BENEFITS OF
CANAL HEARD
Mayor DonnsIIy of Trenton
Addresses Trade Boards.

Benefits of the proposed New Jer-
sey ship canal, the intercoastal canal
system and improvement of local
waterways, were principal topics of
discussion at an enthusiastic meeting
OF the Affiliated Boards of Trade Of
Middlesex county in the free public
library at New Brunswick last night.
Mayor Frederick w. Donnelly, of
Trenton, father of the ship canal
movement, spoke at length upon it's
benefits. Captain Ivan Wise, of Vir-
ginia, spoke enthusiastically along
the same lines. William c. Griffeths
an able engineer who was formerly
in the United States service, had
much data to offer, but owing to a
severe cold could not speak. Y. D.
Meeker read paper prepared by
him.
Mayor Donnelly pointed out how
the New Jersey ship canal would
benefit various sections through
which 1t was to pass. He elaborated
upon the benefit it would be to New
Brunswick, suggesting that that
place prepare for it and establish
terminal there. He said in short the
canal would benefit the entire state.
He maintained such a canal would
not hinder railroad trade, but upon
the other hand would benefit 1t, as
1t would act as feeder, giving the
railroads small freight and taking
the largest freight announcement for
them. He advocated that cities pur-
chase property at street ends, docks,
etc., as he deemed those most essen
tial for water traffic and showed a
sincerity Of municipality to use its
water courses. Mr.. Donnelly showed
maps and pointed out the plan to
extend coastwise canal from Maine
to North Carolina
Captain Wise suggested that peo-
pie in the east wake up to the point
of prodding their congressman for
waterway improvements and appro-
priations therefor He advised that
they become active like their broth
ers in the west and keep after their
congressman. Mr.. Griffeths in his
paper set forth that such waterway
improvements as were spoken about
would lessen freight rates and thus
reduce the high cost Of living, by
cutting down the price of foodstuffs.
Presient Charles A. Mccormick
presided. Those present from this
city were: Acting Mayor Ferd Gar
retson, I. c.. Moore, William J. Train
er, Daniel P. Olmstead and Isaac
Alpern.

LITTLE BOY IS
BADLY BURNED
Peter Lagoaia Suffers Graet
Agony But Doctor Says Ne
Will Recover.
MOTHES HEARD SCREAMS
Sister Saw the Accident But
Was Too Small to
Render Aid.
M0THEs HEARD SCREAMS

With the waist of his little dress
af1re, and flames enveloping his neck
and face. Peter, two-year-old son of
Peter Lagonia, Of 425 New Brunswick
avenue, was found in an almost un-
conscious condition on the floor of
the kitchen by his mother yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock. The child
was horribly burned before Mrs.
Lagonia could wrap about him some
clothes lying by, thereby extinguish.
Ing the flames.
Peter, in childish amusement, was
playing with the litter to the
stove in the room with his mother
and four-year-old sister, Marie. Mrs.
Lagonia went upstairs to attend to
some domestic duties. AS she ar
rived at the top OF the steps she
heard screams of agony from the
kitchen. She started back and ran
into the little girl, who had seen her
brother being burned but did not
know how to help him. She found
her boy lying on the floor while the
flames ate their way around his chin
and leaped higher to his forehead
and burned the hair off the fore part
of his head. DR.. G. w. Tyrrell was
summoned.
The child had been by the stove
all afternoon, but his mother thought
nothing OF it, as the weather was
cold and the stove was enclosed. She
had just built hot fire to get the
evening meal when she left the room
The child, getting closer and closer
to the stove, picked up the litter and
began playing with the door of the
fuel box, the bottom Of which was
covered with red hot Goals and burn
ing pieces of wood. As he opened
the door with the piece of iron, one
OF the blazing fagots fell out, land
Ing on his little waist. In few mo.
ments he was ablaze, and if he had
not been found by his mother would
have been burned to death.
