Because of reports which have

and make charges against the pro-

Chief Burke cleaned up the city IN

the proprietors of various places

FIERCE STORM
ONLY LASTED
HALF AN HOUR
Peculiar Prank of Weather
Came Without Warming
a Baby BIizzard.
70 MILE AN HOUR GALE
CAUSES DAMAGE

Preceded by moonlight and fol-
lowed by moonlight, Perth AmDoy
experienced most peculiar storm OF
about half an hours duration around
Z o'clock last night, when with the
wind blowing at a velocity of seventy
miles an hour a snowstorm of un-
usual density descended and threat
ened to put the blizzard of '8S out
Of the record class.
Shortly before 7 o'clock the moon
was shining in all its glory. Then
clouds gathered and a high wind
sprung up. About ten minutes to
seven those who happened to be off
Smith street could see in the sky re-
fiection of the white way" wall
of what proved to be snow dashing
across the heavens with. tremendous
velocity. In an instant everything
was enveloped in a heavy fall OF
snow and within minute the side
walks were white, ready for another
cleaning.
The wind howled and lightning
flashed and stories of the fierce bliz-
yards of past years came from the
lips of those safe In some sheltered
spot. But greatly to the surprise Of
everyone, while still anticipating a
fierce snowstorm, the hurricane-like
blast abated, the snowfall ceased and
the stars and moon shone again on
the earth.
Ice In the Bay.
The lightning during the storm in
terfered with the wireless stations
along the coast and for time the
sending of messages was impossible.
The big drop in temperature which
accompanied the storm caused more
Ice to form in the bay, sound and
river than at any time during the
present season. While no boats
were reported to have been blown
from their moorings it was only the
greatest strength of their cables that
kept them within bounds
1t was probably due to the short
duration of the storm that great
damage was not done in this vicinity.
AS 1t was no electric light wires were
reported down in Perth Amboy, al
though Roosevelt was in darkness
for about half an hour while repairs
were made to a broken wire. No in
convenience was experienced in
SltuSI lhe lloliSJ ol lhS tSlSpuoho
service, which is considered fortu-
nate considering the great severity
of the storm while it lasted.
Signs Blown Down.
Several large store signs blew
down on Smith and State streets last
night. Patrolman Calvin made H.
Levington remove large sign from
in front of his millinery store, 1t be-
ing partially down from the wind.
A pile of Christmas toys, including
small wheelbarrows, bicycles, beds,
rocking chairs and 80 forth, blew
down and much of 1t was destroyed.

BIJ0lj 60. TO
BUILD PLACE
Negotiating for Site for New
Modern Theatre.

H. H. Feiber, of the Bijou Circuit
Company, stated today to NEWS
representative that his company was
negotiating for a site for the erec-
ton of modern up-to-date theatre
in this city. He intimated that the
deal would probably be closed short
ly, after which the erection of the
theatre would begin at once.
One site under consideration is
said to be in Fayette street, between
State and Mechanic streets. 1t is on
the north side of the street and is
occupied by large building which
was formerly conducted by Mrs. J..
F. Ernst as a theatrical boarding
house. 1t is regarded as an excellent
site for theatre. The property is
now owned by Robert E. Ducey. 1t
is understood, however, that 1t Is
more likely that site will be chosen
in Smith street in the vicinity of
Proctor's theatre
The theatre planned would seat
about $500 people. The policy of
the house would be similar to that
now so popular in New Brunswick,
where vaudeville is the staple, with
road show at intervals of every
few weeks.
Until recently the Bijou company
conducted it's house in New Bruins
wick avenue with a policy similar to
the one proposed for the new thea
tire, but was forced into moving pic
lures as an attraction by the compe-
tition of Proctor's. With a large
and well equipped house, however,
the Biiou company is planning to
fight Proctor's on it's own ground
and If the present plans for new
theatre materialize Perth Amboy
will be assured of some big attrac-
tions.

Trenton, Dec. 16:-Althougb Gov
ernor-elect Wilson was advised of
the statements made by James
Smith, Jr., formally putting himself
into the race for the United States
senatorship few minutes after the
latter made his position known last
night in Newark, the goyernor-elect
declined to make any comment on
this latest development in the great
political fight that has been inaugur-
ated by Mr.. Smith challenging the
leadership of the new executive, and
defying the latter to carry out his
purpose of bringing about the cleo

When again pressed this morning
for some comment on Mr.. Smith S
public statement the governor-elect
stated that he had nothing to say for
publication on the subject.
What DR.. Wilson's next move will
be cannot be stated authoritively,
but it is practically certain that now
that Mr.. Smith has come out in the
open and announced his determina-
ton to capture the senatorial seat,
Mr.. Wilson will soon accede to the
advice of those who are prepared to
give him militant and organized sup
port in the political battle in which
he has engaged with the old-time
Democratic machine and personally
identify himself with the series of

About the third day following the

hardly partake of the meat and they
began to weaken. Before rations

EXPERIENCES OF
SCHOONER CREW
EXHIBIT HAS
MANY PATRONS
Out of Town People See the
tuberculosis Display.

Interest in the Free tuberculosis
Exhibit at 1877 Smith street, is ex-
tending outside of Perth Amboy and
visitors are frequent and welcome
from points near by. While last
nights storm interfered with the at
tendance at that time, yesterday af-
ternoon experienced the largest at
tendance yet from the city schools
The scholars show much interest In
the exhibit and II the exhibit does
nothing more than to instill ideas of
the right kind of conduct with re-
gard to tuberculosis in the minds of
the youth of Perth Amboy, it will
have done a great work. The vari-
Gus classes of the schools are in daily
afternoon attendance at the exhibit.
George Muirhead, the director of
the exhibit, is anxious that the min
listers of the city shall visit the ex-
hibit before 1t leaves the city in Or
der that they may become familiar
with the principles of the prevention
and cure Of tuberculosis, its cause
and cure, and spread the knowledge
throughout their congregations when
opportunity offers. Mr.. Muirhead
says as yet the exhibit has reached
a very small portion of the foreign
population and he is anxious that in
some way the message of the exhibit
will reach them before it leaves the
city.
So great is the interest in the ex-
hibitlon becoming that in all proba-
bility 1t will be kept open next Sun
day for the benefit of those who are
unable to attend 1t on week days.
The Red Gross Seals.
Throughout the nation apprecia-
by the sale of Red Cross seals is be-
ing more and more realized. Gov
ernor Fort has placed the stamp of
his approval on the sale of these
seals for use on Christmas letters,
parcels, etc, and has written to the
visiting nurses committee and
placed an order for 1000 of the
seals. In communication in refer
ence to this matter the governor
says:
ut Is with unusual pleasure that
indorse the issuance and sale OF
Red Cross seals, and earnestly
hope that the public will support the
movement and buy them in large
quantities for the good which will
result from the funds which may be
received from their sale. Please
send me 1000 of the stamps"
Another man who Is taking up
this work is John D. Rockefeller,
who has placed an order for $4,000
seals in New York. Perth Amboy
people should remember that in pur-
chasing stamps, this city loses eigh-
ty-two per cent. of the proceeds for
local Anti-Tuberculosis work, unless
the seals are bought In Perth Am

REAL ESTATE
VALUES JUMP
Result of Buchanan Sale.
Offers for Parcels.

That the sale of the Buchanan
property for improvement represents
another step In the development OF
Perth Amboy's business section may
be seen from the fact that $4,000
has been added to the value of an
other piece of property on the same
block in Smith street by its owner.
Messrs. Stricken and Convery, who
purchased the Buchanan property
last week, have already had several
offers for the property in parcels but
are not naming any figures on any
part of 1t as yet. 1t is understood
that they would like to dispose of
the property in parcels for retail
mercantile purposes with the likeli-
hood that each purchaser would
erect fine building which would be
a credit to the locality. 1t is also
stated that they are not anxious for
a bank to secure the corner plot but
would rather have some live retail
establishment locate there.
The future development of Perth
Amboy will see fine, substantial
buildings on all the corners of Smith
and State streets and New Bruins
wick avenue and anything other
than this at this time must be sup
planted in years to come by more
elaborate structure 1t is possible,
however, that the present owners of
the Buchanan property may erect a
building for leasing, but it is more
likely that they will dispose of the
land for improvement to persons who
plan buildings for their own use in
the mercantile line.
Other Values jump.
With the sale of the Buchanan
property at the corner of Smith and
State streets for improvement real
estate in the business section of the
city has become active and property
values In many instances have shown
decided lift. Along with this ac-
tivity has come negotiations for the
purchase of Adolph Greenbaum S
property at the southeast corner of
State and Centre streets. This prop
erty is a dwelling, the lower floor of
which has been converted into a
piano salesroOm. The whole proper
ty is wholly out Of keeping with the
business section in which 1t is locat-
ed.
Although the pending negotiations
are practically completed, Leo Gold
berger, who represents Mr.. Green
baum, refuses to divulge the name
of the buyer. 1t is understood that
the man making the negotiations for
the property plans to put up a mod
ern three-story brick building. The
property faces 100 feet on State
street and fifty feet on Centre street.
