the Navy Daniels today conversed
with President Wilson aboard the

The secretary told the President all
about the plans for his reception in

the George Washington saying that
his voice had been heard perfectly
and that all was going well aboard

Hush, listen! A drunk was auafgn-

assurances of Chef of Police Ed Ario
are to be relied upon. Henry Evans of
Amboy was, arrested on the street last
night. apparently having imDued too
deeply of Adams ale, Or something
stronger.
When Evans was arrested a bottle
of bond whiskey was found in mis-

so much of a curiosity in the city
now that the officers examined it
caiefully.
The name of the dealer to whom it
bai been sold was on the bond and it
