To STRAICHTEN
AMB0Y AVENUE
Aim to Change Route at
Crookes Crossing.

The matter Of changing the grade
and route of Amboy avenue at Great
Kills so as to do away with the dam
gerous Crooke's crossing of the
Staten Island Railway at that place,
after some warm arguments before
the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment last Thursday, was post
poned for further action for two
weeks. Borough President Cromwell
and his engineers have not only
planned to do away with Crooke's
crossing, but have devised a scheme
to make a great change in the route
of Amboy avenue over which auto
mobiles enroute to the coast and
other places pass. The idea Is to
straighten the road at that place.
This it Is said will damage the prop
erty OF several residents, including
that Of Charles A. Schultz, formerly
president of the Richmond County
Automobile Club, who has a beauti-
full place at Great Kills. The plan
If carried will loop off much of
the front of his property. Residents
OF Great Kills are up in arms and
will fight the scheme to the limit.

bury Park Others Follow.

Asbury Park. April 22:-The Roose-
welt campaign in Monmouth county
was opened in this city last week with
the organization of a league.
roosevelt is a sure winner In the
county if there is any certainty in the
forecasting of county Republican lead
ers. Former Sheriff Clarence f. F.
Hetrick, who launched the Roosevelt
movement in Monmouth, declared that
he had made a canvass of the members
of the Republican county committee. of
which he is chairman, and that in sixty
answers, out of a possible ninety,
Roosevelt is favored two to one for
Taft.
e. William Treat was named perman-
emit chairman Of the local league, r. A.
Tusting, vice chairman; William A.
Berry, treasurer, and John A. Citizens,
Jr., secretary. Sheriff Hetrick and Mr..
Citizens acted as temporary chairman
and secretary, respectively, before a
permanent organization was effected.
There were representative Republi-
cans present from Belmar, Spring Lake,
Wall and other down coast districts.
besides many prominent business men,
professional men and politicians from
this city.
s1Among those who spoke were J. G..
Coleman, R. A. Tusting, Sheriff Het-
rick, William Rogers, Y. J. Winkler,
Francis |. Jones, Mr.. Jackson of Bel
mar, Mr.. Nesbit of Spring Lake, Mr..
Berry and others
Mr. Hetrick declared that from for
mer Freebooter Elmer Polhemus he
had been assured that the farmers in
the great districts in the back coun-
ty are out and out for Roosevelt. In
Long Branch such men as 3. B. New
comb, a candidate for city commits
%sioner; DIR. Clark and ex-NTayor Charles
o. MacFadden are supporters Of the
colonel.
The Asbury Park organization, being
the first in the field in old Monmouth,
likely will be made the parent organi-
cation. Strong organization committees
are to be named by Chairman Treat
and Mr.. Hetrick has volunteered to as
sist in the county organization. A COM
mittee to be named will take under ad-
visement the selection of candidates
for delegates to support Roosevelt at
the convention.
The local league now has a member
ship of $50. This strong showing has
been obtained without effort. Member

pected to greatly increase the roll be-
fore the next meeting, which will be
called by the chairman. Arrangements
are being made for a great county
rally here, when some prominent speak
err will address the meeting.

MONMOUTH COUNTY NEWS
OF POTATOES TO
BE LOW is PREDICTION
Specid, TO the EVENING NEWS.

Freneau, April 22:-The high
price of potatoes last year has caused
farmers in all parts of the country
to plant big fields of potatoes this
year. Farm reports from all over
the United States show that never
before has there been so great an
acreage planted in potatoes as this
year. The indications are that the
price will be low this year. Still, it
may happen that the potato crop in
many sections of the country will
again be a failure. If it is, and the
crop is good in Monmouth county,
Monmouth's farmers will have an
other rear of big money.
