Annual Inspection Trip of
Pilots Assn Prompts Re-
quest to War Dept.
ARE NOW WORKING IN
AMBROSE CHANNEL
Party Reached Here at 3
O'clock Yesterday Afternoon
.-SCuIIy Not on Boat.

A movement Is on foot to have the
government dredge now wrking at
the Ambrose channel in clearing that
waterway of sediment, transferred
to the channel leading from Sandy
Hook UP Staten Island sound. The
object Is to have the dredge clean
out this waterway from Sandy Hook
up the sounds channel to allow
boats of twenty-five foot draft to
reach the big manufacturing plants
along the sound, The Ambrose
channel and Staten Island sound
were yesterday inspected by the pilot
commissioners of New York and New
Jersey, by officials of the New York
and New Jersey Sandy Hook Pilots
Association, and also by members
of the Staten Island Deeper Water
ways Association.
Pilot boat New York conveyed
the officials around Staten Island.
The boat left Pier /, North River, at
10 o'clock IN the morning, return
Ing late In the afternoon. The route
lay down New York bay, through the
Ambrose channel, around by Sandy
Hook and through Raritan bay back
to New York by the Staten Island
sound. This was the annual inspec-
tion Of the officials of the pilots as
sociation, but was made to include
other officials interested in the deep
ening of the waterways around
Staten Island.
1t is believed that the War De-
partment will be asked, probably
through Thomas J. Scully, who was
invited but was unable to be on the
trip yesterday, for the transferrence
of the dredge now working in Am
brose channel. The channel leading
up the sound from Sandy Hook has
not been dredged for some time and
it has accumulated great deal of
sediment. There are also a number
of hillocks in the route of the chan
mel which prevent ships, drawing
more than twenty-three feet of wa
ter, from entering this port. 1t is
believed II these high places at the
bottom of the channel were cleared
away by the dredge, that vessels of
twenty-five feet could easily come
through this waterway. This work
would be in the way of maintenance,
and would not require great period
of time for the government dredge.
The pilots association have hopes
that the War Department will allow
the transferrence of the dredge, and
make the channel from Sandy Hook
deck enough to accommodate boats
of twenty-five foot draft. Most of
the channel is twenty-five or more
feet deep, except where the chan
mel course is interspersed with little
hills on the bottom.
Quarantine Officer Charles W.
Naulty, Jr., was invited to go on the
trip, but was unable to be at the
pilot house dock when the boat ar
rived just before 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.

Joseph Mitruska, of "a
Washington Street Hurt
Going Home from School
WHEEL OF CAR PASSES
OVER HIS STOMACH
Crowd Of Boys lump Into
Two Old Autos Being lowed
to Junk Yard.

His desire for "joy-riding' caused
ten-year-old Joseph Mitruska, of "a
Washington street, to be run over
and badly injured by an automobile
yesterday afternoon. The rear wheel
of the machine passed over the
stomach of the boy, who was crushed
by the weight of the car and was
picked up in semi-conscious condi
ton. This morning he is recovering
from bruises about his head and
body. He will be kept to his bed
for some time as result of yester-
days fun. Another young boy about
the same age was injured while at
tempting to joy-ride with Mitruska,
but was not seriously hurt.
Herman Ellis recently purchased
some old junk, consisting of a big
sled and two automobiles, which
were stored in the vicinity of SO
Washington street, awaiting trans
terrence to Mr.. Ellis place In Second
street. Mr.. Ellis yesterday after
noon sent driver for the vehicles.
The driver put the sled in the truck
and hitched the two dipalidated cars,
one after the other, behind the
wagon.
The procession was slow in going
up Washington street and attracted
the attention of a number of children
returning from school between 3 and
4 o'clock. The chance to sneak
ride in the two old Oldsmobiles was
too much for the happy children just
from school, and about thirty took
possession of the two old machines.
Both were crowded to their capacity
There were SO many inside that
there was much scrambling for room
and many of the boys were squeezed
from their position and had to jump
or fall from the two machines.
Little Joseph Mitruska was one of
those who was pushe, from the sec
ond car in the procession. He fell
to the brick pavement, striking his
head, which rendered him semi-un-
conscious. He was unable to roll
out of the way of the machine and
rear wheel passed over his stomach.
He was picked up by some men
standing nearby and taken to the
office OF the Underground Cable
Company, where he was attended by
DR.. M. s. Meinzer, after which he
was removed to his home. 1t was
feared at first that the boy sustained
internal injuries, but this morning
no symptoms were shown, and the
lad seems to be improving, though
he will be kept to his bed for some
time.
The driver of the truck that pulled
the two machines, after the accident
near Mechanic street kept on driving
and this morning stated he did not
know anything about the affair.
The other victim of the joy riding
was the twelve year old son Of Emil
Jensen, of 80 Broad street, who was
badly shaken and bruised, but today
was almost fully recovered. He was
by DR.. John L. Lund.

To TRANSFER
SALOON LICENSE To
THE HANEY BUILDING
Excise Board Vote in The Open and
S SpIit Even, Two in Favor and
Two AGAINST
GRANT TRANSFER TO MARKET ST

j. N. Peterson was denied a trans
fer of his saloon license to the Ha-
ney building at 10 Smith street, at
the meeting of the excise board last
night, because of a tie vote. James
Osterhout secured a transfer of his
license from 81 State street to 424
Market street. In accordance with
action on the Peterson application,
the board held up the application of
Jens M. Jensen for a wholesale Ii
cense IN Mr.. Peterson's place at
398 New Brunswick avenue. The
subject was laid over until the next
regular meeting In November, after
which the board adjourned.
Commissioners Hugh Gallagher
and Michael Seaman voted for the
transfer of Peterson's saloon license
from 39S New Brunswick avenue to
the Haney building, which is now oc-
cupied by the First National bank.
President Nels Hanson and Commits
sioner Daniel w. Boehm voted
against it. Messrs. Hanson, Seaman
and Gallagher voted for the Oster-
hout transfer and Mr.. Boehm voted
against it. Both ballots were taken
in the open, the rules being suspend
ed for action on these applications.
More than ordinary interest has
been manifested in both of these
applications, especially Peterson's.
A large sized audience, which includ-
ed city. officials and several lawyers,
was on hand when the board met in
the council chamber of city hall.
When Peterson's request came up
for action John A. Coan, counsel for
the applicant spoke for it, and Will
liam A. Spencer, representing four
demonstrators, opposed the granting
of it. There was no other discus
sion. Following a short committee

the commissioners sat at the easterly
end of table and quietly discussed
matters, the board convened All
three applications were read and
that of Osterhout was first acted
upon.
Clerk La Roe announced the re-
ceipt of seven requests for the with
drawal of many names from the re-
monstrances against Peterson's ap-
plication. The commissioners did
not consider the remonstrances
against Peterson's applications, be-
cause they held them to be Illegal
and improper.
In speaking for his client, Mr..
Coan said he proposed to conduct a
place which would be a credit and a
benefit to the city. He declared that
Mr.. Peterson had entered into long
lease for the Haney premises and by
reason of that fact would be en-
abled to fit up and conduct a place
which would be a credit to Perth
Amboy. He elaborated upon the ap-
plicant's character and ability. Mr..
Coan then went into the necessity
for another drinking place at what
he termed the ''county's busiest cor
ner." He said there was but one
there and few in the immediate vi
cinity, for which reason he declared
it could be truthfully said there was
necessity for 1t. The remon-
strances against the application, Mr..
Coan said, he considered the strong
est reason why it should be granted.
Out of the city's big population
only three saw fit to remoY strate.

Concerning talk that city might
become involved in litigation at heavy
expense should Peterson secure the
transfer and begin a fight for pos

MAD DOG is
KILLED AFTER
BITING CHILD

Another mad dog scare, in which
one child was bitten and hundreds
were frightened, occurred in upper
Charles street yesterday afternoon.
Susie Seaman, four years old, of 646
Charles street, was bitten by a dog
supposed to be mad. The animal
frothed at the mouth and ran amuck
in the streets. When the alarm was
given the streets were hurriedly
cleared and remained so until Pa
trolman Andrew Jensen had shot
the canine. The Seaman girl was
taken to Arthur d. Gardens drug
store at 1876 Hall avenue for treat
ment. The wound was but slight and
it is not thought there is any dan
ger of hydrophobia infection.

started FROM SeIOIefS.
Alfred w. Lawson, the editor Of
Aircraft" today took a big step in
the commercialization of aviation by
opening a committing course between
his home at Soldiers Beach and his
office in New York city. His initial
trip was started from Soldiers beach
at OILS o'clock this morning.
A stop was made at Captain Bald
wins aviation station at Oakwood
Heights, 8. l., and upon leaving
there, the aviators continued on their
direct course to the metropolis.
When Mr.. Lawson 3 office was call
ed on the telephone about 11.3O
o'clock this morning, he had not yet
reached there. 1t was stated that
information had been received there
that Lawson and Johnson had been
forced to descend hurriedly off Sew
enty-eight street in North River.
Engine trouble was supposed to be
the cause.
It Is the publishers intention to
fly daily between his home and place
of business. In so doing the time
consumed In travel can be decreas-
ed more than an hour on each trip,
he claims. The average time con-
sumed by rail- over the course is an
hour and thirty minutes. The aver
age time by air route Is estimated
by Mr.. Lawson at twenty-five min
utes and he believes the trip can be
made in fifteen minutes under ia
vorable conditions.
Lawson flew with Walter John
son, a noted aviator, In his ''Thom-
as flying boat" today. The publish
er operated the craft under the guild
ance of Johnson, who has been in
structing him of late. Lawson has
been successful in handling air
crafts over land and has now become
proficient in operating the kind used
in and over water. The Thomas
boat, which he purchased at an ex-
pense of $4,000 is we'll built and is
equipped with an Austro-Daimler six
cylinder engine, developing ninety
horse power. Several successful
flights have been made In 1t about
Raritan Bay.
The course taken to the metrop-
oils today extended over Raritan
Bay and up the east coast of Staten
Island. The aviators made their
first stop at Captain Baldw1n's avia-
ton station at Oakwood Heights, s.
l. This was done to pay Captain
Baldwin a visit to inspect his avia-
ton headquarters, and also to take
on supply of gasoline. 1t had been
intended to fly from there to the
headquarters of the Home Yacht
Club IN North River. The craft
made a good start and was maintain
ed at an average height of 200 feet.
