Patrick J. Burke, a member of th?
Perth Amboy police department for
thirty-three years and chief for
Pjtwenty-eight years, died at his home
at 7 5 Jefferson street at 1:80 o’clock
this morning. The ex-chief had been
ill for several days ami it was gener
ally known that he could not survive

expected to occur as suddenly as it
did.
Funeral services will be he! I Tues

► She funeral. Chief Burke was known
throughout this section of the coun
ty and because of his sterling char
acter and long years of faithful ser
vice he was universally held in high
esteem.
Few police officers have ever pass
ed away as universally loved and re
spected by all classes as was Chief
Burke, his human dualities, coupled
with strict adherence to what he
considered his duty, endeared him
to everyone with whom ho came in
contact and the entire city is mourn
ing his death. In all his career as
ordinary patrolman and chief no
suspicion of scandal or irregularities
ever attached itself to his name,
which constitutes a peculiarly im
pressive record.

all municipal buildings early this
morning. The police arc confining
their work to merely routine duties
out of respect for Chief Burke’s
memory. No cases were heard in
the police court, all being adjourned
k^tauntli Monday.
MM Chief Burke was born April 11.
P^^1854 in Egbertville, Htaten Island.
’ now known as New Dorp. At the
age of fifteen he secured his first po
sition, becoming connected with the
J. G. Crooke Tinfoil Company in
New York City. He worked with
that organization for a number of
yvais and then moved to this city
in 1875. and was employed on the
coal wharves of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company. While there he
rose from a minor capacity to a
position as foreman.
On December 19, 1887, Chief
Burke received an appointment as a
patrolman on the police force, be
ginning his actual term of service
on Christmas night. The night was
bitter cold and the chief said after
ward that only his disinclination to
quit on a tough job kept him from
stopping his police career then and
there. At that time he was one of
three patrolmen under Chief Albert
Jackson.

CROSSING PROBLEM
BY GIVING YOUR VIEWS
"The Voice of the People,” the
new feature that appears daily in the
Evening News with great success,
shows that the citizens of this city,
both men ar.d women, desire to have
some say In the way in which im
portant matters are decided by the
aldermen. Both the question of
band concerts and a safe and sane
Fourth of July celebration have met
with many replies. In fact the num
ber received, greatly surprised Al
der man-at-Large Richard J. (iaivin
when presented to him for the use
of the aldermen in deciding these
important questions.
Many answers have been received
by the Voicj of the People Editor,
and although many only marked X
before the question on their cou
pons, some discussed the matter in
a letter accompanying the coupons
and in each of these instances the
coupons and lcters were turned over
to the aldermen for their consider
ation.
Every one in the city is interested
in the elimination of the grade
crossings and have no doubt expteas
ed their opinions on toe subject. This
question is one of the most in por
runt confronting the aldermen at the
present time and it this governin'; j
b -dy ever needed to hear trom the)
people whom they represent It is In i
connection with this big undertak
ing.
Answer the coupon, which will be
found printed on the first page of
the Evening News, and return it to
the Voice of the People Editor at
once, so that the coupons may be
filed as quickly as possible and pre
sented to the aldermen in order that
they may know what action the citi
zens desire taken. This question is
one that should not be "passed up."
Every citizen in the city should send

On Monday a ne„- question will
appear. This will be by far the most
important question to be asked to

consider the matter thoroughly be
fore marking the coupon and turn
ing same into the Evening News.
The question on Monday will be: "In
event that the Public; Utility Com

city plans in the grade crossing
elimination, do you favor elimina

; Worst Flood in Illinois is Fol
lowed by Greatest Shooting
Affray in Years
BEARD8TOWX, 111.. April 23 (By
The Associated Press).—Out o£ the
worst flood in its history into the
greatest shooting affray this vicinity
has ever experienced the city of
Beardsville und the village of Fred
ericks separated by the flooded Illi
nois river, was joined at dawn to
day in an attempt to exact justice
for the killing at Fredericks late last
night of Sheriff Edward Lashbrook
and Deputies Carl Xelf and Frank
Utter.
Stories of the shooting at Frede
ricks and the subsequent arrest of
twer.ty-eigh Greet •( tl..n hands,
charged with the killing, as they
jumped from a C. B. & Q. train
when it pulled into Beardstown
equalled the wildest fiction.
The maintenance of way workers
three weeks ago. were ordered out
of Beardstown, charged with night
ly trouble-making at Fredericks,
where they were brought by the rail- j
road company to repair tracks.
Sheriff Lashbrook and three depu
ties approached the workers' boxcar!
home to arrest some of them and
warned the others to be peaceful.
A volley heard acress the flooded1
river rang out as the quartet step
ped on the station platform. Three
of the four fell. Deputy J. SI. Kell*
felt the whizz of bullets and jump* »
to safety behind a corner of the sta
tion.
From that point, he says, he saw
Ilia man m a. muu/ iuauc<. mo i
B. & Q. passenger train r.-hich pull- ,
ed in from the north, as the shooting
ceased. Some others ran in the op- |
posite direction.
Across the river Chief of Police
Robert Patterson gathered four of
Ms policemen about him and waited .
for the train scenting trouble. The
workers literally jumped in their
arms. All but four made a wild
scurry to escape. .They plunged :
waist deep into the water, which for
weeks has made the streets impas
sable except to boots and boats.
Fired by the death of his chief
and both fellow deputies. Kelly ask
ed Coroner Harvey to postpone the
Inquest so that he might bend all
his energy to getting the i;.en still at
large. He headed a posse which
killed one man outside Fredericks at '
2:30 this morning. Others were ar
rested at Browning five imSes up the

1 THIS STATE
Industrial Situation in New
Jersey Most Encouraging,
Report to Washington
MAY 1 OUTLOOK GIVEN
Situation in All Parts of Coun- j
try is More Favorable-Still
Some Unemployment
_
CHICAGO. April 29 (By The As
sociated Press).—General improve
ment in the industrial situation, de
scribed in several instances as slow
but steady, particularly over condi
tions as they existed in the winter
months, was indicated In reports
gathered by The Associated Press!
from federal, state, labor and Indus-1
trial leaders in many states of the
union.
Labor commissioners and other
officials in virtually every state from
which reports were received, not'
only declared that unemployment!
had materially been lessened in the
last few months, but nearly all were
optimistic concerning the future,
holding that the opening of season
able lines of work, such as agricul
ture. and road and building con
struction would help greatly in ab
sorbing the surplus of workers.
While no deffnite figure on the
present number of unemployed was
available, approximately 1,350.009
states ftoiH Which estimates were re
ceived. Large industrial states such
as New York. Pennsylvania and Mas
sachusetts contributed more than 1.
000,000 to this total. New York lead
ing with an estimated 600.000 out of
work. The total population of the
sixteen states was in excess of 43,
000,000.
In some cities there was declared
to be a demand for skilled workers,
although the supply of common la
bor, generally was declared to be
larger than the demand. Some state
labor department officials definitely
stated that the unemployment crisis
had been passed in their states and
that a move toward normal condi
tions was In progress. Some local
ities reported that conditions already
virtually were normal, but from
most of the states reporting there
v/as declared to be unemployment in
many lines. Only in a few isolated
instances, however, was ii. declared
to be acute, and the general tenor
of the statements was one of op
timism. particularly with reference
to the future.
A program of intense building
activity and city and state improve
ment work was outlined in reports
from virtually every state, and it is
expected that many idlo workers
would find employment in a gigantic
construction boom which was indi
cated from many sources.
Monthly records of building activ
ity kept by the American contractor
since 1914 were broken by the total
valuation of building permits at
leading cities for Marcij. and the
aggregate of 3262,283.234 for 190
cities was believed by that publica
tion to be the largest for all time.
The number of permits issued last
month in those cities was 62.444.
Statements from some of the large
industrial centers were encouraging.
Detroit reported that employment
in the automobile industry was TO
per cent of normal, while the gener
al percentage of employment was 63
per cent of normal, as compared
with 30 per cent a year ago.
Among the brightest reports were
those from New Jersey, North Da
Rota. umo. i_ian ana «».
though they were accompanied in
one instance by the warning that
no outsiders were in demand. Ne
braska was listed May 1. 1921 among
the states with considerable unem
ployment with 12.000 estimated as
out of work. This year Frank A.
Kennedy, seoretary of the Nebras
ka State Department of Labor said
“Nebraska will be enabled to take
care of all its unemployed in another
four weeks; state and federal agen
cies are beginning to have difficulty
in filling calls for laborers; reports
from the state indicate no unusual
or serious ooifdition.’* He added,
however. "Nebraska will need no
outside labor, unless possibly some
harvest hands late in the summer.'*
There is a “job now open for every
body who wants to work,” in New
Jersey, according to Russell Eld
ridge. federal director of employ
mem in the State Department of
Labor. He added that there is short
age of skilled mechanics all over the
state.
The official report on New Jersey
conditions follows:
Building is about normal in all
parts of the state, according to Rus
sell Eldredge. federal director of
employment in the state department
of labor. Farm labor is scarce, he
said. Business is improving north
•>f Trenton. The southern part of
the state is returning to normal con
ditions more slowly. The potteries
of Trenton are being operated at
about 90 .per cent of normal and
the steel wants at about 70 per cent.
Rubber mills are working on three
shifts.

Daylight Saving Will be Ob
served in City and Most
of County
Tomorrow morning at 2 o'clock,
daylight saving time will go into ef
fect in this city. New, Newark and
other munic\ alities which have
adopted the daylight schedule dur
ing the summer and early fall
months. According to official action
all clocks of the city will be set
ahead one hour at 2 o'clock tomor
row morning. Those who happen
to be up at that hour are also sup
posed to advanc.e the hands on their
i watches and clocks from 2 to *
'o'clock thus conforming with the
new schedule. Those who do not
plan to remain up until 2 a. m. are
instructed to either advance their
clocks one hour before retiring or
else when they arise in the morning.
Perhaps, with few exceptions, the ,
only clocks In the city that will con
tinue to show standard time will be
those in the various railroad sta

state Commerce Commission the
litliiuaua vauuva w —
clocks, but must conform to the
standard time. Therefore, in order
to meet this condition, the railroads
have set back the time of arrival
and departure of their trains so they
conform with both the standard and
daylight saving time.
The daylight saving time in this
city will be observed by the
churches, banks, schools, industries,
business houses, private residents
and amusement places. The ferry
and other vehicles carrying passen

palities will operate on the new
schedule. It is expected there will
be considerable confusion on the
part of passengers using railroad
trains operating between this city
and municipalities which have not
adopted the daylight saving sched

Judge C. C. Hommann this morn

in the local district court will be
