NEW BATH HOUSE.
Asbury's Mayor Says Lease of Fry G.
Mitchell Was illegal.
Especial to tho Evening start


ASBURY PARK, Sept. 21.-Mayor
Charles A. Atkins has vetoed the
Mltchell-Fry lease of ocean frontage
land at Second avenue for a hot and
cold sea water establishment, approved
by council last week. The mayors
veto is based upon ~illegality of the
proposed lease under the beach pur-
chase law of 1902, which provides that
no lease, or privilege shall be given
on the purchased property for a period
longer than three years, with the ex-
ception of an ocean pier which is es-
pecially permitted.
What action will now be taken to
carry out the project cannot definitely
be stated. 1t is unlikely. however, that
the structure will be put up by Messrs.
Mitchell and Fry, although it is not
believed to be definitely abandoned. 1t
has been suggested that a company be
formed to purchase Ocean VENUE land
on the west side of the ocean front
with a view to the erection of a COM
bined convention hall, theatre and hot
and cold water baths, with other pop
ula features. The project has taken
no definite shape, although it is I'M
derstood that a desirable plot for the
purpose may be purchased at this
time.
Mayor Atkins said this morning hat
he was obliged to veto the lease be-
cause the law was explicit. He said
the matter would not be dropped, how
ever, and that some other plan would
probably be adopted.

HIMSELF DOWN
IN WAGON TO DIE.
Looked Like Rip Van Wrinkle After
Twenty Years Sleep, but Said
He Is Only Twenty-Five.
Especial to tho Evening star.l


JERSEY CITY, Sept. 21.-Resembling
Rip Van Wrinkle after that twenty
year sleep, a man who, in a squeaky
voice, said his name was Harry
Cooney, of Rome, New York., and that
he was 25 years old, was found by
Patrolman Bloom lying in a closed
wagon under a shed at Grand and
Centre streets, Jersey City, early this
morning.
Bloom CHANGED to pass the shed on
his way home after a night tour of
duty and heard a groan. The sound
came from the interior of the wagon.
and upon investigation he discovered
the man, who he thought was about
so years old. The officer at first
thought him a tramp and was about
to rout him out of his hard bed when
the stranger put up his hand as If to
ward off a blow. n in a feeble voice
said to the bluecoat:
Don't hurt me, boss; / am starving
to DEATH"
This touched the soft spot in the Off
GERS heart n he lifted the emac-
lated form from the wagon to the
ground.
you're an old man to be sleeping in
wagons" said the patrolman.
81 am only % years old" was the
reply. 81 am really starving, n
climbed into that wagon to die"
AS he spoke he lapsed into uncon-
seriousness. An ambulance from the
City Hospital was summoned and the
man removed to that institution. Al
the hospital a tube was placed into
his mouth and warm milk and whis-
key forced into his stomach.
II do not think the man will re-
cover" said the house surgeon He
has been without food for days, and
the little nourishment that we nave
forced into him is not likely to restore
| him."
