RATING ASSOCIATION

Merchants of South Amboy are to
be interested in a system to better
trade and credit conditions, such as
was recently preached in this city. A
meeting of merchants and business
men of South Amboy has been called

The association will be formed, as
was the local organization, with q
view of taking up the system of the
Merchants Mercantile Agency, OF
Pittsburg, Pa, to prevent film
fans in business dealings, fake
bankruptcy sales and frauds between
dealer and customer. An organizing
staff of the Merchants Mercantile
Agency will introduce the subject
and urge the organization of an as
ISOLATION in South Amboy, that its
merchants may be well represented
in the campaign Of that sort to be
waged throughout the county.

SAYS He HAD NO PART
IN ELOPEMEkT PLANS

Evidently there must have been
two young men aspiring for the hand
of Miss Cornelia Moore, eighteen
years old, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Moore, Of Main street, Totem
Vile, or perhaps the EVENING
NEWS representative was misinform-
ed as to the name of the young man
alleged to have planned an elope-
ment with Miss Moore on Saturday
night. The planned clandestine mar
riage was foiled by juick work on the
part of the bride-to-be's parents.
The following communication has
been received:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS!
l would like to make a reply to
the clipping story of Walter Stratton
and Miss Cornelia Moore, which was
published in the NEWS Of July 81.
In this matter, all was Miss Moore's
own doings. l do not deny that I
was keeping company with Miss
Moore and | am not ashamed of It
(either), but would like to say If /
had any intention OF getting married
would have gone like a gentleman
and asked her parents consent. And
my name is not walter Stratton";
It is walter Barklou." Thanking
you in advance for printing same, l
remain,
WALTER BARKLOU.
Mr.. Bark1ou writes on the sta
tionery of the South AmbOy agency
of the United States Express Com
pany. of which Amos Stratton is the
agent. 1t is very probable the con-
fict In names given in the original
story OF the NEWS ros from this

NEGRO LIVED
WITH AFFINITY
SpotsWood Woman Deserted
Husband for Mulatto.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

spotswood, Aug. 2:-Joseph Holmes,
late of this place, a mulatto, with d
very light complexion, was given a
beating Monday at Salisbury Mills, y.
Y. and was ridden on a rail out or
town by the irate citizens of that en-
ergetic community, because he was hv-
ING there with the wife and two chill
/ dren of William Metzel, a night watch
man, Of this place. Detective Ferd A.
David, of the Prosecutor s office, and
the injured husband were the instru-
ments chosen to let the Salisbury Mills
people know that Holmes was not only
living with a woman not his wife, but
that he himself is colored.
Mr.. and Mrs. Metzel have two chill
dren, q girl ten years old and a boy
four years old. While the attentions
of the mulatto to Mrs. Metzei were
remarked by others, Mr.. Metzel was
happy in his love for his wife and
/ children, and suspected nothing.
Along some time last March, Mrs.
Metzel said she wished to visit relatives
in OYSTER Bay, Long Island and got her
husbands consent to 60. He not only
gave his consent but let her have $25
for her carfare. She went away taking
the two children with her.
On the same day that Mrs. Metzel
left the colored man left too. Other
| circumstances made Mr.. Metzel and his
friends suspicious, and they called in
| Detective David and the couple with
the two children were traced to Sauls-
bury Mills, where Holmes had secured
a place in the paper mill.
Monday afternoon the detective and
the husband went there. Mr.. Metzel
found his wife and two children and
wanted to bring the children back with
him and leave Mrs. Metzel.
The now repeuted wife begged SO
hard to be forgiven, however, that Met
eel decided to give her one more chance.
against the negro. but to bring his wife
and the childEsn back Will him and
sttar55 over again.
There has never been a c%olored res
ident of Salisbury Mills, it is said.
When the residents of the tow heard
the whole story they were much
wrought up and blamed themselves for
their shortsightedness. They made
amends by bringing the rail and Holmes
into juxtaposition.
Since the husband took no action
the authorities could do nothing on the
adultery charge, After Holmes had
been u44e4 out Of town, however, he
had his clothing disarranged because
of the rough handling he received, a
complaint was made against him by
Justice of the Peace Andrew Thcmp-
son, in front Of whose home Holmes
sought to get his clothing in shape,
and he was arrested on the charge of
indecent exposure. He is now held on
that charge. Holmes wife died last
winter.

Masken Is Offender.

To do a barber business on Sun
day is unlawful and against the
rules and regulations of the Boss

to stop the practice. The associp-
ton and the police are working hand

Maskin has been watched for
some time by Patrolman Chris Han
sen and this morning he was taken
into custody. He pleaded guilty to
shaving people on Sunday when ar
raigned before Recorder Henry w.
Kehoe this morning, but said he only
did it for accommodation and plead
ed for leniency. The judge recalled
that Maskin had previously been ar
rested for a similar offense and fined
$40, which he had not paid. Maskln
said he was unable to pay 1T and
therefore had not done so, The re-
corder added SIS to the amount and

NICHOLAS AIDS hLBANiANS.


C~ettinje. Montenegro, Aug. p The
Montenegrin and Turkish governments
are again at odds over the submission
OF the Malissori tribesmen in Albania.
The Albanlans submitted their de-
mands to the Turkish authorities
through Montenegro, and the Turkish
governments reply has been made.
As the Turkish proposals differ ma
terially from the demands made by
the AIbanians and supported by King
Nicholas, a serious deadlock has re-
suited and the situation in Albania,
which at present is terrible, may be
come more intense as the outcome.

ALEADERS ARE NEGLECTED N - Group of Specialties Holds Center of Trade With
 Small Gains

New York, May 27.-The usual lead CTS of the stock market were almost neglected today in favor of a group of specialties, which were compara- lively active at higher prices. Western Union. American Beet Sugar and some minor issues scored good advances. The dullness in the standard stocks was especially marked in the case of United States Steel, which recently was the center of a turbulent speculative move ment that unsettled the market.
 Today this issue aroused little inter est in spite of reports that prices of many steel products may be reduced early next week by all companies. Can adian Pacific Presumed some of. it's for mer prominence, registering a further gain. The movement was unusually mar row and many of the semi-active shares remained unquoted through the two- hour session. The undertone was con- sistently firm. Although the demand was not large the presence of an ex- tended short interest which was eager to cover whenever it was possible to do so at concessions, kept up prices and resulted in small advances. The effective manner In which the railroads have reduced expenses was indicated by additional April reports including those of the Rock Island and Baltimore and Ohio. The Rock Island reduced it's op- erating expenses by $3SS,000 and the Baltimore and Ohio by s734,000 and both roads reported substantial advances in net earnings. An official analysis of railroad operations for March shows that the total revenue for that month fell off nearly s11,000,000 from the re- ceipts of that period of 1910. The de- crease was due almost entirely to fall ing off in freight A saving. of per cent in operating expenses was effected.
 Activity in trading in Union Pacific convertibles was the feature of the bond market the demand forcing sub stantial advance. The general bond market was firm. Total sales, par value. $2,03S,000.

New York Cotton Futures
New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, May 27.-Cotton futures steady, 1 to 8 points up on the old crop months and unchanged on the new. Cables were somewhat better than expected on the old crops but not quite good enough on the new The weather map was called favorable since it showed rains in Okla homa, the Carolinas and the northern part of Texas, where complaints of drought have been made of late. Weekend cover- ing by shorts gave the market strength around the opening and the list was put 1 to points up. little later the effect of the weather map besain to be felt and at the end of the first half hour of trad ing the moro active months were to 3 points down.
 Around the middle of the morning longs offered the ring considerable cotton and gossip was that some of the large bull interests were selling under cover. The weather forecast called for unsettlea weather and showers over Sunday in the western half of the belt and fair weather in the eastern half This increased the selling, as showers are the thing now most desired and as the ring interprets the map unsettled weather is due to get into the eastern belt by Sunday night. At the lowest of the morning 1t was 4 to [ points under yesterdays last prices. The close was steady, 3 points up to down, compared with yesterdays close.
