Memorial With Fractured
Left Wrist
TOTTKN'VILLE, June 1.—Loul*
Pagnod, thlrty-threo years old, of
Prince Bay Beach, Is at the Rich
mond Memorial Hospital with a
fractured left wrist, which he says
he received when held up by four
unknown men at Wood avenue and
Arthur Kill road early Monday
morning.
Pagnod walked Into the Totten
vllle police station about 2:45
o'clock that morning and told Llcn
• tenant White that he had been held
up and robbed of $1,500 which he
had on hts person. In ten $100 bills,
seven $50 hills and a hundred or
more lit change. An ambulance was
summoned from the hospital and
Dr. McDonough after attending him
removed him to trie hospital.
Pagnod says that he camo in on
the last train arriving at Tottenvlllo
at 2:14 and after getting off the
train at the Atlantic station started
to walk to the home of his brother,
Arthur Pagnod, In I.ee avenue. He
said that he had come from Great
Kills. An Investigation by Detec
tive Sergeant Schley of the case
has substantiated what the police
thought from the start that Pagnod
was not held up at all and that he
did not have $1,500. Through a
taxi driver It was learned that he
came in on the 12:30 o'clock train
ind that he took him to the home
af his brother, receiving no pay for
his trip. It was also learned that
tie was at Great Kills Sunday and
borrowed $12 from the man that he
worked for there.
He was at the home of his brother
early that morning, but failed to
mention anything about the hold-up
but did say that he was going to the
police station to have his arm fixed
up. The police are of the opinion
that he received the fractured wrist
In a fall and that the faked hold
up was part of a stall to get sym
pathy.

INFLUENCES AT WORK TO
SAVE COUNTY MAN CHARGE
TBENTON, June 1.—Any person
who drives a car while under the in
fluence of liquor, regardless of his
prominence in the community, is
not a fit person to be at large. This
was the statement of Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles William L. Dill,
when he received information yester
day to the effect that "political in
fluence" had been brought to bear in
the prosecution of Dr. Harold Flan
agan. prominent New Brunswick
dentist, on a charge of driving while
under the influence of liquor.
"Prohibition," said the commis
sioner. "instead of proving a bless
I ing. is proving a curse."
! Because of a misunderstanding be
tween counsel, hearing of the case
before the commissioner was post
poned until next Wednesday at
Hlghtstown. It was originally set
for yesterday, but because Harry
Heher, of this city, counsel for the
dentist, was of the impression that
It was next week. Mr. Dill consent
ed to a postponement. More than
fifteen witnesses appeared here for
the state, and in order not to incon
venience them to return next week,
he decided to hear the case in
Hightstown.
According to the records In the
motor vehicle department here. Dr.
Flanagan's car turned over while
he was driving through Hightstown
a couple of weeks ago at the rate of
45 miles an hour. The accident hap
pened when the machine struck the
railroad tracks at Main street. His
(iancee was injured.
Immediately after the accident,
the defendant was arrested by the
chief of police of Hightstown. and
two physicians declared he was in
toxicated. Aaron Dawes, counsel for
the borough, was supposed to have
prosecuted the case, but is reported
to have dropped It. At the request
of the Hightstown witnesses, Com
missioner Dill decided to take It up.
According to Commissioner Dill,
undue influence has been brought
to bear in this case. Inspector Par
ker of the Motor Vehicle Department
has been making an investigation for
more than two weeks obtaining evi
dence.

Residents of So. Amboy Pro
test to Common Council
-Action is Promised
SOUTH AMBOY. June 1.—For
the past several weeks, the prop
erty owners and residents o_n John
and George streets, as well as the
city in general have been annoyed
by a stiffing odor coming from the
shore front and occasioned by hun
dreds of dead tlsh. carried to the
shore with the high tide. The smell
during the warm nights was al
most unbearable, and a petition cir
culated among the residents of that
section below the railroad on John
and George streets, was handed to
the common council at its regular
meeting last night, requesting the
city fathers to do something toward
abating the nuisance.
The communication referred to
the menace as being germ breeding
and necessitated immediate action
on the part of the city officials. The
property owners suggested that the
street department be placed on the
scene with several trucks, so as to
remove the debris occasioned by the
incoming tide.
The communication, on motion of
Councilman Lovely, was referred to
the council as a whole, with the
city solicitor to meet at once and
to formulate a means of removing
the nuisance. It is understood that
the council will detail several work
ers of the city force, with necessary
teams so that the nuisance will bo
relieved.
At the request of Mayor Michael
J. Stanton, Mrs. J. D. Van Pelt,
chairman of the ci*tc department of
the Woman's Club, named Charles
J. Agan, Addison Bergen and Mrs.
Samuel Newton, as members of the
shade tree commission, appointed at
the suggestion of the Woman's Club,
for the safety and encouragement
of trees. shrubbery and plants
throughout the city.
An ordinance creating such a
committee will be adopted at the
next regular meeting of the coun
cil, and the verification of the names
submitted by Mrs. Van Pelt will be
offered by the mayor.
Secretary of the free public li
brary. O. O. Barr, requewed that
tho second half of the yearly allot
ment due the library be deposited
with Richard Stephenson, treasurer.
On motion of Councilman Lovely
the matter was referred to the
finance committee.
A communication from J. Frank
Miller, owner of two lots of ground
on Main street near I’otter street
and adjoining the residence of for
mer Councilman Jacob Shucy, was
received and filed on motion of
Councilman Delaney.
The communication stated that
the complainant was taxed $880 for
his lots, while the lot adjoining his
were improved and were only taxed
?660.
Councilman Disbrow stated that
while the complaint was being sent
through the wrong channels, the
man was justified in his action. He
cited the incident as being proof of
the need of an equality in assess
ment in the city. The councilman
stated that for the past several
days he was divulging into assess
ments throughout the city, and espe
cially on Main street, adding that
within a short time he would be in
a position to place facts and figures
before the council. On motion of
Councilman Stockton, the clerk was
authorized to acquaint Mr. Miller
with the fact that the County Board
of Taxation would handle his and
like cases.
Councilman tSockton brought to
the attention of the council body at
the request of the property owners
on Main street, near Wolff's Switch,
the condition of the switch occa
sioned by defective frogs in the
tracks. Mr. Stockton stated that
the residents in that vicinity as evi
dence of the broken parts of rail
show where their walls, have been
damaged by the jarring which is
occasioned by the cars running over
the sections. On motion of Mr.
Stockton, the clerk was instructed
to communicate with the officials of
the Public Service Railway Com
pany, acquainting them with the
facts in the case and urging action
to be taken on the matter at once.
Mayor M. J. Stanton at the meet
ing last night named John Thomas
a member of the Board of Health,
to flu the unexpired term of Coun
cilman Thomas Lovely, resigned.
The name of John Tomacewski. pre
sent secretary, was submitted for
approval for another full term. The
consent of the council was unani
mous in the matter.
An orilinanco covering improve
ments to David street. wrest of Stev
ens avenue, was on motion of Coun
cilman Lovely, taken up on its first
reading. The ordinance provides
for the paving of sidewalks on the
street and curbing of blue stone.
The ordinance provides that prop
erty owners, anxious to do their own
work, may have permission by noti
fying the council of their desire and
conforming with the rules and speci
fications drawn by City Engineer A.
McMichaels. The work must be com
pleted and inspected within thirty
days of the filing of the notice. The
citv engineer, under the terms of the
ordinance, is sole judge as to wheth
er or not the work is satisfactory.
An ordinance dealing with an
amended section of the Jersey Coast
Ferry franchise supposed to be taken
up on its second reading last night
was on the advice of Mayor Stanton
laid over, until such time as the
members of the Ferry Company meet
the council Just what the Ferry
Company intends to do in the mat
ter, has become a current topic
Many doubt that the proposed ferry
will become a realization for many
months to come. It has been un
derstood that the completion of the
terminals and operation would com
mence no later than Decoration Day.
The question as to the legality of
hiring towns people to make what
ever repairs needed on the storm
sewer on Broadway, between David
and Henry streets, created a doubt,
when used at the business meeting
of the council on last Friday night.
It was the Intention of the mem
bers of the council, to. if at all pos
sible. place as many idle men
throughout the city, at work on the
repairs, when the legality of the
nlans was questioned. Accordingly.
City Solicitor Francis P. Coan pre
sented in writing the following
opinion:
-May 27. 1322.
“Common Council.
“South Amboy, N. J.
“Gentlemen:
“Replying to your query' made
lait night of the right of the cltv
to have work done by its own em
ployes without advertising the con
tract, I am of the opinion that th‘s
is specially excepted from the pro
visions of the act requiring adver
tiacwent for work In excess of
“IX, however, the material with i
which th« city employes are to do
the work *«■ to cost more than $500
then It vpiuld be necessary to ad
vertise fdr bids for the material
alone.
"I might add that all work done
must be on the basis of an eigh>
hour day and the wages must not he
less than the prevailing dally rate of
wages ill this locality.
"Kespectfully,
"h’KANCTS r. COAX.
"City Solicitor"
The city solicitor also ventured
his opinion on two other matters
which have been the cause of con
siderable debate throughout the city
for several weeks, one bearing un
firemen being exempt from jury
duty, and the other whether or not
ex-soldiers and sailors are exempt
from a $500 personal property as
sessment. The opinion of the city
solicitor meets with the hopes of
those Interested in both cases. Witn
regard to the $500 stipulation on
personal and real tax. Jlr. Coan
writes;
"Chapter 276 of the laws of 1922
exempts from poll tax and an ag
gregate of not to exceed $500 val
uation of real and personal tax ail
honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors on proper claim made there
for. This applies to service in any
war or rebellion and extends to the
widows of such soldiers and sailors
during their widowhood.
"The clerk of the Supreme Court
advises me that 'so far there has
been no opinion filed holding uncon
stitutional the tax act Insofar as the
same relates to the exemption of
soldiers and sailors.’
"The manner In which the claim
must be made Is outlined In the tax
ac' and must be strictly followed."
With reference to the exemption
of firemen from jury duty the solici
tor states:
"The Jury law. In that particular,
reads as follows; 'That any person
w'ho has served seven years consec
utively as a member of the fire de
partment of any city of this state
which is authorized to organize and
control a fire department shall be
thereafter exempt from serving as a
Juror, providing he shall have filed
if the office of the clerk of the coun
ty in which he shall reside a certi
ficate of such service, made by the
chief of such fire department or by
the city clerk of such city.’
"The act for the incorporation of
volunteer fire companies provides
tha*. any person who shall have
served as a member of a fire com
pany for a period of seven years
shall be exempt from serving as a
Juror, but that he shall not be en
titled to such exemption unless ho
has filed In the county clerk's office
a certificate of such exemption. The
latter act is the later act and would
be likely the governing act."

MATERIAL WAR
Squabble Before Highway
Commission Between Rival
Bidders
TRENTO*. June 1:—Whether pi
not the State Highway Commission
should award the contract for the
supplying of a road binder to Mor
ris Young, agent for the materia]
known as glutrin rather than to the
J. S. Robeson. Inc., of this city,
which submitted an estimate on mi
terial called lignin binder was the
question debated before the board
here yesterday by Republican House
Leader Evans, of Passaic county
and former Republican House Lead
er and now Mercer County Prosecu
tor Oliphant. Evans appeared for
the Robeson interests and Olipham
for Young. The commission laid
the matter over for conference and
future decision.
The binder is a material laid on
roads to keep them in good shape
and is particularly applicable to th'
maintenance of gravel roads. The
highway commission advertised in
its specifications for "Glutrin" and
Young presented and estimated of
10.8 cents a gallon with a total bid
of $69,723.23 for the order. The
Robeson concern bid 10.5 a gallon
and presented a total estimate ol
$67,588.57. The Robeson company’s
offer was to supply lignin binder.
The highway commission obtained
an opinion from the attorney gener
al which apparently held that the
commission could award the con
tract to Young because he guaran
teed to supply "Glutrin." which was
sperifled in the advertisements.
Mr. Evans, as counsel for the
Robeson concern, yesterday con
tended before the highway board
that it should award the contract to
his client inasmuch as it presented
the lowest bid. He contended that
there is no difference between glu
trin and the lignin binder supplied
by his concern and that numerous
chemical analyses of the two ma
terials have demonstrated this. In
cluding one by the laboratory of the
State Highway Commission. He
pointed out that glutrin is simply a
trade name used. He claimed fur
ther that Young could not sell hi«
material at the price he quoted the
company and make a profit. Rather
he said the competiting firm would
lose money and questioned whether
any material firm was in the bus.
ness for philanthropic motives.
Mr. Oliphant In replying for
Young charged that the Robeson tvd
had not been made in good faith.
“The attorney general held that
Young was the only bidder who had
complied with the specifications by
estimating on glutrin." he said. Th
commission was also told that it
was ridiculous to say that the Y'ouns
bid meant the losa of money to the
one presenting it. He denied tht
charge of closed specification.-,
claiming that anybody could gel
glutrin to supply and that the high
est courts in New Jersey have up
held the same kind of advertise
ments as the one of the highway
commission in this instance.
"The highway commission knowi
glutrin and what it will do,” contin
ued Mr. Oliphant. “The board doc:
not know anything about the pro
duct of the other competiting con
cern.”
Eyans in a brief reply said tha
tne Young bid indicated he had tin
inside price and that nobody elst
could compete with him. He sail
five companies have the lignin bind
er for sale and only one offers glu
trin. Glutrin was used on the gravel
roads in South Jersey last wintei
and held them together in very good
shape, according to the engineers oi
the road department.

of the leading figures in the debaf<
which took place at South Oranjtf
Monday night, at which time he de
fended Ehe high school, the question
being. “Resolved, that Strikes an
Illegal." Mr. Murphy was a mem
ber of the negative side and wi«
against the college. His vigor
aroused the hones of the high school
and brought his class to victory.
He spoke about the strikes thal
are now taking Place, making his
main point that the reason the men
strike because they need mo**-2
money with which to support the
family. The whole thing is that the
striker is so backward in thought
that he cannot gain enough sen*-’
to reason out some of his fault*,
declared Murphy during the course
of the debate.

ASKS PITY FOR
OLD PREACHERS
ATLANTIC CITY. June 1.—Ask
ing pity for "the poor old preach
er" is a "rank injustice only suc
ceeds in getting his position that
much more despised." Rev. Dr. F. E.
Smith of Indianapolis, representing
, the Disciples of Christ, told the an
nual conference of Interdenomina
tional Secretaries of Ministerial Re
lief of Protestant Churches here to
day.
"Time must be taken to educate
the church as to the justice and
strategy of the care of her work
ers." he asserted in discussing min
isterial pensions.
‘Trie business world has long ago
accepted the sound sense of such
provision. It is an awkward circum
stance that the church whose work
ers have largely brought about such
benefits for the workers in business
should last of all confer these bene
fits upon her own.
"The preachers must learn to
speak out. not for themselves as they
mistakenly think, but for their
comrades in service whose work is
done. The preacher while protec
ting himself, in his modesty, from
foolish criticism, denies the only
voice that can be raised on behalf
of godly men and women who have
spent their all in the ministry.”
