Bollschweiler’s Successor to
U. S. Marshal’s Post Will
Likely be Confirmed
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
Washington Correspondent ol The
Perth Amboy Evening News)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13:—Rresi
lent Harding sent to the senate yes
erday the nomination of James H.
Uulheron to be United States mar
ihal for New Jersey, to succeed
Albert Bollechwellcr, of Raritan
Township, N. J., who was asked to
-eaign. .Mulheron is the keeper of
he state prison at Trenton.
The appointment of Mulheron was
ieveral months ago urged upon the
President by Senators Edge and
.••relinghuysen. Under ordinary cir
•umstances Bollschweller's term
vould not have expired until Janu
iry 13, next, but on account of the
iealre to rush Mulheron's appoint
ment the former was asked to resign
jefore the end of his second term
ixpired. Bollschweiler in replying
o Attorney General Daugherty’s re
vest for his resignation asked that
le be permitted to serve out his
erm.
A special effort will be made to
•onflrm Mulheron's nomination be
ta the senate adjourns for the
pias holidays so that he can
yy prepared to take the office
er upon the expiration of
.jh of the present marshal,
uary 13, or perhaps a little be
i
Contest in New Jersey
TBraTON. Dee 13—Very short
y Governor Edwards will be called
jpon to decide the hot contest
vhich is being waged between Bur
ingoon and Mercer county Demo
rats for the office of Keeper of
he state prison for a term of five
, ears at $5,000 a year and main
tenance. This is one of the best
.turns remaining to be bestowed
y the Edwards’ administration and
he fight for it has grown intense
o soon prior to the opening of the
ext legislature because of the fact
nat the encumbent, James H. Mul
,tron, Republican, may resign any
iay now to take the appointment of
I l.ited States marshal for New Jer
,-oy Mulheron was named by Gov
ernor Edge in 1917 and his term
,. ill expire in any event on the 30th
iay of next January.
The two names heard most in
onnection with the appointment
tie those of former Keeper Rich
ard P- Hughes. Burlington county.
Mid former Civil Service Commis
sioner Joseph S. Hoff, who lives in
Princeton. Mercer county.
Incidentally, the news that Wa:
jen Mulheron is to become the new
United States marshal for New Jer
sey succeeding Albert Bollschweiler
^Democrat, has a phase of the next
■ear's senatorial campaign involved
lt It is understood that Senator
l^Hdinghuysen is behind the move
Hr Washington to make Mulheron
rihe marshal. The prison keeper is
he Republican leader of Mercer
ounty and it is reported here that
if the senior senator lands the job
for Mulheron he can confidently
-cunt upon the full support of the
i; o, p. organization In Mercer In
his cotest for re-nomination and
i -election next year.

j SALTER'S 357 state street
ton in pictures. At the Ditmas
aheatre last evening the presenta
tion of h f widely heralded screen
version of Mr. Arliss’ greatest stage
characterization proved to be a rare
combination of excellent acting by
excellent players splendidly directed
and with a story that holds the
attention until the last moment.
And Mr. Arliss' acting in the title
role demands more praise than
space permits.
"Disraeli” is not an historical play
The author, Louis N. Parker. mer“
]y gave us a story to Illustrate the
life and times of the great English
statesman, and at the same time to
show some of the prejudice against
which Disraeli was obliged to fight j
in order to reach the summit of his
ambition—the Premiership. Mr.
Parker has sketched a plot around !
the efforts of the Premier to buy
the Suez Canal as a means whereby
England might defend India. The
love Interest is dual, for Disraeli's
great affection for nls wife forms
one phase of the romance In “Dis
rtali," while Clarissa and Charles
demonstrate their love In a series
of scenes that compare favorably
with the most charming we have
seen on the screen.
The program al30 includes Louis
M. Granat “in whistling selections.
Mr. Granat last night again scored
a big hit at this favorite theatre. i
Great Picture at Crescent
Betty Compson. the pretty hero
ine of "The Miracle Man.” and J
one of tha screen's leading emo
tional actresses is again in the
limelight—this time as a Paramount
star, ani in her initial production
under that banner. "At .the End of
the World." which was shown at
the Crescent theatre last night, she
achieved a veritr nla triumph, by her
artistic portrayal.
The new picture, which is from
the play by Ernest Klein, adapted
by Adelaide Heilbron and scenar
ized by Edfrid A. Bingham, con
cerns the love affairs and vicissi
tudes of "Cherry" the daughter of
an Englishman who runs a Chinese
gambling house and cafe in Shang
hai, China. It is a dramatic story,
well presented and supplies many
thrilling moments.
The story carries the spectator )
from Shanghai to s. lonely lighthouse
In the southern seas, where some of
the most dramatic episodes ever
seen upon the screen are portrayed
Miss Compson is supported by sev
eral talented players including Mil
ton Pills, hero of "The Faith Heal
er,” "The Great Moment,” and other
noted productions. Mitchell Lewis,
Casson Ferguson, Spottiswoode Ait

P. S.—Dufc to the fact that the production “Tradition” 4

ager under enormous expense and believing that every
show lover in Perth Amboy cannot afford to miss this great
