INDICATES HARD WINTER
Indians of the West are quoted as
saying that every sign indicates the
approach of a long cold winter, includ
ing the fact that squirrels are already
storing up nuts; that the bark on the
trees is thicker than is usual; that the
migration of birds has already started.
The aborigines report many other ,
signs, it is stated, which forecast a
severe winter. The Indians them-|
selves are making unusual preparations
storing up a surplus of food and fuel for
the first time in years and advising the
whites to do likewise. But there is
little for the white man to do that he j
does not do every season, he having !
been schooled through generations of
experience to have care for the morrow
at all times.
Hard to believe that Calhoun county,
Texas, went dry by one vote. Always
understand that every Texan insisted
on having his trousers made with at
least two hip pockets.

Majority Against Women’s
Votes Over 50,000.
CABp country.
Ocean County Alone Stands in
the Women’s Suffrage
Column.
The Woman Suffrage Amendment to
the New Jersey State Constitution was
defeated by a decisive vote at yester
day’s special election.
Based on returns from various parts
of the State received at the State
House at Trenton, unofficially, last
night, the amendment is beaten by
about 60,000 or more in the State.
James R. Nugent, Essex County leader,
in a telephone conversation with State
House officials, declared the amend
ment was badly beaten both in Essex
and In the State.
A majority of 23,671 was recorded
on unofficial returns from 804 of the
State s 1,891 districts, the vote being
56,676 for and 80,347 against the
amendment.
Of the twenty-one counties in the
State, only one appears to have taken
their place in the Suffrage column,
Ocean County.
The apparent majorities are as fol
lows;

The Votes of the County.
Iq a total vote that was even greater |
than expected, all three of the pro
posed Constitutional amendments were
carried to defeat. The greatest inter- ,
est was on the woman’s suffrage
amendment. Bridgeton voted very
heavily against, and Millville also had
a majority against women's votes.
Vineland and Landis had small ma
jorities in favor.

Majority against Suffrage, 759.
Bridgeton was strongly against all
three of the proposed Constitutional
amendments including equal suffrage.
There were 2200 votes cast in the elec
tion. Equal Suffrage lost by a major
ity of 671. The second amendment
providing for annual change of the
Constitution was defeated by a major
ity of 728, while the condemnation of
more land than needed for public was
overwhelmingly beaten by a majority
of S41.
In Bridgeton equal suffrage was
beaten by a vote of almost 2 to 1. Ev
ery voting • precinct gave a majority
against votes for women. The closest
precinct was the third in the Third
ward, where the vote was 80 for and
105 against.
The Fifth and Second Wards were
strongly opposed to equal suffrage. At
none of the polling places were thera
any women watchers and no organized
effort was made to get out suffrage
amendment votes. The vote polled ex
ceeded all estimates. This was large
ly due to the effort to have votes reg
istered for the general election.

shown in the following table:

With President Evans in the chair,
all the members of Council were pres
ent last night excepting Mr. Eslbill
and Mr. Garwood.
The session of Council was short.
There was but little done, nothing
more than routine business.
The various commissioners .made
their reports which were read and
filed. 1
Bills were ordered paid aggregating
$3,454.86. In this was a bill of $23.94
for Poor and Relief. This appropria
tion being exhausted, the amount was
taken from the contingent fund by
special emergency resolution.
A bill of $678 was ordered paid to
the Buffalo Steam Pump Co., and was
charged to the sewer disposal appro
priation.
Complaint having been made of dig
ging on Manheim avenue to cover up
water pipe, that the city had no right
of way, summarily stopped work. Up
on motion of Mr. Hettinger the matter
was referred to the Corporation Coun
sel.
The city engineer presented an esti
mate of $90 for the cost of laying a
surface water drain over the property
of P. Bath, on North Pearl Street, but
the drain simply carried the water on
another private property On Mr. Het
tinger’s motion the water and sewer
committee was authorized to negotiate
with the property owner for a right of
way.
The incandescent lamp at Bank St.
and Irving Ave. was ordered removed
and an arc lamp installed in its place.
