is PURCHASED
P. A. Company Makes Big
Addition--A,,rive Shortly.

A large floating dry dock is TO be
added to the equipment Of the Perth
Amboy Dry Dock Company at the
foot of Broad street, which will add
approximately 800, 900 to the inter
ests of the concern. With the addi-
tional dock in place, the company
will have an equipment of four docks
making 1t second to none in these
parts. 1t will be in a position to
handle the largest kinds of ships that
enter the port and will be prepared
to handle a much larger percentage
Of work than 1t does now.
The dock will be set In place in
about two weeks. 1t was built last
year for the William Rankin Dry
Dock Company, whose headquarters
are on Staten Island and was pur-
chased from that concern by the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company,
the former concern intending to
change its business. 1t is 204 feet
long over all and sixty-six feet wide.
1t is capable of making a haul of
nineteen feet over the keel blocks and
contains sixteen 14x14 inch pumps.
1t is ffty-one feet wide between the
wings.
The addition of this huge piece of
work to the large equipment of the
company will make it big enough to
handle any Of the vessels usually
brought into this port for repairs.
The apparatus will be located south
of the present line of dry docks.

Chauffeur and Heiress Bride
Found in Springfield.

Springfield, Mass, Aug. 11.-Mr.
and Mrs. John Paul Edward Geraghty
he who was just plain Jack Ger
agility, the chauffeur, and she who
was the Newport debutante and heir
ess-were found in this city. They are
well and happy and both scott at any
possibility Of their romance suffering
ruds interruption of any kind, to say
nothing Of any proceedings being In.
stituted looking toward an annulment.
Mrs. Geraghty points out that she was
of age, in the full possession of her
faculties and that the only element of
responsibility for the elopement was
their mutual love.
Geraghty and his bride, who was
Miss Julia Estelle French, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Tuck French OF
Newport and New York, and a niece
of Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbilt, were
5ubflant over the fact that they had
eluded the efforts of six detectives
employed by the heiress' family to
trace and bring her back to her home,
1t was a grocer Of Worcester who
picked up the trail that all the detec-
tives had failed to find. He observed
a young couple alight from a train at
Worcester from Providence. The
grocer said that the young couples
actions were so strikingly affectionate
and devoted that he watched them for
fully fifteen minutes. The idea came
to him that they were the runaway
chauffeur and heiress. He communi-
Gated his notion to the conductor OF
the train for Springfield when he saw
the young man and woman get aboard
1t and the conductor watched them
alight at Springfield, where they

Newport, R. l., Aug. lit Is be-
lieved here that n idea of pursuing
young Geraghty and his bride has
been abandoned and that she is being
left to herself in the expectation that
she will be heard from In a few days.
1t Is not believed hat either she or
her new husband has any money to
speak of, and he has no Job at pres
ent. In view Of this and the proba-
bility that they did not have much
money to start with, Miss French's
early request for help is confidently
looked for.

Members of Kenosha Council
K. of G. spend Sunday
at Silver Lake
GOOD CROWD IN ATTENDANCE

Sunday was red letter day for the
members of the Kenosha Council of
the Knights of Columbus for more than
two hundred of the knights and their
friends went out to Silver Lake to at
tend the annual outing of the council.
It was a great day and special train
lof six coaches was loaded down with
the Knights. Every arrangement had
been mace for the comfort and pleas
ure of the members of the party and
the success of the day was even great
Ter than had been anticipated by the
members of the committee in charge
The members of the party went to
Peck IS crossing where they were met
with hay racks and other conveyances
and taken to the lake and the ride was
one of the features of the day.. At
noon there were scores of basket pic
mics all about the lake while many of
the members of the party took to the
boats and went to remote spots along
the lake where the lunch was spread
for little parties of four or five. There
was no speech making during the day,
but for the afternoon a splendid pro-
gram of athletic sports was arranged
and there was amusement for the old
men and matrons, young men and
maldens and the children who were out
! in force were not overlooked.
The program for the afternoon clos
ed with a game of baseball between
the married men and the single men
which was won by the former by a
score of 8 to z. The single men, how
ever, claim that the victors got the
victory by fraud as Umpire Murphy,
who was married man, decided
against them on. every possible chance.
The umpire was lucky to escape with
out being lynehed as the single men
were very much In the majority.

State Veterinarian Plans to
Continue the War on
Diseased Cattle
COMPETENT MEN TEST CATTLE

A systematic campaign for the eradi-
cation of tuberculosis from the dairy
and beef herd of Wisconsin is con-
templated by State Veterinarian H. A.
Hartwig. No longer will the admins
tration of tuberculin test be authorized
by the department., except at the hands
of qualified persons. To get at the
source of contamination as we'll as. to
get rid of responding individuals in the
herd will be the aim of the department
in its future work and to this end he
plans to locate a deputy OF. the depart
ment in every part of the state. A
searching civil service examination is
to be first held to determine the fitness
of candidates for permission to admin
lister the test. Then instructions Will
be given that when herds are found to
be infected a. clinical examination of
the individuals of the herd shall be
made by competent veterinarian to
discover any chronic cases therein.
The new tuberculin law, DR.. Hartwig
thinks, will prove more satisfactory
than the former regulation in that
while it does not make the test com
pulsory it offers to the owner greater
inducement to cooperate with the de-
partment. The maximum compensation
for condemned animals is raised from
$50 to $50.
Then, too, the doctor said that it
would be the aim of the department to
protect owners from needless sacrifice
of valuable animals.
DR.. Hartwig further explained that
while the law provides an increased
compensation for slaughtered animals at
present, all compensation is to cease
after July /, 1913. This will tend to
put the herd owner on his guard. This
will tend to cooperation on the part
of owners and as soon as cool weather
comes the doctor expects q lively cam
paign.

KICK ON RELEASE OF dodge

The city council by a unanimous
vote refused to censure the police de-
partment on. Monday night when a COM
munication from M. Rosenbloom was
sent to the council charging the police
officials with lax methods in dealing
with Charley Dodge, who had been ar
rested in the junk yard of the COM
plainant q week ago. In the communi-
cation it was declared that Dodge had
been arrested on 81 charge Of attempted
burglary and that he was released with
out hearing by the police and without.
the members of the Rosenbloom fami-
ly being given any notice of the time
|set for the hearing in the municipal
court.
An examination showed that Dodge
had been picked up in the yards of
the Rosenbloom company and that at.
the time he was carrying piece of
iron pipe. Chief O'Hare released the
man on bond Of $500 and on the fol-
lowing day after an investigation of.
the facts Dodge went before Judge
Randall and pleaded guilty to a charge.
of disturbance and paid fine of So.
and costs. The chief of police thought
that this action was all that the facts,
demanded. The Rosenblooms held that
they were ready to prosecute, Dodge
for attempted burglary and roundly
scored the police department for dis
charging him. The city attorney adj
vised Rosenbloom and his son that the.
complaint should be made to the dis
trict attorney and that they could
start the prosecution any time they
saw fit. When the matter was finally
taken to a vote the council voted unani-
mously to sustain the police depart
ment and the communication was laid
on the table. 1t is probable that the
district attorney will be asked to in
vestigate the criminal charge against
Dodge and he may be arrested and
tried on the charge of attempted burg
larry. The police declared that the
facts in, The case would not have war

charge.
