South Amboy, July 23:-There
were about one hundred persons
present at the mass meeting in the
city hall last evening to give voice
to their sentiment in regard to the
action Of the Board of Education in
the proposed addition to and altera-
tons of the public schools. The
meeting was not called to order un-
til about $40 P. M. ]. F. Fulton
was made chairman. F. l. Suits
was chosen secretary.
Mr.. Fulton stated the object Of
the meeting as he had learned it
from reading the papers and asked
the pleasure Of the meeting. Sam
uel Locker stated in order that the
meeting might take a specific turn
he would offer a resolution. 1t was
as follows:
Whereas, A large proportion Of
the taxpayers present and represent
ed at a public meeting held in the
city hall, South Amboy, this 22nd
day of July, 1912, for the purpose of
giving public expression to an open
protest r gainst the extraordinary
course pursued by our Board of
Education in regard to alterations
and enlargement of our public
schools, do hereby express u be-
lief that the course intended to be
pursued is both unwise, unwarrant-
ed, un~businesslike and will result in
a costly outlay of public money for
which the city will receive no ade-
quate return;
And we further belive that in
taking this course against the open
expression or public sentiment voic-
ed at a previous mass meeting and
against the advice and Judgment of
the city council and also in opposi-
ton to the advice and counsel of
both the State Board of Education
and the County Superintendent of
Public Schools, that the board had
reasonable cause to doubt the cor
rectness Of this judgemnt and should
have paused to consider well the re-
sponsibility they were assuming;
and we further believe that in not
doing so they fell short in their duty
to the taxpayers and did not well
consider the public interest;
And, Whereas, We further be-
Iieve that the records show that the
obstinant course of the Board OF
Education vas only made possible
by the vote of one member Of the
Board OF Estimate whose vote only
gave a majority Of n upon the
resolution asking for the appropria-
tion; and whereas we further believe
chat by reason of the alleged per-
scSnal interest of said member in the
ptSSose~of and part Of the Board of
Estimate as we'll as in the plans Of
the Board of Education at the time
OF his appointment to the said
Board of Estimate, that he was dis
qualified from serving thereon, and
by reason of disqualification the vote
of said member was Illegal and
ought not to have been counted,
thus leaving the vote Of the Board
OF Estimate a tie, the way we fully
believe it now legally stands;
And, Whereas, We firmly believe
there is no legal warrant under these
circumstances for any appropriation
being made for said building pur-
poses and that the city council has
no authority under such circum-

At JAMESBURC
Address Made by Prominent
Speakers to New York Crowd

Jamesburg, July 23.-Over five
hundred people turned out to the in
auguration ceremonies of Greater
J~amesburg conducted by the New
Jersey Realty company Saturday af-
ternoon. Great enthusiasm was dis
played and the movement received
an suspicious beginning.
In a big tent, erected especially
for the occasion, thee rowd which
came by special train from New York
listened to excellent addresses by
the Honorable John Green Brady, ex-
governor of Alaska, the Honorable
George J. Corey, late ambassador to
Holland, and by Mr.. Willard Dear
mold, president of the Feel Motor
Truck Company, which is about to
erect a large factory on the new
tract.
Ground was broken for the new
motor truck factory. The founda-
tions of the Comfort Shoe factory
are already laid, and it is hoped to
have the factory in operation before
the winter.
In his address Mr.. Brady quoted
from the Book of Nehemiah, advising
his audience to take example from
the work of the ancient prophet, and
to cooperate old inhabitants with
new corners to build a greater
J~amesburg. Mr.. Corey dwelt on
the point that the only way to build
a new community was by allowing
each man to own his home. Every
factory employer who had tried to
induce his employees to dwell In rent
ed houses had failed of his purpose
in building up a permanent pros
porous community,

AUTOISTS RAN
into THE POLE
Dangerous Place in South
Amboy Left Without Lights
Special to the EVENING NEWS,

South Amboy, July 23.-Two auto
mobiles ran into the excavation at
Broadway and Main street last night,
doing more or less damage, although
as far as a be learned no one was
hurt. In one of the machines were
three ladies and two men. In the
other machine were three men.
The accidents were due to the fact
that no lights were placed at the
excavation to warn tibet ravelers of
the danger. Even in daylight 1t is
difficult to get through, being nee
essary to run close to the north side
of the street. With no lights at
night, there is nothing to prevent a
person runnig into the hole. The
question arises, who would be liable
should a serious accident occur due
to this neglect?

Carmelo MilaZ, strikebreaker.
was shot in the back as he was
fleeing from the disturbance. The
strikers assert that the police
were responsible, one of their
number mistaking Milaz for a
striker. This the police deny.
One of the first three strikers ar
rested held a revolver in his
hand.
The strikers, including both
sexes, then formed in line, intend
ing to march through the streets
as a protest to the action of the
police. When the procession was
formed, the police interfered In
no way, neither were the march
ers ordered to disperse. Instead,
IT'S police gathered, and with
drawn clubs awaited the arrival
of the marchers at Jackson street.
Up to this time the marchers had
no been molested.
Suddenly the order was given
to charge, and the police swarmed
among the strikers. raining blow
after blow on their heads, re-
gardless of sex. Scores of women
and girls were knocked down, the
police tramping over their pros
trate bodies in an effort to get at
other victims. A number of the
women were so seriously injured
that they had to be sent to hospi-
tails for treatment. The clubbing
of women and girls continued I'M
til the procession was forced from
Jackson street and turned into the
Common. Here the strikers join
ed in the "Marsellaise," and after
singing other patriotic songs,
quietly dispersed and went to their
homes.
Evidently dissatisfied with their
work, the police after the strikers
had dispersed, boarded automo-
biles, rushed ahead and again
charged groups of strikers, as they
were going quietly to their homes.
Why are you doing this?" a
woman asked.
I'VE are violating no law. For
Gods sake let us go quietly home.
Our children are waiting for US.
Please let us alone"
The only answer was a COM
mand by the officer in charge to
"beat the women on the breast
and hips. Hit the men anywhere
but don't break the heads of the
women"
Little attention, however, was
paid to this order, the heads of
scores of women being broken.
Again the strikers retreated and
again the police charged. The re-
treat of the strikers covered seven
blocks along Essex street, the po-
lice making several charges in
leach block.
Despite the clubbing, some of
the men, women and children
continued their march, singing.
After each attack they calmly
reformed in line and marched to-
ward their homes.
