The Shade Tree Commissioners
are planning to aid the Board OF
Trade and the Woman's Club to
beautify the park site, recently
granted to the city by the Pennsyl-
yania railroad. The site is in front

trees before the spring season has
passed. They are now planting along
Lewis street The following streets
have had the young trees planted
along them: Madison avenue, Pater-
son street, Harrison place, Watson
avenue and Lewis street, Not only
have they been planting trees, but
they have been removing old ones
that do not lend charm to the land
scape. Two hundred and fifty have
been removed and two hundred and
nineteen set out. The commissioners

The general public throughout the
city is urged by Mayor Ferd Garrett
son to observe cleanup week, which
begins on Monday morning. Follow
ing his adoption of the cleanup idea
in April of last year, the mayor has
taken steps to conduct similar
cleaning campaign next week, which
he is endeavoring to have made as
successful as was the one last year.
Accordingly he issued a message in
the form of proclamation to the
public at large today, In which he
urges the removal of rubbish and all
waste material from yards and build

tive way of conducting a swat the

the general healthfulness of the city.

ARGUE ON HIGH COST OF PAVING
AT COUNCIL COMMITTEE SESSION
SA US S. A. GIRL
STOLE HER .S55

Charged with stealing $55 from
the home of a girl friends wnom she
was visiting, Mamie Cleary, eighteen
years old, of SO George street, South
Amboy, was last night held by Recor-
der Pickersgill to await the action of
the grand jury. Samuel Williams
and his daughter, Elizabeth, of PIG
Meade street, this city, appeared as
the complainants. No conclusive
proof was furnished that the accused
girl stole the money, the evidence be-
ing purely circumstantial. The re-
corder released Miss Cleary in the
custody of her counsel Thomas
Brown, until such time as the grand
jury had considered her case. He
stated the charge was serious; no
positive proof was furnished that the
accused girl took the money, yet the
evidence allayed strong suspicion.
Gruelling by a detective at police
headquarters caused Miss Cleary to
practically say she would go home
and get the money and bring 1t back.
Mr.. Brown, as counsel for the girl,
maintained his client was innocent,
that he had known her family for
some years, and that if she had told
detective she would go home to re-
turn the money, it was not because
Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-04-19

she had stolen any, but to get an
amount to pay the Williams family
to avoid notoriety and thereby save
herself and family from disgrace.
The story told by Mr.. Williams
and his daughter, is that Miss Cleary
visited at their home. Miss Williams
asked her to enter her bed room and
carry chair to another room, The
girl entered the bed room and walk
ed about. The money in question
was concealed in a bag in clothes at
the side of a chair. Miss Williams
averred the Cleary girl knew the
amount and place of the money. Miss
Cleary says she entered Miss Will
liams' bedroom on the latter's invita-
ton, took a chair and Immediately
vacated from the room, doing no
walking about except what was nee.
essary to get the chair. Miss viii.
liams testified to seeing Miss Cleary
standing at the side of the chair
where the money had been placed.
The money in question was last
seen by a member of the Williams
family the night before it was miss
ed. Miss Cleary came to the house
In the morning. Shortly before noon,
about half an hour after she had left,
the money was missing, the Will

VIEW SITE FOR
RUBBER PLANT
N. H. IngsrsoII May Reside
Here. -.Pr0minent Man

Representatives of the synthetic
rubber company which is about TO
locate a plant in Perth Amboy. were
in the city yesterday and escorted by
Secretary Ivan II. Wise, of the Board
of Trade, they visited a building site
on the property of the Vulcan Detin-
ming Company at SeWareu, which
the visitors seemed to favor very
much.
Worthington H. lngersoll, presi-
dent of the company, and C. NJ. He'd
din, treasurer, were the representa-
tives of the manufacturing concern.
The former is very prominent man,
among other positions holding q
directorship in the Mutual Life In
surance Company. He will reside
here If the company puts plant at
Sewaren.
In the afternoon Richard A.
Bolger, o. w. Christian and Mr..
Wise escorted the visitors about the
city, concerning which they were
very much impressed. Mr.. Ingersoll
praised Perth Amboy for it's numer-
Gus paved streets, clean streets and
general modern improvements. He
stated he had no idea of the real
character of the city when he alight-
ed from the Central railroad car at
the insignificant little passenger
station.

Recorder Asserts
There are MAN.
Violations
MAKES THIEVES

Neglect to keep children in public
schools until they have reached the
age limit under which they are re-
leased, will cause parents to be ar
rested and jailed to be dealt with by
the school authorities in the future,
is the announcement of Recorder H.
e. Pickersgill. He is tiring in his
efforts to satisfy all concerned in the
numerous cases Of that kind which
have been brought and are being
taken before him.
1t appears that some school Off
cials have criticized because of ais
legged lack of prosecution. They
practically charge City Marshal
Walters with neglect of duty and
appear dissatisfied with the manner
in which some of the cases have been
handled. In the past the city mars
shall and Truant officer Meshrow
have made arrests of parents and
had them appear together with chill
dren in question before the recorder.
In practically every case the parents
were lectured severely, informed
that they must keep their children
in public schools until they have be-
come of an age prescribed by law
under which they may be released.
under penalty of going to Jail, and
were then released. A number OF
new cases caused the comment which
made Recorder Pickersgill state that
rigid and strict compliance with the
law would at once become effective
in such cases. He is emphatic in his
statement that the letter of the law
will be observed in those respects.
The course of procedure as an
nounced by the recorder means that
henceforth, If complaint is made
that children are not attending
school, warrants will be issued for
the parents. They will be thrown In
Jail and kept there until the school
authorities have gathered evidence
against them and presented it in
open court.

TO ESTABLISH
CREDIT BUREAU
Trade Board Plans to Pro-
teCt Retail Merchants

To protect the retail credit mer-
chants of the city the Board of Di-
rectOrs, of the Board of Trade, took
stops at their semi-monthly meeting
last night to perfect a credit bureau,
from which the dealers may ascertain
the liability of different persons for
debts contracted. Secretary Ivan H.
Wise was instructed TO establish such
bureau, if feasible. and to accom-
plish same he will call a meeting of
the merchants of the city next week
to discuss the matter. The directors
OF the Board of Trade. have been
apprised of the fact that many deal
ers are made dupes by dead heads"
who contract obligations which they
never intend to meet.
To guard against this practice they
believe the city requires a bureau Of
credit for the retail customers. This
is to be effected by obtaining the
names of those who have refused to
pay their bills and are considered by
the dealers as dead beats" These
names are to be compiled into little
booklet, which any city merchant
may obtain from the bureau, which
will be at the Board of Trade head
quarters and be supervised by the
secretary.
The directors decide to ask the
Board of Aldermen for an appropria-
tion of 81, 500 to further the work OF
the board in any manner that body
may deem practical. The following
committee was appointed to present
the application to the councilmen:
c. d. BOynton, Edwin c. Fraser and
Robert l.. Fowler.
A budget for the year 1913 was
submitted by the secretary and APP
proved by the Board OF Directors
There are now 297 members in the
board at present and the estimate
was based on 300 members, at a rev.
enue for the year of $500, which
was equalled by the same amount of
proposed disbursements. The stand
ing of the board up to yesterday was
as follows: Membership fees collect
ed, $3.30444; disbursements, ST.
923.34, balance on hand, $1,321.10.
The following applicants were re-
ceiyed into membership of the board:

CANNON is HONORED
BY THE PRESIDENT
gpeeiaI o the ErANINe NEWs.

. ePttfuF 20 tHe ~ DNIN0 N n w ..
Washington, April 10; Bernard
M Cannon, county clerk of Middle-
sex county, was quite signally honor
ed by President Woodrow Wilson in
the two days Mr.. Cannon was here.s
Mr.. Cannon called at the White
House to pay his respects Thursday
afternoon. The President at the
time was busy with a reception for
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, and Mr.. Cannon left after
seeing Secretary Joseph p. Tumulty.
When the President was informed
of Mr.. Gannon's call he sent spec
ial invitation to the county clerk to
call at the White House at a time
usually reserved for cabinet officers.
Mr.. Cannon went, and the President
sympathized with him on his recent
illness and congratulated him on his
recovery.
AS Mr.. Cannon was leaving the
White House he was met by William
Jennings Bryan, the Secretary OF
State, who also shook hands with
him and expressed his pleasure at
Mr.. Gannon's restoration to health.
He left Washington for home yester-
terday morning.

and devotional service was held, af-
| ter which reports were heard from
every officer, board and society of
| the church.
These reports were exceedingly in
teresting. The present membership
was stated to be 250, with a goodly
number of others not yet enrolled as
members, who make this their
church home. The pastor reported
that there were 264 families on his
calling list. 1t Is Just five years since
he was called to the pastorate, since
which time only few short of 100
have been added to the church roll
The financial reports revealed that a
total of more than $4,000 had been
raised during the past year, of which
more than ten per cent was for be-
nevolences. A comparison with five
years ago shows the development.
Then the church reported to the East
Association $1,814 raised for current
expenses, with $98 for benevolences;
this year the report will be $3,O34
for current expenses, with S412 for
benevolences, the balance having
been raised by the various societies
for their individual work.
The aim is not to become a big
church, with large membership and
financial resources, magnificent
buildings and social standing, but to
become a great church, whatever the
membership or financial resources,
whatever the equipment or social
standing. The church desires to as
sumo all its obligations and to meas
ure up to all its opportunities, desir-
ing to minister until the spiritual
needs of the community, and not to
be ministered unto. No money for
church support during the past year
has been raised by fairs, suppers or
the like, the members of the church
preferring to raise money by the di-
rect method Of giving week by week,
without special appeals except occa-
sionally. The church was never In
better condition, spiritually or fl
nancially, than it is today.
The pastor, Rev. William II. Baw-
den, called the meeting to order, and
first asked Joseph NJ. Greer the clerk,
to present his report for the year.
The pastor then read his own report.
Ira J. Bacon, secretary of the dea-
cons, was unable to be present be-
cause of sickness in the family, so
this report was omitted, the pastor
mentioning several matters of In
terest instead. Deacon Samuel T,
Frost is treasurer of the Fellowship
fund, which report was next pre-
sented. Following this George r.

port. The church uses twinpocket

covering the various accounts and
funds entrusted to his care. This
revealed the disbursements during
the year, together with the several
balances. He is treasurer of several
societies of the church, and after
wards presented a summary of all
moneys passing through his hands.

REPORT POPE
AS IMPROVING
Bulletins from Sick Cham
ber Were Contradictory.


Rome, April 19:-Pope Plus was
said to be much better today and mis-
condition continued to improve un-
interrupted. He passed a very tran
gull night, without fever, and early
today partook of nourishment which
his stomach retained without diff
Guilty. His temperature was 81.
This is the third day the Holy Father
has been without fever and physi-
clans say that if he passes two more
such days he may safely be regarded
as conyalescent.
Drs. Marchiafaya and Amici, the
papal physicians, have decided they
will issue but one bulletin daily and
today they gave out this one:
"The Pope passed tranquil night
and his condition is much improved.
Temperature 81"
The Pope passed q quiet night
from midnight and there was an alb
sence of vomiting that has disturbed
him previously. He is very weak and
brandy in small quantities was ad-
ministered frequently. He awoke
early this morning and was restless,
his lips moving seemingly In prayer,
but he said he felt better and dis
missed all but one attendant. Then
he fell asleep again.
The optimistic bulletins of the
physicians coming through the hands
of Cardinal Merry del Val have re-
fused to lull the fears of thousands
who are anxious about the aged
Pontiff and they still predict that the
Pope is in danger of dieing and that
his end Is expected hourly. Z

removing useless waste materia,
which might cause fires. In making
this suggestion the executive has in
view the prevention of disastrous
fires, such as have been known to
arise in this city from just such a
cause.
The garbage collecting contrac-
tors, Graham & McKeon, have very
kindly consented to cooperate with
the mayor and people in the cleanup
work. Extra men, teams and wagons
will start out early Monday morning
and will be in operation every day
next week for the prompt removal of
all rubbish.
Special request is made by Mayor
Garretson that the cleaning be done
as early next week as possible, that
there may be no great accumulation
on sidewalks the latter part OF the
week, as as there was last wear.
