South Amboy, Dec. 11.-As the
new year draws near many on ac-
count of curiosity are sitting on the
anxious bench while there are others
wondering If on the first of the year
when the old municipal plum tree is
shaken this year whether they will
be able to get a single plum or will
those who have been gathering for
years again be the lucky one and
gather to their hearts content. There
seems to have been a desire for
changes along some lines as there
have been some change ade by the
people of this city in the men to
whom they have delegated the
power to shake the municipal tree.
The fruit to be distributed from the
old tree this year is as follows: A
water commissioner, a street COM
missioner, city treasurer, city soli-
citor, city engineer, five members of
the board of education, a police mag
istrate and a new board of health.
While there is naught to a against
the present incumbnts, yet if they
have served the interests of the peo-
pie we'll they should not be COM
PEELED to serve a life time, as when
they die the city would practically
be without men experienced in mum
icipal affairs, and something like a
ship with a defective compass, sure
to lose their course for a time. On
the other hand if they, the present
incumbents, have not served the peo-
pie we'll why at the earliest posi-
lilo {fDn~ fhnu chnp1I hn 0~onftny
when the tree is being shaken and
thus delegated to private life to en-
able them to gain wisdom so that
should they ever again be called to
direct the municipal ship they might
be able to direct it to the best ad-
vantage of their fellow citizens.

vanlman's Tragic Disaster.

With thousands of spectators stand
ing in full view, too Mortified to utter
cry, the drigible Akron, having
Melvin Vaniman as commander, his
younger brother Calvin Vaniman, and
Fred Elmer, Walter Gest and George
Bourrillion, his crew, all on board was
shattered by the explosion OF the gas
bag while high in the air over tho
ocean near Atlantic City. N. J.
The Akron was taken out for a test
fight. One fight had already been
made, about a month ago. Defects dis
covered at that time were remedied
and this flight was to be among tn
last prior to the attempt to cross the
Atlantic.
When a half mile off Brigantns
beach the thousands of spectators who
had been watching the ship saw a
burst of flames outlined against the
sky In few seconds they were hor-
rified to see the car of the balloon
detach itself from the bag and shoot
downward into the water, followed by
the collapsed gas bag.
Mrs. Vaniman saw the collapse of
the balloon and its drop into the
ocean carrying with it her husband
and brother-in-law. She fell in a faint
and was unconscious some time.
Friends who were with her sent for
physicians and when she recovered
consciousness she talked of her hus-
bands bravery.
The wives of Bourrillion, Gest and
Elmer, who lived nearby, also saw
the disaster from their homes. Neigh
bors tenderly cared for them and later
they went over to the Vaniman cot
tage. Men turned away as the four
widows wept on one another's shoul-
ders,

JOHNSON DECLARED WINNER
Championship Fight Stopped by Police.
Wolgast Wins on Foul.

Jack Johnson is still the champion
of the world but not because he
proved himself very much superior TO
Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, in the
fight at Las Vegas, N. NJ.
Johnson is still the champion for the
reason that Flynn lost his head when
he had the big black fellow on the run
and made it necessary for the police
to jump into the ring in the ninth
round,
Referee Smith announced that he
did not give the decision to Johnson
because of the foul tactics of Flynn,
as the white man had transgressed no
more than the negro. And that while
the butting of the Pueblo fireman could
be seen the holding of Johnson was
just as truly an infractlon of the rules.
He held that the men sometime ago
agreed that If the fight was stopped
for any reason that the victor should
be the man who was leading at the
time There was no question but that
Johnson had struck the greater num-
ber of clean blows.

row BREAKS
IN TREASURY
Secretary MaCVGagh Hit by As
SiStant Andrew

An investigation OF the treasury de-
partment by congress will probably re-
suit frcm the resignation of A. Pia;t
Andrew as second assistant secretary
of the treasury accompanied by SEN
sational letters addressed by Andrew
to both the secretary of the treasury
and the president
Andrew declared that energetic
young men in the treasury had been
"hampered and discouraged at every
turn by Secretary MacVeagh's idiosyn-
crases, his astounding capacity for
proscrastination, his ncapacity for de-
cision and the peculiar moods OF sus-
picion and aversion to which he Is
constantly subject"
Andrew names in his letter to the
president some half-dozen high Of
ticials Of the department who, he says,
will confirm his statements regarding
conditions in the department and the
relations existing between the various
division and bureau heads and the
secretary.
Secretary MacVeagh in a statement
declared that the resignation of A.
Piatt Andrew assistant secretary OF
the treasury was not submitted until
it had repeatedly been requested by
both Mr.. MacVeagh and President
Taft.
The secretary said that Mr. Andrew
pleaded to be retained in the service
and brought every possible influence
to bear to have the request for his
resignation withdrawn. The state
ment further says:
at was a disappointment to me that
Mr. Andrew was not efficient enough
to meet the requirements and | en-
deavored to get someone else. That is
all there is to it when the change was
decided upon"
