The Indians that surrendered with
Geronimo have PROBABLY never been
matched since the days Of Robin Hood.
Many of the warriors were outlaws
from their own tribes. and their boys of
from twelve to eighteen were the very
worst and most vicious of all. Many
of the latter were afterward sent to
the Carlisle school and their improve
ment was very marked and of a per-
manent character.
Captain Leonard Wood. who has
since as general achieved such re-
nown in the Philippines and as Gov
ernor of Cuba, is deserving of most
onimos band. 1t was he who effected
the surprise of the camp of Geronimo
and Natchez. on July Is, 1887, which
eventually led to the surrender. Cap
tain Lawton is also entitled to praise
for the persistence with which he and
his men followed the Apaches and the
diplomacy with which he arranged
for Geronimo's surrender. 1t was he
who told me that Geronimo would
surrender only to me. 1 informed him
that | did not want to go Gown to
his camp at Skeleton Canyon and
meet Geronimo unless the Indians
gave me some assurance of their pur-
pose to surrender. l stated to him
that the best thing for them to do was
to send some hostage as guarantee
to their intention On receiving this
message. Geronimo sent his own
brother to Fort Bowie to remain there

An OCEAN BOULEVARD
Parkway 126 Miles Long from
Atlantic Highlands to
Cape May.
MAPS HAVE BEEN PREPARED

Suggested by Governor Fort. w
New Jersey. at q dinner given in his
honor las, September. preparations
are being made to launch In the New
Jersey legislature the scheme for an
ocean boulevard. designed to extend
from the Atlantic Highlands to Cape
May.
Ii is estimated that the cost Of this
boulevard. which will be virtually 1e6
miles of parkway. will be less than
$500. 900. and that n part of the pro
ceeds from the automobile license
fund can be used to bear the expense.

thing directly.

T. Frank Appleby. mayor OF Asbury
Park. as chairman and the work OF
preparing plans. eskimates and maps
has been pushed 50 rapidly and thor
oughly that II Is hoped to present the
entire matter TO the Legislature with
in a very short time.
This ocean boulevard will. for all
practical purposes. connect Philadel-
phia with New York city. The entire
length OF the new highway could be
travelled from Atlantic Highlands To
Cape May. from which point there
are good roads leading to Philadelphia
and a new state highway In course OF
construction.
shorter route than this would be
from the main ocean boulevard owe:
roads from Bayville and Toms River
and thence by way of Mount Holly.
Moorest0wn and Camden across the
center of the state.
In conjunction with the making Of
the boulevard. 1t Is planned to have
New Jersey take over all of the county
roads and put them In such condition
that there would be q continuous high
way from one county seat to another
all over the state. The state would
look after the repairs to the roads and
boulevard. and the increased revenues
resulting from the advance In prop
erty values and the largo additions
to the automobile license fund would,
it is said, more than pay for the main
tenance. 1t is estimated that repairs
would cost not more than $500 . mile
each year. which would make the an.
nual expense 1851 900.
But little work would Be necessary
to make the ocean boulevard an &C
complished fact. From Atlantic High
lands to Ocean Grove there II already
an excellent highway. At the latter
place the church corporation hssitates
to give a right Of way through its
property. but 1t is expected this diffi-
Guilty will be overcome. From Ocean
Grove until Shark beach Is reached
there are no obstacles. but 1t that
point bridge will have to be con-
structed. At Sea Girt the road will
have to go inland for . distance. 1t
will reach the ocean front again ut
Bayhead. At Tuckerton the road will
lAgain extend inland and come out at
Absecon. 1t viii then run to Somers
Point and follow the state road to
Cape May.
A mass meeting Of all the citizens
directly interested In the project will
be held this week at Newark. n. J. At
that time members Of the legislature
will be present and they will be urg-
ed to see that immediate steps arc
taken to make the building Of the
