much dickering, the Board of Al
dermen passed q resolution relin-
gushing hold on the rights for that
street for period of twenty-five
years, so that the Perth Amboy and
Tottenville Ferry Company could ap-
ply directly to the Riparian Commits
sion with the city's consent. In re-
turn the ferry company was to pay
an annual rental, as is being paid by
the Staten Island Rapid Transit Rail-
road Company. The ferry company,
represented by James S. Wight and
George s. Silzer, has continually ad-
hered to the those arrangements and
has steadfastly refused to take any
chances of leasing from the city. It
appealed on two occasions to the Ri
parian Commission with the result
that the question was taken under
consideration for some time.
The Riparian Commission placed
the subject before Attorney General
Wilson and he advised that the city
had the right to lease under sec
ton Of the statute relating to rental
of unused lands. This opinion was
adverse to the contentious of others
involved in the case. Joseph e.
Stricken has represented the city in
the proposition, being engaged at the
time of the illness of City Attorney
Hommann.

y Pathos and CONSERVATION figured
prominently in incidents connected
with double elopement which were
aired in police court this morning
Three of the elopers were fined 500

The participants hailed from Bangor,

and child ten weeks ago and the
other left eight weeks ago. The
eloping parties came together in this
city and lived at 418 Seaman street.
They were trailed by letter of in
quiry sent to Bangor in an effort to
learn how their husbands were get
ting along.
The court was somewhat amazed
last night when Charles Valanta and
Charles Smith made requests for
warrants to apprehend their wives
and affinities. Mrs. Mary Smith and
Joseph Blasek, defendants accused
by Smith, and the woman's four chill
dren were found by policemen at 41S

Roundsman Morris and Patrolmen

1t developed at the hearing that
Mrs. Mary Smith was only Smiths
wife in common law, as they had
never been officially married. Ac-
cording to the testimony, the woman
had been living at various times with

The woman cried and became hys-
terical when seized by two officers
and Jailed in default Of payment of a
$50 fine. During her arraignment,
together with Peter Evil, she said
life was nnbearable with her hus-
has.s. Evil said he did not elope with
her, but knew the man who did. Cir
cumstantial evidence, as coming
from theatre in company with the
woman, proved to the satisfaction Of
the court that he was guilty and was
likewise fined $50. The fines were
paid later.
The complaining men professed to
be hard workers, earning as high as
IS a day In Bangor, Me. They de-
clared having excellent homes there
and were at loss to know why their
wives should run away. Smith said
the woman he lived with took $500
of his savings. He believed 1t was
with part of this money that she
paid her fine. Both Smith and Val

BETTER TRAINS
New York Public Service

Trade Board S Request.
TO NEW YORK AT NIGHT
Will Benefit Commuters and
Persons Going to Theatres
In New York.
TO NEW YORK AT NIGHT

Following the sending of several
letters of complaint from the Perth
Amboy Board of Trade to the Public
Service Commission of New York,
the Staten Island Railway Company
has arranged to change the time OF
early trains to make it convenient for
local people to reach the theatre dis
trict in New York at desirable time.
The changes are also beneficial to
commuters. One train Will be at St.
George in time to connect with the
7:10 o'clock boat, landing passengers
in New York at 1892 o'clock. An
other train will arrive at st. George
to connect with the $50 O'Clock boat
for New York, instead of the 3
o'clock boat as at present. The
changes will probably become effec-
tive within the next ten days.
AS |. c. Moore, president of the
Board of Trade, handed the letter
from the Public Service Commission,
giving notice of the changes, In the
EVENING NEWS Office this morning,
he smilingly remarked, 81 guess the
Board of Trade Is not dead yet.
The letter follows:
New York, Nov. 7, 1912.
Mr. l. G. Moore, Perth Amboy, M.
Dear Sir:-Referring to the train
service from Tottenvile to st. George
between 600 and 700 p. m, which
was the subject Of complaint by you
and anumber of others some time
ago, beg to advise that the Staten
Island Railway Company has now ar
ranged to operate t.Ss4s.S NO. So so as
to arrive at st. George in time to
connect with boat leaving for New
York at 7:10 p. M, instead Of arriv-
ing to connect with the 1880 p. M.
boat as at present.
This chage will enable passengers
to reach New York about 1882 p. M,
which will give them ample time to
reach the theatre district. Train No.
81 will also be changed In time to
arrive at st. George to connect with
the $3.50 p. m. boat to New York, in
stead of 800 p. m. as at present.
These changes will go into effect as
soon as the revised time tables can
be gotten out and printed, which
will probably be within the next ten
days.
Very truly yours,

Be Well Repaid In Cheerful,

There is q pleasing LONELINESS
about chintz room which gives 1t q
subtle attraction Most women at this
time of year are attacked with a
laudable desire to redress their rooms
so that the time of summer and the
singing birds is suggested and win
ter's sunless cold forgotten.
The most obvious way to achieve
the redressing is to choose suitable
chlntz and to order loose covers for
all the chairs and sofas, ottomans and
cushions In the room. The favorita
colorings this season give range OF
tulip shades, purple, rose red, q deep
buff or scarlet. These have some-
times a black ground, as in the days
of Louis Philippe. Huge soft cush-
ions, square or round In shape, are Of
down, covered with silk, and have no
pendant fiouncing.
A successful room can be obtained
with one Of the cretonnes or chintzes
In oriental patterns, and the furniture
or bibelots in the Chinese taste, which
is now so much to the fore, accord
we'll with such designs. An excellent
result is obtained II panels Of the
printed linen or chiRtz are placed on
the wall instead Of paper. and old
prints show up we'll with such a back
ground.
Old needlework is now reproduced
in glazed chintz, and fine Italian pat
terms glowing with subdued blues,
reds and browns, with that clouded
mauve only seen in Italian silks, and
a bed OF anemones gives touch Of
distinction to any room.
A single mauve cushion and one OF
black in soft silk are generally intro
duced as daring note. Pomegran-
ates, picotees and peonies figure and
the twisted stems form arabesques.
