Wants Mass Meeting

Editor Review: AS there seems
to be so much misunderstanding
among many well meaning people
regarding proposed park sites.
due to some misconceived ideas
and misrepresentation deliber-
ately made for the express pur-
pose of poisoning the public mind
against the truth, suggest
that we have a well advertised.
well attended meeting, either in
the city hall or high school au-
ditorium. and there let the truth
be known. for il is the truth that
makes us free.
The story is being freely cir
culated that one of the recon-
mended park sites is a worthless
steep hillside, directly in front
of my place and that ! had the
same recommended so as TO pre-
vent a river view from being OBJ
structed.
For information of those who
are reporting or giving credence
to these stories. permit me TO
state That the Western Cooper
age Co.. a corporation. owns the
land between my place and the
river and that the same was
never thought of. nor considered
for one moment by the commit
tee; That the proposed park site
extends from near Mr. Thur
mans 10 point south and west
of John Edlefesen's and not in
the same block TO mine with
street extended. That no part
of any proposed park is in front
of my place and that the one
rendered by Mr.. Stearns, which
embraces the Allen tract and
some of his. Is the only one where
some birds or animals could be
kept for benefit of the children.
There is as much or more level
land in the Allen-Stearns tracts
as i'm the Jaeger or Caple tracts.
besides the tender embraces a
road way 10 the dry docks for
the benefit of the laboring men
of the city. who now have to
pass over private property on
their way TO labor. | wonder If
the laboring men of st. Johns
are TO receive no consideration
whatever in this park location
question.
When the Panama Canal is
completed six times as many
ships will pass up the river as
now and that viii mean six
times as much labor at the dry
docks as now, provided the same
are opened up, and that would
mean home employment, home
work, and increased home in
dustry.
Give us a public meeting so
the truth may become general.

chises and true Jury reform,
Senator Pierce SHE'D his castor
into the governorship ring absolute
ly Independent of any action by any
state leaders. He is the second reg
ular Republican to seek the nomina-
ton, former Congressman Charles
N. Fowler, of the same county, hav-
ing entered the race some time ago.
The Republican leaders are casting
about for a candidate upon whom
they can center their support, and
many of them are turning to former
Governor Edward 9. Stokes. 1t is
predicted by some that following the
meeting tomorrow of the Republican
State Committee, Mr.. Stokes will an
nounce his candidacy, as he is being
urged from all sections of the state
to enter the field. Former State
President John d. Prince has told
some of his friends he would be a
candidate, but has not announced
himself yet.
II Senator Pierce resigns as sena-
tor to make the fight for governor,
an election for senator will have to
be held in Union county this fall,
making nine senators that must be
chosen, record breaking number in
recent years In this state, and adding
much to the Importance of the fight
for the control of the 1914 legisla-
ture. Senator Pierce has one more
year to serve in the senate.
He was born in Trenton in 1857, is
a lawyer, served in the assembly
from 1908 to 1910 and was elected
to the senate In 1911, beginning his
three year term in January, 1912.
He is an aggressive and painstaking
legislator and is noted for his inde-
pendence, though having always re-
mained In the Republicans ranks.
His statement is as follows:
Convinced that certain legislation
have been advocating can be ac-
complished only after State wide dis
cussion. am proposing to run for
governor in the Republican primary,

tions.

pushed as far as individual effort can
carry them. All are opposed by pow

LARGER POLICE
COURT NEEDED
Chief Burke Declares Pres
ant Room Entirely too Small
for Volume of Business
HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE
Clerk to Keep Records Also
Rscommended-- Laxity in
Bringing Prisoners Up
HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE

1t has become evident to the po-
lice authorities that a larger court
room Is needed as well as q clerk for
the proper maintenance of court rec
ords. During several court sessions
of late the attendance has been SO
large that people have swarmed
about the doors and windows of the
room and made 1t almost impossible
for those within to breathe. The
court room, which Is located in the
southwesterly part of the ground
floor of the police station, is entirely
too small for the volume of busi-
ness now transacted there, accord
Ing to CHER of Police Patrick ].
Burke. 1t will comfortably seat
about fifty people. With night ses-
sIons limited to one or two a week
the attendance has become unusually
large when hearings are being held
in the evening.
The patrolmen's assembly room
above the court room was recently
extended from the west to the east
erly side of the building to afford
assembling space for the growing
force. Just how the court room can
be extended, is a problem which has
not yet been solved. 1t may be
heightened about seven feet by re-
moving a closet at the easterly end,
but that would hardly give sufficient
space. One official has suggested
that certain sessions be held in the
council chamber of city hall. This
suggestion may be brought before
the aldermen shortly
At the present time practically all
of the court and police department
records are being Kept by Desk Ser
geant Durham. When he is not on
duty the work is either neglected or
done incorrectly. This has served
to demonstrate to some that clerk
is needed. In conjunction with this
it is declared there is a laxity In
bringing prisoners, arrested on war
rants, to the desk for records of their
pedigrees.

Firemen Late In Arriving.

Binghamton. N. Y, July 23.-Thou-
sands came from surrounding towns
and villages today and watched the
grewsome work Of searching for bodies
In the ruins Of the factory fire, tho
biggest disaster In a decade In this
city.
A few minutes before 8 o'clock yes
terday afternoon the clang of the auto
matte fire alarm gong stopped the
busy fingers Of 125 young girls at work
over the machines of the Binghamton
Clothing company. They were not
startled or alarmed.
TITS only another one of those old
nre drills. I'm not going down into
the street dressed as l am and make
n show of myself"
The girls, most Of them, settled back
10 work. Two minutes later they
were dying miserably In flames and
smoke or crushing each other in hope
less attempts to escape down a single
stairway and the two narrow fire lad
ders. In eighteen minutes the four
story factory OF approved factory con-
struction" was a mass of ashes and
embers-wall. roof and supports fallen
In.
At least fifty Of the girls are dead.
their bodies consumed or charred In
the smoking debris Of the factory. At
least fifty more are injured. many
fatally. OF the 125 girls on the pay.
roll, only seventeen have been ac-
counted for as uninjured Twenty.
two are In the hospitals. Eight are be-
Ing cared for in private homes. Pos
sibly twenty or twenty-five who sur
vived the dreadful rush OF fame and
smoke or who fought their way to the
streets over the bodies Of their work
mates. fed away to their homes before
1remen or police could learn their
Identity. SO far. though, 1t is only
guesswork to attempt to say how
many actually got out of the fire alive
and unhurt.
Deaths May Reach Seventy.
President Freeman OF the Overall
Manufacturing company and his book
keeper Insist that there were less than
123 girls In the factory, since some
WNAC VA FhNutioh A tic SIlleI dodR
says, though, that there were 100 girls
closely packed on the four floors, SO
that the estimate Of fifty dead Is as
low as can reasonably be made. When
the story is told and the lists are
checked up no one will be surprised II
the death roll runs to sixty-fve or sew
enty.
Three hospitals-the City. the Terrace
and the Moore-Overton-are caring for
the injured, some of whom are so
dreadfully burned that they cannot
possibly live. Others whose lives are
hoped for are In frightful agony
Around the hospitals great crowds
thousands have come here from near
