Through arrangement with President J. K. Sheehy of the Board of Education, the schools will recess when the alarm Is sounded and will stay out until the plane has left. The "messages from the sky" will be printed on paper of three colors—red, white and blue. L , / Something of the Interest which the city has taken in the welcome home celebration was manifested last night at the boxing show Of the Lotos Club .when the campaign for funds got off to a premature, but highly suc cessful start by the collection of about <400 from the fans who were at the ring side. Tho official start will not take place until Monday morning, when the seaplane from Keyport will circle over th- city to distribute circu lars advertising the drive. From that time on things will pop and will come to a grand conclusion slightly af ter the real end of the drive, when the cops of the city give their mon ster, huge, glorious, stupendous, start ling hail in Palace hall on April 24. After a half hour's ringing eulogy of the boys on the other side from the silver tongue of Joseph Humphries, he of the stentorian vocal chords, fol lowed by a hearty appeal from John Pfeiffer, the boxing fane took the elastic off their rolls last night and dug down deep. Committeemen from the mayor's committee of welcome passed the hat and rather than be missed, a man, if they passed him up, yelled to put his contribution In the hats. xii lxib nvigui vi me txcucmeni, County Clerk B. M. Gannon got a loud, lingering shout when Mayor Dorsey announced that the county of ficial had contributed his check for ♦ 100. Joe McNulty, who manages the club and matches the fighters, chipped In twenty-five, which brought forth a vociferous round of applause. Johnny Slobodlen got a big hand from the crowd of fans when he sent up his check for fifty, and Bill Counihan, who manages the Strand and Majestic theatres chipped in fifty more and the crowd let him know they were with him. If you have a thing to be done and want it done well—Gall A Cop. The Patrolmen's Benevolent Asso ciation asked permission to give a ball to raise funds for the cause. They got the permission and started to work. They had 2,500 tickets print ed and they have sold 1,300 to date which means about $550 they have already to turn over. They haven't stopped selling the pasteboards, though and hope to dispose of the en tire block of 2,500 tickets and then have the printer rush some more out. They aren't worried over where the crowd will go. If Palace Hall gets packed to the rafters they’ll take over Washington hall, and If the overflow from that blocks Fayette street they’ll go out after another place. Expansive, that's them all over, folks. They have about six prizes—real ones—for dances and one big door prize already and they're out after more. Leawe It to the cops. They have ten pieces of the best jazz music that ever ripped discorant harmony out of wind or reed and the best of it is the jazz won’t cost them a jit ney. They’re the original clean up workers when they get started, those coppers and they sure are started on this dance. And why got They have several members of the force in the service right now—some of them in France and they carry with them the loving memory of the two best fellows on earth, who gave their beet to the fnifA t>i!« rtltv tJifilr liven to their country. The money given to those affairs though. Is not to take the place of a contribution, for when the team workers start their canvass they are going to take no excuses and won't leave till they have pinned a button on the coat of the contributor, show ing that they’re with the cause and backing it to their financial limit. The thrill that comes once In a lifetime will be felt fiere on Monday morning when the Aeromarine sea plane, carrying Lieut. W. V. Garret son of this city and C. J. Zimmer man n, test pilot for the Aeromarine company will fly from Keyport to this city and will circle about sending down a shower of the circulars. ' Warning of the plane's approach will be given by sounding the fire Alarm. FOB SALE—FORD 1 TON TRUCK SLIGHTLY USED FRANK VAR SYCKLE 1R1-15* New Rrnsjrwlrk Are.

GRAHAM, SECRETARY. *- * BROWN TO FIGHT BILL IN SENATE —"~r ■■ — Measure Aimed to Help Ameri canization Work is Vicious in SenatoiVEyes When Assembly Bill No. (3 by Mr. GdU comes up in the senate on Mon day or Tuesday, it is due for a thorough and hearty grilling at the hands of Senator Thomas Brown of this city, who characterised the mea sure this morning as vicious in the extreme. The senator will again speak in favor of the amended teach er’s pension bill, introduced by As semblyman Pierson, which comes up for third reading in the senate. The Gill measure, which is known as an Americanization bin, is the senator believes, splendid in certain of its points, but very bad in others. He cays that several factories in the county have appealed to him to use his (very effort to thwart its passage, as It would vitally affect a great num ber of foreign born workers here, refusing to them the right to work in the state. mbA Will t*% AAA AAAilnn that no person under the age of twen ty-one years shall be employed In the state unless he has passed the second grade or equivalent requirements. Those already employed are onl» par tially affected as they are allowed under the bill to remain employed for two years after the passage of the act, in which to gain the education sufficient to allow them to reach the requirements. Inspection of all industrial plants is allowed at all hours by inspectors of the state department of education and failure to allow these inspections is punishable by a fifty dollar fine. Any enjployer who knowingly has in his employ any person who does not reach the requirements of the act, will be subject to a fine of $100 for each day that such person is employed, the bill would allow. State school moneys that might be due will be held up if any board of education refuses to carry out sugges tions by the department, and from any city that has fifteen or more such persons, which does not establish such schools as may care for their ed ucation day or night the school moneys will be withheld. One of the last provisions is that any .person who sends a child between the ages of five or fifteen to a school where any language other than Eng lish is used as the medium of educa tion, shall be considered a disorderly person. Senator Brown spoke strongly In fa vor of the amendment of the Pierson 1 bill on Tuesday, which was intro duced by Senator Smith, Passaic, which would make the requirement to receive a pension, thirty-five years or service and not sixty years of age, as required by the original bill. The measure has passed in its amended form on first and second readings, In the senate and will come up for third reading and final passage on Monday, when it will go to the assembly for re consideration, if passed. I _ FOR MUNICIPAL HR HERE Board of Health to Confer With Aldermen on This Proposed Plan Calves crying, swine squealing, bo vines bellowing and other animals making all kinds of unbearable noises have caused such a storm of protest from residents in the section of the city contiguous to the slaughter house, that the Board of Health last night appointed a committee of two, consist ing of E. J. Dalton and E. Dllts to confer with the board of aldermen concerning the erection of a municipal slaughter house, so situated as not to cause undue annoyance to citizens of this city. The Board of Health some time ago ordered that no live stock of any kind be quartered In the slaughter house over night, but now animals, which are brought in from the surrounding country at the end of the day are kept In o utn K1» n A 4»<ni— » „ ~1 _ * pen. Innumerable complaints have been received from people stating that the noise created by the animals prevented them from securing sleep, thus proving a detriment to health. Members of the board engaged in considerable discussion concerning the child welfare work which recently started In this city by the state board of health in conjunction with the civics department of the'Woman's Club. It was thought that the work was a du plication of effort as the health board now has several nurses doing similar tasks in the city. It was revealed at the meeting that one of the city nurses was in house at the same time as the welfare nurse called. The board was given to understand that the state nurse would confine her activi ties to a certain prescribed district, so there would be no confliotio/i with the city nurses. It was moved that the secretary communicate with the state health department and ascer tain proposed plans so as to avert any misunderstandings. The matter of combining the board of health laboratory with that of the dty hospital was again considered last night and it was decided to confer with the board of trustees at the East Jersey Clubs at 9 o'clock Monday night. The question of establishing a clinic tor venereal diseases came to the at tention of the board at the meeting, rhis matter has been agitated by the government health service and been recommended as something which should be considered seriously by svery municipality. There Is at pres ent a clinic in the hospital for the treatment of tuberculosis and a clinic n the library for child welfare work. K. committee of three, comprised of Lk.

This matter has been under con sideration by tlie board for some time, for the last sanitary code was adopt ed In September. 1913, and since that time many alterations In health meth ods and health policies have taken place .which aro not provided for in the present code. Also there have been many ordinances passed by tho health board, which have not Keen In corporated in the code. It was decided to consult the city attorney on the matter of compiling a code and then to secure suggestions as to the most suitable metnous or procedure. This proposed plan will be a big project as It has to be passed favorably at throe readings and then be properly advertised. It was thought by the members of the board that experts on the various subjects .should be secured to assist in re writing the code and that some up to-date record should be consulted. Several amendments and new ordi nances concerning the plumbing sec tion of the code, which were Intro duced by Charles Damgaard, were passed last night upon the first and second readings. The changes fol low: "Before a house trap Is placed an extra heavy Y fitting must be put in before the house trap with a cleanout i ferrule of not less than four inches, said Y connection to be bricked in together with the trap and shall he readily accessible for Inspection and convenience In case of stoppage in sewer' line." "Water pipes from any plumbing fixture in any building shall be con nected with lead bend of water closet, or slop sink, but there must be a sep arate Y branch outlet left in the soil pipe for ail other plumbing fixtures.” "All vertical soil lines, pipes and lttings must bo of medium woight. Standard pipes not allowed." "Refrigerator waste pipes must be of galvanized Iron and be not less than 114 or 1% inches in diameter with pipe brandies to be at least one inch in diameter. They must dis charge over a properly water sup plied, trapped and vented sink. Fit tings must be galvanized drainage fit tings. Y branches to be used hori zontally and Y and T-Y branches on vertical line and connections taken rrom mere to reingeiuiui. "Before any person shall engage In business of journeyman plumber in the city of Perth Amboy, he shall furnish the Board of Health a certi ficate from a duly appointed board of examiners that he is qualified to be employed as a journeyman plurrfb cr in the city, said journeyman plumber to receive a journeyman plumber’s license from the secretary of the board, signed by the president and secretary of board, sum of $2 to be paid to the board for examination, and must be renewed annually, the sum of »1 shall be paid for renewal of license. A re-examination will not be necessary for re-registration or re newal of license unless the journey man plumber shall fail to apply for renewal before expired time which is dated on the license. The journey man plumbers must also register names and addresses.
