A TRUE AMERICAN CITY.

They took census of Buenos Aires
the other day and found 1,560,162 noses
to count. The capital of Argentina is
getting to be quite q town. A good
many of the big places of the earth
are hidden away in inconspicuous
locations; inconspicuous, that is, be-
cause far from the range of ones
daily observations. There is Toxic,
for instance. This Japanese city had
nearly two million and quarter peo-
pie five years ago, being almost as
large as Chicago. Canton and Picking,
Chinese communities, each has a pop
ulation estimated at 1,600,000 One
does not know the precise method of
computation in such cases. They may
count an occasional Chinaman twice
because of the length of his pigtail,
but the fact remains that off there in
the Orient are three of the ten most
populous cities of the earth But
Buenos Aires interests Americans
more than do the far eastern cities.
1t is thoroughly American in its
push a city awake to the movements,
so manifest in the United States, in
augurated to make cities better places
in which to live. 1t has more than
seventy parks, 1S9 newspapers, a
model street railway system, a uni
versity with more students than Har-
ward. 1t is a city more than half
foreign, the chief port of entrance for
European immigrants in South Amer
lea. Such a city needs an occasional
census to let the world know what
big things it is doing.-CleVeland

TRUE FEMININE VIEW.

Reference at a recent social ses-
sion was made to the ease with
which one may stack up against a
false impression, when John j. Gard
ner, of Atlantic City, who is seeking
TO regain his old seat in Congress,
was reminded of the mistake of
Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn was beautiful city girl
who had engaged summer board at
a Jersey farm house. Uncle Josh met
her at the depot, and as soon as they
started for the farm the pretty
boarder began to throw observing
glances in every direction.
A piece of scenery that particularly
caught the young woman's eve was a
farm hand with a long tin can in his
hand shaking a white powder on the
vegetation in an adjacent field.
"Oh, Uncle JOSH" enthusiastically
cried the summer boarder, indicating
with a dainty finger, Just look at
that man out therel"
Eyes, miss" responded Uncle Josh.
Hes paris greenin' pertaters.'
Paris greening potatoes!" returned
Gwendolyn, with a disappointed look
~ thought he was putting sachet
powder on the onions. "-Philadelphia

CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR PLAYGROUND
BelIeViIIe Board of Trade Still
Holds to HornbIoWer Ave-
nue. Site.

Prior to abandoning its sessions for
the summer months, the Belleyille
Board of Trade last night decided to
retain in power its playground com
mittee to continue the fight in the
boards behalf for the purchase Of
the HornbloWer avenue tract as
playground site. The retention of the
committee is due to the fact that
conference will be held next week be
tween a committee of the Belleville
Town Council. the owners of the prop
erty and the Assessment Commission
ers to determine the cost of opening
streets through the property.
The decision to open the streets will
render futile the three years fight of
the trade board, which considers the
proposed site the most available site
in the town.
In an effort to relieve the citizens
in the northern section of the town.
Councilman Edward o. Cyphers sug-
gested that the postal authorities of
Newark be requested to establish a
mail-receiving box in that section.
Residents there are handicapped at
present in this respect on account of
the location of the postoffice and the
early closing hours.
The establishment of the box will
obviate this condition, as stamps may
be obtained and packages weighed at
Galluba's sub-station, in Washington
avenue.
The board decided to request the
Town Council to establish a town
planning commission. On the sug-
gestion of Freebooter John II. Waters
the streets and highways committee
will appear at the next meeting OF
the Board of Freeholders and request
that body 10 accept Main street as d
county road The board adjourned TO
meet next September

will be subjected to thorough exam

its in the trial of Mrs. Angle should
a charge be placed against her
Letters which mentioned an I'M
named man as having made
trouble" between the writer and Mrs.
Angle were discovered in her fiat and
are in the possession of the prosecu-
tor. They were apparently from d
petty officer on the battleship Texas
and were all signed, in typewriter,
"Charlie2 and &c"
This mans notes Indicated close
friendship between him and Mrs. An
gle. When he is found and the name
of the man who made trouble" is
learned, the police here believe they
may be approaching the heart of the
mystery of Balou's strange end.
Denies Ballou Was Intoxicated.
: In her TALKS to the newspapermen,
Mrs. Angle added very little to her
that Mr. Ballou had not been intoxi-
Gated, on Tuesday night At the in
quest all the witnesses who had
talked with Mrs. Angle testified that
she had said Mr.. Ballou was intoxi-
Gated Today she said:
"As far as I know Mr.. Ballou was
never intoxicated in his life. He was
certainly not under the influence of
liquor when he left my rooms on
Tuesday night
Mrs Angle added that Mr.. Ballou
had complained to her of attacks of
dizziness, and she was inclined to
think such an attack had caused him
to fall. She also said she could re-
member nothing that happened be-
tween the time when she, said she
found Mr.. BalIou's body on the stair
way and the time of Chief Brennan's
arrival in her rooms. She insisted
that she had no recollection of at
tempting to wash up blood stains,
putting Mr.. Ballou's hat in the cedar
box in her room, or placing her
stained clothing in the bureau
drawer She said she was so alarmed
by finding Mr.. Ballou's body that she
was not conscious of what she was
doing.
BaIIou wiIled All to Sons.
Mrs. Angle said that on Tuesday
night she had worn a black skirt,
which was found in her room. II
had a large stain in it. She told
Chief Brennan that she was dressed
entirely in white that night The
stain on this skirt has added mys-
terry to the case. Mr.. Cummings to-
day suggested that Mrs. Angle might
have wrapped the skirt around Mr.
Ballou's head when she carried him
downstairs.
Town Prosecutor Phillips and Harry
Ballou. Waldo r. Ballou's son, went
through Mr., Ballou's papers in
bank vault here yesterday. They
found life insurance policies amount
ing to several thousand dollars made
in favor of Harry Ballou, and a viii
directing that Mr.. Ballou's estate be
divided equally between his two chill
dren. There is no mention of any
one else. The will was made in 1910,
Just previous to the beginning of Mr.
Ballou's close friendship with Mrs.
Angle.

PETITION FAILS
BY 1000 NAMES,
It IS BELIEVED
Secretary Fettinger, of Com
mission League, Comedies
Defeat.
EXAMINATION WORK
is NOW COMPLETED
City Clerk Connolly Will Make
Final Report on the Re-
suit Monday.

The work of verifying the names on
the commsson government pettons S
over. With the last examination by
the bank clerks last night the final
figure was turned over TO City Clerk
James It. Connolly. Mr.. Connolly will
not give out the figures, but it is
stated on good authority that the
present cause is lost by about 1000
signatures.
The clerks are working today plac-
ing the names in filing cabinets.
These will be stored away as the city's
record. Just what action the Com
mission Government League will now
take is not known. Theodore s. F'et-
finger, secretary of the league, made
the following statement:
I'VE have not as yet received an
official report fir ON the city clerk.
We do not know just how we stand.
believe we are short about 1,500
names.
Just what the next step will be de-
Ponds upon how badly we are beaten.
We shall, at any event, place other
petitions in the field and start hus-
Ting to secure the required number
OF bonafide signatures. We do not
feel discouraged over the present out
come. We have not decided whether
we will fight to have other names an
nexed to the present petitions, but it
is very likely we SHALL
The defeat is more t1an the league
expected even after the first two
weeks showed the petitions were
doomed. Mr.. Fettinger says that the
league is beaten by 1 800 names. This
number does not include the surplus
names which were thrown out by the
men in charge of the work.
1t is expected that Mr. Connolly
will give out an official report on
Mescday morning. Upon this state
ment rests the next move of the
league.
The work of the clerks for the past
month shows that about one third of
the names secured by the league have
been thrown out. Many of these were
men who voted at the last primary
election, but who failed to cast their
ballot at the last general election.
The bulk of the names discarded as
utterly "no good" were the sigma
lures obtained by the paid can
vassers. These men were hired from
the Bureau of Associated Charities,
who obtained them from the NUM-
cipal Employment Bureau.
Among the names on the petitions
circulated by these men were faxed
and really funny names. 1t was
brought to light that several of New
arks most prominent citizens names
were forged by these men.
The city clerk and the Commission
Government League are anxious to
locate one William Lay, or Layton,
who did the hiring for the league.
