{ OF MARKET STREET, BUT CUT
DCWN OH ELABORATE PLANS
Project Taken Up Last Night at Committee Meeting of
Board of Aldermen—Also Decide to Finally Pass at Next
Monday Night's Session Ordinance to Provide Zones of
Safety in Front of Fire Houses About City—Will Send
Document to State Com missioner for Approval.
While It Is proposed to improve the
easterly end of Market street to such
fin extent as to make It a beauty spot
and permit Its use for park purposes,
the work will probably not bo done
upon so elaborate a plan as was sub
mitted before the Board of Aldermen
at their committee meeting last night
It was practically decided to Anally
pass 011 Monday night an ordinance to
provide zones of safety in front ot
firehouses about the city, after which
the document will be sent to State
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Dill
for approval.
The plan submitted last night for
improvement of the foot of Market
street provides for an elaborate
.scheme, Including winding stairs,
paths and other places for walking.
The ground would be laid out in ter
races, each one a little higher than
the next, starting from Front street
and proceeding westerly to Water
street. Each terrace would be beauti
flt d with flower beds and shrubbery,
B^e'd rails would be erected In some
P™ces and the street-end generally
would be converted into one of the
ilrtest beauty spots in the city. Indi
cations are that the general plan will
be followed out, but the work will not
be as extensive as lias been designed.
Will be Approved.
Commissioner Dill has Informed
Alderman John W. Kelly by letter
that the ordinance to establish zonef
safety in front of firehouses hert
will be approved by his department as
soon as It has been passed. He hat
viewed Its contents and states that il
contains nothing which would contlicl
w|th any state laws or rules of tin
motor vehicle department concerning
street traffic. The zones are designed
to keep street spaces in front of fire
houses clear of traflje while the flr«
alarm is bein* sounded.

MAN ELUDES POLICE
ON MAST OF SHIP
William Dlomquist Has Been
on Rigging of Schooner for
Thirty-six Hours.
William Dlomquist, alleged mad
seaman who yesterday was believed
to have been drowned, has been
found high in the rigging of the
schooncr Elvie B. Hall, from which
he had been reported missing. He Is
still high on one of the masts of the
vessel, eluding his would-be rescuers
and threatening to jump to his death
if they do not leave him alone. Ex
cept for a brief period this morning
during which he partook of food,
Dlomquist has been up in Uiu rigging
for the past thirty-six hours. His
pranks in the rigging thrilled and
startled many today while the Elvle
B. Hall laid in the Staten Island
sound oft Pocket No. 7 of the Lehigh
Valley wharves.
One of the alleged mad man's most
startling pranks was to stand upright
and balance himself on a cable, the
back stay of the ship, as he calmly
rolled a cigarette. Each time a would
be rescurer climbed up to go after
him, Dlomquist would venture far out
to the outermost points of the rig
ging and threaten to Jump. All ef
forts of the police, ctfai Guc.k workers
and sailors to rescue the alleged mad
man up to a late hour this afternoon
proved futile.
Dlomquist was shipped from New
York on Wednesday. It was said to
day that he had been out of a New
York asylum but twenty days pre
vious to that time. He was missed
yesterday morning, and Captain Ar
dcne Thomas reported to the police,
believing thai the sailor had fallen
overboard. He was discovered this
morning and coaxed down by the cook
who fed him. After receiving (he
maul, Dlomquist returned to his
heavenly perch and no power could
persuade him to come down. The
captain of a neighboring Bee Une
barge, No. 742, speaking Dlumqutst's
language, has been coaxing the strick
en sailor for the past several hours in
a futile attempt to rescue him. The
captain had coaxed him down for
part of the way, when a collecting
crowd caused Dlomquist to return
and climb higher again.

FINAL «Cil IN
SUFFRAGE FIGHT
Mrs. Van Winkle Gets Informa
tion on Election Tuesday
from Sec. of State Martin.
MORE SPEECHES HERE
Mrs. Furbay Addresses Large
Crowd Here Last Night—
Antis Hang Up Banner.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Oct. μ·. —Ill a letter just
sent to Mrs. Mina C. Van Winklo, of
Newark, Secretary of State Thomas F.
Martin reiterates the ruling that voters
will be permitted to register next
Tuesday between the hours of 1 and
9 p. m. and then vote upon the wo
man suffrage and other constitutional
amendments, only ill municipalities or
above 5,000 nhabitants. Secretary of
State Martin also decides that regis
tration next Tuesday, the day of the
special election, will not be permitted
in municipalities having a population
less than 5,000. This distinction Is
due to the fact that next Tuesday is
the regular third registration day In
all municipalities of the state exceed
ing 6,000 inhabitants. The third reg
istration day In municipalities of less
than 6,000 population will be Tuesday,
October 26.
Wrote for Information.
Mrs. Van Winkle Is a suffragist
leader, ana wrote aecreuiry ux maiu
Martin asking for Information on the
subject. Mr. Martin states that his
ruling is based upon an opinion ren
dered by the Attorney General's De
partment. His letter is as follows:
"Your letter of the 14th Inst., ad
dressed to the Chief Clerk of this
office, has been referred to me for
reply. I note what you say about the
apparent confusion in the minds ot
election officers relative to the regis
tration of voters on the day of the
special election. This office has had
numerous inquiries concerning this
matter and we have been advising all
parties that registration was permitted
in municipalities above 5,000 inhabi
tants, between the hours of 1 and 9
p. m., and that if a person registered
in such municipalities on the day of
the special election he was entitled to
vote upon the proposed amendments.
We have also advised that registra
tion on the day of the special elec
tion, wa* not permitted ..Diteld© of
municipalities having a population of
over 5,000.
"The information which has gone
out from this office was based on an
opinion rendered by the attorney gen
eral's department under date of Sep
tember 3, 11)16, a copy of which opin
ion is herewith enclosed.
"There is no statute or precedent
which would warrant the secretary of
state In making any order regarding
the dntie', of the members of the
Boards of Registry and Election. I
might say, however, that there ap
peared In yesterday's 'Philadelphia In
quirer' a story to the effect that In
Camden county an application would
be made to the Judge of the Court
of Common Pleas of said county, for
an order or opinion regarding the
right of the Boards of Registry and
Election to either register or refuse to
register voters on said day who de
sire to vote upon the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution."
Ending Campaign Here.
With only two more days remaining
before the question whether the wo
men of the state will have the vote or
not is settled, both parties are doing
their utmost to make the men see
matters In their own way. The street
meetings continue to be held by the
suffragists and the "antls" continue
their advertising the fact that the
men should vote "no" for the suffrage
amendment Tuesday.
The "antls" got the "jump" on the
suffragists this morning when they
strung a large banner across New
Brunswick avenue bearing the follow
ing sentence in large black letters
with the "no" emujjaslzed; "Men of
New Jersey, Vote ίίο Woman's suff
rage, October 19."
A large meeting was held at noon
yesterday at the I -ead Works' plant,
there being In addition to the two lo
cal workers, the suffragists who stop
ped in this city yesterday morning to
make a few speeches on their way to
South Amboy, the best known among
which was Mrs. Helen Greeley.
Meetings will be held tonight and
Monday night in order that the work
ers for woman's suffrage may make
a final plea for the vote. At the meet
ing last night, at the corner of Smith
and Hobart streets, Mrs. Anna Fur
bay said: "The women have done
more for civilization than the men
have, therefore they should have the
right to vote and Improve the cities
and make Perth Amboy better." In
another Instance Mrs. Furbay said:
"Many men say they don's think they
will vote for woman suffrage be
cause the majority of the women do
not want the vote. I nave asked all
the young women Γ /have had the
chance to talk to amKall are enthusi
astic over getting the right to vote."

CALL STRIKERS'
DEMANDS UNFAIR
Electrical Workers at City
Light Plant First Wanted
$3.50, Which They Got.
NOW DEMAND $4.00 A DAY
Aldermen Point Out That No
Demands Have Been Made
by Public Service Employes.
Demands of the local electrical
union upon the Watson-Flagg Engin
eering Company Rie most unfair,
especially in view of the fact that no
demands have been made upon the
I'ubllc Service and New York Tele
phone Companies here, say aldermen
and officials of the Watson-Flaag con
cern. There was no change in the
situation today. At the Instigation of
the electrical union officials, linemen,
masons and bricklayers and iron
workers remained inactive. A few
men are working today In painting
poles and cross pieces at the work
yard in Division street. The subject
was not touched upon at a committee
meeting; of the Board of Aldermen
last night. Branding the demands
upon the Watson-Flagg concern as
wholly unfair and uncalled for, two
aldermen, who asked that their names
not be printed, and the superintend
ent of the Watson-Flagg concern, to
day came forth with some details
and the wall of secrecy which has sur
rounded the demand and walk-out,
was broken.
l><-mnnd $3.50 α Day First.
One of the aldermen stated that the
local electrical union officials demand
ed that linemen employed by tho
Watson-Flagg concern be given J8.50
a day, rain or shine: that the foroman
lie paid $8.76 a day; that there be al
lowed but one apprentice for each
four linemen and one ground man for
each three linemen. That drivers,
not under the Jurisdiction of the
union but employed by other contrac
tors, be paid at least $2.50 a day and
that should linemen have to work
during inclement weather the em
ployers should supply them with rub
ber boots, coats, gloves, etc. The al
dermen declared that the Public
Service Electric Company here was
paying its linemen but $3 a day and
that the New York Telephone Com
pany was not paying any more than
that He also stated that when the
Watson-Flagg cOtaipany agreed to
give Its linemen JS.50 a tjay. In ac
cordance with their demand, they re
turned and asked for M a day. In
his opinion the demand was unfair,
especially becaufv ot the fact that no
similar don^nnds hpd bem.smade upon
the PubHc ' eervioe, Ne\y >ork Tele
phone Company and other employers
of linemen, and because the electrical
union tried to govern teamsters by
demanding that they bo paid $2.60 a
day. In conclusion ho referred his
interviewer to the other employing
companies and to the superintendent
of tho Watson-Flagg concern for ver
ification of his statements.
Linemen Oct S-'t a Day.
At tlie headquarters of the Public
Service Company here It was stated
that linemen received α flat rate of
$3 a day and were paid In all kinds of
weather, becauso they were often
needed for storm duty and other
"trouble" duty. It was also stated
there that no demand for a higher
wage or less hours had been made
upon the Public Service Company,
and It was stated that the New York
Telephone Company was paying Its
linemen $2.75 η day.
At the local headquarters of the
Watson-Flagg Engineering Company,
the firm's superintendent verified
practically all of those statements. He
stated that all the Watson-Flagg com
pany asked for was α square deal and
that It not be called upon to pay more
than other companies here. He drew
a sharp contrast between a contract
ing and engineering company and op
erating concerns such as the Public
Service and New York Telephone
companies. He held that tho demand
of $3.50 a day with pay for rainy
days was wholly unfair, stating that
it might be fair If the company was
an operating one and other operating
companies here were paying the same.
His company agreed "the first shot out
of the box," he said to give the men
an increase of fifty cents a day, when
they asked for it. "They were not
satisfied witli tlie ease with which
that was granted," lie stated, "and
they returned to ask for $4 ο day If
they were not to be paid on rainy and
stormy days. He declared that the
Watson-Flagg concern stood high in ]
the esteem of unions throughout the
country, having always dealt fairly
with them, and he ventured to state I
that he could produce a hundred un
Ion linemen here tomorrow, if neces- i
sary. Such action was not taken,
however, as the company, he said,
was trying to live up to Its agreement
with the city, which provides for the
employment of local men as far as
possible.
Questioned further on Information '
which his interviewer had gathered j
elsewhere, the superintendent stated
that It was true that officials of the I
local electrical union, including mem- ί
bers of its executive board, who were
push, g tho demands upon his com
pany, wore at present employed by
the rublic Service Klectric Company
and were not asking the Public Serv
ice for an increase over $3 a day, for
something like nine or ten hours' ι
work on ordinary days and much
longer hours in stormy weather. Γη !
conclusion the superintendent repeat
ed that fair play was desired; his
company would pay $3.50 a day, but !
nothing when the men did not work.
The men were not obliged to be on
duty In stormy weather, as would ho
the case with an operating company,
for there would be no demand for
them to hunt "trouble," he said; In
short, the contracting and engineering
work differed considerably with that
of operating companies. He declared
that linemen employed by the Wat
son-FIagg company could go any- I
where and do what they pleased on
rainy or stormy days, and would not
be held in reserve for any cases of
emergency.

A raid by agents of the Society for

sulted in six arrests and the imposi

this commonwealth, the people of Middlesex County h ave offered to them
as a candidate for the State Senate a man of dependable qualities in the
person of William Edwin Florance. New Jersey was placed first among
the States of the Union through the splendid legislative campaign of Gov
ernor Wilson in 1911, and the sessions of the law-makers at Trenton in
the immediate future will disclose whether or not she is to yield her
leadership.
Measures calling for clear judgment and upright decisions on the part
of the legislators are to be considered and to continue progressive legiela- ,

business acumen. Just this type of man has been put in nomination by
the Middlesex Democracy in the Senatorial contest.

life in New Brunswick where he is as popular with the bread-winner of the
mills as with those whose opportunities in life have been greater. All know
and admire "Ed." Florance and his worth has been recognized by the
voters of his home town in giving his offices of trust on various occasions
for he is of the people; one of their own who has reached his present higfc
place in their respect and esteem through the unaided force of his ow*
energy and industry.
