$30,000 Asked in Action
Started by Mexican Oil Co.
in Supreme Court
IS FILED BY STRICKER
Comes as Result of War
Against Erection of Oil
Tanks in Borough
NEW BRUNSWICK, May 3:
The Mexican I’ctroleum Corpora
tion. through Joseph E. Strieker,
has brought a suit against the bor
ough of Roosevelt to recover dam
wages fixed at $30,000. The case is
■ believed to be the windup of the
r fight between the borough and the
company on the laying of railroad
tracks in Roosevelt. According to
the complaint filed by the plaintiffs
the company suffered damage on
each of three instances when men
__1 ,... „ a nnflne tVln nrrlo pg
of the borough went on the company
property to' open a street.
In the suit which has been filed
against the borough the corporation
c’ulms the possession of the streets
and demands *30,000 for damages
sustained when the borough on three
different occasions attempted to
open up the streets which, it is
claimed, arc dedicated streets and
never been released.
The trouble started during the
latter part of February, when a peti
tion was received by the borough
council from property owners, re
questing the council to take some
action to restrain the Mexican Pe
troleum Corporation from erecting
large oil storage tinks on the prop
erty. An investigation was started
by the council, which resulted In
finding of a map recorded in the
county clerk’s office in New Bruns
wick, which had been fllea in 1832,
at which time the property was laid
out and borough given three streets,
the rights of which have never been
released, it is alleged. For this rea
son it was claimed that the oil com
pany had no right to use the prop
erty dedicated as streets without the
consent of the borough.
The Petroleum corporation laid a
railroad track over the alleged
streets and the borough took excep
tion to this move and demanded
L. tl-at the tracks be removed, this the
■ corporation failed to do. so the bor
w ough tore up a portion of the track
that was alleged to be across the
atreets. This action on the part of
the borough brought forth the fig'nt
in the court of chancery and injunc
tions and counter injunctions were
served. When the case was finally
heard by Vice-Chancelor Backes. he
ordered that the suit be started in
the lower court in order to decide
the ownership of the streets.
Vice Chancellor's Advice
ROOSEVELT, ‘ May 3.—Tho suit
of the Mexican Petroleum Corpora
tion which has been filed through
Prosecutor Joseph E. Strieker,
•omes as a result of the order of
Vice Chancellor Backes at the hear
ing in Newark, when he instructed
the. corporation to bring suit to
thrash out the question as to wheth
er or not the borough of Roosevelt
or the Mexican Petroleum Corpora
tion own the streets in what is
knnwn tho Gantz tract and upon
which the company started to erect
a number of oil storage tanks but,
were stopped by a temporary injunc
tion granted the bprough.
WOMEN SPEND LESS ON
CLOTHES THIN MEN, IS CUIM
ATLANTIC CITY, May 3.—That
the average woman spends less on
her clothes than the man and was a
better saver was announced today by
a Miss Mary Donaldson of the Nation
l-nl Conference of Mutual Savings
^Banks in session here. Miss Doiad
son, of the home service department
of the Bridgeport Bank, reported
that women whose husbands earn
between $2,000 and $3,000 a year
nre much more economical with
their clothes than men.
The moral obligations of legiti
mate financial institutions to protect
the country against financial sharp
ers, were pointed out by Orrin Lester
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company and former director, of sav
ings of the United States treasury, in
an address before the main body of
the national conference.
“The public wants "to be advised
upon Questions of investment and
protected against crooks. who
through clever sales talk are con
stantly taking away the hard earned
savings of unsuspecting people and
giving them nothing in return.’ he
laid.
“I have the name contempt for the
ir.an who takes away another man's
life earnings as I have for a man
who takes another man’s life, and
he should be punished in the same
way by the law."

Sin Tein is filled with wounded,
many dying from lack of medical
attention.
While Chang has been successful
in this action there has been no ap

in preparation for a decisive action.
Meanwhile word comes througr.

preparing to send aid to Chang so
Lin. He will strike at the psycho
logical moment, sending troops
through either Shanghow or Nan
king, the route pending on the out
come of the presc t conflict.
Today's advices to the American
military attache, state that General
Wu's main army appears to be en
gaged in a drive toward Tien Tsin.
Severe fighting occurred along the
Hun river which indicates that un
its of Wu’s forces are crossing the
country Tao-Ting Fu, toward the
northeast.
Artillery firing is also reported to
have opened along a front couth of
Tien Tsin on the Bukow railroad.
Wu Tai Fu's drive toward Tien
Tsin is designed to isolate Chang

lines off from the sea. Success of
this move would result in the cutting
off of Wu's forces in Tien Tsin.

ARSENAL BUILDINGS
*nAi a vva^Ii iMty s. — inrougn i
the efforts of four fire companies a 1
blaze that destroyed a grocery stoie ,
at Chee'sequakes last night was kept !
from spreading to the United States 1
government ordnance depot at Moi

that the Morgan plant would be
consumed if sparks from the firs I
spread to the woods, which leads l
directly to the Morgan plant. If thrs
had occurred, it was felt that noth
ing could stop the sweep of the
flames until the plant had been '
reached and consumed.
The fire, which started at 11
o'clock, destroyed the grocery store
of Hyman Schechansky. of State
street, Perth Amboy. The business I
was run by his sister. How the blaze
started is a mystery as there wras no I
signs of fire when the store was
closed up in the early evening. The i
building was a two-story affair, the t
first story being of brick construe- I

Uncovered by Mrs. John Wood who

Five fire companies responded to
he alarm which was sent by tele*

ry. Two of these companies were
rom the ordnance depot, two from
dorganville and one from Freneau.
Vhile making the run to the fire, the
'reneau engine crashed Into a tree,
•r using considerable damage to the
ront of the machine and delaying it
n reaching the fire. This was the |
irst time Freneau engine has ar.s

Although the companies found it
mposslblc to save the building the
Iremen did succeed In preventing

Effort of Aldermen to Change

Unsuccessful
The effort made hy the Board of
Aldermen early this year to have
llaurer known In the future as
"Perth Amboy, Maurer station." has
not been successful, a majority of
the plants located in that section of
the city being opposed to the idea
of changing the name. The change
of name was the suggestion of Alder
man-at-Barge Richard J. Galvin and
letters were sent to each of the in
dustries located in that portion of
Perth Amboy requesting them to
change their letterheads to read
"Perth Amboy.” instead of
"Maurer."
The Central railroad was also re
quested to change the wording on
its time table so that "Maurer Sta

instead of just the word "Maurer.”
The railroad, however, did not com
ply with the request.

Freeholders Walter Quakenbush, Di
rector William S. Dey. clarence M.
Haight and George Applegate said If
did not want 10 oppose the proposed
"new route" but tbe question ■" tlfr
considered was whether this f„
would cost more than tbe old route
plan. It was stated by the delegation
that the p'an was to have Middlesex
county pay some of the cost, county
and city bearing it equally, each to
pay about $37.5u0. or $75,000 for the
entire contract.
It was explained by the officials
that a lot of tilling will have to be
Jone if ihe proposed "new route” of
Senator Larson is adopted. Mr. Rich
ardson and County Engineer Fred C.
Schneider said that It had been esti
mated the county would have to
spend more money under the Lar
son plan.
The delegation also declared that
it had not been advised of the in
tention to change the extension's
■ ourse and it was hinted that it is
being suggested for the benefit of the
Harber Asphalt Company, which has
on ih© “new route."
"Wt ought to be advised of the
Plan© when they are made,*' com
mented one of the county officials,
rather tartly.

he understood that on the new align
ment th© State Highway Commission

NEW BRUNSWICK. May 3.—Al
though a conference between the
state highway commission and the
Board of Freeholders and County
Engineer Fred C. Schneider took
place at Trenton yesterday, little was
accomplished other than the decision
to hold a hearing at a later date,
when it is hoped that an agreement
will he reached on the Amboy ave
nue paving proposition at Perth Am
boy.
The freeholders objected to the
plan submitted by Morgan F. Lar
son. city engineer of Perth Amboy,
that provides for th- elimination of
the wide curve in the road at th©
edge of the city and the substitu
tion of a new road across th©
meadow. The freeholders maintain
ed that the plan would entail an
expenditure of $73,000 qt more for
cuts and fills and that the job wouUI
not be completed in less than two
or three year©. Their plan was to
go ahead with the repair of th*
present roadway and have it com
pleted within the year.
At the public hearing to be held
shortly it is planned to get the state
highway commission, the freehold
ers and Perth Amboy representatives
together on the proposition and
reach a settlement.
