in by the revenue cutter Acushnet.
The vessel was in charge of Robert,

The schooner left South Gardiner,
Me-, on July "a bound for Proyi-
dence, R. l., with 100000 feet of

son at his home, 90 Commerce street,

FEW MISHAPS
TO AUTQ|STS

There was a notable absence OF
any serious accidents over the week
end and Labor Day, due, probably,
to the inclement weather which
made travelling by vehicle, especially
automobile, most undesirable. On
previous week-ends, which were fol
lowed by holidays, the accident lists
have been appalling, but such was
not the case for the last three days
No fatality was reported.
While attempting to avoil collid-
ing with a large automobile truck
owned by the Pabst Brewing Com
pany, car owned and driven by
Frank Dillon, of East Orange, skid
ded and ran into a telegraph pole
The accident occurred at 4:3O
O'Clock Sunday afternoon at the
turnpike between Woodbridge and
Avenel. Mr.. and Mrs. Dillon, who
were the only occupants of the car,
received a bad shaking but sus-
tained no injuries. The front OF
the automobile was damaged
slightly.
Henry Dixon, nineteen years old,
of Kreischerville, S. L., fell from his
Merkle motorcycle at Main street
and Broadway in South Amboy at
about 11:30 O'Clock last night and
received a cash In his forehead
Dixon was passing the crossing In
South Amboy on his way home and
did not notice that repairs were be-
ing made on the tracks. His motor
cycle went between the tracks where
no provision was made for traffic
and, after losing control of the han
die bars, Dixon fell. The motor
cycle was also damaged to a slight
extent.
A new Renault automobile owned
by ]. r. Maxwell skidded against a
curb on State street near Fayette
street Sunday morning, damaging
one Of the wheels. No one was hurt.

homes Of Edward L. Gridley and j..
Donegan in High street were burg
larized the past few days. Much
valuable iewelry, including d1a-
monds, was taken from the latter
place. The owners claim that up to
a late hour they have been unable to
estimate the extent of their loss.
In each case the robbery was com

house were away. Entrance was
gained by forcing rear doors open.

Judge Lyon Talks.

When interviewed today at his law
offices, regarding the Metuchen report,
Judge Lyon dictated the following
statement TO the NEWS reporter;
"T am heart and soul with the Pro
gressive Party, How anyone could
have received the impression to the con-
trary I cannot see. ] should think my
remarks at the meeting of the Roose-
velt Club, of Perth Amboy, last Tues
day night would be sufficient to remove
all doubt, if such exists. cannot i'm
agine why there should have been any
change last Saturday, because left my
Office last Wednesday morning iIllmedt-
ately after the meeting Tuesday night,
and did not return until from my vaca-
tion until late Saturday night. In the
meantime. did not talk politics to any,
one.n
Probable Source of Report.
The report that Judge Lyon is not
heart and soul with the progressives
may have gained strength because Of
that leader s stand on his present party
affiliations. He has repeatedly assert
ed, through the columns of the EVEN
ING NEWS, that he is a progressive
this campaign-for Roosevelt frst,
last and all the time, but considers
himself Republican in every sense of
the word, He has pointed out that in
several states the regular Republican
party is the present progressive party.
He informed the members of the Roose-
welt Club last Tuesday night that he is
with the progressive movement during
the 1912 campaign. "Ae original name
of the local progressive club was the
Roosevelt Republican Club. Judge
Lyon seconded the motion, which
changed the name OF the club from
H Roosevelt Republican" to Roose-
velt Club," and in many other ways has
endeavored to assure his co-workers
that he is out for progressive principles
this year, although some have inferred
that this does not fnd him for all time
In the new party ranks.

, HIGH STREET
HOUSES ROBBED

rance was gained by forcing the rear
cellar door open, then knocking
holes in a door at the top Of the eel
lar stairs, reaching in and unfasten-
ing bolts, after which the door was
opened. The house was ransacked
from top to bottom. Clothes were
streWn about and bureau drawers
were pulled out. OF goods known
to be missing several articles of jew
elry, q bank containing about $500
in cash, a silver handled umbrella
belonging to Mrs. Gridley, and q
sweater and silver watch belonging
to q domestic. The thieves left the
kitchen door open.
Mr.. Donegan saw at glance that
his loss would amount to considera-
BILE, owing to the theft of valuable
jewelry. He believes the thieves
gained entrance by forcing open the
kitchen door. The house was ran
sacked throughout and things were
thrown topsy turvy, probably in ef-
forts to discover only valuables. The
loot taken included much cut glass
ware, two gold watches and other
jewelry,
Mr.. Donegan and his family re-
turned from a pleasant three weeks
spent in Canada to learn of the rob-
berry this morning. 1t is believed to
have been committed during the
night.
Both robberies were reported to
the police and Detective Sergeants

LYON ANSWERS {
PROCRESSIVES

There is evidently some speculation
In and around Metuchen regarding the
probable stand of former Judge
Adrian Lyon, Of this city, In the pro-
gressive movement, Despite the fact
that Judge Lyon has repeatedly made
plain his position In the coming cam
paign, the following story was received
today from Metuchen Roosevelt en-
thusiast;
"Metuchen, Sept. s.-Ts former
Judge Adrian Lyon, Of Perth Amboy,
a really and truly Bull Moose; died in
the wool, warranted not to fade; and
has he left the g.. 0. PIP Is the queo-
tion aired today IN this progressive
burg. Yes has been the answer to
the best of the knowledge and belief
Of the local Bull Moosers' up to Satur-
day, last. On that day news from a
very reliable source reached the ears of
the local Moose, to the effect that Judge
Lyon IS not as strong for breaking away
from the Republican party as he might
be, and, in fact, doubt exists as to
whether he has quite given up reform
ing the Republican party from within
the ranks.
$50 serious is the situation that To-
cal Bull Moose leaders, who have been
working with the Perth Amboy leader
for the progressive interests, decided
to put it up to the judge. He could not
be reached by telephone, or otherwise,
on Saturday, which lead leading Bull
Mooser,' of Metuchen, to remark:
There can be no doubt as to whether
any man stands in the New Party He
is either with us or against us, and we
must know where he stands, if we have
to smoke him out The Roosevelt
men are worried, because they want
Judge Lyon to run for State Senator.
The information concerning Judge
Lyons reported stand was given first
handed, 1t is said, to one of the follow
ing gentlemen: William Dinwiddle,
Charles A. Prickett, H Raymond
Groves, William A. Coles or Mark o.
Prentiss."
