NEGOTIATE FOR
DESIRABLE SITE
Playground Board Has Sew
eral in View But Must Get
Necessary Permission.
GIVE UP LEWIS STREET
Parker Property in Water
Street and Pardee Tract
Favored Others Named.

Property at Madison avenue and
Lewis street was abandoned as site
for the city's first public playground
and efforts were started to secure
another site in Water street or at
Herbert and Smith streets, at a
meeting o. Public Playground Com
mission in city hall yesterday after
noon. The commissioners discussed
at length a lumber of desirable sites
In various yarts Of the city and
finally decided to secure one of two
properties 1t was decided to COM
municate with Charles II. Edwards
in an effort to learn the cost of
leasing a portion of the c. Pardee
property at the southeasterly corn
er of Smith and Herbert streets and
to secure similar information about
part of the Cortlandt Parker es-
tate In Water street near Smith
street.
Rescind Action On Lewis Street.
Action was taken to rescind the
resolution adopted for the purpose
of leasing property at Madison ave-
nue. and Lewis street and motion
was passed to secure terms for leas-
ing the Pardee and Parker land at
the meeting yesterday, which was
attended by all of the Commission
ers.
The board is unanimous In the
opinion that the former water works
property bordering on the norther-
ly side of Smith street in the west
ern part of the city is the ideal To-
cation for children's playground
and general recreation place, but the
cost Of filling in the pond on 1t and
the length of time 1t would take to
do 1t, served as q stumbling block.
The commissioners realize that a
| playground should be established
this year and some of them estimat-
ed that 1t would take a year to put
the property in suitable condition
! The expense and time of construct
i ing a culvert to drain water from
| land north of the property and to
have the pond filled with garbage
and dirt was claimed to be a hind
rance for any immediate steps.
Property West of c. X. r..
This and several other sites were
viewed on a recent inspection trip
of the commissioners. Tho board
/ talked about property Just west OF
LH6 tShtIdl idlllOdu u dChE Del"eSu
Smith and Market streets and land
along Maple street in the vicinity
of Jefferson street. Land about
school buildings was mentioned as
I desirable for use as Fairgrounds for
small children. Commissioner Rey-
nolds suggested that a large ground
be secured for the older children and
that property about school buildings
be used by the smalled children. In
connection with this one member
suggested the use of the Amusement
Park grounds, which are fenced In.
Others claimed 1t was too far out of
the way.
View Parker Property.
After the meeting the commission
ers viewed the Parker property in
Water street and agreed 1t was de-
sirable for playground purposes If
number of the trees on 1t could
be removed. The commissioners
claim it is just large enough. The
Pardee land they have In mind, is
larger and more desirable for base
ball and tennis playing purposes.

OF fainting when they read the
names of acquaintances who have
lost their lives. Mortimer L. Schief,

subscription of $500.
The first news of the tragedy
came in the form of rumors at

Statements made by Mrs. A. l..
Ryerson. who Is distant relative of
the Parker, Jaudon and Marsh fami-
lies of this city, will play an impor-
tant part In the inquiry being made
by the Senate Investigating Commit
tee Of the sinking Of the Titanic.
Mrs Ryerson, 1t is averred, was In
conversation with J. Bruce Ismay,
who told her that the Titanic was
nearing icebergs. This message
came in the form of a Marconigram
on the evening previous to the disas-
ter.
Ismay Orders More Speed.
At the investigation yesterday 1t
was brought out that Mrs. RyersOn,
upon being informed of the impend-
ing danger Of the craft. said to the
managing director of the White Star
Line:
"Of course you are going to slow
down"
Mr.. Ismay replied; ooh, no, we
are not going to slow down w e
are going to put on two more boil
ers and get out Of IT."
The message relayed 10 Mr.. Ismay
was handed to Mrs Ryerson, but
Sub ulu uoi JthG llIilS " eau It,
The statements of Mrs. Ryerson
If corroborated, will place the Off
clal in a bad light as it is generally
understood that lsmay ordered the
ship to make time in spite of the
warning he received. Mrs. Ryerson
told Mrs. w. d. Douglas of the con
versation she had with Mr.. Ismay
and later 1t was told to the investi-
eating committee by Mrs. Douglas.
Mrs. Ryerson, who at the present
time is under the care of physi-
clan at the Hotel Belmont, In New
York, could not be seen 10 talk on
the Ismay conversation. The funer-
al of young Ryerson, who was killed
in an automobile accident IN Phila-
delphia some time ago, will not be
held until Mrs. Ryerson is sufficient

Major peuchen Tells Story.
The following statements made by
Major Arthur Peuchen. of Toronto,
Canada, set forth the facts as given
by Mrs. Douglas to the committee
yesterday. They are Identical with
the story given out by Mrs. Ryerson.
Major Peuchen said:
81. Bruce Ismay knew of the
presence &C icebergs, but arrogantly
disregarded the danger of them.
"And when the Titanic~was every
instant facing the possibility of run
ming into an ice mountain, Mr.. Ismay
was dining with Captain Smith
both of them in evening clothes-in
lower saloon, when the captain, at
least, should have been at his post
Of duty on the bridge.
81 know as matter Of cold fact, -
said Major Peuchen, that on Sun
day night from 7:3O o'clock until
nearly 1890 Ismay and Captain
Smith with several other men were
having a dinner party in one of the
salons. and l thought to myself at
that time;
"Wouldn't It be pretty situation
If something would happen to this
ship Just now and her captain would
be discovered at dinner table-oUt
of uniform and In evening gar
ments?"

Special bu United Press Wire,


New York, April 2o:-The delay

PROCRESSIVES
STRONG HERE
Perth Amboy Lining Up
Strongly in Support of
Roosevelt and Wilson.
JOHNSON AS DELEGATE
Conservative New Brunswick
Only Encouragement Smith
and Taft Workers Can Get.

AS the campaign for the preslden-
tial primaries May 28 progresses, it
becomes more and more evident that
Perth Amboy is the stronghold of
the progTesslves, while what strength
the stand-patters have must come
largely from conservative New
Brunswick. Aside from w. Parker
Runyon, who has always looked after
the interests OF Millard f. Ross and
James Smith, Jr., in this city, the
ant-Nilson Democrats have practi-
cally no backing in Perth Amboy
Mr.. Runyon was prominently men
toned as the Smith delegate in the
third district, but he declined to
run. His name, however, heads the
petition of Samuel Schleimer, who
was selected to make the run In the
place Of Mr.. Runyon. The latter has
no hesitancy in declaring himself
with the Smith -Nugent wing OF the
party, although he prefers to call 1t
the Independent, unpledged ticket.
All the other leading Democrats
in Perth Amboy, including the men
who do the actual work at election
time, are for Wilson and are actually
backing Congressman Thomas J.
Scully, who is a candidate for q del
egate pledged to Wilson. The county
organization is also supporting VIII
son and backing Scully, including
the party workers in New Brunswick.
This leaves the Smith supporters
with only Ross. Runyon and Edwin
Furman, of Sayreyille, with possibly
one or two other stand-patters. to
carry on the anti-Wilson campaign.
A petition IS being circulated in
New Brunswick for George w.
Young, Wall street financier. who
has summer home at Deal Beach,
which is his voting residence, for
Smith delegate-at-larg in New Jer-
sey to oppose the nomination OF
Wilson.
On the Republican side, practically
all the leaders in Perth Amboy are
working for Roosevelt or else are
keeping very still, declaring them
selves neither one way nor the other.
Taft must look to New Brunswick for
any hope he may have in Middlesex.
There Theodore Strong is doing his
best to make a showing to help his
friend, Senator Briggs, carry the
state for the administration, but he
appears to be having trouble Since
Benjamin f. Howell refused to be
used as a stalking horse, the aumin-
istration men have brought forward
the name of James w. Johnson, pres
ident of Johnson q Johnson, as the
Middlesex delegate from this district
1t is noticeable that the heads OF
concerns that have profited largely
through the high protective tariff are
being appealed to everywhere In an
effort to bolster up the Taft cause
In the meantime the progressIves
in both parties are close to the peo-
pie and are gaining strength daily,
winning supporters for Roosevelt and
Wilson respectively.
Two Roosevelt candidates, one for
delegate and the other for alternate
from Monmouth county, have already
filed their petitions at Trenton. They
are e. Gerry Roberts for delegate
and John NJ Hoffmire, Jr., for alter
nate. both of Red Bank.
