His lively remarks came in the midst
of a languid session of the council at
which eight of the fifteen aldermen
were present. The glooms dispersed
the old body back in its old state of
mind with members sassy as ever and
ready to mix. Plageman found fault
with the city for the inadequate wat
er supply, its failure to police the rail-
road crossings and laxity in enforcing
the laws that govern the roads He
combined the two complaints in his
speech.

NO ACTION rs TAKEN.

Though but a few days have passed
the Prohl tragedy which stirred Ham
mond as nothing of the kind ever did
before it is almost erased from the
public mind. Though the memory of
John Prohl as a man and citizen will
always be retained in the minds OF the
present generation it is regrettable
that the incidents surrounding his
death and the warning they give are
passing. The Hammond city council
discussed the railroads and the ira gedy
at a meeting last evening. but ac-
ton was taken. The inquest into the
death of Mr.. Prohl promised to be a
most thorough and final accounting,
but it developed today that no new evil
dence has been secured by the coroner
or his deputy.

ADMISSIONS TO PRIEST
HELPED TO FREE men

New Brunswick, July 12.-John
Dreytarka, who was sent to State
prison December %, 1911, for d term
of from ten to twenty years by
Judge DAILY. on a conviction OF car
nal abuse and who was paroled Tues
day by the Court Of Pardons, which
sat at Sea Girt, owes hia freedom
to Lawyer George L. Burton, who
has been his counsel at his trial here
and who has been fighting for his
pardon since.
The defense OF this man was one
of the first important cases Mr.. Bur-
ton had after being admitted to the
bar. He took a great interest in the
poor foreigner, whose story of inno-
cence he believed from the first. The
lawyer hired a detective to thorough
ly investigate the case and unearth-
ed some new evidence which had a
great weight with the Court OF Par
dons.
Drevjarka had lived at Fords,
where he was trying to establish a
home to bring his wife and seven
children. six Of them being very
young, from the old country. He
was charged with assaulting Annie
Nieglisi of Keasbey, under twelve
years, at time the county was
shocked with a series Of such crimes
He denied the charge and claimed
that It had been trumped up against
him because OF an alteration he had
with some children over wood, which
he and they were gathering.
The trial occupied two days and
the jury was out long time. Mr.
Burton endeavored to get new trial
but it was not granted. He then
interested the Austro-Hungarian con-
cul, G. Victor Won Nuber, in the case.
Admissions which the accusing
girl made to Rev. Father Szucky, Of
Perth Amboy, after the trial, were
part Of the evidence on which the
parole was granted.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED
SCORING CITY OFFICIALS

Because of the slow progress un-
der way in preparing for the extern
sion of Convery place over the Le-
high Valley railroad tracks in the
western part of the city, members of
the Western improvement associa-
ton have become thoroughly dis
gusted and claim the city officials are
negligent. They made this plain at
meeting last night in the Casino,
at which they adopted resolution
as follows:
Resolved, that this association is
highly disgusted with the slow pro-
gress made In regard to the Convery
place matter; that it is the sense of
the association that the proper Of
ficials have been negligent in the
matter, and that the committee con-
tinue to work on same"

of some kind, probably clambake,
to be held about August 16. Ras-

GUSTAV J0ST OUT FOR
EXCISE COMMISSIONER

Among the aspirants to the honor
able board of excise commissioners has
arisen another candidate. Gustav Jost,
Of 164 Chauncey street, declares that
he will seek tho primary preference Of
the Democratic party in September.
Not even the summer politics of the
Progressive party have brought forth a
man that they will endorse to seek the
ommissionership made vacant by the
removal of Harry Germs from this place
to Missouri. Bith the Democrats and
the Republicans are loathe to select a
man for the primary, as a place on the
present board is not looked upon as
one which would rebound to the credit
Of either party, unless the successful
candidate were absolutely unlmpeach-
able. To find such man that would
risk contamination in the board is not
by any means an easy task,

AS result Of the accident yesterday
in which DIR. J. s. Hays Paige auto
mobile crashed into a Singer sewing
machine wagon when the doctor was
blinded by water from trolley sprink-
ler, he has retained Thomas Brown to
recover from the Public Service Rail
way Company. While it was the physi-
clans machine which did the damage,
by crashing into the Singer rig, the auto
driver will endeavor to recover an
amount to cover the entire damage from
the Public Service, holding that under
the law the traction company was re-
sponsible for the accident by render
ing the force which set the wrong in
milton.
DR.. Hay was driving his machine up
Smith street. As he neared the Singer
rig, which was standing at the side Of
the street, Public Service car
sprinkler happened along. The physi-
clan says the crew neglected to turn
off the water to. allow him to pass and
as a result 1t was squirted over his
machine and himself, temporarily
binding him in such manner as to
cause him to lose control Of the auto
mobile. At that instant 1t collided
with the wagon. The machine was
damaged to the extent of about $40
and the wagon to the extent Of
about S26.

Alderman Clark Chrirman of
Committee is Considering
Sevsral Good Propositions
MAY USE INCAhDESCENS
Suggestion That Flaming
Arcs be Secured Present
Lamps Not Satisfactory

While Perth Amboy Is classed
among the best lighted cities in the
state, efforts are under way among
city officials to make 1t even more
brilliant by night. A proposition Is
under way by Alderman John j.
Clark, chairman of the committee on
lamps and lights, and City Electri-
clan Jay B. FRANKIE to light the city
in a good manner for the lowest cost
possible To that end they would
replace the present ordinary street
arcs with high-powered incandes-
cent bulbs, somewhat similar to
those now used In city hall park.
Mr.. Clark has already made provi-
sion for trying out the 300-candle-
power incandescent lamps in Wood
ruff place and on Maple street, at
ruff place and on Maple street, at
and Market streets
The ordinary street arc Is suppos-
ed to produce 1000 candlepower, or
less than one-quarters of the amount
according to Mr.. Clark. The mean
dencent bulbs that the alderman has
In mind, are of 800 candlepower
and are guaranteed to produce at
least eighty per cent Of that amount
he states. The difference In cost for
current per year between the two
kinds Of bulbs Is s48 each. Arcs
now cost $50 year and the new
kind of bulbs would cost $32. They
would be so erected that pedestrians
would not ordinarily notice any diff
ference says the lamp committee
chairman.
Mr.. Clark has been apprised of q
proposition to replace ordinary arc
lamps with brilliant flaming arcs
which the city of Newark Is endea-
voring to carry through. He is
watching the progress with interest
The Newark officials would endeavor
to thus make the city one of the
best lighted communities in the
country. The question at Issue is
the COST The city's street arcs now
cost sos year, while the flaming
arcs used on Its white way" cost
1920 year.

South AmboY Terra Gotta
Contribute Generously to
Fund for the Building.
COMMITTEE IS PLEASED
Hope to Secure Balance Of
Money Needed by Next
Wednesday Night.

The South Amboy Terra Gotta
Company, of South Amboy, has do
mated $500 cash to the building fund
of the Y. M. G. A. This donation Is
considered by the association as most
meritorious in view of the fact that
the terra Gotta works is not yet a
huge concern. A committee of the
association called on Peter G. Olsen,
president of the company, yesterday
and were promised the above.
Mr.. Olsen spoke highly of the eff
Client work done by the Y, M. G. A.
in general and expressed his desire
that his men should receive some of
the benefits of the new institution
building. The committee told him
that his men would be as cordially
welcome to share the privileges and
advantages of the building as men
in Perth Amboy. The association
would like 1t emphatically under
stood that no matter II the applicant
that desires use of the building is
from South Amboy or any other su-
burban town that he will be accord
ed the same rights and privileges
Of a person living nearer to the
building.
The committees of the association
who are endeavoring to raise the
necessary funds by next Wednes-
day with which to begin the erec-
tion of the building at once, feel
elated at the contribution from the
terra Gotta works and believe the
example of this concern will have q
proper effect on the larger manufac-
.turers of Perth Amboy.
