council might take under considera-
ton the matter of laying an addi-
tional switch at Broadway and Main
street. Let the trolley company live
up to it's present obligations before
it undertakes to assume any more.
The question of fare was settled
when a previous franchise was grant
ed. This should not enter into the
present situation at all.
Also. if the Public Service can
make an arrangement with the Jer-
sey Central for the use of each others
tracks, it can make an arrange
ment to accept each others transfers
so that when a passenger reaches
Broadway and Main street, he can
board the first car that comes along
and not be compelled to wait for a
Public Service car.
Col. Gilmore talks about discontin-
uing the service between the two
Amboys. We believe that would be
a decided improvement. A car every
half hour across the bridge is fire.
quent enough at present and the
Jersey Central Traction Company,
with It's far superior rolling stock,
is able to furnish this. With cars
running every fifteen minutes on a
single track there is continual con-
gestion and a person loses more than
the extra fifteen minutes he would
have to wait on the half hour sched-
ule, in ding-donging along waiting
on switches and turnouts. 1t is far
better to run cars every half hour
and go right through than run them
every fifteen minutes and walt a half
HOuE On SWITCHES.
Then there is the matter of sprink-
ling the streets. Col. Gilmore
seemed to think the Public Service
is making a big concession in this
regard. But let the South Amboy
councilmen learn from tks expert
ence in Perth Amboy. 1t will be no.
ticed that Col. Gilmore spoke only
Of sprinkling the tracks. The col
onel Is a very clever man. He doubt
less meant just what he said. The
Public Service is supposed to sprinkle
the streets in Perth Amboy, too.
This year, however, it had the
sprinkling car changed so that it
throws a stream of water only on the
trolley tracks, leaving both sides of
the track as dusty as ever. The re-
suit is the city has had to get its
own sprinkling carts out to lay the
dust along Smith and State streets
the same as if the trolley sprinkler
did not run. Doubtless this is the
kind of sprinkling South Amboy
will get once that switch at Broad
way and Main street is laid, unless
the city fathers across the river are

Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-05-12

AS far as We can see, the Public
Service wants to build a switch at
Broadway and Main street in South
Amboy. It has asked permission to
build this switch and, in exchange
for the privilege, it agrees to live
up to the provisions of a franchise
previously granted.
Plainly speaking, the Public Ser
vice is trying to hand the city of
South >Amboy a lemon. Will South
Amboy accept it?

s2s,ooo,ooo SHOE MERGER.
International Co, Incorporated, OF St.
Louis

Jefferson City, Mo, Dec 29.--The In
ternational Shoe company of st. Louis
having capital stock OF $25, 100000, has
been granted a charter by the secretary
of state. This is the largest business
corporation ever Incorporated in the
state The Incorporation fee paid was
Sl2,527.5O. This company is con-
solidation of the interests of the Rob
erts Johnson & Rand Shoe company and
the Peter Shoe company Of st. Louis and
a number of companies scattered over
Missouri and Illinois owned by them.
A feature of the articles of incor-
poration is a provision under which the
company is authorized to manufacture
its own machinery. Presumably this
was put in the articles to permit the
company to escape what shoe firms claim
il a monopoly on the part of interests
that manufacture machinery for carry
ing on the boot and shoe business.
The bulk of the property owned by
the company is in st. Louis. but shoe
factories at Hannibal, St Charles, Jeffer-
son City, Hermann, Cape Giarardeau,
Washington and Desoto, all in Mis-
souri,. and at Jerseyville, Springfield and
Belleville, az! in Illinois, are included.

ever, had almost the same proportion.
namely, 34l.l per 100000 people.
There is no doubt, Mr.. Duraund says,
that in these states better provision il
made for the care of insane institu
tions than in most of the other states
The insane confined in institutions in
any state are by no means drawn ex.
clusiyely from the population Of that
state. The institutions in Massachu.
sets, especially the private institutions,
receive many insane patients from other
New England states, and the institu-
tons in New York similarly receive
many patients from outside that state.
The District OF Columbia, which far
outranks both New York and Massa
chusetts in the proportion Of number
of insane persons in institutions, pre-
sents conditions more analogous to these
Of a city than those Of state, and il
the location Of the government hos
rital for the insane. which draws its
patients from a much wider area than
the district
Connecticut ranks third, where there
are 32l crazy people in institutions for
each 100000 Of population.

CENSUS SHOWS BIG

Washington, Dee. 20 Tnsi{nity in the

TARIFF BOARD REPORT

Washington, Dec. 29.-There win be
a mll in Democratic wool tariff making
for at least week. Chairman Under
wood of the committee on ways aud
means returned to the city yesterday
and announced that he would shut him
self up with the tariff boards report to-
day and dig into its tables, charts and

think that his party will for a moment
consider the proposition of free wool
unless In the extraordinary contingency
of discovering unexpected facts in the
mass of data submitted by the presi-
dents experts The Bryan men may
again raise the same cry which they
raised last summer, but there will be
practically no chance Of sympathetic re-
Spouse from anyone.
Mr.. Underwood said the first tariff
legislation to be taken up by the House
would be the steel schedule. The COM

ROOSEVELT TELLS
WHAT A liar" is
Defines His Use of the Word and Makes
New Attack on the Evening
Post.

New York, Dec. 29.-This query was
put to Col. Roosevelt Wednesday:
SIS it true that the provocation for
the publication of your correspondence
with Treasurer George R. Sheldon Of
the Republican national committee was
information conveyed to you that mem
oirs of Hartman were about to be is
sued and you desired to forestall them ?"
Roosevelt fumed and retorted: "The
man who told you that story is a -
liar"
"You have recently called practically
everybody liar!"
The colonel waxed even angrier and
responded: 81 have been greatly mis-
understood as TO what / mean when |
call a man q liar.
"a liar is not necessarily man who
merely tells an untrnth NV defni-
ton of liar is that be is a man who
deliberately invents and circulates a
falsehood. That is the kind of liar
the man is who circulated the story we
are discussing"
Col. Roosevelt Wednesday issued an
other attack upon the Evening Post.
In dictated statement, which he
called upon several to witness, the coll
onel said, in part:
"Mr. Sheldon stated the exact fact
that our memories were in agreement as
to the transaction. In endeavorihg to
back up its false statement that I had
contradicted Mr.. Sheldon, or, in its own
pbraseology, had put him in the Ana
MAS club The Post thus was guilty of
what it at the time knew to be a de-
liberate and wilful untruth.
But it was an objectionable piece of
moral obliquity on the part of the Even
ing Post, and, I am sorry to say,
Characteristic piece Of moral obliquity,
to suppress this statement in order to
work deception and create the belief by
its own statements and headlines that
there was an issue of veracity between
Mr.. Sheldon and myself"

TAFT PLANS TO EXTEND OHIO TRIP
ia Toilette Invasion" Said to Be Help
ing President in His Home State.

Washington, Dec 80. President Taft
has decided to extend his trip in Ohio
next month further than was eontem-
plated in the original program. SEN
ator La Toilette is now campaigning
there and some of Mr.. Tafts friends
profess to see a political significance in
the announcement yesterday that his
trip has been enlarged.
As now planned, President Taft will
be in Ohio from Jan. % to Jan. 81, will
visit Cleveland, Columbus and Akron,
and deliver probably more than half
dozen speeches.
Some significance is attached to the
Presidents plan to speak in Ohio by the
fact that he has twice changed the date
Of his annual dinner to the justices of
the supreme court il order to keep
the Ohio engagements
The dinner was first set for Jan. 30;
It was later changed to Jan. 81, and
with the addition Of engagements in
Ohio it has finally been changed to Feb.

The astounding revelations of the customs department of New York, startling and sensational, will make the country sit up and take notice. Men and women who should be, like Caesars wife, above reproach, caught in the dragnet and entangled in the most audacious and fraudulent prac- tices. smuggling into the country wares and wearables, invoked greatly below their proper valuation, have brought the blush of shame to the na- tives and the nation, and they should be held up as horrible examples to tho rest of tho republic Buncoing the government has como to be q flne art with dishonest importers and the ras- cally rich, aided and abettcd by a bunch of crooks in tho customs de- partment, and between the combina- tion the government has been filched out Of millions of it's money and the most shameless debauc4fery of law ever enacted was recorded.

Two Routes to tho West.

The assurance by the Grand Trunk officials that the contest with the Bos- ton & Maine in Brattleboro will not interfere with the extensions from Palmer to Providence is gratifying. The modified bill now before the Yer mont legislature gives the Boston & Maine station privileges in Brattleboro prevent anyp roposed track exten- sions. The original impudent request to oust the Grand Trunk altogether hss been properly denled: even per- niciously active lobby could not in duce acqufescence in a scheme of con- fscation- New England will continue to have a choice between two routes to the west and to enjoy the other ad- yantagcs of competition.
