REGAL IN MOVIES"

A very thrilling and nearly
fatal scene was enacted recently
near one of the moving picture
film manufacturer studios in Cal
ifornia.
The play was well under way.
1t was the old, old story of the
youth and maiden forbidden each
others society due to the enmity
of their parents. OF course they
were in love and the story told
how they eloped one night in the
young mans auto and dashed
across country in search Of the
ever ready parson who WAS to end
their unhappiness by making them
man and wife. Also, the story
went, the fathers joined forces in
this mutual calamity and set out
hotly in pursuit of the fleeing
couple.
All went well for some miles.
The cars dashed recklessly up hill
and down dale, through mountain
passes and watery fords. Then
came the scene that was not in
cluded in the plot.
The fugitives from parental wrath
we're travelling at high rate Of
speed a winding road that wound
down the side of the mountain.
There was sheer wall of rock on
one side and a steep, gravelly grade
to a gully some fifty feet below on
the other. No one seems to know
how it happened, but right here
the car shot to the edge and
plunged over.
1t was wild and dizzy slide, but
the machine reached the bottom
right side up and the two occu-
pants, though given a bad scare,
we're not injured.
The driver of the car, which was
a Regal Underslung, said, in re-
ferring to their narrow escape: "If
the car had not been an Under
slung we surely would have turned
turtle and would probably not be
here today

CREEK BRIDGE READY
FOR TRAFFIC WITHIN
A MONTH IS OUTLOOK
Freeho|ders at Inspection yester-
dav Find Work is Progressing Well
Under the Circumstances.
ONE ABUTTMEhT is COMPLETE

The Board of Freeholders aggra-
waited at the delay in the compile
tion of the Woodbridge creek
bridge and determined to find
the cause of such, four of the
commissioners journeyed to the
county structure yesterday afternoon
to make a searching investigation
into the cause. The party was met
by the foreman who is employed by
the bondsman of Contractor Mona
CHAN, of South Amboy, who had the
contract originally, but was dis
charged by the Freeholders because
of the slow progress in the work.
The following Freeholders made the
trip of investigation: Director Peter
H. 8. Hendricks, Anthony Gebhardt,
Alfred Kerr and William d. Casey.
After n careful inspection the offl-
cials thought that the work was pro-
crossing almost as fast now as pos
sible under the circumstances. They
have hopes that the trolley service
will be. re-established across the
bridge again in about a month.

Washington, March 20.-Hunting-
ton Wilson, assistant secretary of
state today resigned because of the
new administration Chinese policy.
His resignation wkas Immediately ac-
cepted by President Wilson. Wilson
was assistant secretary under Secre-
tary of State Knox, and was held un-
til Bryan selected his assistant.
In his letter Assistant Secretary
Wilson said he was entirely out OF
harmony with the radical change in
the Chinese loan policy, saying he
thought the declaration Showed in
adequacy of consideration of the
facts and theories"
President Wilson has practically
assumed personal charge of the state
department. When Secretary Will
sons letter asking for his resigna-
ton as soon as possible. was received
| the President ordered that it be ac-
cepted forthwith, although Secretary
of State Bryan Is in the west. Pres
ident Wilson made 1t plain that only
routine matters will be handled by

dee, while all matters of moment
that may come up will be referred
directly to the executive office.

found was the water-logged ties and
other old logs which had been many
years ago piled into the tidal stream
under each end of the bridge. This
was probably done to afford support
to the structure years ago, but in
building the concrete abutments all
of this debris had to be cleaned out
before the workmen could adjust
their forms for the concrete boul-
ders. Another thing they saw was
that the rising tides often caused
water to get Into the forms only
recently pumped dry and that then
the work was delayed again until
low tide. The steam pump, which
has been used to exhaust the forms
of water, has been out of order many
times recently they also learned.
The southwestern part of the
south abutment on which the steel
superstructure will rest, is entirely
completed, and active work Is being
made on the northern Rbutment
Favorable weather which Is expected
to continue steadily now, the Free
holders believe, will cause many
material changes in the aspect of the
new structure.

Louis Smith Resigns Today
As Food Inspector Of
Board of Health.
PAY SMALL FOR THE WORK

come Butcher Again.
PAY SMALL FOR THE WORK

Louis Smith today resigned as
food inspector for the Board Of
Health. The resignation, which was
to take effect Immediately, was ten
dered to City Clerk Wilbur La Roe
by Mr.. Smith at shortly before 8
o'clock this morning with request
that he forward 1t at once to the
president of the Board of Health.
Accompanying the letter was the
food inspectors shield and other
city property he carried. The reason
given by Mr.. Smith for his act was
that he was not receiving sufficient
pay for the amount of work to be
performed. 1t is understood he also
objected to the large amount of
abuse which accompanied the work.
He appeared generally dissatisfied
with the work and would not keep
the Job under any consideration.
An aspirant for the position OF
food inspector who, it is declared,
has q good chance of being appoint
ed in Mr.. Smiths place, Is Albert
Mcdonald, who has been endeavor-
ing to secure an appointment as pa
trolman. The Board of Health will
probably act on Mr.. Smiths resigna-
ton at its regular meeting next
Tuesday night. A successor may
then be appointed.
Mr.. Smith who Is butcher by
trade may take position as such in
the Perth Amboy City Market to-
morrow, 1t was reported today. He
served as patrolman from October Z
to January i, last. the day after
which he resigned because the work
was not "what it had been crack
up to be-" He began duty as food
inspector on February 6 and served
until this morning.
Smith says he was given to under
stand that his pay as food inspec-
tor was to be $40 month and If his
services were entirely satisfactory
the pay would be SIS month. His
first months pay was SEQ, the same
as that received by former Inspector
A. ]. Mikalajzcak, because Clerk La
Roe had not been apprised that there
was to be an increase. However, va
rious health commissioners let Smith
know that the mistake would be rec
tilted and that he was receiving S70
month. Smith claims the work
was such that he was caused to
spend considerable while performing
his duty.

CONFER ABOUT
POLICE PATROL
City Attorney Gives Opinion
About Purchasing It.

The police committee OF the coun-
Gil held a conference with Mayor
Ferd Garretson and City Attorney
Hommann last night after 1t had
been stated some automobile dealers
might bring action against the city
for awarding a contract for purchase
and maintenance Of an automobile
ambulance and patrol from Frank
van Syckle. The complainants object
ed on the ground that they be-
lieved the council had no right to
make award on bids received by an
other board. City Attorney HON.
mann stated it had, and that will
probably end the matter.
Frank Van Syckle. proprietor OF
the Van Syckle garage in New Bruins
wick avenue has been awarded the
contract for furnishing Lippard-
Stewart auto patrol and ambulance
and to maintain and operate 1t at i
a call. The aldermen believe no bet
ter proposition could be made. Their
decision was arrived at after they
had viewed most makes of automo-
biles at the recent auto show in New
York and had consulted with dealers
In regard to storage, maintenance
and operation.
One auto dealer, Max Gibian, Of
the Perth Amboy Garage Company,
has threatened to bring legal action
to upset the proceedings. He main
tains the board har no right TO make
the award, inasmuch as the previous
board advertised for bids limiting the
price to $4,000.
Chairman John J. Clark and AL
derman F. William Hilker and Hen
ry w. Sandbeck. Jr., Mayor Garret-
son and City Attorney Hommann

TAKES A PART
IN CONFERENCE
Suggestion of Dr.. Palmer
Adopted at Newark.

Rev. Dr.. William E. Palmer, pas
tor of Simpson NJ. Z. church, of this
city, took an important part in the
proceedings of the annual conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal church
at the opening session in the Halsey
Street Methodist church. Newark,
yesterday. 1t was during the discus
sion of an important question Bhat
DR.. Palmer made a suggestion that
was adopted by the conference.
One of the first deliberativs qupe-
tions to be raised was prompted by
motion of Rev. G. S. Woodruff, who
suggested that delegates to the Lay,
mems conference. to be held In the.
Central church, Friday, be formally
invited to attend the deliberations
of the clerical body. This was OBJ
jected to by Rev. DR.. Thompson
Hoadley Landon, principal OF Bor-
dentown Military Institute, who
averred that such proceeding was
something In the nature Of parade
that was not exactly consonant with
expediency. AS substitute Rev.
DR.. William E. Palmer suggested
that a committee of three be ap-
pointed to extend to the laymen the
greetings of the clergymen.
Mr.. Woodruff accepted DR.. Pal
mer's substitute, and Bishop Wilson
accordingly appointed both Mr..
Woodruff and DR.. Palmer to act with
Rev DR.. Henry A. Buttz, president
emeritus of Drew Seminary, as a
committee for that purpose.

bingham, Mass, March 20:-Mrs
Eaton, widow of Rear Admiral JOS
eph Eaton, was arrested today
charged with the murder of her
husband.
The arrest followed the bringing
Of Mrs. Eaton to the court house
here in a closed automobile from her
home in Affifflppi, accompanied by
two officers. 1t was thought that
she was brought to the inquest
merely to testify, but within ten
minutes after her arrival District
Attorney Barker telephoned for Mrs
Eaton's attorney to come to the
court room. When asked for a
statement District Attorney Barker
said:
"The admiral's death was caused
by poison, but as yet we have been
unable to find out where it was pro-
cured"
Immediately after her arrest Mrs
Eaton was arraigned and entered q
plea of not guilty. Then she stepped
into a waiting automobile accom-
panied by two officers and was taken
to the Plymouth county Jail where
she will await trial. Mrs. Eaton was
held without bail.
An investigation into the death oi
the admiral has been in progress

Because of the almost unanimous
sentiment in favor of a branch
county court house among the legal
fraternity, a petition for it may be
started by the attorneys. They be-
lieve that not only would branch
court benefit them but the citizens
of this city and neighboring towns,
no matter what vocation they may
follow. AS Perth Amboy is the
mecca of business in the county and
as it is located in a position acces-
sible to the majority OF people in
Middlesex, they believe that since
it cannot have the county seat at
this place Perth Amboy Is at least
entitled to a branch county court.
They also point to the large part Of
the litigation In the county court
arising from Perth Amboy and
suburbs.
To show the practical unanimity
of sentiment among the citizens Of
Perth Amboy for the establishment
here of branch of the county court,
the EVENING NEWS has secured
more interviews with prominent
bankers, merchants and real estate
dealers-property owners IN the
city. Most Of them think that 1t
is an injustice to the majority OF
taxpayers to require them to lose
nearly three hours Of their time or
more to reach the county court when
ever subpoenaed as witness or for
jury service, or whenever any htiga-
tion requires their appearance at
that tribunal. Many take the posi-
ton that most Of the legal business
originates in this part Of the county,
and that logically there should be a
convenient county court at Perth
Amboy, which Is the largest and most
accessible center in Middlesex county.
The idea Of having a new building
in which may be held public meet
ings, conferences, ETC., and which the
city may feel justly proud Of pos
sessing appeals to most OF those in
terviewed.

William D. voorhees,, president OF
the County Board of Taxation, favors

He stated that this part OF the

in litigation.

Sidney Riddlesrorffer, secretary
and treasurer Of the Perth Amboy
Trust Company, said: II am abso-
lutely in favor of the project He.
also, thought 1t was only justice to
the large population in this part of
the county to provide convenient
county court.
William b. Pratt.
William B. Pratt, real estate deal
er. at SO Smith street, is enthusiastic
over the proposition. He said: y
think it is worth working for. 1t
will add twenty-five per cent. to our
suburban trade" He pointed out
that the merchants would receive
larger patronage from suburban resi-
dents, as when they came to court
they would do their shopping here
He suggested that the city give the
corner of New Brunswick avenue and
Fayette street for the building, so
that the whole sum appropriated by
the Freeholders could be used for
the structure.
