HISTORICAL PLACES

Discussion which Took Place in
Senator Kaan's Committee Room
Regarding Kew Jersey.

AT Senator Kean,s committee room =.
few DAYS ago the subject Of conversation
was the large number of historical build
inps and places in New Jersey which were
in danger of restriction or dissertation
and the imperative necessity there was
for their preservation. A very Intelligent
friend of the State. well read in its his
tory, made this valuable suggestion. and
it was seconded by two New ,Jerseymen
present: II think the historical societies
| Of the State should join and start a pub
lie movement, in which a number Of the
more public spirited and wealthy citizens
would be sure to participate. for securing
possession of the more notable houses

AFTER
NEW JERSEY LAND.
Claim That Land Under Water
Around Ellis Island Can be
Seized.

Gov. franklin Murphy presided
Thursday over a meeting Of the Ripar-
ian Commission. at which Mr.. Viii
liam Fl. Harr, representing the law
department. at Washington, presented
a request for the lands under water
surrounding Ellis Island Attorney
General r. II. McCarter was present
for the State.
"Now. Mr.. Harr," began the
Governor. between puffs of his cigar,
"what have you to say about the
government having the right to take
the lands without compensation"
Mr.. Harr commended that Uncle
San could do as he had one in Az
lantic City and in Maryland. To n
question put by Commissioner Cloke,
Mr.. Harr admitted that the islnnd
was o detriment to navigation. He
argued that the immigration at Ellis
Island came under the head Of COM
MERGE and consequently fell under the
jurisdiction Of Congress.
"Could you take any lands along
or coast?" asked Commissioner Oloke.
Eyes, sir" was the reply; "if the
government needed them.
"Supposing New Jersey should re.
sist?'' asked the Governor. what
them"
"Well, the government could go
ahead and assert it's rights. The State
can't enjoin the government, but you
might sue to recover for lands taken"
replied Mr. Harr.
"How could we do that?' asked
Commissioner Cloke.
"That is a question for Jour Attor-
ney General" replied Mr.. Harr, and
everybody laughed, including Mr.. Nc
Garter.

TO
Be TERMINAL.
Central Railroad Buys Large
Tract Of Land There Start
for Suburban Trains.

Recent purchases of land OF North
ayenue, Dunellen. by the Central
Railioad Company has cause consider
able talk in railroad circles ct Dun
ellen and Somerville. Current talk
among employees of the company,
especially from those who are on the
inside, intimate that it is the intention
of the company to remove its term
linus to Dunellen and make that place
the main starting point for all subur-
ban trains.
1t was reported that the land pur-
chased was to be utilized solely for
the storage of passenger trains. With
the erection of a mammouth switch
and signal tower it is the belief that
the company has the consolidation of
the two terminals in view.
Such O movement would bring to
Dunellen a large number of families
who are now residents of Somerville,
and would be a big boom to that
place rs well as Plainfieid.
1t would prove an immense saving
to the companies, and is looked upon
as an effort at curtailment of expenses.
With the new oroei of things, two
crews would be- all the help necessary
in starting and receiving the various
rains.
by the reported arrangement Somer-
willie will lose none of It's passenger
service nor will the number of trains
be reduced. IL is said that connec-
tions for Plainfield will also be made
at Dunellen.
With these vast changes in view
Dunellen will become the largest
terminal between New York and
Ehston. and may in the future absorb
he Roselle branch, to a certain ex-
teat. 1t is a possibility that through
Newark trains will be on the schedule
Of tho project goes through.
In carrying out the vast improve
ment at Dunellen during the past
year the Central has already had com.
pleted and put in operation q new
turn table at an expense Of BIS, 600.

cars will DO erected ssin the spring.

Arabia Is Released.

LONDON. July BOA dispatch from
Weihaiwei says:
1T is reported here that Port Ar
thur has been captured and that the
British fleet has sailed for Weihal.
wei"
The basis for the report is that when
Russia no longer occupies Port Arthur
the British by the treaty will evacuate
Weihaiwei, and the inference is that
the British fleet is returning to Wei
haiwei to remove the stores, ETC., from
that place.
Not much credence is attached for
the moment to the Weihaiwei report,
though similar limo are flooding the
continent.
At Weihaiwei there is a British wire
less telegraph station, and the BRITISH
warships are all equipped with this
means Of communication. 1t is posi-
bic that Weihaiwei has been in wire
less communication with the fleet and
that the information of the full Of Port
Arthur was received in this manner.
1t is known that Port Arthur was
assaulted by land and sea on the east
and northeast defenses on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of this week,
and the belief is general that a deter
mined assault was delivered on Thurs
day. The bombardment was the heavi-
est experienced since the beginning of
the siege, and the Russian forts can
make very little reply to the Japanese
fire.
Field Marshal Marquis Oyama, ac-
companied by his staff, left Port Dalny
on Tuesday. He is conducting the jap
anese operations in person.
The fresh meat supply in Port Ar
thur is exhausted. Only the troops
are getting salt meat. Noncombatants
are subsisting mainly on oatmeal and
rice.
A Chefu dispatch says that the Japa-
nese lost a cruiser and gunboat last
Thursday night as a result of striking
mines.
After the battle Of Tashichao four
teeen trains were used to carry away
the Russian forces engaged. 1t is said
here that in this fight the japanese did
moi come to close quarters, the battle
being purely an artillery duel.

PUBLIC OPINION
Editor Evening News:

Editor Evening News:
Several accounts have appeared in
the News since the Elks excursion
concerning the musical part of the
program.
| wish to correct the statement IN
regards tho name of the band. This
organization is known MS The Totten-
Vile Cornet Band and not as Hadkins'
Band. Mr.. Hadkins is elected leader
from year to year the same as all other
officers of the band.
The T%ottenviIle Cornst Band was
organized over twenty-six years ago,
long before any musical union was
thought of in the United States, and
has maintained it's standing as q non
union band ever since, and will con-
stinue in tho same manner The band
was organized. as all bands are in
small towns, merely from o social
standpoint, and has been one of the
most successful organizations in the
east, and is recognized and treated in
the most courteous manner by the
unions in all the large cities where
we have played.
/. We have never made a business of
looking for work at any time. Ali
our engagements have come to us I'M
solicited and we have always gotten
higher figures than the schedule laid
down by the union.
