LAST EDITION THREE CENTS Είί.'Λ iH New School Matter With State -Mrs. Sturm's Trial Next Week-UnJerhill Resigns Jol NOTES ON MANDATES BY U. S ^ UNDÉHlFSIGNS POLHB; CHANGE ; FOR WOMAN OFFICER 1 Patrolman Lester J. Underhill this morning: gave to Mayor William C. Wilson his resignation as a member of the local police force and then turned over to Chief of Police Niels J. Tonnesen his officer's parapherna lia. This action upon the part of the officer was anticipated about the police station and city hall as charges would again be preferred against him for violation of the rules in remaining off duty two days with out reporting off or giving any rea son for his absence. Underhill had been in trouble on several former oocasions which resulted in his be int given trials and hearings before the aldermen and fined, although he was reinstated on each instance. It is generally believed that this last offense would have resulted in his dismissal from the force had he not taken the action he did in re signing. No reason for his action is men tioned in his resignation which is dated yesterday and addressed to the mayor and the Board of Aldermen. It read: "Gentlemen: "I hereby tender my resignation ai ι member of the Perth Amboy police department, to take effect imme liately. "Yours respectfully, (Signed) TESTER J. UNDERHILL." The resignation of Underhill leaves two vac :ncies on the force, the al dermen ^having dismissed Edward J. Morgan, another patrolman, about two weeks ago as the result of ser ious charges against him. When questioned-this morning as to the likelihood of a woman police Çîan being named shortly, Mayor Wilson said he could not say defi nitely when such an appointment Would be made but asserted that when another addition is made to the forfe it will be a woman officer. The mayor intimated that no ap pointments would be made at once. He said that as soon as conditions warrant the appointment of such a woman officer and the finances of the city permit of same, he will take action. It will be a difficult matter, he added, to select a woman who :omes up to the physical and practi al requirements. ΒΓΝΓΗISMHT BY JUDGE DM Issued for Defendants and Witnesses in Two Criminal Cases in County Court. I By Evening News Staff Correspondent.] NEW BRUNSWICK, April 6: — Bench warrants were issued by Judge Peter F. Daly this morning4 for defendants and witnesses in two criminal cases who failed to appear in court for cases scheduled to be heard today. This action resulted after a defendant in one of the three cases scheduled for today pleaded guilty and the defendants and wit nesses in the other cases failed to appear, which resulted in the jury men having nothing to do. A warrant was issued for Mrs. Anastasia Holud, of Perth Amboy, and several witnesses in this case and they will be held in jail until the state is through with them. Alex Holud, husband of the woman, and also a defendant in the case, in which they are charged with em bezzling $1,800, was in court, as was their attorney, George Kemeny. Kemeny claimed the woman recent ly was opei^ated on. and could not travel. He said he had a doctor s certificate from Dr. Meinzer. Assist ant Prosecutor John E. Toolan told the court that the woman was seen on the street yesterday. The court ordered that the woman be picked up and examined by Dr. Ramsay to find «if this condition is true. The husband's bail was raised from $3.000 to $2,000 but was returned to the original amount after Attorney Kemeny had made a successful plea. Samuel Gladstein, of Perth Am boy, and three witnesses in a case in which the former is charged with assault and battery, will also be ar rested on bench warrants. John Delaney, representing the man, was in court and stated the defendant is In Jersey City. Officers from the sheriff's office will be on his trail, however, and he together with the three witnesses will be picked up md lodged in jail until the state is through with their cases. Pleads Guilty Konstanty Roskowski, of New Brunswick, one of the defendants in three casea scheduled to come be fore the court on the opening day of the April session today, changed his plea from not guilty to one of guilty to an indictment charging the sale of intoxicating liquors, and a fine of • $1,000 was imposed. He was order ed committed until the fine is paid. Bobshaw Chapie, the second defend ant in this case, was discharged af ter the indictment against him was nolle prossed on a movement by Assistant Prosecutor Toolan.

State Laws on Finance Make Bonds Impossible, j Owing: lo the lack of available ι finances in this city, making: the erection of a new school or an addi tion to the h:gh school impossible I at the present time, the Hoard of I School Estimate at a meeting yes terday afternoon decided to take up with State Commissioner of Edu cation Enright the matter of financ ing the proposed projects and if this means fails to make an appeal to the state legislature. The meeting was held in the of fice of Mayor William C. Wilsqn and was attended by the cntirfe school estimate body, including President John Iv. Sheehy, of the Board of Education; Victor W. Main, chairman of the school board building committee: Alderman John Sotield and Alderman-at-I-argc John N. Wester. The school board requested fi nancial aid from the city sufficient to pay for the construction of the Hall avenue school (or at least I part of it, leaving the top floor not completed) and also for a six room J wing to be added to the high school. The financial situation in the city i was explained by Alderman-at- ! Large Wester and Mayor Wilson and it was generally admitted that it would be impossible to go ahead with the Hfc'l avenue school at this time. It was agreed that the high school addition should be authorized i if the finances could possibly , obtained. The laws on the matter of financ ing school additions aJid new con struction work are conflictinig it being the belief of the aldermanic members of the school estimate board that the city's net debt can not go over seven per cent. The debt at present is 6.72 per cent., giv ing the city a small leeway which would not be sufficient to finance the school building program. A motion was finally made and carried that the secretary of the school estimate boa/t. the city at torney and the city comptroller go to Trenton at once and take up with State Commissioner of^ Education Enright, the matter of financing the proposed building propositions. The city is willing to go ahead with this worfr if a means of legally financing the work can be pointed out to it. Mr. Webster said. If the conference with School Commissioner Enright fails to rem edy matter* the legislature will be appealed to. According to Mayor Wilson, the city's hands are tied by state finance laws at present and arc in no position to authorize a bond ! issue to cover the cost of construc ! tion. ♦ The proposed building work must be financed either by bond issue or by placing the amount in the city budget, and as the latter would mean a big jump in the city's taxes, the former method is considered the ! only logical one. EX EMPEROR'S TRIP DELAYED VIENNA, April 6:—Five hours delay in the journey of the former emperor to Austria on his way back to Switzerland after his futile at tempt to regain the throne, was caused by the holding up of his train at Frohnleiten, just to the south of Bruck, in lower Austria, because of threatened demonstration against the ex-monarch by the workingmen. Several thousand men from indus trial towns in the region gathered at Bruck and declared they would not let the ex-emperor pass until they told him what they thought about him. The burgomaster stopped the train by teiephone message from Frohn leiten, while efforts were made by entente representatives and others to dissuade the working men from their purpose. The workers resent ed all pleas, but the crowd was final- ! ly dispersed early today. REV. WILBERT WESTCOTT AT NEWARK CONFERENCE Rev.

Si H BS Rush of Stockholders at An nual Meeting Today. Move for Adjournment Fails. [By The Associate·! Press.] JERSEY CITY. April 6:—When the long awaited annual meeting of the American Smelting & Refining Company opened today for election of a new board of directors, such a. large crowd of stockholders appear ed that the regular meeting place was too small to accommodate them. An adjournment was taken to St. Peter's hall. The unusual attendance resulted from interest growing out of charges made by Carl Eilers, a former vice president, that the Guggenheim brothers in their management had operated the company "for their own benefit." The (Juggenheims denied the allegation and recently asked former President Taft to investigate the company's affairs and render a judicial decision. He accepted pend ing approval of the annual meeting. Shortly after the meeting opened Jf. B. Leary, a holder of preferred stock, and represented as a friend of the Eilers' faction, moved the meeting be adjourned until the first Wednesday in October. He also ask ed that a searching investigation into the company's affairs bo made. The motion was declared out <>f order by the presiding officer, F. H. Brownell. Le&ry charged that the company was dominated by the Guggenheim fam ily who are slightly interested as they have large conflicting interests in other companies. "Five members of the family have been on the payroll at different times, and contracts for .-ale of cop per, had been transferred to the Guggenheims without compensa- j tion," ho said. The company lost millions of dol lars annually, because of thr method j adopted by tho Guggenheims, he said. Mr. Brownell in moving the reso lution out of order, said he had j been directed to state that the près- ( ent officers would stand for the en- ] suing year. He explained that part | of the resolution could be acted | upon. An appeal was made from Mr. Brownell's ruling but he was sus tained by a stock vote. After being in session more than ί an hour, th** meeting was adjourned 1 until 3 o'clock this afternoon before, voting on the new board of direc- ! tor?. The stock vote sustaining the chairman's ruling was later an- I nounced as 602,000 share« for the j Guggenheim interest and 202,000 shares for the Eilers faction.

April 6.—Arguments on an order to show cause why an injunction should not ho issued re - straining: New York representatives from entering into a port treaty with New Jersey was postponed for one week by Supreme Court Justice Delahanty. Requests for the postponement made by Deputy Attorney Conk lin, was opposed by the Assistant Corpor ation Counsel Mayer. In granting the adjournment .Justice Delahanty declared the corporation counsel's office has of late been opposing every bit of legislation coming out of the capital at Albany. "The corporation counsel is try ing to argue these matters in the courts, not along the proper rules, and I want to announce that i am not going to be a party to it." Referring to the veto of the joint port bill, by Governor Edwards of New Jersey, last night, Mr. Mayer rleciared the legislature of that state was so overwhelmingly against the governor, that they would pas5·· the bill over his veto, either tonight or tonic rro \y. Mr. Mayer said the bill would sur render the sovereignty of New York state to the New Jersey legislature, and would deprive the board of the power of New York city. TRENTON, April 6.—Governor Edwards has vetoed the two bills relating to the development of the Port of New York. The first meas ure he declared would bind New Jersey forever to a compact or agreement with New York state in the development plans and he char acterized this as a dangerous propo sition. "New Jersey may find itself in an unsatisfactory, unhappy and unprofitable marriage, from which it may not be easily released," sta ted the veto message in part. The New Jersey area included within the port development scheme under the terms of the bill vetoed, included Summit, New Jersey on the west and New Brunswick and Atlantic Highlands on the south. ït would run on the north to Piermont, Ν. Y. and to Jamaica, J^ong Island, on the east. ion bill, senate No. 1185, which des ignated the three persons to be on the Port Authority Commission. lie declared that the senate and House are acting presumptuously in taking ι the position that he would not select competent men for this commission, lie also pointed out that those named in the bill to serve, all re side outside (»f the territory to be j developed in the port plan. The two greatest cities jn the state, Newark and Jersey City, both in the port district, would not be represented, Mr. Edward s said. The governor has signed the Franklin bill which creates a state real estate commission to license realty brookc-rs; the L.oori bill pro viding a pension for county detec tives; the Blair bill prohibiting hun ters of wild deer from carrying guns of smaller calibre than twleve gauge. Executive approval has also been given the Will presented by Assem blyman Kldridge, of Union, which is aimed at the crime wave, it gives the Board of Chosen Freeholders the right to offer a reward of $500 fôr the arrest of persons charged with murder, burglary and robbery, when the prosecutor should request the offering of such a reward and the presiding supreme court justice approve* / / Action Ιο be Taken Hon·.

According to Secretary Bergen ο the Chamber of <Commerce during the past few weeks has been m or· or less in the dark regarding tin proceedings of the port development as it lias never been notified whei hearings or conferences on the mat ter were to be held and so was noi represented at them.

[By Tho Associated Press.] LONDON, April 6.—The great in dustrial crisis with which Great Britain was faced as the result of a bitter wage war between mine own ers and miners, with strikes by the railwaymen and transport workers in addition to miners strike has found temporary relief. At the eleventh hour Mr. Lloyd George in tervened with an invitation to both sides of the miners disputes to meet representatives of the government and re-open negotiations. After serious deliberation contend ing forces decided to accept the of* fer. · No time has been set for the re opening of the discussion, but the acceptance of the invitation, it is pointed out, can be taken only tc mean the colleagues of miners.in the triple alliance—the railroad men and transport workers—will take no ac tive measures to support miners while negotiations are proceding. LONDON, April 6.—Decision t< support the British miners in their strike was reached by the transport workers federation at a meeting held today. The vote taken by the transport workers was unanimously in favor of lending aid to the miners. It was de· I elded to meet in conference wit)* delegations of the national union o1 railway men and the miners' union 1 for the purpose of securing action or the strike situation by the "tripl· alliance." The prime minister's letter called attention to his speech in the h jus< of commons "with regard to tho de· sirabllity of negotiations being re sumed" and concluded: "I desire to repeat that the gov ernment tenders tho use of its good offices for the purpose of bringing the party together." The British national transport workers federation includes most oi > the waterside workers unions to . gether with unions catering for sea men, carters, cabmen and some fen· , eral labor unions or a part of their ( membership. In 1019 the federation had a membership of 313,000 work" ; ers. With unions which are afflllat ' ed with the federation the total wim i ber of persons affected by tho deci sion is about 500.000. WANT OLD BRIDGE REMOVED , WHEN NEW ONE IS READ) Efforts will be made by the Chamber of Commerce to have the , present bridge over the Raritan riv , er between this city and South Am· [ boy removed as soon as the new - state bridge is completed. Accord ing to information given out by th€ , .State Highway Commission at va , rions hearings concerning the pro posed structure, the present bridge would remain standing until 1927 even though the new bridge is com plf 'od in 1925. The Chamber of Commerce is muc h against the idea of letting the M present structure remain for any I time at all after the new bridge is completed, and will urge that the old bridge be removed as soon as the new one Is finished so that it will not prove a menace to naviga tion. It is likely some definite ac tion will be taken In this matter at the meeting of the directors on Wednesday eight. RUSH FOR BONUS CONTINUES AWAIT MORE MATERIA! So groat has been the demand for ι he application f«>r the New Jersey State bonus, that the state commis sion has run out of blanks and will not be a bio to issue any until the printer at Trenton gets out a new supply. When the American Legion re-opened its bonus office in the Board of Trade building here last nitrht. it was thought ttiat a fresh supply would be coming, as prom ised, from Trenton today, but their failure to appear means another delay locally in filling out the ap pications The Legion post here, is ready at all times to handle the activity, but must wait for mate rial from Trenton. Last night the last of the blanks were tilled out and the office will not be opened until further word is heard from Trenton. It is hoped, however, that tomorrow will see enough blanks here to take care of the remainder of the ex-service men of the city who have yet to make application. Paernts of nearest relatives tf deceased soldiers who died while in the service may also obta'n the bonus by filling out the special blanks which have been prepared.
