BUNTENS MAY
OCCUPY SITE
Van PeIt Property Sold
Through Shirley & Blew.

There will be no change this sea-
son in the Van Pelt property on the
water front at the foot of Gordon
street, the ownership Of which
changed hands yesterday, as told in
the EVENING NEWS. The new own
ers, the Raritan Mercantile Com
pany, which is composed of the Bun
ten family, made the purchase in or
der to secure a site where they can
locate when the lease on their pres
ent location expires two years hence.
All the tenants on the Van Pelt
property have renewe their leases
for the present year and the boat
house will be operated by w. f..
Van Pelt for the summer.
The sale of this property is one of
the largest real estate deals that has
taken place here in some time. 1t
was made entirely through the firm
of Shirley & Blew, and not through
Burke & Bolger, as was stated yes
terday. Shirley G Blew have had
charge of this Van Pelt property
for some time. Burke & Bolger, as
representatives for the Raritan Mer-
camille Company, have been en-
deavoring to raise the purchase price
for the Van Pelt property since last
September when an option was first
secured through Shirley & Blew. 1t
was through the efforts of Mr.. Shir-
ley that it was finally agreed to &C
cept the Park avenue property as
part payment. There were many
other minor matters arranged by
Shirley & Blew before the deal was
finally closed Yesterday.
The following communication
from w. f. Van Pelt refutes the
statement given out by Burke &
Bolger yesterday regarding the sale:
Perth Amboy, N. J.. Mar. 20, ~.
Perth Amboy EVENING NEWS Co.,
City.
Gentlemen: I notice in today's
issue of the NEWS an account of the
sale of my water front property to
the Raritan Mercantile Company.
Your account states that the sale was
made and the title cleared by the
real estate firm of Burke & Bolger.
/ wish to state that that firm had
no part in that transaction. The
sale and exchange of properties was
arranged by, the real estate firm oi
Shirley & Blew, and the clearing of
the title was attended to by the law
firm of Kehoe & Stremlau. slease
make this correction in yor t is
sue, and oblige.
Very truly yours,
w. r. VAN PELT.
p. Sd make this statement not
out of any disrespect for Messrs.

Miss B. MI Bamber Will
Leave to Take Charge of
Larger Institution.
TAKES EFFECT, MAY IS
Change Is Said to be Big

NO SUCCESSOR CHOSEN
Governors Inspect Building
Last Night and Plan for
Annual Commencement.

Miss Beatrice M. Bamber, for the
past ten years superintendent of the
city hospital, has resigned to take
effect May 10, next. Although 1t
had been known for the past few
weeks that she contemplated leav-
ing this city to take charge of a
much larger institution, her resig-
nation was officially rendered and ac-
cepted at meeting of the Board OF
Managers OF the City Hospital at the
institution last night. The board
took up other subjects, among which
were the preparations of plans for
commencement exercises and making
extensions and improvements to the
hospital building. The proposed
new nurses home was also taken up
for discussion.
1t Is with regret to most members
OF the hospital association, the
Board OF Governors and the Board
of Managers that Miss Bamber
leaves. She was we'll liked, and
highly praised by the staff of phys
icians of the institution They pro-
nounced her thoroughly efficient In
hoapttal work and have expressed
themselves as highly pleased and
ETdITuSQ ludl Su6 6bdJOO lCi 2 do AOA b
as she. did President South r. Far
ringten, OF the hospital association,
when seen today was loud in his
praise for the present superintend-
ent. He maintained that woman
who worked as efficiently as she did
and took charge of things as she has
done In the local hospital and rose
high In the esteem of members OF the
State Nurses Association, so high
as to be chosen president and asked
to accept a second term. was deserv-
ing of much credit.
Miss Bamber says she cannot tell
at atpfesents where she iss going, the
one she Is to succeed has not been
notgfied as yet of the change. She
would not even divuige the name Of
the city she centempIates going to.
1t is understood from all reports
that the change Is a big promotion
for Miss Bamber, as 1t is declared
she is going to a big hospital in a
city several times larger than this
one.
Members of the Board of Manag-
ers made al inspection of the hos
pital building and of the site for the
proposed uTses' home last night.
They noted that few minor inn
provements were needed in the insti-
tuition. After discussing the nurses
home, the managing committee took
up the subject of hospital improve
ments. Action on these will proba-
bly, be taken after funds have been
provided for the nurses home, as 1t
is proposed to make an extension to
the hospital building, it being de-
ciared the present building is not
large enough to accommodate the in
fiux at times.
Five nurses will graduate at the
coming commencement exercises,
for which plans were started last
night.

London. March 26:-Following
another futile conference between
the unsca committee and representa-
tives Of the mine owners one of the
leading operators today declared
there was no hope for settlement.
Gloom prevails over the country
today, 1t having come to all classes
that there is no chance at present of
ending the strike. It has become q
contest Of endurance with both sides
claiming the other must give in. The
miners claim they are able to hold
out for at least fortnight longer.
The condition is such that starvation
is facing everyone, especially the
women and children. Soup kitchens
in all the affected districts are over
crowded. Many persons are reported
pawning furniture, their own and
their children's clothes to buy food.
