In an interview with J.. j. Scully,
Sunday evening, it was learned that
the tramp, whom he supposed at first
"a the one called Weary Willio'' IN

that Mr.. Scully took the trouble to go
to Matawan to let parties living there
and who were said to be relatives,
know about him. 1t turned out, how
ever, that the real Weary Willie is
still alive at that place. Mr.. Scully
still has the body Of the man at his
morgue. He SAYS he always keeps the
unknown as long as possible as they
may have O mother or other relatives
somewhere waiting for them. Mr..
Scully has a warm heart and it is
pleasing to listen to his idea ON that
subject in this fast age when it is
Everybody for themselves" with SO

STORY MADE
EXCITEMENT
People Quickly Bought up the
Copies of the Evening
News.
COMMENTS ABOUT DOCK

There WAS quite an exciting time in
this borough after the Perth Amboy
Evening News arrived Saturday. Men
cougregated in the streets and barber
shops, and talked over the change to
be made, as announced exclusively in
the News, on the docks of the +. R.
r. company by having machinery 10
do theswork instead of employing men
for that purpose, as Mt present.
The merchants asked if it was really
true and would it be a benefit to the
place or otherwise? They feared the
latter. AS for the employees, they re-
fused to believe what some called q
flake story"
The News sold like hot cakes and
every copy was gone from the stores
even before their regular customers
: were served.
There is no doubt but what a great
many of those who will lose their
present positions will DO given worl,
at braking OF something else. For
some time the word had beon that the
coal docks would be removed from
here. This disproves that at any rate.
1t is best to look on tho bright side
and hope for the best. Some have put
it in O pathetic way about the mems
little homes that they have built, etc.
That is true, but while one svmpa-
thizss with them still one cannot help
but ask the question, how many of
these men, who, if they were offered
a higher salary with steady employ
ment elsewhere, would hesitate about
leaving the company? So it is well
not to throw too much blame on their
employers, who try to lower expenses.
No doubt, as said before, things will
work all right for the men.

COURT SAYS GRAVES
CAN BRING ACTION
Receiver of Loan and Building
Association Granted Per.
mission to Sue.

Judge Bum yesterday issued an or
der giving Edward B. Graves, receiver
of the North American Saving, Loan
and Building association, permission to
bring suit against Julius Schutt, Ellery
c. Holiday or any other member of the
Western Realty and Investment Com
pany of Minneapolis for the recovery
of $4,000 which Receiver Graves al
leges he was defrauded out of by a
land deal entered into between him
and the officers of the Western Realty
and Investment company.
Mr.. Graves alleges that he held prop
erty in Ogden, Utah, which julius
Schutt offered to sell for him. it being
represented to Mr.. Graves that a pur-
chaser had been found who was willing
to pay $4,000 for the property
Mr.. Graves alleges that Schutt rep
resented that all the INTEREST he, or the
western Realty and Investment COM
pany had in the sale was it's regular
commission of $275, but that he learned
later that Schutt had sold the property
for $4,000 instead of $4,000, and that
the extra $4,000 was never accounted
for to Mr.. Graves.
A few days ago the Western Realty
and Investment company applied to the
court for the removal of Mr.. Graves as
receiver of the North American Saw
lngs, Loan and Investment company,
charging that he was not conducting
the business in a proper manner.
