WELSH
Mayor BoIIschweiler Says
South Amboy Young Man
Must Be Taught Lesson.
DROVE UP ON SIDEWALK
AGAIN LAST NIGHT
Mayor Dodged Behind Poles
on Smith Street and Had
a Narrow Escape.

Mayor Bollsehweiler stated this
morning that he would make complaints
TO j. B. R. Smith, State Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles, about Ollie Welsh,
of South Amboy. The mayor saws that
Welsh did something in this city last
night which proved conelusively to
hifn that the young man should not be
allowed to drive an automobile.
According to the mayor, Welsh short
ly after O'Clock last night came up
Smith street in his automobile and,
when in front of the five and ten cent
store, drove up on the sidewalk, ran
along it for a short distance and then
turned off on the road again. Mr..
Bollsehweiler was walking down the
street at the time, and when the ma
chine jumped the curb, he thought it
would strike him, and he stepped be-
hind two poles. He SAYS that the car,
however, turned off the walk before
reaching the poles.
The mayor is considerably incensd
over the matter and says it is time that
Welsh was taught lesson and shown
that he cannot come over here and do
as he pleases. Welsh was arrested
twice in this city for similar offenses
not long ago and Mr.. Bollsehweiler
says that at the time when he ran his
car ON the sidewalk in front Of James
M. Glenn s cafe, Mrs. Bollschweiler
had narrow escape from being struck,

OCEAN GROVE MUST
PAY PROPERTY TAX

Ocean Grove, Aug 12:-T. Nelson
Lillagore, Assessor of Neptune town
ship, yesterday returned the Ocean
Grove tax duplicate to the Monmouth
County Board of Taxation. Mr.. Lii
lagore has assessed the lot property
in Ocean Grove against the Camp
Meeting Association, and has refused
to make the lessees of the grove res
ponsible for the payment of any part
of the lot tax, being guided in his
action by advice from the State
Board for the Equalization of Taxes.
The state board holds that the
Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Associa-
tion is the virtual owner of the lots
In Ocean Grove, and therefore must
pay the tax. The association ap-
pealed from the decision of the
State board and the matter has been
certioraried to the Supreme Court,
from which a decision is awaited.

ODD FELLOWS
HOME FIGHT
Answer Is Filed in the In
junction Suit Brought by
Jersey City Lodge.
CONCERNING FINANCES
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Aug. 12:-The Odd Fell
lows Home of New Jersey, the cor
poration which formerly owned and
conducted the Odd Fellows Home in
this city, has filed in the Court Of
Chancery its answer-ta.t1NSii iiiended
bill OF complaint in the suit insti-
tuted against it by Sumner Lodge,
| No. 130, of Jersey City. The suit
was brought for an injunction to
restrain the corporation from dis
tributing its assets, including the
$12, 1000 received from the Grand
Lodge of New Jersey, /. o. o. F.,
for the transfer to it of the Odd Fell
lows Home property.
The defendant, in its answer. de-
MES that all the money received by
| it from donations and other sources
was expended for the support and
maintenance of the Home, but claims
on the contrary that of the dona-
tions received $4,000 was expended
to pay a part of the mortgage on the
property and $4,000 was deposited
In savings bank and is still there.
There is also on deposit in the bank
$4,000 of the purchase price of the
Home.
The answer shows that the dona-
tions received for the Home we're
commingled with the money received
by the corporation as dues from the
lodges holding membership in the
corporation, and that this COM
mingled fund was used for the sup
port of the Home, except the balance
now remaining in the hands of the
corporation, which includes the S12,-
600 referred to.
The defendant denies that there
/ was any understanding with the
Grand Lodge that the latter should
In any way have any interest in. or
right to. any part of the assets of the
corporation. The answer AYERS that
III it be held that the money in its
hands constitute trust fund then it
| Is, under its constitution and bylaws
entitled to administer the trust itself,
without the interference from the
Grand Lodge, or by Sumner Lodge.
The defendant asks that the bill of
the complaint be dismissed.
Sumner Lodge is one of the fifty
eight lodges of the state composing
the corporation of the Odd Fellows
Home 1t claims that the assets of
the corporation should be distributed
pro rata among the lodges composing
| it, or in other words that Sumner
Lodge should receive a share. 1t
shows in its bill that all the 277
lodges composing the Grand Lodge
were assessed to raise the $4,000
to purchase the Home. 1t claims
that when the proposition to pur-
chase the Home was taken up in the
Grand Lodge it was with the under
standing that the purchase money
was to be paid in order that the
lodges in the corporation might re-
ceive some return for the money
they had contributed to the Home.
A schedule filed with the bill OF
complaint shows that Sumner Lodge
contributed s2,25799 to the Home.
The total sum contributed by the
lodges in the corporation during the
years 1t owned the Home was $780,
| 29961.

FURTHER INVESTIGATION

New York, Aug. 12:-Developments
today point to lively squabble be-
tween Commissioner of Immigration
Williams, who has been urged by Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Nagel to use
drastic measures in dealing with mis-.
sions and agencies which fail to protect
foreigners in their care, and the repre-
Isentatives of institutions for immi

Ellis Island.

for charity or gain. Before l am

such abuse and be in position to re-
port to the Department at Washington
that such homes and agencies officially

The most serious charges thus far
are made by Representative William s.

Commission, who described conditions
as appalling" For two years the
comission has been investigating con-
ditions surrounding the landing of i'm
migrants, but it will not report before
next March.
Enough has been learned, Bennett
said today, to show that women agents
for disreputable houses have been able
to 90 to many of the homes and engage
servants at from 81 to So apiece.

FOR INTERCLUB
SAILING RACES
One Design Class May Com
pete fer Cup--Yaehtsmen
Hereab0uts Interested.
YACHT CLUB MEETING

A scheme which, if adopted, would
do much to increase yachting interest
here and to promote friendly rivalry
among the several yacht clubs in this
part of New Jersey and on Staten Is;
land, is being discussed by the mem
bers of the Raritan Yacht Club in this
city and by the members of the other
clubs in this territory.
The idea, as outlined by its promoters,
is to have each club which joins the
movement purchase sailboat Of exact
ly the same design The competing
craft in such series of races would
thus be absolutely evenly matched and
the victory would rest with the sailing.
Each club would elect the skipper and
crew to man its boat and local man
is understood to stand ready to donate
IA handsome silver cup for the victor
ious club.
The type of boat which seems to
be most favored is the Swampscott
|dory. These could be purchased for
about $65 each, complete thus invol-
wing no great expense. The Staten Is
land clubs and others are greatly inter
|ested in the project, which was men
toned at the monthly meeting of the
Raritan Yacht Club last night, but no
definite action was taken. A commit
tee will look into the matter.
One new member WAS elected by the
local club last evening and much busi-
|ness of Importance was transacted.
Plans for the annual Labor Day cele-
bration, on Monday, September g.,
were begun and liberal appropriation
was made for the regatta committee
which is expeetedsto arrange series of
races. The entertainment committee
will prepare the social program includ-
ing dance in the evening.
Another of the summers fohnightly
dances will be held at the clnb house
tomorrow evening for members and
friends. 1t will be entirely informal.
Dancing will commence about clock
and dainty refreshments will be serv-
ed. There are assurances of large at
tendance.
The clambake next Thursday night,
August 10, at O'Clock, will be a great
affair. About seventy FIVE tickets have
been sold, and the committee is now
Iperfecting the plans. This will be one
of the banner events of the club g his
