MARITIME MAY
ADDRESS HERE
U. s. Senator Promises to
Speak During Campaign.

There is a strong possibility that
United States Senator James E. Mar
tine, OF Plainf1eld, will speak in this
city. during the present campaign,
probably on Friday night, OF this
week, at the banner raising Of the
Woodrow Wilson Democratic club, at
Smith street and New Brunswick
avenue. The street demonstration
will be followed by a mass meeting &
and talk-fest by national speakers
In the Auditorium, in New Bruns-
wick avenue. 1t Is probable that
Senator MARITIME will be induced to
come here at that time and speak
in favor OF the assembl and sena-
torial ticket, which will assist to
elect his colleagues to the United
States senate from New Jersey.
DIR. William E. Ramsay, OF this
city, candidate for state senate on
the Democratic ticket, is an old
friend of Senator MARITIME and held
long confab with the gentleman
from Union at the Interstate Ffir,
Trenton, on Thursday of last week.
At that time Senator MARITIME re-
ceived an invitation from DR.. Ram
say to address local mass meeting
In the latter's behalf, and the Union
county man eheerfully accepted.
There was no intention at that time,
DR.. Ramsay states, to intrude upon
the program Of the Wilson club, of
this city, and the Democratic County
Committee and add Senator MARITIME s
name to the carefully prepared pro-
gram for Friday nights celebration,
although there Is strong probability
that the Wilson club will formally in
vite Mr.. MARITIME to this city for that
occasion.
Unofficial word has been received
that one or two of the speakers de-
sired by the Wilson club to speak
here at the banner raising may be
unable to do 80, therefore there is a
probability OF postponement In the
date. The arrangement committee
is forwarding its plans, however,
and will be In position to cope
with the situation whether the pro-
posed demonstration Is held this
week. as previously announced, or
until a later date. Con-
gressman Thomas J. Scully, of South
Amboy, who is out for reelection,
will be one of the principal speakers
Of the event. regardless Of any other
change.

Stoning of passenger trains while
passing Hall avenue is nuisance
that has been contended with for
years. At times the crime is perpe-
trated by boys. Freight trains are
very often stoned and at times the
dangerous practice of stoning pas
senger coaches is resorted to. The
wholesale attack of yesterday morn
ing has caused the railroad officials
and the police to take such steps as
they can to end the nuisance. They
intend to spare no pains to bring the
guilty culprits to Justice.
When train No. 369 was stoned It
was thought some Of the passengers
had been killed. Many passengers
were quick to offer aid to others
thought to have been injured and
there was general excitement aboard
the train. Conductor During, who
was In charge of the train, held 1t up
for sometime at the Central railroad
station, while he made out a state
ment concerning the attack, 80 that
officials could act. Patrolman Calvin
