from Philadelphia to the effect that
the Phillies have accepted the terms
of Mr.. Reed, along with those of
Pitcher Seaton and Outfielders Beck

8 HEALTH BOARD
. MEMBERS MAY
NOT Be RENAMED
c. C. Baldwin Will be Reap
pointed as Playground Com

That G. G. Baldwin would be re-
appointed as public playground COM

In questioning Mayor Ferd Garretson
upon the subject of making appoint
ments the first of the year today. 1t
was learned that Harvey A. Sell, An
drew R. A. Oyergaard and John A..
Peterson would probably not be re-
turned to the Board of Health. Re-
garding appointments of two men to
fiyy positions on the Board of Educa-
tion now held by John X. Sheehy
and Louis M. Rossi, Mayor Garrett
son stated there would be no decision
until about the middle of January.
He also stated that no decision of
any kind had been reached concern
Ing appointees to constitute a new
Board of Harbor Commissioners.
1t is practically certainty that
Mr.. Baldwin, who is president of the
Public Playground Commission, will
be reappointed as member of that
body, and that Mr.. Waring will be
returned to the Board of Trustees OF
the library. Mr.. Waring was named
to fill the unexpired term OF Fred j..
Cox, who became jury commission

Much pressure Is being, brought to
bear upon the mayor in regard to
making appointments for the school
board. Hebrew residents of the city,.
appear extremely anxious to have
one of their number represented on
the board and several of them have
conferred with the mayor, while
others have sent communications to
him urging the appointment OF one
man or another. Likewise has the
executive received communications
from organizations. Mr. Garretson
will name one man to serve for five
years and another to serve for four
years. In view of the fact that the
executive has from January l to 15
to choose men for the appointments,

In making new appointments for
the health board, Mr.. Garretson Will
try to adhere to the scheme adopted
year or two ago OF naming one
man from every ward in the city, 30
that each section may have repre-
sentation in manner similar to
that employed on the Board OF Al
dermen He proposes to name a
fourth ward man to replace A. r. A.
Overgaard, d sixth ward man to re-
place John A. Peterson, and first
ward representative in the place OF
Harvey A. Sell.
While speculation regarding the

He declared smilingly today that
that was one of the questions he had

TAXATION BOARD
TO HEAR APPEALS
HERE ON JAN. 8
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, Dec. 80: - The
important work mapped out by Clerk
Edward Harmed for the members of
the County Board of Taxation is pro-
crossing merrily, with each member
working unstintedly to give justice
In every tax appeal. The board has
planned to sit at the city hall in
Perth Amboy at / o'clock Friday at
ternoon, January 8, to hear the thir-
ty-flve appeals from that city. Two
days later the board will start on the
tour of the taxing districts in the sub
urbs Of Perth Amboy. 1t Is under
stood that the board has about de-
cided to give personal investigation
in all cases which bear evidence of
merit, regardless of where located.
The members of the county board re-
lieve that every effort should be
made to give justice in deserving ap-
peals.
Fortysix appeals from Highland
Park were heard yesterday after
noon in the court room at the coun-
ty office building, in this city. The
tax rate in Highland Park Is $2.28.
Preceding the hearing of the High
land Park appeals, the board heard
the following appeals from East
Brunswick township taxpayers; Sa-
fran Realty Company, ninety acres,
assessed at $4,000, asks reduction to
$4,000 borough of South River, wa
ter plant, assessed at $4,000, asks
reduction to $500; John Klein.
Jr., personal assessed at $40, asks
reduction to 5000; Postal Telegraph
Company, poles, wires, etc, assessed
at $4,000, asks reduction to $2,577.
Decision was reserved yesterday In
the appeals from East Brunswick
township and Highland Park.
There were 1877 appeals from tax
payers In New Brunswick, heard
Monday by the county board, and de-
cision was also reserved in each case.
There have been an unusually large
number of "kicks" from New Bruins
wick this year, due, 1t is believed, to
the fact that the tax rate has scared
to the unprecedented figures of $2.59.
Property owners were staggered
when they received their tax bills.

YOUTH USES SAW
TO MAKE ESCAPE
AT REFORM1''vvnY

The police of this city, Roosevelt,
Woodbridge, South Amboy and other
points of the state were today on the
watch for George Donaldson, who
was supposed to have escaped from
the reformatory in Woodbridge town
ship. near Railway last night. The
prisoner made his getaway by saw
ing a hole through the window bars
learning a trade, and lowering him
self to the yard by means of rope
made of bed sheets. His disappear
ance was discovered within ten min
utes and general search, which
lasted we'll into the night was insti-
tuted, without avail.
The prisoner, who is only eighteen
years old, was not found until this
morning, when he was discovered un-
der lumber pile in the carpenter
shop of the institution inside the
walls 1t was found that he had
tried to get over the walls by the use
of ladder which he found In the
shop, but the ladder was too heavy
to aid him.
Donaldson, who is from Mattea-
wan, N. Y, is described as five feet
seven inches in height, weighing 1870
pounds, with blue eyes and brown
hair. His number at the institution
was 3,058.
About $50 O'Clock last night the
prisoner was at work with others in
the school room, and a line was
formed for the march to the Bible
class. Donaldson slipped out of the
line. An investigation showed that
he had sawed his way through the
bars in the school room, that he had
tied rope made from bed sheets to
the broken bars and had slid down
the outside of the building, two sto-
ries to the yard.
Then he went to the carpenter
shop and secured a twenty-five foot
ladder. This, however, was locked
to make 1t useless for just such
emergencies as Donaldson proposed
to use 1t. He succeeded In breaking
the lock and then carried the ladder
to the wall which surrounds the in
stitution.

BIG DONATIONS
OF CLOTHING To
GIVE TO NEEDY
FOR POOR FUND
Previously acknowledged. 81, ,636.15
Balance Xmas tree fund. 42.86
$1,679.01

While there was a shortage in the
making of contributions to the fund
to provide means for aiding the poor
of Perth Amboy, Bundle Day" was
carried on with encouraging results
yesterday. Many bundles of clothing
for the INDECENT residents of the city
were received at the various church
houses and they are being collected
today by agents of the American
Red Cross Representatives OF the
Red Cross believe that If weather
conditions had been favorable yes
terday, Bundle Day" would have
been much more Of success than it
was. Results noticed when the
bundles are collected today will
serve in the making Of decision as
to whether another Bundle Day.
should be held. The one held yester-
day will serve to provide enough
clothing for the poor for the time
being.
Slippery condition of walks and
pavements made walking SO hazard
GUS and disagreeable that many per-
sons who had planned to bring cloth
ing to the church houses did not
venture out yesterday. AS the re-
suits are, they are gratifying to the
workers for the cause and they state
that much will be accomplished
when the clothing is distributed
among the poor in systematic way
under the direction of Miss Alma G.
Widerstrom. However, the workers
claim that IL Bundle Day" had ex-
listed today the receipts would easily
have been doubled. The bundles
gathered in today will be placed at
headquarters of the citizens relief
committee today, from which place
they will be taken for distribution
among the poor people.
There were no donations to the re-
| lief fund during the past day, but the
amount subscribed was swelled con-
siderably by receipt Of balance from
the poor children's Christmas tree
fund. Through the efforts of Man
ager Ned X. Miller, of the Ditmas
theatre, and the EVENING NEWS, q
highly successful Christmas event
was held for the benefit of the poor
children of the city. The public do
mated the money necessary and the
response was so liberal that consid-
erable more cash than was needed
was received, the total amount given
being $15633. OF that amount
lS113.47 was used for the purchase of
toys, fruit, candy and the like for the
children, thereby leaving balance OF
$42.86. In accordance with an
nouncements previously made, the
balance was turned over to help swell
| the relief fund.

ALDERMEN WILL
PURCHASE AUTO
FIRE APPARATUS
Contract Awarded Last Night
for $500 Motor Driven
Hose Truck, so Built That
Pump Can be Added.

Perth Amboy will be provided
with it's first piece of motor driven
fire apparatus within the next three

ing last night that although sug-
gestions had been made to place the

house to replace an old hose wagon
nof in those quarters. The vehicle
no win use might collapse at any
time, officials state, as 1t is in dilap
idated and rickety condition.

the fire department in the place OF
horse-drawn apparatus was reached
by the present board last July. Bids
were advertised for and they were
received on August z last. They in
cluded prices on varied makes and
qualities. Aftef much deliberation,
which did not cease until just before

SpeCtuf OD UUItSu ETooo VH0.
Washington Dec. 3O:-An imme-
diate reply from Great Britain is not
expected by this government, to its
note protesting against British inter-
ference with United States COM
nerce. This was declared today by
high governmental officials. Delay
in the British reply, 1t was pointed
out, hinges on two features-the Sc
rious character of the protest and
the necessity of great consideration
and care in framing the reply, so the
situation is not considered immedi-
ately critical or urgent.
Strong intention in high official
circles was evident today to back up
the American protest. Party lines In
congress we're obliterated in the unit
ed stand behind the Presidents ac-
tion. The White House received
rlany letters and kilograms enthusi-
astically supporting the President for
his action.
For the first time 1t was learned
from high official sources in the
state department that the final cause
prompting this governments action
was the constantly shifting policy of
England in it's treatment Of contra
bands. Another of the strongest
features of the protest, it is under
stood, is based upon the action of
Great Britain in the seizure Of cop
per shipments destined to Scandi-
navian and Italian ports.

NAL that the Austrian armies have
been completely routed featured the
