CENTRAL LABOR
UNION URGES A
TOWNJÉETING
Resolution Is Adopted Call
ing for Railroad Facilities
and a Park.
WOULD DISCUSS THE
- CITY'S GREAT NEEDS
Committee Is Named to Pre
sent Resolution to Board
of Aldermen.
A rousing meeting of the Perth
Amboy Federation of Labor, other
wise known as the Central Labor
Union, was held last night and the
subject of improving conditions in
this city were again taken up. As
evidence of earnestness and sincer
ity in their efforts the federation
passed a resolution that will be pre
sented to th& Board of Aldermen
Monday night, concluding with a sug
gestion tBat a town meeting be held.
The resolution mentions that
Perth Amboy Is seriously handi
capped in development by poor rail
road service that makes it difficult
and Inconvenient for the people liv
ing in neighboring cities to reach
this natural shopping centre. It
complains that railroads send their
express trains thundering through
here at great speed, thus toeing of
extensive bqgeflt to neighboring and
competing clU«a and denying this
city the privilege and accommoda
tions afforded to other places.
It Is further set forth that the
railroad stations of this city would
not-be tolerated by most small vil
lages, therefore they appeal to the
' city fathers to insist and demand
that railroad· cease discrimination
against this city and be made to
stop all passenger trains running
through.
The federation recently took steps
to further the park ymtesltion and,
embodied in the resolution passed
last night, is a clause putting the
organization on record again as de
manding that the city be provided
with an adequate park.
In conclusion the resolution sets
forth that the labor men recommend
that a town meeting be held in order
to give residents an opporUialty -for
full and free discussion «ί crying
needs of the city, such as public
parks, proper transportation, eto.
A committee was named to attend
the meeting of the Board of Alder
men Monday night to present the res
olution and explatn it.
The laws of the organization were
passed. Efforts are on foot to hav«
all labor organizations on the soutl
side of the Rarltan river from Boutb
Amboy westward to New Brunswick
join the federation.
H. L. Blchelberger, a representa
tive of the American Federation ol
Labor, and International· President
Frank Bbtterworth, of the Terrj
"Cotta Workers' Alliance, spoke.
The election of officers will be held

Copenhagen, Dec. IS:—No verdict
by the committee examining Dr.
Cook's polar data ia expected before
the end of next week.
The committee presented to thè
Copenhagen consistory today a pre
liminary report ooverlng the first
stage of the Investigation. The com
mittee worked several hours on the
preliminary Investigation and It Is
authoritatively stated that a decision
against Cook's claims Is foreshad
owed by the early reports. A decid
ed change In the former favorable at
titude toward Cook Is declared «Vi
dent.
ït 'seems "thai the university commit
tee has been put in possession of the
observations which August Wedel
Loose, a sea captain and expert navi
gator, swears he faked In New York
to bolster Cook's claim that he reached
the north pole.
The ligures in Captalq Loose's "ob
servations" and those submitted by Dr.
Cook agree literally, tlgure for figure.
Several Danish officials from Ureen
Iand are here, and the university com
mittee has cross examined them as to
Dr. Cook's statements to them when
he met them returning, as he claimed,
from the north pole. It is reported that
their statements do not agree with
those made by Dr. Cook. '

MAYOR WORKS
FOR LOW RATE
.«♦ f
Understood That Through
His Efforts Public Service
Give Cheaper Light
OPEN BIDS MONDAY
The Public Service Corpocatlon
doubtless will be the only bidder for
the lighting of the city streets when
the hide are opened by the Board ot
Aldermen Monday night. At present
the city le paying the Public Service
$96 per light.
It is understood that the new bid
while somewhat less than the pre
sent contract, was to have beer
larger than most cities are paying
but through the efforts of Mayoi
Bollschweller a substantial reduc·
tlon has been secured and there li
reason to believe that when the bldi
are opened Monday night It will bi
found that Perth Amboy will be of
fered a price considerably less thai
the present rate.
It Is said that the Public Servici
was inclined to charge this city ι
little higher rate than most plaoei
are paying owing to the fact tha
they were forced to buy out anothe:
concern here and- there wbb an In
cllnatlon to make the people pay fo
this. Mayor Bollschweller, however
made three trips to Newark. In th<
Interest of the city and It Is declare<
that largely through his efforts th<
bid will be considerably stnalle
than wae at first Intended.
If the expectations are realize*
the Public Service will probably b
awarded the contract at the meetlni
of the aldermen Mpnday night.

Blaze in a Barn-- the
Supposed Cause.
In anewering an alarm of Are from
box 83 at Amboy avenue and Wash
ington street about 5:45 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, Eagle Hose and
Chemical Company met with an acci
dent at Smith and Prospect streets
which came near killing one of their
horses and wrecking the apparatus.
The Eagles' hose wagon, driven by
Daniel Ford, came down Smith street
at full speed and was about to turn
Into Prospect street when the driver
saw a wagon, as well as a boy who
was crossing the street, would be
struck unless he took Immediate ac
tion.
As the horees were going loo fast
to be stopped. Ford, risking hie own
life and that of his team, drove up
on the sidewalk on the northeast
corner. One of the horses fell and
the spectators thought that the acci
dent would result seriously but the
driver, team and truck escaped In
Jury. The prompt act averted a col
lision with the wagon and perhaps
spared the life of the boy who was
crossing the street.
The Eagles were able to proceed
to the fire, which proved to be In a
small shed used as a barn In the rear
of 430 Washington street, and owned
by Joseph Jeffrey, a grocer. The
alarm was turned in by Patrolman
Hanson and the damage was esti
mated by the police at $50.
The blaze Is believed to have been
caused by children playing with
matches.

FEATURES AT THE
AFTERNOON SESSION
Illustrated Address by J. P.
Haney a Rare Treat
Other Events.
Although yesterday was the first
time that the Middlesex Teacherr
Institute has been held In this city
It was the general opinion of every
one connected with It that It wtus
the best institute that has ever been
held In this county and, in view of
this fact, it is highly probable that
the session next year will also be
held here. There was not a hitch la
the arrangements and the teacher·
agreed that the accommodation·
were better than ever before. The
speakers were conceded to be among
the best ever heard at a county in
stitute and they were authorities in
their respective branches.
Tliank People of This City.
At the close of the exercises yes
terday afternoon the following reso
lutions were offered by Superinten
dent W. C. Armstrong, of New
Brunswick, who sat In a box at the
right side of the theatre:
"RESOLVED that the thanks of
the teachers of Middlesex County be
tendered to Superintendent Shi)]}
and his assistante and to the_ Board
of Education for the .eatfèlient ar
rangements made foï the institute
and for the convenience and pleas
ure for those who are In attendance.
"RESOLVED that our apprecia
tion and rompllments be tendered
to,the members of the high school
orchestra for their music and that
we hereby express our thanks and
appreciation to the ladles of the
Simpson Methodist church for the
bountiful provision made by them
for the teachers."
Chairman Willis, after-the resolu
tion had been seconded, called for
a vote, which was unanimously in
the affirmative.
Mr. Haut-y Delighted AH.
The feature of the afternoon ses
sion was the appearance of James P.
Haney, B. Sc., director of -art and
manual training In the New York
city schools, who gave two very- In
teresting illustrated lectures on the
méthode of teaching manual arts In
the primary and grammar grades.
The afternoon session began at 2
o'clock, following the organization
of a county branch of the Teachers*
Retirement Fund. —
Mr. Shull, after a few opening ré
marks, Introduced Mr. Haney. He
apoke on primary drawing, illustra
tions in colors, flowers, groups of
objects, winter scenes, Illustrated
action pictures, massing In, etc., dur—,
ing his first lecture which was chief
ly for the primary teachers. On a
large -easel Mr. Haney Illustrated In
detail his methods with chalk and
the rapidity and accuracy with which
lie drew was surprising. His second
lecture was on drawing in tlie higher
grades for Ihe benefit of- the gram
mar grades' teachers. Designing,
drawing from models, professional
work, sketching, etc., were all care
fully explained on the easel. Mr.
Haney beeides being an artist with
the chalk proved (hat he was an
able orator and although he had ex
pected to conclude at 4 o'clock gave
an example of "Imagery," which
lasted until 4:30. Imagery, he ex
plained whs drawing from a mind
picture, and he said he would at
tempt to reproduce a scene In Sicily,
near Messina, which he had placed
in Ills sketch book while touring
that country not long ago. Mr.
Haney In eloquent terms, after des
rlbing » little village clinging to the
ide of a cliff, -λ tth Mt. Etna show
ug in the distance and the sunshine
lighting up the fields In the valley,
took up his chalk and In a very short
time placed the picture on the easel
so that every detail of his descrip
tion was in view. The scene wae so
well drawn that Ihe audience ex
pressed approval ijj prolonged ap
plause.
After the exercises the picture was
carefully rolled up by some high
school pupils, under direction of
Miss Vaughan and will probably be
framed and hung In the auditorium.
During the intermission between
the two lectures the high school or
chestra played a selection. They
were so loudly applauded that they
rave an encore.
