NEEDLESsLY, IS
CHIEFS CLAIM

I Chief Engineer Paul M. Woit,
scheck, or the Perth Amboy fire de-
partment is determined to stop the
continual calling out of firemen to
blazes at garbage dumps. The fire
chief says that If the dumps are kept
covered with dirt they would not be
set afire by mischievous children
In an effort to prevent the tiremen
from being called needlessly, Mr.
Woitscheck conferred with Mayor
Garretson yesterday in reference to
the covering of the dumps Of Graham
& McKeon at the foot of Johnstone
street; and the city dumps in the
vicinity of Grant and Paterson
streets. The mayor promised to aid
the fire chief, and Graham & McKeon
will be notified to have their dumps
covered.
A small fire occurred in the home
of John Barkan at 728 Cortlandt
street, about O'Clock yesterday az
ternoon, but was eXtinguished before
the firemen arrived. The FIRE ori3i-
mated from an overheated stove, un-
protected by a metal sheet on which
to stand, according to the invassiga-
ton made by Chief Woitscheck and
/ Second Assistant Anderson. Fhe
damage amounted to about $15.

ARRIVE EARLY To
TRADE HERE ON
SUBURBAN DAY

The usually dull Wednesday for
merchants in this city was enlivened
today when many shoppers were at
tracted here to do their trading be-
cause OF the special fare-refunding
offer made by progressive merchants
of Perth Amboy on Suburban Day.
Then, too, the unusual bargains in
seasonable goods, afforded another
alluring inducement to come to this
city.
The weather was ideal for the
shopping trip, and many rose early
and came here by trolley to do their
dealing Trolley cars later in the
day, however, brought more shop
pers, and the store keepers did bet
ter business In proportion. From all
indications patrons appreciate Su-
burban Day, introduced by wide
awake business men for the inter-
ests of their customers.

URGE ISOLATION
TO HALT SPREAD
Of DIPHTHER|A

Efforts of the Board Of Health to
prevent the spread Of diphtheria dur
ing the past month have proven fu
tile and the health commissioners be-
lieve that the only way in which con-
tagious disease in this city can be
controlled is by the use of an isola-
ton hospital or a number of nurses
who could visit the cases daily and
enforce complete isolation. The re-
port of Health officer Willsey shows
that in October there were thirty
seven cases of diphtheriaa as COM
pared with seventeen for 1918.
In his report to the board at the
meeting last night Health officer
Willsey said: "As it is today, many
people think that when the patient
has desire to leave the bed.yand II
it is a o'sild they. want them to re-
tur school at once. The forty
n cases of diphtheria, scarlet fe-
yer and typhoid fever were all in
vestigated and the nurse, which is
usually the mother, is instructed in
the use of disinfectants and at the
termination of the disease, the rooms
occupied by the patient are fumi-
gated
A large amount Of work has been
done In the laboratory, sixty-five
diphtheria cultures having been ex-
amined. Twenty-three samples OF
milk were examined during the
month and with one exception all
were found to be of standard quality.
The dealer selling the milk found to
be below standard was fined SIS.
Owing to the careless methods en-
ployed in the slaughtering of ami
mails and the many instances found
where the animals have been dis
eased, the State Board of Health has
revoked the license of Max Shapiro,
as proprietor of the slaughter house.
Fearing that the closing OF the ab-
attoir will result in promiscuous kill
ing of animols all over the city, the
Board Of Health will probably re-
license the slaughter house under
new management. The report Of the
inspections at the slaughter house
last month show that of 1874 amin ais
slaughtered, two cows. two pigs and
the diseased parts of twenty-five
others were condemned and dena-
tured.
The methods employed by the
state authorities in regard to the
tuberculin test for COWS were dis
cussed. 1t was stated at the meet
ing that in some instances owners
of dairies whose cows have been
tested were given a higher rating Of
five points by the state authorities,
although number of the animals
had been found infected. In such
cases the owners were notified to get
rid Of the diseased cows as soon as
possible, but the local officials be-
lieve that this method only encour-
ages the disposition OF tubercular
cows to other dairymen.
Members present at last nights
meeting were Messrs. sOvergaard,
Smith, PETE and Stilwell, Secretary
La Roe and Health Officer Willsey.

RIVAL MEXICAN
CHIEFS BATTLE:
CRISIS IS NEAR

Special by United Press Wire
Washington, Nov. 11:-Peace or
war between factions in Mexico hung
in the balance today, Officials here
believe the crisis in the breach be-
tween General Carranza and the
peace convention and Villa was to be
reached before night. From the
president down official hope and be-
lief were that another civil conflict
might yet be avoided. With hostili-
ties resumed near Naco between
General Hill and Natorinas armies
and reports of mobilization of other
forces of the rival factions, the stu
alton pointed to danger of renewed
strife
The state department awaited
official confirmation of reports that
Carranza has agreed to all American
demands looking to evacuation of
Vera Cruz. Even with complete
compliance by Carranza, In official
circles 1t was doubted whether any
date for departure of American
troops would be set until conditions
become more settled. General belief
is that Vera Cruz cannot be turned
over until some one man is settled

WEAVER, KELLY
AND JORGENSEN
WILL RUN AGAIN

I Present Indications are that
Alderman-at-large w. Guy Weaver
and Aldermen John w. Kelly and
Chris Jorgensen will be candidates
for reelection next fall Prominent
Democrats pin their faith in these
men and announce their belief that
they will again be chosen. They
contend that their records have been
good and that they warrant their re-
election. Alderman John Kutcher
has served more than one term as
alderman from the fourth ward, and
1t appears unlikely that he will be a
candidate again next year.
Basing their statement upon the
contention that zone good term de-
serves another" as in the case of
Congressman Thomas ]. Scully,
County Clerk Bernard M. Cannon
and Mayor Ferd Garretson, leading
Democrats here say that the present
alderman and representa-
tives of the second and sixth wards
should be returned. Messrs. Weaver,
Kelly and Jorgensen are now serving
their initial terms as city fathers.
For a time this year it appeared as
tH0usn MI. weaver nl6ht nave pe-
come the mayoralty candidate to OPP
pose Mayor Garretson, but 1t was
decided by leaders OF his party here
to refrain from jeopardizing its
strength in the Board of Aldermen,
AS announced few days ago, 1t
is believed that the next Democratic
candidate for alderman from the
fourth ward will be either August
Kroeger or Henry Toft.

LABOR MEN MAY
ALSO PROTEST ON
COPPER SEIZURE

Various commercial organizations
of the United States are acting upon
the suggestion advanced by the local
Board of Trade in entering a protest
with Secretary of State Bryan against
the seizure of unwrought copper by
the British government and the dec
laration of the metal as contrabrand
of war Following talk with Sec
retary Lynch yesterday, Edwin S.
Walker, district secretary of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
agreed to take up the matter with
the Washington bureau at once.
The matter will be presented to the
New Jersey State Chamber of Com
merce at meeting of the trustees of
that organization Friday and the Jer-
seysSC City Chamber OF Commerce will
act upon the matter today. The
Elizabeth Board of Trade is also con-
|sidering the proposition.
No word has yet been received from
Congressman Scully or Senator
/ Hughes regarding the results OBJ
tanned by their visit to the War De-
partment yesterday in an endeavor to
protect the transportation of copper
Central Labor Union to Protest.
Realizing that the embargo on
shipments of copper to the countries
of Europe that are at war may cause
the Raritan Copper Works and the
American Smelling and Refining
Company to close, the Central Labor
Union, at it's meeting tomorrow night,
will likely pass a resolution of pro-
test against the seizure Of copper en-
route to neutral countries. This in
dustrial catastrophe, members Of the
Central Labor Union feel, would rob
between 1900 and 1000 more men
of their jobs, and the union wants to
protect the working men of this city,
On the passage of the resolution its
context will be wired to Washington
to add weight to the protests that
have already been sent to the state
department.
Tomorrow night will be the first
meeting of the Central Labor Union
in two weeks, and members of that
body during that time have been
watching the trend of events and TAX
en- note of the seizure of copper laden
ships by England, which were on
their way to neutral countries.
The matter of protest will be
considered and facts on the subject
presented before the council, when
vote will be taken as to making a
protest to the state department In be-
half of labor in this district.
Copper For Domestic Use Only.
Washington, Nov. 1.-The Brit
ish ambassador Informed the state
department yesterday that he had
been advised by his government that
while Italy prohibited the exporta-
ton of copper, 1t did not prevent its
transit over italian territory.
Consequently the ambassador said
the British government would feel
compelled to detain copper ship
ments to Italy unless assured that
they were for domestic consumption
or were in transit to Switzerland.
