High School Opens Tuesday and
With it the Sports Begin
Good Material.
FOR FOOTBALL TEAM.
This Game has Been Neglected Together
with Baseball fer Some Time-May get
Together this Season-Basket Ball has
Fast Hold and Track Team will Doubt
less Carry Off Honors.

With the opening of the local
schools next tuesday come hopes and
expectations as to what will be &C.
| complished during the school yea1
now approaching. OF course, advance
ment in studies and classes is para.
mount to all else. but, inseparablv as.
sociated with this part of school life,
is the athletic spirit
The propects for athletic activity in
the High School the coming year are
very bright and there seems to be no
reason why the representatives of the
crimson and white should not eclipse
all former successes on the diamond,
| gridiroD, field and track. There is
good material in the school to draw
from, plenty of it, ana renewed inter
est along these lines, coupled with
conscientious work, should again
bring High School athletics to the fore
The class of 1908 was comparatively
small when placed along side of the
three other classes so that, in reality,
the material left IN the school, is
practically as good as last year. To-
esther with those left MACE the in
coming freshman class, and you have
better material than ever.
1t will be we'll to consider the differ
ent branches of athletics separately
and see what the outlook is in each.
In this list, football naturally comes
first. Its season is nearly upon us and
already most of the college teams
have commenced to get in condition
for this fall. 1t is we'll known that
the High School has not been repre-
sented on the gridiron for some time,
but team could be gotten from the
school by hard work, which would be
worthy the name.
In baseball too, interest waned last
season, but with so many new mem
bers and an experienced coach, good
nine could be secured.
For basketball, the prospects are
good. That game secured fast hold
last year and is fixture.
Field and track athletics should not
suffer either. for they also took a
strong hold the past season and the
facilities are better than ever.

Hearings Were Resumed Last
Night but Matter was put off
Until a Later Date.
DISCUSSED THE TIME.
Members Seemed to Find Some Satisfac-
ton in that-Mr. Quin Sends a Letter
Asking for Adjournment Was not
Ready-Date Fixed for October First
People Losing interest.

After several weeks of inactivity in
trolley matters in Woodbridge town
ship, the township committee got to.
gether again last night to discuss the
ordinance granting franchise
through the township to the Eliza
bethport, Amboy and Long Branch
railroad. That all concerned are get.
ting read, for a winter of debate talk
promises, amendments, objections de-
lays and adiournments is evident
from the way the fall sessions opened.
Mr.. Quin, of Carteret, representative
of the trolley company, sent letter
stating that it was impossible for him
to be present and asked that the hear
ing be postponed until a later date.
This was finally granted.
The fact that Mr.. Quin was absent
stopped all discussion of the pet sub
ject, trolley, a nd some of those pres
ent showed their disappointment
plainly. There was one matter left,
hoWOF0A, WhAOh hdu W pe uSClu6u.
The date for the next meeting had to
be filed and those present grasped the
opportunity like drowning mf n af
ter straw. Accordingly the debate
opened and the committeeman did
themselves proud in eloquence as to
the correct time to hold the next
meeting. The date was finally fixed
for Thursday, October l.
That the people are becoming tired
was evident from the attendance last
night. Only about six citizens were
present.

ENOUGH RED FIRE TO /
BURN FOR TEN DAYS.

Enough red fire to burn continuous
ly for ten days will be purchased for
the carnival and it will all be set off
in few hours, according to present
plans. The General Committee met
last night and authorized the fire.
works committee to spend $75 more
making total of 1926 for fireworks.
This additional money will be put in
red fire, giving the committee ten
gross. The entire sound and bay will
be aglow with the light and there is
no doubt but that this years carnival
will eclipse all previous attempts.
Boat owners are getting busy along
shore preparing to decorate. Some
designs will be very novel and inter
esting. Lanterns and candles are be-
ginning to arrive. No doubt there
will be great rivalry in getting the
best decorations in the line. The
open boats will be a great feature.
This is doubtless because there are so
nduJ VI UA0u. AL OllOlu 10 US1uS
made to get as many tug boats as pos
sible and wners from South Amboy,
Tottenville and this city, are being
urged to enter.
Mayor Seaman announced last night
that the mayors of New Brunswick
and Railway had consented to act as
judges and Mayor Muirhead, of South
Amboy, was expected. The runway
which rises to slight elevation above
the end of the Raritan Yacht Club
dock will be used for the judges
stand. From that point an excellent
view of the entire bay and sound is
afforded. The runway will be fenced
off and an officer stationed at the en-
trance to prevent the crowd from
pushing too hard.
If the music committee so agrees
band will be placed behind the ind
ges OH the end of the yacht club dock.
This, it was thought, would be an ex-
cellent feature as the largest crowd of
people will be in that vicinity and
when both bands are afioat, they can
not be heard when the procession is
far up the sound.
The committee meets again tonight
to further complete the plans.

very hell during the whole period Of such
maintenance. The interests Of modern

Books and Authors
FOUNDED ON FACT,

The September Bookman contains anyat-
-tractive8 illustrated paper on 1.-The Real
SEYang aAns, 4 by H. L. ,Sayler, who dis
cusssing s1oflgf CLOVIS apparently intimate
knewledgeSs0 f the region of Bayou Teche
and Bayou Atchafalaya in Louisiana, Of
fers the explanation for the poets accu-
racy, altho he never visited that region,
that he probably. obtained his information
from Louisianan, and he relates that
Alexander Mouton, governor of the state
in alS42 and afterwards United States
senator, was an Acadian and was born in
the Teche country and was an intimate
friend Of Longfellow, to whom he COM
municated the romantic features of the
migration of the Acadians from their far
northern home under compulsion by the
British government. This movement was
part of the family history of the Moutons.
Senator Mouton's great-great-grand-
father was one Of the Acadians who suf
fered. His daughter, Mile. Rolichead, was
carried to, Baltimore in an English vessel
and went thence across the country to
Louisiana, She married and had three
daughters who became mothers Of fami-
lies. r These handed down the Evangeline
romance. which is well known in New
Iberia, La. Eongfellow, therefore, did not
draw altogether on his imagination in
writing his masterpiece, '.Evangeline."

More Coal Baron Insolence,

1t is reported that the hard coal pro-
ducers have refused to give the census
bureau certain information which Is need
ed for an accurate report on hard
coal mining. The report is not surprising,
and 1t Is probably true. The coal barons
showed themselves to be the most obstin-
ate mules in the country last year, and
such bad cases cannot be cured In a short
time even by heroic measures. -
There IS a severe penalty for refusing
to enumerators the information they are
authorized to demand. Perhaps nothing
but a dose Of imprisonment will finally
convince the Goa, barons that tho Provid-
ence may have entrusted certain proper
ties to their wise management he has also
entrusted the. government Of the Ameri-
can people to a government which can
assert itself on occasion.
The government does not publish the
private business Of any manufacturer. But
to get at total figures it must know the
volume of business done by the persons
and companies engaged in the particular
industry being inquired into In a par
ticular district. NO trade secrets of a
legitimate nature are in danger Of being
exposed If the companies are afraid to
publish the main facts regarding coal pro-
duction they must be moved by reasons
which the public will not tolerate s

A Serious Matter.

IF the Colombians have been attempting
to interfere with American efforts to Sc
cure ratification Of the canal treaty by
shutting off communication between the
secretary Of state and Minister Beaupre
they have got onto very dangerous
ground. There can scarcely be interna
tional diplomatic relations anywhere If
the dispatches Of foreign ministers or
ambassadors are withheld from them. II
seems that Mr.. Beaupre received none
of the dispatches sent him from Wash
ington between July 25 and Aug IA, and
it Is stated that his messages to secre-
tary Hay were also held up. Secretary
Hay has demonstrated with the Colombian
minister at Washington, his note conclud-
Ing with the remark that it was need
less to say that Herran would appreciate
the gravity Of the matter. If it should
turn out that the dispatches have been
held up with the knowledge or connivance
Of the Colombian government, we would
be compelled to break off diplomatic re-
lations with that government pending a
most AFFECT apology.

Thru the indiscretion of a person who

one has heard Of, and whose books no
body has read. tried to talk to him
about my boys. Of course not that he
has ever seen them or heard of them, but
I suppose, from force Of habit. When he
found out that they were not in their
school elevens, he became morose and
wanted to talk about his nephews, as if
could possibly be interested in them
knew that, like all authors, he only
wanted to talk about his books, so I asked
him how he managed to do such ire
menduos lot, and said that supposed he
must work twenty hours day. How
did he find time? He said that where he
lived, in some heaven-forsaken slum in
the suburbs, time could be picked UP
quite easily, and I heard him mutter
som ething about knowing a Bank where
the wild time grows. said that never
had any time, when he asked me If kept

said, ought to have about an eighth Of
