LATER

HALE PAST ONE.-The President
lies nsensible with his lifc-blood ebbing
away. 1t is a slight consolation to learn
that Gen. Grant has reached Philadel-
rhia unframed. as fears have been en-
tertained that plot had been laid. and
that he might have also been a victim.
So passes away the Champion of Lib
crty and Union; a devoted husband and
indulgent father, a sincere friend and
an exemplary citizen and honest man.
May God in His mercy protect the Uni
ted States,

At cabinet meeting at which Gen
Grant was present the subject OF the

INCREASE IN WORK
At COPPER WORKS
Boost of About Ten Per Cent.
in Operations at PIant-De-
mand for Copper.

Announcement of increased opera
tions at the c. Pardee Works here is
accompanied by the report of an in
crease of about ten per cent in opera
tions at the Raritan Copper Works
during the past month. The copper
refinery is being operated at about
eighty per cent. of its full capacity
and construction work is under way
on wash and locker building. Con-
ditions at the big American Smelling
and Refining Works in this city re-
main practically the same as they
have been during the past several
months.
Increased demand for copper
caused an increase in operations at
the Raritan Copper Works a few
weeks ago and it was then believed
that the demand In this hemisphere
would grow to such proportions that
the plant would be put into full op-
erations within a short time, regard
less of the European war and a con-
sequent cessation of shipping. Indi-
cations at present are that full op-
erations of the plant will not occur
for some time to come. Up to about
month ago the plant was being op-
Grated at about seventy per cent. of
full capacity.

FEELING the Public Pulse.

Windsor, Vt, July 14.-Intense inter
est of the American people in the pres
ent situation with Germany was fore
ed home to President Wilson today by
a food of additional messages from
organizations and persons of promi-
nence. Many were telegraphed. More
came by mail, but all emphasized the
realization that an extremely grave
and delicate stage in history making
has been reached.
The president spent several hours
reading the messages In which he has
expressed great confidence as the
"pulse of the people" as representing
the real sentiment of American citizen
ship.
Secretary of State Lansing and the
president are in frequent communica-
tton, both by wire and long distance
telephone The president was advised
by Secretary Lansing that he had al
ready begun work on memoranda re
quested preliminary to the reply to
be made TO Germany.
That the president has not yet reach
ed any definite conclusions and will
not begin his personal work in draft
ing the reply to Germany is learned
upon authority.

BIG VESSEL HERE;
20 OF CREW DESERT
One of the Largest Ships Ever
in Port and the First from
Argentina.

The steamship Tampa, one of the
largest and most peculiarly con-
structed vessels ever in this port,
and believed to be the first craft here
from the Argentine republic in South
America, entered today There was
CONSERVATION aboard as the big ves-
sci pulled slowly into the port,
twenty men of its crew of 1928
men, deserted yesterday. But one of
the crew could speak English to any
degree, and his vocabulary of Eng
lish was so limited as to make it al
but from what could be learned from
his statements it appeared that the
captain was much dissatisfied with
the action of some members of the
crew
The Tampa is reported to be a ma
val reserve vessel of Argentina. 1t
carries a crew of 1913 men. With
twenty deserting the vessel In the
metropolis yesterday, there were 108
in the crew left when the craft en-
tered port here. This is believed to
be the largest crew that ever manned
vessel of any kind through local
waters. The reason for desertton by
score of the sailors is not given,
but it appears that the men were
dissatisfied with life in the South
and wanted to see America.
Here to Get Coal.
Loaded with flax the Tampa came
to this country from Buenos Aires,
Argentina. 1t stopped at Porto Rico.
and discharged its cargo at New
York. After being fumigated the
craft came to this port. 1t was
boarded here by Federal Health
Officer c. w. Naulty, Jr.. and after
entering properly, the craft was per-
mitted to proceed to Port Reading,
to be loaded with bunker coal. After
that has been done the vessel will
be headed for Philadelphia, COM
tomorrow.
The vessel has two stacks. 1t at

PARK PLAYGROUND
TO OPEN THIS WEEK
Because of Rains, Opening of
New Recreation Center Has
Been Delayed Somewhat.
FENCE FOR PLAYGROUND
No Steps Have Been Taken as
Yet to Name the Three New
Parks of Our City.
FENCE FOR PLAYGROUND

Because of the numerous showers
of late, opening of the public play
ground section of the new park on
the former Merritt tract in the north
ern part of the city has been delayed
until Friday or Saturday. In all
events, the playground will be
thrown open to the public on Mon
day, stated Alderman John ]. Clark,
chairman of the councils committee
on public grounds and buildings, to-
day. AS yet no steps have been TAX
en- by the board of aldermen to fur
nish names for the recreation places.
1t is likely that such action will be
taken at one of the council meetings
next month Until this is done the
parks will be known by numbers.
Wire Fence for Playground.
1t had been intended to open the
Merritt tract playground about July
l. The plans for opening this week
have been further hampered by care
less drivers who have undone some
of the work of leveling executed
there within the past few days. They
have driven horses and vehicles over
the newly filed section, tracking it
up considerably. AS result, the
city fathers are contemplating the
erection of a wire fence about the
playground, the erection of warn
ing sign and the subsequent prosecu-
ton of drivers If the warning is not
needed. 1t is intended to nlacee r~eJyfrr<
-srs ser: fr-rne ground today and the
opening will not come later than
Monday, Mr.. Clark states.
Neither Mr.. Clark nor any other
individual of the city government
will take upon himself to choose
names for the parks. Many have
been suggested through the EVEN
ING NEWS, but the selection will
probably not be made until next
Monday. The task will be brought
before the Mayor and Board of AL
dermen. Until such time, the
small recreation place at New
runswick avenue and Fayette street
will be known as park No. l, that on
the former Merritt tract will be
known as park No. 2 and that plan
ned for the westerly end of the aims
house land will be known as park
No. 3.

Paris, July 14:-Paris today cele-
brated the most inspiring 14th Of
July in her history. In previous
years the anniversary of the date on
which the French people ended mon
archial tyrrany for all time by bat
tering in the walls of the Bastile,
was given over to street balls, carni-
walls, banquets, great, noisy, spectacu-
lar demonstrations.
Today a single magnificent cere-
mony, significant of the new spirit OF
France, and the sacred union of all
clashes, replaced all that. At z
o'clock this morning the ashes of
Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, the
French captain who composed per-
haps the most inspiring national
song the world has ever heard, THE
Marseillaise, arrived in Paris from
their former resting place at Choisy-
le-Roi.
Have Impressive Cortege.
At 10 O'Clock, in one of the great
est and most impressive corteges
Europe ever saw, the ashes were
borne from the Arch of Triumph to
