jersey will be compelled to sub
NIT to an increase In their gas rates.
It is held by the municipality
heads that, even more important
than this consideration, is the fact
that the court holds that no munic-
ipality or citizen thereof can ever
appeal to the courts against any or
der of the public utility board, or
against any increase of rates by any
public utility company

Application has already been made
for a reargument of the Passaic-Pat-

BILE step may be taken looking to-

Writing to Mayor Garretson about
the action of mayors and commits
sioners of large cities in the northern
part of the state, Mayor Thomas
l.. Raymond, of Newark, states that
he deems it important that a meeting
of the executive officers of all the
municipalities in the state effected

led n small area b 4e nfe femen,
who responded to alarm box rs, at
Smith street and the Central rail-
road. The damage will not reach
more than $50, it is declared. Dr.,
Frank Killenberger, his son and Mr..
Buchner own the chemical corpora
ton. DR.. Killenberger said this af
ternoon that experiments were being
made In producing chemical basis for
dyes. He said that as the insur-
ance for the first fire has not yet
been settled he was not sure that
the company was assured against
the loss today.
Fire Threatens Tenement.
A thickly settled tenement section
composed of two and three-story
buildings, was threatened by fire be-
tween 8 and 10 O'Clock Saturday
night when a big two-story barn Off
Prospect street, near New Brunswick
avenue, owned by Greenspan Broth
ers, Smith street grocers, was de-
stroyed by flames. The damage,
which is not covered by insurance, is
estimated at about $500.
Five horses, which were in the
stalls of the burning building, were
rescued by young men of the neigh
borhood. The second story of the
structure, where was stored several
tons of hay and other feed. was in a
blight blaze when the tiremen arrived,
and the three story tenement owned
by Samuel Greenspan, close to the
burning building, though touched by
flames, was saved through the prompt
arrival Of the flremen. 1t is believed
the big barn was set afire by boys
who were lounging about the place
early Saturday night. The stable boss
had put up the horses and left the
stable an hour before the fire broke
out. Greenspan Brothers expect to
place brick stable in place of the
frame building.
The person sending in the alarm
from box "a, at Lehigh avenue and
Stanford street, pulled the signal
lever three times and the bell contin-
ued its taps for about twenty min
utes. 1t is said he did not see the
firemen arriving from his position at
the box and kept giving the alarms
until he saw the flames die away.

Roosevelt, Jan. 11:-Following a
conference Saturday afternoon in
which the president, vice president
and superintendent of the Consum-
ers' Chemical Company, Mayor Herr
mann and Chief of Police Harrington
took part, the old gang of more than
one hundred men returned to work
at the Consumers plant this morn
ing, receiving their old wage of 81
day, 1t was stated by authorities
here. Deputies are leaving the bor-
ough at a rapid rate and complete
settlement of the general fertilizer
strike is looked for to occur this
week. The workers who returned to
the Consumers works were not In
clined to begin until noon today, 1t
was declared, desiring to heed the
advice of some that written articles
of agreement first be prepared. They
were urged by the factory officials
as we'll as the authorities to start In
this morning and protection was
guaranteed to them. When other
strikers endeavored to halt them
Chief of Police Harrington explained
matters and said there must be no
opposition. There was no disorder
and the men who wanted to were
permitted to go in unmolested. A
report that the fertilizer plants
would take back their men II they
would sign contracts TO work Tor
three years, was denied by Superin-
tendent e. c. Champion, of the
American Agricultural Chemical
Company, today. :,
AT a meeting held In Nash's hall
in the Chrome section Saturday af-
terpoon, 1t is understood that the
labor organizers, who addressed the
workmen In their native tongue,
pointed out the error in accepting
the terms above mentioned, stating
that at the end of the European war
labor will probably be. at higher
rate and the men, If they submit

Made on Peace Proposition.
In speaking on this subject this
morning superintendent Champion
of the main factory, said "We have
made no such proposition whatever
to the strikers, and we have abso-
lutely no intention of offering the
men a higher scale of wages than
they are now paid. The only over
lures We made to the men were con
tanned In the statement printed in
your paper last Wednesday"
No disorder whatever marked the
weekend and the factories have as
yet made no attempt to start opera
tions. The strikers seem to main
tain an attitude of sullen obstinacy
to accede to the request of the plant
officials, and there is every indica-
tion that they will hold out for some
time, although Mr.. Champion said
this morning that number of the
men had offered to return to work.

AS ICE BREAKS
UNDER SKATER

By desperately clinging to the rim
of ice around the hole through which
he had fallen at the old waterworks'
dam in upper Smith street, Harvey
Wilson, twenty-four years old, of
State street, a chemist at the Roess-
Ter and Hasslacher Chemical Com
pany, saved himself from drowning
yesterday afternoon. The young man
went through the ice up to his neck,
but caught himself by spreading out
his arms over the solid ice surround
ing the broken area and supporting
his body with his head just above the
water until fellow skaters arrived
and helped to pull him out of the
hole. There were between $50 and
200 skaters on the pond at the time.
There was a crowd enjoying the out
door sport last night on the lake.
and another skater went through the
ice. though it was near the shore,
and he only sank to his waist.

The skates were merrily skimming
over the pond when Wilson left a
group of skaters and proceeded to
