NEW YORK, July IA great bust

and the boom will grow to record size,
Chairman L. H. Gary, of the United

weeks than at any time since last Oc-
tober. Judge Gary, who has just sailed
for Europe, leave this optimistic ex-
preston of business conditions and
prospects:
Railroad companies al beginning
to realize that money is plentiful and
cheap and easy to obtain when first
class securities are offered.
Farmers, the great wealth producers
of the country, have confidence in
financial conditions.
are sound. The moral tone of the peo-
pie has been elevated.
Full credit will be given President
Roosevelt for the efforts he has made
in raising the standard of business
conduct.
Financial conditions are improved
and improving. There will probably be
worked out a financial system which
will provide funds for the expansion or
contraction of the volume of business
and for the immediate wants of par
ticular localities which result from the
eXigencies of the time and place.

ASBURY PARK CITY
IS SOLE OWNEROF
BEACH,, COURT SAYS
Vice-Chancellor Howell Rules
That Municipality May Pre-
vent Landing or Bathing.
INJUNCTION AGAINST YACHT
OWNER MADE PERMANENT
Captain Maddox Had Landed
Passengers Without Pay
ing for Privilege.

Under a decision by Vice-Chancellor
Howell today the city of Asbury Park
retains exclusive ownership of its mag
nificent beach front and may prohibit
the public from landing OF the beach or
bathing in the same without paying for
the privilege.
s. A. Patterson, counsel for the city
of Asbury Park, sought to continue the
temporary injunction against Captain
Harry Maddox, of the yacht Carib, on
the ground that Asbury Park paid $780,
900 for it's beach front and owned 1t
exclusively. Captain Maddox was re-
Gently restrained from landing parties
from his boat on the beach, the right to
do this having been sold for three years
to another person for $3.50 by the city.
The beach. a mile long and 300 feet
wide. was bought from James A.
son. For the land alone the city paid
500, 900. The city built a boardwalk,
arcades, theatres and pavilions at a
cost of $780, 900. The right to control
the beach, prevent landing thereon n
bathing in the surf was given to the
city by Mr.. Bradley. who owned them
under an act of the Legislature In 1903.
These rights are vested in the city,
and Captain Maddox is a trespasser."
Frank P. McDermott, counsel for Cap
tain Maddox, declared that the beach
was public property, the only attrac-
ton of the city, and that the Legisla-
ture never contemplated giving any
man the exclusive right to say who
should land on it or battle in the
surf.
IF you AXE away the beach Asbury
Park is only a nuisance" declared Mr..
McDermott.
For twenty-eight years. he con-
tinued, "the Emma B., a small yacht,
just what Maddox is doing now, n
was unmolested. This twenty-eight
years of practise gave to the public the
right to use the beach. and especially
Captain Maddox, the successor to the
captain Of the Emma B."
The court held, however, that the
Emma B. had been a trespasser for
twenty-eight years, and that the in
junction against Captain Maddox
should be made permanent.

ON EXCISE Anglers
GERMAN SOCIETY
Pioneer Association Adopts Res
olutiOns Unfolding Mayors
Liberal Views.

UNFOLDING Mayor Haussling for his
attitude regarding q liberal interpreted
ton of the excise laws and condemning
County Prosecutor Mott, the German
Pioneer Society adopted the following
protest, signed by President Feuchins-
field and Secretary l.. Ohaus, at its
semi-annual meeting:
Resolved, The adverse criticism by
County Prosecutor Wilbur Mott of
Mayor Haussling's demeanor in refer
ence to the protest parade on Pfingst
Monday is held by the German Pioneer
Society to be highly unjust and un-
warranted. Mr.. Mott thereby not only
offered an insult to the Mayor. but also
to many thousands of good citizens
of this community, who elected Mr.
Haussling by an overwhelming ma
jority to be their chief executive officer
on account of his open-hearted n lib
eral-minded character. We are no law
breakers, and never were such, but we
claim that there is a vast distinction
between being compelled to submit tc
a certain law and abiding by 1t cheer
fully.
Since its very existence this new
gag law has not produced anything
yet which would serve to satisfy the
respectable citizen of his city who
understands and respects the Constitu.
ton. but, to the contrary, has deprived
thousands of their honest livelihood
while every other citizen hhas beer
shamefully defrauded out of his right
of self-determination."
