GIRL RECEIVERS
FROM INJURIES
Miss Hooper Leaped From
Auto To EIude Man.
Special TO the EVENING NEWs

New Brunswick, Dec. 2: - Belle
Hooper, the pretty seventeen year
old girl, of Piscataway, who leaped
from q moving automobile on the
River road near Raritan avenue,
yesterday, Is slowly recovering. She
sustained a dislocated shoulder and
severe bruises about the face and
body.
AT first, after regaining conscious
ness, the girl would say but little
about her experience. 1t was learn
ed that she had jumped from the
machine to fee from young man
who drove it, and who refused to
stop. He had passed her home as
she was waiting for a trolley car.
In response to an invitation to ride
with him, she did SO, It is asserted.
He turned the big machine swiftly
from Raritan avenue into the River
road as the Albany street bridge
was approached. The girl tried in
vain to have him stop. She scream
ed and jumped. Men working on
the bridge picked up her PROSTATE
form and carried 1t to the Enter
prise laundry, as the autoist speed
ed on. She was taken to her home
in an ambulance. Vain efforts were
made to capture the auto driver.

President Wilson Delivers His
Annual Address Before Joint

Special by United Press Wire.
Washington Dec. Am entering
wedge for the governmental owner
ship of public utilities and the de-
mands that the people and not the
politicians select presidential candi-
dates were the revolutionary sugges-
tions of President Wilson today in
his annual message to congress. He
frankly advocated government
owned and controlled railroad for
Alaska. He went further In his ad-
Vocacy of presidential primary
than even the enthusiastic advocates
of that plan have yet suggested. He
wants to abolish the nominating con-
yention as such. In its place he
would create ratifying body made
of candidates for the congress sitting
senators and members of each ma
tional committee. They would af-
firm the Will OF the people, then
right and be responsible for the par
ty platform.
This was the Presidents fourth
appearance before a Joint session of
congress. There were far more wo-
men than men in the gallery. The
display Of costly gowns and millinery
was remarkable. Nearly all of the
women of the cabinet had seats of
vantage. The President shook hands
with the vice president and speaker
as he was escorted to the rostum at
1907. While stepping forward to
the reading desk he began to read.
The house chamber is especially
suited to President Wilson's voice.
The members were anxious to listen.
The general policies of the admins
tration were being outlined for the
first time. His reception was much
more enthusiastic than any of the
previous occasions.
When he was presented by Speak
er Clark, Senator Kern started hand
clapping which quickly spread to the
members and then to the galleries.
1t lasted nearly half minute and
was Joined in by every one present.
1t was spontaneous, which plainly de-
lighted the President, and he smiled
broadly in acknowledgment

LAYING
YIN. {. A. stone
Unable To Secure Speaker For
the Great Occasion.

Because the Y. M. c. A. has not
yet secured a speaker for the occa-
sion, the laying of the corner-tone
Of their new building has been post
poned. The stone was to have been
laid tomorrow afternoon. Secretary
S. M. Lipscomb issued the following
explanation of the postponement Of
the event, this morning:
''The Board of Directors Of the Y.
M. c. A. at its regular meeting held
the first Wednesday evening In No
vember, set December as the ten
tative date for the laying of the cor
ner-stone of the new building. A
committee, composed of o. w. Ram
sey chairman; D. P. Olpsstead and
NJ. s. Darrow was appointed to Sc
cure prominent speaker fo1 this oc-
casion, and they have been working
steadily On this matter.
''It was thought until recently that
December 3, as originally set, would
be satisfactory, but during the last
few days we learned that it would
be impossible to secure the speaker
desired on this particular date and
this event has been postponed proba-
bly, a week or ten days. The COM
mittee expect q telegram or a letter
at an early moment announcing the
name of the speaker and the exact
date he will be able to be with us.
"All friends of the association will
receive information and it Is desir-
Gus that as many be present as possi-
BILE. A newspaper writeup giving the
full program and facts concerning
the cornerstone laying will be pub
lished just as soon as the informa-
ton is received"

HOW RED CROSS SEALS HELP

Statistics aren't necessary to prove
the value of Red Cross Seals. More
conclusive than any figures which
could be tabulated are the living,
breathing proofs of their value.
There is Angela Fradinardo, for
example. Angela was born In New
York cellar which never was any
thing but damp and dirty. Her
father and mother were sore distress
ed because Angela was so quiet and
sombre. The neighbors called her
"the little one who cannot laugh"
1t Is more than probable that Angela
would have died If 1t had not been
for the folks who bought Red Cross
Seals. Angela was taken from the
cellar and placed In a fresh-air class,
and today she is "the smiling one"
Then there Is Jennie Leveri to add
to this proof. The only difficulty in
the case of Jennie is that it as hard
to make any one believe she is the
same girl.
Bessie White of Philadelphia, is
another healthy, happy person who
owes her life to the buyers of Red
Cross Seals. She had had tubercu-
losis from childhood, and her life
was despaired of until visitor to
her home from the tuberculosis So
ciety arranged for her to begin the
out-of-door treatment. 1t didn't
seem best for her to go away from
home, so she went on top OF her
tenement to live. She is well as ever
now.

Health appropriation from 81 900 to
$4,000 and fire fund from $25 900
to $4,000.
Typewriter Sheets.
AS the board convened, typewrit-
ten sheets giving the proposed bud
get figures were handed to each OF
the aldermen. Nobody seemed to
know just where they came from.
Even Mr.. Seaman, a Democrat, was
surprised. His motion to take the
item up separately was seconded by
Mr.. Wilson and carried. When the
clerk read $4,000 for the library,
Mr.. Seaman moved that it be amend
ed to $500. Mr.. Clark asked for
roll call. Mr.. Seaman then spoke
about the necessity of giving the Ii
brary at least $500. He declared
the institution had been accepted un-
der condition that 1t would be sup
ported by the city In accordance with
the valuation. Clark stated that in
ssmuch as Mr.. Seaman did not know
definitely what amount 1t should re-
ceiVe, that $4,000 be allotted at this
time and more In June.
Did Not Know Better.
Mr.. Clark stated that other boards
had not acted SO. Mr. Seaman re-
piled, stating that was because they
did not know better. He maintained
that this board had had evidence be-
fore it showing the course he advo-
Gated to be the only legal one When
Alderman Hilker asked as to the
amount the library was entitled to
this year, Mr.. Seaman said he knew
it was over $500. On the roll cali
the amendment was lost by vote
of four to two. Messrs Wilson and
Seaman voted in the negative for the
appropriation of $4,000. which was
carried by four votes.
An exceedingly warm tussle fol-
lowed over Mr.. Seamans s effort to
have the health board appropriation
raised from $4,000 to $4,000. Mr..
Wilson seconded his motion 10 such
an amendment. Mr.. Seaman hen
spoke In favor of that department.,
declaring 1t to be one of the most
important in the city. He declared

HOSPITAL
FOR ISOLATION
Health Board Petition Alder
men for Contagious Diseases.

In an effort to have means provid-
ed to isolate and care for contagious
disease patients In this city, the
Board of Health had a petition be-
fore the Board of Aldermen at Its reg
ular meeting last night, requesting
that an isolation hospital be furnish
ed. 1t was read and referred to the
committee on finance at the sugges-
ton of Chairman Henry w. Sand
beck, Jr.
The petition was in the form of a
resolution. In this the health author
tiles called the attention of the city
fathers to the existence of many
cases Of contagious disease in the
city. They also declared that in
these, quarantine could not be main
tanned without great hardship to
families of patients and then at a
danger to others who were liable to
infection. the health board request
ed that the council provide, equip
and maintain a suitable isolation
hospital for the proper care of such
patients.

VAIN EFFORTS To
GET PAVEMENTS
Alderman Seaman Unable To
Get Ordinance Through.

Declaring that he considered it
the duty of the present board Of
aldermen to finally pass ordinances
to pave First, Second, Lewis and sec
tions of other streets in the southern
part of the city with amecite, Alder
man F. A. Seaman tried in vain to
have such action taken at the meet
ing of the council last night. The
vote was lost by a tie vote.
AS Mr.. Seaman had concluded his
motion and Mr.. Wilson had seconded
it, Mr.. Clark looked in wonderment
and asked, where does this come
from? 1t didn't come up at the last
meeting" A reply came from Mr..
Seaman that the subject had been
brought up at meetings the last two
or three months. He said people of
the section in question had come to
him with the request that the ordi-
nances be passed finally.

ENTIRE HARBOR BOARD APPROPRIATION is WIPED OUT

True to the prediction Of Alder
man F. A. Seaman, the budget fig
ures submitted for introduction at
the meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night showed there had
been considerable slashing. So
much so that instead of fighting to
keep the amount down, Mr.. Seaman
had to battle most vigorously to keep
certain figures to an amount which
he thought would suffice. After
much wrangling during which Mr..
Seaman made accusations that poll
tics were being played, and consid-
cradle hot shot was exchanged be-
tween he and Alderman John J.
Clark, who 1t seemed, was again rep
resenting the Democratic forces in
the council, the budget ordinance
was introduced and passed upon its
first reading. 1t shows a total of
s171,95O, which is $11,SO0 larger
than the combined December and
June budgets for 1913.
Had the figures, alleged to have
been submitted by Mr.. Clark at the
committee meeting Friday night,
been introduced, the budget for 1914
would have been $24,95O greater
! than that for this year. Mr.. Seaman
predicted Saturday that when the
organization procured a hold on Mr.
Clark's figures, there would be some
cutting.
Figures Show Cutting.
The figures prepared on typewrit-
ten sheets showed there had been
some cutting They showed a reduc-
tion of $15,150 from the total
amount of $1S5, 100, which was sub
mitted last Friday night. The en-
tire harbor board appropriation was
wiped out and other reductions were
made as follows Library, $500;
board of health, $4,000; public
grounds and buildings, $1,000;
lamps and lights, $4,000; police
$1,000; salaries, $400; fire, $4,000;
fire alarm and police call mainten-
ance, $1,250. Through strenuous
efforts and with the aid of Aldermen
