Chief Comings agrees with the
Garfield members and Will do all in
his power to have their wants at
tended to-. Mr.. Comings says hat a
chemical wagon should answer all
alarms and that Hall avenue Is the
only section. of the city where that
protection Is lacking. 1t Is further
explained by the chief that 1t Is a
very short run from Amboy avenue
over the Penn street bridge into the
heart of Hall avenue. He will take
the matter up with Alderman L. G.
Dalton when the town is redistrfcted.

ed will answer all alarms. The re-
modelled apparatus will be In use by

Dilemma.

For once that French public bene.
factor known as Cochou, who cham
pions poor families who cannot find

SENDS LETTER
TO GOVERNOR
Counsel for New Ferry Com
pany Explains Application.

Acting as counsel for the Perth
Amboy and Tottenville Ferry Com
pany, George S. Silzer has written
to Governor Woodrow Wilson con-
corning the security of riparian
rights for ferry privileges at the
easterly end of Buckingham avenue
in this city. Working on the conten-
ton that there is no existing law
giving the city the right to lease
riparian lands if may hold, the ferry
company is e~ndeayoring to secure it's
desired rights directly from the RI
parian commission for a term of
twenty-five years. AS Nh. Silzer and
Joseph E. Stricken, acting city at
torney, are on a vacation until next
Tuesday, it is expected nothing will
be done until after that date.
Basing his statements on the con-
ference between Acting Mayor Gar
retson, counsel for the city and coun-
sci for the ferry company and the
riparian commissioners at Trenton
August 20, Mr.. Silzer has prepared a
communication which has probably
reached the governor by this time.
In this he sets forth the views of the
other riparian commissioners as ex-
pressed at the conference.

Punched Mary Garden for Less.

In an article on baseball fans" In
the August American Magazine Hugh
s. Fullerton tells the following story:
"One OF the quickest things / ever
heard was a remark from a Washing.
ton fan which upset Frank Isbell, the
veteran, completely. Isbell's head Is
as bald as a concrete pavement and
usually he kept his cap plastered
tightly on his head to shield himself
from the gibes Of crowds. This time
he tried to steal second, and mado a
desperate, diving slide around and I'M
der the baseman. only to be called out,
He was SO enraged that he ran at The
umpire. grabbed his arm, argued and
raved and finally IN sheer anger jerked
of his cap. hurled II onto the ground
and jumped upon 1t. His bald head
g1lstened in the sunlight and the
crowd roared. Then above the roar
came q voice:
Put on that cap. They pinched
Ma1y Garden here for less than hat"

COPS FIX DATE
FOR CLAMBAKE

ments yesterday afternoon. 1t is in
tended to serve as good a bake if

bring out the athletes in the police
departments of this city, South Am
boy and Woodbridge, as police Off
Gals from those places as well as
from this city will attend. Chief of
Police James Mcdonald, of South
Amboy, still challenges any man in

The eruption began In pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off. and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
