mencement of the Perth Amboy City
Hospital was carried out with appro-
pirate exercises and Miss Martha M.
Borkowska and Miss Sadie B. Ryan
were graduated from the ranks of
the institution with high honors.
Commencement this year was more
notable than ever before, as It was
the first time that two nurses have
been graduated together.
Long before 1t was time for the
exercises to start the edifice was
filled and soon there was not one va
cant seat. About 1925 o'clock Miss
B. M. Bamber, superintendent of the
hospital, Miss Borkowska, Miss
Ryan and the Ave other nurses OF
the institution entered and took
seats at the extreme right Of the
! platform. The nurses were gowned
in the regulation blue and white
dress, all wearing white caps. Next
to the nurses sat the members of the
medical staff of the hospital, while
to the extreme left were seated the
managing committee. On the ex-
treme front Of the platform, from
left to right, were President South
r. Harrington, Rev. G. w. Hanson
pastor of the Danish M. q. church;
DIR. Britton D. Evans, superintend
ent of the Morris Plains Hospital fol

on the subject of Trained Nurses. -

GIVEN A HEARING TODAY
--MAY BE PAR0LED

Hyman Schwartz and BENJAMIN Kap-
lowitz, the two fourteen-ye ear-old boys
who disappeared Monday with a 800
diamond ring, wedding ring and a
diamond pin belonging to the former 8
mother, were arrested in New York
yesterday and this morning were ar,
raigned before Recorder Pickersgill on
charge Of grand larceny preferred by
Joseph Schwartz, father of the first
named youth. They were held by the
recorder to await the action of Pro-
bate Officer Russell Watson.
With the intention of reaching Chi
cago and later seeing the west, both
boys left here Monday after noon. Be-
fore departing, Schwartz secured part
of his mothers jewelry, according to
his own confession, and with capital
Of "a, which Kaplowitz had saved, they
departed for New York to dispose of
sale, the youths intended to purchase
tickets for the west
Getting rid of the jewelry was not
such an easy task, however, as the boys
expected. Upon arriving in the metrop-
oils, jewelry store was visited and the
diamond ring sold for $50, $40 of which
was received in cash with a promise Of
the remainder on the following day.
Instead Of taking the $50 on the fol
lowing day, however, Schwartz held out
for more, and when 1t was denied, he
returned the 500 and the ring was
given up. His mothers wedding ring
Schwartz sold for 81.
Monday night the boys slept in q
Bowery lodging house. They had lit
tie to eat yesterday morning as their
cash was rapidly giving out. Losing
their nerve and eager to return home,
the runaways walked into the First Dis
trict Detective Bureau later in the
morning and gave themselves up. De-
tective Sergeant Huff, Of the local po
lice department brought them to this
city last night.
Schwartz's father appeared before
Recorder Pickersgill this morning and
said his boy had been away from home
some time ago for period Of six weeks
He refused to furnish bail for the boy
and asked that he be kept in the lock
up until the arrival of the probation

Tons in ALI
$6 BEFORE AUGUST 1 AND
$6.25 AFTERWARD

At last nights meeting of the
Board Of Education, the contract for
supplying 300 tons of coal to the
schools for the current year, was
again distributed equally among the
twelve bidders at the uniform price
OF Sc per ton for egg, stove or
chestnut coal delivered before Au-
gust /, and $6.25 per ton for the
same kinds of coal delivered after

Despite the objections of former
School Commissioner f. A. Seaman,
who last year offered a suggestion
whereby he thought the combine
might be broken up, and his sug-
gestions along that line made to the
board in committee session a month
ago, the board has again been forced
to patronize the combination deal
ers. Last year the school board was
forced to pay 1925 per ton for coal,
because bids were not received until
August. BY placing the orders
early in the year and receiving the
fuel during the summer months,
however, the board will expend a
considerably less sum this year, in
proportion to that Of last year 1t
| Is the intention of the commission
ers to purchase as many tons as pos
sible during the warm months, at
the rate of Sc per ton. 1t was stated
last night that at least 500 of the 1 :
300 tons could be stored in the eel
lars of the schools, and the board
will be compelled to purchase less
than 500 tons at the rate of S625
The bidders, as announced last
night, were: G. M. Peterson, G. P

bine, departure for the regula
course was made in receiving tn,
bids this year. Instead of opening

received and opened at a meeting
of the building committee on Apri

chase from the combine.

past few years has been medical in
spector in the schools, was reap
pointed at last nights meeting 70

three parts-social, Industrial and po-

first row, in the opinion, today, of

politicians of England, will result
from his objection to the anti-Cath-
Ollie character of the oath that he

the anti-Catholics, who form en-
overwhelming part Of the popula-
tion, are opposing any change in the
oath. 1t is believed the kings attl-
tude will start a religious contros
versy.
King George v. has informed his
ministers that he strongly objects to
part of the declaration he is to
make when he first meets parlias
ment after his accession. The por-
tion of the oath which the king des
sires omitted is the reference to the
Pope, which has long been offensive
to the Catholics of the realm. IT ID
