DROPS PART OF NAME.
Mexican Ambassador Finds He Takes
Up Too Much Space.

Custom among Spanish-speaking peo-
pies has dictated that surnames be COM
posed of the family names of both IA

being addressed by ones mothers name.
which is written last, has led the New
Mexican ambassador to drop the final
name of his signature. He will be known
hereafter as Manuel de Zamacona instead
of Manuel de Zamacona o Lnclan.

Mr.. Brown continued by saying
the plaintiff had lost many friends,
and was injured In various other
ways, by the alleged SANDER Not

words on that day, but on other oc-
casions found vent to his feelings in
similar manner, IL was stated.

ness at that place. He said he Is SO

new YORK RIG
IS RECOVERED
Stolen from Gustavs Earnest
-.Found at Deans.

Valued at $500, horse and wagon,
identified by Gustave Earnest, Of 503
East 105th street, New York, as the
same stolen from him early last month,
was recovered yesterday from the farm
Of Charles Cohn, Deans, by co-operat-
ing police authorities. The farm was
visited In automobiles. In the party
were County Detectives Peltier and
Ferguson, Detective Sergeants Huff and
Long, Detective Herman Meyer, Of the
Bronx bureau, New York, Mr.. Ear
nest and others.
Mr.. Earnest had no difficulty in iden.
tifying his horse in the stable or his
wagon in the yard. Cohn, who is out
on $4,000 bail charged with horse
stealing, pretended much surprise upon
the turn Of events. He said he work
ed on the farm for another man and
did not know where the horse and
wagon came from.
Joseph Shnlman, Of 3S77 Third ave-
nue., New York, WAS in town yesterday
and gave the police some assistance, IN
regard to the possible location of three
horses stolen from this city some time
ago. Shulman was arrested Wednes-

ing stolen horses from this vicinity and
promised to give all the assistance pos
sible in locating the animals, if he

HALL PROPERTY
CHANGESHANDS
Joseph {. Stricken Secures
Valuable Wa'er Frontage.

Another important transaction in
real estate was effected last night when
Samuel Hall assigned to Joseph E.
Stricker his bid on the "Hall Lumber
Yard and Dock Property" in Front
and Water streets, this city, which was
sold at sheriff g sale in New Bruins
wick, Wednesday afternoon. The
property has been purchased by
Mr.. Strieker as an investment
The transfer of the valuable wa
ter front site last night to Mr.. Strick-
er was the elimination of an amicable
agreement between Mr.. Hall and his
son Roy S. Hall, who has held title
to the land for the past FIVE years.
The settlement was to the entire sat
the property is now free from all iti-
CATION.
Deal Closed Last Night.
Mr.. Hall and his son have been in q
legal battle over the land for several
years, but recently negotiations were
started for settlement whereby each
might benefit. The matter came to a
head yesterday and last night in Mr..
Stricken 8 office Mr.. Hall signed the
necessary documents in the presence of
his counsel George D. Hendrickson, of
Jersey City, who is the son of former
Supreme Court Justice Hendrickson.
Excellent Factory Site.
The property which Mr.. Stricken has
just acquired is considered one of the
most valuable parcels of water front ia
this city. 1t is located on the Staten
Island Sound and extends westerly
across Front street to Water street.
The tract is over so feet wide on the
water side and is over $50 feet in
length. 1t is admirably located for a
factory site as it has a large dock
which is on the deepest part of the
channel and furnishes fine facilities
for shipping purposes. There are also
number of buildings on the land. 1t
is in the heart of the shipping district
about 800 feet from the Staten Island
ferry and was used until year or so
ago for large lumber business.
Although Mr.. Stricker has purchas-
ed the tract as an investment it is
not likely that he will have it very
long, as water front property is great
ly in demand. Mr.. Stricken stated today
that he believed that within year or
so the property would greatly increase
in value. The past week has been a
record breaker for real estate deals,
nearly 100000 worth of property hav-
ing changed hands.

HIGH SCHOOL
WINS DEBATE
Again Defeat Chattls High
of Lsng Branch.

Perth Amboy High School again
defeated Chattle High School, of
Long Branch, last night, in the an
nual inter-sehool debate. The ar
gument which was held in Long
Branch was interesting throughout,
and the Judges reached a decision
quickly.
Taking the affirmative side on the
following subject, Resolved, that
immigration should be further re-
stricted," the locals developed sew
eral strong points, and were applaud
ed again and again for their master
ly oratory. The team was composed
of Barnet Browning, Captain; Hal
lem Skeen and Miss Cornelia L'Hom-
medieu, who captained last years s
team to victory over the same school.
Barnet Browning, First.
Browning, who was the first speak
er, had as his chief fact: That, Two
things attract the foreigner to this
country, first, attraction, and sec
ond, expulsion. The first being the
IS" sign, and the second, the over
population and enforced military SER
vice of their mother land
Skeen's best points were: That,
AAhlHA 81 anus idASc lAelT CUliOr6D IN
ignorance and filth; that in March,
1909, one hundred and thirteen
thousand came into this country, and
only ten thousand . were skilled la.
Dor. He finished up by proving that
the immigrant is harmful to indus
try. by the following facts: That
the majority are unskilled; that the
immigrant comes to this country
sometimes for mercenary purposes;
that the little demand for the large
amount coming In causes an overflow
and therefore poverty.
Miss L'Hommedieu's Points.
Miss l. Hommedieu was next and
her best points We're: That. that
one hundred and eighty crimes are
committed each year IN Chicago, and
two thousand in New York, by for
eigners; that of the three million
that came into this country between
the years of 1900 and 1908, only
twenty per cent took out naturaliza-
ton papers: and finally that there
are seven thousand paupers at pres
ent in this country who have come
by immigration.
Trip Made In Autos.
The team was escorted to Lone
Branch by large following, all go
ing In automobiles. Those of the
school faculty who went were: Pro
fessors Kieinhans, Sturgis and Hit
zelberg; and the Misses Vaughn and
Fletcher Mr.. Hitzelberg is entitled
to great credit for the coaching he
gave the team. George Miller acted
as the substitute.
