Excise Commissioner Finds En-
tertaInment at Ernst House
Has Been Closed but Charges
Violation Of City Ordinance.
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN

Keeping faith with the legislation
of the Board Of Excise Commissioners
adopted the first of the year, Presi-
dent Daniel w. Boehm took personal
steps, without aid, last night, to see
that the revised excise ordinance Is
being properly enforced.
Mr.. Boehm found that the cabaret
at the Ernst House in New Brunswick
avenue had been closed and the pro-
prietor promised not to reopen the
place. Mr.. Boehm declared that the
operation Of the cabaret was openly
In direct violation of the city ordi-
nance. However, several officials
connected with the enforcement of
the excise ordinance declare that the
proprietor would not have dared run
a cabaret unless he had received some
kind of verbal permission from one Of
the members of the excise board,
which the officials believe vas given
in an informal manner.
Chief of Police Burke declared this
morning that II in the opinion of the
president of the excise board the en-
tertainment which had been put on
recently at the Ernst House consti-
tuted cabaret, he would see that 1t
is not resorted to again, and that he
lvil1 close all places which In his opin-
Ton is operating contrary to the ordi-
nance.
Mr.. Boehm pgs only visited the
Ernst House last night, but went to
every other place that he thought
might be covertly trying to restore
the cabaret and the places which he
had granted special permission for
music to see Ii they we're taking ad-
vantage of their privilege. These
permissions were only given for we'd
dings and singing societies. He
found violations.

ARMY WORMS ARE
N0W|NS0UTHERN
SECTION OF CITY

49,. .a, ~. 4 ys5l
The yerdant lawns OF the southern
section of the city are at stake, and
the owners are hereby warned that
the army worm has been discovered
in this part of Perth Amboy. At first
they were only in Washington and
Broad streets, that Is during last
week, but the parasites of the grass
blade are emigrating southward.
They have been discovered as far
south as Paterson street, west of
State, though they have not been re-
ported east of that thoroughfare.
City Hall Custodian Mason has
begun to worry and fears the pres
ence of the insidious worm at any
minute on his we'll kept lawns, front
of the city hall. Every green plot
the caterpillars attack is ravished
OF its greenness, and the weakened
grass blades, gnawed to shreds,
soon wither and die.
A line of dust will stop the pro-
gress of an army worm, according to
Lehigh Valley railroad. In a letter
to the farmers along the line OF the
railroad sent out today they are told
a mere furrow of earth will protect
their fields effectively.
ITO stop the army worm" he says
e dust furrow is most satisfactory
1t is the best way to protect all grass
plots too. Once the army worm has
got started on plot, however,
here is sure way to kill him:
mix fifty pounds of bran with two
and half pounds Of paris green.
TO this add solution made of five
gallons of molasses and nine gallons
of water to which has been added
the juice of eight lemons together
with their pulp and rind chopped
fine. Spread this over your lawn
when it is half dry
