flag which was on top of one of

ground. One Of the movers, not
noticing the incident accidently
stepped upon 1t. No more had
this been done than the cry of
pro German" arose from some
one nearby and the man was i'm
mediately surrounded by persons
living in the neighborhood who
had heard the cries.
An officer was called and the
man, Steve Hold, of 622 Penn

ing taken to the poNce station by

terfered with the officer. She too
was then placed under arrest and
taken to the station with the man.

MAKE EFFORT TO SECURE
ICE FROM UP THE HUDSON

Owing to the inability of the ice
companies In this city 70 secure an al
Requate supply from the big concerns
which have supplied them up til this
time, efforts are now being made py
the e, ]. Dorsey & Sons and the Perth
Amboy Coal & Ice Company TO secure
a boat load of ice from some plant up
along the Hudson river.
II a load of 500 or 700 tons could
be secured in this way 1t would De
sufficient to divert the ice famine
which has been threatening Perth
Amboy since the early part OF last
week.
Conditions this morning were no
better than they were yesterday
worse in fact, owing to the supply IN
the ice houses here being diminished
more and more daily. The Perth Am
boy Coal and Ice Company received
but one car today and two cars which
were shipped yesterday to the Dorsey
concern had not arrived late this
morning.
Both companies are depending upon
these train shipments in order that
their wagons may be loaded and start
deliveries early in the morning AS
soon as the supplies In these cars are
gone II is necessary to wait until the
Ice Is dug out of the houses. This Is
slow work and means fewer deliveries.
II. has been suggested that to re-
lieve conditions gang OF men be tax
en- from this city to Clinton and there
dig out the ice to help supply the
city.
County Food Administrator Mettler,
after consulting with City Food Nd
ministrator William II. Griswold and
the heads of the ice companies here
this morning. decided to go personally
10 the Bear Creek Ice Company at
Wllkes-Barre, Pa, and see II some ar
rangements cannot be made whereby
three cars of ice a day can be shipped
regularly to this city. Efforts will
also be made to arrange with the
Mountain Ice Company to send at least
one carload a day more.
While the food administrators and
ice dealers are working 10 solve the
problem they urged that stores and
private families use the ice as spar
ingly as possible.

to the heavy machine gun fire. This
