only the other day that if you would
only give him line or something to
work by they were willing to do
what was right. -
, Councilman Gallagher said the
petition of the people should be look
ed over very carefully. He under
stood that they intended to run
through one of the pieces of the
property of the borough that was in
tended for park and had not asked
any consent
Then Mr.. Hillman said he did not
see why it was the trolley company
was so anxious to get into the borough
by the shore route. He moved that
the resolution be taken from the
tlble.~ When this was done, Mr.. Hill
man moved that the the resolution of
Mr.. Kerr that the council would not
grant the franchise, be adopted. This
was done.
Mr.. LeGree said he had word to
say if the Mayor would permit him
to do so.
1--WE have fifteen miles of rails laid
along this coast" he said, and ours
is business proposition and we will
not do as everyone wants us to. We
do not intend to ask for another route
through your borough. That is out
of the question.
Mr.. LeGree then turned to Hillman
and quoted some of that gentleman e
remarks. Mr.. Hillman replied pretty
warmly and while he was talking he
was interrupted several times by
LeGree, and the Mayor interferred.

Asks for Receiver of the Ship
building Plant in this City
Assets Of the Company.
COMPLICATE MATTERS.
Willard Voorhees, takes Charge on AppIi-
cation of She'rerd Depue Represent
ina Receiver Campbell of the Bank
Pennsylvania Firm which Furnished
Steel is also After the Plant.

Another complication of the affairs
of the Perth Amboy Shipbuilding and
Engineering Company was added yes
terday when Vice Chancellor Stevens,
in Chancery Chamber, at Newark,
signed an orde appointing Willard
voorhees, receiver, on the application
made by Sherrerd Depue, counsel for
Edward S. Campbell, receiver Of the
Middlseex County Bank, of Perth
Amboy. =
Mr.. Depue told the court that
among the assets of the bank were
two mortgages for 100000 each and
one for $75, 900, given bv Hugh Ram
say, the former owner of the company,
who died in April, 1900, to secure
$40. 600 in notes which are also among
the assets of the bank. Mr. Camp
bell wishes to foreclose the mortgages.
Mr.. Voorhees, opposed the application,
saying that it would be disastrous at
this time to begin the suits, as the
concern has tie. government and a
large company to deal with. The
company is constructing two tugs of
the government, and the schoolship
Young America for a private concern.
Mr.. Depue, in reply to the object
ions of Mr. Voorhees,, said that he
had been informed that these con-
tracts could be completed in five or
six months, and that it would not be
possible to bring the property to sale
under the suits before that time. The
vice chancellor said that he would
permit Receiver Campbell to bring
the suits on the understanding that
there would be no sale of the property
without the further order of the
court.
George H. Speers, on behalf of the
Tide Water Steel Company, of Ches-
ter, Pa, asked permission to file liens
against the three vessels for supplies
and materials furnished. He said his
company had furnished steel castings
for the vessels to the value of $4,000.
On motion of Mr.. Voorhees, the vice
chancellor postponed the consideration
of Mr. Speer's application for two
weeks.

BOATS WERE
IN DANGER
BY SQUALL.
Hard Blow, but no Rain--One
Power Boat TOWed Ashore
by LOttie B.
DAMAGE UP SOUND.

The souall, which struck this city
and the bay last evening, while it did
very little damage, caused consider
able commotion and, for a time, it
looked as if things were going to turn
out much more seriously than they
did.
At the signs of the approaching
storm, the small boats in the harbor
scurried for shelter and most of them
revched shore before the storm broke.
One boat, however got, caught and,
having broken down, was towed i'll
by the steamer Lott1e B., running to
Sea Breeze from South Amboy. 1t
was the "Alice" gasolene launch.
The water, for time, had quite
an angry aspect, but caImed down
again in a short while. Down the
bay there was plenty of excitement
and in the horseshoe where the racers
are moored three was some danger of
several crafts being swamped. To
the north of this city the storm was
very heavy, reaching in some sections
the velocity of tornado.
On the new Central railroad bridge
across Newark bay the superstructure
was carried away and four men work
ing thereupon were killed. From Perth
Amboy the clouds looked very black,
but besides slight blow, which cool
ed the air, the storm did not reach
here Not drop of rain fell until
early this morning

The weather was not circumstance
to the heated discussions which TOOK
place in the South AmDoy council
chamber last night when the ordln-
ance granting a franchise to the Cen
trail Jersey Traction Company was
taken up and later was rejected
There was no little excitement and at
one stage of the proceedings one OF
the audience remarked, loud enough
to be heard, that he thought there
was going to be free for all, and
he thought it about time to get out.
Routine business was soon hurried
through and the discussion began as
soon as the franchise was taken up.
Before they began to warm up, now
ever, Councilman Gordon moved that
the franchise be adopted. The motion
was lost. Councilman Kerr then in
troduced resolution that the fran
chise be rejected. After some argu-
ment this was carried. This was the
beginning OF war of words which
lasted for some time.
Mr.. LeGree, of the traction com
pany, jumped up and said he objected
to the way things were being carried
on. He said there was petition be-
fore the council by the people asking
that the franchise be granted and the
people of the borough must be heard.
The Mayor called Mr.. LeGree down
then and told him he had not granted
him the floor. On motion of Mr..
Gordon the resolution was laid on
the table till the petition from the
people be read.
The petition of the citizens asking
that franchise be granted was read.
1t stated that they thought it would
be a benefit to the borough. Mr.. Cor
don said:
"Now Mr.. Mayor | have changed
my mind regarding the franchise OF
the trolley company.
see that there are certain ones who
want to throw them down. l do not
think that the company should be
knade to run out in the woods. We
nave a petition from the people before
us and their petition should be heed
ed."
Councilman Hillman then jumped
up and said that all the company
wanted was the shortest possible way
to get through the borough.
1--WE have one company IN the
borough now which we have no con-
troll over whatever. They run the
cars to suit themselves. On rainy
night you can stand on a corner an
hour or two and wait for car and not
get one and don't think it would be
proper to allow two more companies
to come into the borough. 1t would
not be long before the tracts on
Bordentown avenue would be torn up
for in my mind it is really the mid
dlesex and Somerset and Raritan
Traction Companies who want the
franchise"
"You are all the time kicking about

THE pAUoA BILL VETO.

1t is said that, by postponing action
Cd the Governors veto of the Pauoa
springs bill, the House has lost the
power to override that veto. The Or
ganic Act is mandatory in that it re-
quires legislative body, on the receipt
of an Executive veto. to proceed to
the consideration of the same. The
House did not proceed to consider. 1t
refused to proceed and took postpone
ment instead. Many lawyers believe
that this course incapacitates the
House from acting upon this bill fur
ther.
Let us hope so. Despite the fact that
some gentlemen of high repute voted
for it so as to save their own good
measures from defeat-a most fruitful
source of bad legislation-the bill has
nothing to recommend it. 1t is a bold
and fragrant job; a proposal to line
private pockets at public expense: a
weak and vicious substitute for the wa
ter legislation which the public inter
ests require. The reasons given by the
Governor Tor his veto are unanswerable
and are accepted as such by the bust
ness community.

THE NEW NAVY LEAGUE.

AS the American Navy grows interest
in its growth and advancement is being
aroused throughout the country. No
section of the United States has greater
reason to desire a powerful navy than
has the Territory of Hawaii. Situated
in the mid-Pacific. as these Islands are,
it is to the navy that We must look
for protection. The wonderful growth
OF the German navy in the last ten
years and the intense interest aroused
among the German people by the Ger
man Navy League has caused similar
action to be taken by number of
spirited men in the United States.
On December p, 1902. the United
States Navy League was incorporated
at Albany. New York. the incorporators
being Messrs. Jacob W. Miller. Jarvis
Edison. Washington Irving, Herbert l.
Satterlee and Jennings s. Cox, and the
directors include the gentlemen named
together with Ex-Secretary OF the Navy
Benjamin Tracy, Allen S. Apgar. VIII
liam Butler Duncan, Jr., Charles II
Loring. Henry Eckford Rhoades, C. B
Satterlee, Robert s. Sloan, ]. Frederick
Tams. Aaron Vanderbilt, John Van dc
Peel and T. c Wood. From this boart
of directors several committees hav,
been chosen for the purpose of devisinl
the methods and marking out the linei
along which the work CT the League
is to be conducted.
Speaking Of the incorporation of tn
United States Navy League and it's oh
jects. the Army and Navy Journal o

taking is to interest the people at larg
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-04-25

in the urgent work of building up our
navy 1t is proposed through the ORGAN
ization of the Navy League to array the
sentiment of the nation in support of a
broad-gauge policy of naval expansion.
The gentlemen who have taken the
initiative in this project are citizens of
high standing and wide experience,
whose single object is to arouse the
people to a sympathetic understanding
of the growing needs Of the naval es-
Enlistment.
1.-The scope Of the League is as broad
as the continent. Every reputable man.
woman and child in the country is
eligible TO membership. There is no
politics, no sectionalism. no selfish per-
sonal interest to serve in the under
taking. The one object is to help the
United States Navy. and to that end 1T
proposes TO appeal to the patriotism
of the American people and then have
the people appeal in their own way to
Congress for means of supplying the
Nayy's needs. It is hoped through
agencies, yet to be devised, to eventual
~ acquaint every household and every
boy in the country with the work which
the League wants to accomplish. The
plan considers the establishment OF
branches of the League in every city
and town where there is a desire to
cooperate in the enterprise, and
through these branches all available
means will be employed to arouse and
maintain an intelligent popular inter
est in the Navy.
THE national peace and honor must
henceforth depend upon the Navy, Tne
Navy depends upon Congress and Con-
gress depends upon the people. The
Navy League therefore proposes to edu-
cate the people in naval affairs and to
enlist their support in behalf of a policy
which shall insure more ships, more
officers and men with better training
for both and a great naval reserve COM
posed of hardy. patriotic young men
who can be instantly called to the ma
tons defense in time of need"
In order that people in every part of
the country may become affiliated with
the Navy League Sections which may
select the name of any naval officer OF
the United States, deceased, or the
name of an American battleship or the
name of a naval battle in which an
American ship was engaged, or the
name of its locality as the name of the
section" will be organized Each
section will be allowed to elect one.
Councillor for every hundred members
and these Councillors viii hold the an
nual meetings and elect the directors
of the League.
An effort is to be made TO organize
section in Honolulu within the next
few days. Letters were received from
officers Of the League by the last mail
asking that Section" be organized
here owing to the great interest nat
urally taken in the Navy in this Ter
ritory. 1t is believed that the early or
sanfzatfon of a Section here viii do
much to stimulate interest in the Navy
in inland cities on the continent. The
annual dues are only one dollar and
for these dues the League sends to
every member the publications of the
League free. The League has arranged
to publish an illustrated journal on the
subjects of the sea power eff the United
States and of the various maritime
powers.
