| Although no direct reference was
made to such andldacy, throughout
! the entire address Judge Lyon con-
| fined himself to an attack upon the
affiliations of Assem- blyman John f.
| Ten Breeck, of this city, who as
pires to the state senate. Mr.. Lyon
was forced to further explain his po-
Sition last night because, as report
ed, number Of his followers strong
| ly favored the Endorsement of Mr..
| Ten Brock on the ground that he is
| an able man and a "favorite son."
Judge Lyon issued a printed state
ment two weeks ago to the news
papers, In which he scored Mr.. Ten
Broeck's candidacy, although ex-
planning his friendship for the man.
The judge refrained from any men
| ton of Mr.. Ten Broeck's name last
night but, on one occasion, said:
you know what | mean," which
| thoroughly explained that his fiery
| address was not an oratorical con-
| test.
Judging from the sentiment of the
members expressed after the meet
| ing the Progressives will not place a
third ticket in the field in this city,
but will confine such action to the
county and congressional district
The members of the club who, two
weeks ago, declared in favor Of a
third local ticket, said after the
meeting that Judge Lyons talk had
| cleared up matters considerably and
that they are more than willing to
| join hands and work for the success
of the city slate as prepared by the
| AptipU
Judge Lyons advice, the Progressive
party will not name opposition can
didates for city offices, but 'in-
dorse" by remaining silent on pri-
mary day and eXpend all energy for
the success of the ticket on NoVem-
! ber s.
As regards a county ticket, Judge
Lyon believes that county organi-
zation and slate will be perfected at
the 81 dinner (Which will cost
s1.25) at Metuchen on September g..
Mr.. Lyon, who explains in his ad-
dress that he is with the Progress
ives in the campaign of 1912, plac-
ing particular emphasis upon the
m912," will be toastmaster at the
dinner and has urged the club to
send a strong delegation from this
city. In speaking of the county or
ganization, Judge Lyon remarked
upon the need of q committeeman
from this district to the county orr
ganization, therefore Chairman Girls
wold was instructed to name the
delegate. Mr.. Griswold announced
today that he has named DR.. G. w.
Tyrrell to that position.
Samuel G. Garretson, a prominent
member of the club, offered this
resolution, which was adopted:
Whereas, owing to the confusion
arising through the similarity of the
name of this organization, be it
resolved that we hereafter be known
as the Roosevelt Club" Many of the
members believe that with the pass
ing of the former name. they witness
the death of all affiliation with the
present Republican party and the
birth Of a new era in local and Mid
dlesex county politics. Many voters
present last night declared that they

Here Chief Of Police Burke spoke
up and said: That's plain assault
and If it is ever attempted on me,
Wholesale Raid Suggested.
I'll assault you back SO that you will
know It,"
In order to prove the right of this
as well as every other municipality
to let its police officers ride free
when on duty, whether in uniform or
not, 1t has been suggested to Chief
of Police Burke that he send his men
out in plain clothes and make a
wholesale raid, arresting every Pub
lie Service conductor in the city, If
necessary. 1t is conceded by legal
authorities that he has that right.
Under chapter II, Of the laws of
1911, police officers were given the
right to ride free. whether in uniform
or not.
The act in question states In part:
mo such public utility, as herein
defined, shall hereafter give, grant
or bestow upon any local municipal
or county official any discrimination,
gratuity or free service whatsoever,
but nothing herein contained shall
prevent free transportation of uni
formed public officers while engaged
In the performance of their public
duties, or police officers of whatever
grade or rank acting as detectives,
whose duties require police duty to
be performed without uniform -
Approved March IA, 1911"
The --latest Law.
The latest law on the subject, con-
tanned in chapter 159 of the laws Of
1912, follows: "On and after the
passage of this act each street rail-
way company or corporation referred
to in the act to which this act is a
supplement shall grant free trans
portation of uniformed police officers

while engaged in the performance
of their public duties, whose duties
require police duty to be performed
without uniform. This act shall take
effect Immediately. Approved March

Chapter 191 OF the laws of 1912
also gives police chiefs the right
to accept free transportation from

Warden's Record in Three
Weeks--13 Redeemed.

Sixty-five dogs have been captured
by Dog Warden Ole l.. Olesen the
past three weeks. OF that number
thirteen were released at the re-
quest of owners and the remainder
killed. These activities have caused
an increased demand for dog IL
censes in the office of City Clerk La
Roe this month.
Oleson is now in charge of the
city pound unmolested by former
Dog Warden Albert Leonard, who
threatened to tear the locks from the
pound and take possession. Leonard
seems to have taken advice from
Acting Mayor Garretson to drop out
quietly rather than hold his position
by force and stand trial on cruelty,
neglect and other charges.

HIGH STREET
Petition will be Presented
by Council by Residents.

To make High street a boulevard
from City Hall Park to the river is
the aim of several enthusiastic prop
erty owners. A petition has been
prepared and will be presented to
the Board of Aldermen at their next
meeting. 1t already has many sign
ers. Although the petition provides
for a bitulithic pavement a number
of the property owners prefer as
phalt block.
Several of the petitioners would
be satisfied to have the curb extend
ed out the distance of five feet on
each side of the thoroughfare. 1t
will be remembered that the Shade
Tree Commission had planned to
make a boulevard out of High street,
but owing to lack of funds the idea
was abandoned.

He had good control and got away with

play this afternoon at Kendall Green.
1t Is likely that White will do the
pitching this afternoon for Georgetown,
although Fienle may be sent in. Either
OF the two men should show we'll In the
box.
One Of the best things about Austin, the
Technical High pitcher. Is that he seems
always to have control Of the ball. There
are few games in which the youngster
gives more than two bases on balls. and
IL he gets in a hole, 1t is generally errors
on the part Of his teammates that is re-
sponsible for it. Austin. besides being
good pitcher, Is also hitter above the
average. In yesterdays contest with
Eastern he connected with the ball for
three safeties out OF four times at bat.
Dyer. at short for Eastern. hit the ball
better than any OF his teammates. He
got two hits out of four trips to the pan,
Incidentally. 1t was the four errors made
by Dyer that contributed largely to Techs
rungetting.
Austin Of Tech, flelded his position In
good style. demonstrating the fact that he
is about as good a fielding pitcher as
there il in the series. He had four assists
and two put-outs yesterday without
slip-up.
