BROTHERHOOD OF POTTERS
DEFENSE FUND SHATTERED

ATLANTIC CITY, July ia 81,
100000 defense fund accumulated
by the National Brotherhood of Op-
erative Potters in more than score
of years has virtually been shatter-
ed by the two unsuccessful strikes
in the trade in the last ten months.
This information was contained in
the recent report of the officers sub
mitted at the annual convention
here today The general ware strike
which began October 1 and ended
December last year cost in the
neighborhood of 100000, while the
sanitary strike during the period
from November to June 80 further
drained the treasury to the extent of
upwards of 100000.
The strikes were the first of a gem
eral nature in the trade in 90 years.
The normal income Of the Brother
hood is approximately S105,000, a
year and the fact that there had
been no serious trouble until the re-
cent strikes enabled the great ac-
emulation which now is practically
depleted.

NEW WARNING
To BATHERS
Wearers of 0ne-Piece Suits
Must Keep Off Streets,
Chief of Police Says

Young men and women who walk
the streets to and from the bathing
beaches in one piece bathing suits.
beware! Chief Niels ]. Tonnesen of
the local police department has re-
ceiyed numerous complaints regard
ing the practice of the swimmers
walking the streets in their one piece
cults. He has instructed the mem
bers of his department to arrest any
one found on the street garbed in
a one piece outfit.
Last season the chief following the
receipt of complaints, barred the
use of the one piece suit on the
beach and had an officer stationed
along the principal swimming spots
In the city to see that the order was
obeyed. This summer the ban on
one piece suits was lifted but the
swimmers evidently are OVERRIDING
the thing in appearing on the street
IN the one piece garment.
Inc reports received by the chief
are that the girls are offenders as
much as the men, and Policewoman
Jenslna Olesen has been ordered to
spend the greater part of her time
IN that vicinity for the next week
OF SO. Anyone caught on the street
IN a one piece suit will be arrested
on a dlsorderly conduct charge and
dealt with severely.
FAILURE to live up to the new No.
nee order may result in the abolish
ing again OF the one piece suit on
sne peach. The police intend to en-
Lorce thls years order in as efficient

ROUTS
MANY SLEEPERS
Miller Building in Fayette
Street is Again Scene
of Fire
SMOKE FILLS ROOMS
Early Discovery of Fire by
Neighbors Prevents Posi-
Sible SuffoCations

The three story frame and stucco,
store, factory and dwelling building
at 1OO-1O2 Fayette street, owned by
julius Miller, of 81 Gordon street.
was again the scene of a fire shortly
after midnight. The discovery of
the blaze by neighbors before 1t
had a chance to get a good start
and quick work by the firemen
prevented another blaze which
might have rivalled that of Wednes-
day morning in the same building.
The fire on Wednesday did about
$500 damage.
Last nights fire was extinguished
before the fire did much damage,
1t having started in a mattress stor-
ed on the second floor of the build
ing adjacent to the mattress factory
of Harry Miller, which was located
in the rear of the building but was
almost destroyed Wednesday,. The
barber shop of Sol Barbarotta on
the first floor again was visited by a
flood of water from the floor above,
considerable damage being done.
The store of the Jersey Dried Fruit
and Fountain Supply Company, also
on the first floor, again was drenched
with water from above.
: Members of the Patrick Fitzger-
aid household at 107 F'ayette street
directly opposite the Miller building
discovered the smoke coming from
the window of second story room
used for storage purposes by Miller.
Gerald Heron, who lives in the
Fitzgerald house, turned in the
alarm while other members of the
family tried to wake up the ten or
twelve persons sleeping in the house
Patrolman Frank Rubaha, arriv-
ing at the scene before the firemen
went from room to room in the
smoke-filled house, waking the
sleeping children and adults and
sending them to the street Sew
eral of the occupants did not awake
until the officer entered and warn
ed them of their danger. The two
upper stories of the house were
used as a lodging house and there
were many roomers.
The early discovery of the fire not
only prevented the fire from gain
ing such headway that it would have
been difficult to subdue it, but prob
ably saved the sleepers from being
suffocated. Those in the house awoke
to find themselves in smoke-fiilleo
rooms. The small children were
bewildered until they either founc
their way or were led to the door
leading to the narrow stairs to the
street.
The cause of the blaze is not
known. The mattress which had
been smouldering long enough to
fill all of the hoom sin the house
before it finally burst into flame, was
found on the opposite end of the
room from the part which had been
burned Wednesday morning. Tue
portion of the room in which last
nights fire took place had escaped
flames of the first fire. Fire Chief
John Campbell had the building
thoroughly wet down on Wednesday
morning and he said this morning
he did not see how last nights fire
could have been caused by the first
fire.

TRENTON, July 1S:-The State
Highway Commission is now practi-
cally ready to approve of the plans
and specifications for the new Perth
Amboy-South Amboy bridge over
the Raritan River. The final action,
however, is being held in allegiance
until c. w. Hudson, engineer who is
designing the bridge, receives word

Progress has been delayed con-
stantly on this project ever since it
was first authorized. The plans of
the bridge and of the draw have

MATHIS ROAD
ACT IS UPHELD
Supreme Court Declares Pas
sage of Road Grab Bill by
Legislature Constitutional

TRENTON, July 13.-The Mathis.
road grab act was legally passed by
the last legislature ruled the su-
preme court in an opinion today.
Neither of the points raised against
the bill by Governor Silzer declared
the court, that the bill did not re-
ceive majority in the assembly or
that the assembly violated the con-
stitutional provision regarding pass
age of measures over the executive
vote has merit.
The opinion, which was written by
Chief Justice Gummere declared that
instead of receiving but twenty eight
votes of the sixty members of the
house, as alleged by the governor,
the bill received thirty-two votes ac-
cording TO the testimony in the
case.
1T seems hardly necessary to add,
in view of the testimony referred to,
that we cannot declare that We are
satisfied that the statute under re-
view was not duly passed, that it
did not receive in the house Of as
sembly a majority of the votes OF
the whole membership of sixty as re-
quired by the constitution. The first
ground of attack upon the statute,
therefore fails" asserted the court.
The construction by the supreme
court of the constitutional clause re-
ferring to the passage of bills over
the governors veto is said to be the
first pronouncement upon this sec
ton of the state document to be
handed down since the creation of
the constitution in 1874
The clause referred to speaks of
the governor returning" a vetoed
bill to the house of origin, while
defining the transmission of bills be-
tween the two houses as sending"
Attorney General McCran, in at
tacking the bill on behalf of the
governor, declared that the Assembly
had violated the constitution by
voting on the bill the same day it was
received from the Senate, after the
latter body had passed it over the
executive veto. This was unconsti-
tutional, argued the attorney general.
The supreme court in deciding
against this contention, asserted that
the trainers of the constitution, in
tentionally differentiated between
the act Of the governor in sending
boIh liAS jill 10 the mouse OF origin
from that of the house of origin in
sending it over to the other house
for action.
The court said that where a bill
was vetoed and sent back to the
house in which 1t originated, that
house could not vote on it the same
day it was returned" to it, but az
ter the house of origin had repassed
the bill and sent" it to the other
mouse, this time limit did not apply.
The bill in question was introduce
ed in the senate last February bv
Senator Mathis of Ocean and added
% miles Of road to the state high
way system from Camden to Toms
River. The Governor requested
the Attorney General to attack the
validity of the measure, after the
executive had heard reports to the
erect that when the bill was I'D in
the assembly members were record
ed in the affirmative who were not
in the assembly when the bill was
passed,
The Supreme Court, in unfolding
the Legality of the Act dismissed the
Attorney Generals petition.
