Rev. Percy R. Ferris in the Bapth
Parents to Assist the Author
—Declares them a Thousam
Incidents Mentioned.
i
- <
Before beginning his sermon in the
Baptist church, last night, Rev. Ferov
R. Ferris made a few remarks about
r.he dance halls in Perth Amboy and
the movement now on foot to have
them closed. Mr. Ferris severely
arraigned them and urged fathers and
mothers to do all in their power to
assist in having them closed.
Several incidents wore mentioned in
which lives had been rained by fre
quenting these halls. The preacher
commended the stand taken by Chief
of Police Burke in the matter. He
said that the people should speak to
him and let him know that they
approve his stand. Mayor Seaman
also oamo in for a great deal of com
mendation in the matter. Mr. Ferris
was very much in earnest. He called
tho dance halls a hell on earth and
told how those never intending to do
wrong, were lead astray. He said
the saloons were bad enough but the
dnnco halls were a thousand times
worse.

15 Williard Place,
It was a happy day for “Old Jack"
the bridgeman, in the employ of the
Staten Island ferry company at Totten
ville, yeBterdav afternoon, when
Charles M. Schwab,the steel magnate
passed through this city and across
the ferry to Tottenville, on his wav
to New York, for “Jack” received a
crisp 45 bill from Mr. Schwab.
The latter, with a party of four,
were in an automobile. They had
come from Philadelphia, and were
going to New York by the Staten
Island ronte.
When the auto was ready to leave
the ferry boat on the Tottenville
side, “Old Jack” was there to open
the gate. Mr. Schwab noticed him,
and, seeing the bridgeman’s old
gloves, the millionaire said:
“Is that the best pair of gloves yon
have, old man?”
“Jaca” replied that it was, for he
did net have the price of a better
pair. Thereupon Mr. Schwab un
buttoned his big fur overcoat and
palled oat a roll of bills. Selecting a
nice new green one with a big “V”
on it, he gave it to “Jack,” telling
him to go and get a new pair of
gloves. As quick as a flash the auto
gave a snort and was off the boat and
up the hill on the way to New York.
“Old Jack,” who is one of the old
est employes with the ferry company,
is acquainted with many of the mill
ionaires who pass through-Perth-nlcr*
boy to Tottenville on their trips to
New York.
Mr.Schwab was at Pleasant Plains
a few davB ago. His automobile broke
down and while he was at the hotel,
he scattered five dollar bills to all the
help and upon leaving gave $5 to
“blow the crowd.”
