JUDGE Harrison Starts L..

The arrest and detention of former
Mayor A. A. Ames at Hancock, N H.
yesterday is the direct result Of the ac-
ton taken by Judge Harrison several
weeks ago, when in open court he in
formed County Attorney F. H. Board
man that it had come to the ears of
the court that there seemed to be a
prevailing opinion in the city that the
return of A. A Ames was not desired.
- So far as the court was concerned
he did not wish to have such a stigma
attached to that branch of the govern
ment, and if such was the case he
knew nothing about it, and in order
that the position Of the court might
be made clear he instructed the county
attorney to use every means at his
command to secure the return Of Dr.
Arnes to this city without any further
delay. All that was necessary for
him to do was to invoke the powers
at his command, and the fugitive
would be returned without delay, as
at hand that the whereabouts of Ames
was known.
He further ordered the county attor-
ney to proceed Immediately against
Ames' bondsmen to collect the $4,000
bonds that had been declared forfeit
ed. He wanted it to be clearly un-
derstood that the court was not a part
Of any proceedings of delay in a mat
ter of so vital Importance to this
county.

Now to Settle.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 15.-
Minister Bowen expects to begin i'm
mediately the preparation Of the pro.
tocols with the representatives of the
allied powers for the settlement of the
claims of the nations who have suffer-
ed as result of the troubles in Ven
ezuela. There are eight of these claim
ants, including the United States. The
drawing up Of the protocol with this
nation will be the first attended to.
Solicitor General Proctor will repre-
sent the United States in this work. It
is Mr.. Bowen's belief that matters will
now move forward with greater rapid
ity than they did with the representa-
tives of the allied powers who were
enforcing the blockade against Ven
ezuela- The negotiations with France
will follow those with the United
States and so on until the protocols
with all the unallied creditor nations
shall have been completed.

DOG KILLED
so CHICKENS,
Residents in Madison Avenue
and Paterson Streets Meet,
with Loss.
SHOT ANIMAL LATER.

For the last few weeks the residents
of Madison avenue and Paterson
street, who own chickens, have been
troubled by a large black dog which
would get into the coops and kill the
fowls. Last night the dog managed
to get into the coop of John Finger
ote, of 8 Paterson street, where he
slaughtered sixty chickens. The dog
then went to the coop owned by Joseph
Stumps, of Madison aveune, where he
killed large duck.
The family of Mr.. Fingerote and
neighbors of Mr.. Stumps were awak-
ened by the noise the fowls made but
before they could get near, the animal
had disappeared.
Down Paterson street little below
Fingerote's, the dog managed to get
into the chicken coop owned by a
Danish family, but before he did any
damage, the owner of the place shot
him.
Many people living near where the
damage occurred are .of the opinion
that the dog was mad. The people
who lost the chickens are now look
ing for the owner.

Matter.
IDEA is POPULAR.

Regarding lt-Depends on Meeting Wed
nesday.

Members of the band, which used
to give evening concerts in Perth

nesday night to discuss the idea of
reorganizing. G. Howard Smith is
the promoter of the movement now
on foot. He says he has talked to
several of the former members on the
subject and they speak enoouragingly
sn that from present appearances the
reorganization will take place.
Mr.. Smith has been away from
Ferth Amboy for some time on bust
ness, but his work is now arranged SO
that he will at least spend the summer
months here. He is anxious to get
the musicians together and thinks the
band can be made a greater success
than ever
A band in Perth Amboy has always
been popular. Whenever a concert
has been announced crowds of people
have assembled to listen. The Rari-
tan Traction Company took advantage
of this popularity when they first put
their line in operation and opened
Raritan Terrace. Hundreds of people
spent their nickles to go where the
music was.
Much depends upon the meeting
Wednesday night whether or not the
band will be reorganized this summer.

STRIKE WILL
BE LONG ONE.
Painters get Work Elsewhere
and say they do not Care how
Long it Lasts.
co TO TOTTENvILLE.

1t seems now as if the fight between
the Painters Union and the bosses
will last for long time as both sides
seem just as determined as ever.
Charles Beck, who is the foreman
painter at the shipyard of A. O. Brown
and son, of Tottenville, has put to
work twenty painters from this city
and expects soon to be able to take on
more. 1t is said that the work at A.
O. Browns shipyard will last at the
least three months and as the painters,
VINO work in Tottenville, get the scale
of wages paid the painters in New
York, they say they are willing to
work as long as the work lasts.
A Railway firm now has eight local
painters at work. Many other paint
ers who wish to stay in Perth Amboy,
have been looking about for contract
" ork. Some have received enough to
keep them employed for some time.
Several painters, when seen by a
News reporter, this morning, said
that they were rushed with orders,
and that when the boss painters did
want to hire men, they would find it
rather difficult, as the men were now
taking contracts so far ahead that it
would take them all summer to finish
them.
The bosses are not saying much.
1rany of them have expressed their
views by saying they do not care if
the strike lasts year.

Defeated the EquitableS by Score
of 10 to g. MOOrehead
Pleased the Crowd.
ROCHELLE'S GOOD WORK.
Surprised Everybody on Saturday by the
Way the Visitors Were Cleaned up
Rochelle in Box with Excellent Support
did it-Weather was Fine and Crowd
was Large.

That the unexpected happens in
baseball as we'll as in other fields of
human endeavor. was amply demon
strated Saturday when the Marions
overwhelmed the Equitables ten runs
to three. 1t was not that the fans
lacked confidence in the locals ability
to secure victory even from such
fast teams as the Equitables unques-
tionably are.
What caused the rooters surprise
was the fact that the Marions should
administer such a severe drubbing to
the visitors when all previous contests
usually waited until the ninth inning
to be decided.
Three factors were mainly respon
sible for the loss of the game by the
Eduitables and the victory of the
Marions. The first was the effective
pitching of Rochelle, the second was
the splendid support accorded him,
and the third was the heavy batting
of the locals. Rochelle showed his
prowess to the delight of the crowd
in the third inning when, with two
men on bases, he made big Bill Tier
ney saw the air. Again in the fourth
inning with man on second base and
no one out he caused Reinacher and
McKenna to pop up flies and then
foppod Eraadhor0
The support he received was gilt
edged, Moorehead especially playing
a brilliant fielding game at second
base. Herman also made some fine
stops and Leonard made a star catch
of Lamar's high fly in the third inning.
The Marions lit on Hopper for four
teen safe drives with a total of
twenty -one bases. They started their
run getting in the first inning when
Moorehead doubled and scored on
Leonard's single. In the third inning
Rochelle singled and scored on Leon
ards single. In the third inning
Rochelle singled and scored on Hop
per's triple, Herman was hit and stole
second, and Galvin's single scored
Moorehead and Herman. In the
fourth two more runs crossed the
plate, Hoffner's hit yielding three
bases, Lyons single tallying him and
the centre fielder scoring on Kiernan's
double. In the fifth Connolly singled,
advanced on Hoffner's hit and scored
on Lyons safety. In the sixth the
Marions got their hnal three runs,
errors by Lamar and Reinacher giving
Kiernan and Leonard their bases and
Galvin's two bagger sending both
men home, the locals leader himself
scoring on Lindeman's bad throw to
Freedberg.
The Equitables got their first run in
the sixth inning, Rochelle's error
giving Lamar life, Tierney's single
advancing him and Lindeman s double
scoring him. They got two more in
the ninth, McKenna reaching first
when the ball bounded away from
Calvin, Freedberg hitting safely and
both men scoring when Bernard s low
fly got away from Lyons.
Next Saturday the strong Knicker-
booker A. @. will be here in an en-
deavor to put stop to the Marions'
winning streak. This team has been
playing fast ball and should give the
locals hard tussle for the victory.
The following is the score:
