In my first glance shoreward as !

water off Manila, got an object
lesson "a concretesexample of the
sort of thing that had been accom-
plished here in physical way by
American initiative and enterprise
and through American good govern
ment. Rising in the distance above
a plain was the low, gray wall of
the Manila of the Spaniards, built
$50 years ago. Its moss covered
side not only marked the sea front
of the town, but theilimit of pro-
gress of the country toward civili
cation after three and half cen
turtles of Spanish rule.
The breakwater that gave Man
lila harbor, fine piece of engi-
neering and construction work
that would compare favorably with
that OF Dover, at which so many
Channel-crossing Americans have
gazed with envious admiration was
Iput there by Americans. But this
was not what made the whole
appeal. Back of a fine permanent
sea wall, which stretched as fur to
right and to left as the eye could
take in, was a big area of land that
had simply been scooped as mud
from the bottom of the bay and
dumped there to such a breadth
that the old Spanish wall was left
far inland. Here was enough
ground to support a new city,
absolutely created" out of the
water, with modern docks, and
bearing hinge concrete structures
that would do credit to our richest
city, and hundreds of years in
advance of that old Spanish wall.
In going about the city l saw an
American trolley line doing a ire
mendous business, and helping in
the development of suburban real
estate. American policemen were
standing at congested corners

The city of Perth Amboy is to be congratulated in hav
ing real representative Washington the person of
present Congressman Mr.. T. j. Scuy Mr. Scuy is able

o my mind there is little doubt that the proposed water

It to that complete channel through the Kill

JUDGE LYON is
AGAINST PLAN
Change Of Name Would Not
Improve Movement.

Even though Frank A. Munsey's g
idea Of joining the Republican and
Progressives of the country in par
ty called the Liberal party, has been
ratified by former Governor E. G..
Stokes, of New Jersey. the local Pro-
gressives are not SO much in har-
mopy with the plan.
Judge Adrian Lyon in speaking Of
the movement today to an EVENING
NEWS representative, denounced the
proposed propaganda as a move that
would prove ineffective in accom-
plishing the principles of the Pro-
gressive party He is of the opin-
ion that change of name for par
ty that would still emboG.- that from
which the Progressives deliberately
complishing the principles of the
Bull Moose adherents. Judge Lyon,
speaking for himself said: 81 am not
in sympathy with the movement at
all. ! am not IN sympathy with
Munsey's plan or any other plan
looking to compromise between the
Progressive and Republican parties.
1t seems so hard for people to get
into their minds the fact that the
Progressive party is separate party,
and as distinct from the Republican
party as 1t Is from the Democratic
party"
Judge Lyon belives 1t is more log
ical that the Progressives form a
coalition with the Democratic party
than with the Republican.

NAME SUPT. OF
CITY HOSPITAL
Miss Mary R. Hermann of
New York Is Selected by
the Managers.
WILL START JANUARY 81
Recently at Bellevue Hcspi-
taI--Comss Here With Best
of Recommendations.

Commencing on January 81 Miss
Mary r. Hermann, of New York
City, will serve as superintendent OF
the City Hospital. She has been Sc
lected by the Board Of Managers of
the institution to serve permanently
in that position, replacing Miss
Bessie Blair, who is now serving
temporarily. The latter will most
likely remain at the institution. She
will probably assist Miss Hermann
in supervising the work at the hos
pital.
The appointment Of Miss Herr
mann as superintendent was brought
about by the recent ousting of Miss
Alice s. Wood. She had served as
head Of the institution and together
with her assistant, Miss Sarah E.
Engvall, and the night superintend-
ent, Miss Nell McAteer, severed con-
nections with the institution when
informed that her services were no
longer desired. The charge against
Miss Wood and Miss Engvall was in
fraction of rule to leave the insti-
tuition without notifying manager.
Miss McAteer was discharged for
talking over the telephone with Or.
Edward Hanson, Managers charged
they used the hospital wire for half
an hour.
Miss Hermann comes highly
recommended, according to the man
ayers who engaged her. In announc-
ing her appointment today, they
stated: Her references are of a
very high order from each place
where she has been stationed and in
clude one from the superintendent oi
Hahnemann Hospital, New York
City. The committee has every con-
fidence In the selection of Miss Herr
mann and feel sure of the continued
success of the institution"
Miss Hermann is Il graduate of
the Elizabeth General Hospital and
a post graduate of the Women's Hos
p.tal of New York City. She acted
as assistant superintendent of Mid
dletown Hospital, Middletown, Conn.
for year and was then called to the
Elizabeth General Hospital again,
where she served for three years as
director of nurses and In full charge
of the training school. since which
time she has been in the admitting

An approved working basis for thA

officers of the board and the citizens
committee. They met in the cam
paign headquarters at 178 Smith
street and threshed out a proposi-
tion to start Board of Trade work
right. A long platform. containing
some of the many new things to be
undertaken was adopted 1t will
probably be fully completed and pub
lished next Tuesday.
The board will undertake to carry
out ideas and suggestions to make
the city bigger, brighter and bet
ter one to live in. Its advantages
over most cities in the country are
numerous, 1t Is claimed. The facts
that 1t has a large area to spread
over westward and northward, that
1t has water on three sides and is SO
favorably situated at the mouth of
the Raritan river and at the head of
Raritan Bay, give it an unusually
good future, according to the Board
of Trade
Demand for seats at the get-to-
Packer House, commencing at $50

dining room capacity. So numerous
are the applications that there is talk
of holding an overflow dinner at
some other place in order to accom-
modate all who apply. The commit
tee is delighted with the enthusiasm
being shown by the busineE men In
the movement.

amazement at her revelations of

SHINGLE ROOFS
NOT PERMITTED
Still Barred in Revised Build
ina Code--Aldermen Talk.

The building code will be made to
conform with those of number OF
other cities with respect to the use
of building blocks, according to a
decision of the Board of Aldermen
at It's committee meeting last night.
The request to change the code so
as to permit the use of shingles for
roofing within the city limits will not
be granted. They were deemed un-
desirable because of fires.
The code at present does not speci-
fly as to how fireproof blocks of clay
and cement shall be used. To insure
safe construction Building Inspector
Mcnamara has caused contractors to
make walls Of such materials thick
er than is required when brick is
used. Builders have objected.

it was discovered there were thir-
teen In the party.

ways in an agreeable connection" +"
said Governor Wilson. The Presi-
dent-Elect then recalled that he
started on the Chicago trip on Fri
day and noted he would return to
Trenton on Monday the 13.
That Governor Wilson had left the
burden of politics behind was shown
by his humorous indulgence in story
telling and small talks with his trav-
cling companions. He jokingly child
ed one member for carrying silk hat
box containing dress suit, and
when asked II he had brought along
a title" he explained that he never
wore a silk hat except when 1t was
unavoidable and he disliked them in
tensely for personal use.
When Governor Wilson noted the
presence of typewriters on his car he
said, II must have my old machine
fixed up; I've neglected that too long
for / frequently have occasion to use
it, Governor Wilson is typist
as well as an expert stenographer,
and for many years did much of his
literary work on an old fashion ma
chine. 1t intimated that he might
write his first message to congress In
that way. "I'm not especially rapid. "
he said, "but I get over the ground
about twice as fast as writing long
hand" The governor criticized the
modern typewriter because the key
board was invented by a left handed
man. He said the letters one want
to use the most were on the left side
of the keyboard.
