ARE PROMISED
MORE TRAINS
Board of Trade Committee
Waited Upon w. c. Hope
OF Central Railroad.
CONDITIONS AT STATION
Local Men Assured That City
Would be Given More Con-
Sideration in Future.

Better train service to the shore
on the Central railroad was prom
ised the committee from the Perth
Amboy Board of Trade that waited
upon General Passenger Agent w.
c. Hope at the main Offices of the
Central railroad at the foot of Lib
erty street, New York, this morn
ing. Mr.. Hope also assured the
delegation that he would take up
! the matter of making the present
station more attractive pending
such time as a new station can be
the dim future.
On the committee from the Board
of Trade were President l. c..
Moore, Harry Conard, Albert Leon
and d. p. Olmstead. Mr.. Hope re-
ceived them pleasantly as Is his GUS
tom. 1t was pointed out to him that
to and from Asbury Park during the
| ally no accommodation In getting
| Perth Amboy was receiving practic-
summer season. The facts were pre-
| sented in such a manner that he
could not help but realize the force
of the arguments made by the
| Perth Amboy men. 1t was shown
| him that going to the shore in the
morning, there has been practically
only one train and on that it has
| been necessary to change cars at
| Matawan. Returning in the after
noon conditions have been little or
no better.
Mr.. Hope said it would be impos-
sible to. put on any more trains, but
he thought it likely that he could
arrange to have several of the trains
that are expresses at Perth AmbOy,
| both ways, stop here this summer
| He promised to take the matter up
! at once and assured the members of
| the Board of Trade that Perth Am
| boy would be looked after better in
! the future.
! Conditions at the Station.
Conditions at the Central station
were then discussed II the city
| could not have a new station 1t was
suggested to Mr Hope that at least
/ something could be done to the
| present structure to add comfort to
the travelling public. Better lights
which would be kept burning all the
| time outside was one Of the sugges-
! tions At present the lights on the
platform are turned on only when
| a train approaches and are turned
off again when the train leaves. An
other thing was the muddy approach
| to the station from Smith street and
the mud between the tracks in front
of the station. Mr.. Hope admitted
that conditions might be better than
they are and he promised to take
| this matter up also.
The Board Of Trade committee
feel well satisfied with their visit
and are confident that something
will be done. 1t was evident that
| Perth Amboy Is being looked upon
in q different light by the railroad
officials than was the custom a few
years ago.

Baltimore, May 7.-Returns from all
parts of the state give the victory in
the presidential preference primary to
Roosevelt and Clark.
While Clark's victory apparently as
sures him the Maryland delegation in
the national convention, the vote be-
tween Taft and his predecessor is
close. The signs point to siXty-siX
delegates for Roosevelt and slxty-three
for Taft on the preferential vote.
SiXty-tive are necessary to nominate.
In one of the districts in Baltimore
city, while Roosevelt got the prefer
tial vote, four Taft delegates were
elected to the state convention.
The returns from the state give only
the result Of the preferential vote and
not the names of the delegates elected.
ROOsevelt's smaller votes for dele
gates than in the preferential box is
due to the fact that great many ne
groes and even some whites voted
only in the preferential box and made
no attempt to vote for delegates for
fear of invalidating their ballots.
The vote was cast by legislative dis.
tricts for delegates to the state con
vention. These delegates, no matter
for whom they stand on the ticket,
must vote for the candidate who re-
ceives the majority of the preferential
vote In the district.
In Baltimore city Roosevelt and
Clark carried all four of the legisla-
tive districts, generally by large ma
jorities. Strangely enough, however,
In the first district which Roosevelt
got the preferential vote, four of the
seven delegates elected are Taft dele
gates.
Complications In Convention.
This may lead to some complications
In the state convention as there the
delegates which are obligated to vote
for Taft may elect national delegates
who, after the first ballot, having car
rled out their instructions to vote for
Roosevelt, may switch to Taft.
Roosevelt has also carried Baltimore
county and most of the western Mary
land counties, while Tafts strength
had been mostly on the eastern shore.
Wilson made q rather poor showing
IN Baltimore city, where Mayor Pres
ton has linked his Vice presidential as
pirations with Clark's selection for
first place. Wilson, however. carried
Baltimore county and most Of the
| eastern shore counties.
Negro Vote Helped Teddy"

Roosevelt's appeal for the negro vote

ed the organization In great numbers
ana voted almost to a man for Roose
welt.
at the eleventh hour some excite
ment was caused in the Democratic
ranks by charge that Harmon was
| being used as stalking horse for
| Clark On the ballots Harmon's name
appeared among the candidates for
the preferential vote, but there Is no
list of delegates. Yesterday morning
an advertisement appeared in the pa.
pers signed by Charles r. Crane. one
of the Harmon leaders, urging voters
to mark their ballots for Harmon and
the Clark delegates.
The Wilsonites denounced this as a
trick to give the Harmon votes to
Clark.

Stone BREAKS
TRAIN WINDOW
Passengers Showered With
Glass Boy Threw 1t.

AS the result of a stone being
thrown through a car window and
narrowly missing a passenger last
night, Central railroad officials are
up in arms against boys who occa-
sionally throw stones at passing
trains near Hall avenue. They in
tend to confer with the acting mayor
and chief of police regarding the
matter and the result will probably
be that a force of detectives will be
on the watch for such culprits. 1t is
declared they will be dealt wieS mos
severely If caught.
A boy standing On bank just east
OF the tracks and near Hall avenue
threw a heavy stone through win
dow in a Central passenger cOacf
shertly after o'clock last night
which shattered window glass anC
grazed a mans head by few inches
The incident caused considerable eX
element in the car and it was re
ported to railroad officials. The
train was one which left New York
at 5.38 o'clock.

theatrical season and enters the artistic
side Miss Kauser, being generally consid-
cred a play expert, is often called upon 10
do producers work and even To give ad-
vance Judgment on play manuscripts before
rehearsals are begun.
Alice Kauser is Hungarian. She~came
TO this country a number of years ago
under the necessity of going into some sort
Of business, and, being descended from hNe
centuries of artist-artsans, master masons,
stone cutters, mosaic workers, sculptOrs
and architects, naturally fell into an ar
tistic line of work over here. Her first
efforts We're directed toward supplying
stock companies all over the country with
plays, obtaining producing rights, etc. She
also undertook to represent Continental
playwrights, for whose plays a considerable
demand had arisen in America.
Miss Kauser made herself conspicuous
even then as a champion of American
drama, written by Americans but although
managers laughed when she offered them
native plays, she doomed the works with
enthusiasm. To-day, she declares, her
business is almost exclusively composed Of
native plays, and she is probably the lead
ing agent for American playwyghts.
Although so large a part Of her business
is concerned with the commercial side of
the stage, Miss Kauser's artistic impulse
is revealed in her most emphatcally eX-
pressed opinion that no one should write
plays or work in any other OF the arts
unless he feels that he would burst II he
did not do II.
