FOR The PORT
Communication Received By
Health Officer Nauity.

DR.. Charles w. Naulty, Jr., FEEDER
al Health officer of the local port, re-
ceived a communication consisting of
new rules and regulations this morn
ing from Assistant Surgeon General
L. E. Cofer, chief of division of do
mestic quarantine, relative to the en-
forcement Of health, quarantine, and
fumigation regulations at the local
port. DR.. Naulty said this morning
that this latest action Of Assistant
Surgeon Cofer WAS due, In large
measure, to the Bubonic plague,
which now holds number of United
States cities in Its grip. The new
rules are very similar to the old.
Perth Amboy's health officer and
strict watch for any sign of the
plague, every ship being inspected
and fumigated, if necessary, before
being allowed to dock. Even more
careful attention has been given to
vessels arriving here from infected
ports.
1t is the duty of the health officers
to inspect every incoming and out
going vessel for any sign of disease
Any person found boarding a vessel
before 1t has been inspected and
passed quarantine is liable to arrest
and fine Of $500, a year in prison,
or both. Warnings have been given
out from time to time and Dr. Naulty
said this morning that persons caught
violating this law would now be pun
ished to the limit. The Custom
House officials, it is understood, will
take part in the proceedings if nee
essary.
There is a local case before the
Washington officials now George
HEM, employed by George B. Evans,
ship chandler, Of 2 Sbith street,
was caught boarding the steamer
'Monodock,'' it is alleged. DR..
Naulty has reported the case to the
officials at the Capitol, but does not
know what action will be taken. This
is the first case of its kind since DR..
Naulty was appointed. The vessel
hailed from Tampico, Mexico, a port
infested with smallpox.
The bubonic plague is carried by
f1eas, coming from the ordinary
house or wharf rats. The flea leav-
ing the body of the dead rat, bites
human beings and injeets poison
hard to combat with. In San Fran
cisco, Cal, at the present time the
plague is raging, caused by ground
squirrels.

Burns Before Grand Jury.

Special by United Press Wire.
Indianapolis, Ind, April 26:-FoI-
lowing his arrest and arraignment,
Detective William Burns appeared
before the Marion county grand jury
today After being before the grand
jury for about fifteen minutes this
morning 1t looked for time as
though Burns and Hammond F.
Newman, head of the salvage corps
here, would have fist fight, as a re-
suit OF an argument over old Gin
cinnati election frauds. Such words
as liars" CROOKS" thief" and
even stronger remarks were ex-
changed. Newman Is a Mcnamara
sympathizer and asserts that he was
on the Cincinnati police force and
dug up the tally sheet cases in 1885
for which Burns claimed the credit.
Burns gave bond in the sum Of $10,
900, signed by a surety company. This
had been arranged for by General VIII
liam 81. Ketcham, who acted for all
the parties arrested on the kidnapping
charge.
Backed by the international officers
and six organizations, movement has
been started to force the return here
Of J. ]. Mcnamara. secretary-treasurer
of the ironworkers, on the ground
that he was taken unlawfully from
the state. The proceedings began
when Walter Drew Of New York, w.
]. Ford Of Los Angeles and Frank
Fox, driver of the automobile Id which
Mcnamara was taken from the city,
were arrested and placed under $l0,-
900 bonds each.
AS outlined by one OF the national
union officers, the arrests have been
made for kidnapping, with view to
bringing out the fact that Mcnamara
was not permitted to employ law
yer or make any defense before the
court to which he was taken for iden-
tifcadon.
At meeting Of the principal officers
of most Of the unions which have in
ternational headquarters in Indianap-
Oils, held at the building OF the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Jofners
Of America, the structural ironwork-
ers were assured Of the support OF
other unions. The meeting WAS at
tended also by a few men prominent
in the labor movement in this city.
Secrecy is being maintained as to the
details which were at first discussed.
All the news for 10 cents week.

CLAY PROPERTY
is BOUGHT IN
Plant at Spa Springs Sold
to Robert H. McCartsr.

New Brunswick, April 26:-In an
effort to recover money loaned to
the Powers Realty and Construction
Company by the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, of Newark, Chauncey G.. Par
ker, as special master, offered for
sale today at the court house here,
lands in Perta Amboy owned for
many years by various corporations
controlled by ]. Edward Addicks, the
Delaware gas magnate and politi-
clan.
The property was bought in by
Robert H. McCarter, of McCarter &
English, of Newark, for 100000.
There were only six people at the
sale.
There are seven parcels Of land,
and some of them are richly under
laid with clay. Addicks acquired the
property about twenty years ago,
buying the old drain pipe factory of
Anness & Lyle and converting 1t into
a plant valued, with the adjoining
clay lands, at over s1,000,O00.
Business was carried on for sew
eral years under the name of the
Staten Island Terra Gotta Lumber
Company, and nearly 1000 men
were employed. Robert w. Lyle was
superintendent, and after a time he
and Addicks Quarreled, and the gas
man was named as cO-receiver with
John V. Bacot, Of Jersey City, to
wind up the affairs of the concern.
The receivers, with George L.
Record as their counsel, were given
authority to issue receivers certif-
Gates, and for a year of more they
carried on the business Then the
pr rv was sold to a party of men
rf to be Philadelphia capital
is t it developed that Addicks
was ill in control. The Staten ISL
and Clay Company was organized,
and work was resumed at the plant
Lyle had founded a rival company
and it was impossible for Addicks to
regain his former position in the fire
proofng world.
Eventually the clay company sus-
pended operations, and about three
years ago the Powers Company was
formed. Addicks' connection with
the latest concern, II any, was never
made known, but it shared the fate
of its predecessors, and was forced
to appeal to the police for aid in
preventing angry employees from de-
stroying the plant.
Ever since Addicks first became in
terested in the property it has been
the scene st times of strikes
While the dffairs of the company
were in charge of Receivers Addicks
and Bacot th>-e was fire, which
practically destroyed the plant, and
1t was never wholly rebuilt.
Embracing total of about 1875
acres, the property is now roughly
valued at about 81 900 an acre. A
representative of the Trust Company
said that the claim which is the
basis of the foreclosure proceedings
amounts to between 100000 and
100000.
The city OF Perth Amboy has lien
on the lands and buildings for taxes
aggregating over $4,000.

ALARMED OVER
STRANGE NOTE
David Klein, Grocer, of 420
Smith ST., Receives an An
onymous Letter Today.
WRITTEN IN HUNGARIAN
Said TO Contain Demand for
Moneys Suspicious Man
Around the Prsmisas.

Mr. and Mrs David Klein, of 420
Smith street, are much agitated over
the receipt of an anonymous letter
this morning which, it is said, threat
ened personal injury and damage to
their grocery store at their home ad-
dress, unless they will produce 1925.
Hungarian, 1t is alleged, was signed
postmarked Perth Amboy."
Man Arouses Suspicion.
This morning after the receipt of
the letter, a certain man, known in
the locality of the Klein store, took
opportunity to enter its premises
four different times, and make pur-
chases. Mrs. Klein became suspic-
ious Of him and thinking to secure a
specimen Of his handwriting, she
made believe that she could not write
and asked him to compose a short
note for her. The man became ner-
Yous at this request and made a
hasty exit without performing the
small service asked
Interpreter Is Necessary.
When the letter was first received
it was regarded with interest and an
Interpreter TO decipher 1t was Sc
cured. He soon made the report of
its contents known, which naturally
came as a surprise to the Kleins. The
store conducted by Mr.. and Mrs
Klein is in a neighborhood in which
there are many Hungarians One OF
them recently entered the Klein
store and was taking some dried ap-
pies when discovered by the proprie-
tor. He was Immediately called tc
task and on being elected from the
store drew revolver and fred it al
Mr.. Klein. He was arrested and sen.
fenced to three months in the county
jail by Judge DAILY.
Whether or not this occurrence
has anything to do with the receipt
of the anonymous letter today is moi
known.
