NEWARK. March 1.—The hear
» ing scheduled to be held before the
Public Utility Commission today on
the Perth Amboy grade crossing
elimination project was adjourned
until March 29. The adjournment
was decided upon in order to give
'he railroad companies and the city
of Perth Amboy an opportunity to
get together and go over the plans,
considering the changes in the plans
submitted by the railroad as sug
gested by the city.
Members of the commission this
morning pointed out that the plans
had just been given to them and
they were not prepared, without in
vestigation. to immediately state
whethe* or not they were pi»cti
cable. Hope was expressed that the
railroads and the city authorities
:ould get together between now and
March 29, and reach an agreement
tn the proposals so that when the
tearing is finally held the commis
sion may bo in a position to take
iction.
a Changes tentatively made in t lie
grade crossing elimination plans sub
mitlt i by the railroad companies
were pointed out last night at the
public hearing on the question held
in the city hail. Louis l’. liooz, resi
dent engineer retained by the city to
make a survey of the proposition and
suggest desirable cltanges, reported
on tv' ; L he had done so far. The
mootin'- was largely attended by resi
de!.ts interested in the project and
many of them took part in the pro
co. dings.
Under the charge-? as advocated
by Mr. Lopz the original plans will
be altered so that the Market ^treet
crossing will be- lowered three and
or.e-haif feet. The grade at Smith
street will be four feet lower, while
at New PrunswiC avenue there will
he no elevation or depression of the
tracks. The plan submitted by the
railroad on the Washington street
phase of the situation have not been
changed, except foi the fact that the
bridge would b- twenty-seven feet in
height rather than the thirty-three
foot elevation a;, suggested by the
railroad. The Lehigh Valley tracks
should be lower**’ two feet more, ac
cording to Mr. Booz. malting the
idea ranee four feet less.

Addresses Large Mass Meet
ing to Aid Jewish Relief
Drive Here
MORE DONATIONS MADE
Have About $16,000 Towards
Quota of $20,000 Set for
This City
“This is no time to ask questions.
Give! In Gcd’s name, give! There
is no time to decide how much we
can do, but we must give and at
once.”
The speaker was Rabbi Stephen P.
Wise, of New York, who addressed
the mens meeting held by the Jews
of Perth Amboy in the high school
aqiiU' j.jm last night and made the
ah n o rental ks at r. point In his talk
when ho referred to doubting Jews
who ask questions about how the
money is to be spent and think the
sum asked is too great. In further
elaboration of this point Rabbi Wise
asked his hearers to momentarily
forget the 4 00.000 adult refugees
wande'ing about Eastern Europe to
d.t> and merely consider the 300.
00., sir.al crpnan children. With only
the cnilJren to consider, the speaker
said, the sum being raised in the
United States will only allow between
$40 and $30 for the care of each
child for a year.
RaTbl Wise made a powerful ap
pei.l for the famine, war and mas
satre-rldden Jews of Eastern Eu
rope. I'e tolJ of their pitiable
plight and called tiopn the Jews of
this city to rally to their assistance.”
tlroiolil-icr t lin enr trponJliptil Infdl •
tion .f the suffering people the
speaker then noted the fact that
nearly two-tl'lrds of Ihe Jews of the
world are residerts of the stricken
an as and that ,faic! be not rendered
fmthor than that a ready advanced
til.' majority of the entire Jewish
race must perish. He pictured the
Jewish ‘charters of cities in these
districts as having been fought over
for years ar.d the people driven back
and forth by opposing armies, re
turning later only to find houses,
simps and Jewish institutions laid
waste, c nly misery and bitter mem
ories are left.
“The Jewish People of these areas
arc. still being waned against," Kab
bi Wise continued, "not. however,
warred again!.t like our boys in the
la‘e war when (hey had a chance to
fight li.'o men. but they are being
Slaughtered. If tney must die they
should be able to die like men."
"America nas saved tens of thou
sands c»e those people already and the
present fund being raised will save
thousands more. Might to ten mil
lions Oi the amount Leing subscribed
wi'l be spent in constructive relief so
that tlv people of these districts will
be put on their feet again.”
itabbi Wise then closed iiis ad-'
dross by making an appeal for the
Jews o’ Perth Ambo.v to give to the
min nut and, he noic.ci, to give as to
tn.dr father1, mothers and children,
and not ns throwing alms to beggars.
When the executive committee re
ported the progress of the local
drive it was found that Tuesday’s
effort by the workers and team cap
tains. together with additional sub
scriptions by those at the mass
meeting, had raised the total sum
(o $16,000. which is three-fourths of
the city ciuotn. The leaders of the
movement are gratified with the re
sults obtained but with four more
days to go they feel that the $20,000
ciuola pan and will, he greatly ex
ceeded. At 6 o'clock tonight the
learn captains and all workers will
meet at the Y. M. H. A. for a supper
and will report their progress for
Wednesday.
Chairman Harry S. Mearners mis
expressed his appreciation for the
spirit of co-operation shown by
Christians of the city. A number of
subscriptions have been received
from men who are not Jews and the
general committee desires to make
known its gratitude for this attitude.
These subscriptions have been re
ceived from Frank Dorsey, Bernard
M. Gannon, Senator Morgan F.
La.son, Mayor William C. Wilson,
the Perth Amboy Hardware Com
pany and Monsignor William P.
Cantwell.
Among the larger contributions
made by Jews of the city are these:
Max Goldman. $1,000; Isaac Alpern.
$500; David Kaufman. $500; Adolph
Motzendorf. $500; Pe/th Amboy Ga

Prcliiiglmyscii Not Changed
TRENTON. March 1—Senator
Frelinghuyscn here yesterday, ad
dressed the Republican Women’s
luncheon at the Stacy-Trent and la
ter made brief speeches before the
state senate and House of assembly.
The senator was interviewed for
a minute as lie rushed from the
assembly chamber to catch a train
for ' Washington as to his- position
on the soldier bonus.
“Have you anything to say as to
your position on the bonus?” he was
asked.
"There is nothing I want to say
now,” lie replied. Then a swarm of I
hands reached out to greet him. j
The interviewer hoping to get a j
fuller statement stood bv and the •
senior senator started again to talk. :
“I have not changed—“ he began
when several friends interrupted
and the interview ended. It was
assumed by the questioner that the
senator meant he had not changed
his position of some months ago
when he took the side or President
Harding, who thought the bonus
could not be afforded by the govern
ment' at. that time.
Senator Frelinghuyscn speaking!
before the lawmakers ref cried brief
ly to the need of protection to Amcr- I
ican industries in J e new tariff I
bill. He said a celebrated safety rn- 1
zor when manufactured in Germany !
costs only six cents and nlne’cen J
cents to ship to Fnitcd States. The 1
same article costs sixty cents t«* j
produce in the Fnitcd States, said
Mr. Frelinghuyscn.
"The issue in New Jersey this fall.” |
wJd the senator speaking before the j
Republican women, “will he wheth
er the state is to continue to adhere I
to the high ideals of tlio Republican |
party, or return to the days of race j
tracks, the rule of thy bootlegger j
and similar evils under Democratic j
control.”

Misunderstanding at Hearing
With Goldberger Causes
Latter to Drop Out
BEFORE UTILITY BOARD
On Application of Lehigh Val
ley to Lay Tracks Across
Washington Street
A misunderstanding between Al
derman-at-Large Richard J. Galvin
and City Attorney Leo Goldberger in
which Mr. Goldberger withdrew, and
Mr. Galvin and Alderman Albert G.
Waters argued the case for the city,
featured the hearing before the Pub
lic Utility Commission in Newark to
day on the application of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad to lay four tracks
across the foot of Washington street,
between the plants of the Perth Am
boy Dry Dock Company. Attorney
Adrian Lyon appeared for the Le
high Valley. The hearing, which
was held before Commissioner Os
born. occupied a period of forty
live minutes. Indications at this time
ere that the matter will result in a
court light, rather than a further
hearing before the commission.
Alderman-at-large Galvin gave a
history of the ordinunce ii) question,
tilling how it was passed. lWe' afrpefcf
vote and the attempt to pass the
repeal over the mayor’s veto. Al
derman Waters claimed that as the
ordinance originally appeared the
city had no protection whatever.
Among others who spoke in opposi
tion to the laying of the tracks was
IT Madsen
Adrian Lyon, representing the
railroad company, held that the
original ordinance had been put
through following the usual routine,
that a public hearing had been held
and other necessary legal action
gone into. He pointed out. how
ever, that the repeal of the ordi
nance had been done without a pub
lic hearing.
Commissioner Osborn instructed
the aldermen to consider the repeal
again at the next regular meeting
and if it is passed over the mayor’s
veto there need not be any further
hearing before tin* commission as
that will end the matter.
All the aldermen were present, at
the hearing with the exception of
Aldermen .lohn E. Sotield and Ben
jamin A. lUedy. Alderman Kicdy Is
in Cuba.
After the excitement of Monday
night’s special aldermanic meeting
had subsided yesterday and tin
light of day could he seen through
the maze of uncertain business
which had been transacted on the
night before, it became known tlur.
the vote taken to pass the Lehigh
Valley and Dry Docks repeal ordi
nance over the mayor’s veto was not
sufliciently large to carry. The vole
was four “aye” votes not to sustain
the mayor’s veto of the Washington
street crossing ordinance while, two
of the members failed to vote. Al
though tills vote was a majority vote
it was necessary to have live votes
to pass the measure over the mayor's
vet o.

gei.eial.y understood that th*- ordin
