Despite Fact That City is Cutting
Down on Appropriations, the
Health Board Places ReSOIu-
'iOn to the Bd. Of Aldermen.
DOCTORS FOR INSTITUTION

Declaring the building of an isola-
tion hospital to be a necessity, a res
olution was adopted at the regular
meeting of the Board of Health last
night for presentation to the Board
OF Aldermen, asking for an appro-
priation of $19, 900 for this purpose.
The building, it Is understood can be
constructed at an estimated cost of
$4,000 and the requested appro
priation included the ground for
building, which is now owned by the
city at Groom and Laurie streets.
This property was purchased several
years ago for the building Of such an
institution.
Upon recommendation of the
Board of Health, the law provides
for an appropriation by the city gov
ernig body of an amount reaching
S18,750. In spite of the present f.
nancial condition of the city, the
health officials believe this appro-
priation to be urgent and the board,
as a committee of the whole, will
wait upon the aldermen at their
committee meeting Friday, June IL.
The resolution as adopted follows:
"Be it resolved, that we, the mem
bers of the Board of Health of the
city of Perth Amboy, do hereby de-
clare that it is necessary to establish
rnEy maintain in and for the city of
Perth Amboy a hospital which shall
be devoted exclusively to the treat
ment and relief of persons suffering
from contagious diseases, at an esti-
mated cost for construction and
equipment of $19, 900, and
"Be it further resolved, that a
copy of this resolution, certified un-
der the hands of the president and
secretary of this board be forthwith
transmitted to the Common Council
Of Perth Amboy."
Plans which were recently SUBJ
-nitted for an isolation hospital by
Architects Goldberger and Griesen,
are now in the hands of the board,
expert opinion being secured as to
their adaptability for this purpose.
Local physicians who have been
approached by the members Of the
nofrd are enthusiastic over the pro-
feet, believing that 1t is an urgent
necessity and declaring that 1t is re-
markable that no epidemic of conta-
gious disease has occurred in this
city, in view of the heavily popu-
lated sections of the city where the
cases cannot be properly attended to-
The report of Health Officer Will
sey shows an increase of fifty-two
cases of contagious and infectious
diseases over May in 1913, the death

Ninety-four cases of communicable
diseases were reported during the
past month, as follows; Diphtheria

FOR $4,000 TO BUILD
ISOLATION HOSPITAL
MAN IS SSTAbBED
WITH OWN KNIFE
Weapon Plunged Deep in His
Face; He May Recover.

With the blade of his own pocket |
knife sunk through his right cheek |
and imbedded in the temporal, or |
upper right cheek bone, John |
Winsler, thirtyfive years old, of 667 |
Cortlandt street, was brought to the |
office of DR.. M S. Meinzer in an un-
conscious condition at midnight. 1t |
required several attempts of the
physician in extricating the weapon
before the knife would release its
hold When the knife was finally re-
leased, the man was taken to the city
hospital, where, through he is still
In critical condition, unless COM
plications set in it is thought he will
recover.
Following a brawl with Joseph
Tarskas, of 687 Catherine street,
Tarskas, it is charged, imbedded the
knife in the cheek of Winsler and
then escaped to his home. Patrol
Kasprczak found Winsler stumbling
around, half dazed, with the wound
bleeding profusely at Cortlandt street
and Hall avenue. When the officer
approached him he sank to the street
and following few questions lapsed
into Inconsistencies. Kasprczak in
vain tried to pull the knife from the
| wound, but the weapon, buried to its
| hilt, did not bulge. He sent for the
ambulance and Winsler was removed
/ to the office of DR.. Meinzer. Kas-.
prczak with Patrolman Muska then
| sought the party responsible for the
stabbing and arrested Joseph Tars-
kas, thirty-nine years old, at the
mans home Tarskas' shirt was COW
cred with blood, and his left forearm
was bleeding where he himself had
, been stabbed This morning the man
testified before Recorder Pickersgill
that he had first been stabbed by
Winsler, following which he stabbed
his adversary in the cheek. He was
held in $1,000 bail for hearing
when Winsler RECEIVERS sufficiently to
attend same.
Officer Kasprczak was informed by
| the bartender at John Resko's sa-
loon, at 673 Catherine street, that
| the men had been playing pool in the
room back of the bar, and that they
| had been put out just before IL
O'Clock, and that they had begun to
| fight following an argument In the
street. He said etch had had few
| drinks. During the fight the plate
glass window of the saloon was
broken.
Winsler was stabbed with his own
knife, which Tarskas, had snatched
away from him during the brawl, ac-
cording to witnesses. Tarskas de-
clares he had no weapon, and says
that he stabbed Winsler after he him
self had been slashed in the arm,
and after taking the weapon away
from him. The argument causing
The fight is believed to have origi- |
mated over the pool game. The fol-
lowing witnesses will be heard when

street; Joseph Polcik, 677 Catherine
street; Stephen Budus, $50 Gather

pocketknife was about three and |
one-half inches long. Both men are |

AF TER
COWARDLY ACT
Ruin Property at Morgan Beach
in Pavilion.

A wanton act OF depreciation was
committed at Morgan beach Monday
night, when the new dancing pavi-
lion owned by Fraser Brothers at
Morgan was entered by two men who
poured a gallon of paint on the dane
ing floor, threw the piano stool into
the creek, deeply gouged the piano
with nail, stole the rubber piano
cover and made further destruction
in the new building.
The watchman, Edward Wells, had
left the building for a few minutes
in order to borrow a blanket, the
weather being cool. The vandals,
who had evidently been waiting for
the watchman to leave, then entered
the building and did their work of
destruction in his absence. Robbery
could not have been the motive since
the building contained nothing of
value with the exception of the piano,
and it Is believed that the vandals
entertained personal motives for de-
stroying the property. The men were
seen, after leaving the building, run
ming across the county bridge in the
direction of Keyport.

The remodeled building of the
county court house at New Bruins
wick will greatly surpass the former
burned structure in architectural
beauty, according to the plans for
which bids were asked by the Board
of Freeholders However, when the
bids were returnable Monday, it was
found that George B. Rule was the
only bidder, and he will likely be
awarded the contract for the work,
which is to be pushed to rapid COM
pletion and cost s67,590, according
to Mr.. Rules figures.
The new building will be some
thing of replica of the old, and the
massive columns which supported
the front veranda of the structure
will appear at the top of the front
stairs of the new building. The front
facing on Bayard street, will be sim
pie but impressive in design, and the
rear, facing Patterson street, will be
plain, similar to the rear of the old
building.
Six huge columns will support the
top of the building extending over
the front porch. There will be an
court room which will occupy more
than half of the space on the first
floor. The judge and jury benches
will be at the end of the room op-
posite the front entrance. In the
rear of the building along a corridor
leading from the court room will be
jury rooms on either side and other
apartments.
The library will be located in the
extreme rear of the first floor and be
q commodious apartment for the ac-
commodation of lawyers. A cloak
room and apartments for the use of
the presiding judge will be in the
rear of the court room on either side
Of the corridor.
The main grand jury room will be
on the second floor, as will an
apartment for the constables, two
spacious court rooms, about 22x4
and b0x46 feet in dimensions. There
will be a clerks room, a judges
room and other apartments.

IS NEAR,
ENJOYS THINK
Satisfied that Time viii Work
Out Mexican Problem.
gpecial o. Un,rea rress WIRE.


Washington, June 1O:-Hopeful
waiting has replaced watchful wait
ing. The administration today is
satisfied that all that is now needed
is time to completely work out the
Mexican problem. The counter pro-
posals of the United States commits
sioners have been accepted in princi-
pie by the mediators. Changes in
phTaseology viii be needed, but the
entire plan suggested has been ap-
proved as a suggestion. 1t is to form
the basis of a protocol which all
parties will sign.
Carranza's reply to the note invit-
ing him to become a factor in the
mediation conferences may reach
Niagara Falls today. Whether this
note is satisfactory to the mediators
will not matter very much for the
United States believes it can get Car
ranza's approval Of the peace plans
suggested by the United States com
missioners. The Antilla with her
cargo of arms for the constitutional
lists was due off Tampico today. The
state department has not yet decided
what Is to be done concerning the
ship. Orders have been sent to Rear
Admiral Badger to report her arriv
al When that is done the state de-
partment must decide whether she
is to be turned back and her captain
ordered not to land his cargo of
ammunition. No orders to that effect
have yet been issued.
The orders to the navy department
are to report the steamers arrival to
the state department: then Bryan
will decide. Up to the present he
has refused point blank to indicate
his position. The army and navy
have united in suggesting that the
cargo be not landed. So certain is
Secretary Bryan that there can be
no serious interruption of the nego-
tiations that he today permitted John
Lind to start for Minnesota. Lind
has been representing the state de-
partment in the conferences with the
| constitutionalists' junta, but Bryan
says that mediation has now pro
gressed so far that future negotia-
tions along this line will be with

CON TRACT FOR WATER
MAIN IS AWARDED To
LOCAL CONTRACTOR
The Water Commissioners Give
$4,000 Job to Ira R. Grouse
Work on Main to Runyon TO
Start in About Two Weeks.
FREEHOLDERS GIVE PRIVILEGE

Work on laying the thirty-inch
cast iron main from the Runyon wa
ter works to the standpipe at Ern-
ston to relieve the pumping machin-
cry of the watershed and to provide
the first installment of a plan to f.
nally place thirty-inch main from
the water works all the way to
Perth Amboy, will be started in
about two weeks, according to City
Engineer Mason, following the
awarding of contract for furnishing
and laying 1900 feet of the main
to Ira X. Grouse at an adjourned
meeting of the Board of Water Com
missioners, last night.
Mr.. Grouse was the lowest bidder
for the furnishing and laying of the
pipe complete, at $5.09 per foot.
Bids were asked for alternately, for
furnishing the pipe, laying same and
for furnishing and laying complete.
The commissioners decided that but
little or nothing would be saved by
splitting the contract, and decided
to award same complete, believing
that by placing all responsibility on
one contractor it would be more ad-
vantageous and probably ultimately
result In material saving. The con-
tract at the figure submitted by Mr..
Grouse will amount to $66, ITO.
Among the other htddels-;ssc ;ssc alter
nate B, for furnishing and layfn
pipe complete, were Liddle & Pm
fer, 1929; George Gundrum, South
Amboy, $5.77; John E. Donovan,
Port Richmond, S. l., $3.50; O'Gara
and Mcguire, Newark, 1922. The
/. bids were received May 20, and con-
sidered until last night by the COM
| missioners. 1t is planned to push
the work Immediately, as the placing
of the main as soon as possible is
considered of prime necessity
resolution from the Board Of
| Freeholders granting the water
| board permission under certain stip-
| ulations to lay the thirty-inch main
along the southern side of the thor
| oughfare between Runyon and Ern-
ston was received. The water board
accepted the conditions by resolution,
a copy of which will be sent the
Board of Freeholders by Clerk Kroe-
ger. The conditions provide that
traffic shall not be obstfucted, that
the road be placed in same condition
as before trench is dug alongside,
and that it be kept in repair for the
succeeding year after the pipe is
laid. The thoroughfare has just been
overhauled by the county board.
The board decided to sign agree
ment with the Pennsylvania railroad
for permission to lay main under
their tracks just east of Runyon.

deker, w. P. Runyon, w. P. Nolan

Special nU United Press Wtre.
Niagara Falls, June 10.-Informal
discussion between the A. b. G. me-
diators and the American delegates
have brought out the fact that the
Washington administration believes
such men as those now surrounding
General Carranza in the constitu-
tiOnalists movement, should be nam
ed to head the provisional govern
ment to be decided upon in the Nj
agara conferences as part OF the
plan for pacification of Mexico. NO
names have vet been discussed here
and the work of the mediators is still
combined to hearing the views OF
both sides as to the terms of settle
ment. Mediators have learned the
type of men United States will insist
upon succeeding General Huerta IN
the direction of governmental al
fairs. The suggestion will undoubt-
edly meet strenuous opposition on
the part of the Mexican delegates.
The Mexicans believe men free from
all alliances with any faction should
be chosen.
The reply of the constitutionalists
was still awaited today. There was
no indication of any change in the
position of the mediatOrs in their in
sistance upon declaration of an ar
mistice. There was a growing belief
that a representative of Carranza
may be seen here before the protocol
