Practically Decide to Have
Raritan Street Cut Through
to Improve Tract.
INSPECTION THIS MORNING
City's Third Park Will Amount
to ID ACreS-OffiCiaIS are
FavorabIy Impressed.

Preliminary plans for establishing
the city's third public park on the
aims house property were mapped
out by city officials during public
inspection trip this morning. 1t was
practically decided to have Rar1tan
avenue cut through to improve the
property and make it more easily ac-
cessible, according to the scheme In
augurated by Alderman John j.
Clark. The third park will be stu
ated at the westerly end of the aims
house land, amounting to about
fourteen acres 1t Is likely that rus
tic bridges and attractive winding
paths will be constructed along the
line where it is proposed to cut Rari-
tan avenue through from near Brace
avenue to New Brunswick avenue.
The city officials, Mayor Ferd Gar
retson, Aldermen Clark and John
Kutcher and City Engineer Samuel
j. Mason, who made the inspection
trip today, viewed several sites Of
proposed pavements and they favor
ably discussed proposition to con-
struct a walk along the concrete
bulkhead in Front street, between
Gordon and Market streets.
To Prepare Plans at Once.
AS result of understandings
reached during the inspection trip
today, Engineer Mason will proceed
Immediately to prepare plans for
opening and extending Raritan ave-
nue. through the aims house proper
ty to New Brunswick avenue, and
looping culverts along the line with
hrtl orJTl lr
walks. He will design the proposed
park at the westerly end of the poor
house land, mapping out winding
paths through the woods and prob
ably constructing some sort of
playground on the most level portion
of that which it is intended to de-
vote to park purposes. The officials
practically reached decision that
it would be best to remove the dog
pound and pest house to the north
westerly corner of the city's land, so
as to give ample room for the park
and remove the pound and pest
house sufficiently for from the recre-
alton place to eliminate any nui-
sance.
View other Sites.
Members of today's inspection
party viewed sites of proposed pave
ments in several places. They start
ed out at 10 o'clock and went to
First street, then to Brighton ave-
nue., along the river, bay and sound
front, over the end of High street,
over the lower portions of Catalpa
avenue and Gordon street and over
Front street Upon viewing the site
of the proposed concrete pavement
at the end of the block pavement
between Market and Gordon streets,
Engineer Mason suggested that
four-foot walk be constructed along
the easterly side of Front street,
along he~top Of the concrete bulk
head, between Market and Gordon
streets. The idea met with favor and
it is likely that the suggestion will
be carried out.

ENGLAND AGAINST
LINER TRANSFER
England Might Agree, if Al
lowed to Receive Cargo of
Munitions on Ships.
EDWARD L. KEEN

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
London, July 13:-The allies, l
am reliably informed today, would
not consent to any arrangement be-
tween Germany and the United
States by which interned German
liners would resume their sailings
under the American flag, with the
understanding that they carry no
contraband to England.
1t was the unanimous opinion that
both the British and French foreign
Offices would state fatty to Washing
ton II such a proposal was formally
made, that 1t could not be entertain
ed by the allies. Officials pointed
out here that such a transfer would
be void under Chapter of the
Declaration OF London, signed by
both the United States and Germany.
England Might Waive.
1t was considered possible that
England, at least, might waive her
rights under this section and con-
sent to the transfer of the liners to
the American flag by bonafde pur-
chase with the understanding that
besides passengers the liners be
used to carry contraband, including
munitions, to British ports.
1t is inconceivable, however, that
Germany would now consent to
transfer by which her great liners
would become carriers of war muni-
tions to her enemies

THAW TRIAL DRAWS
TO CLOSE TODAY
DR.. Flint on Stand Most of the
Morning - Jury May Get
Case Late Tonight.
Special bv United Press Wire.

Special bv United Press Wire
New York, July 13:-"Thaw's
own best witness" was the general
verdict when DR.. Austin Flint, the
states star alienist, stepped down
from the witness stand after strong
and gruelling examination in Thaw's
sanity trial. John B. Stanchfield,
Thaw's chief counsel, fairly bonn
barded Flint with embarrassing
questions. The alienist was worsted
in tilts time and time again while
Thaw looked on Interestingly, his
face showing his glee.
On just one point was Stanchfeld
stumped by Flint. The alienist
clung steadfastly to his assertion on
direct examination that "Thaw is
now and always has been hopeless
ly incurable paranoniac." Thaw's
counsel fired dozen questions at
Flint on that subject and always re-
ceived the same affirmative answers.
Surprise of Trial.
DR. Flints testimony proved one Of
the biggest surprises of the Thaw
trial. Under cross examination by
John B. Stanchfield and questioned
frequently by Justice Hendrick, the
alienist said:
That Thaw has given no indica-
tions in court that he is suffering
from paranoia or any other form of
insanity
That there is no way that a Judge
and jury can tell a paranoiac; that
they must take the word of the
alienfsts.
That if Thaw were sent to Mat
etawan as suffering from maniacal
Oppressive insanity, he was commit
ted as having disease he did not
have.

SHIPPERS PROTEST AGAINST
REDUCTION OF FREIGHT RATES
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the Il v ENING " q HS.
Trenton, July 13:-Shippers of
fruit and produce over the New Jer-
sey Southern Division of the Central
railroad protesting against reduc-
ton of their freight rates was the
novel feature of the hearing yester-
day afternoon before the State Board
of Public Utility Commissioners on
the question of the reasonableness of
the existing tariff of rates. The
hearing was on complaint filed by
the Fruit Growers Club of Elm,
Camden county, charging that the
rates on fruit and produce, particu-
larly Strawberries, etc, were too
high, and asking the Utility Board
to order a lower tariff. Several ship
pers from points further south In
Cumberland county were sworn as
witnesses for the railroad and pro-
tested against any lowering of the
rate. They claimed they got unus-
ually good service for which the
present rate was reasonable, and
lower rate would probably mean
poorer service.
