chances Of being hurt OF drowning
by the manner in which they carry
on, after acquainting themselves with
the surroundings. They sit on edges
of docks, floats, ETC., and climb In
and out of small vessels.
Yesterday afternoon about five
boys were seen on float just of the
Schantz & Eckert dock. Employees
of the machine shops and foundry
paid little attention to them until
there arose cry Of distress. Messrs.
Johnson and Schantz, who happened
to be nearby were frst to the rescue,
Schantz volunteered to go after the
boy who had fallen from the float.
Johnson held him by his feet as he
hung over the edge Of the dock and
pulled the lad to safety. They state
he appeared to be about twelve years
old. The act drew admiration from
a crowd OF spec ators, who congratu-

AUTO CHEMICAL
AND CHIEF RIG
Acting Mayor Garretson Fay-
ors Such a Piece of Self
Propelled Fire Apparatus.
WHAT Is NEEDED HERE
Inspection at Plainfield Last
Night Shows Motors to
be Rather Costly.

1t is not likely that Perth Amboy
such as a committee of city officials
saw in Plainfeld last night for some
time to come. 1t appeared too elab-
crate and expensive to suit their de-
sires. However, there is a possibil-
ity of installing motor hose and
chemical apparatus to replace the
rickety horse-drawn wagon of Nc
Clellan Engine Company and a COM
bination chiefs and chemical auto
mobile.
- Acting Mayor Garretson, Alderman
Dalton, who Is chairman of the fire
committee, Chief Engineer Comings
and former Chief Meade, went as
guests of Representative Fennel of
the Saurer Manufacturing Company,
builders Of Mack apparatus, to view
fire apparatus and motor chassis last
night. They went with view of
advocating a change of a majority of
the horse-hitch apparatus, principally
the hose and chemical wagons, to
motordriven vehicles, If the impress
sion gained from the inspection
trip were sufficiently favorable. They
we're surprised to see so elaborate a
hose and chemical truck in use in
Plainfeld. Instead of an apparatus
such as the hose and chemical wag-
ons in use here, placed on automobile
chassis, the officials found a large
elaborate and expensive truck 1t
cost approximately $4,000, equipped
complete.
1t appeared almost as long as the
new aerial truck in use here, can
carry sixteen men, 1900 feet of wa
ter hose, two 100-gallon chemical
tanks, several hundred feet of chemi-
cal hose and divers other fire fight
ing apparatus. Every feature of the
apparatus was explained to the Off
cials by the Saurer company's repre-
sentative. Chief Engineer T. l..
Doane, Of the Plainield fire depart
ment, said the apparatus in question
had been in use for about three
weeks. in that time had answered
three alarms of fire and had given
pronounced satisfact ction. Photo
graphs of the truck were distributed
among the visitors.
Acting Mayor Garretson said today
he would recommend that the city's
first piece of automobile fire appara-
tus be a combination chiefs and
chemical rig. One that should be To-
Gated In f1rehouse containing two
janitors and be first to answer all
alarms of fire. He maintained that
inasmuch as about eight OF ten fires
were OF very trivial nature, such
an apparatus could extinguish them
before the heavier machines arrived.

BIG Time HERE
| ON OCTOBER II
Wilson Banner to be Raised
and Huge Meeting Will
Follow in Auditorium.
HUGHES TO BE PRESENT
Blind Senator Gore May
Speak--Thomas ]. SculIy
viii Make Address.
HUGHES TO BE PRESENT

Judging from the reports from the
arrangement committee, the banner
raising of the Wilson Democratic
Club, in this city on Friday night,
October IL, will be the greatest DEM
ocratic celebration ever witnessed in
Perth Amboy. Among the speakers
for the occasion will be former Con-
gressman William Hughes, the pre-
ferential nominee of the Democratic
party for the United States senate,
and, possibly, United States Senator
Thomas P. Gore, the "Blind Senator"
from Oklahoma. In addition to Mr..
Hughes and Senator Gore, of national
reputation, Congressman Thomas J.
Scully, of South Amboy, will be pre-
sent to address his constituents and
further his candidacy for reelection
in the third congressional district.
The Wilson and Marshal banner
will be flung to the breezes at New
Brunswick avenue and Smith street
promptly at o'clock on Friday even
ing, of next week, and adjournment
Immediately taken to the Auditorium,
where the mass meeting and speech
making will take place. The banner
has cost the Wilson Club about $3.50
and is furnished by Plainfield firm.
The arrangements for the coming
demonstration are under the super
vision of the Democratic County
Committee, Thomas H. Hagerty, Of
New Brunswick, chairman, and the
Wilson Club, Alderman Richard J.
Calvin, president.
Congressman Hughes is secured for
this occasion by Congressman Scully,
who is personal friend of the Pat
erson candidate for the older house
at Washington, D. G. Mr.. Hughes
polled a good, round plurality in the
third district, with Mr.. Scully's as
sistance, on September "a and states
that he is only too glad to have the
opportunity of addressing the DEM
ocratic voters of this section. Sem
ator Gore is one of the greatest men
of the age, and will undoubtedly
prove a great drawing card for the
Wilson Club. He has been blind for
years, but, with this failing, has
climbed the ladder Of success with
astonishing bounds. He was one of
| the Wilson managers at the Balti-
more convention.

will be pursued If the enthusiasm at
