ONE CHILD TO
CARE FOR NOW
Infant Buried With Mother
Father is Bereaved.

The case in which John 3uchodolska
was rendered without a home from
which to bury his wife on Friday and
his two little children were left desti-
tute because Of neglect, became more
pitiful yesterday when the youngest of
the two children died. The infant
about fifteen days old, was buried with
the mother about 5 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. Interment was. mad> in st.
Stephen's Polish cemetery.
1t is likely that the doubly bereaved
father will take the only surviving
child, about two years of age, with him
to New York and start life anew.
Suchodolska had worked in New York
while his family lived at 169 Hall ave-
nue.. His wife was found on the street
in a dying condition Wednesday after
noon and taken to the city hospital
where she died Friday afternoon. The
children were taken in charge temper
arily by Mr.. and Mrs. John Schrocki.
Herman Brody, Suchodolska's LAND
lord for premises at 80 Hall avenue,
broke in and entered, according to a
warrant issued for his arrest last FRI
day. 1t is charged hat he placed the
household goods on the street and
would not let Suchodolskl hive his
home back, wen for q brief time until
his wife was buried. Brody consented
to let the man have possession again
when he was arraigned Saturday morn
ing.

LOUNCER GETS
TASTE OF LAW
Youth Arrested for Failing
to Obey Cops Orders.

AS the result Of steps taken by the
police to ~keep~store entrances clear of
loungers, one arrest was made last

forts of late in breaking up the prac-

obeyed. The patrolman AYERS the youth
told him he would move in a little
while when he got ready. Following
his refusal to obey the order a second
time he was promptly arrested.

to appear. Under promise to be good
and obey orders from policemen in the

NAME MEN FOR
THREE OFFICES
Socialists in Race for May
or, Recorder, Alderman.

Three candidates for local offices
have been named by the Socialist party,
as follows: for mayor, R. G. Miller; for
recorder, G. B. Petersen; for aldermen,
third ward, Joseph Schwartz. 1t is the
intention of the Socialists to hold a
city and county convention on Septem-
Der 2, at which time candidates will be
named for other offices, it is said.
The Socialists intended to name al
dermanic candidates in other wards, as
well as the third, but an examination
of the membership roster revealed the
alarming fadt that no strong material
from other wards was affiliated with
the Socialist movement. The leaders
expect, however, to make a good show
ing on November 5 and, after one or
two years uphill work, elect one or
more Of their candidates for city OIL
fees. They expect to make a showing,
at least, in the third ward this year.
Mr.. Miller, who is the Socialists can
didate for mayor, is the organizer of
the Hotel Workers union, of New York
and commutes daily. Mr.. Petersen,
candidate for recorder, is a contractor,
while Mr.. Schwartz, who aspires to the
Board of Aldermen, is in the feed busI-
ness. The Socialists met last night in
Union hall and drew up the slate men
toned in the foregoing. H. Altshuler
was named as treasurer, and will make
an earnest canvas of the party's fol-
lowers for the necessary funds to run
the campaign.

LOSE VOTES OF
MANY NEGROES
Opinion of Trenton Colored
Preacher About Roosevelt
from the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, August 1.-THE attitude
of Cololenl Theodore Roosevelt
against the negroes at the Chicago
third party convention will lose him
the vote of thousands of negroes in
New Jersey II the opinion Of DR.. l..
w. L. Roundtree, the negro preacher
politician of this city. For several
years DR.. Roundtree has been II of
the leaders among the colored Repub-
licans Of the state. There are about
$4,000 negro voters in New Jersey.
Discussing the opposition of Roose-
welt to the negro today, DR.. Round
tree said:
THE cSlored people in New Jersey
before the presidential primary in
May were for Roosevelt to a large
extent, but since the Colonel has
drawn the color line, the colored peo-
pie have broken away from him.
They regard Colonel Roosevelt's new
stand as highly inconsistent. For
merly he stood strenuously for the
square deal for the negro, as well
as for other races, and now he aims
to take away the political rights of
the negro. His opposition gives the
colored voters only two alternatives,
which are to support President Taft
or Governor Woodrow Wilson.
ut is clearly seen that what
Roosevelt aimed to do was to ride
into office as President at the ex-
pense of the negroes of the south,
and by DISTINGUISHING them, gain the
southern white vote for himself. |
sincerely hope that every southern
white MAI who has been a Democrat
heretofore will not be caught by this
palpable political trick and will vote
for Wilson. l regard Colonel Roose-
velt's last movement as an attempt
to put the colored people in the south
back fifty years. l am quite conf
dent that the colored voters in the
north will not support Colonel Roose-

EXCISE FIGURES
ARE TABULATED
Civic Union Leader Gives
Some Interesting Facts.

Peter A. Peterson, n of the lead
ers of the Perth Amboy Civic Union,
has compiled a table of figures to
show the present excise conditions in
this city. According to the city rec
ords, Perth Amboy boasts Of 135 re-
tail saloons each paying a license fee
of $3.50 per year, making a total OF
S60,750. In addition to the retail
saloons there exist seventeen bottling
establishments paying a yearly reVe-
nue. of $3.50 besides three wholesale
places which are taxed $500 per year,
making a total of $1,000. from the
excise revenue in this city $65 100 is
collected yearly.
Mr.. Peterson, in an interview with
a NEWS reporter, states that in or
der to exist the saloon keeper must
make a minimum of $1,000 yearly for
the upkeep of his business II fam
lily. AS the total number TO places
numbers 1916 places, then $186,OOO
must be taken in oyer the bar per
year, he says to allow the above
number to exist. This mean that
yearly $251, 900 Is being expended for
license fees and general upkeep with
out figuring the cost of his material
and taxes paid to the federal govern
ment.
After large amounts expended, Mr..
Peterson explains that the saloon
keeper receives the least remunera-
ton, inasmuch as the greedy brewer
les and other wholesale house must
come In for their large percentage of
income. This means, he declares,
that over half a million dollars is
spent yearly by the working men of
this city. The vic organizer further
states hat many of the saloon keep
ers are unable to make a living as
shown by his dealings in his law
practice
AS a matter of argument on the
latter question, Mr.. Peterson cites
that since January 5, 1911, to July l,
1912, there have been over sixty sa-
loon keepers who have transferred
their business. This shows alone,
Mr.. Peterson says, that Perth Amboy
Is suffering from too many rum
shops. Mr.. Peterson, continuing,
claims that many of the local saloon
keepers are making only a small mar
gin above the laborer's pay. Many OF
those who transferred, says Mr.. Pc
terson, are now working for the
wages Of a laboring man.

WILL PROVIDE
FOR THE TRIO
Italian Woman and Children
to Live Here.

Through the efforts of Theo. An
tonic, an appeal has been made to the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
to have Rosina Ippollito, a widow,
and her two children admitted to
this country. The trio arrived in this
country aboard the steamship Saint
William August 2. Upon a decision
of a Board of Special Inquiry, that
they had no visible means of support
here and might become public
charges, they were excluded and de-
ported on August 3. They are now
on their way 0ack to this country.
Carmelo Ippollito, of 355 Madison
avenue, brother Of the woman, had
furnished a home for her and the
children in this city and had planned
to provide for them. P. Francis

for the immigrants, has appealed
from the decision Of the Board of
Special Inquiry. Antonio is not a
relative Of the Ippollito family, but
simply interested as a friend.
