Chairman Bell explained that he

be bound TO consider what is logi-
cal designation TO give to the prop

merely for the purpose of making it
easier for the Federal Government to

asked Mr.. DriscolI if he believed it
would be logical to zone the plaza
property for detached homes only.
At the present time the plaza has no

A 7 CARTERET
Drops Unconscious Into Wa
ter When Head Strikes
Dock In Fall
2 DROWN AT KEYPoRT
Older Brother, Unable to
Swim, vainIy Trys to
Save Alfred Hubbard

Samuel Bayard, a lifelong
resident of Perth Amboy, where
he conducted a bathing beach
for many years, was drowned
early this afternoon at the Lie
big docks in Carteret.
The death of Bayard comes as
a shock to thousands who knew
him in this city. Having been a
lover Of the water all of his life,
opened Bayard bathing beach
many years ago, where he was
to be found at all hours Of the
day and night looking af tft ftur si' tii6 tii,3
safety of those who ventured out
In the water.
Although death was caused by
drowning, It was not because of the
lack of swimming ability. Bayard
was an excellent swimmer, a mem
ber of the National Life Saving
Corps and perfectly at home in and
around the water. His death was
caused by fall from a ladder or a
platform, his head striking the dock
or part of the ship as he fell about
20 feet into the water. 1t is thought
the blow rendered him unconscious
and he was unable to save himself
from drowning. His body was re-
covered a few minutes after the ac-
cident and held for the coroner Il.
view.
Bayard was about fifty-six years
old, having been born in Perth Am
boy the son of Anthony Bayard. an
oysterman. The old Bayard home
was in Water street, between Lewis
and High streets. He had two sis
ters, Agnes who married Thomas
Armstrong, former president of the
council of Philadelphia, and Georgi-
anna, who married Morgan Farratt.
Mrs. Armstrong died about thirty
years ago, but Mrs. Farratt is sti 4
living. A wife. Nellie. survives.
there being no children.
When boy Bayard was always to
be found along the waterfront and
as he grew older his love for water
sports and activities on the water
never waned. Althoug he worked
for short periods at various plants
In this city he would invariably take
charge of his bathing beach when
the summer days rolled around. He
often leased his beach to other par
ties who conducted the b; thing
house and refreshment business dur
ing the summer.
Bayard was state quarantine dep
uty and it was while performing his
duties as such an officer that he met
his death this morning. One of his
duties was to meet and board incom-
ing ships when they arrived in this
city and at the plants close to Perth
Amboy in order to inspect them and
to see that quarantine rules were
carried out.
Coroner Hay was notified or
Bayard's death and he left for Car
teret to view the remains. Mrs.
Bayard was notified of the fatality
by the local police.

French air ministry.
The first of the fiiers to land was
Captain Lowell H. Smith, looking
tired and smutty and covered with
perspiration. He was so affected by
the enthusiasm of his reception that
he was unable to reply to M. Eynac
except in monosyllables. The other
two aiers landed as quickly after

FAR FROM DEAD
STEVE CLAIMS
Not Killed Along Railroad
Was In Penna.-MyStery
Still UnSoIved

Steve Slovak, of 293 New Bruns-
wick avenue, is more alive than
dead. according to Steve himself,
when he put in appearance at his
home Saturday night. Steve had
been identified as the man found
between the tracks of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad near the New
Brunswick avenue freight station
early one morning last week. Pa
trolfnan Jorgensen Is said to have
been the one who identified the man
at the morgue of James J. Flynn in
East avenue, together with three
colored women, who reside in the
same house as Slovak. Arrange
ments were made for the funeral of
Steve by the Hod-cnrirers Union of
which he is a member and in ac-
cordance the man was given a de-
cent burial in the Alpine cemetery
Saturday.
When Steve arrived home Satur-
day night the colored women and
others began to rub their eyes. They
thought at first that Steve had been
resurrected from the dead but
when he explained that he was not
dead and had been on a visit IN
Pennsylvania they saw their mis-
take. Slovak, who 1t Is said was
much the worse for some hootch
that he had been 1mbibing, in his
own words said: mo go to He'll
yet, me go to Pennsylvania.
Slovak was away week and all
thought he was the man killed. His
door of his home was broken into
and everyone in the neighborhood
him as dead.

Local Bathing Beauty
HurIS Award Into Sea
Mrs. Alma Mann Says Judges
at Bradley Beach Were
Not Fair

The sensation of the Bradley
Beach bathing beauty contest on
Saturday before 10000 or more peo-
pie, was caused by Mrs. Alma Mann,
wife of DIR. J. ]. Mann, of 255 State
street, this city, who according to
reports from the seaside resort,
threw the fifth prize which was
awarded her, into the sea and in
tears declared to those in charge:
"You don't know how to judge q
bathing suit. I'll never come to
Bradley Beach again."
Efforts were made today to locate
Mrs. Mann at her home here, but
as she is still enjoying the sea breezes
at the resort, DR.. Mann consented to
tell the reporter what he knew of
the affair.
Mrs. Mann won the first prize last
year in the contest and had not in
tended to enter the show this sum-
mer. However, according to DR..
Mann, after much urging she. finally
consented to enter the contest and
for the occasion purchased striking
two-piece bathing suit at New York
City.
Prior to the awarding of the cups,
Mrs. Mann had been selected, for the
second prize, but when the awards
were made, she was called fifth. The
woman giving out the prizes re-
marked in loud voice as Mrs. Mann
was presented with her cup that the
creation she was wearing wasn't a
bathing suit at all. This in the ex-
cited condition of Mrs. Mann, ac-
cording to her husband, was more
than she could stand and turning to
the woman distributor of the prizes
remarked: "You don't know how to
Judge a bathing suit"
DR.. Mann admitted that his wife
told the woman some other things
also, but denied that Mrs. Mann
threw the cup away or created
scene as bad as some report. He de-
clared the trouble was caused by
the distributor remarking to his wife
that she didn't have on a bathing
suit.
The grand prize was awarded to
Miss Ruth Gregg, of Asbury Park
Miss Gregg wore a one piece red
bathing suit.

Is National Figure, They Con-
tend-Discuss Refusal to
Make Senate Run
MORE OF: HIM LATER
Will Be Heard From at Fu-
ture Democratic Conven-
TORS, 1t Is Thought
BY LEO j. LANNING

TRENTON, July IA. Although
the hopes of Governor Silzer's friends
were blasted in the Democratic ma
tional convention because of the geo
graphical necessities of the occasion
calling for the selection of a western
er to run with John w. Davis. there
is feeling that the executives day
in national affairs will yet come.
There is a possibility that in the
event of Democratic success in the
coming election of his being called to
Washington to fill cabinet post.
Having read himself out of this
this years United States senatorial
campaign, political observers see Mr..
Silzer looming up for the cabinet and
believe that in his comment here on
Friday that United States senators
usually fall to go higher, there was
the underlying thought that candi-
dates for President and vice presi-
dent must be picked in future ma
tional conventions and by keeping
out of the congressional political
graveyard" as the United States
senate Is sometimes described, the
executive Will continue to have ar
appeal as national standard bearer
in some future convention.
So far as the cabinet suggestion Ii
concerned, Mr.. Davis. IL elected this
fall could pay Mr.. Silzer a graceful
tribute by inviting him to the coun-
ell board of his administration. For
be it remembered 1t was the Presi-
Dental candidate himself who prac-
tically eliminated the governor from
the vice presidential nomination
when 1t was within the latters
grasp. Davis was thinking two can
didates from neighboring states
would not do. So the day may come
when the candidate can tender Mr.
Silzer place of honor and distinc-
ton as a reward for the latter s
elimination at New York.
II this speculation should some
day next March come true 1t would
give the governor the nationa,
prominence and opportunity to DEM
onstrate his fitness to be chosen for
even higher honors by his party in a
future year. But in any event, 1t is
observation here that the governor
believes that by keeping out of the
United States senate he would have
better chance for recognition of
the kind he sought at New York and
lost by narrow margin.
