WHITE PLAGUE
Anti tuberculosis Society of
This City Continue Work.

Excellent work is being done by
Miss Marie Nielsen, the trained nurse
who has been engaged by the Anti
tuberculosis Society for work in this
city. She submitted her first month
ly report at meeting of the society
that was held Tuesday night,
Miss Nielsen started work June /.
She obtained from the Board of
Health the names of those having the
disease and proceeded to make an
investigation. She received eighty
six names, but found that thirty
eight of that number had died. Six
were in q sanitarium, eleven had left
town and thirteen could not be locat-
ed. The remaining eighteen have
been visited regularly and during the
month fifteen more patients have
been discovered by the nurse, making
a total of thirty-three on her calling
list. She has made 106 visits during
June, teaching the patients how to
best take care of themselves. She
has met with great favor and the
patients all show a willingness to
carry out her instructions. Four ap-
plications have been made for ad-

one was accepted and three rejected,
owing to the advanced stage of the
disease.
The nurse states that sputum cups
are badly needed. In fact, 1t Is i'm
possible to carry on the work with
out them, as expectorations are now
made anywhere and this is the great
est source of spreading the disease.
A patient uses two sputum cups a
day and they are Immediately burn
ed. The cups cost at the rate of
about twenty for twenty-five cents.
The patients show some hesitancy In
securing these cups for themselves,
although express their willingness to
use them. The society has therefore
decided to buy 1000 cups and the
nurse will endeavor to sell them to
the patients, but where the patient
is not able to pay the society will
furnish the cups. This alone means
a cost OF about sixty-six cents q day
But the society Is also buying milk
and eggs for the patients and with
paying the nurse her salary of $55
a month, the funds on hand are
dwindling.
The nurse was hired for only two
months, but 1t was decided at the
meeting to see If she would continue
at the same salary for three months
more. This she has consented to do,

Inspector for Utility Board
Testifies at Hearing in Isr-
sey City Today.
ARE PUT In CLASS B"
Danger Here 10 Surpassed
Only by ivy Grade Cross
lngs In Elizabsthport.

Especial by Staff Correspondent
Jersey City, July 11.-That the
railroad grade crossings which the
Perth Amboy city authorities seek to
have eliminated are the second most
dangerous in the state, was the sub
stance of Public Utility Inspector
James Mabury's testimony before the
Board Of Public Utility Commission
ers at a hearing in the Union Trust
building here today. His testimony
opened and closed the supply of eyi-
dence regarding the necessity for the
elimination of the crossings in ques-
ton. The hearing was adjourned at
12.45 o'clock this afternoon until 2
p. m. July 25, at which time counsel
for all sides will argue on the sub
ject.
According to Inspector Mabury,
only two crossings in the state both
situated at Elizabethport, which have
been recognized as Veriable death
traps because of their toll of hu-
man lives, were more dangerous than
those along the line of the Central
railroad and the New Brunswick ave-
nue. and Washington street crossings
of the Lehigh Valley in Perth Am
boy. He rated the crossings in Perth
Amboy as "B," meaning they were
the second most dangerous. Those
two at Elizabethport, where there
have been more fatalities than at any
other grade crossing in New Jersey,
he rated as "a" Under the rules
upon which the ratings are based
there are four that Is GA" "B, &C"
and Cd" He was questioned closely
by City Attorney c. c. Hommann and
Attorneys George Holmes for the
Central railroad and A. ~. Boles for
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany.

utility commissioners, L. d. II. Gil

CHILD'S PISTOL SCARES
HOUSE Of COMMONS

London, July 11:-A sensational
suffrage demonstration. a part Of
which was the frightening of the
House OF Commons into the belief
that the members were being threat
ened with large size pistol, occurred
while Solicitor General Simon was
addressing the Commons today. The
chamber was thrown into a great
confusion and the two male suffra-
gettes' responsible for the outbreak
were arrested. A sharp report was
heard from the shining object in the
mans hand. Officials and spectators
pounced upon him and he was soon
overpowered. When the weapon"
was inspected by the speaker and
members of the House, 1t was found
to be merely a child's toy pistol. The
report was nothing more than the ex-
plosion Of a PERCUSSION cap.

NEW FERRY IS
STILL DELAYED
President of Company See
Little Hope This Year.

1t is unlikely that the Perth Am
boy and Tottenville Ferry Company
will operate ferry boats between this
city and Tottenville this year, as had
been expected, according to the head
of the company. The officials declare
the reason to be the absence of a
franchise to run to the foot of Bent
ley street in Tottenville. From other
sources come reports that the com
pany is not really active in securing
a franchise on the New York side,
but is holding off in an effort to sell
to competing company. AS recent
Iy told, efforts were made to run
down the rumors without avail.
President G. G. Baldwin, of the
new company, states it is still active
ly engaged In work to secure fran
chise in Tottenville. The granting OF
this is up to New York officials, prin-
cipaIly Dock Commissioner Smith,
Mr.. Baldwin says these men are pro-
badly away on vacations now, elm
mating possibility Of procuring their
acton in the matter at this time, He
states It looks as though the COM
pany would not be able to begin
operations this year.
1t has been expected that the com
pany could have established ferry
services across the sound by May | OF
this year. Under terms of It's lease
with the city for rights at the end OF
Washington street, the company
should have boats running at the
present time. The lease was execut-
ed in December and under its terms
operations should have been started
within six months from that time
unless detained by good and sutli-
cient cause The Board of HarboT
Commissioner has the matter under
consideration.

FreshOIdsrs Recommend an
Allotment of $4,000 from
Motor VehicIs Fund.
$4,000 TO SOUTH kMB0l
Would be for New Bruns-
wick and Amboy Avenues
and Stevens Ave. at S. A.

Action has been taken by the
Board of Chosen Freeholders to have
New Brunswick and Amboy avenues
in this city, and Stevens avenue in
South Amboy, improved by means of
an allotment from the countys por-
ton of the state motor vehicle fund.
The board has adopted resolutions,
recommending to the state road
commissioner that an allotment OF
$4,000 be made for improving the
thoroughfare in this city and one of
$4,000 for improving Stevens ave-
nue. in South Amboy.
1t is claimed that under existing
laws it Is impossible for the county
to do road repair work in the cities.
Livingstone avenue in New Bruns-
wick has already been improved and
as the only remaining cities in the
county which have not been bene-
fited are this city and South Am
boy, the freeholders are endeayoring
to aid them. City officials lead by
Mayor Ferd Garretson, have been
trying with every effort to have the
state or county pay for improving
the surface Of New Brunswick and
Amboy avenues. 1t was thought that
Amboy avenue might be given a new
top surface by means of making 1t
part of q state highway to extend
from Newark to South Jersey.
The resolutions adopted by the
freeholders making the recommen-
dations are as follows.
Whereas, certain money from the
motor vehicle fund has been allotted
to the county of Middlesex, and
Whereas, under the existing laws
it Is impossible for the county to do
any road repair work In the cities OF
the county, and
Whereas, Livingston avenue, in
the city of New Brunswick has al
ready been improved by the county
of Middlesex, and
Whereas. the only remaining ci-
ties which have not been aided In
the improvement of the streets are
South Amboy and Perth Amboy, and
Whereas, such aid can be given
only by the recommendation of the
board to the State Road Commis-
sioner;
Therefore be it resolved that this
| board recommend to the State Road
I Commissioner that there be allotted
from MiddeseN county's portion of
the motor vehicle fund to the city
of South Amboy for the improve
ment of Stevens avenue the sum OF
five thousand dollars, and to the
city of Perth Amboy for the i'm
provement OF New Brunswick ave-
nue. and Amboy avenue, the sum of
fifteen thousand dollars
Besides the adopting of the reso-
luton to give the road funds 30 Perth
Amboy, the freeholders, at their
meeting yesterday, gave the Owego
Bridge Company five weeks in which
to complete the bridge over Cheese
quake creek. After that time the
county Will deduct s25 per day from
the contract price for every day the
bridge remains unfinished.

Hnrbor Board Will Ask Gov
srment Not to Renew Per-
nit of Gregory Co.
ALSO ASKS RIPARIAN BD.
lanes w. Henderson Present
at Meeting Last Night With
Petition of Citizens.

The Board of Harbor Commis-
sioners last night took hand in the
movement for the abatemeQt of tho
nuisance complained of by citizens OF
the southern part of the city, which
is alleged to be caused by the marine
graveyard of the Gregory Wrecking
and Contracting Company at the
foot of Brighton and Madison ave-
nues. The board decided to request
the State Riparian Board and the
War Department to renew no per
mits for the use of any party along
the southern shore front for the pur-
pose of using same as Is now being
done by the Gregory company.
James w. Henderson, of 90 High
street, was present at the meeting
and presented to the board the petit
ton for the elimination of the ma
rine graveyard nuisance, which had
been signed by flfty-f1ve citizens of
the southern section OF the city in
protest meeting held at Martins hail
July 2. This was the same petition
that was submitted to the Board OF
Aldermen at their last meeting.
AS the city does not own the ri
parian rights to the street ends,
which are confronted with old hulks
the Harbor Board cannot take any
drastic action In the matter, but be-
lieve that the War Department and
the Safe Riparian Board will give
their recommendation obtecting to
the renewal of permits to use this
water for wrecking purposes serious
consideration, and may act favora-
bly, on their request. The permits
for the rights as the Gregory COM
pany holds expire August /, and II
they are not renewed, the company
will have no right to use the water
after that date for the purposes as
1t is now doing. The concern has
applications in for renewals, and be-
fore the state body and the War
Department make a definite decision
they may hold hearings to ascertain
the extent of the nuisances causing
complaint.
At the committee meeting OF the
Board of Aldermen July 18, the
Harbor Commissioners intend to
confer with them relative to mat
ters which the latter believe will ia
cilitate their getting possession OF
all tne SnOre IrOut oI lne CITY tHdt IN
legally possible.
The commissioners are seriously
considering the Perth Amboy and
Tottenville Ferry Company's long
delay in beginning the operation of
the new ferry, and intend to take
the matter up strenuously to search
out the cause of such delay.
The meeting last night was a spe-
cial one to consider the nuisance OF
the marine graveyard, and the board
will meet again regularly Monday
n1pht.

Z like the Giants as smooth ma
chine, not as powerful one. They
are not as likely to come up any old
inning and knock that ball game into
1,400 scattered pieces. In series of
this sort their pitching has got to be
almost unbeatable to give them a
chance, and then, again, they must
support the pitching.
Another important point is that the

two worlds series-one to the Ath-
letics and one to the Red Sox-while
the present Philadelphia team has
WON two-one from the Cubs and
one from the Giants.
The present Athletics have never
