BOARD SEEMS
HARD JO FIND.
Somelof the Hotels in Tottenville
said to be Crowded and no
Room for'Strike Breakers.
AT PRIVATE HOUSES.
The trouble between the union men
and non union employes of the Atlan
tic Terra Gotta works is oreatinK
much public attention in Tottenville.
Some of the hotels are not boarding
the non union men saying that they
have no room left, while others en
tertain the men and have the ill will
of the strikers. It is said that one of
the Tottenville hotels was asked to
prepare for twenty men, but the pro
prietors stated they would be unable
to serve them.
Many of tha men are now seeking
board in private families.
It is stated by one in authority at
the terra ootta works that the factory
has enough men to get out all neces
sary work and that the plant is run
ning as if there^was no strike. They
are filling up the shop with non-union
men and with some of those who will
not go out on strike. The new oomers
are mostly from New York.
BOATMEN I* WRANGLE. ?
'
Policeman McDermott was Assisted by Ed
ward Boyle in Making Arrest.
Thomas Patten, well known to the
police, and two boatmen, Frank Ben
nett and Barny Eagen, got into a
wrangle and were vigorously fighting
each other near the foot of Fayette
street this morning when Officer Mc
Dermott oame along and spoiled their
fun by placing all under arrest. As
he did this the two boatmen got away
and would have made good their
escape had it not been for Edward
Boyle who happened to be going by on
his wheel about that time.
Mr. Boyle, at the request of Mc
Dermott, rode after the fleeing boat
men and caught them as they were
making their way down Front street.
He got off his wheel as he approached
the men and held both until Officer
McDermott oame up and handcuffed
the two together. The rest was then
comparatively easy and all three were
landed safely in the lockup. They
may be given a hearing late this after
noon on a charge of drunk and dis
orderly.

CONTRACTOR'S
CONVENTION.
Local Builders Return from New
ark where State Meeting was
H?ld to Discuss Union.
WILL SOOiTORGANIZE.
Meeting Yesterday was Only fo hear the
Opinions of Builders on the Question of
thorough Organization? All Seemed to
Favor it? National Pody to Follow?
State was Represented.
The looal contractors, who went
from this city yesterday to attend the
first meeting of the contracting bosses
from all over the State of New Jersey,
retnrned last night feeling that the
convention was successful. The meet
ing was called so that the bosses could
get together and eaoh one express his
idea about the effort now on foot to
establish a State Organization of the
different building and contracting
firms of New Jersey. Nothing definite
was decided at the meeting but every
one present seemed to be of the opinion
that it would be a first class idea.
The object of the organization is to
give the contractors an equal footing
with their employes in time of diffi
culties. Before the meeting was
closed "a temporary secretary and
chairman were elected, and it was
decided to hold another State meeting
very soon, at a date to be set later.
If the State organization is formed it
shortly becjmes a part of the national
association. In nearly every State in
the east meetings of builders, similar
to that held in Newark yesterday, are
being held and it is expected that
many State associations will be form
ed. The delegates from these will
attend a convention, "national in clAT*
acter, which will knit altogether.
The convention in Newark yester
day was attended by builders from all
the leading cities in the State. Ac
cording to reports they were all en
thusiastic in the idea and it is expect
ed that the plan will be a great
success.

RELIEF FUND
BEING RAISED.
Young Mens Hebrew Association
Takes Action for the Relief of
Kishenev Jews.
WOULD COLLECT $100.
A Gen ral Fund is being Made up from all
Sections of the Country and it is Hoped
this will Reach $I00,000-Perth Ani
boy Interestsd? Money can be Sent to
Local Committee.
At the last regular meeting of the
Young Men's Hebrew Association,
held in their rooms in the Adelaide
building, 138 Smith street, it was de
oided to raise a relief fund among
the people of Perth Amboy to be add
ed to the eeneral fnnd, which is now
being collected all over the United
States for the relief of the Hebrews
of Kishenev, Russia, where great
outrages have recently been com
mitted.
The following committee has been
appointed to take charge of the work :
A. Marcus, Philip ?orak and A.
Frankel. Mr. Marcus is the treasurer
of the committee and any person who
feels disposed to help the fund along
may do so by sending a check or
money to him. When the money is
all collected it will be added to the
great general fund of $30,000 which
has already been colleoted. It is
hoped to make it at least $100,000 be
fore it is sent to the relief.
The subject was discussed at the
meeting of the Young Men's Associa
tion and they felt that Perth Amboy
should assist in the work of raising
money as well as other cities. It
was thought that no organization was
tioUnr equipped to undertake the work
than themselves and aocordinglv the
committee was appointed. The mem
bers are very modest in their desires
and now fix their hopes upon raising
$100.
The cause for which this money is
being raised is well known through
out the world. The press of all
countries has been filled with the
deeds perpetrated upon an innocent
people. The Russians, of the Greek
church, were celebrating and their
hilarity reached such an extent that
they rushed through the streets kill
ing and torturing the Hebrews in the
most horrible manner.
SCARED PASSENGERS

offioer McDermott this morning for
jumping on the Lehigh Valley cars.
Yesterday it was reported at police
headquarters that the boy had caused
no little commotion among the passen
gers when he jumped aboard the
passenger train. They thought surely
he would be killed.

WATCHMEN ON
VALLEY BOATS.
Lehigh Company Determined to
Keep Walking Delegates Away
from Engineers.
ALL TUCS 'WORKING.
Although the Marine Benevolent
Association will not admit that the
strike among the tug boat engineers
is over it seems to be so, especially in
this city. The Lehigh Valley Rail
road now has all its tngs at work and,
according to all reports, they mean to
keep them going.
It is said a special man is aboard
every tug to act as watchman. He
has strict orders to allow no one
aboard without a permit. When the
strike among the tug boat engineers
was first declared all of the local Le
high Vallev tugs were tied up, but
gradually they were put in commis
sion until all were going. The walk
ing delegate of the union could not
understand it, but when they came to
this oity in an effort to get non-union
engineers to quit their jobs, they
found they were not able to get any
where near the boats on account of
the watchmen. The only thing they
could do was to get the engineers
when they came ashore, and that is
very seldom. Many non-union engi
neers are willing to take jobs with
the Lehigh Valley Railroad because
the pay is good and the work steady.

MORE BAD CHECKS
WERE PASSED HERE.
Story of McWilliams' Arrest Yes
terday Led to Other
Cases
Another warrant was sworn out for
the arrest of John McWilliams this
morning ff-r passing a worthless check
of $16. The man who made the com
plaint read the account as Drinted in
vefiterday's News and lie recognized
the name as the same as the one on a
worthless check which passed into
his hands last February. The check
was resurrected and when it was ex
hibited at police headquarters this
morning the color of the paper and
the handwriting resembled one M. S.
Goldberger received the other day.
An effort will be made to have the
man put under arrest before he sails
from Boynton's dock, where his boat
was moored.

Special to the Evening News.
New Brunswick, May 21 ? The Board
of Freeholders met at New Brunswick
yesterday as a Committee of the
Whole and heard disoussion for two
hoars as to the best site for the Sooth
Amboy approach to the new bridge
across the Raritan. The board will
decide at a meeting to be held next
Wednesday as to '.he site to be selected.
Mrs. Cornelia Foaratt was repre
sented by George S. Silzer while Alan
Benny, of Jersey Oity, a reared for
the Wolff site. Three petitions were m
presented by Mr. Benny for the Wolff
site. They were signed by 100 persona
of Sayreville and vioinity asking that
this be the site ns it was more bene
ficial for the purposes desired. Form
er Freeholder De Graw presented a
petition signed by 400 residents of
South Amboy favoring the Foaratt
approach as the one of greatest benefit
to them. Mr. Benny said his signers
represented half a million dollars
worth of property including the Sayre
& Fisher brio* firm. He argaed that
the report of Bridge Engineer MoGann
showed that the Wolff approach would
cost |16,000 less than the other, that
his was over high ground and the
Fouratt mostly over marshy ground.
Henry Wolff spoke for his own site
and said the selection of his land
would save the oounty $30,000 and he
would give them a 60-foot roadway.
John J. Qaaid favored the Wolff rite.
Mr. De Graw deolared the Fouratt
approach the better and that the entire
cost of building on either approaoh
would not exoeed $150,000.
Freeholder Allgair thought the
Wolff site ih^^etter? would
permit- of tiff
straighter and shorter. He s^pfeested ~
that the Board get the actual cost of
both approaches and then deoide.
Lawyer Silzer presented an argument
for the Fouratt approaoh. The selec
tion of the Wolff site would necessi
tate the passing of the Fouratt land
to get out of Savreville. He stood
ready, he said, to give a bond for one
who guaranteed to build the entire
approach on the Fouratt site for
$15,000 without competition.
The Fouratt approaoh had been
approved by Road Commissioner Budd
and this would permit the county of
getting one-third pay from the State
for the road on the approaoh. Mr.
Silzer declared, it Mb opinion, the
Wolff approach could not be reached
without going over the Fouratt bulk
head line and this would oause diffi
culty.
Judge Hicks, who represented Mr.
Wolff, urged the selection of the
approaoh costing the least. The ques
tion to be considered was the saving
of money.
