New York Man Fits Up Old
"City of Key West" on
the Shrewsbury.
HAS AEROPLANE STATION
Formerly Owned by Theodore
BIoodgood of This City,
Was Amusement Place.

The old excursion boat City of
Key West which was used as public
place of amusement when owned by
Theodore Bloodgood Is to be con-
verted into palatial and probably
the largest and most novel houcoboat
in the world according to plans. 1t
is to constitute the summer home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Irvine Twombly of
255 West Ninetieth street New
York and will be placed in the
Shrewsbury river.
Unique among its many conven-
fences is to be an aeroplane station.
Instead of passing time motoring on
hot days Mr.. and Mrs. Twombly in
tend to fly with their children over
the cool waters of the Shrewsbury,
Raritan bay and hereabouts. The
craft Is to contain about fifty rooms,
a gymnasium for their two children,
bowling alleys, ball room and roof
garden. A modern hangar is also to
be constructed, to house a hydro
aeroplane. Actual work has been
started and it is expected that the
new and unique floating palace will
be launched July /. 1t is to be oc-
cupied- by the Twombly family dur
ing July, August and September
Mr.. Twombly is an inventor, a
motorist and president of the Aero,
nautical Society.

RESIGNS FROM
HIGH POSITION
A A. Quinn Gives Up, Office
of First Vice President
of Carpenters
GETS ANOTHER BERTH
Would Have to Live in West
and He Prefers to Serve
in N. J. Legislature.
GETS ANOTHER BERTt

Because he desires to represent his
fellow union men of Middlesex coun-
ty in the legislature of the state,
Assembl blyman Arthur A. Quinn has
resigned his position as first vice
president of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America.
Mr.. Quinn, who has been away from
homes for several weeks attending to
his duties as such in Indianapolis,
found that he would have to either
make his residence permanently in
that city, the headquarters of the
union, or he would have to resign his
position. He has his choice be-
tween holding the honor of that high
office In the union or standing by his
fellowmen here for the betterment
of their future through acts of the
legislature. He chose the latter.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Quinn still has
an office in the organization, after
he resigned the office of first vice
president, the second vice president
automatically filled his position.
The executive board was In session
at the union headquarters before Mr.
Quinn returned home Thursday
night, and finding that the position
of second vice president of the union
was vacant since the incumbent had
been raised to first vice president,
elected Mr.. Quinn to the second vice
presidency.

S. P. c. A. AGENT
is ACTIVE HERE

One man Is in jail and five others
were heavily fined yesterday as the
result of crusade by agents of the
Society of rthe Prevention of Cruelty
to animals in this city and vicinity
yesterday. Hans Petersen, of Keas-
bey, is in jail because he will not pay
a fine of $25 and costs for using a
horse that was deemed absolutely
unfit for service. The animal had
been purchased for $40. 1t was
hardly able to walk and was suffer-
ing from large shoe-boil when S.
P. C. A. agents got it. They shot the
animal.
James Venable, colored driver for
the New Brunswick Mattress Com
pany, controlled b. l.. Gallen, of
Peace street, New Brunswick, was ar
rested at Rogan's corner. His en-
ployer was fined $50 and costs be-
cause this horse had a large sore on
it's back to which saddle had stuck.
John Sengala, a driver for Graham
& McKeon, was arrested and his en-
ployers fined $15 and costs because
two horses had sores. Samuel Vein

rate. The average market price OF
forty bonds dealt in on the New
York Exchange at this time last wear
was 93.07. The same bonds now
average 1854.
The approximate cost of the pave
ments provided for in the ordinances
herewith returned is $4,000. 1t is
necessary that bonds to the amount
of $4,000 shall be issued at once
to take care of street improvements
already completed, for payment of
which no provision has as yet been
made, and the paving of Water street
now under way. l am informed that
the crowded condition of the schools
necessitates additional room, and
that the Board of Estimate will in all
probability be asked to pass upon an
application for $4,000 or $4,000
for the purpose of building school No.
3. The Convery place extension and
bridge project have already cost s14,-
600 and will perhaps cost $4,000
more. The acquisition of riparian
rights to street ends, If consummated,
means an expenditure estimated at
$4,000. A storm sewer system for
the territory west of Amboy avenue,
which is imperatively needed. will
cost many thousands of dollars, so
that there is in sight necessity for
the issuance of about S350,000 In
bonds (of which 1t is unlikely that
one half could be sold &. the present
time,) and no consideration has been
given here to the project for OPEN
ing Garretson avenue or other needed
proyements, including the paving
of Rri ipbtnn ot,
which the property owners have been
urging for two or three years.
An issue of 0,000 bonds If mar
keted would add about s16, 900 year.
ly to our interest charges. The in
terest on the bonded debt is now
$55,000 per annum, and this amount
has heretofore been paid by a trans
fer from the contingent account,
which account Is made up of excise
and other license fees and the franz
ehise tax. In 1912 this fund lacked
stbous $4,000 OF the amount neees-4
sary to meet these interest charges,
and In all probability will be short an
equal amount this year-if not more.
This will necessitate the addition of
at least $4,000 to the budget for In

AMECITE WILL
Be USED HERE
Aldermen Decide on Paving
Material Busy Session

Subjects of street improvement, q
new and inexpensive way of extend
ing Convery place over the Lehigh
Valley railroad tracks and raising
the appropriation for the Board of
Health were discussed at a commit
tee meeting of the Board Of Alder
men last night. 1t WIS decided to
place sewers In Carson avenue and
ConVery place and to place side
walks on Laurie street and to give
notices of intention to pave Brighton
avenue, First street and Lewis street.
Annette surface, such as in use on
Upper Smith street and through
Keasbey, may be laid on most of
these streets. One block may be paw
ed with asphalt blocks.
|. Jacob M. Klein appeared before
the aldermen in behalf of several
property owners with a request to
have the grade of Cortlandt street
lowered. He was advised to have a
petition Issued.
City Attorney Hommann has a
new scheme to hurry and cheaper
the placing of bridge over the Le-
high Valley railroad tracks for the
extension OF Convery place. 1t is
being kept a secret until service Of
notice has been made upon the va
rtous parties concerned.
The Board of Health made it
known last night that it desired an
increase in appropriation of from
$500 to $1,000, so as to make their
annual allowance $4,700 or $4,000.
The subject was left under consid-
Grafton.
Opening of bids for two new street
sprinklers was deferred until the
meeting Monday night.
1t was practically decided upon
recommendation of Alderman f. A.
Seaman and Street Commissioner
Adair to have the comptroller adver-
tise for bids to sell the citys steam
roller. A smaller and more conyen-
lent one is desired

is SATISFIED
WITH HIS TRIP
Wilson Back at His Desk
In Washington.
9eoIaI by United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wire
Washington, May 3:-Satisfied
with his trip to his home state, al
though it Is understood he is con-
vinced that his efforts failed to
change the situation, President Will
son returned to the capital today
and plunged into his accumulated
mail. He had few important callers
scheduled for today, but planned to
analyze the California-Japanese situ-
alton so that he might be able to
take any action necessary. The
President believes that his trip to
New Jersey has failed to unite Demo-
cratic legislators for jury reform
bill that will meet the view of the
people. But his position was that he
had started the fight for the plan
and that it would have been coward
ly If he had failed to take the stump
in person for his own views. He in
sisted today that no matter what the
outcome, he has done his part.

APPOINTMENT
BY GOVERNOR
AssembIyman Quinn Dicuss.
es Jury Reform Matter.

That a jury reform bill, modelled
after the measure introduced by AS
semblyman Ziegen, which passed the
lower branch of the state law max
Ing body at the last session, will be
passed without referendum at the
special session of the legislature
which convenes Tuesday, is the opin-
Ion Of Assemblyman Arthur A,
Quinn, who was seen by a NEWS
man just after his return from the
conference of the senators and as
semblymen with President Wilson at
the Carteret Club, Jersey City, yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Quinn retu.1l-
ed Thursday night from Indianapo-
lis, where he has been performing
his duties as first vice president
of the Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners Of America.
Assemblyman Quinn is, and al
ways has been, In favor of a jury re-
form bill, though he takes issue
with those who desire to place the
power of selecting jury commission
In the hands of the judges. He
thought his sentiment would be
found practically unanimous at the
special session of the law makers
and declared that in his opinion the
legislature would enact a law that
will place the responsibility in the
hands of the chief executive.
There is a deep-rooted sentiment
against the placing of more power
in the hands of judges who, you
know, are appointed officers" he
said. The assemblyman was sure Of
~ h h. =, til
being in favor of bill providing for
the appointment of commissions by
the governor, and prophesied that If
there were any trouble in getting it.
through it would be found lurking
in the senate.
Mr.. Quinn, who has always been
a sponsor for the calling of con-
stitutional convention, predicted that
such a measure, too, may find its
way through the assembly at the spe-
cial session, but stated that if any
1t would be the senate that would
thwart such a measure, as the house
is in favor of same. The assembly
man did not think the legislatures
special session would consume much
time believing that that body would
only consider the jury reform con-
stituttonal convention and the small
board of freeholders bills.
From the opinions of the legisla-
tors expressed at the conference yes
terday Mr.. Quinn believed that they
would be able to get together on a
proper jury reform bill at the caucus
to be held at 2:30 o'clock at Tren-
ton Monday afternoon the day be-
fore the conyening of the extra ses-
sion of the legislature. He stated
that President Wilson made q long
speech at the conference yesterday
and urged the legislators to lay
aside to an extent their personal
opinions and try to harmonic on
bill that would bring forth jury re-
form that will redeem the pledges of
the Democratic party. He said that
there were numerous and varied sug-
gestions at the conference about
gaining jury reform and that one OF
the suggestions was from Assembly
man Kirkpatrick Of Middlesex ceun-
ty who thought that the appointment
Of jury commissions by the chancell-
Ior of the state might be harmony
measure and still accomplish the de-
sired reform In relieving the sher-
IFS of their imperial powers.

COUNCIL WARNED BY
MAYOR RELATIVE To
ISSUING OF BONDS
Market Not Favorable At Present.
Cites Instances In Special Mess
ape To Aldermen Last Night
APPROVES STREET ORDINANCES

Considering the fact that several
costly improvements are needed in
the city and knowing that market
conditions are not favorable for the
Issuance of bonds at this time, Mayor
Ferd Garretson had a message of
warning before the aldermen at their
committee meeting last night. The
message accompanied the return OF
ordinances to pave sections of Oak,
Mechanic and Cortlandt streets. For
the reasons given the executive re-
commended that for the present, ad-
Vertlstng for bids to pave streets be
restricted to include only those for
which the demand was most urgent
because of conditions or character of
traffic.
Owing to the present financial con-
dition and extent to which the CITY
may bond itself, 1t seems to the
mayor that In passing ON public i'm
proVements, three things should be
given consideration ie the necessity
and demand for the improvement, the
question of priority of the most i'm
portant improvements over others
where not all can be undertaken and
the effect on the bonded debt and the
tax rate of carrying out these i'm
provements.
