ten stories will be constructed If the sub
scriptions come in as promised. The
committee has announced plainly that 1t

1t to be.
The structure as planned, will be of
massive design. built of cream colored
brick with terra Gotta and stone orna
mentation and covered with a soping roof
of red tile Balconies and a roof garden
will relieve the massiveness of the struc-
ture Work will start by the end Of this
year and the building committee hopes to
complete it within a year.
Strictly speaking, there will be three
buildings instead of one. The part of the
structure intended for men will be di-
vided from that used by the boys. These
two divisions will face Lucke street, OPP
posite the Tabernacle. Directly back of
them will stand a two-story structure for
bathing pools, gymnasiums, and all sorts
of indoor sports.

Mrs. Argo has been q years on

THE women in the community who

Trenton Story Says Wilson
Had Been Warned.

A story being sem out from Tren-
ton and published in ONE of the
state papers, to the effect that the
recent strike in this city was delib-
erately planned by enemies of Gov
ernor Wilson in an effort to discredit
him, is of particular interest here.
The story says the governor received
a letter several days in advance of
the strike warning him of what was
to take place. The Trenton article
is as follows:
Trenton, June 20:-When the
strike at Perth Amboy broke out last
week the belief was expressed in
some quarters that the whole thing
was planned for the purpose of EN-
barrassing Governor Wilson. That
there vas some foundation for this
belief Is apparent from the fact that
Governor Wilson was warned sever
al days in advance that an effort was
being made to start a strike in New
Jersey of such desperate proportions
that it would be necessary for him
to call out the state militia.
The warning came in a letter
which was mailed from a small town
IN Pennsylvania. 1t was signed by
al lllb u ~ utoNl lDCd IllllOCll
as a travelling salesman. The letter
advised the governor that some of
his enemies were endeavoring to stir
up such a condition in one of the in
dustrial centers of New Jersey as
might entail loss of life and n~ecessi-
tate the presence of state troops. He
was told that the plan was then to
charge him with being AN enemy to
Bnrnnt nrApIr tn 40, - cd e, +,I-,
the matter before the Baltimore con-
vention in a last desperate effort to
defeat him for the presidential nom
nation.
The writer did not disclose the
location or the impending strike, but
the developments of last week
proved conclusively hat he knew
what he was talking about. The
events at Perth Amboy were foretold
in a general way several days before
they took place.
"a remarkable feature of the stu
LIton is hat 1t was common talk in
Perth Amboy last week that the
strike was being agitated by enemies
of Governor Wilson, although it was
not known at that time that the gov
ernor had received the letter describ-
ed above. The source of the rumors
in Perth Amboy are not known. 1t
Is believed there, however, that not
only was the strike stirred up origi-
nally for the purpose of embarrass-
Ing Governor Wilson, but that these
same agitators are still at work, and
this accounts in some minds for the
persistency with which the strike
hangs on, despite the fact that 1t
has been settled repeatedly"

REVISION FOR
LICENSE FEES
Excise Board Changing Rules
REPORT Not Ready.

Changes under way in the rules
and regulations of the a of
Excise Commissioners may mean a
revision upward of license fees &C
cording to some of the excise COM
missioners. AS yet no definite action
has been taken along these lines, but
a raise in the fees for liquor Ii
censes has been under consideration
Is decided upon it will not be very
large, according to all indications.
The excise commissioners do not
view with any degree of favorable
ness the boosting of license fees so
high as to force many places out Of
business and leave but a few licenses,
which would thus he placed at a pre-
MUM. They contend that the elm
nation of legitimate places only
means the support of speak-easies
and unlawful places. The commits
siOners maintain that Perth Amboy
is different from a good many other
cities because of its great COsmo-
politan population and for this rea-
son, they claim, the people living
here will have their liquor no mat
ter how they get it.
The present board prides itself in
having transferred numerous IL
censes from undesirable locations to
prominent situations in newly i'm
proved buildings. The board like
wise boasts of the fact that at the
present time there are less licenses
by two than when it first took
charge.
Proposed changes in rules and
regulations of the board we're to
have been taken up last night, but
no meeting was held as scheduled.

pared to report,
