Aldermen Will Be Asked to Instruct
Mayor to Hold One to Decide on
Bond Issue.
USE SINKING FUND MONIES
City Can Buy its Own Paper Thus
Using Money Which Would Lie
Idle for Three Years.

II plans made at the joint meeting
| OF the Commercial club and city
| council committees last night in the
Commercial club rooms do not mis-
carry, the council, at its next meet
Ing, will be asked to call a special
election for the voting of bonds to
pave the street running to Nymore.
The two committees agreed last
night that the street should be paved
from the M. and l. freight depot on
Bemidji avenue where it will con-
meet with other paving, to the city
limits. The city line is at the first
railroad crossing east of the yards of
the Crookston Lumber company. It
is proposed to make the pavement of
cement, similar to those laid in Be-
midi last summer, and to construct
highway twenty feet wide.
) Estimates on the cost. OF the i'm
proyement range from $4,000 to
$4,000. One half of this will be
paid by the city, and the other half
by the M. and I. railroad and the
fCrookston Lumber company. Rail-
road right of way cannot be assessed
for such improvements but the land
in question lies on the north side of
the road and is leased by the Crook
ston Lumber company as ground for
piling lumber.
From the city limits to the center
of Nymore village, the road drops
down on six or seven per cent
grade and makes the hauling hard for
about one-quarter of mile. It has
been suggested that Nymore pave the
road from the railroad tracks into
Nymore, thus giving paved street
over 5000 feet long leading east for
Bemidji.
The next council meeting will be
held Monday evening, June 8, at
which time resolution will be intro
duced instructing the mayor to call
a special election to vote on a bond
issue of an amount to be decided by
that time. If this resolution passes
the council, and present indications
are that it will, the election will be
called at once and the matter speedily
settled.
1t was suggested last night that
the city handle the proposed bond is
sue itself, taking the money from the
sinking fund. The sinking fund at
present has enough on hand to fin
ance the proposition and will not
need the money for three years. The
city can issue bonds of the improve
ment revolving fund to local bank
and then buy the bonds as an invest
ment for the sinking fund. In this
manner the city will save itself the
interest money on the bond issue, as
otherwise the sinking fund money
will be lying idle for several years.
The meeting of the two committees
was well attended by others interest
ed in the matter and the general SEN
timent appeared to be in favor of
paving the street.

BOARD REFUSES TO ALLOW
DANCE In NEW SCHOOL

A reouest made by some of the
High School alumni, of Bloomheio,
to use the gymnasium for dancing
was refused by the Board of Educa
ton al a meeting last night. the
board alleging that the new school Is
not finished yet and that the use oil
any part of 1t might constitute a
virtual acceptance of the building as
finished. The alumni. however, will
continue to seek the necessary per-
mission, and a petition will soon be
circulated throughout the town in
order that the use of the gym" may
be used for dancing as soon as the
building is accepted by the authori-
tics. The board has opposed the
idea of making use of school looms
for such purposes, but many of the
members appointed by Mayor Haul
ser are now favorably inclined
toward the plan.
The Town Improvement Associa-
ton. with a membership of more
than 500 ladies of Bloomfield, en-
deavored to secure the boards o
sent to hold a fair in the basement
of the new $3.50, 900 High School build
ing, but this request was also re-
fused because Of the unfinished con
dition of the structure.

GEORGE r. WlLTSE,
PITCHER

Brother George, as George ((Hooks)
wiltse, the veteran southpaw of the
Giants is known, got his start in base
ball simply because he was the
brother of Lew Wiltse. who was
twirling for the Athletics in the
American League at the time George
decided to play ball for a living.
Strange as it may seem, the Wiltse
brothers are not only as much alike
In looks as two peas in a pod, but they
have the same actions in every way
on the ball field.
Both of the Wiltses were s~outhpaws.
who twirled with a peculiar snap, both
hit right-handed, they walk alike, run
alike and catch a ball in the same
manner.
George got his start on the Scranton
Club Of the Pennsylvania League in
1902. when Brother Lew was twirling
with the Athletics. This league went
up a few days after Wiltse Joined
Scranton, and George went to Troy
of the New York League. He finished
up that season and remained with
Troy until the fall of 1903, when he
was purchased by the Giants. While
in the minor leagues Wiltse, although
a left-hander, played every position
on the team, excepting catcher, in 1903.
Wiltse was born in Hamilton, N. Y,
September 8. 1880. He stands six feet
in height and weighs about ITO pounds
when in condition. He bats right
handed.

GIVE THEIR SKIN
TO SAVE C0MRADE
Two Firemen Submit to Graft
ing Operation in Or
ange Hospital.

As a result of an unusual operation
which was performed in st. Mary's
Hospital, Orange. yesterday, in which
two East Orange fremen allowed
parts of their skin to be grated on
thai of another, physicians at the in
Samuelson will regain the use of his
right leg. Had the fellow fire-fighters
not consented to give up their skin
amputation Of Samuelson's leg would
have been necessary,
Fireman Samuelson's leg was horri-
bly, mangled recently when a siX-ton
truck passed over the member. Prac-
tically all of the skin of the leg was
either torn off or had to be removed.
Physicians at the hospital announced
hat unless skin from some healthy
person be grated on the leg where
Samuelson's skin had been torn off
gangrene would develop, and in order
TO save the mans life amputation
of the leg would be necessary.
Friendship for the injured man. who
10 dA CAttCNih5lA PolhAai
Chemical Company No. 2, prompted
Captain Harry ELAN and Fireman
Samuel Coen, also members of the
| company, to volunteer to give uI
some of their skin.
The operation was performed by DIR
Leonard Smith and DR.. w. III. War
ner. both of East Orange. Skin was
taken from parts of the legs of botf
| ELAN and Coen and transferred to
Samuelson's injured leg.
The physicians express satisfaction
at the result and are confident thai
the injured mans leg will be suffi-
| GENTLY strong to enable him to bt
about again in a short time. Captain
ELAN and Fireman Coen are beinf
heaped with concentrations for theil
brave and friendly act.

CHARLES L. HERZOG,
THIRD BASE

Probably the most famous thing
Charley Herzog ever did was to
develop Frank Baker, the brilliant
third baseman of the Athletics. Her.
zog gave Baker his first salary as a
ball player at Snow Hill, Md, and
placed Frank on third base.
Herzog became prominent as the
manager of several independent ciuos
In the Cumberland valley. and was
known as the best infielder In SEMI
pro ranks in that locality.
In 1907 the Reading Tri-State League
Club gave him q trial at third base,
and Herzog Immediately made good.
After one brilliant season in the TIL
State the New York Giants drafted
HeEzog. and he acted as a substitute
the middle of the 1910 season, when he
was sem to Boston in exchange FOR
Al Bridwell.
He played third base at Boston for
q time. but was considered a failure
at that position and was moved to
short. At short he proved q star. and
Manager McGraw, who had allowed
him to drift away n year ago,
sought him in a trade. Strange to say,
when Herzog was finally secured by
the Giants this season McGraw was
forced to not only give back Bridwell,
but First Baseman Gowdy as we'll.
Herzog was used at short for a
time. but was finally switched over
to third base in place of the veteran
Arthur Devlin, while Fletcher moved
over to short. His work at third base
for the Giants has been high class.
He first saw the light of day at Cam
bridge, Md, q years ago, and is a
right-handed thrower and batter.
Herzog stands 5 feet z inches in height
and weighs 155 pounds.
