CONVICTED MEN
 ASK FOR REVIEW

Washington, January 4.-Officials of the American Naval Stores company to- day filed a petition on the supreme court of the United States for a review of their conviction in the federal cir cult court of Georgia of violating the sherman antitrust law.
 With the atmosphere around the court already surcharged with legal lore regarding the sufficiency Of tie sherman anti-trpst law as civil mea~- ure to authorize the dissolution of the Standard Oil and of the American To- bacco corporations, the question of its sufficiency as a penal measure to send alleged violators to Jail became the ab- sorbing topic of conversation among lawyers waiting for the dissolution cases to be argued.
 The officials convicted were Edmund Nash, president of the American Naval Stores company Spencer P. Shotter, chairman of the board of directors; J. s. Cooper Myers. vice president; George Meade Boardman, treasurer, and Carl Moller, manager of the company s branch at Jacksonville, Fla.

POSTAL BANKS ARE
 WELL RECEIVED

Washington, January 4.-Gratification is expressed by officials of the postoffice de- partment today over the success of the first days operations of the postal saw ings bank system.
 Telegrams received by Postmaster Hitchcock today indicated that hundreds of persons in the AS cities where the pub lie Repositories were opened avaled them selves of the opportunity to deposit sur plus cash. The deposits ranged from sl to several hundred dollars. The compar- atively small amount deposited in the az gregate was due, in the opinion of the officials and in the light of the telegrams received to the non-arrival at many of the offices of the $1O, S20 $50, and $l00 certif1- cates. Efforts were made to get to each office adequate supplies for the opening day, but in some instances they were un- availing.
 Only one office thus far reports tha; there were no deposits. That office was Clifton Forge, Va. The postmaster re- ports no deposits and very bad weather Subsequent reports by mail will throw additional light upon the operation of the banks, but it may be a week or ten days before such reports are available.

One unlueHllHeu HldH
 One porter, name unknown, is fatally injured.
 The Burlington train No. 42, eastbound, arrived in Cheney in plenty of time to make the siding. An unexplained delay of five minutes saw the Burlington train still on the main line with the North Coast coming at terrific speed down the mile of straight track, approaching the yards.
 The engineer of the North Coast train applied the airbrakes but was unable to get his train under control. It crashed into the rear of the Burlington at a speed estimated at from 35 to 40 miles an hour. The huge locomotive plowed through the standing train for three car lengths.
 That the death list is no larger is due to the fact that there were only six per- sons in the Pullmans. Not a man on the Burlington standard sleepers escaped with his life. The Pullmans were smashed to splnters.

FoR THE

FOX ItfE
1t is getting late to do very much
in the way of a playground for this
year. The playground commission
ers are going ahead with their plans,
however, and much good may yet be
accomplished. AS was announced in
tho news columns Monday, arrange
ments have been completed for the
visit of Roland S. Haynes, field sec
rotary of the Playground Associa-
ton of America, to this city. Those
WHO claim they do not understand
the playground movement should
make it a point to hear Mr.. Haynes
in the high school auditorium Fri
day night.
While the weather is a little warn
for public mass meetings and the at
tendance can hardly be expected to
be as large as it would have been if
held earlier in the season, yet Mr..
Haynes will have something to say
that is well worth hearing and as
many as possible should be present.
The trouble is, so many people who
have absolutely no conception of
what a municipal playground Is,
think they know all about it and
many of them, having thus formed
an opinion are inclined to oppose the
idea. To such people the mere
name playground" means an open
lot where the children are turned
loose to to romp and act as they
please. Naturally they suppose that
a gang of roughs will soon be in pos
session of everything and respectable
children will be. better off home. But
those who hold this idea of a play
ground should be sure to hear Mr..
Haynes Friday night. He will show
that while the children do actually
play and have the time of their lives
on the playground, they are at the
same time receiving valuable train
ing in character building and dis
cipline, to say nothing of the physi-
cal development that means as much
to the boys and girls in their future
life as do the studies pursued in the
public schools. Many a child has
been made a physical wreck for life
because of the lack of such a train
ing as is to be received on a properly
conducted playground. Perth Am
boy wants her boys and girls to grow
up to be true men and women in ev-
cry sense of the word. We have an
unsurpassed school system and all
that is needed is theplayground, such
as Mr.. Haynes will describe, to make
our education complete. OF course,
both the schools and the playground
idea CARS extended as time goes
on IuePresent We are interested in
getting a start for the playground.
This is the week when we start to
do things. The playground commits
sion should receive every encour-
agement.

BOROUGH OF ROOSEVELT.

Ever since the borough of Roose-
welt was incorporated it has been
having a strenuous time. Whether
it is because the place was formed
during the administration of Theo-
dore Roosevelt when strenuosity was
a virtue, and has not been able TIC
overcome the habit, or whether those
back of the borough movement knew
there would be lively doings once
the incorporation was affected and
decided to choose a name that would
be suitable, is not known, neither is
it Of any consequence at This time.
The fact is that the place is named
Roosevelt and 1t is decidedly siren
uous.
Such strife, however, as now exists
in Roosevelt becomes tiresome after
awhile and cannot help but work in
jury to the town. This is espe-
citlly true when religion and politics
mix and personal abuse enters into
the controversies. Roosevelt is one
of the most favorably located Dor
oughs in the state. 1t is experience
ing a great boom which shows no
signs of abating. The place is grow
ing in spite of itself, however, for
Instead of the citizens working TO-
gether for the welfare of the town
they are split absolutely In twain,
one side being unable to see q parti-
Gle of good in anything that the
other side does. Hammering and
knocking, pulling and hauling first
this way then that, horsewhipping,
smuggling matches, insulting remarks
in the factional press, and the like,
have already given the town a bad
reputation. 1t has become a joke in
all sections. 1t is receiving plenty
of publicity, it is true, but it is not
the kind of advertising that a place
wants.
There is reason to believe that the
rank and file of the citizens of Roose-
welt, no matter which side they may
take, are becoming disguised with
the whole thing and are ready now
for the Ratchet to be buried, let by
cones be bygones, and all get to-
gether for the good of the borough.
The peope there have every reason
to do this Few places posseeC such
advantages. Had 1t not b5en foI
these the internal warfare that ha,
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-05-31

been wsged so long would have kill
ed the town long ago. We do not
believe the place can be killed, but
it can be and is being greatly him
dered In its development by the mar
rowmindedness of its own citizens.
The people should stop talking about
each other for awhile and talk
Roosevelt. They have ample reason
for doing so.
