AFTER FIELD
FOR DISPLAY
July q Fireworks Site is
Not Yet Settled.

Plans laid by the fireworks COM
mittee, of the safe and sane" July
Fourth celebration, had to be
changed this morning when it was
learned the field adjoining the post
Office could not be used for the huge
display on Perth Amboy's big night
owing to its size.
Edward j. Mccormick, chairman
of the committee, is In communica-
tion with the Raritan Copper Works
and the G. Pardee Works in the en-
deavor to secure either field for the
fireworks display. Last year the
display was given off the Bluff from
a float in the bay.
Because Of State streets white
way" plans and the knowledge that
Staten Island would benefit, to q
large extent, from a river display, 1t
was decided to have the celebration
inland this year. Last week during
the post Office field was suggested.
To Treat the Children.
George A. Crawford, chairman of
the refreshment committee of the
safe and sane" July Fourth celebra-
ton, said this morning the. commit
tee would advise, at the meeting of
the executive committee Thursday
night in city hall, that the children
who take part in the morning parade
be treated with cake, candy, lemon
ade and ice cream. The committee
was instructed, two weeks ago, to
look into the advisability of such a
course.
Following the committees report
the chairman will ask for an appro-
priation to cover the expense, which
will be about $500. 1t is thought
this sum will be forthcoming, for at
the meeting last week the commit
tee on finance offered a very faVora-
BILE report, with provisions TO refresh
the children after their long march.
Mr.. Crawford could not state
what steps will be taken to treat the
youthful paraders. Many would like
to see them assembled in one body
for this purpose. while others have
advanced the arugment in favor of
the treat taking place at the various
schools. There will be meeting OF
the refreshment committee Thursday
night before the executive commit
tees session.

mittes at Work.

at Procter's Theatre, on
August 27.

Members of the Young Mems He
brew Association of this city last
night launched a boom which will
terminate In the erection of a mod
ern club house within a short space
of time. In the rooms the commit
tee on ways and means held very
interesting meeting at which it was
decided that the association, owing
to It's growth, can and must have
quarters of their own.
Several months ago considerable
discussion on this topic was heard
among Hebrew circles in this city but
the actions reached by the commit
tee last night assures all that the
idea is not a myth, but will end in
reality. Subscriptions were start
ed last night and although the sum
will not be given out, it is under
stood, that 1t was more than encour-
aging.
The committee decided that one
Of the best ways to raise funds for
the purpose Of erecting a club house
would be to give one of New York 9
greatest successes by local talent.
After much deliberation it was de-
cided to present paid In Full" In
Proctor's theatre on August 27.
Joseph Greenwald, an adept at the
show business, will be personally in
charge of the show. Talent, taken
from the Ladies' Auxiliary and the
Senior organization, will begin at
once to rehearse their parts Plans
are under foot to make this the
greatest achievement of the Y. M.
H. A.
1t is the intention of the commit
tee on construction to erect one Of
the most modern club houses in the
state. To equip frst-class gymna-
SUM Is one of their greatest aims.
Besides the pleasure end of the as
sociation's work, the educational
factor will play very important
part. The Y. M. H. A. during the
winter months have worked industri-
ously in the educational line and
propose, when in their new club
house, to carry out the work on a
much higher scale.

Assault on Father.
Special to the EVENING NEWS,

New Brunswick, June 6:-Recor-
der Weber, Of Metuchen, came to
town today and with him came two
crisp hundred dollar bills and a SEN
sation. The bills he left with Coun-
ty Clerk Cannon with a note to the
effect that the money was a cash
bail put up by Francis Connor, who
had been charged with atrocious as
sault. The recorder was rather du-
bious about leaving any Of the SEN
sation behind, but 1t got all over
Metuchen like wildfire and managed
to spread to New Brunswick. Frank
Connor is son of John M. Connor,
retired manufacturer, of Metu-
chen, who lives with his family in
the fashionable section Of Metuchen
called Woodwild Park. Francis is
about twenty-five years Of age and
his father says that he and a certain
woman now figuring in a divorce
case have been altogether too inti-
mate. This woman, 1t seems, has
been stopping at the Connor home
at intervals, although she resides
next door Saturday night, 1t is de-
clared, the father went home and
when his son came out of a room
with the woman In the case, some
words were passed. Words came to
blows and the father says he was
struck with the butt of an old style
revolver.
With several ugly wounds In his
head he found his way to the home
OF Recorder Weber. Connor had
lost great deal of blood and ap-
peared about used up. DR.. C. A.
Hofer was sent for and at the re-
quest of Mr.. Connor, Rev. ]. F. Fen
ton, of st. Luke's Episcopal church.
was summoned, Mr.. Connor ex-
planning that he didn't know how
dangerous his injuries might be. A
warrant was issued for the son on
complaint Of the father, and a hear
Ing was granted yesterday morning.
Judge Weber held the son under
$500 cash bail for the grand jury
Judge c. T. Cowenhoven has been
retained by the young mans mother.
The young man and his mother
tell an entirely different story. 1t
is to the effect that the father threat
ened to do bodily harm to the moth
er and the son protected her. The
fathers wounds are explained In
this way. In the tussle that ensued
some rusty fire arms that were hang
ing on the wall, fell and struck the
elder Connor inf1icting the injuries
which he received.
The family Is we'll known and
highly respectable and the affair Is
much regretted.
