DEMOCRATIC CLAMBAKE.
TO BE AT NICKENIC'S|

The clam bake committee of the
Wilson club, of which Patrick J..
Rocks is chairman, will report to the
club tomorrow night that the most
avorable place in this vicinity at
which to hold thep roposed clam
bake is Nickenig's grove, in Upper
State street, this city. The commit
tee declares that 1t has taken into
consideration the desire of the club
to make the event of county import
ance, and have made partial ar
engagements with the proprietor Of
the grove whereby an enormous
crowd can be accommodated at the
spread, which will be a typical old
fashioned Rhode Island clam bake,
1t is reported.
Owing to the numerous questions
of Importance to be decided tomor-
row night at the adjourned meeting
of the club, every Democrat in town
is urged to attend and add his sup
port to the general movement to
elect Governor Woodrow Wilson, the
Democratic nominee, President of
the United States.

MORE STONES
AT THE TRAINS
Railroad and Local Authori.
ties Working Together.

Stone throwing by boys at passen-
ger trains in the vicinity of the Hall
venue bridge has become SO great
a to passengers on the Cen
trail and Pennsylvania lines that rail-
road detectives and the local police
are working as they never have been
before in a concerted effort to round
up the miscreants. At intervals
ranging from a day to a week for
the past few years boys have thrown
stones at passenger and freight
trains passing Hall avenue on the
Central road. The climax was
capped last Thursday when a boy
hurled a large stone through a win
dow in a coach of Central passenger
train No. SO and injured a traveller.
The man was severely cut about the
face by fragments of flying glass and
sustained a scalp wound.
The incident caused Chief of Pc
lice Gray, of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, to take an active
hand in a crusade against the prac-
tice. He conferred with the local
police on the subject Friday. Arrests
are expected within the next few
weeks.

new BRUNSWICK COLD
TO BULL MOOSE PARTY

New Brunswick, July 22.-That
the Bull Moose" party is not thriv-
ing any too well in Middlesex coun-
ty is evident. Ae the present time
Adrian Lyon, of Perth Amboy, for
mer county judge and former mem
Der of the Assembly, seems to con-
stitute the militant force of that
party in Middlesex. Before the Chi
cago convention was held the former
Judge did have H. Raymond Groves,
likewise q former Assemblyman, en-
listed in the Colonel's cause, and
Russell Watson, former assistant
prosecutor of the pleas, was looked
upon as a ct. R." man. Now, how
ever, Mr.. Lyon has no Republicans
of note in the county willing to be
publicly identified with the third
party movement.
Naturally, Judge Lyon would be
glad to have a better representation
to attend the State convention on
Tuesday at Asbury Park. 1t is true
hat he has some lesser lights" of
the Republican party of that city,
who do not mind being identified
among the supporters of Colonel
Roosevelt, but 1t would be more sat
isfactory if some of the county lead
ers could be induced to give the
movement their sanction.
There are seemingly a lot of Re
publicans of the same feeling as
former Governor stokes. He was en-
thusiastio for Roosevelt before the
Chicago convention, but now he is
going to remain within the ranks of
the party, and the Bull Moose"
movement will not have his moral
or financial support. This is ex-
actly the attitude of the Republican
leareds in Middlesex county, except
In the cas- of former Judge Lyon,
and a few of his faithful though less
prominent followers in his home
town, Because of this lack of inter-
est 1t Is evident that the third party
movement will not cut much figure

INTEREST ON
WATER BILLS
Consumer Beliees Board
May be Guilty of Usury,

Attention is called to the method
of the water board in charging inter
est on water rents in a communica-
ton received by the EVENING
NEWS today. 1t is pointed out that
interest on overdue bills is added al
the rate of As per cent per annum
The writer of the communication
feels that this is excessive, especi-
ally as this charge falls on the par
ties having meters, those paying a
fiat rate are not lacked up 30 fire.
quently and are given more time,
he declares to pay their bill.
The letter al headed "Usury in
Disguise, as Perpetrated by the
Water Commission of Perth Amboy.'
1t will be read with interest by
every taxpayer as well as the mem
bers of the water board. 1t is as
follows:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS
1t may not be commonly known
that Jul honorable water board is
guilty of usury, and the members
thereof perhaps do not realize it,
but such is nevertheless the case as
the writer can attest, having just
paid interest on a water bill at the
rate of 30 per cent per annum.
Usury according to Webster is the
practice of extorting an exorbitant
rate of interest. Anything that is
beyond the or legal rate.
This is how the water board does it:
They do it only on those who have
meters as near as car be understood,
but II you have a meter you must
pay for the water used every three
months. II no meter is used you
have a much mor liberal credit for
some reason or other.
When after three months you re-
ceive a bill for the water metered
and you do not pay promptly within
80 days, 8 per cent will be added
to the bill and If not paid within
60 days 5 per cent additional. This
makes 8 per cent in two months, or
AZ per cent per annum, a rate which
would surely satisfy the most I'M
scrupulous loan shark that ever in
tested a community.
What greatly puzzles the writer
is Just why the water board should
find 1t necessary to impose such pen
alties on consumers who use meters.
Any information which would COW
er this point would be most inter-
estfng to the public and the writer
in particular.

PASTOR WARNS
THE IDLE RICH
Special By United Press Wire.

Boston, Mass, July 22:-Rev. J. E.
Perry, in a sensational sermon yester-
day, warned members of the fashion
able Warren avenue Baptist church,
one of the most exclusive in this dis
trict, that their attitude was deeply re-
sponsible for the spread of socialism,.
Socialism is not simply asking for
bread said the preacher, at pleads
that the soul of man should 90 free.
The reason that the bread is so high
is because SO many people with money
spend it for idle pleasure. We have q
forced civilization, satisfied with it,
wealth and culture, while ninety pei
cent of the people sit hungry on the
edge of a crater.'

Gentlemen: We are writing you in re.
|sponce to your request regarding the ru-
NOR which is now afloat stating that III
the near future Ford Cars are to be sold
for one-thousand dollars.
There is absolutely no truth to this r
Imor. As near as we can figure out, this
was started by our competitors who have
told prospective customers that this re
lduction would take place later on This
matter would cause some people to hold
off placing orders, and this in turn would
give an opening for a competitor to sec
the customers. and possibly secure an or
der. but our best instructions to You, ano
to those who are contemplating buying
Ford cars, is to say that the FORD MO
TOR COMPANY, is not for sale, and a
the present time, the factory is ter
thousand cars behind, and if they expect
to get cars within any reasonable length
of time, they had better place orders now
1--WE hope this will convince prospects.
Yours very truly,
FORD MOTOR COMPANY,
