WANT COMPANY
NATL. GUARD
Mayor Is interested -Appli-
cation to 30 Made.

That Perth Amboy should have 8
national guard company Is the feel
ing OF many of the martially inclined
local people and 1t Is believed that
with comparatively little effort this
city could organize a company upon
the first vacancy In the guard. 1t
would be necessary, however, for an
application to be made before the
national guard officials to have 1t
favorably acted upon. and this appli-
cation a be made by any body of
reliable citizens.
Mayor Bollschweiler, as a former
army man, looks upon the PROPOSE
ton with favor and II desired, Is
ready to use his influence with Brig
adler General Dennis f. Collins. Of
the Second Brigade, OF which divfs-
ion Perth Amboy, IL 1t formed q
company, would be a part.
There Is local interest in National
guard work as mey-be seen from the
fact th~attEe-nksA from this city 70
70 PAinneid ono Might each week for
drill with that company and the
captain Of thu company, Harry p.
Kftche4I, is connected with the New
York Telephone Company, In this
city, as wire chief. There are also
two local men with enough interest
in the work to go UP to New Bruins
wick every week to drill with that
company.
1t is understood that Brigadfer
General Collins would like to see 4
company of state militia here and
would use all possible influence In
this direction should n proposition
OF assigning another company come
up. The matter would rest largely
with the regimental cclonels, how
ever.
Mayor Bollschweiler said today
that he regards army training ideal
for the physical and mental develop
ment of the individual. 1t increases
patriotism and manlfness and he
would like to e such an organiza-
ton In this city.

Ing books to be taken away from,

The issue Of special cards to

lege OF taking out at one time as
many books az they desire for their

ChiIdren's Room.
AS previously stated the work OF
this department shows most eneour-
aging results. The total circulation
was 21.100, an increase of 2,544
over 1903.
Holidays and anniversaries of the
year have been observed as usual by
the posting OF pictures and the get
ting together Of reference material
pertaining to the subject.
From time to time special exhibits
have been held. A display OF some
work In sewing done In the schools
aroused great interest among the
children, while the Annual Christ
mas Book Exhibit was enjoyed quite
as much by them AZ by the older
people.
Many of the children who use the
room most constantly are 80 small

Easy books" and q new section Of
shelving has been put in the room
for this purpose, but the books are
SO popular that shelves for them
seem hardly necessary.
Up to the present time, except at
school time. the children have been
free to use the room at any hour of
the twelve that the library il open.
Beginning next month, / think, it
would be q wise plan to close this
department every evening at 8
o'clock. The children should really
be In their homes by that time and
the extra hour would give the per-
son In charge an opportunity to put
the books there in order.

AS this room n free to all visitors
and no foFmalitfes are observed In

by statistics 1t Is evident, however,
that the possibilities Of this depart.

tion bureau and q study room, are
being appreciated more and more By
students OF tho high school and
other schools. by club members,
all sorts. That this use is real and
not a matter of theory may. perhaps,
be most practically illustrated by a
few of the questions asked and an

Namara rented a stable in which De-
tective Burns found a stock of dyna-
mite
He is a member of the Iron Work

that Mcnamara, knowing that he had
a stable and that he was not keeping
a horse, asked if he could rent it, as
he wished to store some old papers.
Jones rented the stable to him, he
said, and gave him the key.
He said he was not in the stable
after Mcnamara rented it and did not
know that dynamite had been stored
IN it until it was discovered there by
the detectives. He gave the jury a
detailed description of the men who
accompanied Mcnamara to the stable
from time to time, but he could not
remember the dates of the visits, as
there had been nothing in connection
with them to make an impression.
He said he noticed that on each visit
one of the men carried suitcase, but
he supposed that he was either bring
ing some additional records or taking
