More than hundred panic strick-
en- girls caused wild excitement in
the shirtwaist factory of the Perth

slightly injured as result These
together with a number who we're
too frightened to return to work

went to their homes. No one was
seriously hurt and, according to
those in charge of the factory, no
one was scalded or burned. Harry
Kottler is president of the company
which conducts the plant.

BANKRUPTCY CASE STANDS

From present indications the bust
ness of the Packer House will not
be interrupted, and the business will
be in new hands within two weeks.
To relieve the company's assets from
the burden of any unnecessary ad-
ministration, Vice Chancellor How
ell, at Newark yesterday, allowed
the bankruptcy matter to continue
in its present state, continuing John
K. Sheehy receiver, and giving him
power to dispose of the hotel with

parties that have shown inclinations
to purchase the business and con-
duct hotel under an up to date ad
ministration, anG the hostelry may
pass into new hands in few days.
Lillian P. Mendenhall, owner of
the building in which the hostelry
is conducted, under the vice chan
cellor's orders, will not be permit
ted to dispossess the present com
pany for two weeks following a suit
for same started by her counsel.
The owner, however, was guaranteed
the rent for the premises for the
time the receiver is in charge, the
money to be paid from the estate
of the defunct company. Judge
John w. Beekman appeared for the
owner of the building.
Sheriff Bollschweiler may be one
of those interested in a new COM
pany that will likely be formed. He
stated this morning that this would
depend on the personnel, etc. of the
concern. He declared that under
proper management the enterprise
should make profit on its invested
capital. Mr.. Bollschweiler said the
report in New Brunswick that Jean
Brivoul, former manager of the
hotel, had been indicted by the
grand jury was new to him, and de-
clared he is not pressing any charges
against the eX-cashier and manager.
Joseph e. Stricken represented
Sheriff Albert Bollschweiler, largest
in the Packer House
Company, who filed a bill last week
asking that a receiver be appointed
to administer the affairs of the cor
poration.

Men TO FIGHT
REQU|S|TI0N
Bogus Check sPasssrs Con-
front Detective Psltlsr With
a Writ of Habeas Corpus
FRIENDS PLAN DEFENSE

Undesirous of facing Jersey JUS
tice, and showing a determination to
fight requisition, as did DR.. James
Stubbert, the two East Side gang
sters, under arrest in New York for
passing bogus checks here, In South
Amboy and in Woodbridge, thwarted
the efforts of County Detective Rich
ard A. Peltier to bring them to the
county jail yesterday. AS he appear
ed with governors warrant to
claim the men as his prisoners, the
detective was confronted with a writ
OF habeas corpus.
Peltier laughed in discussing this
action today. He said the men, Hen
ry Falla and Paul Howath, would
be landed in the Middlese& county
jail within comparatively short
time and that two others of the gang
of ten alleged forgers and bogus
check makers and passers, would be
nabbed within a few days. The detec-
tive believes that when this has been
accomplished, the state will have be-
fore it for prosecution the four men
who are guilty of victimizing num-
erous business men, mostly saloon
keepers in this city and vicinity.
Their operations hereabouts covered
period of several months. Their
game was typical of the experienced
crook of a big city, as they carefully
laid trap warking patiently and dill
igently until the swindle was com
pleted. Their operations involved
a loss of hundreds of dollars to busi-
ness men in this city, South Amboy
and Woodbridge.
When the county detective was
served with the writ to hold the men
in New York, he learned that other
members of the gang and several
friends had made pool of $500 for
their defense.

EGGS
ST PER DOZEN
Is the Prediction If Cold
Weather Sets In Before
Christmas Time.
UP TO THE HENS

Merchants say that it depends on
the weather If fresh, country eggs
will soar In price to one dollar a
vance In New York before Santa
Claus comes around. New laid eggs
are already selling on the local mar
ket for sixty cents, and the most re-
cent from the nest, are even selling
for seventy cents.
Cold storage eggs, which always
sell for less than these gained from
nearby henneries, are bringing thlr-
ty-fve, forty cents for every twelve
passed over the counter. Merchants
say that the price of eggs at this
time is in advance OF the market
price at the same time last winter.
The only hope Of relief from the
cold storage eggs, which were care
fully bought up by the big produce
men while the hens were laying pro-
lificly In the spring and summer, Is
that we have open weather until be-
tween December 1 and 15, that will
conciliate the hens into laying.
About this time all the hens go on
strike and absolutely refuse to>work
to any extent, many times until late
In the winter or early in the spring,
now and then to keep practice in the
art.
Hens Obstinate.
If winter weather comes early,
men that know something about
"fowlology," say that the hens will
boycott snow and cold winds by ir-
reyocably refusing to exercise their
laying capacities, and that unless a
period of warm weather sets in they
are liable to continue their ultimate
ness until the winter breaks in early
spring. But, on the other hand, II
We have mild and balmy weather un-
til December Is, the hen will be so
pleased and tickled at the congen-
eality of the earth that she will start
right in to lay, and not even a bliz-
zard can then stop her. Mrs. Hen Is
erratically obstinate, 1t appears, in
all her actions. II the queen of the
hennery decides to start laying the
first part of December, then the gro
cerymen predict a considerable drop

NORECOCN|TION
FOR CARRANzA
Hale Not to be Given 0ffic-
iaI Credentials In Negotiat-

GAME OF = PATIENCE
Special BIZ Umited Press Wire.

Special by United Press Wire
Washington, Nov. 19:-If further
continuation of the negotiations be-
tween DR.. William Hale and General
Carranza depend on the former re-
ceiving official credentials from the
President they must come to an end.
This was made plain by officials here
today. Hale will not be accredited
to the constitutionalists In manner
that would mean recognition of that
faction as a bonifide government.
O'Shaughnessey, Charge In Mexico
City, was never accredited to Huer-
ia, and Special Envoy Lind, although
outwardly the personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, has the
title Of adviser to the embassy. The
state department now admitting the
receipt Of messages from Hale has
not officially accepted his as its rep
resentative.
The situation, so far as Carranza
is concerned, is now game of pa
tience. President Wilson believes
he can outwait Huerta, and until
Huerta is finally eliminated there
will be no consideration of the next
step unless outrages against for

Rev. GaIassI Says Alleged Pa.
drons Leader Tried to Pro-
cure Money from Laborsr
CHASED WITH REVOLVER
Warrant Sworn Out for Ar
rest of Messino Before Jus-
tice of Peace PhiIo.

Antonio Messino, one of the
alleged padrone leaders at Port
Reading, has been made a defend
ant in another criminal action as the
result of his alleged unlawful tactics
in eXtorting money from coal dock
workers, according to Rev. Colum-
bino Galassi. This latest case has
grown out Of Messino's endeavors to
procure SIS month and later So a
week from a coal dock worker who
asserted repeatedly that he owed
him nothing.
Rev. Galassi says the climax was
capped on Saturday, when, he AYERS,
Messino chased the laborer with a
revolver in his hand.
The complainant, Antonio Visione,
appeared together with Rev. Galassi
before Justice of the Peace Herman
Philo yesterday and swore out war
rant for Messino's arrest. The specific
charge is making threats. According
TO Mr.. Philo, the warrant will be
served today and If sufficient evil
dence Is furnished to substantiate
the charge, Messino will be placed
under bonds to await the action Of
the grand jury.
According to the story Of the
1aborer in question, as related to
Rev. Galassi, and according to the
priests own observations to some ex-
tent, Messino delegated James P.
Gerity, timekeeper for the Philadel-
phia & Reading railroad at Port
Reading, to have the workman sign
a bill against himself for IS more
than a month ago. The man stead
fastly refused, asserting he owed
nothing.
The demand was repeated few
days ago when a bill for $40 was
placed before the workman for his
signature, according to Rev. Calassi.
The man again refused, with the re-
suit that he was informed that
Joseph De Vito, the other alleged
padrone leader, wanted him to sign
the bill. The laborer asked why he
was wanted to approve bill against
himself when he owed the De Vito
company nothing. When Messino
appeared with Gerity, 1t is declared,
Messino almost begged the man to
give him at least So week. Then
Messino began to make threats, 1t
is declared, and the laborer became
more defiant and told him, II he
thought he was able, to proceed and
take the amounts out of his pay.
With this Messino turned to Gerity
and told him to o. X. bill for "
against the man, according to Rev.
Galassi.
The man protested, 1t is stated by
Rev. Galassi, and Messino pulled
reyolyar and chased him, The labor
er ran for his life, at the same time
crying Peter" the name Of the yard
foreman. He was not hurt, but on
the advice of friends he decided to
prefer charges against Messino.
