SHADE TREE BOARD
IN NEED OF $1,000

An official Communication was re-
ceived by the Board of Aldermen
last night from Mayor Bollsch weller
stating that he had appointed a new
shade tree commission as follows:
John G. Donehue, for q term Of ave
years; Matt Weirup, for a term of
four years. and John Kutcher. for a
term of three years. Alderman-at-
Large Voorhees, stated that IL was
not necessary for the board to con-
firm the appointments, SO the docu-
ment was ordered received and filed.
That the new commissioners are
likely to prove more active than their
predecessors was evidenced by q doc
ument from the appointees which
was referred to the committee of the
whole after 1t had been read by City
Clerk LaRoe during the meeting. In
their communication to the council
the members of the commission
stated that they were willing to give
active service but that In order to
carry out Improvements that were
necessary they would need funds
snG retitioned the council to appro-
pirate $1,000 for that purpose.
The letter from the new commits
sion, in full, follows:
Perth Amboy, N. j., Mar. 21, 1910.
ITO the Honorable Board of Alder
men Of Perth Amboy, N. J.
Gentlemen
I'VE have been advised of our
appointment as shade tree commits
sioners and hereby signify our will
ingness to serve the city in such
capacity, but we desire at the time OF
our acceptance to advise you that the
trees of our city are in very bad
condition and that the work neces-
sary to be done to remedy this con-
dition, disposing of trees that are
unfit to stand and properly caring
for those that are good, will entail
an expense which we estimate to be
at least $1,000.
We are aware that other boards
have been appointed before us and
that they have been unable to ac-
complish any good, largely because
of lack of funds, and think 1t needs
no argument to convince you that
some money is necessary in this
fund
Hoping that you will see your
way clear to appropriate a sufficient
amount, as suggested above, for the
proper caring for the beautiful trees
we have.
1--WE shall do our part to render
our city more beautiful.
Yours respectfully,
MATT WEIRUP,
JOHN KUTCHER,
]. c. DONEHUE."

BRAKEMAN HAS
A CLOSE CALL

Forgetfulness nearly caused the
death last night of Walter Rose,
twenty-three years old, brakeman
on the Lehigh Valley railroad. He
forgot that a low coal chute was
located over certain track on the
stock ground, and did not think to
duck when the chute was ap-
preached. But for the observance of
Michael Quirk, of Cortlandt street,
who partially pulled Rose down in
time, he might have been killed. As
it was, he received a severe scalp
wound which required the attention
of DR.. G. w. Tyrell.

SENATOR SILzER WILL
VOTE FOR MORAN BILL

A reply from Senator George S.
6ilzer to resolution passed by the
Board Of Aldermen on February 21st,
relative to the McCran bill to pre-
vent water companies from dispos-
ing Of underground waters to neigh
boring states, was received at the
council meeting last night. Mr.. Sill
ger acknowledges receipt of the res
munication that he will cheerfully
protect the city of Perth Amboy in
the matter
The passage Of the resolution in
question was the outcome of the fact
that the aldermen had been apprised
that bill had been introduced in
the legislature for the purpose of
preventing water companies to ac-
Quire the underground waters of this
state and dispose of them to neigh
boring states. The document pro-
vided that the senator and assembly
men of this county inform them
selves what effect, If any, this bill
will have on Perth Amboy's water
supply.
Senator Silzer's reply was read
and a vote of thanks was accorded
him. The communication was as
follows:
ITO Common Council,
"City of Perth Amboy,
"Gentlemen:-
Il am in receipt Of resolution Of
Common Council, calling my atten-
tfon to bill introduced in the Legis-
lature for the purpose Of preventing
water companies of this state dispos-
ing of underground waters to neigh
boring states.
Il have had a talk with your City
Attorney, who thinks that there Is
a possibility of injury to the City of
Perth Amboy If this bill does not be-
come law in that water companies
surrounding the plant of the City
of Perth Amboy might be enabled to
take their water to Staten Island
and thus deplete the supply Of the
city.
'If this would be the effect, i
think it my clear duty to vote for
the McCran bill and thus protect the
City of Perth Amboy, which l will
cheerfully do.
very truly yours,
GEORGE S. SILZER.'

1T WAS A GALA DAY
AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Foremost Feature Of Taft's First New Years Reception
Was That Genial Smile.

ped to the right and formed part
of the receiving line. Then began the
brilliant formal reception of the dip
lomatic corps, the "elite" of official
life.
only one thing that has charac-
terized White House New Years re-
ceptions in the past was lacking.
That was the gathering of specially
invited guests who in former admin
istrations crowded the Blue Room.
The sole permanent occupants OF the
room today were President Taft and
his official family. Mrs. Tafts
healla has forced the curtailment of
social festivities at the White House,
and it was thought best to conserve
har strength on this occasion by
omitting the personal guests.
A gorgeous procession of diplomats
clad in the brilliant panoply of the
court costumes of their various ma
tions, was the spectacle of the oc-
casion. Led by the Italian ambassa-
dor, Baron Mayor des Planches, the
dean of the diplomatic corps by
virtue Of his length of service here
in Washington, and followed by the
entire body of accredited foreign rep
resentatives, ambassadors first, then
ministers, and both arranged accord
ing to length of service-the newest
ambassadors and ministers last in the
procession of their rank-they en-
tered from the south door of the
mansion, and with great formality
made their way to the host and host
ess. With each ambassador were the
members of his suite and their
wives.
At the rear of the ambassadorial
procession came the brilliant suite
of Baron Yasuya Uchida, the new
Japanese Ambassador, who arrived
in Washington little more than a
week ago.
Two of the new ambassadors

and Senor de la Barra, of Mexico
were absent They were represent

ed by the charges d'affaires of their
respective Embassies.
The ministerial parade was led
by the representative from Costa
Rica, Senor Calvo. Chang Yin
Tang, the new Chinese Minister, was
officially received only about a
week ago, and he was the last of
the diplomats, but the brilliant
Oriental appearance of his train
more than made up for the rear end
position. The other new diplomats
of ministerial rank attending their
first New Years reception were
Mr.. Sannon, from Hayti; General
Velez, from Cuba; Senior Rojas,
from Venezuela; Mr.. Coromilas,
from Greece; the Marquis of Villa
lobar, from Spain; Senor Joubert,
from the Dominion Republic, and
Count de Buisseret, from Belgium
the latter with a bow of crepe in
stead of a gold sword knot, the Off

sovereign, King Leopold.
When the gaily apparelled diplo-
mats had filed past the receiving
line, and had been cordially greeted,
the venerable Chief Justice Fuller,
led by the Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court and other members
of the judiciary. Then came former
cabinet members, United States AM
bassadors and Ministers, and mem
bers of congress. There were but
few of the latter, the holiday season
having sent most of them to their
homes.
The buglers sounded another
call, and Representatives of the ar
my and navy filed into the room.
Decked out in all the glory of full
dress uniforms, the military and ma
val officers made a brilliant show

formed visitors. The assemblage
took on a more subdued appearance
as they departed.
They were Immediately followed
by the civilian officials of the gov
ernment and representatives of var
ious organizations, as follows:
Regents and secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, Civil Ser
vice Commission, Interstate Com
merce Commission, Isthmian Canal
Commission, Commissioners of the
District of Columbia, assistant Sec
retaries of the departments, the
Solicitor General assistant attor-
neys general, assistant postmasters
general, Treasurer of the United
States, Librarian of Congress, Pub
lie Printer, heads of Bureaus, Pres
ident of the Columbia Institution,
Society of the Cincinnati, and 4
score of other minor organizations.
Then there was pause. Mrs.
IalC ana IHe ldulSb VI IllC Oe'DlhCI
departed for the refreshments
which the hostess always serves on
New Years Day, to the wives Of
the Cabinet members. The Presi-
dent extended his smile little
more, the cabinet members braced
themselves, and the Common People
were given chance.
There was no gorgeous display to
greet the throng that came through.
There was only that "jolly goodfel-
low smile and the man behind it
down at the south end of the Blue
Room. There was no Rooseveltarian
hurry about the process. Everyone
had time to say, Happy New Year,
Mr.. President" and to receive Il
calm, dignified handshake, and a
word of greeting in return.

washington, January The ex-
pansive Taft smile overflowed its
usual boundaries today and en-
braced the world.
The occasion was the first annual
New Years Day reception OF the
new administration. The big, broad
Taft personality reached out and
gathered to it's kindly presence thou
sands-from the courtly members of
the diplomatic corps to the plainest
of the plain people
1t was open house" at the presi
Dental abode, with Citizen and Cit
izeness Taft as host and hostess.
Long before the White House
doors we're unlatched the crowds be-
gan to assemble in the presidents
front yard. It was a motley gather
ing that had come to wish big Bill"
a happy New Year and shake his
hand in greeting. Young and old
chatted in the line. Fur-lined over
coats rubbed elbows with garments
that we're shabby and thin. Vener-
able graybcards young bloods, timid
maids and matrons of poise huddled
together in a heterogeneous American
multitude.
While the Great American People
were aligning themselves in a snaky
column that filled the yard and ex-
tended for blocks up Pennsylvania
avenue, their high-prlced servant was
doing his duty as the head of great
world power, greeting the represen-
tatives of the other world powers
with words of cordiality and regard.
AS the great hall clock in the
White House doomed out eleven and
four buglers stepped from the band
and sounded the presidential fanfare,
the executive and Mrs. Taft left the
family apartments on the main floor
and started down the great main
staircase. With the vlce-president
and Mrs. Sherman and the cabinet
members and their wives, they took
up their position at the southern end
of the Blue Room. The ladies step

the presidential handshake and
smile.
But for everybody-from the man
of the diplomatic corps to the plain
est citizen in the line-the foremost
feature of the occasion, the distin-
gushing mark of the first Taft New
Years Day reception, was the broad,
genial Taft smile. 1t seemed to i'm
bue the entire gathering with
spirit of good fellowship. Coldly
formal foreign diplomats thawed out
and became amiable under its infiu-
ence. 1t made everyone smile in
return. Timid citizens who entered
the White House diffdently were at
their ease as soon as the Taft smile
appeared on the horizon.
Gorgeously arrayed diplomats
came and went; somber judges pas
sed smart army officers strobe by;
plain American citizens hurried
through; but solid and stationaly,
on constant duty, expressing greeting
and farewell until the last of The
Common people had fled ont, was
the "jolly good fellow Taft smile.
