These are various phases OF this dis
case. from the slight huskincss to the

The most intimate connection exists
between affections OF the throat and
those OF the larynX. Tie reason lis
easily undsrstood. Every breath YOU
draw passes directly from the infamcd
throat into the larynX. They form diff
ferent parts OF the same tube and AR.
covered by common membrane, one
over which irritations spread rapidly.
Again the parts are in Immediate con-
tact and the mucus sccretcd In the
throat becomes entanyicd about the

and liz drawn in by one inspiration and
forced out by the next expiration.

oring to close with the property

JAIL DISCUSSED
Equal Suffrage League of AM
boys Has Meeting.

In spite of the inclement weather,
a small, but most enthusiastic audi
ence attended the open meeting of
the Equal Suffrage League of the
Amboys, held last night in the lee
ture room of the Perth Amboy Pub
lie Library The regular business
routine of the meeting was given, in
Guiding reports from various COM

president, presided over the gath
ering, after an absence of several
months, during which time she has
been touring Europe.
Individual speakers reported re-
cent suffrage movements of import
ance, and the league took into con-
sideration the observance of the
national suffrage celebration, which
is to be held Saturday, May 2.
Plans for the celebration of that day
will be perfected later by the com
mittee.
Among other important discus
sions, the attention of those pres
ent was called to conditions at the
Middlesex colnty Jail in New Bruins
wick 1t is understood that the
Woman's Club is also interested in
this matter.
The next meeting of the Equal

WAN I LOCAL MAN
FOR SUPERVISOR
Playground Boards First Meet
ing of the Season.

Though there were only three
members of the Board of Play
grounds Commissioners at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon at city hall,
they were all agreed in the opinion
that local man should be appointed
to the position of supervisor of play
grounds, if it is possible to secure a
man qualified in the particular re-
quirements for such office.
Three applications, Secretary
Nathaniel Pierce, Jr., announced,
had been received from local parties
one from Metuehen and three from
otaer places Though an application
for the position of supervisor was re.
ceived from a woman teacher of tf
city, the commissioners thought tnat
the work could be handled more adj
yantageously by a man, though they
favored both women and men for
assistants and directors.
The work last year, the commits
sioners thought, was highly success
full considering the appropriation OF
work with. This year they have
only 81 500 which the board had to
$4,000, and the playground activi-
ties will be given material boost
because of the additional $1,000.
New apparatus will be bought,
though considerable money will be
needed, it is believed, to rehabilitate
the present old and work apparatus.
The same Fairgrounds will most
likely be reused this year as last, as
follows: Barclay street, Neville
street, No / school and the Raritan
Copper Works Fairgrounds. There
were twelve assistants and directors
to Supervisor Eichbauer last season,
and the average daily attendance on
all the Fairgrounds was $50 chill
dren. Two baseball leagues featured
in the work for the sport of the boys
last summer, and folk dancing. bas-
ketball and other athletic games In
terested the girls. The Neville street
playground was discontinued August
15 because the supervisor found 1t
impossible to arrange for the use OF
the kindergarten room for folk dane
ing and this together with the al
legged antagonism of the JanitOr to-
ward the work made it eXpedient tC
close this playground and transfer
the workers to the Barclay street
playground at No. school. Mr.
Eichbauer, who was supervisor last
year and during 1912, refused to
accept the position for this summer
as he has a position of a similar
nature in Pittsburgh employing him
the year round. Commissioners
Baldwin, Pierce and Hanson were
present.

PIRATES LOOTED
WRECKED BOAT
Examination of Sunken Tug
Leads to This Charge by
Surviving Crew.
LIFE BOAT AT MORGAN

Discoveries made upon the exam
ination of the sunken tug Aries yes
terday lead the surviving members of
its crew to believe that the wreck was
robbed the night of the accident, ar
ticles of value being missing which
could not possibly have been washed
away. Captain George w. Halybur-
ton, the commander of the wrecked
tug, was compelled to return to his
home in New London yesterday, suf-
fering greatly from the effects of eX-
posure. He was accompanied by sew
eral members of his crew.
An examination of the sunken
tug showed that while the windows
had been washed away, the frames
and sashes still remain intact.
Those who went out to the wreck on
the tug boat Gertrude yesterday
morning and later on the tug Harold,
of the Thames Towing Company,
found that the heavy compass and
many other articles of value had
been stolen, contending that they
could not possibly have been washed
away on account of their weight.
Only about foot of water covered
the pilot house floor and the COM
pass had been left on a shelf several
feet above this mark. A valuable
hair mattress, belonging to Captain
Halyburton, was also missing and
this article could not have been car
ried out of the windows.
The clothing in the pilot house had
been taken out of the locker, which
could not possibly have been broken
open by sea that was not heavy
enough to carry away the window
frames. The crew Is trying to dis
cover the identity of the vandals who
took advantage of their plight by
robbing them of their personal be
longings.
Chief Engineer Griswold, assistant
John Vallett, fireman Frank Clark
and deckhand Earl Stanford are still
remaining in this city, awaiting fur
ther orders. Two wreckers of the
Hudson River Lighterage Company
have been dispatched to this city to
raise the sunken tug and will prob
ably arrive today. The life boat of
the Aries was found yesterday by
John Nau at Morgan Beach, where 1t
is likely that the bodies OF the drown
ed men, Wallace Hodgis and George
Marsdale will be washed ashore in a
few days. The coal barge Pequod,
which was the means of causing the
accident was loaded at the Pennsyl-
yania railroad docks in South Amboy
yesterday and towed today for Prov
idence, r. |.

POISON PEN IS
WOMAN s CLAIM
Sensation in Keyport When
Mrs. Greene Charges a
Former Neighbor.
RECEIVED LETTERS 5 YEARS
saecial to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, April 17.-Thoroughly
aroused by a poison PEN letter al
have been received from a
Mrs. James Monahan, of this place,
Mrs. Lenetta w. Greene, of Kearny
street, this borough, who claims she
has been the recipient of numerous
alleged malicious missives during the
past few years, has appealed to the
postal authorities at Washington.
Mrs Monahan, 1t is declared, accus
es Mrs. Greene of misconduct and of
having been criminally intimate with
the writer's brother-in-law and her
cousin. When Mrs Greene received
the latest communication, her moth
er happened to see a portion of its
contents, it is alleged, and as re-
suit became prostrated and is now
seriously i'll at her home here.
Mrs. Greene would not have the
contents OF the letter divulged, but
admits that it attacks her reputa-
tion, naming several persons. She
AYERS that it was written for Mrs.
Monahan by another person, declar-
ing that the woman does not write
legfble hand. According to the
recipient, she has been receiving
scurrilous poison pen letters during
the past five years, some of which
rhave been sent from Newark, Perth
Amboy and other places besides this
borough. They have been sent by
persons other than Mrs. Monahan,
it is stated, and were not as vile as
the latest one, which has served to
set Mrs. Greene working to end the
annoyance. She expects that a pos
tai inspector will be detailed to
clear it.
Mrs. Greene is a school teacher.
She says she received the Monahan
letter Wednesday and indications are
that it was mailed at the local post
office Wednesday morning. Her ac-
quaintance with Mrs. Monahan grew
up until few months ago when the
@emen lived side by side. The
teacher AYERS she knows positively
that Mrs. Monahan could not have
written the letter, as she had written
letters for her.
1t is not believed that Mrs. Mon
ahan started the attack upon Mrs.
Greene's character. Before it ap-
peared she had hand In the cam
paign against the school teacher
the latter received letters in many
hand writings and from several
places. Some were even received
from business firms, stating they de-
ci1ned to deal with her. Those ac-
tions are believed to have been in
spired by persons other than Mrs.
Monahan and those in the concerns.
When the postal authorities begin
york on the case, it will be endeav-
ored to ascertain who penned the
letter it is declared Mrs. Monahan
sent.

ELEVEN DIE IN
NEW YORK FIRE
Four More Suffering Great
Agony; Damage is
Over $4,000.
THEATRICAL FOLK VICTIMS
Special by United Press Wire.


New York, April 17:-Eleven
persons We're burned to death and
four more are suffering untold agony
In the hospitals today as result OF
a fire which swept the sixth story of
a rooming house in Eighth avenue
trapping the tenants in like rats and
causing over $4,000 damage
Twenty of the roomers in the build
ing were theatrical people and cloak
models. Edward Wallace, twenty
six years old; Nellie Wallace, his
wife, thirty-two, suffocated; Mrs
Allan Spencer, twenty-eight years
old, cloak model; Muriel Davis, Mrs
George d. Davis are dead, and siA
men are burned beyond recognition
The injured: Joseph Messer, serious
ly burned; Martin Walsh, face and
hands burned; Edward j. McNally
face and hands burned; Charles
Burke, face and hands burned.
Just how the fire started has not
been learned. Police detected smoke
coming from the basement of the
house. Before the firefighters reach
ed the place many had been grouped
into rooms. Others jumped from
windows or tore each others hair in
fighting for the fire escapes.
The flames spread through the
building so rapidly that many room
ers fed to the roof, where they were
trapped and some bodies are believed
by the police to be still in the ruins
Excited by the flames Louis Berlin
a roomer, was about to jump from
the third floor when Fire Captain
Smith shouted to him to wait while
he ran for small stepladder which
he placed across an areaway. This
was held by one limb as he reached
out to help Berlin across. The lad.
der broke and Berlin dropped but
Smith held him firmly. The firemen
then pulled both men to safety.

The Would-be assassin was taken
INTO the city hall police station by
the mayor himself. The man was
taken into one room and Polk was
carried into another room so that the
crowd could be excluded. Mayor
Mitchell took entire charge of the
situation, directing the desk sergeant
as to what HOSPITAL to call. The
crowd by this time was enormous,
but there were dozens of police near
the scene and police lines were
thrown around the city hall.
The man who fired the shot alb
solutely refused to tsll his name, but
ON his celluloid collar and on his
underwear was printed the name
David Rose. He is a man of very
slight build apparently about fifty
years old
The man showed signs of being
very weak and appeared annotated.
1t seems he was suffering of hallu-
cinations.
All he would say in response to
questions was Everything is all
right. l won't tell my name"
In his pockets was found letter
addressed to Mayor Armstrong, of
Pittsburgh. His message said:
Armstrong g:-You have done
your part and you -, we will
do our part soon and you will see
what part it will be-
Mayor Mitchell came out oSfhe
room where Polk was being at
tended by physicians and said the
corporation counsel had an ugly but
slight wound on the chin on the right
side of the mouth He asked that
Mrs. Polk be notified by phone i'm
mediately that the wound is not SER
ious.
The attempted assassination took
place at 1,20 o'clock. H. Duncan Of
PIT West 18th, passed directly in
front of Rose as Rose approached
the auto. The bullet struck Dun.
can on the arm and glanced upward
hitting Polk. Rose aimed directly
at the Mayor and it was only by the
chance interference of Duncan and
Polk that the Mayor escaped injury.

Mexican Crisis Not Serious.
pciaI pv United Press Wire.

Special pU United Press Wire.
Washington, April 17.-Leaving a
protracted cabinet meeting today
Secretary of State Bryan insisted that
latest developments in the Mexican
crisis were not SO serious as to
threaten break with the Huerta
government. Bryan made it plain
that he expects complete agreement
between the United States and the
Mexican government as represented
by Huerta within a very short time.
Bryan refused to comment on the
report that Huerta demanded that
any salute which is fired under his
direction can be replied to just by
guns from the American fleet and
that an official of the government of
Mexico be permitted to be on board
a United States warship during the
exchange of salutes.
The ceremonies of interchanging
the national salute in the event of the
promised reparation by Huerta will
be simple. Whether the salute will
be fired from Mexican gunboat or
from one of the Mexican military
Notifications at Tampico will depend
on whether Huerta s gunboats return
in time. The ceremony will be as
follows:
The MexicGns will run up the star
and stripes to the mainmasthead oi
one of their gunboats. or, in the event
the gunboats are not present, to the
flagstaff of the fort. A salute of TWEEN
ty-one guns will then be fired by the
Mexican saluting battery.
As the last shot booms the stars and
stripes will be hauled down, and at the
mainmast of the United States dis.
patch boat Dolphin the national stand
ard of Mexico will be broken out. The
Dolphin's saluting gun will then repeat
the twenty-one gun salute of the Mex
leans In acknowledgment of the apol-
ogy. During the ceremony the officers
of both services will stand at attention.
Playing Of the Star SpangIed Ban
ner" and the Mexican national anthem
will be dispensed with.
Huerta will yield to the demands of
the United States and order a salute
of twenty-One guns to the American
flag by way of reparation for the Tam
pico insult.
Fleet Continues.

ministrntlon officials have put on dis
