The resolutions adopted by the con-

The resolutions adopted by the con- yention are as follows:

 THEREFORE, BE TT RESOLVED that we who are electors of Maricopa county Arizona in mass meeting as sembled this 27th day of July. 1912, in the city of Phoenix, favor the or ganiZation and promotion of a na tional progressive party which shall have for it's objects the genuine popu- lar rule by the people of the affairs of our government and the obtaining of social and industrial justice through such popular rule. and hereby pledge our undivided support to such party;

INNOCENT MAN.
HAS SUFFERED
Evidence That Steve Vonko-
ski Was Sent to Jail TO
Protect Saloonkeeper.
RECORDER TAKES ACTION
Warrant for Saloon Man Who
Will be Arranged Tonight
on Gambling Charge.

New evidence laid before RECORDER
Kehoe this morning tends to show
that a fraud was committed and an
innocent man sent to jail to protect a
saloonkeeper from the clutches OF
the law. The evidence goes to show
that Steve Vonkoski, twenty-four
years old, is in the county Jail await
ing the action of the grand jury on a
charge of having held up and robbed
Joseph Marusky, of SIS the latter
part of last week. The only evidence
before the court at the time OF his
arraignment last Sunday, indicated
that he had gambled and drank to-
gether with Marusky who accused
him of robbery. The recorder there
fore held Vonkoski without bail, he
says.
The men were together In Paul
Piasezki's place at III Hall avenue,
according to the police. The new evil
dence is that witnesses saw Murusky
lose $40 to one man and 81 to an
other at a gambling game with cards
in the saloon. Marusky and the sa-
loonkeeper denied to the police that
there had been any gambling in the
pioCCt CACCPL w A'NO Iva bhO
drinks to the amount of thirty or
forty cents.
Piasezki, the saloonkeeper' who
conducts place formerly owned by
Joseph T. Galaida and previously by
Carl Nelson, will be arraigned be-
fore Recorder Kehoe at o'clock to-
night to answer to a charge of gamb-
ling. Chief of Police Burke will
probably prefer the charge. The
witnesses who will appear who gave
testimony before the court this morn
ing In Vonkoski's behalf are Michael
Morgan, of 334 Hall avenue, and
Joseph Gavorowski, of GAG Elizabeth
street. They swear to seeing Marusky
lose $40 to one man and 81 to an
other at cards in the saloon in ques-
ton.

STATE AID FOR
COUNTY BRIDGE
Silzer Bill for Amboy Struc-
ture Passes Senate.

Trenton, March 29:--The Senate
at Trenton has passed Senator Sill
zer's bill, No. 273, providing for
State maintenance of the Amboy
bridge. 1t was expected that the
House would pass this measure to-
day.
The bill provides that the state
shall pay one-third the cost of main
tanning the bridge, or the same
amount 1t pays for the upkeep of
public highways. The bill as origi-
nally drawn provided that the State
pay the entire cost, but there was
strong opposition to this, and Senator
Silzer was finally able to secure its
passage by putting the bridge on the
same status as the county roads.
The maintenance cost OF the
bridge is about $4,000 a year, so
that the county will be about $4,000
to the good by the passage of the act.
The bill provides that the money
from the State shall be paid from
the road fund. This means that 1t
will not be necessary to make a spe-
cial provision for the money In the
appropriations bill this year.
County Solicitor John A. Coan,
drew the bill, which while it is a gen.
eral one in it's provisions, can be
applied only to Amboy bridge.

CELL AFIRE IN
kEYp0RT JAIL.
Gilbert Eryen Rescued and
Blazing Cot Extinguished.
speofo, TO the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, March 29:-Great ex-
citement prevailed In the borough
about o'clock last night when the
Jail in the town hall was discovered
ablaze and the life OF Gilbert Erven,
q prisoner, endangered by the fire.
In the absence of the officers and
janitor, force was resorted to In se-
curing an entrance to the lookup.
The lock to cell No. 2, where Erven
was confined, was smashed and his
cot and mattress found blazing
briskly, with a large quantity of
smoke pouring forth from the dam
pening effects OF two wooden blankets
which the prisoner had thrown upon
the blaze In his fright.
Erven was transferred oanother
cell and the fire quickly extinguished
by the fire department, which had
answered the alarm. The damage
was trifing 1t Is supposed that
Erven, who was awaiting hearing
on the charge of intoxication and
disorderly conduct, had set fire to his
mattress while trying to light his
pipe. He was in a stupefied condition
when found and could not explain
the cause of the blaze. He later
denied setting the fire to the inte-
rior of the cell, but 1t was generally
agreed that the man had accidentally
committed the offense without
knowledge.
The prisoner was arraigned last
night in town hall before Recorder
w. K. Wentworth, who censured
the man for his carelessness and or
dered that he pay $40 and costs,
which would reimburse the borough
for the damage done by fire. Eryen
pleaded that he had no funds. but
declared he would pay the fine If
allowed few days in which to earn
the necessary amount. Whereupon,
the recorder granted stay until April
6, and Eryen must pay his fine on or
before that date or serve sentence
of twenty days in the county jail.

PLAN To CARRY
The IST WARD
Democrats Organize in Strong
Republican District.

| Every indication at the organiza-
ton meeting Of the First Ward Dem
ocrats last night in Martins gro
Gerry store, In Madison avenue,
pointed to a successful termination of
the leaders plans and one of the
hardest political fights ever waged
in that district next November when
candidate is elected to succeed
Alderman Samuel w. Hornsby to the
Board of Aldermen. Twenty enthu-
| siastic followers of Jeffersonian
| principals were present when Thomas

most prominent men in the financial
and political life of the city.

ton, George M. Adair, Of Madison
avenue, Street Commissioner of the
city of Perth Amboy, was nominated

and considerable enthusiasm shown

time a permanent organization will
be perfected and reports received
from the appointed bylaws and
membership committees. In order to
defray the expenses of the initial
meeting, voluntary collection was
taken, which netted $500. The dues
will be 25 cents per month, it was
decided.
+ 1t is the first attempt ever made
| in the memories of the present polit-
ical leaders by the Democrats of the
First Ward to organize club in that
district. The ward every year goes
Republican by about $50 majority,
but the Democrats are now positive
that, in couple of campaigns, to
even up all scores by electing a
Democratic representative from that
district to the Board of Aldermen.

PUT TREES ON
SHERIDAN ST.
Shade Tree Board Make In
spection- ASK Funds.

Following an inspection by the
Shade Tree Commission yesterday,
Sheridan street, leading to the coun-
ty bridge. will be beautified and
efforts made to secure additional
funds from the Board of Aldermen
to carry out their idea of making a
boulevard out of High street from
city hall park to the waterfront.
1t was decided to plant trees on
both sides of Sheridan street SO that
strangers arriving here by way of
the bridge would be impressed with
the fine appearance of the thorough
fare which when paved will be one
of the prettiest in the city.
The commissioners during the
past, week have been working on
several schemes by which to carry
out their idea for High street.
Commissioner J. G. Donehue said
that 1t is impossible to start the
movement with the money on hand.
with the city fathers at their next
meeting relative to securing addi-
tional money for. the project.
The board will go to the various
nurseries In this vicinity Monday
ana purchase LuSir supply ioI bhO
spring season. Trees are to be
planted at the grammar school,
public school No. and In front Of
the high school. Front street, from
Market to Gordon, will be shaded
with trees and benches supplied,
making the place small park. At
the city hospital new beds of flowers
will be placed and shrubbery plant
ed.
1t was decided at the inspection
that the playground site should be
well shaded and when the Play
ground Commission determine to
open it the commissioners will do
their part by planting trees along
the streets to shade the entire plot.
Trees throughout the city will be
trimmed and as many dead ones as
the appropriation allows will be cut
down and new ones planted in their
places.
Many improvements. could be
made, the commissioners say, but
lack OF funds compel them to be very
sparing. They are of the opinion
that property increases In value IL
the streets are lined with trees we'll
kept.
Matthew Weirup. president, and
Commissioners John kutcher and
John G. Donehue made the inspec-
tion.
