Perth Amboy Hucksters' Association,
today declared that there was every
reason in the world why the huck-
sters should be encouraged, rather
than be opposed. He stated that the
hucksters were selling considerably
cheaper than the farmers and the
spectators who do business at the
public market He added, also, that
IL it were not for the fact that the
hucksters are continuously selling
their products at lower prices than
the others no trouble would have
been started.
Charles Hyman. acting secretary OF
the hucksters association, stated that
the public is getting the benef1t OF
the hucksters' low prices and that at
this time when the country has COM
to realize the burden of the
high cost of the farmers products,
the local public should appreciate
greatly the efforts Of the hucksters TO
give them these products at the low
est possible prices.
Jacob Belafsky, treasurer of the
association, stated that the efforts to
drive the hucksters from their stands
at the public market is a great injus-
tice Mr.. Belafsky pointed out that
all of the hucksters are taxpayers
here, that they also pay the city for
hucksters' licenses and that in other
ways they are q source Of revenue to
the community.

against the Monmouth County Eslec-
trio Company and Clarence +. Sexton
and William G.. Boteler, receivers of
the company, as the result of an NC
cident on the road on August 4, 1915.
The plaintiffs are Mrs. Katherine
Riley and her husband, Joseph Riley.
of New York City. Mrs. Riley sues
for $4,000 damages for injuries re-
ceived in the accident. and her hus-
band asks damages of 100000 for the
expense and trouble and for the loss
of his wife's services and companion
ship.
On the date mentioned, Mrs. Riley
was a passenger on a trolley car
bound from Red Bank to Oceanic,
when the car jumped the track and
turned over on its side. She was bad
ly injured, she claims. and in her bill
of complaint alleges that she Is par

1t is charged by the plaintiffs that
the car was carelessly operated and
at excessive and illegal speed; that 1t
was not provided with adequate
brakes; also that the track and road
bed were not in proper condition
These things caused the accident. 1t

DRY AME ENDMENT Is
TO Be DELAYED AGAIN

Washington, Aug. 3.-Nation wide
prohibition as disturbing influence in
congress appears to be eliminated for
the balance of the present session at
least.
Due to a house decision to consider
only war measures at this time, the
prohibition amendment, passed~by the
senate Wednesday, win probably go
over to the winter session.
"It is likely that no action will be
taken by the house before the new con-
gress convenes," said Representative
Webb, house "dry'''seader. "The house
has decided to take up only war meas
ares. When the dry bill comes up 1t
will pass overwhelmingly"
House "drys" talked Of Democratic
caucus to determine whether prohibi-
hon shall be brought up despite the
previous caucus agreement to consider
lot soth M Z { but - var measures; .-,,~s-~s-
The opponents of the measure are
divided as between two courses One
clement would concentrate its efforts
On preventing the Joint resolution from
reaching vote in the house.
Put II Up to States.
Another group, feeling that such
course would be more or less futile, Is
Of the opinion that 1t would be better
20 let the amendment go before the
states, trusting that not enough of the
states can be persuaded to ratify it
within the six year period specified In
the Joint resolution.
1t requires ratification by thirty six
Of the forty EIGHT states for a consti-
tutional amendment to be adopted, and
the "wets" rely on thirteen and per-
haps seventeen states to balk at the
proposition.
Those states upon which the liquor
forces pin their firmest hopes are New
York, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New Jersey. Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Missouri, Louisiana and California.
Kentucky, Texas, Delaware and New
Hampshire are looked upon by the
"wets'' as less certain, but promising.
"Drysp concsde Nothing.
The ''drys," however, do not even
concede the states which the liquor
men regard as certain to be on their
side. Prohibition leaders point to Mary
land, for example, as particularly
weak reed for the ''wets" to lean on,
for while Baltimore is undoubtedly
wet" the rest of the state is practical
ly all dry, and of the 1913 members Of
the Maryland legislature only twenty
eight hail from Baltimore despite the
fact that the popular vote of the city
Is about half that of the state.
Pending action by the states the
agreement by the conferees on the
food bin appears to make it certain
that for the period of the war at least
the country win be on partial dry"
basis at least.
Under the prohibition section of the
food bill agreed to the manufacture of
distilled spirits would be prohibited alb
solufely during the war and the presi-
dent givea power to limit II necessary
the manufacture of light wines and
beers and to commander for military
or other public purposes such distilled
liquors IN or out Of bond as he may
deem 1t advisable for the government
to acquire.

STATE EDUCATION BID.
TO MEET TOMORROW
BIZ Special Correspondent.


Trenton. Aug. S.-Several important
matters are scheduled to come before
the State Board of Education at its
regular monthly meeting here tonor-
row. Two of these things will be the
probable selection of the site for the
South Jersey Norman School and the
approving of the tentative course In
physical training prepared by State
Commissioners of Education Kendall
under the act passed at the last scs-
sion of the legislature.
Three communities understood to be
in the running for the location of the
normal school are Woodbury., Mill
Vile and Bridgeton. The former Is
the county seat of Gloucester and the
last two named are In Cumberland
county. with Bridgeton as the county
seat. A fourth place considered
possibility for the site is Pleasantville
in Atlantic county. Governor Walter
e. Edge attended school there as a
boy. Different members of the state
board have been maxim personal in.
spections of the sites offered in South
Jersey by the different committees and
a decision is looked for on Saturday.
A committee of the state board, con-
sisting of Edgar II. Sturtevant. of
Bergen county; ID. Stewart Craven.
Salem, and Melvin A Rice, of Red
Bank. appointed by the board to go
over the course In physical training
| prepared by Commissioner Kendall,
have already given their approval to
| these plans.
| The question of voting either for or
against a course in military training
in the public schools is also still pend
! ing before the state board. A hear
| ing was held some time ago to hear
arguments for and against the prop
osition. The same act providing for
the physical training contained pro-
vision for military instruction In the
high schools. after 1t would be
approved by the state board. or any
district board. In the event the state
board voted the proposition down.

TH0RPE'S LAST CHANCE
Making Final Effort for Big League
Job at Marlin.

MARLIN, Tex, March 2.-Jim
Thorpe. the famous Indian athlete, is
receiving his last chance to make
good as a major league player. Thorpe
is here with the Giants and is eager
TO prove that he belongs in fast COM
pany. He played with the Milwaukee
American Association club last year,
and in 143 games he had a batting
average of PA. Incidentally Thorpe
knocked out ten home runs and led
the circuit in stolen bases with forty
eight TO his credit. Thorpe will have
a hard time to crowd himself into the
Giants outfield. Burns, Kauff, and
Robertson look like fixtures. McGraw
also has Jack Murray and George
Kelly to be used In case of accidents.
But IL Thorpe can hit the ball as he
did last year he will be selected as an
outfield substitute instead of Murray.
Kelly will be retained as a substitute

MAY USE STADIUM
FOR ANNUAL GAMES
Field and Track Meet May Be
Staged at Central
This'Spring.

High school athletes participating
in the annual field and track games
May IL will probably use the new
Central stadium 1t is intimated. at
the school that the stadium Is the log
ical place for the affair. and, while
definite action has yet to be taken,
It is thought that the advisers will
have no difficulty in getting the use
Of the track for the meet.
Past years have found the athletes
competing at the Maryland State Col
lege track, at Georgetown and else
where. Never in the history OF track
sports in this city have the high
schools been assured of a place in
which to stage their games.
Field II Modern.
The new stadium contains q thor
oughly modern track. There Is a hun
dred-yard straightaway and 220-yard
dash with one turn. In addition there
are jumping pits for both pole vault
ing and high jumping.
Central will probably have its ath-
letes out as soon as Is possible. Ef-
fort viii be made to get the boys out
of doors in the near future, as Coach
Foley is intent upon sending his relay
team to Philadelphia for the annual
Penn relay carnival
Asks for Stadium.
The faculty advisers have already
gone on record as asking for the use
OF the field in football next fall. 1t
is thought that the annual football
games will be staked there.
Groundkeeper Fitzgerald will prob
ably allow the boys the use OF the
field in baseball this spring unless the
grass is too tender. Last fall the
field was thought to be too soft for
football games, although Central
staged many practices on the Row
field.

ACCIDENT SPELLS SUCCESS
Maupome's Billiard Career Due TO
Whenehed Ankle.

Much has been written about the
queer quirks and twists of fortune.
and 1t is fact that the most trivial
happenings have shaped destinies
and even upset empires. Here, how
ever, Is new one. Pierre Maupome
the Mexican billiard wizard, attributes
his meteoric rise in the cue world 10
a sprained ankle. About twenty years
ago Maupome, whose fantastic skill
as three-cushion player has earned
him a reputation that is known from
coast TO coast, was a cycIist.
One day in st. Louis while bowling
nsrrily along on his machine he
wrenched his ankle. Looking around
forya place TO rest, he espied a billiard
hall, and forthwith entered. While
stopping there he became interested
in the game. Thereafter he devoted
much of his time to learning It's
principles. He proved an apt pupil
and gradually developed his latent
talent and became an expert.
