CITY NOT 'DRY REPORT SALOON DOING BUSINESS Although more than the usual pre cautions were taken by liquor deal ers yesterday It was not Impossible to purchase an lntoxicanting drink in this city yesterday. Announce ment by the police last week that the lid would be pressed on tight, emanating from the grand jury, car ried some weight, but nevertheless it was not an alltogethere "dry" Sun day for Perth Amboy. The police reported one screen violation which Indicated there was Sunday selling and it is evident that there was Il legal selling on at least three of the principal streets. Recorder Henry W. Kelioe stated today it was queer that with saloons in the city closed there should be found more drunken men than usuai seen on a Sunday. He gave It as his belief that this was either due to the fact that so many went to Tot tenville to satisfy their thirst and re- i inained there until they had about all aboard they could carry, or because men did get to some places in this where ther couiu procure drink and, taking no chances on not getting enough for the day, kept drinking until they could swallow no more. Mr. Kchoe says he saw several drunken men. There were two arrests yesterday afternoon and one early last night for drunkeness. John Mincer and Steve Simko, of Woodbridge, were taken into custody in this city when found drunk after having run a horse and wagon into an automobile. Mike feelesky, forty-seven years old, of 414 Smith street, was arrested by Patrolman Calvin about 7 o'clock 'ast night. He was found staggering against pedestrians on Smith Htreet ond when arraigned before Recorder Kehoe this morning he was fined $2. Patrolman Quinlan reported that screens were not properly raised on the Washington street side of the saloon at the southwesterly corner of High and Washington streets yes terday. He saw men go in and out of the place during the afternoon, as to indicate that business was being done, but he was unable to procure convicting evidence. He reported to headquarters, that each time he went to a gate leading to the side of the premises he found It locked and he could not get in. Chief of Police Burke Issued an order today that the saloonkeeper be notified to appear In police court at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning for an examination. He will be charged with violation of that section of the excise laws pertaining to proper ex posure of bars in saloons, for not raising or lowing curtains so as to permit a view of the bar from the street. Patrolmen on other beats about the city reported bar rooms properly exposed and the excise laws duly ob served yesterday as far as they could see. Acting Mayor Garretson states that he received com plaints about excise violat75tT3" -yes terday. Up to a late hour this af ternoon he had not conferred with Chief of Police Burke on the subject. Rumors afloat to the c.Teci tnat the prosecutor had a squad of detec tives getting evidence against Sun day sellers here yesterday caused nuch anxiety among sojae of the saloon keepers. The reports gained ivide circulation last night and by this morning some dealers with seem ngly guilty consciences wree running ibout to seek information on the sub ject. One even called at police head juarters early this morning to learn f it was true evidence was secured igainst law breakers yesterday. DID NOT OBEY BAKERJHHOT Escapes Death as Bullet Glances Off a Rib. Failure to open a window rapidly enough to suit the desires of Jacob and Joseph Stern almost caused David Caplan, a baker, of New York city, to be shot to death in S. Stern's "0. X. O." bakery at 628 Amboy avenue last night. When the vic tim swore out warrants for the Stern brothers this morning he told Re corder Kehoe and the police that Joseph Stern had first hit him »n the head with a piece of wood and that Jacob Stern afterwards shot him in the left side and arm. The bullet struck one of the ribs a glancing blow and caused a painful skin wound. It struck but a few inches below the heart. The elbow was burned with powder. Says He Had No Argument. Caplan told the police he had no argument with his assailants. Tho reason given for the attack is that one of them is alleged to be addict ed to drink and was probably drunk when the attack was made. Chief Burke stated he believed one of the drivers had a permit to carry a re volver for self protection while cov ering routes early in the morning. The story told by Caplan is that as he was mixing dough Joseph Stern was on the outside and called to him to open a window. As he did not respond quickly enough to satis fy Stern, he avers the latter picked up a heavy piece of wood and began to batter in the window. About the same time Caplan was starting to open the window and received a blow at the left side of his forehead. Ballet Struck a Rib. Later as he was leaning over a tub he was shot by Jacob Stern, Joseph's brother, he claims. Upon quick ex amination it was thought the bullet had entered his body just below and a little to the left of the heart. The police made an examination in the court room and said the wound in dicated the bullet had struck a rib and glanced off. There were powder marks about the left side and left arm. The warrants were given to Detec tive Sergeant Long for service. The case will probably be heard at 7 o'clock tonight. Jacob Stern's defense for shooting Caplan is that he only did so after Caplan had attacked his brother, Jo seph, with a pen knife, he Btates. Some interesting details are expected to be divulged at the hearing. An effort will be made to have Jacob Stsrns' permit to carry firearms re voked, if he ha« one. Prearf> Rally Day Sermon. Rev.

About Ex to th JB Tlie cosT" numercg'ty t/Mjmlt ments of; insane personsI > this \ city to the State Hospital for the Insane at Trenton, which has been a much discussed subject at alderinanic committee meetings .'or the past few months, resolved itself into a hot wordy battle between Alderman F. A. Seaman and City Physician M. S. Meinzer at police headquarters this morning. The alderman contended Inhere were altogether too many or dinary drunkards being sent away at a cost of $75 each to the city, who might be attended here and the city thus relieved of the expense. The physician maintained that there were no adequate means to handle luna tics here, whether they be violently' Insane persons who remained in such a condition indefinitely, or man suf fering from delimlum tremens, who might only be ailing for a brief per iod. Mr. seaman's attack upon the city physician occurred in the doorway of police headquarters, a few minutes after the doctor had examined Frank Schunt, flfty-flve years old, of Maur er, and decided him insane and a subject for the state hospital. The man Is believed to be ailing from ex cessive drink and it is Just such pa tients that the aldermen object to having sent away. They want them attendee! to in some Isolation hospital or the like, for they are not admitted to general hospitals. Doctors de clare there i3 no other way than to send them to Trenton. Dr. Meinzer said today .1 was impossible to keep them In an Isolation hospital for male nurses could not be hired for almost any amount of money to watch them. Both he and the police declare insane persons cannot be kept long at po lice headquarters. They declare! Schunt will be sent away today or ! early tomorrow, otherwise he will I probably die there, for he has three broken ribs as the result of a fall down stairs during his ravings and he has refused to eat or drink since he was put in the padded cell, about 9 o'clock Saturday night. Dr. Ramsay, who has generally been the city physician's assistant in committing insane persons to the: state hospital was bitter in his de-; nunciations of Mr. Seamau this af-l ternoon for critislzing the action of doctor«. He maintained there was | nothing else to do but send lunatics away. He said more than one per son had died as the result of neglect, In being kept too long at police head quarters here. The cost for each person sent to the state hospital averages $7 5. Kach physician gets $25 of that amount, $20 1s the usual cost charged by the city marshal and C. IA. Sexton for automobile hire and $5 !or $10 for an assistant and incident als. WILSON WILL START ON TOUR SOUTHWARD Special by United Press Wire.

METUCHEN GLUB ROW OVER WITHDRAWAL OF PRENTISS FROM RAGE Special to the EVEN INC} NEWS. , Metuchen, Oct. 14:—-Charging ■ertain members of the New Jersey 3tat,e Executive Committee of the Progressive party with having 'bossed" Mark O. Prentiss, of Me :uchen, into withdrawing as a con gressional candidate in the third dis trict iu favor of Benjamin F. S. Brown, of Matawan, the regularly nominated candidate of the Repub lican, Harold T. Edgar, Charles A. Bloomfleld and other members of the Rarltan Roosevelt Club created a sensation in the town generally and In third party circles particularly Saturday night by demanding the re call of President Dinwiddle and the board of governors of nine men. When the news came out by way of Newark Inst, week that Prentiss was out of the race and had with drawn In the interests of harmony Progressives here and In the county of Middlesex immediately went up in' the air. Bloomfleld and Edgar charged (hat Ex-governor Fort, George L. Record and Edmund E. Os borne had made a "deal" whereby the Progressive party had lost and the Republican party had gained. Bloomfleld says he called Everett Colby on the telephone and demand ed an explanation and that Colby had told him he knew very life about the matter except that some body at a meeting of the state exe cutive committee had stated that "it was the unanimous and official opin ion of the board of governors ol' the Raritan Roosevelt Club tliat Pren tiss was a weak candidate and should get off." With this statement in mind the investigation continued, it is alleged, and it was found that Prentiss wanted to make a no money campaign, that he was not, as had been stated previous to his nomina tion, in a position to obtain financial or other aid from the Progressive National Committee, that he had not lived long in the district and was therefore a "weak" candidate in the eyes of state headquarters. Governors Questioned. Various members of the board of governors of the Raritan Roosevelt Club were Interrogated as to their part in the arrangement whereby one of their fellow board members and active club workers had been forced to withdraw by the state committee on the ground that the club consid ered him a weak candidate. The Raritan Roosevelt Club up to the present time one of the most flourishing T. R. clubs in the state is constituted on thoroughly progress ive lines. It is ruled by a board of nine governors who in turn select a president of the board and the board has power in an advisory capacity only. By a provision of the by-laws any governor can be recalled any time by vote of the club. A meeting of the board had been scheduled for Saturday night in the club rooms on Main street.
