FOR IMPROVED
TRAIN SERVICE
Board of Trade Directors
Take Up the Matter of
Winter Schedule.
TELEGRAPH FACILITIES
Committee to Wait Upon
Governor Wilson to Bring
Him to This City.

The Board Of Directors of the
Perth Amboy Board of Trade, met
yesterday afternoon and instructed
Secretary Albert Leon to communi-
cate with the Central and the Penn
| sylvania Railroad Company relative
to conference with the local trade
| board for the purpose of discussing
the advisability of so arranging the
fall and winter schedules OF both
roads IN such a manner that this
city may be greatly benefited by the
change.
Local commuters state the train
service from this city, while very
good, can be improved upon and a
change in schedules would greatly
benefit the community, and the com
panies as we'll
Another matter brought to the at
tention of the directors yesterday af-
ternoon was the lack of efficient tel
egraph service to and from this city
at night. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company, before consolidating
with the telephone company, had
needed the local boards inquiries and
declared they would send a man to
this city for the sole purpose of look
Ing into the conditions and improv-
Ing the same If possible.
Since the consolidation the matter
has been dropped SO far as the tele-
graph company Is concerned, and the
directors instructed the secretary to
communicate with the company and
state that the local board will bring
the matter before the attention of the
Public Utilities Commission unless
better service Is provided immed-
lately. The existing conditions have
been lamented for some time.
A committee from the Board of
Directors will call upon Governor
Woodrow Wilson, at Trenton, in the
near future and endeavor to secure
the services of the states chief mag
istrate for an address to be delivered
before the trade board on a date to
be fixed by the governor. The com
mittee is now endeavoring to secure
an appointment with Governor Will
son, through his secretary, Joseph
P. Tumulty.
Secretary Leon was again instruct
ed to petition the Board of Aldermen
of this city, to further regulate the
farmers market for the. benefit of
directors have suggested H. the
market be closed at nine o'clock ev-
cry morning.
Eight applications for membership
in the Board Of Trade were faYorably
acted upon. The meeting was held in
the Board of Trades rooms in the
Scheuer building, in Smith street.

FIREMEN MUST
PAY THEIR FARE
City Attorney Hommann Gives
Written Opinion to Board
of Aldermen.
COMMISSION STATEMENT
Says Only Members of Paid
Department Are Included in
Ruling Of Board.
COMMISSION STATEMENT

That traction companies cannot
be compelled to carry members of
the volunteer fire department of this
city free of charge is the belief of
City Attorney c. c. Hommann.
Following request from officers
and members of the fire department
he rendered an opinion through the
Board of Aldermen which it received
in communication form last night
In 1t he set forth that the Board
Of Public Utilities Commission had
rendered a memorandum in which it
held that carrying policemen, fire.
rIearErs I'm rlfEs- lpsrIor Inatve OF tneir
public duties was not d violation
of the new law regarding the sub
ject, but he stated he did not : A3pi- .!gi-
that companies can be required to
ment.
The request of Chief P. J. Rocks,
together with other officers and
members of the department to the
Council for an opinion was dated
July p. Mr. Hommann's reply fol-
lows:
City Attorneys Letter.
"To the Honorable Board of Alder
men,
Perth Amboy, n. J.
"Gentlemen:-Se 23 of our
traction ordinance provides among
other things that all policemen and
paid firemen while on duty shall be
allowed to ride on its cars and of
It's lessees and assigns free Of
charge. AS We havs no paid fire
department, I do not think we have
paid firemen unless they be the few
salaried men who are employed in
the firehouses.
The Board of Public Utilities
Commission in memorandum
dated on the 2nd day of June, 1911,
made the following adjudication:
The board does not regard the free
transportation, without discrimina-
ton, on behalf OF municipalities of
policemen, fremen and inspectors OF
Boards of Health, in the perform
ance of their public duties as a vio-
latiOn of the provisions of Pamphlet
Laws of 1907, chapter 1875
They have further, in other deci-
sions which they have made since
that time, seemed to hold that
where the traction company was un-
der contract with a municipality tC
furnish free service that that was
not contrary to the present law; but
in the particular case in hand as
the traction company here is not
obligated to carry any f1remen, but
paid fremen, I do not think that they
can be required to carry the mem
bers of the volunteer fire depart
ment.
Yours respectfully,
&C. c. HOMMANN,
City Attorney"

Syracuse, Aug. 22.-Harry Atwood
arrived at Amboy, ten miles west of
this city, on his cross country flight
from st. Louis to New York. Twenty
five thousand persons were waiting to
greet him in the city, but the young
aviator merely turned OF his power
and dropped quietly into field where
not even lone farmer awaited. The
flight from Lyons covered about 100
miles.
At Auburn 10000 men and women
greeted Atwood at the grounds Of the
Owasco Golf and Country club. At
wood declared that the hardest part of
bis trip had been between Rochester
and his landing place. The constant
whirr of his motor bothered him
greatly.
For nearly an hour the Boston
aviator fiuttered about In his aero
plane over villages and farms in the
central part Of the state, wildly scan
ming the horizon in search Of Auburn.
Ordinarily the fight should have been
made in thirty minutes, but, losing his
course and not being familiar with this
part Of the country, Atwood had un-
told troubles. Instead of flying twenty
miles he probably wandered fifty be-
fore he finally landed in Auburn.

Beatt1e viii be the weak spot in the
case OF the prosecution, at which

of Virginias ablest lawyers, will aim
the big guns of their defense. The fact
as claimed that Paul did not tell the
whole truth in his story of buying for
Henry the second hand shotgun with
which the killing was done will form
the basis for the case of the defense
A Catholic priest may become the
lever with which the defense will try
to pry Henry Beatte loose from the
death clasp Of the electric chair. 1t
has become known that the day his
cousin was indicted Paul Beattie, who
is q Catholic, summoned a priest to his
cell in the Henrico county jail. Locked
in his bosom that priest carries the Sc
cret for which the attorneys for the
defense might give all the wealth they
could command.
The heavy pail of the confessional
surrounds the story that Paul Beattie
told the priest and it Is beyond the
pale Of the law.
But the lawyers for the defense may
call the confessor TO the stand and
place before the jury the moral effect
of the priests refusal to tell the story
related by Paul Beattie. The strength
of this course with jury Of farmers
can only be conjectured.

GIRLS IN THE CITIES.

Renewed warnings to parents in
all parts of the state are being given
by the state labor department. ..
Because of the present peculiar
condition of affairs in Minneapolis,
there probably is more pitfalls in the
Minnesota metropolis than any of
the other larger cities. On one day
of this week the judge of the munich
pal court at Minneapolis had before
him no less than thirteen girls, con-
nected in one way or another with
white slave" charges. The ages of
these gi1ls range from twelve to ff-
teen years. In the group was. a girl
from Northern Minnesota, while a
man from this part of the state also
was mixed in one of the affairs.
This is matter which should not
be passed lightly over by parents.
If their children must go to the big
towns, proper precautions to pre-
vent them from falling into the nets
of that class of creatures who glory
in depravity, with innocent children
as there most cherished victims.

SWlNDLiNG SCHOOL BOARDS.

For quite a time schools boards
of the country districts have been
preyed upon by INSCRIPTIONS persons
who, by unfair and often unlawful
means, have succeeded in unloading
expensive, unnecessary and unde-
pendable articles of school room
equipment. i
At the present moment number
of school districts in Ottertail county
are preparing to resist payment of
notes given during the past few
months for sets of maps that have
been sold to them by agents. Some.
thing like sixty districts bought the
maps, the school officers signing
what they presumed was an order
for them but which turns to have
been note for $4z5O, the price
asked for the set Of maps.
These notes are now in the hands
of Long Prairie bank and a Long
Prairie loan company, and these may
or may not be able to collect them
on the grounds that there we're mo-
cent purchasers.
The school districts are preparing
to resist payment on the ground
that the agents who sold the maps
are alleged to have represented that
they were recommended by the coun y
superintendent, and that unless
schools were equipped with them
they would be unable to secure state
aid. 1t is claimed that all these
representations were false and
fraudulent and the districts do not
propose to pay.
The unpleasant crisis in Ostertail
stands as good warning to school
officers in other parts of the state
Members of school are fast learning
that it is dangerous to. take the oral
word of an agent who attempts to
bring recommendation for purchases
from the county superintendent or
from other members of the board.
The county superintendent does
not usually care to have man who
has something to sell going about
the country using his Office as a
prestige with which to make sales.
If the county superintendent has
any recommendations to make he
usually makes them in a proper
way, either in person or by writing.
1t is to be hoped that the school
officers of Ottertail will win out in
their determination to resist the
conniving confident men, if confident
men they are proven to be.

For thirty-six hours, following the
appointment of Judge Bum of the
Ramsey county district bench to
succeed the late Justice Jaggard on

of Fred N. Dickson, the St. Paul

that he had named Mr.. Dickson

the association that he would bow
