By a majority that exceeded the
total number of votes accorded his
adversary Theodore E. Anderson was
last night elected chief engineer of
the city's Are department. He re
ceived 114 votes against flfty-three
secured by Louie H. Van Horn.
Patrick J. Rocks as named for first
assistant chief by 148 votes, and
Frank Comings, securing the largest
vote of any candidate, received 164
for second assistant chief.
While the election on its surface
appeared to be · quiet and peaceable
one, on the inner side there was
fighting, bitter fighting, because of
an old grudge that members of the
Lincoln Engine Company holds
against Mr. Anderson. Members of
this company tried their utmost to
defeat Anderson. Of course it
an impossibility at this time, but
they almost made good their attempt
a year ago when L. B. Moore, of the
Lincolns, was put up to oppose An
derson for first assistant chief.
Anderson won by about half a dozen
votes. The year previous he defeat
ed Patrick Rocks for second assist
ant chief by a single vote.
Anderson's opposition grew out of
an act he did while second assistant
chief. He took a nozzle from two
members of the Lincoln Engine Com
pany. The Lincoln members took
exception to his action and enmity
gradually grew from that time on.
He received his election In the regu
lar way; being first assistant chief
he was entitled by previous custom
to the chlefshlp.
The election was marked with a
celebration afterward. Nearly every
fireman in town was out, as was
demonstrated by the fact that 168
firemen out of 190 voted. The vote
was slow at first, but soon after 8
o'clock there came a steady stream
of voters. The proceeding seemed
~4ïkè a regular election. Carriages
and autos were kept on the go con
veying voters to and from the polls.
At 7:30 o'clock there were thirty
one ballots cast. At 8 o'clock there
were sixty-eight and at ten minutes
before 9 o'clock there were 161 bal
lots cast. The balloting was done In
the old firemen's ballot box in the
patrolmen's assembly room of the
police station. Chief George T. Lar
son acted as judge ot the election.
His clerks consisted of secretaries ot
the various companies, as follows:
Andrew Anderson, of the Garfield
Hose Company; George Miller, of
the Liberty Hook & Ladder Com
pany; James P. Dunham, of Protec
tion Hook & Ladder Company; Wal
ter Martin, of the Lincoln Engine
Company; William Fltzpatrlck, of
the McClellan Engine Company;
Andrew Anderson, of the Washing
ton Hose Company; William C. Wil
son, of the Eagle Hose Company. A.
F. Munoz assisted Mr. Martin for the
Lincolns and Joseph Hornshy took
Mr. Dunham's place when the votes
were tallied.
As soon as the result became
known former chief George Meade
sounded three taps from box 8 6 at
Smith and High streets, thus Inform
ing the city of Mr. Anderson's elec
tion. The firemen assembled in line
In front of city hall preparatory to
the parade. First in line were Chief
elect Anderson, Chief Larson and
Messrs. Rocks and Comings. They
were followed by the Washington
Fife & Drum Corps and a line of
about 160 firemen. Behind the fire
men came the Washington Hose
Company's truck in which were sev
eral firemen supporting aloft a ban
ner bearing the following inscrip
tions: "O You Dorie," "Dead Van
Horn," "Soreheads" and "Chief
Dorie." Lastly came the old Protec
tion hook and ladder truck. The
line of march extended from city
hall northward on Market street to
Smith, then westward to State and
northward to Washington street.
From there they counter-marched to
Hartmann's hotel, in Front street,
where a banquet was enjoyed.
Chief Larson acted as toastmaeter
and first called on the chief-elect for
a speech. Mr. Anderson profusely
thanked the firemen for their sup
port. He said he would do all for
improvement In the department and
will use the best judgment possible
at fires. The new second assistant
chief, Mr. Comings, next spoke, stat
ing he would work for the best inter
ests of the department. First As
sistant Chief-elect Rocks then scored
with a song. James Kelly sang a
firefighters song and August Kroeger
gave a political speech. He wanted
to know if the present council "Is It"
or "Is It not." After some delibera
tion he replied, himself. "It is not."
Former Chief Coutts spoke, as did
Michael Donovan and several others.
The throng of firemen feasted and

GOVERNMENT
CRITICIZED BY
DR. PETERS
The lecture given In Washington
hall lant night by Madison C. Peters
wag one of the most interesting as
(veil as instructive talks ever given In
this city. The principal topio of Dt.
Peters' address was "How America is
Repeating the Mistakes of History."
His theme the lecturer divided into
three parts—social, industrial and po
litical conditions existing in this coun
try at the present time.
"America," he said, can be direct
ly compared to the great Roman Em
pire in all its splendors, yet we Ameri
cans are following the example of the
Romans and if radical reform does not
Btriko us in the next few years, then
America will answer to the roll call
with Egypt, Sparta and Athens and will
receive the same reply, ' Dead. '
"The downfall or the Roman Empire
is attributed to only nineteen men hav
ing absolute control of the money mar
kets of the country. Do not the same
conditions exist in our eotmtry at the
present time. Why we can count ten
men in this country who control the
money markets. What must we expect
if these conditions are allowed to go
anv further!
''Another great mistake the Ameri
can nation is making is that emigration
Bhould be further restricted by law. In
the spring time numerous foreigners of
all classes are brought into this country.
They work for the summer and fall and
then with the money they have taken
from the American citizen, back to Eu
rope tney go and live upon their earn
ings until the following spring when
they again pay us a visit. Money made
in America should be kept in circulation
in our country, and it is this evil that
is placing America in the same class
as the Roman Empire was before its
downfall.
"The political conditions existing in
this country at the present time, will,
if allowed to, bring a crisis to our
nation. The question of the tariff is
another of the evils of the day.
' ' The legislature of the day is another
political problem which will have to be
solved. The disgraceful actions of the
New Jersey Assemblymen at the close
of hte session has brought disgrace to
the good name of New Jersey, which
will be very hard to blot out but these
things will be remembered at the next
election. ' '
It was here that the speaker was
met with rounds of applause and the
crowd in the hall clamored for more
about the New Jersey administration.
"Your Congressman, Benjamin How
ell is no better than the rest of them
as it was he who helped to make the
tariff larger. (More applause.)
"Look at the present conditions ex
isting at the White House. Why it
would take a men working every, day
for seventy-five years at 11.50 per da\
to keep the president snpplied with au
tomobiles for one year.
The next question given considéra
tion by the speaker was the unfaii
decisions of the supreme court. "Th<
Standard Oil Trust will never be prose
cuted," he said. "For they send th<
men to the bench whom they can' crin
trol, and the long.list of chain of judge:
controlled by the Rockefeler trusts wil
be complete when Governor Hughes ii
made a Supreme Court Judge."
Foreign Missions was the next topic
of conversation handled by Dr. Peters
He pictured the conditions that exisl
in the sweat shops of New York, whev<
the sun never reaches. "It is wel
enough to try and convert the heathen '
he declared, "but why not try anc
Americanize the foreigners before tlx
foreigners foreignize us."
Peter A. Peterson was chairman ol
the meeting and announced that Dr
Peters would again appear in this elt;
in the near future and would give ai
address upon "The Jew."

Boys Intended Going to
Chicago—Caught in Ν. Y.
—
GIVEN A HEARING TODAY
--WAY BE PAROLED
Hyman Schwartz and Benjamin Kap
lowitz, the two fourteen year old boye
who disappeared Monday with a <100
diamond ring, a wedding ring and η
diamond pin belonging to the former 'β
mother, were arrested in New York
yesterday and thie morning were ar
raigned before Becorder Piekeregill ou
a charge of grand larceny preferred by
Joseph Schwartz, father of the first
named youth. They were held by the
recorder to await the action of Pro
bate Officer Bussel Watson.
With the intention of reaching Chi
cago and later seeing the west, both
boys left here Monday after noon. Be
fore departing, Schwartz secured part
of his mother's jewelry, according to
hie own confession, and with a capital
of <14, which Kaplowitz had eaved, they
departed for New York to dispose of
the articles. With the proceeds of the
sale, the youths intended to purchase
tickets for the west.
Getting rid of the jewelry was not
euch an easy task, however, as the boys
expected. Upon arriving in the metrop
olis, a jewelry store was visited and the
diamond ring sold for $50, $20 of which
was received in cash with a promise of
the remainder on the following day.
Instead of taking the $30 on the fol
lowing day, hovy-ever, Schwartz held out
for more, and when It whs denied, he
returned the $20 and the ring was
given up. His mother's wedding ring,
Schwartz sold for $1.
Monday night the boys slept in a
Bowery lodging house. They had lit
tle to eat yesterday morning as their
cash was rapidly giving out. Losing
fheir nerve and eager to return home,
the runaways walked into the First Dis
trict Detective Bureau later in the
morning and gave themselves up. De
tective Sergeant Huff, of the local po
lice department brought them to this
citv last night.
Schwartz's father appeared before
Becorder Piekeregill this morning and
said his boy had been away from home
some time ago for a period of six weeks.
He refused to furniBh bail for the boy
and asked that he be kept in the lock
up until the arrival of the probation
officer.

SCHOOL BOARD
CONTRACT FOR
YEAR'S COAL
Combination of Twelve Deal
ers Will Supply 1300
Tons in All.
$6 BEFORE AUGUST 1 AND
$6.25 AFTERWARD
At last night's meeting of the
Board of Education, the contract for
supplying 1,300 tone of coal to the
schools for the current year, was
again distributed equally among the
twelve bidders at the uniform price
of $6 per ton for egg, etove or
chestnut coal delivered before Au
gust 1, and $6.26 per ton for the
same kinds of coal delivered after
that date. Several dealers bid $5
per ton for pea coal.
Despite the objections of former
School Commissioner F. A. Seaman,
who last year offered a suggestion
whereby he thought the combine
might be broken up, and his sug
gestions along that line made to the
board in committee session a month
ago, the board has again been forced
to patronize the combination deal
ers. Last year the school board was
■forced to pay $6.26 per ton for coal,
because bids were not received until
August. By placing the orders
early in the year and receiving the
fuel during the summer months,
however, the board will expend a
considerably less sum this year, in
proportion to that of last year. It
Is the Intention of the commission
ers to purchase as many tons as pos
sible during the warm months, at
the rate of $6 per ton. It was stated
last night that at least 800 of the 1,
300 tone could be stored in the cel
lars of the schools, and the board
will be compelled to purchase less
than 600 tons at the rate of $6.25.
The bidders, as announced last
night, were: C. M. Peterson, C. P.
Convery, Perth Amboy Supply Com
pany, Edward Koyen, John Schults
& Company, John Flngerote & Com
pany, E. J. Dorsey, William McCor
mick & Son, George J. Haney, Con
sumers Coal and Ice Company
Perth Amboy Coal & Ice Companj
and Klneey, Brothers.
In an effort to break up the com
bine, a departure for the régulai
course was made In receiving tht
bids this year. Instead of opening
them In a public meeting, they wer<
received and opened at a meeting
of the building committee on Aprl
21. At that time all of the forego
lug mentioned dealers, save the las<
two, had placed bids with Secretary
Colyer. The committee session wai
of no avail, however, and the boart
has been once more forced to pur
chase from the combine.
Dr. M. S. Meinzer, who for th<
pftet few years has been medical In
i epector In the schools, was reap·
j pointed at last night's meeting foi
another year. There was some tall
1 of Increasing the physician's salary
i which at present amounts to $60<
per year, but no definite action wai
taken in the matter.
As the city appropriation towardi
the maintenance of the schools li
due in June, President Sheehy anc
Commissioner Fletcher, who ar<
members of the Board of Estimate
were last night authorized to pre
pare an estimate of the funds need
. ed for the subsequent year and pre
sent It to the Board of Estimate a
their next meeting. The authorlt;
to prepare the estimate was grantee
by the adoption of a resolution.
A resolution was also Introduce)
and adopted to the effect that aftei

as follows: «
