The Washington Post says: The

free trade Is SO intense that 1t never

Chronicle hunts for such opportunities
and invites that temptation, ignoring
the abundant proofs that it's idol liz.

Not for years has there been as much

four months. Hundreds of newspapers

trade mass meeting was held In Fan

great audience yelled itself hoarse for
free trade in coal, beef and other ar
ticles.
The tariff tax now has more enemies
in Boston than the tea tax had when
Boston's famous "tea party" was In
session. So lively Is this free trade
mummy that it has aroused the Re-

If President Roosevelt had thought
that free trade was mummy, instead

CARNIVAL
DISCUSSED.
Raritan Yacht Club Members
Talked Over the Question
Informally.
MEETING LAST MIGHT.
After Business was Transacted the Mat.
ter was Brought Up-MaY Take Def
mite Action at Next Meeting When a
Committee May be AppOI ted-Members
Enthusiastic.

After the meeting of the Raritan
Yacht Club last night the members
discussed, informally, the advisability
of holding another carnival this year.
Most of the members were in hearty
favor of it, and thought that if it
could be held during August, same as
last year, it would be a far greater
success.
The Yacht Club members are will
ing to take hold of the affair and
push it through. It was said the
arrangements should be made in such
a way that if the night selected should
prove stormy, it could be postponed
until the following night, or the first
night that the weather was clear.
Last year it rained nearly all the
evening, but the members are not dis
couraged. At the next meeting of
the club, which is the first Wednes-
day night in June, the members will
give the matter serious consideration
and it is probable committee will be
appointed to make arrangements, and
take up subscriptions.

The much discussed school question
seems now settled. Comptroller W.
d. Voorhees, signed, today. all the war
rants in his possession signed by the
Board of Education since the last reg
ular meeting of that body, thus Sc
curing in the next twenty -four hours
not only the. payment of the teachers
salaries, which had been held up, but
the payment of all other bills con-
tracted by the board.
The sudden change in the attitude
of the comptroller which calls off all
threatened complications, has been
caused by a letter which Mayor
Charles K. Seaman received this
morning from State Superintendent
Charles J. Baxter, whose opinion un-
tangles the snarl brought about by the
city officials.
The letter comes as reply to Mayor
Seaman's request sent to the State
Superintendent charging all the men,
bers of the local board for neglect of
duty. in that they failed to elect a
president as already told in the News.
Superintendent Baxter quotes the
law which he says governs the situa-
tion instead of the city's charter and
that the Boards president shall con-
tinue in Office until his successor is
chosen. The letter follows:
Hon. Charles K. Seaman, Mayor Perth
Amboy, N. j..
Dear Sir-Your favor of the 1st inst.
is received. Section so of the school
law provides that the members of a
Board of Education in a city shall be
selected in the manner provided in
such city prior to the passage of the
revised school law last year, until
such time as the city shall adopt the
provisions of either section AZ or 43, of
the school law. The section also pro-
vides that every city board of educa-
tion shall be incorporated under Sec
tion 48 of the school law and shall
have all the powers and be charged
with all the duties conferred or i'm
posed upon a board of education as
provided in Article vi. The general
repeater of the school law repeals all
provisions in the city charter affect
ing schools except that providing
the method of selecting the members
of the board of education.
The election of the president, there
fore, is to be governed by the provi-
sions of section 40 of the school law
and not by the provisions of your city

the Work Accomplished Many Patients Treated and
the Necessity of the Institution has Demonstrated

Tomorrow, the Perth Amboy City
Hospital will celebrate the first anni-
versary of the opening of the doors

Perth Amboy who doubts but that
the institution is a necessity to the

ever, and it largely depends upon pub

to the city and deserving the heart
lest support of all.

the Board of Governors, speaks for
itself:

and were removed; died, 1862 cured
and II remain in the hospital at this

Carpenters at Raritan Copper
Works Refused to be Organ
lied and MaSOnS Left.
RECEIVED GOOD WAGES.
Mr.. ]. C. Mccoy Stated He Had No OBJ
Objection to the Carpenters Being Or
ganized If They So Desired Delegate
Found Them Unwilling and Masons
Called Out.

The masons at the Raritan Copper
Works went on a strike this morning
on account of some trouble the car
penters union is having with the car
penters employed at the works.
A few days ago walking delegate
of the Carpenters Union appeared at
the Office of the Raritan Copper Works,
and demanded that hereafter the Cop
per Works employ only union carpen-
ters. He was told that the Copper
Works people would be satisfied to
employ the union carpenters but as
the men who are doing the work are
giving complete satisfaction, the COM
pany could not discharge them. but
that if the unien could organize the
men into union the Copper Works
would no object.
The delegate went among the car
penters and told them his object.
The carpenters listened patiently to
all the delegate had to say, and then
decided that they did not want to
join a union. When the delegate
again appeared at the Office and de-
manded that the carpenters be dis
charged right away, he was told that
was impossible. He then made the
threat that all the union masons,
three in number, would be called off.
He was as good as his word. The
masons say they had no kick coming
and were even receiving a little more
than the union scale called for, as
well as lot of overtime, increasing
their pay to sometimes $3.50 per month.
They have had steady work all the
year around, which is more than any
mason in Perth Amboy has. The
union compelled them to leave their
jobs, however, and they left. When
the differences over the carpenters
will be settled is not known.

18TH ADVERSARY;
HEN COOP ROBBED.
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Horn Meet With
Loss on Their Wedding Aniver-
sary- Warned by Friends.

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis VanHorn, of
upper Market street, observed their
thirteenth wedding anniversary yes
terday and last night their hen coop
was robbed. Superstitious people now
blame the wedding anniversary for
the robbery, pointing out that it was
the thirteenth.
The couple made no celebration of
any kind and only few of Mr.. Van
Horn most intimate friends knew of
the event. They told him to be on
the look out for trouble before the day
was over.
This morning, when he arose, he
found his chickens missing. The
thieves took almost the entire roof
from the coop, which contained about
fifty chickens.
Mr.. VanHorn says he is convinced
that some of the thieves which often
follow circus, did the, deed.

Trenton, May 5.
Mayor Seaman received the letter
this morning and when asked by a
News reporter what he thought of the
decision he said:
81 still think the whole thing is
wrong. The point on which City
Attorney Hommann has continued to
make his stand was not made known
to the State Superintendent. The
fact that Mr.. Walkers term as COM
missioner ran out and he was re-elect-
ed member of the board simply as a
private, is sufficient to remove him
from Office as president. "
Mayor Seaman said he had not call
ed the attention of the State Superin-
tendent to this point.
Comptroller Voorhees,, when seen
early in the morning, took the same
view as the Mayor, but before noon
he had the warrants all signed and
ready for City Treasurer Brodhead.
President Walker. whose signature
has already been put on the warrants,
was seen and when asked if he would
preside at the next meeting of the
Board he said he certainly would.
Now that the matter is settled, it is
learned that the Republican members
of the Board of Education had had
the opinion of the State Superintend-
ent. six or eight weeks ago. When
the State SUPERINTENDENT attention
was called to the fact that Mr.. Walk
er's term as commissioner had run
out and that he had been reelected
the State Superintendent would not
venture an opinion single handed.
After comforting with the Attorney
General, however, on this point, the
result was the letter received this
morning.
