CALL SLAUGHTER
HOUSE NUISANCE
Residents of Western Section
Complain to Aldermen of
Noises of Cattle There
WANT CITY TO BUY IT
Proposition Would Pay and
Nuisance Would be Abated--
Confer With Health Board

Complaining that the slaughter
house in the western section Of the
city is a menace to health owing to
the fact that cattle are kept there
night after night to be slaughtered
next day and that their cries at night
keep the neighborhood awake and
that something should be done to
stop this, Alderman Chris Anderson
brought this matter before the Board
of Aldermen at their committee
meeting last night and IL his plans
are carried out the city will buy the
slaughter house and conduct 1t as a
municipal proposition that will short
ly pay for itself.
Alderman Anderson and William
Zangenberg of New Brunswick ave-
nue., as representatives of the people
living In the western section of the
city, had arranged to appear before
the Board of Health to protest
against the slaughter house condition
at night, but when the health conf
missioners failed to meet they ap-
peared before the aldermen.
They told how the western section
of the city had grown during the past
few years and that while they real
ICED that q slaughter house was q
necessity in q city they felt that the
owner Of the place should not be al
lowed to bring live stock into the
place and keep It over night as the
cries of the cattle made life unbear-
able at night for the people living In
that section of the city.
They told how at times there are
as many as forty calves IN the
slaughter house enclosure and hun
dreds of pigs and many cows.
They also told how they had heard
that a company was now being form
ed to buy up pigs in this city and to
send them to the slaughter house
and keep them there until they are
ready to be killed. This, they think,
would be a bad idea and think that
pigs and other cattle should be quar-
tered In a section outside of the city
until they are ready to be killed.
1t is the plan Of Alderman Ander-
son to have the city buy this slaugh-
ter house, the money to be raised by
q bond issue and In q little while he
states that the proposition will be q
paying plan for the city.
Alderman Anderson and Mr.. Zsng-
enberg will see President Dilts of the
Health Board todsy and see II he
cannot have an inspector placed at
the slaughter house at night and in
stead of allowing the cattle to be shut
UP in the enclosure to kill them.

was neld business meeting at which
matters came up for discussion before
the congregation that deal with the
welfare of the church in the lmmedi-
ate future. Reports were read that
showed the expenses incurred in erect
Ing the present structure. and also the
financial condition In which the
church is at the present time.
The principle discussion was in the
matter of heating facilities and it was
finally decided to authorize the trus-
tees TO Immediately have Installed a
steam heating plant. so that the con-
gregaton could commence worship
ping in the church at the earliest pos
sible date.

Papers welcome Him.

By Associated Press.
PARIS. Dec. 1s.-(Havas)--An
welcoming President Wilson to France
and assuring the American president
of the hearty reception waiting him in
Paris.
"since the United States has gle
iously fought IN the great strugsn
which has convulsed Europe" gays
the Temps, I'VE wish that country to
continue to interest itself in European
problems. Henceforth, the French
and American people will know each
other better. Our smallest villages
will always remember the American
soldiers. The Americans. for their
part, will carry home with them men,
ories of France. We love to think that
President Wilson. when he will have
returned to the White House, will re-
call in his meditations the image of
Paris which will greet him tomorrow"
The Matin published an address of
Marshal Joffre to President Wilson.
The marsha. says:
France owes an immense debt of
gratitude to America which gave us
victory. IT is with sincere joy that we
see President Wilson arriving. recof-
lecting all he did and thinking of al
he can do. Thousands Of French lives
were saved by the Intervention Of the
United States. 1t is with all my heart
that will join tomorrow in the cry OF
the whole French people: Long Live
the United States, Long Live Will
soni'"
The front pages of the newspapers
were devoted to details of the recep-
ton to be accorded to President Will
son by Paris today. Pictufes of Mr..
and Mrs Wilson were printed by all
the newspapers; long editorials re-
counting characteristics of the presi-
dent. outlining his policies and de-
scrfbing his works during the war
filled these newspapers.

WILSON GREETED BY CHEERING THR0NCS IN PARIS
Last of MIdura Gang Captured
In Bayonne and Brought Here

Detective william Hartmann went
to Bayonne yesterday and brought
back TO this city Louis Schultz, the
last of the Midura gang OF thieves,
and he will be taken to the county
workhouse at New Brunswick today
to await trial. According to Detec-
tives Hartmann and Gutowski he has
confessed his part in the robberies in
this city and nearby towns.
When Hartmann went to Bayonne
he found that Schultz was working
in shipyard under the name of
Meyers. He had recently been ar
rested on a charge Of stealing jewelry
in that city and was known to the
police of Bayonne.
The thing that is puzzling the local
police is the fact that Midura, who
was sentenced to the Jamesburg Re-
formatory last July, escaped from
that place month ago and they re-
ceived no word of his escape from
the Jamesburg authorities.
