so as to have it buif as soon as pos

From what can I've learned II Is salu
that the scheme has powerful pafhlns'
which will make the execution OIL TIE

The idea is said TO have originated win
the Hackensack Land and improvement
which has acquired a great par

also said that the company Will MOI ONLY
furnish the land on its own property, but
also build a considerable portion OF the
proposed boulevard.
The scheme will, in all pronapinty, De
made known at a meeting TO be feld AT
the Board of Trade rooms Saturday night
when action will be taken toward obtain
ing improved facilities for travel On thor
oughfares between this city and Jersey
City
It il realized by many Interested In the
matter that there is not much hope or
sufficiently and quickly improving the
Plank road IT the Turnpike road, on ac-
count of the space taken up now by the
Public Service Company, especially on the
Plank road, because it was assessed for
the payment of the new bridge over the
Hackensack. and then, too, the need is
felt for more than two roads between a
city the size of Newark and the metropo-
lis. Z
The proposed boulevard, however, ap-
peals TO many who are interested in OBJ
tanning better facilities to the Hudson
River, and more especially as it would be
the means of getting al entrance into the
uppe part of New York city.
Another point is that 1t can be kept
free of trolley traffic. "

MEXICAN ALARMISTS
SEE TROUBLE AHEAD

MEXICO CITY. Dec. 17.-Now that the
American battleship fleet has started on
its journey to the, Pacific, the probable
action of the United States Senate on the
treaty, which was recently signed by
Mexico and by which the American gov
eminent gets the right to install and mail
tain two coaling stations in M~agdalena
Buy for three years. is looked forward tn
with interest in view OF the report which
was printed then that the Senate would
ratify IT.
The granting of the concession has given
rise to startling statements on the part
of the Mexican press: but FL Impartial,
which is regarded as semi-of1cial, treats
lightly the alarm which seems to be felt
by its colleagues.
Ell impartial takes occasion 10 speak OF
the advantages of the fleets guar1i in
Pacific waters in the event of a conflict
and averting the loss and complications
which might ensue from an attempt of the
japanese to coal in Mexican territory.
A number of other leading dailies pro-
Tess to see in the granting of the privilege
danger OF ultimate absorption by the
Yankees. The public in general does not
| seem to be much interested in the discus
sion, and the expressions of these papers
are not shared by them.

Sank Its Teeth into Cheek
and CIaWed at His
Eyes.
HAD GRIP LIKE BULLDOG
Not Allow Jaws to Be
Opened Until Iron Bar Was
Heated Red and Put Into
M0uth.-ScOre of Wounds
on Face Cauterized.

Workmen at the McCabe Boiler
| Works, 1876 Commerce street, AVE fo1
several days been trying to find a big
Maltese cat on whose head has been
placed many rewards n against
which many sentences of summary
death have beer passed. They want
the comely animal to wreak vengeance
upon it for one of the most atrocious
assaults a feline was ever known TO
commit.
1t happened at the big boiler plant
last Friday at noon. While George
Smith, II years old. who is employed at
the shop, was at lunch the cat leaped
upon him, sank its teeth n claws in
his face and neck, infiicting more than
a score of wounds, tearing and lacerat-
ing the surface in a both hor-
rible and painful.
The peculiar feature of the assault
was that the animal stubbornly refused
to release it's hold on the young mans
cheek until a red-hot iron had been
applied to its own jaws.
Smith was quietly eating his mid
day meal in company with the other
mechanics whe1 the strange cat wan
dered along 1t was of large size, wear
ing a coat of thick, silken fur, beauti-
full in appearance, n seemed to be
tame.
Smith reached out his hand towards
the approaching animal. hoping to play
with 1t during the interval between
that time and the blowing of the work
whistle.
Hardly had his fingers reached the little
monster when with an angry hiss 1t
leaped like a flash upon him.. Its teeth
were sunk to the gums in Smiths cheek,
almost piercing the flesh to the interior
of the mouth. Claws were brought Into
play. ripping the flesh about the young
mans neck, with an effort to reach his
eyes.
Fellow workmen saw the thing occur
but did not awaken from their surprise
until they heard the lads screams of
pain and terror.
The little monster was grabbed and an
effort made to- pull 1t away from its vic
tim. However, it held on, and the more
the men pulled on the cat, the more pain
full the experience was to Smith. TIT
feline was determined to not let so unless
in doing so it took the mouthful of cheek
it had caught in its first lurch.
II was seen that to forcefully drag the
| feline away would enhance the injury al
| ready done to Smith. Choking and like
methods seemed of little avail, for as they
endeavored to infiict punishment on the cat
with their bare hands it only bit and
| scratched the more at Smith.
Finally one workman hit on the happy
thought Of using a hot iron. Running into
the shop he heated a rod to a red heat
and applied it to the Jaws of the attacking
animal. The pain soon forced the cat to
release It's hold on the cheek OF its victim
Smith was hurried to the office of DIR,
Thomas S. McCabe, but he was not in,
and Smith was then taken to the office OF
DIR. Frank Devlin. who cauterlzed twenty
four wounds on Smiths face and neck.
All efforts to trace the cat, which scamp
cred away after being forced to abandon
its attack. have proved unsuccessful,

AID MlTS SHOP
THEFTS; CAN'T
EXPLAIN
Woodbridge Woman Took
Jewelry and Gloves from
PIaut's-- Held for Jury.

Mrs. Lillian Taynor. "A years old,
was held in 5000 bonds for the action
of the Grand Jury by Acting Judge
Yuill in The First Criminal Court this
morning, where she was arraigned OF
a charge of shoplifting. Miss Louise
Elliott, a store detective for L. S. Plaut
& Co, preferred the complaint against
the woman, charging her with the lar
ceny of jewelry valued at $50.
The Taynor woman was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Miss Elliott
after q. struggle, during which it was
found necessary to call for assistance
from several male employees of the
Plaut company.
When taken to the office of the
superintendent of the store an impro-
vised pocket was found under the
woman's coat, In which was deposited
several pieces of jewelry and a pair
of gloves. The woman admitted TAX
ing the valuables. Detective Sergeant
Fohs and Sergeant Council took the
woman to police headquarters. where
she confessed to having stolen the
articles.
Mrs. Taynor's suspicious actions near
the iewelry counter led to her arrest. She
| selected a small brooch and commented on
its appearance to a woman shopper, and
Miss Elliott saw her. She laid the brooch
down, but came back to the counter and
picked it up again. Thinking she was I'M
noticed she dropped the pin into her in
side pocket. Miss Elliott alleges. Miss FL
loft saw her and followed her to the
street.
In police headquarters a small pearl
handled revolver, 22-calibie, was found in
her possession. 1t was unloaded. The
woman claims she took it from her house
to show 1t to a nephew.
The Taynor woman is the wife of a
blacksmith in Woodbridge. and her visit
yesterday was only the fifth she had made
to this city.

WATERWAYS
ORGANIZATION is TO BE
FORMED IN NEW JERSEY.
Municipalities of state will Be Invited
to Attend Conference that Will Be
Held Here, Probably Next Month.

1t is expected that in a. few weeks
q State waterway congress will be or
| ganized at a meeting in this city for
| the purpose of influencing improve
nents of the waterways in New Jer-
| sey. A meeting of persons interested
! was held yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of the Board OF Trade under
the auspices of the river and naviga-
ton committee of the board. and it
was decided to send invitations TO OFF,
Gals OF all municipalities in the State,
asking them to SEN representatives to
a meeting or convention, to be held
here, probably in January, for the Or
ganizatbn of such a ongress and h a
meeting to be followed by invitations
for the congress itself. Tho first in
yitations are TO be sent out this week.
The action was taken in pursuance
TO a resolution adopted at the last
meeting of the Board of Trade author
izing the river and navigation COM
mittee to take immediate steps along
those lines. George w. Tomkins was
chairman of the meeting, with James
M. Reilly as secretary. The other
members present were Joseph H. Wood,
Alfred B.. Ayers. Captain Miles Nc
Keen and J. II. tAbercrombie
1t was recognized by all present that
whatever action was taken, no time
should be lost, in order to accomplish
the ends desired. IT was said by sew
eral that if there md been such an
organization some time ago more
money would have been appropriated
by Congress for Newark Bay improve
ments, and that II it is going to be
improved it will be only by the means
of organization of the different inter-
ests concerned.
At first several of tine members of
the committee wanted a call for q con-
vention issued Immediately, but ii was
finally agreed that the better way
would be to inform those interested in
the project, and then issue the call for
the convention.
1t was intimated that the several
railroads that have bridges over New
ark Bay are interested in the deepen
ing and widening of the channel in the
bay.
The many municipalities that are
served by the waters that flow through
the bay, it was claimed. should be in
terested in the matter of organiza-
ton of the congress, and that, with
the cooperation of all municipalities
in the State, all of the waterways in
New Jersey could be cared for in bet
ter manner than by each city attempt
ing to do 1t individually.
1t was pointed out that the immense
improvements on the Mississippi River
were due to combined forces of all in
terests along that waterway. The
same thing was due to the improve
ments on the Ohio River.
A powerful organization was always
more effective with the powers in
Washington, 1t was claimed. and. with
all interests in New Jersey combined,
it would make this State receive the
attention which it has not, had. in pro-
portion to it's rights, by Congress.
