J. w. Marsh, president of the
Standard Underground Cable Com
pany, who has been following care
fully the agitation for and against
granting his company permission to
lay siding along the east side OF
High street. north of Washington
street, in a statement just made,
gives his version of matters. He
points out that owing to the alb
the street no one would be incon-
venienced. With reference to the
suggestion of Alderman John j.
Clark that the company buy the
land from the city, Mr.. Marsh de-
clares that the ground has abso-
lutely no value to the city and could
not be sold to anyone without the
consent of the cable works, and pos
sibly not then.
Referring to the letters from AL
derman Clark, Joseph A. Seaman
Peter Williams and others that have
been published in the EVENING
NEWS, Mr.. Marsh says:
CLARK speaks of residents having
lived there before most of the fac
tories located there, but does he
mean by that that it would have been
better for Perth Amboy (and even
for those particular residents), If no
factories had ever come to Perth
Amboy? But what connection has
that with the siding permit? There
is not a single resident, l believe, on
High street between Washington
street and Buckingham avenue,
which latter is the end CT High
street, and certainly none on the
east side of High street. Further
more, if there were, what possible
harm could the extension of the sid
ing do to them, since it would be on
a portion of the sidewalk that is not
used by them or by anyone else and
is simply lying there as so much
waste and unused ground? On what
theory could it possibly harm any
widows and orphans since none live
on High street north of Washington,
and II there were such, there would
be no impairment of their property
by the proposed siding?
Question of Property
"Then Clark asks what the COM
pany would be willing to give the
city for this very valuable ground
and talks about it as though the
value of it would pay for a whole
lot of parks, Fairgrounds and bath
ing beaches. The ground. as anyone
knows, has absolutely no value to
the city, could not be sold to anyone
without our consent. or perhaps even
with it. and would have no value to
anyone except us if it could be sold;.
and for us it has some value merely
to enable us to create larger values
for the city by enabling us to handle
increased volume of business for
which we would spend a large sum
of money for new and improved
buildings, and which would benefit

SAYS BRANDON
CASE IS SCLOSED
No Evidence to Warrant Re-
prieve, Governor Says, in
Defending His Stand

Declaring that he had refused to
stop the execution of George Bran
don, who was put to death in the
electric chair at Trenton on August
23, because no evidence had been
submitted to him strong enough to
warrant a reprieve, Governor Ed
ward l. Edwards. yesttrday said
that there was no doubt whatever in
his mind thata Brandon was guilty of
the murder of Arthur Kupfer and
Edith fanny on August 22, 1918, and
that he would not have voted in ia
vor of pardon had the case been
held over ,or the next meeting of the
pardon board. After giving a BRIEF
outline of the evidence that came to
him. the Governor declared the case
closed. He would make no further
comment.
The statement by Governor Ed
wards was the result of newspapers
in Union county demanding an in
vestigation of the entire Brandon af-
fair and by charges made by Citi-
zens Union of New Jersey, that Bran
don was convicted on flimsy evidence
and that Governor Edwards had fail
ed in his duty by permitting the
execution to take place.

NO GAMBLING
IS PROMISED
"OId Home Week" Will Open
Today Under Auspices of
Firemen'S Association

The "Old Home Week" which
opens today in the lot opposite the
Central railroad station in outer
Smith street and will continue for
ten days under the auspices of the
Firemen's Memorial Association will
have no attractions which will vio-
late the gambling law, according to
a statement made today by Andre"
Anderson, chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the affair. A meet
ing of the association members was
held last night in the 'Boynton build
ing, at which time the question OF
conducting wheels of various sorts
at the carnival was discussed at
length, some .favoring violation OF
the law, while the majority decided
against defying the law. The con-
troversy for and against the wheels
resulted in an agreement being fl
nally reached, favoring the elimlna-
ton of all wheels of chance.
The celebration will be conducted
along clean lines, Chairman Ander-
son said this morning, and the com
mittee will see to it that nothing
occurs which would bring any dis
grace on the city.
Not to Defy Laws
He said that the association did
not wish to go on record as defying
the laws of the state, but pointed out
that 81 500 must be cleared in order
to pay the remainder due on the
burial plot and firemen's monument
for which the carnival was ar
ranged.
1.-THE committee has taken the
stand in favor of eliminating obJec-
tionable wheels from the celebration
The general feeling is that we
shouldn't go on record defying the
law of the state. BY so doing we
feel that il through this celebration
of ours we should fail to receive
enough money to carry out our
plans and it will be necessary again
to appeal to the public for dona-
tions, we will be able to accomplish
more than If we had gone ahead IN
defying the law" :.
The carnival has established itself
on the large field at the corner or
Smith and Elm streets all of yes
terday being devoted to the erection
of tents, booths and the usual
amusements. The finishing touches
were being added this morning such
as stringing the wires for the light
ing.
