be put in more definite form tomor-
row, when another directors meet
ing will be held and the plan ratified

the recent absorption of the Guar

disclosed. The Guaranty Trust com
pany was organized In 1891 and has
total deposits of more than $685.

$4,000, 900. Like the Guaranty
Trust company, its capital and sur
plus are 100000 each.

The capital stock of the new com.
pany probably will be fixed at So

The present premises of the Fifth

branch of the combined compan'
les while the main office will be IL

MADISON HAS
RAISED CITY'S
ASSESSME

With the taxes in Perth Amboy
this year showing only a slight in
crease the township Of Madison, the
city officials say, is evidently deter
mined to illustrate what really can
be done in the way of raising assess
ments when it sends the city a bill
for taxes on the water works proper
ty at Runyon showing 100 per
cent increase over last year.
The city fathers have the matter
in hand and will leave no stone un-
turned to have this claim reduced.
The matter will undoubtedly be re-
ferred to City Attorney Hommann
Monday night at the session of coun-
Gil to take up with the Madison town
ship authorities and If necessary the
State Board of Taxation and the
supreme court In order to have the
tax levy placed at some reasonable
figure. Last years tax bill was
aro0nd $3.50 This year it is said to
be over $500.

LARGE
STORE HOUSE
IN FRONT ST

Among the several improvements to
be made at the Perth Amboy Dry Dock
Company's yard during the coming
months will be the completion of new
store house. The company has pur-
chased the former Allen property at
the southwest corner of Broad and
frame structure formerly occupied as
q saloon and hotel which will be con-
verted into a modern warehouse. The
property which fronts a hundred feet
on Broad street and iftyyfeet on Front
street, was sold by William A. Allen,
Of New York, through the agency of
Burke & Bolger. The building is owt
stories high and contains fourteen
rooms. 1t was formerly occupied as a
hotel and a smaller building on the
southerly side of it was occupied as a
fish store.
Title has just been passed to the
former Schantz aud Eckert property at
the southeast corner Of Front and
Washington streets which was recently
purchased by the Perth Amboy Dry
Dock Company. This, it is understood,
will be used as an extension to the yard
of the company in which new vessels
are to be erected. The need of the ex-
tension was demonstrated a few weeks
ago at the completion Of one of the
largest earfioats ever constructed in
this part of the state. This land was
sold by commission for the owners
through the Burke & Bolger agency.
Aside from these improvements there
will be others, including the probable
erection of new dock, as told in the
NEWS recently.

about two feet Of sand covered his
mead. Fisher with his hands dug down
and made an opening so that the young
man could breathe His cries for help
were heard by Mrs. Ruddert, who was
on the floor above. She ran out and
summoned the electric light men. They
came and with their long shovels sue

are the result of Prosecutor Boor-

far as the liquor traffic laws are con-
cerned. At his instance number of
men, accompanied by heads. of the
David Detective Agency and officers
from the Perth Amboy police depart
ment, made raids on the Perth AM
boy places. Numerous instances
were found where the law with re-
gard to Sunday selling was being
violated. In places they confiscated
whiskey and beer as evidence to be
used against the indicted saloonkeep-
ers If they stand trial. Sufficient
evidence, it was thought, was gath
cred to convict eleven of the saloon
keepers, but the grand jury only saw
fit to hand down eight indictments
after hearing the evidence.

the works today. Yesterday the girls
who are paid by the hour, made a
demand upon officials of the COM
pany for increased pay. The de-
mands were refused and this morn
ing the girls did not start work as
usual. Their absence prevented men
at the plant from doing their work
and the plant is closed today.
When A. Metzner, head of the
firm, was asked about the strike this
afternoon, he said he expected 1t
would be over by Monday. He ex-
poets the same employees back at
work on that date 1t is likely that
concessions will be made whereby
an increase, though probably not as
large as that demanded. will be

JOSEPH KUHN
SUICIDE CASE
MYSTERY ENDS

The mystery over the suicide of
the late Joseph Kuhn, of Wood
bridge, year ago today Is at last
cleared up in the petition of Mrs.
Elizabeth Nickelsky, Administrative
or the Kuhn estate to the Middlesex
County Orphans Court to declare the
said estate insolvent. Mrs Nickel
SKY Is. daughter. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Kuhn was a promi-
nent banker in the Woodbridge dis
trict among the foreign born popu-
lation, his principle business being
the sending of money to the native
lands of his patrons. On November
t19, 1909, Kuhn went to New York
and registered at the Capital Hotel,
Houston street and Bowery. Before
going up to his room he said to the
clerk, Don't wake me, ] am going
to sleep for a long time" Later
three shots were heard and Kuhn
was taken to- the st. Vincent's hos
pital in a dying condition. He died
the next day. Before dying Kuhn
was asked the reason for his rash
act Family trouble, that's ali, he
Is reported to have said. Kuhn 8
wife had been dead for about five
years and although he had been liv-
ing with his children, this reason for
the suicide was not given much Gre
dit.
At the time of his death Kuhn was
thought to be in comfortable finan-
cial circumstances, owning as he did
considerable property in Wood
bridge, including about ten build
ings. His outstanding obligations,
however, were apparently consider
ably more than anticipated, ns may
be inferred from the petition OF his
Administrative, Mrs. Nickelsky, to
the Orphans court for a decree of
insolvency.
Mrs. Nickelsky was made admins
tratrix of the estate by Surrogate
DAILY and instructed on November
"a, 1910, to notify the creditors oi
the estate to bring in their claims
within nine months. This period
having elapsed, it was found that the
claims greatly exceeded the assets of
the estate.
Through her counsel, Joseph E.
Stricker, Mrs. Nickelsky therefore
petitioned the court for the insol-
vency decree. Judge Lyon yesterday
set Friday, January 20 1911, as q
date for hearing OF the case as to
whether or not the decree should be
granted. According to the rule of
the court, Mrs Nickelsky as admin
istratrix must file a statement OF the
assets of the estate with the court
at least twenty days before the hear
