|ONE YOUTH is
GIVEN CHANCE

Through the efforts Of his father
Howard Waite, Of 10 First street, a
youth accused Of embezzlfng funds
belonging to I. c. Moore, a shoe mer-
chant Of IS Smith street, was re-
leased from the county Jail yester-
day. By means OF action taken by
Peter A. Peterson, as counsel, An
drew Peterson, of 362 High street,
who is accused of stealing the money
from Mr.. Moore, who was his en-
ployer, is being held to await the
action of the grand jury. Persons
interested in the Ease consider 1t an
outrage, for It Is generally believed
he would also be released on proba-
ton If counsel would change his
plea. The lawyer looks at it in a
different light, and considers It q
disgrace that the youths should
plead guilty for the sake of getting
free at once, thereby placing a blem-
ish upon their character for life.
Andrew Peterson, Howard Waite
and John FRANKIE, youths of about
the same age, were taken into Gus
tody about a month ago for en-
bezzlement of $1S6 which the former
had been dispatched to carry to the
First National Bank for his employ
.er. The trio went to Philadelphia,
where Peterson and Waite were ap-
pretended. FRANKIE returned to this
city and gave himself up. He vas
released on probation by Recorder
Kehoe.
Peterson and Waite were close to
freedom when they signed allega-
lions to the crime. Peter A. Peter
son interceded as Peterson's counsel
and claims he was asked at the same
time to defend Waite. He caused a
retraction of the allegations and had
the boys await the action Of the
grand jury. 1t was believed they
would be set at liberty on probation,
principally because they were too
old to be sent to the State Home for
Boys and too young to go to the New
Jersey Reformatory. Waite secured
his liberty by throwing himself upon
the mercy Of the court.
Peter A. Peterson is having him
self appointed guardian for young
Peterson.

HUGE DEAL IN
REAL ESTATE

One of the biggest real estate
deals of the last few months was
announced today by Hyman Fried
man who, in conjunction with the
Perth Amboy City Market, has pur-
chased q $4,000 tract from Perrine
& Buckelew, of Jamesburg, situated
in Paterson, First and Second
streets, between Gordon and Pater-
son streets, this city. The tract
comprises forty-six lots Of undevelop-
ed real estate and is considered one
of the most desirable residential
parcels in Perth Amboy. 1t is sur
rounded by improved property.
According to the plans of the new
owners, the tract will be offered for
sale in the near future In building
lots suitable for dwellings, or tn i'm
proved lots on which will be erected
frame houses. The City Market
officials and Mr.. Friedman declare
that the forty-six lots were pur-
chased at a reasonably low figure,
and will be offered to the people Of
this city and vicinity on a similar
scale. Although bordering on the
tracks of the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey it is not the intention Of
the spectators to offer any portion
of the tract for industrial purposes.
1t will be restricted to high class
dwellings, it is planned.
The property runs 500 feet on
Paterson street, 429 feet on Second
street and 529 feet on First street.
1t constitutes a greater portion Of
the block bounded by Gordon, First,
Paterson and Second streets. The
Second street side, bordering on the
railroad, will probably be the first
portion of the tract disposed Of by
the news owners, inasmuch as a
Spectator has already made ad-
vances for every lot on the Second
street side. William B. Pratt, a local
real estate agent, was interested In
the contamination Of the transac-
ton.

BUILDERS WILL
OFFER CHANGE

When work is started upon revi-
sion of the building code, members OF
the Master Builders Association will
suggest that details be specified con-
corning the use of cement, terra
Gotta and hollow tile building blocks
and will probably ask that permission
be given to use shingles for roofing
outside of the fire limits. Under
provisions in the code at present
single roofs cannot be constructed
within the city limits.
Because the use of building blocks
is not specified, contractors have
been compelle to erect walls four
inches thicker when built of block
than when bricks are used despite
the fact that builders say the block
are as strong as brick.

entertaining play devoid OF al!
coarseness and vulgarity. of a moral
and wholesome tone. illustrating
the tragedy occurring In the home
| circle into which the demon OF jeal-
| ousy has effected an entrance Win
such faithfulness of detail as 10
make the play realistic to the high
est degree.
The serious side OF the play is re-
lieved by a bountiful supply OF gen
uine comedy which so nicely BAL
ances the drama as tt make it high
ly entertaining as well as deeply In
teresting. The staging Of the play
at the Bijou is artistic and attrac-
tive. The management assures US
that neither time nor expense a
ben spared to put this play on In a
thoroughly first class manner, sec
ond to none. believing that the peo-
pie OF Perth Amboy are just as keen
ly appreciative OF m%eritorfous theat-
rical enterprise as anywhere else.

duction will continue all week with
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
