Bitter Struggle Starts in
Chicago Today National
Committee Organized.
CONTESTS COME LATER
Taft Arranges to Have News
of Proceedings Sent Direct
to White House.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM ALL
Privately the Leaders Admit
the Outcome Is too Close
for Comfort.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM ALL
special bp United Press Wire.

Chicago, June with both fac
tions in the Republican party claim
ing publicly everything in sight and
privately admitting that the outcome
was certain to too close for COM
fort" the Republican national COM
mittee met today to consider the
temporary roll of the convention.
Taft forces were in control of the
committee. The result of the ma
jority of the contest was believed
certain to be the seating Of the Taft
men. The committee did not plan
to take up any OF the contests today.
Instead the meeting was devoted to
organization, the election of a chair
man and to defining rules of pro-
cedure during the coming ten days.
Presient Taft will be in touch
with the convention from now on.
A private telephone was hooked up
today from the headquarters Of Sec
retary Hilles in the Blackstone ho-
tel, direct to the White House and
the secretary will keep his chief in
touch with everything that goes on.
The Roosevelt headquarters will
not get into immediate touch with
Oyster Bay until next week. Colo
mel Roosevelt will be notified at once
however, of anything important.
The majority of men now on hand
believe that Roosevelt will come
here himself next week. A new ele-
ment was injected into the situa-
ton today when some of the Pacific
coast delegates came here with a
recall of official plank, including
judges. Colonel Roosevelt is un-
deretood to have agreed to accept the
plank, but in a number of states in
which Roosevelt delegates have been
elected, this injection is unpopular.
1t seemed certain today that the
selection of Senator Root for tenn
porary chairman will be ratified by
the convention.
The desultory firing began fmmedl-
ately after the arrival of most Of the
members of the Republican national
committee. Their entrance to the con-
vention city was coincident with the
arrival Of Director William B. Nc
Kinley of the national Taft bureau
and Of Senator Joseph N. Dixon, man
nger Of the Roosevelt campaign, and
their corps Of secretaries, etc. Nc
Kinley and Dixon almost instantly
issued bulletins respectively for Taft
and Roosevelt. But with the national
committeeman on the field little at
tention was paid to these statements
Of claims and counter claims.

new TRUST co.
TO SELL STOCK
Local People Have First
Choice Temporary Officers

It was decided last night by the
Merchants and Mechanics Trust
company, at its organization meet
ing to dispose of the capital stock
of 100000 to only Perth Amboy
parties, thus making the new bank
ing institution purely a local con
Germ. The motion to this effect was
passed unanimously, after the COM
pany had perfected organization by
electing the following temporary
officers: President, John X. Sheehy;
secretary, Clancy D. Boynton. The
permanent officers will be elected at
the next meeting, 1t is expected.
Many Want to Invest.
Numerous applications were re-
ceived last night from out of town
concerns and individuals, either in
writing or in person, asking for the
privilege of investing In the new
institution at par. The local appli-
cations over-balance the out-of-
town requests, however, therefore,
for the decision Of the incorporators
to allow the local investors the first
opportunity to profit by the prob
able success of the business. II
local investors decline to become
sufficiently interested In the COM
pany to take up the capital stock Of
100000, the opportunity. Of course,
will be passed along to the out-of-
town applicants. 1t is expected,
though, that the demand for stock
from local investors will be SO
heavy that 1t will be found neces-
sary to proportion the number of
1000 shares, which will sell at
500, par value, each.
No Site is Discussed.
Temporary President Sheehy said
today that he expects the new insti-
tuition will be in working order by
October 1, according to the rapid
Of the plans of the in
at this time. When
questioned whether or not the new
company was desir1ous of locating
in the Bloodgood building, King and
Smith streets, as reported, he re-
piled that no mention of any prob
able site was made at last nights
session. The meeting was held In
the real estate offices of Boynton
Brothers & Company, in Smith
street.

Make Personal Campaign.
In the opinion of the committee
men present at last nights meeting
there will be no trouble in raising
the needed funds to make this cele-
bration an even greater success than
in previous years. Every commit
teeman was urged to begin a per-
sonal campaign for funds and not
let this all important matter rest en-
tirely with Chairman Ferd Garrett
son and the members of the finance
committee. Last year about $4,000
was raised, chiefly through an ap-
peal by Sheriff Albert Bollschwei eiler,
then mayor, to the factories and
breweries with interests in this city.
similar appeal will be made this
year, 1t was announced by Mr.. Gar
retson. Alderman John Kutcher

RAMS AUTO or
MAX GOLDMAN
Big Correja Hit Broadside
BY Unknown Flanders at
Smith and Prospect Sts.
OCCUPANTS ARE UNHURT
Both Cars Damaged Care
Iessness Alleged on Part of
Driver of Flanders.

After an enyiable record of tray-
elling for 1900 miles without an
accident, the huge "COrreja" auto
mobile owned by Max Goldman, of
1872 Market street, presient of the
Perth Amboy Beef Company, was
run into at Z o'clock last night in
Smith street, near Prospect street,
| by a FLANDERS" the names of the
owner and driver Of which could not
be learned. The Goldman car, run
ming at snai's pace, was turned in
it's tracks by the force of the COLI
ton with the lighter machine, which
hit the "Correja" broadaide in the
rear Although no serious injuries
to the occupants of either car were
reported, it is conceded that fatali-
ties would have undoubtedly oc-
Cured had the Flanders" hit amid
ship.
Son Driving Machine.
Benjamin Goldman, q son of the
well known meat and real estate
dealer, was driving the big touring
car when the accident happened. He
was going out Smith street, en-
route to Plainfield, where the Gold
man family expected spend a pleas
ant evening and had crossed Pros
pect street, in part, when he no.
| ticed the FLANDERS" running down
| Prospect street to Market street,
directly towards him. The unknown
| driver through lack of knowledge or
carelessnes, failed to shove in his
| brakes, or steer to the rear of the
! Goldman car. The lighter machine
crashed into the "COrreja s. rear
wheel and turned the machine
around in Smith street.
Got Number of Car.
Mr.. Goldman was outraged when
the driver of the other car appeared
before him and calmly remarked.
well, how are you going to fix II
up?" Mr.. Goldman told this driver
guilty of alleged carelessness, just
what he thought about him, aud in
as few words as possible. The
"Correja" ran to the Perth Amboy
| garage in Madison avenue on it's
own power, but the Flanders" was
repaired on the spot, it is under
stood, and the driver motored away
under cover of night. The "Flan-
ders' which bore New Jersey II
cense No. 9,398, had two tires and
the radiator bursted. One of the
"Correja 3" rear wheels was smash
ed. The Goldman party consisted
of Mr. and Mrs. Goldman, their
daughter, son and friend.
After the accident and the party
had realized its narrow escape, Mr.,
Goldman held up his right hand in
the fashion of the times and said:
Never again!" Mr.. Goldman's son
Benjamin, replied, "All right. Dad
iI'll run it,"

F. 4. SEAMAN
DEFENDS ACTS
Alderman Discusses the
Opening Of Streets.

The question Of opening up our
paved streets for purposes Of laying
sewers, etc, has become a very i'm
portant one for the future of the
city, If we are to save our pave
ments from destruction, and guard
the interests Of the city. | notice
an item in your issue Of Wednesday
that suggests an ordinance should
be passed giving the street commits
sioner power to look after such
work.
We have an ordinance now in
force, and I wish to quote from 1t,
on page SO, Sec. 449, of our ecently
compiled book Of ordinances, you
will find the following
"No connection shall be made
with any sewer or drain without
permission of the street commits
sioner, under penalty of $50 and the
manner Of connection thcrewith
shall be prescribed by that officer, as
to form, size and material, under
the direction of the committee on
sewers
Sec. 450 says. Permission for
the purpose mentioned in the pre-
ceding section may be revoked at
any time by the authorities, and
the persons holding such right shall
make no demand or claim for dam
ages by reason Of such permission
having been aunulled.' ~
These two sections clearly place
on the commissioner and the COM
mittee on streets and sewers the
duty of supervision OF such open
ings, as they have given them the
power to revoke permission to open
streets, this power surely means
that If the work is not done in a
satisfactory manner, they may stop
the work and see that It is done in a
proper manner; as il is the duty of
the street commissioner to takecare
Of such work, and It is impossible
for him to be all over the town
watching street openings, he has the
right to employ his force or his
funds to carry on such work; as 1t
was thought best to emphasize this
matter and make it plain to all, a
resolution was passed at the last
meeting of the council giving in
plain terms the right to appoint
an inspector for such work when he
deems it necessary. Surely the
opening of the streets at the cor
ner of New Brunswick avenue, State
street and Smith street calls for
careful work, and l hope the action
of the street commissioner and the
committee on streets and sewers will
be sustained by the people of Perth
Amboy, even If it Is true some of our
contractors think the city authori-
ties are getting too particular In
such matters.

Everybody discussed what
