generally by adopting the name OF

The tragedy struck Chicago with a

and ambulances there were not
enough vehicles to take the dead and

Police from outlying districts

grounds at Michigan City for the

cancelled.

The order is returnable Monday morn

SEIZE STRIKERS
GUNS IN BAY0NNE
Rifles, Bayonets and Ammu-
milton Found by PoIice-No
Militia Aid as Yet.


Bayonne, July 24:-Detectives
under the leadership of Lieutenant
John Rigney raided the Bayonne
strikers headquarters In Mydosh s
Hall, Twenty-frst street and Avenue
F, at 1 a. m. today and found fifty
new Springfield rifles and thirty-five
sword bayonets.
While the strikers remained quiet
for about sixteen hours up to the at
tack on the sheriff, 1t was clear that
their spirit was bitter and that they
swere ready at any possible opportunity
to commit violence.
The strikers were bitter because it
was pay day and they did not get
their money. The company refused to
permit the men to enter the yards and
get the money. Arrangements were
made to help those in need. Two rep
resentatives of the department OF la
Dor. John n. MofPitt and James A.
Smyth, had a conference with the city
officials and the company officers, with
a view of settling the strike. Further
conferences are being held today.

ACTION IS TAKEN TO
HALT TUBERCULOSIS
Facilities Offered by Freehold
ers for Care of County Pa
tents at White Haven.

Facilities are now offered by the
Board of Freeholders for the care Of
tuberculosis patients and already one
application has been made from
Perth Amboy for admission to the
sanitarium at White Haven, Pa.
The local health authorities have
been In communication with the
Board of FreehoIders a number of
time, urging them TO establish
county hospital for the care of those
afflicted with tubercular trouble.
Although the freeholders at one time
made an appropriation for the estab-
lishment of a hospital, this plant
never matured, chiefly as the result
of objections of New Brunswick res
idents who feared pollution of that
city's water supply.
Health Officer Willsey, however,
was in touch with Freeholder Alfred
T. Kerr recently, and he was inform
ed that the freeholders had made
provision to care for tuberculosis
cases by sending patients to the
White Haven hospital. The health
board is now in possession of infq
nation in regard to making applika-
ton for entrance, ETC., and 1t is like
ly that a number will be sent in
shortly.
The health department. although
carrying on an efficient system of
public health nursing, has felt great
ly handicapped by the lack of isola-
ton facilities for these patients.
In order to become an inmate of
the White Haven institution 1t is
necessary to obtain a statement of a
physician as to the condition of the
patient, and his ability to make pay
ment for care and treatment while
at the hospital The freeholders
may contract for the care of sufferers
so those who are unable to pay for
their treatment will be cared for
without cost.

BAPTIST OUTING IS IS
GREATLY ENJOYED
Many Go Up the Hudson River
to Bear Mountain and Have
Most Enjoyable Trip.

Over an hour past the scheduled
time, the steamer Sirius, with over
a thousand happy excursionists on
board, docked here last night, thus
bringing to an end an outing that
was declared to be the most success
full ever held under the auspices of
the Baptist Sunday schools of this
vicinity.
The delightful sail up the Hud-
son to Bear Mountain consumed
about five hours. When the stop was
made at this resort, the greater num-
Der of pleasure seekers climbed hap
PLY up the mountainside to the Bear
lake. This resort, under the state
control, offers its attractions free to
excursionists, so the "kiddies' had a
fine time on the swings and many
others took out boats ON the pictur-
esque lake. The scenery at this
point is very attractive, and the
Perth Amboyans were delighted with
the pleasure spot. About an hour
and twenty minutes was spent at
Bear Lake, and then the Sirius
started on it's home bound journey.
The weather favored the passengers
all day, and the clearness of the at
mosphere offered a fine view of the
beautiful Palisades along the wind
ing Hudson
The Ladies' Aid Society of the
church looked after catering on
board, and many of the e0cursionists
purchased their tasty sandwiches and
bought ice cream and candy In fact
the sale was so great that everything
in this line was sold out before the
steamer docked at night. Mrs. H.
P. Ward, president of the Ladies
Aid Society, was in charge of this de-
partment.
Mrs. Clarence Wright's Sunday
school class attended to the sale of
novelties, and these, too, were soon
disposed of. The church trustees
looked after the disposal of soft
drinks, and they also proved to be
good statesmen.
The Baptist Sunday schools of
Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Totten-
vile and Metuchen, combined to
make the excursion the great sue
cess that 1t was. The excursion
committee of the local church con-
sisted of Mark r. Leffler, Joseph F.
Walker, John E. Bernard, Henry
Koch, C. w. Sheath and other Off
GERS of the Sunday school.

Serious Thing to Call Militia.

Special By United Press Wire
Trenton. July 24.-"It is a very
serious thing to call out the militia, :"
said Governor Fielder yesterday in
discussing the Bayonne strike situa-
ton. I'm the first place 1t is neces-
sary to declare martial law in the
city This means the closing of not
only the saloons, but every business
place in the city, all butcher shops,
grocery store and similar establish
ments.
Then there is always the very
serious danger that when the militia
arrive the foreign element will be-
come excited and finally their actions
may become such that the guards
men, their patience exhausted and
tired of firing in the air, might fire
into the crowd and God knows what
the result might be. -.-.........
Another very important thing to
consider is that it ought to be a
pretty serious situation before you
call away thousand or two thous-
and men from their homes and busf-
ness and ask them to do what the To-
cal authorities failed to do, and no.
body likes to do riot duty. So that
when you have to call out the militia
it has got to be pretty grave sit
uation."
