THOMAS BROWNS BIG FISH
STUFFED; NOT MOUNTED

When Thomas Brown, of Water
street, hauled in a 22-pound striped
bass at Allenhurst about midnight
last night he had visions of having
it stuffed and mounted to adorn the
den of his home as Lroof of his fish,
ing ability. He therefore handled
the fish very carefully and brought
1t home without disturbing 1t more
than was necessary.
Arriving at his home here he told
Mrs. Brown of his fine catch and
told her to be sure and tell Hattie,
the cook, to be unusually careful of
the prize fish as he was going to
have IL stuffed. The cooks transla-
ton of the word stuffed" was pure
ly culinary, she being ignorant of
the word as term in taxidermy and
as a result Mr.. Brown. upon arising
this morning, found the prize fish
very carefully scaled prior to the
cook doing the stuffing herself. Now
Mr.. Brown must force himself to en-
Joy a meal and take himself off 20
the fishing grounds again to snare
another "walloper" for souvenir pur-
poses.
The next time Mr., Brown will
probably say that he wants the fish
mounted" as he believes this Is a
safe term, there being no possibility
of his being misunderstood as vas
his stuffed" expression.

VANDALISM IN
PARKS Of CITY
Much Damage Done While
Board is STRIVING to
Beautify the City

Considerable vandalism has taken
place at the various parks through
out the city, 1t was reported at the
last meeting of the park commits
sion.
Superintendent rooker reported
that plants. trees ana flowers In the
various parks were being destroyed
by children, but the most damage
was done at Bay View Park during
the last week. Some time ago the
drinking fountain at tnat place was
broken and part of It carried away.
This was replaced and last week
the fountain was again destroyed.
"It seems a shams that just when
the city is making every effort to
beautify the parks anT have somc-
thing to be proud of, this vandalism
takes place." President Sosin ex-
plains. The matter has been report
ed and the local police, and arrests
are looked for in a short time.
Superintendent Tooker also re-
ported that Kearny Park was put
in condition last week, the ground
leveled and large flower bed plac-
ed there. At Washington Park a
large hedge will be planted next
week all along the New Brunswick
avenue side. The superintendent is
now carrying on work of trimming
and cutting trees at the parks

A party from this city composed of

terday afternoon and hired launch
at the beach. They report having

GUT IN FORCE
ON CROSSINGS
Elimination Activities De-
CreaSed-Work at Somer-
viIIe-No Agreement

Activities on the grade crossing
elimination have shown a marked
decrease during the past two days,
and instead of the large gang of
thirty or more men working about
the bridge at the Central station,
only a small number of men are at
work today. Many of the men for
merly here have been recalled to do
work on the elimination at Somer-
vile, and it is said the railroad is en-
deavoring to make one gang of men
do the work in both places.
From a reliable source today 1t
was learned that the hold up in ac-
tivities is probably due to the fact
that no working agreement has as
yet been signed between the Central
and Pennsylvania railroad. whereby
these two roads will combine in their
work on the excavation of the Penn
sylvania property which lies west of
the Central railroad and which Is to
be used in the elimination work, for
the laying of two additional tracks.
thus making a four track line
through this city.
The authority for the above also
declared that in spite of the claim of
the railroad company that the work
had been held up by the city In the
delay in the installation OF the new
trunk line sewer, that the real delay
was due to technicality in the sign
ing of the agreement between the
two railroads and that as far as the
city Is concerned work on the exca-
walton could have begun long ago
had the railroads been so inclined.
1t Is also pointed out that only re-
Gently the Central railroad began
negotiations with the Raritan Cop
per Works for a section of the ath-
letic grounds that will be needed in
the elimination work, whereas these
negotiations could have been started
months ago. There seems to be an
opinion about the city that unless
the railroads show more activity that
the city will be torn up by the rail-
road for some time to come.
Business men in the vicinity of the
Central station point to the fact that
it is necessary that the bridges for
Smith street and Market street be
erected as soon as it Is possible to do
so, as they figure business in that
immediate vicinity will suffer as long
as traffic Is compelled to use the
temporary bridge over thes tracks al
the Central station.
The opinion has been freely ex-
pressed about the cit. that the Pub
lie Utility Commission should be
kept informed of the progress of the
work here, and IL there is hold
up in an agreement between the
railroad companies that some action
should be taken to force the COM
panies to start and bring the work
to an end as soon as possible in
order that the city may resume its
normal business activities.

CONF FERENCES.
.FORLAFOLLETTE
National Executive Body of
His Campaign Is Called
Together Today

WASHINGTON, July rs. - The
national executive committee or the
JaFolIette presidential campaign was
called together for its first meeting
here today. Ten men and women,
to whom the Wisconsin senator yes
terday delegated practically complete
authority to marshall the organiza-
tion of his supporters, cope with the
technical details of his nationwide
candidacy and finance brisk CAM
paign, were summoned for the meet
ing which promised to be prolonged.
Representative John NJ. Nelson of
Wisconsin, the national campaign
manager and chairman of the COM
mittee, was asked to come from Chi
cago to preside at the session.
The committee was authorized to
Introduce measure sof discipline in
10 the LaFollette campaign, though
strict political party organization
was avoided. Among its principal
problems of this kind were questions
affecting the selection of presidential
electors and endorsement of candi-
dates seeking to run with the general
LaFollette Endorsement for offices In
several states.
Labor organizations identified
with the movement have been the
most active thus far in raising funds
and the new committee is expected
to name treasurer and stabilize this
work. Alexander Kahn. publisher of
q Jewish newspaper in New York
City. has taken over the task of ap-
pealing to the needle trade unions,
while the national officials of the
railroad unions concerned have Cir
cularized their locals for money.
Substantial amounts are reckoned on
from these sources, to be supple
mented by more general appeal at
the direction of the committee.

MARSHAL STEVENS
 DEVELOPS PROPERTY
 ON LITTLE ELDORADO

U. s. Marshal Stevens of Fairbanks who spent several days in Seward the forepart of the week, is doing consid- erable development work on his prop erty on Little Eldorado creek, where considerable new machinery has been installed. MT. Stevens and associates have about 180,000 square feet of bed rock blocked out, and a cleanup was made the first of this week, the amount not having yet been reported.
 The company has adopted new method of mining and one which so far has been very successful. Powder is used to shoot down the coarse mari, it being placed the same as rock. This method is much faster than thaWing and breaks the ground up more, mak ing for easier loading. MT. Stevens is now working on a small conveyor which will load directly into the cars at the face of the drift, eliminating all shoveling the machine being run by compressed air.
 It is estimated that the property owned by Mr Stevens has several mil lion dollars in pay, and he is jubilans over the prospects Ct quick retu E.
