ture any longer. Jersey City is certain
ly entitled to new post Office and u
good one.''s
Seeing that the Congressman wouldn't
listen to any extension scheme, the COM
mittee then replied that they would rec
ommcnd in their report that sufficient
sum should be appropriated for new
post Office building.
QUESTION OF SITE.
The question of site was next gone
into and Mr.. McDermott pointed out
there were several good places on which
to locate new post Office The com
mittee informed him that they had look
ed through the downtown section of the
city, and the vicinity of the City Hall or
Newark avenue would be suitable on
which to build. That part of the sub
iect was dropped by the committee adop-
ting Mr.. McDermotts suggestion that
the best thing to do would be to advertise
for sites.
After assuring Mr.. McDermott that
they would recommend new postoflice
building they shook hands and took their
departure
One of the officials of the post Office
said. after the visit of the committee
Il am not at liberty to tell you the
details of their visit. which was strictly
private The committee gave us good
looking over and seemed surprised at
what they saw in our crowded and highly
inadequate building"

A committee representing the Attorney
General, Postmaster General and Secre-
tary of State inspected the Jersey City
postoffice today, and after a consulta-
ton with Congressman Allan L. Nc
Lermott decided to recommend a new
post office building for this city
Through the persistent efforts of Rep
resentafive AIeDermott he secured an
amendment of the general post office law
by which committee was appointed 10
investigate petitions for new post Offices
Jersey City has long clamored for a
new building The rapid growth of busi-
ness here demanded it, and Mr.. McDer-
mott fought against Republican opposi-
ton to the plan, and finally won out, as
the decision of the committee today
proves. This committee started out some
weeks ago and dropped into Jersey City
today.
VISITED THE POST OFFICE.
The visitors were:-Messrs. George
Van Nesta, Z. E. Du Paul and r. v. La
Dow, all competent and able men. They
were received at the post Office by Post
master Wanser and Assistant Post mas
ter E. ". Woolley and escorted through
the building. They spent considerable
time in critically examining the various
rooms and expressed much surprise that
a post Office showing such returns as this
city should be confined to such a small
and incenvenient building. They freely
admitted that in every way the post Of
fee was thoroughly inadequate for a city
of such size and importance, and they
told the Postmaster that they would un-
hesitatingly make report for new
structure if possible or at least a very
large extension to the present building.
CALLED OK Mr.. McDERMOTT.
After leaving the Post Office building
the committee went to the offices of Mr.
1IcDerinott, in the Commercial Trust
Company's building, whore they found
the congressman. They told him that
they had inspected the building and
hazarded the opinion that a large extern
sion could be made to the present struc-
ture by purchasing adjoining property
or increasing the height of the building.
TO this proposition Mr.. McDermott at
once said
NEW BUILDING OR NOTHING.
Gentlemen, will tell you here right
now that / will oppose any such sug-
gestion in your report. We here in Jer-
scy City want new building and not
a patched up one. We want a decent
building for this town and we will put
up with no extensions. You admit that
the present building is unsuitable
in every way for its purpose. and the
only thing to do II to give us a new one
We do not want any ranlshackie struc-

FIVE GAMMA PLOTS RAVAGED

The once beautiful flower beds which
adorned Columbia Park in Greenville
were destroyed last Wednesday night by
a gang of young hoodlums. There are
five beds full Of beautiful cannas. These
were ruined and the laws laid out about
the park were badly damaged.
yANDALS' WORK.
William Zimmerman, the man who
takes care of the park, was almost
dumbfounded when on Thursday morn
ing he came to the park and found the
flower beds in its desolate condition.
Some of the cannas had been deliberately
pulled up by the roots and strewn
trampled down and the excellent appear
ance the gardens had presented the day
before was utterly ruined.
Columbia Park is one of the finest
public parks in the city, andsthe residents
of Greenville took great pride i'll it.
James Mccarthy, superintendent of the
park, was much upset about the mat
ter.
MUCH USED BY BOYS.
Ever since the band stand has been
built in the.parlS." said he. 'it has been
used to play in by the boys until a late
hour. The small children told ME they
saw gang of boys running through the
flower beds and destroying them on
Wednesday night. The five beds of
canas were donated to the park. The
boys must have done this just for devil
ment
st is too late to replace the flowers
and the beds will have to remain in this
condition. / have always taken pride
in these parks and | am sorr ythis hap
pened."
Mccarthy notified the police Of the
Ocean avenue station last night and
Captain Nugent said he would do all in
his power to have the boys punished
for the mischief. The police will fry to
obtani the names of the gang who de-
stroyed the flowers. None as yet have
been arrested.

4. NJ. Deny, chairman of the Republi-
can county central committee, last even
ing announced that the first Of series of
Joint debates between ". J. Bailey and
W. II. Craddock would take place on the
night of October s.
Mr.. Denny yesterday afternoon made
arrangements for the Auditorium for that

the campaign proper IN this county, the
event will be big one, the biggest meet
ing beyond all doubt in the state can
vaSs this fell.
Craddock has been lodging the joint
debate for weeks. He Is making a lot OF
reckless statements about public ques-
lions which viii collapse before argu-
ments like paper balloons. and whenever
he has been billed to speak from the same
platform with Bailey, he has been IN
avoidsbly detained or missed a train.
The state committee has pinned him
down and made him consent to a num-
Der II debates. The first one VIII be in
Wichita on the date mentioned. All the
state will be interested and the event will
be OF more than local moment and will

greatest ever held in the state OF Kansas.

that Chief OF Police Burt has stated that
he had fifty extra men sworn IN and gave
the names OF number OF people who
were to be present al The time OF the fair
for the protection OF the public against
the depredations of professional pick
pockets From this article l quote as
follows:
ON Monday it is understood that three
men from the famous detective agency
viii be in Wichita and viii stay the entire
week. Details could NOT besecured from
the chief. but IL was learned that their
names are Conway. McSheTry. and Peggy
Hummel. These men were for twenty
years pickpockets and thieves themselves
but they have since become straight men
and are employed by a detective agency
just 10 keep pickpocketS from working
in crowds.
Now this part OF the article is abso-
lutely false. Michael Conway, Michael
McSherry are both in our employ and
have been for years. In fact. Conway
came into our employ when quite a boy.
and McSherry has been in our employ
for about seven years. and when you
publish a statement that these men have
at any time in their lives been pick
pockets and thieves il is entirely untrue.
Mr.. Humble is not in our employ. but is
{ well known police officer and his home
Is in Columbus, Ohio, and he has filled
positions of trust all over the United
States.
so far as Conway and NIcSherry are
concerned, their services. have been called
for by police officials all over the country,
and these men have been ar different
large gatherings in every large city from
New York TO San Francisco and have a
national reputation and that fact that
You state twenty years of their lives We're
spent as pickpoekets is the greatest out
rage and insult that could be offered 10
these men. whose regulations for honesty
and integrity will stand in any com
munity where they have ever been. I do
not know who your informant was IN
this matter, but ne certainly told you a
malicious lie in regard to these men. Both
of them are under thirty years of age
so you can sec how foolish the statement
is about their being pickpOckets before
entering our service. they having been
with Us ten years"

POLICE MANAGEMENT FINE
Thieves DO not Find it Healthy to op-
crate,

The effect Of good policing. under fine
management, is shown in the lack of
thefts reported in the city. Chief Of Police
Burt is not taking over three hours sleep
in the twenty-four and the policemen are
on duty in the crowds all the time, alert
to prevent the thieves and crooks from
committing depredations of any kind.
The loss Of one pocketbook was reported
yesterday by 4 man from Iowa. The
purse contained only a small sum and the
mans pocket was picked while he was on
a street car. This is great record con-
sidering the continual crush on the streets
and the opportunities offered for the light
fingered. Chief Burts supervision Of the
tangle at the corner of Main street and
