CITY OUTLINES ACTION ON R. R. BRIDGES
ORIGINAL COURT ORDER IS SERVED
, -- -- _ - _A- --,
'G.O.P. Claims They Put
Something Over in Going
Ahead With Ordinance
The Republicans today feel that they “put one over”
on the Democrats in the efforts of the latter to prevent the
passage of the ordinance which authorizes a new districting
of the city’s wards. The Democrats, through David Wilentz,
served a restraining order on the aldermen at their meeting
Monday night which was intended to prevent the major
from signing the ordinance. Yesterday morning the mayor
signed the ordinance and it was published in the Evening
News An hour and a half aRer the advertisement appeared
in the newspaper the original restraining order was served
bv Mr. Wilentz on City Clerk Arthur E. Graham.
It is the contention of the Repub
Means that the paper served at the
aldermanlc meeting Monday nlgnt
did not compel those against whom
it was drawn to carry out the i.ders
therein because it was not properly
sealed and was not signed by tbe
supreme court clerk. The signal s,
supposedly of Justice lames J.
Bergen, do not appear to be the
same. Mayor Wilson said.
_ Mayor Wilson maintains that the
B fact that a second order was served
W on City Clerk Graham yesterday
afternoon in the case proves that
the copy served, at the meeting
Monday night was practically
worthless in that it did not contain
the necessary signatures or the of
ficial seal. The mayor signed the
ordinance yesterday morning fol
lowing receipt by City Clerk Gra
ham of a written opinipn from City
Attorney Leo Goldberger In whlefc
he advised that the order was not
properly made out and therefore
would not restrain the mayor from
signing the ordinance. The mayor
was guided in his action by this
written opinion and an opinion
given him by the city attorney, Fol
lowing his investigation into the
rase the mayor asked the city clerk
for the ordinance .it was brought
to hint and it was signed.
The opinion follows:
"December 8. 192i.
"Arthur E. Graham, Esq.,
"City Clerk.
"City Hall, City. t
"Dear Sir:—You are hereby ad
vised that in my opinion the paper
served on you last night purporting
to be a true copy of a writ of certi
orari in a cause entitled. Louis P.
Booz. Prosecutor vs. City of Perth
Amboy, defendant, does not restrain
you from having the mayor ap
prove the ordinance which was
passed last night, for the following
reasons: ,__
"1. Original should have been
served. ,
"2 Paper served on you Is not
u sealed by the clerk of the supreme
court nor does It bear his signature
»or copy thereof.

Department of Commerce
Survey Shows Conditions
Are Getting Better Steadily
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7:—Contin
ued improvement In business condi
tions in October, reflected notably In
increased outputs of iron and steel
and textile products and also a wide
spread stimulation in buildinj and
its related industries, was reported
by the department of commerce to
day in its survey of current business.
While prices continued to decline
slightly during October, the survey
showed the relative stability of
prices as compared with preceding
months and the improved banking
situation as evidenced by smaller
loans and lower interest rates, were
cited as conditions favorable to con
tinued business improvement.
With the exception of metals the
quantitative production in important
industry was shown by the survey
to be equal or better than before
the war average of 1913.
Many lines, including pig iron and
cotton and tobacco manufacturers,
showed an increase of about one
third over the minimum production
for the current year. An increase
of 17 per cent, over the minimum
was reported in the production of
bituminous coal, while the output of
wheat, flour, cement and wool pro
ducts was shown to have been ap
proximately double the minimum
figures.
DR. LORENZ LIKELY TO GO
DICK TO VIENNA SOON
NEW YORK. Dec. 7:—Dr. Adolph
Lorenz, famous Austrian surgeon,
announced today that if he knew of
opposition to his professional activi
ties in this country from the medical
profession he would discontinue
further free clinics and return to
Vienni as soon as possible.
He made the announcement at the
office of Health Commissioner Cope
land where he went to examine
seventy-flve crippled children.
Dr. Ixtrenz explained his decision
in the following statement:
“In view of the widespread and
great opposition to my professional
activities in this country from the
rank of the medical profession,
which I had hoped to conciliate. I
feel I must discontinue all my plans
and return to my beloved Vienna.
"I harbor no malice against the
American profession and hope they
will soon reconsider and accept the
proffered hand of affection with
their Austrian brethren. If once the
Ice is broken the current will do the
reht and in the near future a recon
ciliation must take place anyhow.
“First my great mission was to
thank the American people for all
they have done for the starving lit
tle children of Vienna. I did not fail
ip this. Mv endeavors to conciliate
the profession failed. I made super
human efforts. I tried in vain. I
am sorry."

Provides for Joint Consulta

fecting the Nations
PACIFIC ISLANDS ISSUE
Is Being Considered by the U.
S., Great Britain, France
and Japan
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (By The
Associated Press):—The four power
agreement being considered by the
United States, Great Britain. Japan
and France, it was learned today
from official American sources,
would be an agreement for joint
consultation on any matters affect
ing interests of those nations in the
Pacific islands and not in alliance or
technical entente.
The agreement is in process of be
ing reduced to treaty form, it was
said, and If accepted is to be sub
mitted to the senate.
The proposed undertaking is de
signed to do away with the Anglo
Japan alliance.
As now under , negotiation the
agreement is to be limited to the
Pacific Islands. Under the tentative
agreements each of the powers
would agree to consult each other
before going to war on any differ
ences that might arise relating to
those islands.
The agreement, American officials
said, would not deal with fortifica
tions or with relations t<j ths^jsland
of Yap. Neither Wfflllld It deal with
any matters affecting China but only
those relating to islands of the
Pacific.
Resolutions Insuring the territorial
integrity of China and providing for
use of wireless stations in China
were adopted unanimously today by
the nine powers represented on the
committee on Pacific and Far East
ern questions.
The committee in executive ses
sion also considered further China's
request for removal of foreign troops
and abandonment of leased territory
in China but deferred action on
these questions until tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (By Th^"
Associated Press)—A tentative pro
posal for an agreement between the
United States and other powers to
replace the Anglo-Japanese alli
ance has been called to London
as well as to Tokio as a result of
the last meeting of the arms con
ference’s big three.
Official confirmation that a sug
gestion for a new international con
cert has taken definite form, was
given today by the British. Details
were not revealed, but an author
ized British spokesman said that
"certain suggestions, were formu
lated and telegraphed to London,”
after the conference last week be
tween Secretary Hughes, Arthur J.
Balfour and Admiral Baron Kato.
The British spokesmen added that
it might thoroughly be inferred
tl'.at if these proposals should find
general acceptance they would have
the effect of terminating the An
glo-Japanese alliance for which
there would be no further use. Al
though no similar official statement
has been made by the Japanese it
is known the tentative agreement
was called also to Tokio and the de
lay In receiving a more definite
statement of positions from the
Japanese capital is attributed to
questions raised by this new phase
of the negotiations, rather than to
indecision over the naval ratio.
Meantime the American delega
tion is revealing nothing whatever
regarding its attitude toward the
proposed arrangement. American
spokesmen hold to their insistence
that the question is not at a stage
where anything can be said about
It to the public.

lican State Committee today for

selves to the support of the Presi

solve this great problem.”

ROOSEVELT ELECTION
FIGHT CONTINUED
Supreme Court Justice James J.
Bergen, sitting at his office in Somer
ville, this morning declared Richard
J. Galvin. Robert A. McGuire and
Benjamin A. Riedy the winners in
the three Perth Amboy recounts and
Jcseph C. Childs, the successful can
didate for councilman in Roosevelt.
The three Perth Amboy men were
elected originally but in Roosevelt
tho original figures showed Charles
A. Phillips. Republican, winner over
Childs by twenty-four votes.
Richard J. Galvin. Democratic al
derman-at-large-elect, defeated Al
derman-at-Largo John N. Wester.
Republican, by thirty-one votes, the
final recount figures show following
Judge Bergen's decision on referred
ballots. Galvin's original majority
was but ten votes, the recount giv
ing him twenty-one additional.
The new figure ip the fourth and
sixth ward aldermanic contests
could not be learned, but it was
officially announced that Robert A.
McGuire, Democrat, defeated Fred
P. Hansen, Republican in the
fourth ward race. The original
count there gave McGuire a ma
jority of twenty-six votes. In the
sixth ward Alderman Benjamin A.
Riedy, Republican, was re-elected
over John Kozusko, his Democratic
opponent. The original vote gave
Riedy a thirty-five vote margin.
The only change caused by the re
count Is in Roosevelt where Joseph
C. Childs was awarded the election
by feur votes Instead of Charles A.
Philips, by twenty-four, as was
shown in the original figures. The
Republicans of Roosevelt are re
ported to be in favor of carrying
their fight to a higher court in ap
pealing the decision of Justice Ber
gen. One poll In Roosevelt result
ed in the change coming about, the
recount showing a gain of more than
thirty votes for Childs in this one
district.
Judge Bergen rejected ballots on
which the “x” was placed before
or after the name of the candidate
Instead of the square furnished for
this purposp. He explained that
the new election laws made such
voting illegal. He allowed some
cases where the names of eandi
' dates were written in personal
choice column, but In others he re
jected the ballots.
NEED FOR DEEPER
CHANNEL IS SHOWN
Need for a deeper channel In Rari
tan bay. being urged on all sides,
has been shown to a great extent
recently. The channel at the pres
ent time has filled up so that it is
Impossible for some of the larger
boats now bringing supplies to the

are located on tfie Staten Island
sound to come direct to the plants,
as they must first pioceed to Staple
ton. Staten Island, where the cargo
is lightened after which they come to
the piants here.
Among the ships that now draw
too much water, when loaded, to
come up the bay are: Marita, Mara
bal, Mutura and Harold -Walker.
These ships all draw between twen
ty-six and twenty-seven feet of
water, and are lightened so that they
draw twenty-three feet. The chan
nel is nineteen fee: at low water and
twenty-three feet six inches at high
water.
Considerable Shipping
At the present time there is con
siderable shipping now going on in
local waters. Among the ships that
are due are the following: Harold
Walker, from Trinidad to Barber

City Dock Repaired
Repairs that have been under way
on the city dock for the period of
one month were completed last Sat
urday and the dock Is now in first
class shape, the work was done by
the East Jersey Bridge Company
and consisted in replanking and
generally strengthening the dock.
I A new dock has also been built
for the quarantine boat at the pilot
office. The old dock was considered
dangerous as it consisted of a run
way leading down to a float. In
winter time the boys played on the
float and were in danger of being
thrown into the water. The old float
has been replaced with a stairway
leading down to the uoat. The float
was towed to the beach and will
probably be left there for the use of
bathers next summer.

CIS SELF UP
Tired of Dodging Police. He
Says, Will be Returned to
Workhouse
John Hand, thirty-eight years old.
a boatman, who escaped from the
county workhouse on August 2 7.
walked Into the local police station
this morning and gave himself up to
Lieutenant Andrew Jensen. Hand
explained that he had grown tired
of endeavoring to keep out of the
way of police and detectives who
have been searching for him since
his escape from the workhouse and
said jobs were so scarce nowadays
it is difficult to secure one unless
you can furnish a clean record. This
he has been unable to do, he said,
so he decided to go back to the
workhouse, serve his term of twen
ty-seven months and then try and
start over again.
The man was arrested in Port
Reading, charged with stealing
money from boatmen by forging
their names to checks which he stole
from the mails. He admitted his
guilt and was sentenced by Judge
Peter F. Daly in New Brunswick to
serve nine months in the county
workhouse on each of three counts.
He was taken to the workhouse on
July 1 and on August 27 he escaped.
In so doing he injured a foot and
this had caused him considerable
trouble ever since, he said; as it did
not heal properly.
Warden Masterson of the work
house was notified of the man's ar
rest and he told the local police to
hold Hand until a man could be
sent here to take him back to New
Brunswick.
Lieutenant Detective Lawrence A.
Long took the finger prints of Hand
and questioned him while he was be
ing held here this morning. Hand is
married but his wife is dead. He
has three children, one of whom is
in a New Haven home and the two
others with sisters. He seemed anx
ious to start serving his term in or
der that he might again be released
"with a clean bill,”* as he expressed
It.

Want Lehigh R.R. Bridge
Over New Brunswick Ave.
Raised Higher Than Plan
The delegation representing Perth Amboy at the grade
crossing elimination hearing held before the Public Utility
Commission at Newark this morning secured an adjourn
ment until January 25 in order that efforts «an be made to
have the Lehigh Valley railroad raise its bridge over New
I Brunswick avenue so that the street will not be forced to go
i so low at this point. Those representing the city were Mayor
William C. Wilson, Judge Charles C. Hommann, City En
gineer Morgan F. Larson and City Attorney Leo Goldberger.
The members of the delegation
conferred on the train while making
the trip to Newark and in addressing
the Utility Commission Attorney
Goldberger said the city had prac
tically accepted the plans but would
like to know a few more details be
fore finally acting on the project
New Brunswick avenue, under the
present plans, will pass over a
bridge over the Central Railroad
tracks and then go down several
feet in order to pass under the Le
high Valley tracks. The Idea of the
city officials is to have the Lehigh
Valley raise their tracks over New
Brunswick avenue to a height which
will make It unnecessary for the
street itself to be dropped to so low
a grade. The incline, according to
the pusent plans would stau be
tween Elm and Oak street, leaching
its lowest- spot under ths Lehigh
Valley tracks anj then rise so that It
will reach the present streci
Amtcy avenue about midway be
tween Washington street and New
Brunswick avenue.
The Perth Amboy representatives
held another conference at the
Utility rooms befope going before
the commission [ at which it
was dycided that more
details should be given them as t»
c hat kind of bridges would be con
structed under the present plans.
Both steel and concrete are to he
used, it is understood. Chief En
gineer Hand of the Lehigh Valley
and Bridge Engineer Meade of the
Public Utility Commission were
present and conferred with the
Perth Amboy men..
When Attorney Goldberger ask-.f
for an adjournment he said that
the railroad and muni<'ii»al re,i -
sentatives would get together in the
meantime and reach a definite un
derstanding in order that an intel.i
gent answer might be made on Jan.
i'5. He hinted that there is lik-Iy
to be a public hearing in Perth
Amboy, held for the purpose of re
ceiving the opinion of the residents
on the proposed project. The city
officials want the- street bridg t
as low as p'ossible and continue to
U'ge the railroads to depress their
tricks further in order that tl •
r eighth of the bridges might be les
sened.

Matrimonial Mix-Up Starts
Here and Ends in New
York Court
Chief Niels J. Tonnesen this
morning had brought to his atten
j tion a complicated matrimonial mix
' up, part of which would go well in a
movie scenario. In order to folly
understand tne case it is necessary
to go back to December 1, when the
police here received a report from
Mrs. Rosie Blosoie of 572 New Bruns
wick avenue vvhc said her sixteen
1 year-old daughter, Julia, had been
'enticed away by a Terth Amboy man.
; The mother asked the police to find
I the man.
Nothing more v.as heard from the |
woman by the police until Monday
j when the girl appeared with a man. t
I who gave the name of Charles To
masalo. at the office of City Clerk Ar
thur y. Graham. They wanted a
I marriage license. As the girl was
i under age she was told to get her
mother's consent in writing and also
witnesses to prove that the woman
1 who gave the consent was her mo
j ther. This was done but the man
had no witnesses who would swear
that he was single. City Clerk Gra
ham refused them a license until this
j proof that the man was not married
was furnished.
Yesterday the gir!, her mother, the
husband-to-be and another man. a
friend of the mother's, went to. New
York According to the police ver
sion Tomasalo told them it was for
the purpose of getting his sister to
act as a witness to prove that he
j was single.
lomasaio ioor xne xnree xo a
place in Canal street, where he ask.
ed them to wait for him while he
. went to a bank to get some money.
Growing suspicious of Tomasalo’s
actions the other man followed him
telling the woman and her daugh
ter to wait on the corner for him
to return. According to the man's
] story, he had just turned the cor
ner when Tomasalo struck him
and a fight started which attracted
the attentoon of a policeman. When
, the officer arrived Tomasalo charged
the other man with attempting to
kill him. Both were taken to a po
lice atation where Tomasalo again
pressed his charge and the other
man was locked up.
In the meantime the two wom»n
had waited for more than an hour
in the cold. Finally they met the
policeman who had made the ar
rest and in answer to a question as
to whether he had seen two men
answering their description he told
of the fight and the arrests. The
women went with him to the police
station wnere they found the wrong
man locked up. They explained the
case to the police lieutenant and
their friend was relx'ased on condi
tion that all three go back to New
Jersey.
The mother and girl are again in
this city .but the latter's sweetheart
Tomasalo. is among the missing a«d
I the husband that was to have been
apparently "ain't." The police again
have been asked to look for and ar
i rest Tomasalo. The family friend,
incidentally, has sworn off doing
! the Good Samaritan act for ac
quaintances, as he is nursing bruises
and still has visions of the cell in
! which he was locked up.
