ManitoWoc have started him in a pool
and billiard business and that he an
not make UP his mind to leave there.
Mac still has hopes Of landing him,
though. Harold Leach, the Kansas
~1eft-hander, who belongs to salt Lake
and who Leo Dressan says is u better
pitcher than he ever dared be, has not
yet replied to McCloskey's offer. 1t
is highly likely, though, hat he will
report. Cooley had him ready to re-
port in 1911 and again in 1912, but
allied to send for him either time, SO
that the Kansas school teacher may
have lost interest. McCloskey is anx-
ious to look him over, at least. In adj
dition to the above named beavers
Mac no doubt has several good young
sters under GOVERN fact, Mac always
smiles a wait and see smile when
ever he is asked what pitchers he has.

"SM0QTH|NG OUT"
TO COME THIS
WEEK
PRESIDENT AND CONGRESSIONAL
LEADERS PREPARE WAY
FOR TARIFF BILL.

Washington, March 80. - The
'smoQthing out" process to b. begun
this week in preparation for the han
ding of the tariff revision in the ex-
ira session of congress that opens
April 7, is regarded by congressional
leaders as he most important step in
the tariff preliminaries.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
senate finance committee, will confer
shortly with Chairman Underwood of
the house Ways and means committee
and both will talk with President Will
o M arrange for further confer
ences. While the tariff bill practical
ly is complete, important develop
ments hang upon the decisions of
President Wilson n upon the result
of a full canvas of the democrats of
the senate.
To President Wilson will be left the
final decision as to whether there
shall be one general revision bill or
separate measures for each of the diff
ferent schedules of the tariff laW. A
majority of the house tariff makers
favor the single bill idea, and if Pres
ident Wilson supports the plan, a sin
gle bill will be offered to the house.
This plan already has aroused sharp
opposition in the senate, however. The
free sugar and Is per cent duty on
raw wool provided for in the bill by
the house committee will be the tar
get for attack in the senate not only
from republicans but from democrats
who come from wool or sugar states.
Will Split Bill.
Should a single general tariff bill be
introduced with the approval of Pres
ident Wilson it is believed the senate
democratic leaders will be forced to
yield to the demand for separate
separate votes. In such event they
might he taken out of the general tar
if bill and passed as amendments.
The extent to which President Will
son may desire a reduction of duties
on agricultural products, comprised in
the so-called market basket" list, will
have a marked Influence on the sup
port that nay be given the new tar
if revision by progressive republicans.
The tariff on wheat. barley, oats and
other farm products practically has
been cut in half by the house commit
tee.
If this rate of duty is approved by
President Wilson, it is believed a large
body of progressive republicans of the
house will vote for the democratic bill
unless other reductions are so extreme
as to make them change their plans.

New York, March 30.-Though there
are many sets of indoor games to be
held before the weather will permit
of competition outdoors, the board floor
season so far as important fixtures
go, may be considered as ended with
the Military Athletic league champion
to end the performances of one nan
have stood ont in a manner to entitle
him without question to pretty nearly
all the glory Of a strenuous campaign.
From early in November until the
middle of March, Abel r. KiViat has
been hammering away, meeting crack
sprinters and tried distance runners
with equal success. In each COMPETE
ton the palm of victory has rewarded
the efforts of the young Irish-Ameri-
can who halls from Staten Island, and
in addition to taking the scalps of
those who had the temcrity to oppose
him, he has set new figures for the
/, 0OO-yard and one mile that will take
some beating.
Beat Two Great Stars.
Men who won distinction in the in
ternational games have fallen before
the speed and determination of this
athletic marvel, the remarkable fea-
ture of his work being hat in a dis
lance event he took the measure of
Hannes Kolchmainen, while at GOO
yards he out-generalled and defeated
Ted Meredith, the sensational middle
distance runner who made the half
mile record at the Olympic games.

experts fer it must be admitted that
when kiViat ran away from koleh-
mainen at the st. Agnes games in No
vemher the Finn was unaccustomed to
board floor running and he did not
begin to show his real form much un-
til much later in the season. In each
case however, Kiviat nay be said to
have gone outside of his proper dis
lance to meet these champions at
practically their own game.
His defeat Of Meredith is still a
mystery, but though the critics may
point out that the race was falsely
run. the fact remains that the Irish
American, who, by reason of his
worlds record for 1880 meters must
be considered a miller, ran on even
terms with Meredith, a mighty man

BOY FOUND IN FIELD
BESIDE DRUNKENFATHER

Stupefied with drink and lying in a
field with his three-year-old son
standing cryingfi at his side as the re-
suit of cold, Charles Fisher forty
years old, Of MaXville, was arrested
about l O'Clock this morning by Pat
rolman Calvin. The officer had been
attracted by the child's cries to a
field opposite the Central railroad de-
pot. There he found Fisher in u
stupor. The little boy was standing
at his side with fingers numb from
cold and shiverinS.
Fisher told hard luck story in
police court this morning Being a
widower he had to take care of three
children, and that he claimed to be
an extremely difficult task. He said
the oldest child, a girl sixteen years
old. was wayward, despite his efforts
to keep her at his home, and he de-
clared the two younger sons were be-
coming wayward. Recorder Pickers-
gill instructed him to go home and
take his children with him and keep
them there. He was told to take
special pains to keep the girl at home
and have her properly provided for.
Promising this, he was released.

He was instructed by Clerk Colyer

With his limbs paralyzed and un-

down, Charles Baumlin, Jr., fiftee1
year old son of Charles Baumlin, of
515 Hartford street, lies in a critical
condition at the city hospital. The

He was instantly paralyzed, and was
picked up by passersby and carried
to the office of DR.. George w. Tyrrell,
who soon saw the precarious condi-
tion of the boy and had him removed
to the city hospital.
DR.. J. G. Wilson has charge of the

WANT SENATOR
|. TO HELP CAUSE
Harbor Board at Meeting
Last Night Discuss Street
End Matters Again.
WORK TO GET LOW PRICE
invite Acting Governor to
Come Here and View Them
With State Board.

Deeming 1t for the best interests
of Perth Amboy that the city obtain
possession of the purchaseable ripa-
rian rights to It's street ends, and be-
lieving that the fairness and dis
elimination of the State Riparian
Board will not levy q flat price of
$40 per foot indiscriminately for the
purchase of the street ends here
when they have personally seen the
valuableness of some of same, the
local Board of Harbor Commission
ers, to facilitate the early visit here
of the executive and the other men,
bers of the state board, decided to
invoke the aid of Senator William
E. Ramsay at an adjourned meeting
last night.
The board believes that it is only
necessary for the state commission
ers to see the character and condi-
ton of some of the street ends of
the city for them to be convinced OF
the fact, claimed by the local COM
missioners, that the value of the
rights to most of the street ends of
the city are practically nornlng.
Secretary Wilbur La Roe was in
structed to send letter to the Mid
dlesex senator and enclose a letter
to the acting governor inviting him
and the other members of the state
board here. The senator is request
ed to deliver the invitation to Act
ing Governor Fielder. Both letters
were written and posted last night.
The letter to Senator Ramsay ex-
planned the necessity of an imme-
date visit of the harbor commits
sioners here, so that the local board
may as soon as possible obtain pos
session of the city's street ends, and
proceed with their duties in the pow
er inherent to such possession.
A communication from the Trans
portation Committee, of the Board of
Trade, was considered. The commit
tee asked the Harbor Board to select
site for municipal dock as soon
as possible. The concensus of opin-
ion of the commissioners was that
the acquiring of a public dock would
entail an enormous expense to the
city, and that it would be eNpedient
to let this matter rest until after
they have obtained possession of the
street ends, which they believe is,
just now of prime Importance.
A communication from the Lehigh
Valley railroad received, stated that
steps had been taken to abate the
nuisance of floating timbers from
their docks, complained of by the To-
cal board in communication to be
sent to that company at their last
meeting.
The Harbor Board will take dras-
tic measures to have Captain James
Pearson, of Front street, remove the
craft which he has beached off the
foot OF Market street, if same does
not disappear soon.

PAY Is JURORS
AND NO MORE
Sergeant at Arms of District
Court Gets Call Down"

Judge John w. Beekman admOn-
ished the sergeant-at-arms for sum-
moning more than fifteen as talesmen
from which jury was to be drawn
to try the action of Robert Gill, of
this city, against Howard Pender, a
contractor of Sewaren, in the District
Court this morning. The suit for
$500 damages had been settled about
one-half hour before court began,
and the question of paying the tales
men, who had not served, arose. The
Judge held that only fifteen were
entitled to the muniflcient fee of
twenty-five cents, as that was all the
law stated should be summoned for a
jury trial. OF the tWenty-one sum-
moned to act as Jurors, only seven
teen appeared, two of whom re-
ceived not even quarter for their
attendance.
1t seems that the incongruity of
the law only allows fifteen venire-
men to be summoned, of whom both
the defense and plaintiff can chal-
lenge six. Sergeant-at-arms William
Hoffner realizing that often the
challenge right of counsel is used,
and knowing from experience, the
cases that have been adjourned be-
cause after the challenges had been
made there remained not enough men
to form a jury, had summoned twen-
ty-one talesmen to facilitate the trial
of the action.
The action In question was settled
before court began this morning.
Judge Adrian Lyon represented the
plaintiff and Thomas Brown the de-
fendant.
The suit for slander of Alderman
John J. Clark against Anton Jensen,
was adjourned for one week.
A judgment for $685.. the bal
ance on bill of merchandise, was
given in the suit of the Atlas Bedding
Company against j. Miller, of State

sented the plaintiff.
