Different City Societies Con
fer at City Hall on Plans
for Easter Event
PROGRAM BEING FRAMED
City to Pay Solemn Tribute to
Those Who Died for Their
Country
<%
On Easter Sunday afternoon Perth
) Ainboy will unite in rendering a sol
L einn tribute to the memories of the
I soldiers of this city who died in the
| great war. The prevailing senti
ment in favor of the American Le
gion proposition to combine in a
memorial service of respect to the
deceased heroes as typified by the
■ body of Private, Rudolph Lundberg
S was made clear at the meeting at
M the city hall last night when repre
m sentatives of various organizations
j| in the city met in response to the
St Legion Invitation to participate in
K the ceremony planned.
H Owing to the fact that many or
SS ganizations have not had official ses
mJ sions since receiving the invitation,
■ all were not at the meeting but the
Hi turnout was sufficient to justify the
■ American Legion in going ahead
w with the memorial plans as a com*
B munity observance. Such military,
B • civic and fraternal societies as were
V represented last night seem to be in
W accord with the alms of the Ameri
| can Legion and after a short session
' the meeting adjourned with »igns
pointing toward* ceremony that will
be unique among Perth Amboy
memorial services.
Ronald R. Kleckner presided at
the meeting, opening with a brief
explanation of the object of the pro
posed event and pointing out the
reason for the meeting. Ray Mundy,
i commander of the local post of the
American Legion, sketched the ten
tative plans already made by the
Legion general committee. A few
sub-committee chairmen were then
appointed and details of the cere
mony were throw'n open for discus
sion.
Holger Holm, marshal of the
Armistice Day parade last Novem
ber, was designated to act in a sim
ilar capacity at the procession that
Is to follow the body of Private
Lundberg to Alpine cemetery follow
ing the service in City Hall Park.
He will arrange the line of march
and the places to be assigned to the
organizations participating. This
will doubtless be a difficult matter
because of the fact that some organ
izations have not acted on the mat
ter officially as yet and it is not
known just how many will turn out.
It is suggested that societies not
represented at the city hall last
. k,i» ♦ n tako nnrt in
(the service and procession notify
the marshal as soon as possible.
Once again the Legion desires to ex
tend a cordial Invitation to all or
ganizations to take part, whether
formally invited or not. The memo
rial is a community affair to honor
all Perth Amboy’s soldier dead and
the larger the representation the
more successful will be the event. 1
Maxwell MacMlchael. organist of
St. Peter’s church, was appointed to
arrange a formal program for the
ceremony In the park. This will in
i c'ude addresses by State Senator
i V illlam Runyon of TJnlon county
ai 1 Mayor William C. Wilson. Ths
re.igious portion of the service com
I prises prayers to be offered by Mon
signor William P. Cantwell, of St.
Mary's church, Rabbi Eugene Kohn
of Beth Mordecai, and Rev. Frede
rick Niedermeyer, of the Presbyteri
an church. Mr. MacMlchael also
L Plans to have suitable vocal selec
tions rendered by a combined choir
fmm all churches in the city, and
community singing of the national
anthem by the assembled people.
Suggestion was made last night
that a short period of absolute si
lence similar to that observed on
Armistice Day be made a part of the
program. The proposal was favora- .
bly received and it is expected to be
embodied in a proclamation to be
Issued by Mayor Wilson asking the
population of the city to unite in the
Easter Sunday afternoon service.
The memorial is to start promptly
at 2 o’clock and will occupy perhaps
forty minutes.
Mention was made of the fact that
some organizations will not have
official meetings until after Easter
and to cover this phase it was point,
ed out that such organizations could
post bulletins in their lodge rooms
calling attention to the memorial
service and requesting their mem
bers to turn out regardless of
whether they have taken official
action. Secretaries or other officials
reading this are urgently asked to
comply.
Possibly the only expense that will
be Incurred by the societies parti
cipating, will be for flowers. At the
meeting last night all organizations
were asked to send a floral offering
to bank the casket that will rest
on an army gun caisson from Camp
Raritan In front of the speakers’
stand in the park. All these flowers
should be sent to the office of Ferd
Gauretson on High street, where
»they will be cared for until the cere
mony.
It la planned to have Private
Xaindberg’s body lie in the park,
guarded by a ills of soldiers for
several hours previous to the service.
i ARREST TWO HERE FOR ROBBERY AT SOUTH AMBOY
“MGS,” PET 006, TO SHARE
HOME WITH Y00H6 BOY
Rags, Just an ordinary canine, has
the distinction of being the first dog
ever committed to an institution by
Justice in New York city. Rags, a
pal of Tommy, a boy of ten years,
who the Children's Society of New
York under its rules refuses to make
known tho other name, became a
charge of the court, and was com
mitted in the regular way to the
Mission of the Immaculate Virgin,
Mt. Loretto, near Pleasant Plains, S.
I. The love of the boy for the dog
was the cause. Tommy was taken
in the custody of the Children’s So
ciety some time ago and when he
was to be sent to the institution yes
terday refused to be separated irom
his pal. Justice Boyle heard of the
incident, and being an official • f the
institution he arranged for the boy
and dog to share the same home.
LIGHTS CO OUT;
Stores and Homes Without
Public Service Power-Ele*
vator is Stranded
Part of the city supplied with elec
tric light and power by the Public
Service Company, was without any
supply for about four hours last
night, the result of a mishap to the
lighting and power system caused
by the thunder and lightning storm
shortly alter 5 o’clock. Stores along
Smith street were without
electric lights or electric
power, the moving picture pertorm
aneee at the Strand and Crescent
theatres could not be given and an
elevator running in the Raritan
building became stalled between
Boors.
It was not until about 10 o’clock
that repairs had been made by the
Public Service Company so that
Ights and power were again obtain
able. Officials of the Public Service
Company today refused to give any
Information as to the cause of the
suspension of power and light, stat
ing that no report had been received
by them as yet from those who in
vestigated the mishap.
The high winds accompanying the
lownpour of rain and intermittent
lashes of lightning, did considerable
damage to wires, trees, poles, signs
md windows. The shower shortly
after 6 o’clock was not of sufficient
Juration to cause any serious wash
outs of floods in the city. Another
ihower visited the city about 9:80
j’clock, but this did not have the in
tensity of the first.
The showers were the first real
thunder storms of the year, plenty
of warning being given by both. The
;ity lighting system was not affect
'd by the rain or wind. The high
wind caused an unusually high tide
and for a time it looked as though
tome of the boats hauled out along
the shore would suffer considerably
out they escaped damage by inches.
When the power was shut off the
ilevator in the Raritan Building was
oetween two floors, the operator be
ing the only occupant. The car
:ou!d not move as the result of the
mrrent being shut off and the work
v# oronitinff tha hp»vv rnr down by
land waa started. It required almost
in hour's work to drop the car suf
lciently to allow the Imprisoned
iperator to get out.
At the height of the storm light
ning struck the high tension wires
pf the Public Service Company on
High street near the Roeseier &
Hasslacher manufacturing plant.
Seven wires carrying 2.400 volts
each received the shock of the light
ning bolt and a spectacular display
pf shooting streaks of fire resulted.
Patrolman Marinus -Ludwigson ob
served the incident and made a re
port to Desk Lieutenant John Mor
ris at police headquarters. It is
thought that this occurrence may
have been responsible for the stop
page of current in certain sections
pf the city.

door leading to the spare parts and
tires was also forced. A sum of
money lying in the till was untouch
ed. the thieves concentrating upon
tires, all extra size Mlchelin cords.
Their value is set at 3650.
The operations of the robbers,
however, were noticed by a railroad
brakeman. who saw the men pass
under the bridge and recognized one
of the men going toward Perth Am
boy. He notified the authorities of
Perth and South Amboy. "Bruno"
Kondas maintains that he refused to
participate in the garage robbery
and walked the bridge back to Perth

Madsen and Kondas were returned
to South Amboy by Officer* Quinlan
and Malacewskl last night. “Buck”
Egan and “Phil" Owens are still at

Disarmament Continues
To De Leading Question
At Genoa Conference
GENOA. April 12.—(By the Asso
ciated Press)—Prime Minister Lloyd
George of Great Britain contem
plates suggesting an agreement for
limitation of land armament for Eu
rope for a definite period, accord
ing to an unverified report before
adjournment of the present econo
mic conference.
The army holiday, it is thought
would be patterned after the naval
holiday arranged at the Washing
ton conference.
Disarmament continues to be the
most discussed question among the
delegates here, although barred
from official discussion, when M.
Tchitcherln, soviet minister, endeav- I
ored to bring it before the confer
ence.
The statement of Louis Bsrthaou
to the Associated Press explained
why France cannot discuss disarma
ment. will probably remain the basis
of the French attitude despite the
Russian delegations to raise the is
sue.

THEIR DOMESTIC AFFAIRS
AIRED IN CALEDONIA PARK |
Chauffeur William Clooney of the ;
police department was aeianeu m.
Water and Lewis streets shortly al
ter dark last night to investigate a |
report that a young girl had flt#d a
revolver shot at a man companion.
A search of the district revealed the
couple in Caledonia Park and the
resulting investigation proved that
the girl was the man's wife and that
she had disagreed with an outing
taken by her husband on Monday
night.
Angered at her attitude the man
had picked up a laj*ge stone and
hurled it to the sidewalk. The
crash sounded like a shot and was
responsible for the call at police
headquarters. When Clooney ar
rived he found that the couple had
evidently settled the trouble and
there was no cause for arrest. The
incident was closed by the combined
efforts of Chauffeur Clooney. Officer

"This is a purely economic con
ference." said the French leader last
night? ' and we have simply got to
stick to our agenda as America did
at Washington; otherwise, we will
get nowhere."
Ask if France would be disposed
to discuss disarmament at some later
conference, he replied; "If I wanted
to say the pleasant thing my answer
would be yes. and yet the real an
swer of France is we don't know.
"Don't forget that we have before
us a great army in Russia and while
Germany certainly is not a menace at
present we have a menacq in the
potentially great German army of
the future. You have perhaps ob
served the anodyne texture of the
German chancellor's speech before
the Genoa conference. We do not
know what Germany will do, but I
can say this: My latest official re
port from Paris does not indicate
that Germany is in a tractable spirit
concerning the vital matters em
bodied in the Versailles treaty.”
M. Barthou, emphasized a dis
armament program is under consid
eration by the League of Nations,
which he said it would doubtless
give proper attention.
The report on financial questions
prepared by the Germans and- pre
sented by Dr. Rathenau was thans
mitted today to Sir Robert Horne,
chancellor of the British exchequer,
and "will be discussed at the altar

.mission.
The report deals with a plan for

Saar Valley control of which was
awarded to France by the treaty of
Versailles is to be called to the at
tention of the economic conference
by a delegation from the Saar, saya
the newspaper Cattatino. today.
The French occupation, the depu
tation will declare, has caused a
grave situation. It also will present
"numerous formidable accusation*
against the French troops.”
Pray For Success of Sessions
GENOA, April 12 (By The Asso
dated Press)—Prayers are being
said in the churches today for the
success of the conference. The prin
cipal service was held in the cathe
dral where throngs gathered during
the night to offer petitions for a
blessing on the deliberations of the
conference.
Monsigror Signori, archbishop of
Genoa, celebrated mass at midnight
and delivered a sermon emphasizing
the historical moment through which
Genoa and Europe were passing.
Russia Asks Explanation

head of the Russian delegation ha*
asked Signor Sehanxer, as chairman
of the principal sub-commission for
exact interpretation of several points

Mr. Tchitcherin desires an explana
tion of that part of the report deal
ing with guarantees to be extended
foreigners in Russia remarking that
in other European countries, for
eigners were treated like citizens oT
the country in which they reside.
Only eleven facts of the report
prepared by the allied experts in
London have been made for the
members of the sub-commission ex
amining it.
The Russian experts are carefully
digesting the recommendations of
the London experts, but the docu
ment is so long and so involved that
the Russians may ask for more time
to consider it. They think it w-il'
be difficult to have ready a detaileu
reply for the next meeting of the
sub-commission arranged for Friday.
As the report has not receiveo
formal approval of the powers which
convoked the Genoa conference. It is
held in French quarters to be the
basis of the opening of negotiations.
