THIRD WARD MEN
FIGHT FOR PARK
Call Ward Meeting for Friday
Night to Urge the
Project

Residents Of the Third ward have
called citizens meeting to be held
on Friday night in General Pulaski
Hall, Second and Justison streets to
discuss the question of a park for
that ward. Members OF the Park
Commission and City Council will be
invited to attend the meeting and it
is possible that some of them will.
II appears that a majority of the
residents Of the ward favor the pur-
chase Of the piece of ground, the
site Of the United Leather Companys
plant at Fourth and Monroe streets
for a park and playground, but there
seems to be a feeling upon the part
Of some Of the members of the Park
Board to locate park elsewhere. It
is known that President William p.
Bancroft OF the Park Board. favors
the acquisition Of the piece of ground
at the southeast corner Of Third and
West stress, running along West to
Second. and along Third to Wash
ing.on. excepting the row Of new
houses erected along Third street, the
Walters estate in that block having
been donated with the provision that
the ground be made q park. Some
of the members of the board also favor
the purchase of the piece of ground
at Conrad and Jackson streets for a
playground. believing that these two
parks should serve the First. Third
and Tenth wards. The Third ward
residents have diffe elt views, how
ever, and will make a fight for the
Fourth and Monroe streets site.
Another site suggested for a play
ground in the First ward is the Nc
Mahon building. at the southwest cor
ner of Third and Orange streets.
Councilman Edward A. Higgins. Of
the Third ward, is working hard for a
park for his ward and at the last
meeting of the Park Board IL was sug-
gested that he attempt to get a re-
duction on the price for the ground at
Fou tn and Monroe streets, the price
asked at that time by d. l.. Levy. the
owner being $4,000. Mr.. Higgins has
since had a conference with Mr.. Levy
and said the owner had agreed to
reduce the price to 100000 This new
price will probably be submitted to
the members of Council in the COM
mittee meeting tonight

Narmimes. who was with Colodi when
he visited the Atlas Club, tasted the
whiskey and said il was wine and
Whiskey mixed This caused a laugh
and Assistant City Solicitor Lynn

Colodi said the Atlas Club house

duced papers to show that il was.

KNOCKED DOWN
BYAUTOMOBILE
Steps from in Back of Wagon
Slightly Hurt.

In walking from behind an ice
wagon directly in the path of an au-
tomobile on State street about 100
feet north of Commerce street Satur-
day afternoon, Ike Frankel, of SEQ
Neville street, was knocked down and
experienced a narrow escape from Sc
rious injury. He was struck by an
automobile bearing license No. H.
985 and driven by George W. Taylor
of PAP Orchard street, Elizabeth.
DIR. NJ. S. Meinzer dressed his injuries
which were principally bruises.
Taylor was driving south on State
street at the time. According to the
testimony of eye witnesses obtained
by Patrolman Quinlan, Frankel was
ut fault. in neglecting to be careful
and seeing what vehicles were near
as he stepped from behind an ice
wagon. Officer Quinlan assisted
Taylor in taking Frankel to DR.. Mein-
7er's office for medical treatment.
The autoist took the man home after
ward. Witnesses declare Frankel
was indeed fortunate that Taylor
rsed presence of mind as he did ord
did not run over him. Among he
spectators were A. Snartz. of 1856
State street and Frank Hurley.

NAVAL PARADE
DESIRED HERE
Congressman ScuIIy Will AS
Chances Are Siiqht.

In an effort to secure a naval
parade for Perth Amboy, an appeal
has been sent to Congressman
Thomas j. Scully, of South Amboy,
to use his influence with the Secre-
tary of the Navy and induce that
official to order a number of smaller
crafts to steam through the local
waters during the mobilization of
the doughty fleet of Uncle Sam IN
New York bay on October IL, if
possible. Mr.. Scully informed the
NEWS reporter that he will do his
utmost to accomplish the desired
result, but he does not believe he
will be successful for various rea-
sons.
According to the plan proposed to
Mr.. Scully it would be the biggest
thing of the city's existence to be
honored by the United States navy.
Of the 1913 boats scheduled to as
semble in New York harbor, forty
eve are of such draught that they
car. pass through the local waters at
low tide. The channel off this city
is twenty-three feet deep at high
tide, off buoy eight, which is the
most dangerous point in this vicin-
ity, and nineteen feet deep at low
tide. AS said, f~orty-seven of the
boats scheduled to assemble in New
York next month have a draught OF
forty-seven feet or less, therefore
they would be well situated to steam
through the Raritan bay and Arthur
Kill on their trip to and from the
mobilization.
There are several reasons why
Congressman Scully believes that it
will be impossible to secure the at
traction at this time. In the first
place he says that the time allotted
to secure the change in arrange
ments to order the boats through
the local waters is not sufficient.
Secondly, the Republicans in the
navy department would counterfeit
all attempts made by Congressman
Scully with the startling declaration
that the third district congressman
is requesting the favor but for no
other reason than to impress the
people Of his district with his poll
tical power at Washington, d. c.,
and thus add many votes to his
total on November 5.
1t has also been advanced that if
an attempt is made to secure this
feature and it is unsuccessful it can
be used as capital in the attempts
now under way to secure better
water facilities, such as an enlarged
channel, etc, for this vicinity. 1t is
believed by many that the war de-
partment, when requested by Con-
gresham Scully, will ridicule the
idea on the ground that the channel
off Perth Amboy is not of sufficient
depth to enable the ships to pass
without accident.

AN EMBOSSED
CONVENT TON
Is DEMANDED
Governor Wilson Makes
Statement Regarding the
New York State Ticket.
INDICATE PARTY
Says Democracy Is Ready to
Choose Progressive If Del
eqatss Are Let Alone.

Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. Ex-Governor
Wilson In a dictated statement said
The whole country demands that the
New York Democracy be left free to
make it's own choice in the state o
vention, and he added that the Democ-
racy is ready to choose Il progressive
man OF a kind to be his own master"
This definition of his attitude to-
ward the convention is the reply of
Governor Wilson to those who have
been urging him to attack the leader
of Tammany Hall.
Since the meeting of the Democratic
state committee at Syracuse on Sept.
IL. when Governor Wilson made it
very plain to Governor Dix and Mr.
Murphy that he would not permit
them to use him for the purpose Of
circulating the impression that he ia
vored the nomination of the governor.
he has made no comment ON the situa-
ton in the Empire State.
Here Is what Governor Wilson said
last night:
81 have been looking forward TO the
Syracuse convention with the deepest
interest because | realize its critical
Importance to the party throughout
the nation. and | have made my own
opinion with regard to it very plain to
every friend from New York who has
done me the honor to consult me.
1.-THE very principle to which hold
myself bound, both in speech and ac-
ton, justiies me in saying the whole
country demands and expects the
Democracy of New York be left abso-
lutely free to make its w choice |
believe that it is ready to choose a
progressive MAJ Of a kind to he his
own master and to adopt a platform to
which men of progressive principles
everywhere can heartily subscribe If
only left free from personal control of
any sort. The organized Democrats Of
the great state of New York are ready
to serve the nation and to servt 1t
with intelligence. They need no di-
rection from the governor of another
state. ever though he be the candidate
Of his party for the presidency.
at is seldom organs that are at
fault. 1t Is those who attempt to die
tate their action. No intelligent party
leader can justify or wisely or even
inteIligently condemn or reject the
open and honest organization by which
alone parties can be held TO concerted
action. but he can and must do every
thing In his power to keep them free
and unhossed.
"The Democracy of New York is at
a critical turning point in its history
The whole country awaits its acton
at Syracuse with deep attention ana
concern. Democrats everywhere look
to 1t to set an example and vindicate
the fair nam of the party. They Will
feel the chill and discouragements
very keenly If 1t should fail them and
will he stirred by added hope and en-,
thusiasm If it should accomplish what
is expected Of 1t. 1t will not do for
the choice Of the convention at SYRIA
cuse to be any less free than that
which gave the third party Mr.. StraHs
and the regular Republican party MIR.
