S. D. Paddock's Money Gets
Him In Troubls Again

S. ID. Paddock, who appears to
have experienced nothing but trouble
since he inherited about $4,000,
could not pass through this city in
his automobile yesterday without be-
coming engaged i'll further difficulty
He was arrested for driving his car
without a license, set to considerable
inconvenience and caused to pay a
fine $5. This Is declared to have
happened because of alleged hatred
of the Atlantic Highlands chief of
police for young Paddock and the
caretaker of his car.
Paddock, who said he was twenty
one years old and lived at West
Ninety street, New York, be-
came the victim of thousands of
ardent admirers almost the minute
he became possessed OF wealth. He
lived at Atlantic Highlands until re-
Gently, and even there was the sub
ject of admiration and scorn. Girls
seemed to poster him and men were
Jealous of his good fortune In being
left so much money, which he had
never expected.
An automobile owned by the young
man was stored IN the Snedeker
Garage at Atlantic Highlands during
the winter. Without stopping to OBJ
tain q 1918 license for 1t, he drove
the machine to this city yesterday
intending to take 1t to New York.
The police say the chief of police of
Atlantic Highlands, seeing this and
being at odds with Snedeker and
Paddock, telephoned here. stating
the car was without q 1913 license.
Accordingly the local police kept a
watchout and Paddock was taken
into custody on complaint of Desk
Sergeant Durham. The fine was
paid by Paddock, he took out New
Jersey license for the sake of driving
the car three blocks to the Staten
Island ferry and thus closed another
interesting chapter of his life.

PLEA FOR CITY

Armed with 738 signatures which
have been obtained from prominent
and representative citizens of Perth
Amboy, South Amboy, Woodbridge.
Old Bridge, Jamesburg, Prospect
Plains, Helmetta. Spotswood, Roose-
welt and Port Reading, under the
auspices of the EVENING NEWS.
Mayor Ferd Garretson, representing
the city of Perth Amboy, and Joseph
E. Stricken, president of the Board
of Trade, representing that body, will
appear before the Board of Freehold
ers this afternoon at their meeting in
New Brunswick, and urge that body
TO take necessary steps to establish
Immediately branch of the county
court at this place. The signatures,
which have been gained for the petit
t1on for the location of the court
here, have been secured without any
systematic effort in house to house
canvass. but practically by presenting
the document to the business men of
the foregoing places. From the will
ingness with which all who had an
opportunity to so signed the petition,
there is no doubt that nearly every
citizen in this part of the county
would have signed the paper II he
had been given that chance. As to
make a systematic house to house
canvass of this part of the county
would have been too much Of task
for an individual enterprise, the
EVENING NEWS only attempted to
get the names of representative
body of business men from each of
the above places.
The delegation, which will appear
before the county board, will ask the
immediate relief from the present in
conveniences incident to county court
litigation by the establishment of the
branch court at this place. They will
point out to the board that the coun-
Gil chamber of city hall has been
offered for the purpose by the mayor
and aldermen, and that if they do not
feel justified in erecting court
house here at the present time, them.
they could. with practically no ex-
pense, have the sessions of the court
held in the city hall.
Isaac Alpern, of the real estate firm
of Alpern and Company, on his own
initiative. secured the signatures Of
2O4 business men of the city-mer-
chants, real estate dealers, manufac-
turers, etc. The petition was also
signed by the mayor, aldermen, min
listers, lawyers and hundreds of other
prominent men who had the oppor-
tunity of registering their names for
the elimination of the project
A representative of the EVENING
NEWS spent a few hours Saturday
afternoon in securing signatures of
representative business men of South
Amboy, and from the desire for the
institution expressed by the limited
number of persons he interviewed, It
was convincing that the majority of
the citizens of South Amboy appre-
ciated the saving of time, trouble
and expense which this institution
would mean, and that II only given
an opportunity practically every
voter of that city would register his
name in favor of the project

DEMOCRATS ON
RECENT ACTION

The recent move of the MiddlcseX
County Democratic Executive Com
mittee to deliver the county to Mayor
Wittpenn for the nomination of gov
ernor, is most bitterly attacked in a
letter sent by George Viehmann to
County Chairman Thomas II. Hager-
ty. Mr.. Viehmann as an independ-
ent Democrat declares himself most
strenuously opposed to the move and
desires to know of Mr.. Hagerty why
he allowed the county organization to
misrepresent him as Democrat,
The letter in question contains
twelve hundred words and Is not in
places. Copies were sent to Senator
William e. Ramsay, of this city, as a
Fielder supporter and to Frank s.
KatZenbach, a former candidate for
governor. In the beginning M. Vieh-
mann sets forth that he Is for Act
ing Governor Fielder for governor of
the state. He called attention to the
move made to direct the Middlesex
Democratic vote to Wittpenn. He
declares the Geran election law was
to secure the nomination OF candi-
dates by the free voice of voters.
Woodrow Wilson was named as can
didate for governor by James Smith,
a political boss, he asserts, In face Of
opposition candidates of majority
OF the workers In the Democratic
party. Wilson's ability and progress
aiveness, coupled with the aid Of
Bryan secured for him the nomina-
ton for president, the writer states.

YOUTH
ARRESTED HERE
Drives Auto Without License
Collision Precedes II.

William Arnold, youth of Key
port, who aspired to become a chaUf-
feur, learned this morning there
must be some truth in the saying,
that troubles rarely come single.
With the shattering of a glass in a
lamp on the car of the Perth Amboy
City Market went Mr.. Arnold's hope.
He had driven Ford touring car,
owned by w. H. Lake, proprietor of
the Mansion house at Keyport, into
the market concerns vehicle and
damaged three gas lamps. A mo-
ment after the crash young Arnold
was shocked by being arrested for
driving car without license. He
was detained at police headquarters
while spectator kindly consented to
go after Recorder Pickersgill. The
young prisoner was fined $40, given
warning and caused to take out a
license as driver.
Arnold's defense was that he was
driving the required number of miles
In an effort to secure license, but"
said the recorder, "the law states
plainly you must not drive without
license. Arnold said the law pro-
Vided that certain number of miles
must be driven before license could
be obtained. The court maintained
that was queer part of the Jersey
law. Mr.. Lake paid the fine and
agreed to pay for damage done the
market concerns machine. He esti-
mated the total cost of the affair
would be about $50.
1t was Arnold's first day as chauf-
feur for Mr.. Lake. The Mansion
house proprietor had recently dis
charged a chauffeur for joy-riding.

COUNTY MEDICAL S0c'Y
WILL MEET WEDNESDAY

The Middlesex County Medical
Association will meet at 4:30 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon at Hotel Klein
at New Brunswick. An interesting
treatise on "Serums and Antitoxins"
viii be read. The use of serums in
the prevention and cure of diseases
is recognized now by the medical
profession more than at any previous
time in its history. The study of
this subject at this time is especially
appropriate in view of the turtle cul-
ture discovered by DR.. Friedman,
the famous German specialist.

Wilson never would have become a
candidate for governor. He stated it
practically causes men like Wilson
to keep in private life. causing the
general character of public workers
in deterioate.
Mr.. Niehman expressed confidence
in stating that three quarters OF
members of the county committee
had never met with Wittpenn and
one half of them never knew of what
he had done. He asserted Frank S.
Katzenbach was known to twenty
five times as many Democrats in the
county as Wittpenn and without any
dictation would be the choice of
twenty-five times as many voters at
the primary.
Mr.. Fielder, who in his opinion
was best qualified to wage the fight,
would easily secure twenty-five times
as many votes as Wittpenn, the writ
er maintained. He declared Witt
penn's only qualification was politi-
cal. He said Katzenbach has a per-
sonality which has endeared him to
many and his defeat in the run for
governor only made him more highly
esteemed. Mr.. Fiehmann stated the
county Democratic committee had no
right to consider them, meaning
Kat2enbach and Wittpenn, against
anybody else.
That Fielder Is Independent and
fearless, has performed his work
without fear or favor and is respect
