GET PARKS, SAYS
FATHER CANTWELL
New Priest at St. Mary's Fa-
vors Agitation for Parks
Plan for Big Reception.

Members of the Holy Name So
ciety are making arrangements for
q reception to be held in st. Mary S
hall Sunday, when Rev. Father w. +.
Cantwell, LII. D., who succeeds
Monsignor Bernard T. O'Connell as
the head Of st. Marys parish, VIII
meet the members and friends OF his
new congregation.
Personally the new pastor Is a gem
tleman of splendid bearing, genial in
manner, and a pleasing conversation
alist For twenty-five years Father
Cantwell dwelt in pleasant commun-
ion with his beloved parishioners at
won his way in this city to the
hearts OF many who predict that his
energy, tact and eloquence, coupled
with his evident qualifications as a
spiritual advisor will soon give him
the we'll deserved pleasure of see
ing st. Mary's parish grow and
prosper, and that the cause Of the
church will flourish in his hands.
His coming to Perth Amboy is far
from being an advent In the midst Of
strangers for In his interview he
spoke of having been in pleasant re-
lationship during the past years with
Richard Bolger, Thomas F. Burke,
Thomas Brown, Patrick Convery,
Police Chief Patrick Burke, DR..
Frank Henry and others whom he
had met In connection with his pas
toral duties.
Fitting himself already to his new
surroundings, Father Cantwell dis
plays a surprising knowledge Of
Perth Amhoy it's advantages and
| its pQssibili les. and EeN2t busias.
8fally predicts that It lis destined to
become one OF the great cities OF the
state.
wish" said the new pastor, to
thank the good people OF Perth Am
boy for the cordial welcome they
have given me, and I hope that our
relations will continue to remain
very friendly in the future.
II must say that l was agreeably
surprised at your fine city--its enter
prise and Its industry. It is bound
to become one Of the cities of the
state, and / can even see for 1t a
population of a hundred thousand.
A fine water front, of course, Is one
Of the great assets of Perth Amboy,
and this, together with the city's
growing industries, is bound to bring
about a general expansion.
ut pleased me greatly to learn
that an agitation for public parks is
being carried on, and that it prom
ises to be successful. / wish, too,
that the planting of trees through
out the city would be- encouraged,
for even brick and mortar cannot
give a city the supreme touch that
nature can give 1t.
"The city officials are doing
wonderful thing in giving a park to
the poor people of the city, and they
will never regret it. A bit of green
grass and few trees in a congested
section will teach the gospel of clean
illness and nature as nothing else will
do"

TO ARREST VICTIM of RIOT
AT PLANT FOLLOWING FEUD

After a thorough investigation of
the revolver battle between two fac
tions Of Italians employed at the bar
rel works of the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing Company, the police have decided
that the victim at the city hospital
Is as guilty of participation In the
riot as any Of those who may have
shot him. When the man at the hos
pital recovers it is possible that he
will be arraigned for carrying con-
eea1ed weapons, as ii has been
learned that he fired a revolver un-
til its chambers were empty, and
that the weapon was taken from his
grip just before he was borne to the
city hospital with bullet through
his left thigh, a shot through his
loins and a scalp wound in his fore
head. This morning the man, who
gave his name as George Groge-
branger, is improved, and 1t is likely
he will recover The victim, 1t is
said, was known by several names.
The five or six other Italians in the
shooting melee made good their es-
cape and have not been heard from.
Patrolmen Martin and Dunham
brought two witnesses to the affair
to the police station and, after hav-
ing their names recorded, were re-
leased until wanted. They were
Dominick Patero, twenty-seyen, OF
.337 Washington street, and Antonio
Caristi, twenty-seven, of 337 Wash
ington street.
After an investigation Detective
Sergeant Long has come to the con-
clusion that the clash of the two fac
tions was the result of jealousy ex-
listing between the Genoa" gang and
the "Calibrta" faction.

ORDERS TO COVER
UP REFUSE DUMP
Health Board Commissioners
Think Garbage Contractors
Have Been Lax in Duties.
REPORT ON NEWARK VISIT
Ordinance Regulating Sale of
Fish introduced and Accept
ed on 1st and End Readings.
REPORT ON NEWARK VISIT

Expressing an opinion that
Graham & McKeon, the garbage con-
tractors, were lax in their duties, the
health commissioners, in regular
session last night, instructed Secre-
tary LaRoe to notify the contractors
to cover up the refuse dump in the
northern section of the city daily,
thereby eliminating to an extent what
was termed to be menace to the
public health. The secretary was
also instructed to communicate with
the Board of Aldermen, asking that
body to insist upon Graham & Nc
Keon living up to the clause of their
contract that provided that the dump
should be covered each day with at
least six inches of sand.
A report of the recent visit to
Newark to witness the examination
of applicants for plumbers licenses
was made by Commissioner Dinesen,
chairman Of the special committee.
He recommended that a system
somewhat similar to that used in
Newark should be placed in effect
here, and 1t was decided to hold a
special meeting Monday night for
the consideration of the matter. AT
this time, 1t is expected, preliminary
steps will be taken toward the forma-
tion of an examining board for
plumbing applicants in this city, as
suggested several weeks ago by the
Master Plumbers Association, both
for the protection of the local plumb
ers and the public.
An ordinance relating to the sale
of fish during the summer months
was introduced and accepted on the
first and second readings. This Or
dinance provides that all venders of
fish shall secure a license from the
health department, fee for which
shall not exceed fifty cents. All fish
to be sold shall be kept in metal
April l1,l q ~ I Aagus1 IN yehicls
used FOR carrying fish shall be
equipped with nfetal-lined contain
or for the offal.
Health Officer Willsey was in
structed to draw up an ordinance
designed to bring about an improve
ment of sanitary conditions in local
cigar factories.
Favorable comment was MADE on
the work being conducted by Miss
Amelia Harmsen, the public health
nurse, and the health officer reported
that at the present time she was
making fifteen regular visits to
homes where instruction was needed
in the care of infants.
Instances were pointed out where
local midwiyes had failed to report
births to the proper authorities, and
the secretary was instructed to COM
municate with every midwife In the
city, impressing upon them the neces-
sity of complying with the law in
this respect.
1t was decided that the health
commissioners should appear in
body before the Board of Aldermen
at the next regular meeting in an
other effort to bring about the erec-
ton of an isolation hospital.
Those present at the meeting were
President H. II. PETE, Commissioners
Dinesen, Smith, Dilts and Peterson,
Health officer Willsey and Secretary
LaRoe.

via London, April 26-The Germans
are employing a new method OF hurf-
ing their poisonous gas. # is by
means of shells from seyenteen-lncia
guns. one of which fell just outside
of Popering tonight. As details OF
the action of the gas utilized By The
Germans in their attack are received
high headquarters officials unite IN
eharacterizing the use Of the vapor
as a complete violation of all rules

victims taken to the hospitals have
died after thirty or forty hours Of
ouick pneumonia. All suffer greatly
from the pain in their threats and
their lungs and respiration some
times runs as high as fifty minute
in the vain gasping for breath. Doc
tors in attendance declare the
Germans might as well utilize bombs
filled with vithurie enteric or cholera
germs. Only those strong enough
physically to struggle out OF the gas
eeus zone reached the hospitals.
Many are left In trenches and are
undoubtedly dead Early reports
that the gas only stupefed and did
not kill are declared to have been
TOO optimistic. The gas seems 10
either kill quickly, fer those over

away only to be taken to hospitals
with what seems like pneumonia.

MR.. RockwooD's STATEMENT.

In a statement published this morn
ina Chief Engineer C. r. lockwood
says;
"Some day hope and expect to see
a large part of the mesa under Wa
ter, but the district cannot afford to
touch it, or even encourage it, until
you have already paid for your water,
have been furnished with a sure and
safe supply, and have legally acquired
your priority of right"
This reads nicely, but does not Mr..
lockwood know that President Ham
ilton and Attorney conkIine have done
their utmost to get cooperation Of the
interior department to put water on
the mesa2
Does Mr.. lockwood know that At
torney Conklinq has acquired 6,d0o
acres of railroad land on the mesa?
Has Mr.. lockwood forgotten that
only this last summer, in defending
his proposal to do work that would
reclaim 100000 additional acres in
/ iutNlbOg lif loohtu q lCll1Ih1 ohdltlhtHb
supporting his contention that there
always would be ample water for all
the land that could be reclaimed2
What would have happened to the
valley this wear, for instance, il that
200 900 acres in Mexico had had prior
opportunity to use water over the
whole West Side country?
Mr. lockwood tells OF the economy
of his work. Does he remember a
letter sent to Mr.. Andrade by the dis
trict, on his recommendation, in which
he outlined his plans for future work,
wherein, in addition to his own salary
of $3.50 a month, Mr. andrade was to
be employed at $500 a month, C. NJ.
Perry at $500, Thomas Hind at $a00
and <. n. Gaines at $500, making a
total of So ,a5O a month for engineer
/ ing work, to say nothing OF all the
other men who would be required?
Does Mr.. Rockwood feel that this sug-
qestion was in the line of economy
