new ADDITION TO LIBRARY
READY IN ABOUT MONTH

Architect Brooks, at meeting of
the Library Board Monday night,
told the trustees that the new ad-
dition to the building would likely
be ready for the formal opening in
about a month. Work in finishing
the interior of the building will be
somewhat delayed by the inability of
the book stack manufacturers to get
their shelves here, much difficulty be-
ing experienced in obtaining steel
because of the large amount used in
supplying the belligerent nations of
Europe.
The matter of furnishing the build
ing with shades WAS brought up and
it was deciaed to prepare specifica-
tions for same, to be submitted to
local dealers who wish tC bi1 upon
them.
The report of the librarian, Miss
Anne o. Shivers, WAS an encourag-
ing one, for 1t showed chat many
of the patrons of the library have
returned since the re-opening IF the
building and are again taking cut
books. The books which are loaned
through the vacation months are
coming in nicely, but the library at
taches are finding difficulty in pro-
curing enough shelf room for the
volumes.
Those present at the meeting were
President Antisell, Mayor Ferd Gar
retson, Messrs Kitchel, Leon, War
ing, Miller and Architect Brooks.

Berlin ContradfcE Sfonr.

Special bU Onited Press Wfre.
Berlin, via wireless to Sayyille,
Sept. 15;-In reaching its conclusion
that the Hesperian was mined and
not torpedoed, the admiralty has dis
regarded the alleged statement of
survivor that he saw a submarine just
before an explosion wrecked the liner.
This statement appeared in Londoa
newspapers reaching here, but it was
pointed out in a statement approved
by the government today that the ex-
plosion occurred at 8:45 o'clock,
when it was quite dark and out of
the question that a submarine could
have been visible. Officials also re-
marked that in other cases definitely
established as mine accidents So
called eyewitnesses have always ap-
peared with statements that they
'saw a submarine or a periscope.
The Admiralty today had Lot re-
ceived the report from the only sub
marine commander still missing,
who was A. sea the on the date the
Hesperian was wrecked, but express
ed confidence that his report will
confirm the state ment that the liner
was mined AMI not torpedoe1.

No Break Until All Honorable
Resorts are Exhausted, is
Given as Presidents Position
by High Authority.
U. S. Is GIVEN ASSURANCE
That Liners Will Not be At
tackled Without Warning
AuStrian-American Situation
is Somewhat improved.

SpeCt0i ~ tRLed f-FeSS Wfs 7
Washington, Sept. IS: - After
carefully analyzing Germany's Ara
bic note, President Wilson decided
that the communication constitutes
an endorsement of Ambassador
Bernstorff's assurance that liners will
not be attacked without warning, it
was learned on high authority today.
While the Hesperian note. accord
ing to Berlin reports reaching the
state department, merely says it is al
most certain that a mine and not a
torpedo sank the steamship, the COM
munication is regarded as further as
surance of Germany's pledge to cease
attacking liners without warning
That there will be no break of re-
lations with Germany until all honor
able resorts are exhausted is given on
high authority as the Presidents po-
sition.
Austrian-American relations were
considered improved also. Ambassa-
dor Dumba's request for recall "on
leave" and his plans for early de-
parture tend to decrease the tension.
Pending the arrival of copies of
papers taken from Captain James f.
]. Archibald, no action will be taken
by the state department against Cap
tain Won Papen, Germany military at
tache.
Ambassador Bernstorff left Wash
ington for New York last night about

FIRST AID CONTEST
FOR COPPER WORKS
Will be Held Saturday-Prizes
of Money for Victorious
Teams-Many Events.

On Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock the First Aid teams of the
Raritan Copper Works are to COM
pete in various first aid problems.
The company has ten teams repre-
senting as many departments, con-
sisting of five men each, who will
participate in these events.
The company has offered a first
prize of s125, second prize of s75
and third prize of $50.
These teams have been studying
first aid methods for number of
months under the direction of Dr.
w. E. Ramsay, plant surgeon, and
have also received a special course
OF instructions by an expert from the
United States government Bureau of
Mines, which branch of the govern
ment service is actively engaged in
training men through the mining
regions in first aid work.
In addition to the several events
in which the teams will participate
there will be an exhibition of res
cue from a smoke filled tunnel by a
picked team from the first aid corps.
This team will wear oxygen helmets
and will resuscitate the patient with
the lungmotor after he has been
brought into the open air.
Ball Game, Too.
There will be an exhibition game
of ball between the~Raritan Copper
Works, winners of the 1915 Factory
League and the strong United Lead
Company's team, who finished sec
ond in the Factory League, for a
prize of s25.
The contests are to be judged by
local physicians, w. E. Ramsay, M.
D., officiating as the chief judge, as
sisted by Drs. F. G. Henry, ]. v.
Shull, J. L. Lund, G. w. Fithian, M
S. Meinzer.
Recorders are c. E. Ullman and
T. E. Ramsay and the reception com
mittee is headed by G. e. Fulton,
chairman, assisted by C. H. Aldrich,
Edward Clark and D. Gibbons

The company is endeavoring to

of this kind in the history of the
city.
Movies of Event.
Through the enterprise of Ned K
Miller, manager of the Ditmas, pic
lures of the first aid contests will
be taken Saturday afternoon. Not
cnly will Perth Amboyans have a
chance to see how moving pictures
are made, but they will have a
chance to see their friends, employees
of the Raritan Copper Works, in ac-
ton in the first aid contests next
week, probably Wednesday and
Thursday, on the screen at the Dit
mas theatre. The pictures will be
taken and produced by the Universal
Company.
After the first aid films are shown
here next week they will be used In
the Universal weekly news film that
is circulated all over the country
In this way Perth Amboy will re-
ceive considerable boosting, the first
aid movement will be exploited and
will probably benefit conditions in
other plants in the eastern part OF
the country.

PROGRESSIVES WILL PLAN
ON COMPLETE CITY TICKET

Endorsements OF prospective city
candidates will probably be made by
Progressives at a meeting of the
Perth Amboy Progressive Club in
the Office of DR.. G. W. Tyrrell Friday
night. 1t is the intention of the
members to select candidates and
make endorsements at that time.
According to statements among Pro-
,gressives here today. several of the
city candidates on the Republican
dorsed. Similar statements were
made by some prominent Progress
sives concerning the county ticket
but at the meeting here Saturday
night the Bull Moose tribe picked it's
own candidates.
Several of the Democratic candi-
dates in the city were scheduled to
be endorsed by the Progressives, ac-
cording to reports in circulation to-
day. Just how far this plan will be
carried when the Bull Moosers meet,
remains to be seen. 1t appears that
there are several who want to wage
war against the opposing parties to
the bitter end they would not give
their opponents an inch by either en-
dorsing their men or favoring them
in any other way. 1t has been gener-
ally claimed that Progressive activ-
ity has been damaging to Republi-
cans. The G. o. P. followers now
claim that the Progressives stand
with both feet in the grave and that
they are harmless so far as any one
opposing party is concerned. There
are a number of Republican leaders
who claim that the naming of Pro-
gressive candidates draws more from
the Democratic ranks than from the
c. o. P. side.

NEW INDUSTRY At
PERTH AMBOY PLANT
National Synthetic Company to
Manufacture Chemicals at
Former OStrander Plant.

Having leased the ps>,perty for
merly occupied by the Perth Amboy
Fire Brick Company at Ostrander, on
the outskirts of this city, the Ma
tional Synthetic Company, private
enterprise, is making ready to com
mence the manufacture of chemicals
and dyestuffs there, with the appar-
ent intention of putting out line of
goods that, prior to the war were i'm
ported from Germany and other
European countries.
Collin, Wells & Hughes, New
York law firm with offices at 120
Broadway, are foreclosing a mort
gage on the property, which has been
idle for some time Since the prop
erty has been idle the Perth Amboy
Board of Trade and P. H. Burnett, in
dustrial commissioner of the Lehigh
Valley railroad, have been in COM
munication with the law firm in an
effort to locate an
property, which consists of 235 acres
and 500 feet of river front.
Making Alterations.
Extensive alterations are now be-
ing made at the plant, about seventy
ton work there prior to the start of
active operations. When the plant is
opened it Is believed that over hun
dred men will be employed there, the
majority being expert technical men
and high class unskilled laborers.
DR.. Harold Won der Linde, who
has offices at No. so Broadway, New
York City, is now in Perth Amboy
experimenting the activities at the
new plant DR.. Won der Linde said
this morning that the new concern
was solely a private enterprise; that
no rating had been asked from COM
mercial agencies and that no favors
had been asked from the banks. He
said while the plans of the new COM
pany were hardly in state of COM
pletion, that they hoped as far as
possible to give employment to Perth
Amboy men and expressed a wish
that their relations with the people
of this city would be very pleasant.
Some time ago, in reply to in
quiries made by Secretary Hugh
Lynch, of the Board of Trade, Col
lin, Wells & Hughes stated that they
were foreclosing a mortgage on the
property and that it would probably
be sold or leased during the middle
of this month to concern manufac-
turing war munitions. Dr. Won der
Linde, however, intimated this
morning that his concern had no in
tention of manufacturing supplies
for the belligerent countries.
The property is to be sold at
sheriff's sale September 21. but DR..
Won der Linde said this morning that
the sale would not affect his COM
pany, it having procured certain
rights and options protected in the
event of the property passing into
other hands. 1t is possible that the
National Synthetic Company will bid
on the property at the sale

Registration yesterday for the
primary election was light as of last
year. The total number registered
yesterday was 895, which is forty
seven less than registered on the
first registration day last year. How
ever, the total number of men regis
tered to vote at the primaries is
larger than that of 1914 by 262.
Figures obtained at the closing of
the registration places last night
show that 4,53S are qualified to vote
at~the primary election on Septem-
Der 28, as compared with 4,276 quail
flied last year and 4,483 in 1913.
The difference in the number of
voters registered to vote at the pri-
maries over the number eligible last
year indicates that there are 262
new voters who will participate in
the primaries this year. This amount
is considered large, as such an in
crease has seldom if ever before oc-
Cured Figures obtained yesterday
Indicate that there are new voters
for the primaries in all of the polling
places excepting one district of the

estimate the increase by districts in

been divided into three districts.
More Polling Places.
The number of polling places in
the city was this year swelled from
fourteen to fifteen, there being now

primaries, having 365. The first

In the second district of the second

Except for the aspirants for nomi-
nations for excise board positions,
there are practically no contests in
the city. The big contest surrounds
Prosecutor w. Edwin Florance and
Assem- blyman Arthur A. Quinn, both
of whom are aspirants for the state
senatorial nomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket. The Democratic organ
ization is working hard in favor of
Mr.. Florance, while Mr.. Quinn and
his friends are eXerting every effort
TO land the nomination for him.
y 1t was not necessary for those who
voted at the last general election to
register yesterday in order to par
ticipate in the primaries, but all vot-
ers, regardless of whether or not
they voted last year, must register
for the general election to be held
November 2. The other meetings of
election officers for registrations will
be on primary day, September 28 and
October 10.
