More than 600 automobiles came
over the sound on the ferryboat

Rapid Transit Railroad Company
from Staten Island Saturday and
Sunday. There were 400 alone on
Saturday which kept the ferrytoat

waiting in Bentley street, Totem

.Iy to Amboy avenue in that place
across the sound. Superintendent

many as eighteen machines were

mand for another boat TO carry the

felt want. Many of these machines
went down along the coast TO spend

row.

JERSEYMAN TO
HAVANA POST
President Taft Names C. D.
MhIts of Summit.
fFr0m ne VIZ correspondent.l


Washington, July 3;-What is
probably the most important appoint
ment of a New Jersey man this year
was Friday forwarded by President
Taft to the senate for confirmation.
1t is the promotion of Mr.. Charles T.
White, of Summit, New Jersey, Mt
present Secretary to the Legation at
Havana, Cuba, at which Mr.. John B.

After successfully passing the re-
CURED examinations, he entered the
diplomatic service IN 1904 as a secre-
tary to the United States legation at
Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic.
He was afterward transferred to a
secretaryship in the legation at Hol-
land, and then to Christiania, Swe-
den.
While at present secretary under
Minister Jackson, Mr.. White will, If
his appointment Is confirmed by the
senate, become a minister to Hon
duras, now one Of the most important

METUCHEN HAS
POLICE TROUBLE
People Want Some Way of
Registering the Officers.
Special To NE EVENING NEWS.

Metuchen, July 3:-The regular
meeting of the common council will
occur this evening and from indi-
cations of the last few weeks It is
likely to prove interesting. The bone
of contention IN Metuchen nowadays
seems to be the reorganization Of
the police department. Councilman
Edward Kramer agrees with a large
per centage of citizens that the pres
ent police department is costing a
lot OF money and there seems to be
a sentiment growing stronger every
day that drastic changes should be
made in the present system. The
matter of police patrolling is being
discussed and 1t is claimed by some
officials that there is absolutely no
systematic way Of telling whether
the police cover their full beats reg
ularly Or not. A writer in the Me-
tuchen Recorder of Saturday says
the present scheme is for the police
to call at the home of one of the
counctlmen each evening and Sign
on" After this there appears to be
no way of regulating the force and
it is understood that the men do not
report off duty but simply turn
III dDOut 4 d. IN. Inc same writer
argues that under existing condi-
tions only a very small portion OF
the borough is policed and that is
the immediate vicinity of the rail-
road station. Although the railroad
company is paying a night watch
mar $50 monthly to watch" Me-
tuchen is also paying considerable
for watching the same thing as there
are nearly always two and some
times three officers at the station
nights when the trains arrive. To
correct this it is proposed to install
a system of time deteetors, and it Is
said that several firms in the BUSH
have been comforting with the Dor
ough officials about the matter. One
concern had a man here to-day
planning a system. Councilmen
Kramer and LaForge early IN the
went on record as being op-
posed to extravaganza in the police
department and Councilman John
son is a thorough believer in run
ming every department of the Dor
ough in a business-ltke manner.
Councilman Ford usually agrees with
Mr.. Johnson.
