TURNED IN A
FALSE ALARM.
Box 45 was Unlocked NJ Is out of
Order Matter had Been Re-
ported Several Times.
RESPONDED PROMPTLY.

A false alarm was sounded from box
45 about 10 O'Clock Saturday night.
The fire department answered the
alarm with the usual promptness, but
npon their arrival failed to find any
fire nor the person who turned in the
alarm. The firemen returned to their
houses and the alarm fire out" was
quickly turned in.
Upon investigation it was learned
from the police that this box has been
reported out of order for long time.
That is. the outer door, which ought
to be opened with the regulation fire
key and closed only by the chief of
the fire department, cannot be locked
at all. Consequently an alarm might
be turned in at any time by any one
who desired to create trouble without
being discovered.

VETERANS DECORATE
COMRADES GRAVES.
Memorial Day Observed Perth Aby on Former Occasions
Grand Armv Growing Sn1qSonS of Veterans Fire the VOL
ieyS at the Graves--FIOwerS in Full Bloom

Flags floated in the breeze, the vet
Grams marched, the drum corps played,
graves were decorated as in years
passed and thus Memorial Dav came
and went in Perth Amboy. Of course
there was the usual number OF ball
games, picnics. outings and general
celebration, but the day and all it
means, passed unchanged.
The unusual warm, dry weather had
brought out the roses and flowers
which usually do not appear until
June and the cemetery was beautiful.
Flowers were everywhere. They were
all sizes and colors, arranged with all
shapes imaginable. Even though the
sun did not shine, the cemetery has
seldom presented such a beautiful
appearance.
The most noticeable feature at the
Memorial Day exercises of late years
is the diminishing number of veterans
who participate. Saturday only about
twenty of Major Dandy Post were in
line with four of the Relief Corps.
The Westminster Cadets, the sons of
veterans, the drum corps and the
wagons loaded with school children
filled out the line so that the parade
was quite presentable.
After decorating the graves in st.
Peters yard the volley was fired by
the sons of veterans. The parade then
proceeded to Alpine cemetery where
the Woodbridge post had arrived ahead
of them. The latter had their flowers
in all designs and were beautiful.
The local veterans placed large bou-
quets which were equally pretty. A
brief service was held at the soldier's
plot several girls sang and the vetcr-
ans departed, each one. recalling the
deeds of valor performed by their de-
parted comrades. The scene was
touching for it was realized that be-
fore another Decoration Day flowers
swonld be placed Oh the graves OF some
of those who so nobly assisted in the
work Saturday.
st. Mary's cemetery was visited and
graves there were treated in the same
generous and thoughtful manner.
There was no other display. Flags
were raised throughout the city,
many of them at half mast. All was
quiet and the true meaning of the day
seemed to be manifested.

Perth Amboy came off with honors

Mr.. Kleimandt built in twelve days,
beat all the launches in her class over
the six and half mile measured
course made by the cl#b and came
thirteen and fourteen minutes ahead
of the Cadmus and banana respec-
lively.
The first prize was a taft sail log,
the second, compass, and the third
was two life preservers. At the end
of the race there was. nothing too good
for the boys from Amboy when re-
freshments were served to all.

The Water Committee continued
their investigation into the cause of
the low water pressure at the Smith
homestead fire, at the committee meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen Friday
night by taking the testimony of the
two engineers from Eagleswood and
Runyon stations. Their conclusions
are that the pump, which refused to
work, is to blame.
Both engineers testified that they
did everything possible to increase
the pressure as soon as they received
word by telephone. The engineer at
the Eagleswood ran up and opened
the stand pipe, which had been kept
IN reserve, as soon as he heard the
alarm and had the pump started BY
the time he received the telephone
message.
The pressure was also increased at
Runyon with but little result at this
end and then it was discovered that
the Eagleswood pump was not doing
its work. The next day this pump
was tested in the presence Of Super
intendent Burns, when it worked all
right and they are still at loss to
account for its failure to work the day
before when it was needed.

Grey Went to Pittsburg.

The Marions celebrated Decoration
Day by winning two games of ball.
In the morning they prevailed over
New Brunswick and in the afternoon
they were victorious in the game with
the Crescents.
The Marions had comparatively an
easy time in winning from the team
that New Brunswick sent here. The
visitors were weak at short and at
third and the locals were not slow to
takes advantage of the gaps in their
opponents IS infield. Beside this they
punched their hits off Bradley rather
freely and sent eight earned runs
across the pan. Meyer, a clever twirl-
er, was in the box in place of Grey,
who has signed with Pittsburg, and
he did good work. He famed twelve
of the visitors and mad them always
at his mercy.
In the seventh he eased up little
and allowed four runs to be scored,
but these with run in the sixth were
all the New Brunswick players got.
The hitting of Meyer, Calvin, Lyons
and Moorehead and a fine catch by
Calvin were the games features.
Meyer sent the ball over the fence in
the first inning scoring Moorehead.
CALVIN caught foul fly by leaning
over the fence into the grand stand.

fielding. Moorehead and Calvin led
