WANT THIS CITY.
REPRESENTED
Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Association Soon to Meet.

Owing to Perth Amboy's situation,
Acting Mayor Ferd. Garretson is be-
ing urged to be present, or have a
representative at the fifth annual
convention of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association, to be held at
New London, Conn, September A, b
and 6. The principal subject of dis
cussion will be progress for a con-
tinuous inland waterway to accom-
modate m along the Atlantic
seaboard. AS it is proposed to ex-
tend the line by means of the New
Jersey Ship Canal across h state
from Philadelphia to near this city,
Perth Amboy should be deeply inter-
ested, the promoters state.
United States Army engineers
have reported upon the project and
provision has already been made for
carrying it from below Cape Hatteras
up the head waters of Chesapeake
bay. The convention is to mark a
turning point in the course of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associa-
ton. Five years ago it sketched out
a project for inland water communl-
cation from New England below
Cape Hatteras. Then southern peo-
pie joined hands to extend the plan
to Florida waters.
Wilfred II. Schoff, secretary and
treasurer of the association, offers
this information in a letter of invita-
ton to attend the convention to
Acting Mayor Garretson.

WHAT ONE GIRL
DID WITH So
Finery and Went to
Boynton Beach.

Eight stolen dollars went to make
eleven-year-old Bertha Boyer, of 269
Barclay street, about the happiest
girl in the city yesterday. She
bought all sorts of trinkets in five
and ten cent stores, purchased ice
cream, candy and sodas and had a
days outing at Boynton Beach with
the money. There was a different
story to tell as the little girl sat, a
prisoner, beside the spoils on a
bench in police court this morning.
She reluctantly told the story of her
escapade that followed the theft of
So from the home of Mrs. William
c. Lydiard, at 210 High street,
where she had worked for less than
two days. Only her age saved her
from a prison term, as neither her
mother nor sisters and brothers
could make good the loss. Recorder
Kehoe stated later today that he
could not send the girl to jail be-
cause of her age and declared that
Somebody would make good. The
inference was that he would pay,
but he positively declined to have a
word mentioned about it.
1t was the first position Bertha
ever had and the result SO frighten-
ed her mother that she dare not let
her GO elsewhere to work for fear
she may repeat the crime. The
court at first suggested that she work
1t off, but the mother dared not let
her. Bertha is the youngest of
three girls in a family where there
are a mother and two sons besides
the girls. The father died about
two years ago. Mrs. Boyer said she
had been striving to get enough to
eat for herself and children and de-
clared she was utterly unable to re-
turn the So her daughter had stolen.
The theft was committed yester-
day afternoon in the Lydiard home
Mrs. Lydiard was out shop
ping. The girl had been left at work
some dishes. According to the
she took the money, all there
was in a drawer in a sideboard, and
left the house. When Mrs. Lydiard
returned she found the girl had
done very little of the work assign
ed, had taken the money and dis

cent stores and purchased various
kinds of cheap pocketbooks, breast
pins and other cheap jewelry, a hat,
balloon and ticker, a miniature
dresser and other toys, and had pur-
chased some ice cream, sodas and
candy. After that she went to Boyn-
ton Beach, rode on the merry-go-
round so many times she could not
count them, had her picture taken,
took several chances and won some
more cheap jewelry and purchased
refreshments. When she got through
she had ten cents in cash.

IlT WONDER if am never goin

IkV WONDER if I am never going
to win ball game" was the
plaintive query of Walter
Miller, when he began to warm up
for yesterdays battle. The aver
age man who saw the game will
say that his query was answered in
the negative. But if you look in
the big records of the league you
will find that the game goes to the
credit of Walter Miller And this
in spite of the fact that he was
clearly knocked out of the box
The Southern leagues method of
arriving at the decision of which
of two or more pitchers in a game
is entitled to the credit for win
ming is as idiotic as the raVing of a
wild lunatlc If majority of the
league directors could think about
anything at league meetings except
how to have tickets printed and
whether or not 10 use registering
turnsties, or If 5le league president
had an occasional spare minute
from his duties of running Little
Rock and most Of Arkansas to
give to the league, this silly rule
would be changed But they
don't" and he hasn't" and there
YOU are. SO Miller, and not Des-
sau, gets credit for Yesterdays
game, which the Crackers won.
to g.
Miller is the Crackers puzzle
He has pitched just one good
game this season that he Won He
has pitched a few that the team
drizzled away behind him. And
he has pitched few bad ones
Yesterday he pitched bad one
and won which means, maybe,
that he is experiencing a change.
All Atlanta hopes 50, for he is a
popular pitcher and last year could
win games when all the rest of
them were losing.
A RATHER weird feature Of the
game was the fact that the first
two runs scored (and they came
within three innings) were made
on home runs. Charley Hemphill
paid his compliments to Dutch"
Berger first With two gone in the
first inning, he ripped one to the
right hand side of the scoreboard
1t wasn't tremendously long hit
and he certainly earned the tally
The bail was fielded in to Starr,
who made a great throw to the
plate, and nothing but Hemphills
speed made it possible to get home
ahead of the ball
Baiey's hit, which came with no.
body gone in the third inning was
tremendously long. The Cracker
speedster was rounding third base
when the ball began its return trip.
So long was Baileys hit that 1t
suggested "A new rule In case of a
long hit inside the inclosure, why
not let the runner keep right on
going and make FIVE bases if he
can? Let 1t score a run when the
batter reaches home and then let
him get to first if he is fast
enough
This idea Of baseball Marathon
isn't patented and it's all right
with us if they include it In the
rules.

WE'LL DONE

The publication on another page
of this issue of the report OF the
financial committee of the state G..
A. r. encampment rings down the
curtain on one of the most important
and enjoyable events in the history
of Pullman.
1t was big undertaking for the
people Of Pullman to entertain such
a large number of guests, but every
problem was courageously met and
satisfactorily solved and it speaks
volumes for the generosity and patri-
otism of the community that not only
was sufficient money contributed to
meet all expenses without drawing
upon the $500 in the treasury of the
local G. A. r. post, which fund was
pledged in case Of necessity, but that
surplus of $4S.74 was left, which
has been turned over to the post
AS The Herald has remarked be-
fore, all the committees in charge of
the arrangements are entitled to
much credit for their good work, but
a last word of praise is due to the
finance committee and especially to
Secretary Hanson, for the careful
and businesslike manner in which
the finances were handled, which en-
ables the publication Of an itemized
account, showing where every penny
received came from and how it was
spent.
The curtain has fallen upon the
encampment, but its many pleasant
memories will long remain with the
people of this community and its
success will furnish inspiration
when other big undertakings are TO
be faced in the future.
