The mayor and Mr.. Donnelly were
especially aroused about the state
ment that no one remained in the
mayors office to transact the city

The story among other things de-

MANY LEFT BEHIND
At OUTING FOR POOR
Women and Children Weep as
Boat Pulls Out in
Kearny.

If the opinions of proba bly, 100 poor
women and children count for any
thing. the excursion for the poor of
the town, which left Kearny today
for Rockaway. proved a rank failure.
No less than the above number were
left at the dock at the foot of john
ston avenue. when the steamer Will
lam Storie pulled away from the
starting point.
Disappointed children cried and
screamed and mothers were indignant
as the boat pulled away Young
sters. who had looked forward with
great JOY to the outing, were heart
broken when they were compelled to
leave the dock and go to their homes.
Long before the boat sounded
signal to show 1t was Kearny- bound,
tired-looking mothers with their
pleasure seeking offsprings, gathered
at the dock. They waited patiently
for hours. Some of those who were
first at the dock were among the
ones to be left behind.
Just who was responsible for the
apparent fiasco is a matter OF con-
lecture. A member of the committee
the number of tickets that had been
issued. said more than seven hundred
had been given out. The captain of
the Storie told a reporter his boat was
CAPABLE of accommodating 6O5 per-
Cry as Boat Pulls Out.
When the limited number had
boarded the boat, the captain ordered
the gang plank drawn. Women
aboard pleaded that their children,
who were on the dock, be allowed to
ioin them. The captain, living up
strictly to rules, refused to accede to
these requests.
one woman jumped from the
steamer to the dock as the start was
made. Other women, seeing heart
broken children on the pier, offered to
get off and let the youngsters take
their places. The captain would not
allow this, either. Seeing, finally
there was no hope for them, the dis
appointed mothers, many of them
pushing baby carriages of the vintage
of q decade ago, trudged slowly and
sadly from the dock.
Some women declared they had seen
people aboard who they said lived in
Harrison, East Newark and this city
In one instance spectator handed
the mother of four children some
money. He told the woman to take
the youngsters to some other place of
amusement for the day. Three aged
women, carrying small packages of
lunch. went away crying when they
found they could not get aboard.
Committee Criticized.
Those who arranged the affair and
worked hard for it's success were sub
jected to severe criticism. The start
was made at exactly $3.50 a. m. A de-
lay after starting was experienced
when the boat halted at the Erie rail-
road bridge for ten minutes, awaiting
the arrival of an express train. Two

NO N. Y.-JAPAN LINE

is little likelihood of a Japanese
steamship line being operated be-
tween Yokohama and New York for
the opening of the Panama canal, ac-

yesterday. A combination had been
proposed. under which the great
Japanese steamship lines, the Osaka
Shoshen Kaisha, the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha and the Togo Kisen Kaisha
would operate a line direct to New
York via the canal, but the Japanese
government has been backward about
granting the desired subsidies, and
