2 PENALTIES FOR
EXCISE VIOLATION
Two Fines Aggregating $40
Imposed Upon Peter Hor-
bait in Local Court.

A double penalty OF fines aggre-
eating $40 was imposed last night
upon Peter Horbatt, keeper of a
saloon at Oak and Fayette streets, for
doing business on the Sabbath and
for selling bottled beer without the
necessary license. His arrest and ar
raignment before Acting Recorder
Stephen f. Somogyi came as part
of a quiet crusade against speak
easies and licensed drinking places
that are conducted illegally. 1t Is
known that Prosecutor Joseph E..
Stricken is vigorously opposed to
such lawlessness that he has in
structed his staff to do everything
possible to wipe out illegal liquor
trade in the county and that he Is
otherwise devoting his best efforts to
cleaning up excise conditions in Mid
dleSex county.
operating with him, as was requested
soon after he took office as prosecu-
tor, has been evinced on more than
one occasion the past few months.
Sunday was another instance of vigil
lance on the part of local police on
that score and it is declared more
arrests can be expected If liquor
dealers, licensed or unlicensed, per-
sist in violating the laws.
Horbatt was placed under arrest
soon after Patrolman Nels Lybeck had
espied Frank Pushwea, of 277 Smith
street, emerge from the saloonkeep-
er's place carrying six bottles of beer
Sus,ay morning. The officer saw that
there was a double violation of excise
laws and he promptly arrested both
the liquor dealer and the witness.
Hobatt was arraigned in police court
last night and admitted that Pushwea
had purchased bottles of beer in his
place Sunday. Acting Recorder So
mogyi fined him $40 for doing busi-
ness on Sunday and $40 for selling
bottled beer without having bottling
license. The saloonkeeper was
warned that the next offence would
mean prosecution in the higher courts.
Horbatt paid $40 of the fines and fur
nished a guarantee to pay the remain
ing balance within short time. =

TEN BROCK ENTHUSIASTIC

Active preparations for fittingly
observing the two hundredth ami
versary of the granting of the first
charter to the City Of Perth Amboy
In 1918 will be started early in Janu-
ary. according to plans of Mayor
Ferd Garretson. He expects that a
committee Of citizens will be named
about that time to confer and decide
upon the scope of a demonstration.
His ideas would provide for a well
proportioned and lively celebration,
the days of which would fall upon
every occasion on which there was
q convention, congress or other i'm
portant gathering in the city during
1918.
That Perth Amboy will gaily cele-
brate Its charater anniversary in q
manner that will rival all other dem
onstrations OF like character ever
held In the state Is evinced by the
preliminary plans of those behind
the movement. chiefly Mayor Garrett
son. Prof1ting by the experience un-
dergone in Newark by a celebration
which. it is claimed. became dull be-
cause 1t was strung out over too long
a period, he advocates a shorter and
much more snappy celebration. He
advocates the arrangement of time
SO that there will be no dull moments
and every hour of the celebration
will be enjoyable to both local and
out-of-town people.
Mayor Garretson is pleased : with
Mayor-elect John F. Ten Broeck's at
titude toward the coming celebration.
He said today the mayor-elect's stand
makes It practically certain that Perth
Amboy will enjoy one of the biggest
history ry-celebrating events OF its exist.

tion now, he says. are the financing OF

Of scope for successful demonstra-
ton. 1t Is his belief that from $4,000
to $40, 900 win be necessary to success
fully carry out the plans now vaguely
outlined. The dates of the celebration
would be spared over the time during
which conventions and other large
gatherings are held here In 1918, ac-
cording to his ideas.
Indications are that efforts will be
made to have Mayor Garretson head
the general committee of arrangements
for the celebration. Announcement of
the names of workers can be expected
in January. They will be given a full
year In which to make plans for 1918.

of them declared secretly that yester-

hoped for a change In the law If
Hughes was successful. The confer

operation of the law.
The Brotherhoods as we'll as the

Irregularity in South Amboy?

opet'uf 10 tHt q v NiNO NE H6.
South Amboy, Nov. 14-Definite ac-
ton was decided upon last night that
may change the result of the recent
election, not only in South Amboy,
but settle definitely the question Of
congressional district.
A meeting of the Republicans was
held in their rooms at the Pariseu
building last night. at which it devel-
oped there had been alleged irregular-
ity in the second ward in that w. H.
Parisen, candidate for councilman,
was permitted to take a number OF
the ballots from the ballot box and
hand them to the judge OF the cleo
ton board during the canvassing Of
the vote. 1t is stated he only did this
after his assistance had been res
quested.
Some think this is sufficient to have
the vote of the entire ward thrown
out. AS Mr. Scully received large
majority vote in the second ward q
discard of the vote would definitely
settle the question of who was elected
from the third congressional district.
A discard of the vote would also
mean the election of W. s. Dey as
mayor and E. S. Mason as council<
man at large of the city. Just what
effect this would have in the council
but 1t is said neither candidate would
be elected and the council would have
to appoint. AS the council would be
equally divided between the two par
ties, a happy time might be looked
for.
