CEANCE BOUNDARIES !
OF THE WARDS AGAIN
Republican Aldermen Petition Mayor
to Have Work Done Men Are Named

Perth Amboy ward lines are to be
changed again. A commission has
been appointed to fix the new bound
aries and it is expected the work
will be completed this week.
The wards, as they now exist, were
fixed by the democrats several years
ago, when they were in control of the
city government and, according to
general belief, the lines were drawn
so that democratic majority would
be gained in each ward excepting the
first.
Whether or not this was the OBJ
iect of the democrats, the fact re-
mains that the republicans eventual
ly obtained control of the city and
now a movement has been put on
foot to change the lines back again.
Whether or not it is to be so ar
ranged that the republicans can car
ry majority of the wards remains
to be seen.
According to law, when fifty per
cent, of the Board of Aldermen pet
ition the mayor to change the ward

lines he can appoint commission
to do the work This has been done.
A petition signed by Alderman-at-
Large Pfeiffer, Aldermen Stacey,
Rossi, Grouse and Schultz was hand
ed to Mayor Brace before he went
away. In the petition it gives as the
reason for the desired change, 'for
the proper representation of the resi-
dents of the CITY,"
Upon receipt of the petition the
mayor ordered the work be done and
named Ira B. Tice, John Fathergill
and Dr. Frank Crowther as a com
mission to determine the new wards
This commission will get busy at
once and will have the new bound
aries determined in time for the fall
campaign.
The changing of the wards will
not effect the polling places and no
matter how the first and third wards
may be changed they will still have
the two polling places. Likewise the
number of wards cannot be increas-

JAPAN WAIVE
INDEMNITY?
Reported on Good Authority at
Portsmouth that New Offer
will be Made.

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 2S:--lt was
stated here on excellent authority,
this morning, that the Japanese are
preparing new offer for the Rus
slams to consider when they meet
again tomorrow. This new plan is
said to wave all indemnity and leaves
the price of half Sakhalln to arbitra-
ton.
AS usual the Japanese ENJOYS are
mum and the Russians, of course, are
still in the dark. That there will be
something doing and that it will be
due to the direct influence of President
Roosevelt is certain. The waving Of
an indemnity is big concessi on for
Japan, but the japanese have been
given to understand that the Russians
are firm in their stand not to give q
penny. The feeling hore seems to be
greatly relieved and there is an air
of success which greatly enco urages
all the doubling ones.

NO MORE ROOM
FOR BAD BOYS
Judge Strong Says He Cannot
Send Any More to Jameshurg
at Present.
Special to the Evening News.

Special to the Evening News.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 2S:-Bad
boys under sixteen years off age
throughout this state are free to do as
they please for season at least and
need have no fear of getting COM
mitted to the State Home for Boys at
Jamesbu"g on the charge of being in
corrigible. The State Home ais full
to overlooking and the judges have
been notified by the authorities there
that they have no more room for new
comers.
Judge Woodbridge Strong, the old
est Judge in the state, upon being
asked by Justice Hayter, of this city,
to commit an Italian boy to the State
Home upon the complaint of the
father, said he could not do so at this
time as he had been notified by the
State Home that boys were now
housed there on cots and that living
quarters were too crowded to make it
comfortable. Under these conditions
Judge Strong said he would have to
wait until some other provision was
made for the care OF the New Jersey
bad boy.
"It seems, " said the judge, Gas if
the misbehaved boy under sixteen
years of age would have to be given
his liberty for a time at least. There
is no room in the State Home and
under sixteen they cannot be sent to
the State Reformatory at Railway.
The law salso provides that boys of
that age must be kept separate from
other prisoners if committed to jail
and in this Jail at least, if not in
others, there are no accommodations
such as the law contemplates. So the
bad boy will have to do as he pleases.
"Most of the complaints from
parents against their boys whom they
desire sent to the State Home result
in cases where there are second mar
riage. The parents make it intOlera-
BILE for the boys to stay at home and
when they run away they start pro-
ceedings to get rid of them. Perhaps
it is better for the boys that they do
as it makes them better citizens than
they might become under the condi-
tions of living at home"
