MEETING TONIGHT To
IMPROVE On SHOWS

in an effort to place public pr 1duc-
tions On more moral and cleaner
tions on a more mora and cleaner
plane In this city.
The management of the Majestic
theatre has taken steps to prevent
the recurrence here of burlesque
shows on the order of the Dresden
Dolls" which showed here the first
part of the week. Because of the
character of the performance, as ex-
hibited here, the company has been
discharged from the Columbia
Amusement Company, of New York,
which books performances for the
local theatre.
1t Is the intention of the manage
ment to uphold that high standard of
theatricals, which has heretofore
characterized the popular playhouse,
and, according to the management, it
was not the intention of the theatre
to put on such a show as the "Dres-
den Dolls" Manager Bullwinkel de-
clared this morning that the contract
had been broken, and that the COM
pany was not sent here in good faith,
and was grossly misrepresented.
Hereafter every burlesque scheduled
to show in the Majestic theatre will
be either censored by the manage
ment personally, or their representa-
tives.
The management contends that a
high class refined burlesque had been
booked and that the Dresden Dolls
were pawned off on them. Mr.. Bull
winkel said the management was as
much disappointed with the perform
ance as the public itself. He said
that Counihan & Shannon, proprie-
tors and owners OF the. theatre, with
an enormous investment here and
other places, are trying their utmost
to give the public perfectly clean and
refined shows, as the policy Of the
theatre under Messrs. Counihan &
Shannon has always been. Mr.. Bull
winkel said that the management
could not afford to offend the public,
not only because of the resulting
financial loss. but because of the loss
to their reputation. He declares 1t
will be and has been the policy OF the
management to give performances
that men. women and children may
attend without impunfty as far - I'M

DONATES SO TO AID
POOR THIS WINTER

DR.. w. w. Hodges. a prominent
dentist in this city, has taken the in
itiative in the starting of subscrip-
tion list to aid the city's poor. He
sent. G check for $40, accompanied
by letter to Mayor Ferd Garretson,
In the latter of which he approves of
the concerted effort started to do
charity work in Perth Amboy. Dr.
Hodges calls attention to the fact
that the city annually raises sub
stantial fund for safe and sane cele-
brations on the Fourth of July and
he asks the question as to why the
public cannot be just as active and
generous in the present instance and
raise as large, If not a larger sum for
the care of the worthy poor here.
Mr. Garretson was greatly pleased
by DR.. Hodges action He stated it
gave support to the idea already ad-
vanced to start a subscription list.
AS DR.. Hodges has taken the first
step In that direction it is believed
that others will follow suit, regard
less of what ways and means may be
decided upon for the collection of
money and goods at the general COM
niittee meeting to be held at Mayor
Garretson's residence this afternoon.
AS told yesterday, a committee of
twelve workers are scheduled to meet
there this afternoon to discuss the
proposition and endeavor to estab-
lish the best means of coping with
the situation. Efforts will then be
made to determine which would be
the best course to pursue in order to
obtain the best results possible.
Mayor Garretson selected persons
whom he believed capable and will
ling to serve on central committee
as a means Of eentralizing the work
Persons of varied nationalities were
chosen and, because of this, it is
hoped to reach the worthy needy in
all parts of the city. The committee
members will thoroughly discuss the
subject this afternoon. It is be-
leved that immediate steps will be
taken to start the work before hard

CHANGE COUNSEL
IN ACTION OVER
k|STRUP ESTATE
epecial TO the EVENING NEWs.

Special to the EVENING NEWs.
New Brunswick, Nov. 20-A
change of attorneys in the action to
settle up the Kistrup estate in Perth
Amboy was made by Judge Daily to-
day, after Judge Daily learned that
Peter A. Peterson, Perth Amboy
barrister, had taken action which his
client In the case had not author
lied The action involved an estate
estimated to be valued at $2,100,
which was the property of three mi
nor children. Peter A. Peterson ap-
peared as counsel for Hans Kiesen,
who was guardian for one of the
heirs. William Walters represented
the other two children concerned.
One of the first moves in the case
was made by Mr.. Peterson, in pre-
senting a petition to have the prop
erty sold. Accordingly Judge DAILY
named a commission of three Perth
Amboy men who were Charles M.
MacWilliam, F. l.. Brown and
Charles White. Mr.. Peterson next
applied to have the petition set aside
Mr.. MacWilliam was requested to in
vestigate the case thoroughly. He
found, according to report made to
the court, that Mr. K1esen had not
authorized the lawyer to withdraw
the petition in question. AS a result
Judge DAILY named Charles X. Sea-
man, Jr., of Perth Amboy, as coun-
sci for Mr. Kiesen in place of Mr.. Pc
terson. The latter has presented a
bill for SIS as compensation for SER
vices rendered. The court held 1t to
be exhorbitant, but took it under
consideration for reference to the
commission.

FIRE SWEEPS BLOCK
IN KEANSBURG; FIRE
CHIEF BADLY HURT
FIRE DEPARTMENTS OF NEARBY
TOWNS RUSH To BIG BLAZE;
FIRE RACES FOR TWO HOURS

to the fire chief the proprietor was
in Keansburg yesterday. The house
was a brilliant mass of flames when
they were seen by Harry Lawrence,
employed by the New Point Beach
Company. They were discovered
about the same time by the fire chief
who was attracted by the blaze that
lit the sky for seemingly mile,
and the chief thought that 1t was a
forest fire on Staten Island.
The only apparatus of the fire de-
partment, chemical engine. was
brought to the scene. but the names
had passed the control of such an
equipment, and the firemen found
their efforts useless. Though they
summoned aid from surrounding
places, they knew 1t could not arrive
before the block of frame buildings
closely connected were destroyed.
They made their final stand against
the raVishes of the blaze between the
carousal and the end of the line Of
buildings. There was a vacant lot
here, and they trained all their
chemicals and water which was
brought in buckets on the earousal
building.
The flames, swept by the wind
eating the wooden buildings one
after the other, were halted and
finally extinguished when they burn
| ed the eleventh building to the
ground, and were unable to catch
the carousal structure. The Keans-
burg firemen were congratulated on
keeping the big confagration from
sweeping the whole beach section, as
they had to combat a gale which
swept the fire before it, and had only
small garden hose, chemical equip
ment and buckets of water to fight
the fire until the arrival of outside
aid, when the flames had been ex-
tinpuishod
