LAND OWNERS
TELL OF THE
LOCAL VALUE.
Commissioners to Fix Price on
North AmbOy Lots Adjourned
Until Friday.
TO EXTEND EASTON ST.
Witnesses Tell Of Prices Asked
for Lots in the
Vicinity.

The taking of evidence in the con-
demnation proceedings for the ex
tension of Easton street was con-
cluded about O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon and an adjournment was
taken until next Friday morning.
The case against st. Stanislaus, In
dependent Polish Catholic church was
concluded for yesterday after the tes-
timony of Samuel j. Watson and
Samuel j. Vail had been given and
that a lot 25x100 feet in that part
of State street is worth $500, as
told in the NEWS yesterday.
Mr.. Vail told of selling lot near
the Lehigh Valley bridges few
weeks ago for $500.
Lawyer Cowenhoven, for the
church. tried to undermine this tes-
timony by asking the witnesses point
ed questions as to the basis of their
estimates.
Mr.. Watson said he had been in
the real estate business in this city
for over twenty years and had made
several sales in the vicinity of State
and Easton streets.
Mr.. Vail testified to being in the
real estate business here for eight
years, during which time he has
made many sales, some of them near
the place in question.
When the church case was finish
ed for the day, Robert Harding,
whose property is also needed, was
sworn.
He estimated his house and lot
to be worth $4,000. He said the
house cost $1,7S5 to build four or
five years ago, and that he has made
numerous improvements since then.
Mr. Harding said that, if lot
near the Lehigh Valley bridges,
which is opposite railroad property
where houses cannot be erected, is
worth $500, lot on the same street
in the same locality, but where
houses can be put up across the
street, ought to be worth more than
that figure. He told of having offer
ed $500 for a lot there recently, and
VI eohSQ lOl PHOU ElOI6 lHdH
that.
lgnatz, Marchiniak, part of whose
property is needed, was sworn. He
could not understand why the city
could not be made to buy his whole
property. inasmuch as only a small |
part of it is required for the street. |
Mr. Marchiniak said he would
willingly sell his lot for 5000, of |
course without the house.
Anton Haremza did not appear.
The commissioners will receive
any further evidence as to the value
of the lands next Friday morning.
Mr.. Cowenhoven said that he was
not yet ready yesterday to present |
the church's demand for the price !
of their land.
The commissioners in the similar
case against the Perth Amboy &
Woodbridge railroad company, for
the extension of Easton street across
heir land, have not yet been sworn
in, because of the absence of one of /
them in town. They are Adrian
Lyon, w. Parker Runyon and George I
J. Haney. They will shortly be got
zen together

helms contained an ordinary glass fesa
tube filled with gasoline and likewise
packed in cotton, the end Of the tube
being plugged with the cotton to pre-
vent the escape of the gasoline.
Both Of these improved bombs were
contained in wooden boxes six inches
in length, two inches wide and an inch

LETTER FROM
SCHOOL BOARD
is RESENTED
Building TradesAssOCiatiOHHOlds
Mr.. COIyer's Communication
as an Insult.
PREPARING A REPLY.
School Board Secretary Init
mates There Are no Com
petent Men in Perth AmhOy.


AT the meeting of the Building
Trades Association held in Dana hall
last night, the entire time was taken
up in discussing the letter received
from Jesse Colyer, secretary Of the
Board of Education. The builders
are highly indignant that such let
ter should be written to them with
capital letters to emphasize the mean
ing. The opinion seems to be that
Mr.. Colyer does not believe there
are competent men in Perth Amboy.
Following is the letter in full:
July 26, 1905.
J. p Koyen Esq
Secy. Building Trades Assn
Perth Ambo., N j.
Dear Sir:
AT meeting of the Board of
Education, held July 25, 1905. I
was directed to write you again with
regard to your communication OF
May 20 last, wherein you apprised
the board of resolution passed by
the association requesting the Board
of Education mot to award heating
of School No. / to nonresident con-
tractors, feeling it an injustice to the
citizens of Perth Amboy having COM
petent and responsible contractors
residing here
The school board is very anxious
to find COMPETENT men to do their
work in all branches, and in award
ing contracts they aim to do Justice
to the citizens of the city by having
the work done in the very best man
ner
That is the case in the heating and
ventilating of school No /, and if
you will appoint committee to meet
with the school board, either at the
high school at any one of their
meetings, (or a special meeting can
be arranged for the purpose.) they
Will prove ito the satisfaction of any
fair minded man that NO COMPET-
ENT contractor bid on No. /, who
resides in this, city, it can be proved
that the only bid for the heating
from any party having the SLIGHT |
EST knowledge of scientific heating
and ventilating came from the very
contractor who is at present doing
the work, that the Board of Educa-
ton by awarding the contract for /
heating No. l, conserved the inter-
asts of the citizens of Perth Amboy,
and did injustice to no one.
Disappointed and incompetent con-
tractors will sometimes raise great |
howl when they are beaten, and by |
raising the cry of dishonesty and /
graft may sometimes impress the un-
thinking that the methods of those
IN public Office are the reverse of |
correct, that has been done by part
es in connection with the heating
)fl school No. l. and the Board of
resent it,
You are a representative body of
such must have the interest of the
,ity at heart, the school board feel
ng that is the case, are anXiots tc.
be set right before you, and are will
ing to meet your committee any
where, at any time, to go into the
lHeIltS Vi the COulIdtl lOI HSdllHS
school No. l, they want an oppor- |
Lunity to show that it requires some
thing more than ability to wipe
joint or make stove pipe, to war
rant one in claiming ability to erect
4 heating and ventilating plant in
4 school house, and to do ii right |
from the beginning
An early reply will oblige,
Yours truly.

into proper form for transmission to the Emperor. Little. however, has been accomplished in the way of formulating ananswer embodying advice to M, Witte.
 The full Japanese terms in detail were not contained in one message, but comprise several. all of which had to be deciphered, and it was comparatively late in the day before the matter was finally in shape. The terms were sent to the Emperor at Peterhof today. De- spite the fact that M. Witte has suffi- ciently broad powers to give Russia s answer to the Japanese, 1t was declared at the Foreign Office today that he should have to wait before SO doing after advised from here that the terms had been thoroughly considered.
 While the Associated Press was in formed today in several quarters, though not official. that the terms on first reading appeared to be unexpect- edly excessive, but later in the day 1t was said that the first conceptions might be easily erroneous and that a more careful study of the terms showed that they were not so severe as at first thought.

Present Administration in the Philip pines:
 "On my part it is due to you that If I do nothing else tonight I should make clear the views of the adminis- tration upon the present and fut--' the islands. The American peep. divided on the question am to dh into three parties. There are a ey- siderable number who have the imperialistic idea of extending tn t,- fluence of America by purchase conquest into the Orient, enlarging power of the American government fc- the purpose of controlling the Pacific and securing the largest share possi- ble of the Oriental trade. yet undevel- oped during the next 100 years.
 There Is a second party and this is much the largest, who regard our taking over tn islands from Spain after the war with the gravest reluctance and who would have been gratified in the extreme if the assumption of the burden could have been avoided. The issue has been under consideration by this party and indeed by the whole American people and the attitude of mind they now hold respecting the Philippines may be stated with some accuracy.
 They have come to the conclusion that, however reluctant they were to
 
 Is their duty to meet the responsible ities imposed upon them with prompt ness, courage and hope. They believe that they have become the trustees and protectors of the whole Philippine peo- pie and must prepare that people to maintain the stable government now there.
 There Is a third party which favors giving the islands immediate independ- ence. This party may be divided into classes having different motives. The first class is anxious to rid the United States of the burden of governing the Filipinos for the benefit of the United States The second class Is anxious to rid the Philippines of the government of the United States on the ground that the Filipinos can make their own gov ernment. This third party has been twice defeated In an election on that issue.
 The second party has for its chief exponent President Roosevelt. He believes that it Is the duty of the Uni ted States to prepare the Fhipinos for self-government. This will require q generation and probably longer and the form of self government will be left to the individuals who will control the two nations at that time. It fol- lows that the President--and he him- self desires me to say this to the Ftii- pinos-feels charged with the duty of proceeding on this policy and main taining the sovereignty of the United StateS

N. Witte is Hot.

Portsmouth, N H.. Aug 1l.-Millions of mosquitoes and intolerable heat con- front the plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan and their suites. Through out the entire day there has been no relief from the heat and humidity. Just at dark a listless warm rain set in. It's only effect was to drive swarms of mos quitoes into the hotel and the guests had either to bar themselves in their rooms or walk, stamp and beat the mosquitoes off.
 No one has felt the heat more than NJ Witte. He Is a heavy man of large stature and not accustomed to extreme climatic conditions of summer. He worked in his rooms throughout the day in negligee costume. and every mo- ment he was drenched with perspira ton When the final revision of the French and English texts of the Rus sian reply to the Japanese terms had been concluded shortly after o'clock he and Baron Rosen entered their au- tomobile and were off for a spin of nearly two hours along the short roads It was the only recreation for the Rus sian and the Japanese plenipotentiaries did not indulge themselves even to the extent of a drive. Throughout the evening the rain contiAued but without the usual refreshing of summer shower,

sympathy for New Orleans.

Binghamton, N. r., Aug. 11.-Presi- dent Roosevelt on his return trip from Chautauqua to his Oyster Bay home passed the day and tonight through the three states, New York. Pennsylvania and New Jersey At every station where a stop was made he was accord- ed A greeting as affectionate as 1t was enthusiastic.
 All along the entire route this after noon and this evening rain fell heaV- fly, but the storm seemed to have lit- tie effect on the determination of the people to see the President and If pos sible to hear him speak. During the afternoon the President made brief ad- dresses from the rear platform of his car at Salamanca, Hornellsville, Elmira and Waverly. At Hornellsville the President touched effectively upon the horrors of the yellow fever epidemic now raging in New Orleans. His ad- dres follows:
 My friends, in passing through PennsylvanIa and New York today and realizing the happiness and prosperity of our people I have felt SO much that we ought all of us to realize that there is one portion of our country now which has been overtaken by great disaster The city of New Orleans is suffering in its contest with yellow fever and no one who has not been through an epidemic or the threat of an epidemic of that kind can appreci- ate the full horror that 1t brings. The National Government Is now doing whatever it can do to help New Or leans. As yet that sympathy is lim- ited simply to the action of the medical branch. We stand ready to help that great city at any time and I know the sympathy of every other part of the country goes out to the people of New Orleans and Louisiana as they battle valiantly against the foe that has come upon them.
 Before President Roosevelt left Lakewood the private car of Frederick D Underwood, President of the Erie Railroad was attached to the special train. On board were President Un- derwood. Seccnd Vice. President Rich ardson and General Manager Stuart, who accompanied the train to Jersey City. Every precaution possible was taken by the Erie officials to insure to the President safe Journey over their lines.
 A pilot locomotive was run ahead of the train over the entire route and another locomotive followed the spe- cial at a distance of few miles to be ready in case of emergency. Extra patrols were placed on the line to guard against accidents by washouts. The train is scheduled to arrive in Jersey City at 1 a. m. There 1t will be sidetracked and the President will be afforded an opportunity to get a com fortable rest until morning. At $40 tomorrow morning the President is due to arrive at Oyster Bay.

POLICY IS OUTLINED
TAFT TELLS FILIPINOS WHAT TO
 EXPECT.
At Banquet FeaFIessIy Met Issue And Told Natives That Teddy Didn't Want Them But Had to
 Keep Them.

Manila. Aug. 11.-A banquet given by natives to the Taft party tonight attracted great interest and 1t was expected that Secreary Taft would out line the policy of the present adminis- tration.
 For some time past the feeling among the natives has been that the administration was deviating from the Mckinley policy and as a result there was noticeable disaffection among politicians with the insular govern ment and also some unrest This at- titude was met fearlessly by Secretary Taft who upheld the administration policy. When he finished his address he was loudly applauded He said in part. in response to the toast, The
