CARABA0 OFFICIALS
MAKE EXPLANATION
They Express Regret That
President and Cabinet
Were Displeased.
DANIELS GIVES VIEWS
AS Result of Statements Made
and Accepted, Incident Is
Probably Closed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--Secre-
taries Garrison and Daniels received
today an explanation from Major Gem
eral Aleshire, U. S. A, Brigadier General
Mcintyre, U. S. A, and Rear Admiral
Howard, of the incidents at the recent
dinner Of the military order of the
Carabao, which had aroused the dis
cabinet
Secretary Garrison will confer with
Secretary Daniels tomorrow and joint
report will be made to President
Wilson. Secretary Daniels said to-
night that his suggestion TO Rear Adj
miral Howard that he decline TO ac-
cept the presidency of the Carrabao
society, to which he was recently
elected, extended to other prominent
officers in the navy.
Secretary Daniels Talks.
SIN view of. the criticism Of the re.
cent dinner" said Mr.. Daniels, "!
think it would not be wise for any OF
the older officers to take office In the
organization now When everything
that is offensive or reflects on the ad-
ministration has been taken out, it
might be all right Tor them to take
an active part. :"
Mr.. Daniels pointed out that the
president, as commander-in-c of the
army and navy, could not permit re-
hections on his policies to be openly
criticised by army and navy officers.
He did not comment on the letter re-
ceived from three officers OF the Cara
bao. This letter, addressed to the Sec
retary of the navy, follows:
We have been appointed by the
committee in charge Of the recent
annual dinner. Military Order Of
submit certain data to the secre-
tary Of war requested by him.
Regret Expressed.
The subcommittee also desires
to express to you the deepest re-
gret at the criticism in the press
Of the recent Carabao dinner. The
society. composed largely of army
and navy officers, is greatly dis
tressed that anything in it's enter
tainment should be offensive to its
invited guests. The principal song
reported to have given offense was
composed by soldiers on the way
to the Philippines in 1893, and has
been sung at Carabao dinners and
similar occasions ever since.
It was not on the programme for
the recent dinner, but was sung
once, and when asked for q sec
ond time, was refused by the Of
fcer presiding at the singing table.
During the dinner there have al
ways been presented entertaining
features and the songs have been
practically the same on all such
occasions.

CROSSING AGAIN
Gates Down 80 Minutes Be-
lisvs Tender Asleep.

Further complaint concerning the
blocking of New Brunswick avenue
at the Central railroad crossing was
made by Patrolman Andrew Jensen
early this morning. He found that
a gate-tender had the gates down
for almost an hour this morning and
in that time only a single train pass
ed. When the officer appealed to
the man in charge to raise the gates,
he abused him and said he would at
tend to the crossing, Whereupon
Jensen said he would report the gate
tender as a man unfit 10 work at the
crossing,
Officer Jensen found the gates
down at 12:40 o'clock this morning.
He waited and saw they were kept
down until 1902 o'clock. At that
time he began to wonder as to what
the trouble could be. He waited FIVE
minutes more and finding the guard
rails were not raised he approached
the tender in his shanty, AT first
the man said he could see no harm in
leaving them down, so long as there
was no street traffic. Later he be-
came highly abusive. Indications
were to the officer that the man left
the gates down so that he could
sleep, as it was claimed a man did
recently at another crossing

will attend.
At the meeting OF the Board OF
Trustees of the public library, held
.ast night, it was decided that 500
be expended for the purchase of
books. Commissioner Albert Leon
proposed several methods of making
the library more attractive. All
were discussed and generally favored,
but none were acted upon as the
members believe they have only
sufficient funds to buy some OF the
books they need and therefore are
not in a position, at least at present.
to furnish any exhibitions or similar
features as suggested by Mr.. Leon.
A request was received from the
librarian that she and her first as
sistant, Miss C. A. Bovine, be allowed
TO attend the American Library Asso-
cations convention which will be
held in Kaaterskill, N. Y, beginning
June 23. 1t was voted that $50 be
appropriated for this purpose.

According to decisions T~ade at a

Friday night, 1t had been expected
that the 1913 budget would have

CARNIVAL TOOK
ABOUT $4,000
Hospitals Net Share $685.
PLEASED With Result.

About $4,000 were collected by the
Johnny J. Jones carnival shows here
during the six days of gala festivities
last week, as shown by the receipts
divided with the Perth Amboy City
Hospital Association. The hospital,
as its net share, received 1886, or
$1,218 gross from the proceeds of
the aggregation of shows.
The institution bore the expense of
the newspaper advertising, posting OF
bills. installation of electric lights
and for the current consumed, which
nors of the institution will hold q
meeting within the next week to con-
slider the results of the carnival and
probably devise other means for
raising funds for the addition to the
present hospital building. The gov
ernors do not intend to wait until
the necessary fund Of about SIS, 700
has been secured before supplement-
ing the addition, but will probably
have work begun on same this sum
mer.
The Board of Governors, OF which
s. r. Harrington is president, are
much pleased with the success of last
week, and are well satisfied with the
straightforward treatment accorded
them by the show management. They
desire to publicly thank all those
who so earnestly lent their efforts.

largement. They especially desire 70
express their gratitude to the fire de-
partment and the knights of Colum-
bus, who diligently aided them in the
laborious work of supplying repre-
sentatives to take tickets on the field,

1t is not thought likely that the
board will use the method utilized
last week again for raising funds for
a long period, certainly not this year.
