The Shortage In wheat.

Starting early In the summer with an
estimate Of 63o, 900, 900 bushels as the
probable total yield Of wheat In the
United States, the experts have gradu'

borhood Of 500, ,00O, 900 bushels Our
readers are familiar with the causes.

age. will profit in some degree by the
advantage in prices. The districts fav.
ored by good crops will be benefited to
an enormous degree.
Those in 9 position to- know assure
rs that the crop a. now estimated is
barely equal to domestic needs; and 1t
is inevitable that the volume of exports,
already greatly reduced, will continue
on . low level for twelve months to
come.
Another certain effect Of the shortage
in wheat will be increased relative con:
sumption on the tables Of the American
people Of corn, potstoes and vegetables
The increase may not be an absolute
gain, owing to tho fact that labor
troubles have dsmpened the ardor of
the speculative element and takes away
some Of the exhubsrance of spirits in
which the American people have been
doing business for several years past
Still labor is very we'll employed
throughout the country. with few
notable EXCEPTIONS and good, strong
demand is likely to operate in favor of
comparatively high prices for all that
the farmer has to SELL

ALDERMEN DIVIDE ON
ADOPTION OF RULES.
Motion Made by Alderman Stacey that Old Rules
Govern the New Board-TOft Has Amendment
Alderman Runyon Does not Vote
HITCH OVER APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES.

The first little tilt between the Re.
publican and Democratic aldermen
occurred at the first regular meeting
last night when Alderman Stacey
moved that the rules which governed
last years council be adopted to gov
ern the council for 1904. Alderman
loft was on his feet in a moment and
offered an amendment to the motion
that the rules of 1908 be adopted as
amended. 1t was thought that a test
vote was about to be had, and Alder
man-at- Large Pfeiffer asked for roll
call.
City CLERK kielley had just called
the name of Alderman Runyon and
he had asked to be excused from vot-
ing when Alderman Smith nipped the
matter in the bud by moving that the
matter be laid on the table, which
was done.
The fact that Mr.. Runyan would
not vote, if the rest had been divided
on party lines, the result would have
been tie.
The rules of the board last year
were that the committees should be
appointed by the Alderman at Large.
Before that position was occupied by
a Republican, however, the rules
were amended at recent meeting
putting. this power in the hands of the
majority of the board which is still
Democratic. Just now the matter
will result remains question. -

Recommendation Referred to Committee

At last nights meeting of the CITY

the Sixth ward and candidate for

Commissioners, to the position OF
patrolman on the police force to fill
the vacancy made by the death Of the
late Michael F. Burke.
Alderman Donovan moved that the
nomination be confirmed whereupon
Alderman Runyon rose to point OF
information. He asked if anyone
knew how old Mr.. Campbell was. He
said that there is city ordinance
prohibiting the appointment of police.
men, younger than twenty-one or old
er than forty-five years.
The alderman from the first did not
say that Mr.. Campbell was over forty
five years of age, but he did say that

Alderman loft said he consid.
cred that the candidate mentioned
would be ali efficient and faithful
officer and hoped that he would re-
ceive the appointment.
An amendment to the motion wal
offered by Alderman Smith that th'
matter be referred to the police com

Superintendent ShuII Declares
than Cannot be Before Next
Fall at Earliest.
MORE MONEY NEEDED.
Declares that the Appropriation for School
Purposes is Now inadequate to Meet
the Demands Of the School System and
Does Not See How Night Session Could
be Added.

The action taken by the members Of
the Young Mems Hebrew Association
at their meeting Sunday, has revived
the discussion of a night school in
this city. When copy of yesterdays
Evening News, containing an account
of the action taken, was shown Super
intendent 8. e. Shull he said he knew
of no city in the whole State where
such an institution was NOR. needed
and where it would do more good.
! do not see, however," said Mr..
Shull, chow it will be possible to
take any actual steps in this direction
for some time. Our present appro-
priation is too small even for the day
schools, so that it would surely be in
adequate for the maintenance of night
sessions. At any rate, nothing could
be secured for year, because the
State appropriation for schools is
based on the percentage Of attendance
and the number of teachers employed
for eight or more months. This re-
port is handed in on the s0th of June
each year SO that, at the earliest, the
night sessions could not be started be-
fore next fall.
"The apportionment for each r
er in The day schools 4

schools it is only one-half that snm oil
800. There is one difficulty frequent
lv encountered In starting night
schools which, however. 1 do not an
ticipate in Perth Amboy. That OBJ
stacle is lack Of interest. Ionce knew
of town of 1000 inhabitants. where
night school was begun with four
teachers and by the end of the half
year there was not enough work for
one teacher. The pupils tired of it
and gradually dropped off until there
were barely 25 per cent. of the origin
al enrolment.
"The $40, 900 more or less, which
the board of Education of this city
now receives from the State and city
together, would not allow for night
school for some time yet and do not,
at present, see our way clear to start
public school sessions in the evening. =
The general curriculum for night
schools consists of arithmetic, SPELL
ing, reading, writing, geography,
United States history and civil gov
ernment. The law provides for an

OF teachers employed. Persons over
twelve years may receive eaucation at
night at the expense of the city and

MAYOR SAYS THERE
WILL BE NO MESSAGE
Absence of any Communication from His Honor Last
Night Caused Some Surprise--Does not Want
to Burden Council
MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY LATER.

Considerable comment was caused
last night by the non-appearance OF
Mayor Seaman's annual message to
the board of aldermen Some of the
aldermen thought that perhaps his
honor did not wish to give his ideas
on the various municipal affairs until
the new board had become thoroughly
organized and on it's feet, while others
had an opinion that he might be wait
ing for certain developments in few
matters before committing himself.
+ Apropos of the air of mystery sur.
rounding this official communication,
which was so conspicuous ty it's alb
sence, a News reporter approached
Mayor Seaman this morning and ask
ed for some light on the subject.
When asked if the message might be
looked for at the next regular meeting
of the board his honor said:
"There will be no annual message
this year. 1 see no reason why
should burden the council with any
communication at this time. If any
thing arises in the near future requir.
ing special attention, I might possibly
advise the Board of Aldermen as to
my ideas on tile subject, but for the
present there will be no message. T"
''Is it not the custom for the mayor
of a city to send an annual message
to it's board of aldermen" asked the
reporter. s
"It is a CUSTOM, replied Mr.. Sea,
man, (which has been departed from
in the past aDd which will be depart
ed from in this city this year.

Fred A. Seaman Talks to the
Young Mems Forum About
the Pavement.
WANTS STREET PAVED.
Declares that the Action of the Board Of

has not Parallel in the History of the

ing.

At the first meeting of the Young
Men Forum under their newly elect
ed officers, held last night, much bust.
ness of import was disposed of. There
was an encouraging attendance to
greet the new officials. The feature
of the meeting was an interesting
address by Fred A. Seaman on the
subject of the Rector street pavement.
MIR. Seaman compared the relative
merits of brick, asphalt and the War.
rem bithulitic pavement and also the
cost and his observations of the var.
ious pavements in cities where they
are in use. Mr.. Seaman told the story
of the Rector street pavement from
start to finish. He said that many
people in this city base their objec'
tions to the Warren pavement on the
fact that it would obvlate competi'
tion. He declared that the Warren
company guarantees price per square
yard as cheap as, if not cheaper than
asphalt pavement has ever put down.
"I secured the signatures to my
petition of three -fourths of the resi-
dents and property owners on Rector
street." he declared, "and vet it was
turned down by the Board of Alder
men. defy any man to go through
the minutes of the city council OF
Perth Amboy and find parallel case.
eff I become convinced that the
Warren pavement cannot be secured,
will work for the brick or any Other
good pavement; only hope to see, ir
short time, the completion of some
pavement in Rector street. {"
Mr.. Seaman was greeted with muol
applause at the conclusion of his talk
He then presented the organization
with sum Of money to go toward
furnishing the new rooms. A rising
vote of thanks was rendered to Mr.
Seaman.
Applications for membership were
received from Arthur g. Burns ant
Garret Brodhead Jr.
There was considerable discussion
in regard to raising the initiation fe'
and monthly dues. Some deflnit
action in this matter will, in all like
llihood, be taken at the next meeting,
A check was ordered drawn to tn
order of the financial secretary, to b
