SHOWING WAY TO HUDSON CITY AND

Although Competing In Its First Inter Association Meet. Perth

Foremost in State, Winning by Few Points =: Run Dead
Heat With Newark in the Mile Relay.

, IN the swimming races. Bracket, OF
ne Perth Amboys, was an easy win
Ter in the fancy diving event, aud
Dick Oliver had no difficulty n
.aking second honors These boys
competed against Stoddard and
,unn, OF Newark.
Bracket displayed great form In
every dive, executing the front dive,
he back dive, the front jack-knife,
he rear jack-knife, and the flying
Dutchman in skillful manner. All
he contestants were given an option
II dive, and Bracket scored heavily
n the corkscrew. Oliver made five
points by his execution on the swan
dive; Num- made rive In the one-and-
a-half, and Stoddard took similar
number in the hand-stand dive.
George Winfield Scott upheld Perth
Amboy's honor in the plunge in great
style, his distance being forty-three
and one-fourth feet, as compared
with thirty-seven feet the mark made
by Mum, OF Newark.
Rufus Allen started in the 200 yard
event against v. d tppton, OF New
ark, but az he was . Inc a.afth length
he became exhausted he gamely
tried to finish, but as he progressed a
few feet more he was seized with
cramps and went to the bottom. Sew
eral Perth Amboy swimmers went
in the tank and brought him to the
surface, medical attention being
found necessary. Had Allen been able
to finish this event he would have
made three points for second place,
thus giving Perth Amboy the number
that was needed to make the score a
tie. I'D
Newark easily won the relay race,
the time being one minute 35 2-5 sec
onds, as compared with one minute,
-foTty-one seconds for Perth Amboy.
Frank Mccormick finished second to
Stoddard OF Newark, In the fifty yard
swim, and Francis Oliver took third
position,
Oliver lost out to G. Num- In his
heat of the 100 yard race, but he
managed to make the second hest
time. BILLY" Honghton won HIS heat
OF this race from Pfeiffer and took
third place in the time card.
The Newark swimmers expressed
much satisfaction at the way in which
the aquatic events were handled and
challenged the Perth Amboy team to
a return meet. This will probably
be accepted after George Blaney, cap
tain Of the local team, gets his men
drilled more thoroughly In tank
manouyers. Much time was lost Sat-
urday in making the turns.
A. c. Clark acted as starter for the
water events. Those who competed

Convery place bridge excavation and
the New Brunswick avenue pave
ments, two of the largest and most
sought for improvements in the north
western section of the city. The lat
ter will be completed by the time
summer arrives. city officials believe.
and it is declared that the much talk

The New Brunswick avenue pave
ment is now attracting the attention of
officials in the city 3 street department.
This is the largest and most important
street job in operation at the present
time. The work had been proposed
for last year, but because of the late
ness of the season and the fact that
winter was near at hand when the
necessary authorization had bean made.
operations were deferred until this
spring. The work is now being rushed
with rapidity and a large amount Of
curbing has been set.

OF $500 bonds for the grand jury by
Recorder Pickersgill. John Chakow-
sky, twenty-five years old, of 268
Davidson avenue, who was witn
Chismar. but denied having aided In
the attack, was released.
The alleged holdup created con-
siderable excitement in Fayette
street about 4 o'clock and resulted In
chase after the two men by twenty
or more pedestrians. Max Halpern,
kowsky down Jefferson street in
buggy and overlook him In yard in
,ower Jefferson street, Just below

on the street at the time and Joined

er Jefferson street he found that
young Halpern and several others
had the man cornered behind house
and battle In which rocks were
used as ammunition was in progress.
Halpern Sand others closed In on
Chakowskys who was behind a build
ing, and Detective HUFF took him to
the lookup. The sleuth then went on

into him as he turned the northwest
corner from Front street into Smith.
He was promptly locked up. Both of
the accused were in cells before

In court this morning Mr.. Halpern
said that Chakowsky had been

Mr.. Halpern did not desire to press
any charge against Chakowsky, and

police. and working regularly. CHS
mar is an cd offender.
According to young Halpern. his
father had just placed s43 In his
pocket in the office before starting
home, and he thought the men must
have seen the money, as Mr.. Halpern
was attacked just outside the office
door. Young Halpern said the two
accused were strangers to him. AS
Chismar did not carry any weapon
and as he did not take anything from
Mr.. Halpern. the original charge of
attempted highway robbery was
changed to assault and battery. Mr.
Halpern Is suffering from a severely
confused right eye and bruised

C6ls|5Ea R1lE
BY COMMISSION

Discussion as to whether commits
sion form of government should be
urged here at this time or later on
will probably come up at the next
meeting of the Republican Club IN
its headquarters In the Splitter build
ing Thursday night. While they
seem TO favor commission rule, it is
understood that leaders in the organ
ization are not in favor Of urging its
adoption here at this particular time.
1t is the general conclusion among
them that officers as they stood last
year now stand reelected for the
present year. There was not
quorum at hand when the annual
election was scheduled early in the
month, President Harry r. Wilson
stated today.
Mr.. Wilson Is one of the officials of
the club who declares himself in
favor of the commission form OF
government and believes that it will
ultimately come However, he does
not appear to be In favor of boosting
its adoption at this time. The reason.
while neither Mr.. Wilson nor any of
the other Republicans stated any, is
understood to be due TO the fact that
they look for victory here in the fall.
They believe that with four alder
manic positions being vacated by

ened the destruction of dozen large
hot houses containing all his young to-

be set out shortly.
Mr.. Macheski discovered the fire
shortly after he had finished dinner,
and found that the blaze was heading
toward his not houses, which were COW

and noticed the blazing woods and the
futile efforts of Mr.. Macheski to cope

No Water Available.
AS there was no water handy, the
fire was fought with shovels and sand.
Another method of fighting the flames
was the starting of other fires near the
hot houses and allowing them to burn
to meet those spreading from the woods
and underbrush. Fires were started ali
around the burning area and allowed
to eat their way into the woods. BY
thus clearing spaces about the scene Of
the flames the fire finally burned itself
out in four or five hours.
The woods in the vicinity are dry,

little rain has fallen, making the under
brush anG forests especially susceptible

the fire originated could not be
learned.
