OCEAN GROVE PROPERTY OWNERS.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In to-day's paper you make severe attack
on six hundred property and voters of
ocean Grove who wish and have petitioned for a
borough form of government You affirm that they
show zone of the queeTest kinks that twist the
minds of queer humanity" In reply would state:
F'irst-The six hundred respectable people who
signed this petition not incipient unatics They
have good reasons for their conduct. and viii get
a serious hearing some day before the New Jersey
Legislature.
second-Those who favor the borough also favor
the camp meeting association carrying on its must
cal and religious work in its own way Ihey are
all Of one mind that point
Third-They do not favor autocracy. however.
which gives no direct representation to two thou
sand uroperty owners. These two thousand have
had no voice vote influence in deciding who
shall govern them or how. as a municipality. they
shall be governed. \ camp meeting charter grant
ed when what is now Ocean Grove was a lot or
sand dunes fails to meet the conditions OF a
town of three thousand permanent inhabitants
Fourth-They want certain appropriations"
made from the large amount of taxes they pay.
and cannot get such appropriations under present
conditions.
FYfth-The camp meeting association does not.
for lack of money keep up the place properly. and
the nroperty owners want collect and expend
taxes for that purpose
Sixth-The New Jersey Legislature allowed a
borough government Pitman. where the Pitman
Grove camp meeting located. and 1t has greatly
,rosnereJ There is double the for granting
II to ocean Grove which has double the population
of the town of Pitman.
Ocean Grove wants a camp meeting. a musical
resort and a thriving American town Many
outsiders confound their idea of Ocean Grove
ANN meetings with the town, which leads them
into the queer that the writer Of the article
raferred to is suffering from. 1t is certain that
the friends Of the borough Will triumph eventually
If they persist Reason ana American spirit VIII
surely prevail c. B. IMBRIE-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
"sALoME" IN PHILADELPHIA.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I wish TO protest against such misrepre-
sentation OF my recital you have published in
The Tribune of February 10. 1t conveys wholly
false and damaging impression The uprising IN
Philadelphia was wholly against the presentation
Of the opera by Mr.. Hammersten. My recital had
been advertised for weeks without protest
had TWENTY-FIVE names as patronesses- all well
known and influential women; but when the clergy
began to preach against the opera, and the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union to pray against
H. and all other religious societies began 10 raise
their voices the managers OF the Acorn Club began
to be frightened. and cancelled their contract for
the use their rooms for my recital The excite
ment when I left Philadelphia was at a white
heat It extended to bellboys. clerks motormen-
Everybody was asking; will the Mayor stop the
performance of the opera? What will Mr.. Ham
merstein dor" Not a word of all this agitation
appeared in your paper. Any one reading the
inclosed account would imagine that l had been
publicly insuted on some personal ground have
A right to protest as an artist, also have right
to protest as advertiser in your paper 1 trust
YOU will seek to make some statement OF the
situation which will approach the truth. Hoping
that you Will regard the matter OF sutnclent I'M
portancs to give it your attention. I am,
Augusta, Ga. Feb. II, 1909 AMY GRANT
miss Grants account of her experience seems
entirely to confirm what said about it in
The Tribune The fact that the agitation had
its origin in disapproval of the opera, which
disapprovaI has been duly chronicled in The
Tribune Miss Grant TO the contrary notYith-
standing is not inconsistent with the account
of the incident of Miss Grants recital which,
and not Mr. Hammersteins opera, was the sole
tonic Of the dispatch I'm question. OF course,
nobody imagined that Miss Grant had been
nubliclv insuIted on some personal grcund."l
