This ac tion was taken by the aldermen fol lowing receipt of a copy of a reso lution jjassed by the Board of School Estimate at a special meeting held Thursday afternoon in which that body set upon $80,000 *s the amount necessary to complete this work. This matter has been hanging Are for severaT months, the Board of Education having endeavored to se cure from the city sufficient funds t3 erect a new school in addition to the high school extension. The Board of School Estimate, however, failed to authorize the building of the new school .giving as its reason lack of sufficient funds and means of raising the necessary amount for the new building. New School Wanted The School Estimate Board has favored the high school from the early part of the year, but the school board has continued to re quest that body for the new school as well. Finally it was decided that one new school would be better than none and the dead-lock was broken. The school board will hold a meet ing Monday night at which time bids on the new high school addition will be received. The plans have been drawn by J. Noble Pierson & Son, and upon completion the local school will be among the largest in the state. To Build on North Side The new addition will be con structed on the north side of the present building and will correspond »with the south wing, built several years ago. The new addition will be fifty-eight by seventy-four feet and two stories high. The interior of the new addition will differ con siderably from the Interior of the south wing. The new addition will be built on the same level as the original school, thus doing away with the stairway which connects the south wing with the main building. There will be lour class rooms In the new addition and in addition a large room on the first floor fifty four by thirty feet to be used for do mestic science, a similar room on the second floor to be used as school library, a nurse’s room on the second floor and a teachers’ room on the first floor. To Add Sixty Rooms The basement will be of sufficient lizc to permit of a large class room ,vhich can be used for prevocational training, being fitted up if needed, l'he fireproof addition will be heat ed and ventilated by the multiple unit system. Upon completion the building will have sixty rooms, forty of which will be closs rooms. The city comptroller was last night instructed by the aldermen to advertise for bids for the sale and removal of the city sheds now sit uated on the property on which the new addition will bo erected. The successful bidder must remove these sheds within ten days after the con tract is awarded. STATE HEADS PRAISE LORAL FARMERS' MARKET (0^1 Perth Amboy’s farmers market ’ was highly commented upon today by Alexis L. Clark, chief of the Bu reau of Markets, of the Department of Agriculture, who was a member of the inspection party from the de partment of agriculture which visit ed the various markets of the state today. „ Chief Clark and others in the party were not very enthusiastic over the fact that the city allows a huck sters market in connection with the farmers market, even though the two markets aro separated by New Brunswick avenue. The city repre sentatives pointed out, however, that by doing this they maintained the market all the year round. The in spection party was surprised to learn that 200 farmers and forty hucksters sell produce in the market. The inspection party consisted of Alexis D. Clark, chief of the bureau of markets; Secretary Barridale of the State Chamber of Commerce; Mrs. John L. Douglass of Orange, an official of the New Jersey League of Woman Voters; Mrs. M. Gross, Mrs. Lillian Barclay, also members of the League of Woman Voters; Mr. Scholl of Burlington, Mrs. Sherbourne, re porter of the bureau of markets, and Kenneth Hankinson. organization specialist of the bureau of markets.

Buckley, of this city, who have been drawn on the petit jury during the September term, are not very enthusiastic over their sec tions for this duty. Both Mrs. Greenbaum and Mrs. Buckley de clare that, although they will serve, they do not think that jury duty is a woman’s job. Miss Lillian Gillis. the third woman of this city named for duty during the term has moved to Brooklyn and cannot be called upon to serve. Mrs. Greenbaum, who resides at 177 High street, when seen today said: "I do not think jury service Is a woman’s job," Mrs. Greenbaum de clared. "Men know more about such matters than women and are better qualified to serve. In my opinion those women who were so anxious to have the privilege of the ballot should consistently assume a share of the burden of government. Per sonally. I was not very desirous of the voting privilege, but now that I have it I am willing to do what I can since there seems to be no escape.

OB SYSTEM City Engineer Larson Ex plains Work to be Done in North Section of City City Engineer Morgan F. Larson last night outlined to the Board of Aldermen a plan whereby a sewer system for the northern part of the city might be installed early next year, thus affording relief to this section from which continual com plaints have been received for years owing to the lack of proper drainage and sewage pipe. After hearing the engineer outline his plan and con sulting the city map in order to com prehend just how the plan would benefit that section of the city the aldermen passed a motion authoriz ing the engineer to go ahead with these plans. The section which will be benefit ted by the new sewer system will be that lying east of Amboy avenue, north of Bruck street and south of Inslee street. The engineer also pointed out how a sewer could bo run up Eagle avenue, across the city park property to Myrtle street, thence to Amboy avenue, remedying oxisting conditions of stagnant water found about Eagle avenue and Myr tle street. Another sewer unit, ex tending along Krochmally avenue taking in the streets west of the cemetery, is included in the engi neer’s plans. auuu xiww Mr Larson told the aldermen that the city cannot build a combined sewer in which both surface water and house sewage might be carried off. it being prohibited by state law. He said that it would cost less, however, to lay two separate sewers, one for the surface water and the other to take care of the houses, than it would to lay a combined sewer pipe. The various pipes would Join a large main going across Garretson avenue .emptying into a septic tank from which the solids will be removed, after which the water will pass off into Crane creek. The use of the sepiic tank in remov ing the solids from the water will make it unnecessary to continue the (ewer pipe to Staten Island sound. When asked for an estimate of the cost of putting the system Into effect Mr. Larson said he thought the initial cost would be between $75,000 and $100,000. He did not explain exactly what streets -this amount would cover, but it was generally understood to include the section between Bruck street and Ir.slee street. AMERICAN ARMAMENT DELEGATES ARE NAMED WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—The American delegates to the confer ence on limitation of armament, as announced by President Harding will be Secretary Hughes, Elihu Hoot, Senator I,odge. of Massachusetts, and Senator Underwood, of Alabama.

Mrs. Green baum replied that she believed that some lawyers would be able to move their feminine juries momentarily, but that when the time came for the decision the women would be able to give calm and clear judgments at least equal to verdicts returned by men. "I think many women are cap able of considering such matters from more than one angle, even more capable than men,” Mrs. Greenbaum continued, and ended her statement by reiterating her willingness to serve, even though not particularly anxious for the chance. Mrs. Buckley Speaks. Mrs. Buckley, who lives at 219 New Brunswick avenue, when re quested for her views of women serving on juries said: "Public affairs should be left to the men, but as long as I have been j called upon I will do my duty, al- j though I think that woman’s place] is with her duties at home. I am not a strong advocate of women vot ing and think that all these things should be left to the men. I do not think women serving on juries will prove very successful.” -Chief Tonnesen Found Wheel Operating in Violation of the Law Chief of Police Niels J. Tonnesen la c night interfered with the opera tion of wheels of chance and other gambling devices for the third time this week when he visited the carni val grounds and put a stop to a wheel found to be operating In vio lation of the law. The device in question consisted of an arrow revolving upon a ful crum over a board upon which were located a number of nails. Various prizes were attached to the nails and the stopping point of the arrow determined the winner. The chief maintained that the players had no control over the spinning wheel and therefore the contrivance was in violation of the law. The operators of the contrivance were ordered to cease their activi ties and warned that further infrac tion would lead to their arrest and prosecution. Will Receive Vote for Election of the Justice Court Judges GENEVA, Sept. 10. (By The As sociated Press).—Elihu Root, the American jurist will receive the un animous vote of the South American delegates to the League of Nations assembly when the election of judges for the permanent international court of justice is held Wednesday next. Many of them also favor Mr. Root as chief justice of the court. They expressed confidence that he will accept the post when he sees the unanimity of the demand that he serve, and plans for his election are going forward on this theory. Former enemy states made their first appearance in the debate of the present assembly of the League of Nations when County Albert Mens dorff-Pouilly-Dietrichstein, the Aus trian delegate, took the floor today to speak on the work of the council of the league.

J. PROVES HE GIVE MONEY TO WIFE No Question if Money Was Raised in Gambling, Re corder Rules IN THE FRANKE CASE Recorder Throws Case Out, After Lecturing Wife of Returned War Hero The fact that a wife may think her husband secured his money gambling is no excuse for her re fusing to accept it from him when he offers it to her and the family is in dire need, of it, according to the opinion of Recorder Harold E. Pick ersgill, who this morning heard the charges made by Mrs. Catherine Franke, of 452 Hall avenue, against her husband, John Franke. Mrs, Franke charged her husband with deserting her and her two children and failing to support her and the children properly. The charge was thrown out by the recorder after the evidence in the case had been heard, Recorder Pickersgill reprimanding the wife for the manner in which she had treated her hu&band, who is an overseas veteran who was gassed and wounded while in action and as a result incapable of doing any heavy manual labor. The wife claimed Franke had re fused to support her and the children and had not given her enough to pay the grocery, gas and furniture bills and had left her last night. She was represented by Leo Goldberger. The husband was represented by David Wilentz. Gnvc Her $10.00 The defense brought out the fact that Franke had given his wife $19 since the carnival came to Perth Am boy. he having earned the money at that place. She admitted having ac cepted the money. Franke also man tained that he had offered his wife $10 which he had earned on a recent coat excursion but his wife had re fused to accept. In answer to the query of why she did not take the money from her husband when she was in such great need for it, Mrs. Franke replied that it was because she thought her husband had made it gambling. Mr. Wilentz offered to submit proof that the money was honestly earned but this was not re quired. Recorder Pickersgill upon learning of the woman’s refusal tp accept the $10 ruled that her suspecting her husband of gambling was no excuse for her refusing the money when he offered it to her. He spoke of Franke's war record, pointed out his inability to do hard work but his willingness to do lighter tasks and discharged the defendant. It was brought out during the testimony that Franke had been to Counselor Wilentz recently in order to do the work of washing his car so as to make a little money. Hear Another Case The case brought by Mrs. Mary O'Brien, of 439 Hall avenue, against her husband, William O’Brien, also alleging non-support, was not push ed, since after hearing the previous case Mrs. O’Brien relented and agreed to give her husband another chance to support her. It evas brought out that the two cases were very similar in nature. O'Brien has been out of work for some months and has employed every effort to obtain work without success. Mrs. O’Brien admitted that her husband gave her money when he earned it by doing odd jobs. Recorder Pickersgill dismissed the case after advising the principals to ’’kiss and make up."

Transfer Bus Alone Will Run on That Street--AII Others on Smith Street Anntbpi* V»u*a armnirpment will ho given a try-out here commencing Monday, as the result of a new idea conceived by Alderman Albert O. Waters, chairman of the aldermanic bus committee. The various bus owners were present at the meeting of the aldermen last night and all expressed their willingness to try out the new system, being satisfied with its prospects. State street merchants who have asked for bus service, are satisfied with the new arrangement. Alderman Waters told the board, and the Smith street business men also favor the new plan. In addition to these persons being willing that the new plan be given a try-out it | is claimed that there are many resl ' dents w ho w'ill benefit by the bus I service who heretofore have not had the buses go through their section. The plan as worked out by Aider man Waters will go into effect next week and will be tried out. If found successful after a fair trial it will be maintained. Otherwise the pres ent system will be reverted to. No Direct State St. Buses All of the buses leaving the city over the South Amboy, New Bruns wick and Woodbridge routes will now go directly out Smith street, in stead of every other one continuing on State street as has been the cus tom of late and these same buses upon coming into the city will go over their original routes taking them down Smith street, direct to the terminal without touching any part j of State street. In order to supply buses for those desiring to go along State street, there will be a bus to meet each in coming bus. Transfers will be given to anyone desiring one, without an additional charge and patrons so de siring can then come into the city by w'ay of State street instead of Smith street, if they so wish. To Issue Transfers All incoming buses from Metuchen and New Brunswick will be met at the corner of Laurie street and New Brunswick avenue by a bus to which passengers wishing to go over th( State street route will be transferred All Incoming buses from the north Including Woodbridge and Roosevenf will stop at Laurie street and Am boy avenue to transfer passengers desirous of going to State street over the new route. These buses carrying the transfer passengers will meet every incoming bus. doing away with any delay on the part of passengers in waiting for the bus to pick them up. The route covered by these buses having transfer passengers will be east on Laurie street to Penn street, to Washington street, to East ave nue, to Broad street, to State street, to Smith street and the ferry. These buses travel over the reverse ol this route in going back to their stations at Laurie street and New Brunswick avenue or Laurie street and Amboy avenue. This new sys tem gives residents along Laurie St. Penn street, Washington street and East avenue service where they have had none before. To Hun on Schedule. The buses will be compelled tc run on scheduled time so that every incoming bus will be met at the places designated by the transfer car. Incoming buses from South Amboy, stopping at State and Smith street, will give transfers over the State street route when so requested. Alderman Waters points out that the service resulting from this change should be 100 per cent, bet ter than under the old system as then every other bus went over the State street route whereas now every incoming bus will be met and the transfer buses will go over the same route again in returning to their stations.

By Georges Thomas WASHINGTON. Sept. 3 0—The ' forthcoming conference of Limita tion of Armaments owes its birth to ! the failure of the United States to join the League of Nations. The Treaty of Versailles was supposed to provide for the settle ment of all tho issues growing out of the war. Instead of having such a salutary result, however, it provided only a basis upon which other conferences could operate. Our allies in the late war have struggled with the question of dis armament, German indemnity and political boundaries arising from the allocation of territories, through a series of conferences, which have ruled the world since the armistice. At the Washington conterenco it is to be hoped that the Invited major powers—Great Britain, France, Ja pan and Italy—having participated in this endless confusion of confer ences in Europe, will profit by pre vious failures and provide a prac ticable means for enforcing any de cisions that may be rearced ,not simply lay the foundation for a com mission-ridden agreement. Fifteen Conferences Since the coming into force of the peace treaty there have been held in Europe 15 conferences of the pre miers of Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium. The first conference was held, in London in February, 1920. It was called at the suggestion of Lloyd George, master of conversational diplomacy, who by this means has maintained the unity of the allies and postponed the final day of set tlement. This conference was fol lowed by: 1920 San Remo conference ...April S-26 Hythe meeting . May IS Second Hythe meeting .... May 18 Boulogne conference .... June 23 Brussels conference.July 2-4 Spa conference . July 5-18 Boulogne meeting. July 27 Third Hythe meeting .... Aug. 8-9 Lucerne meeting . Aug. 21-22 Atx-les-Balns meeting..

Jan. 24-29 London conference Feb. 21-Mar. 11 While these meetings have been interesting, they have met with little success, so far as any ultimate settle ment is concerned. Squnhhlc Over Indemnity As an example, the Paris confer ence of this year fixed by German IIPTOTMIL Proposed Conference With British is to Come Before the Irish Parliament LONDON, Sept. 10.—Premier Lloyd George’s invitation to Eamon deValera and colleagues to confer as to a basis for a settlement of the Irish controversy, must await action by the Irish republican parliament. That body will meet in secret ses sion Wednesday at which time it is assured by the premier’s latest note to Dubliin will be submitted, and a decision reached as to rejection or acceptance of the invitation. Powers For Ik? Valera. It was understood when (he re publican parliament adjourned at 1 Dublin recently it had conferred plenary powers on Mr. deValera and his colleagues. The note from Mr. Lloyd George is asserted to have brought a factor into the situation which made it necessary for the parliament to meet and widen the scope of the mandates it gave its leaders. The members of the parliament took the oath of allegiance as to the Irish republic and government of the Irish republic and pledged themselves not to “yield voluntary support to any pretended government authority or power within Ireland, hostile or inimical thereto.” See No Separation. Thus it would appear the condition precedent that there could be no separation of Ireland from the Brit ish empire, laid down by Lloyd George would in effect call on Mr. deValera and members of the min istry creatures of the parliament, to recognize a “government, authority or power” in Ireland other than that of the Dail Eireann if they accepted the invitation. It would also seem they must be especially empowered to meet the premier on the basis laid down in his latest note. Doilies His 'I ruck Has Used. SOUTH AMBOY.

Neither of these sums tallied with that fixed two months later by the Reparation Commission in the dis charge of its duty under the Ver sailles treaty, which latter amount was accepted by the allied govern ments as well as by Germany. As to the question of disarmament of Germany, which was continually coming before these premier meet ings, only partial success was ob tained. Other Commissions The armies of occupation, which were forcibly to guarantee the state of peace as against Germany, pre supposed the Allied Rhineland com mission. This commission was cre ated for the purpose of governing, in conjunction with the German civil authorities, the occupied territory. For the purpose of disarming Germany and rendering her milita rily helpless until the full demands of the treaty have been met. three commissions of control were estab lished, namely, the naval, military and aeronautical commissions. Not only was Germany required to surrender her navy and merchant marine, but she was also required to give up almost her entire river fleets. For this purpose the Danube commission was created with an American arbitrator as stipulated by the treaty. A further commission, called the Governing commission, was created by the treaty to govern the Saar Valley, which was delivered to France for a period of 15 years In compensation for the destruction of the coal mines of northern France. licparntlon Commission But the chief of all these commis sions. and the only one that will have a continuous existence until the full demands of the treaty have been met (a period assumed by the treaty to be 30 years), Is the Repara tion commission. It has the widest jurisdiction and holds within its hands the economic survival or In dustrial death of the German peo ple. There are many other commis sions such as Supremo Council, the Ambassadors’ Council, the Interna tional Credits Association, the Si lesian Plebiiscite Commission, ad in finitum. While the United States has held only a watching brief at these vari ous conferences, her representatives have perhaps exercised as much or more influence than any of the other powers, and she is certainly in a fa vored position to avoid the snares and pitfalls of a long drawn out conference, made indefinite and in effective by leaving important is sues to the decision or administra tion of later conferences or commis sions. President Harding disapproved tho decision of disarmament at the London conference a few weeks ago for tho reason that ho proposes the Washington conference shall re sult not simply in the discussion and expression of pious wishes concern ing disarmament, but shall be a con ference of deeds and render a real service to tho tax-burdened nations of the world. 13 lira N GRAND JURY Will Hold One More Session, Sept. 19--Six Persons Re leased From Jail NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 10:— Thirteen indictments were returned yesterday by the grand jury and handed down to Judge Frank Cleary, of Somerset county, who is sitting in place of Judge Peter Daly, now on his vacation.
