The two companies consisting Of
1853 men, marched to tho Castle Ice
Cream Company plant in Smith,
Stockton and Clifford streets, one day
last week and were entertained by
that concern, receiving all the ioe
cream they could eat and given q
goodly supply to bring to their bar
racks here. Counihan & Shannon
have issued free passes to the boys
for shows at the Majestic theatre,
which has already been attended by
ninety of the men, the balance to at
tend within the near future.
At the present time the mon are
being drilled the eight hours each day
as per schedule. the drills consisting
of street riot formation and guard
duty. Many of these drills are taking
place on the Copper Works field.
while others are being held about the
streets Of the city and at City Hall
park.
The borough of Metuchen, which
has demonstrated its hospitality in no
mean way with the entertainment of
men at the Raritan Ordnance Term
inal treated company Of the guards
royalty when they marched there last
week. The men were on a practice
hike, and without re-arrangement,
stopped in Metuchen, stacked their
arms and began to rest. Soon persons
residing there came to the street,
bearing sandwiches candies, cake, to-
bacco, chewing gum and any amount
of good things for the sailors.

MURDER TRIALS
START THIS WEEK
Roman Smith Case Opens To-
morrow at New Brunswick
Much Interest Shown.

The trial of Michael Tevoli, charged
with numbering Benjamin Anderson
here last year, which was scheduled
for today has been postponed to fol-
low the trial OF the men arrested for
the Roman Smith murder. which Is to
be conducted tomorrow. The change
has been made owing to the fact that
]. Victor D'Aloia, Of Newark, coun-
sci for the defendant, had misunder-
stood the arrangements, believing his
client was to plead today only and not
aware that that trial in homicide cases
In this county follows the defendants
plea. There is no court today and
the December term petit Jury which
= 1aN heard the case, will MOI
have this case to act upon.
Tomorrow the April court term will
convene with several homicide in
cidents before the petit jury, they be-
ing scheduled to be acted upon in the
following order: John Gingrich,
charged with the murder Of his wife.
Nellie Buckley Gingrich, in New
Brunswick; Genario Palmiere, alias
Napolitano. Mike DePalma, Frank
charged with the murder Of Roman
Smith, near South River; Michael Te-
voli, charged with the murder of Ben
jamin Anderson at Perth Anlboy.
The Anderson murder case may not
como before the petit Jury tomorrow
II the other cases require much time.
1t Is probable that the trial of the
men arrested in the Smith case will
take considerable time. This case is
OF much interest to residents IN this
county owing to the number Of men
connected with the murder and dif-
flcult work of the authorities In rum
ming down the suspected men.
Tevoli was arrested in New Haven
a chase which began on April IL Of last
year following his shooting Of Benta
min Anderson, of 500 Donald avenue,
this city. The two mon were employ
ed In the erection of q building In
Neville street and are said to have got
ten In some kind of an argument over
a pile of sand. Tevoli Is alleged to
have drawn a revolver and shot An
derson through the lower part of the
abdomen.
Tevoli fed following the firing Of the
shot and made good his escape for tho
time being. The police were unable to
locate him in this city. Circulars con-
a description of Tevoh were
printed and spread broadcast by Chief
Of Police Burke. County Detective
Richard Peltier had been on the trail
Of Tevoli for some time before the ar
rest but the alleged murderer managed
to escape each time. The New Haven
police finally caught Tevoli and Coun-
ty Detective Peltier brought him back
to this state. A revolver was found In
Tevoh's belongings. which, 1t Is be.
lieved, was used by him In shooting
Anderson. Tevoli Is said to have con-
fessed to shooting Anderson.

The police were notified, and 1t was

ing that the coast guard stationed
hore would be notified. Lieutenant
KAMA also said that Postmaster White
was seeking information on the matter.
An austrian, former employe of the

is known to favor Germany and AUS

for these countries. 1t Is expected he
will be arrested within a few hours.
An attempt of this kind to blow up

use Of the bumper.
Much Powder on Tracks.
Lieutenant KAMA said this morning
that a great deal Of powder and other
explosives are being shipped over the
Lehigh Valley at this point at the
present time. One hundred cars OF
smokeless powder is now stationed be-
tween this city and Metuchen, said the
lieutenant. Within the past two weeks
according to Lieutenant KAMA 40(
cars Of explosives have been shipped
from this point.

TWO COURSES
FOR GERMANS

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY
AFIELD. March 31-The Allies hav-
Ing checked the German offensive be-
fore its objectives were attained, mil
itary officials consider that only two
possibilities are now open to the Ger
mans:
First, to continue the present eff
forts, in which case the battle must
inevitably become a long and gruell-
ing struggle like the Somme or Ver-
dun, or,
Second, to start another offensive
lsewhere-presumab the Cham
pagne-where the German Crown
Princes army is still lined up, but
where the Allies are confident the only
result that can be attained is the pro-
duction of another salient like the
prose t one.
During the temporary lull imposed
by the necessity of the Germans bring
Diug up heavy artillery the Allies like
wise are completing concentrations
calculated to check future enemy ef-
forts.

EXPECT so MORE
GUARDS TO ARRIVE

It IS expected that a new company
Of eighty men to Join the detachment
OF Co4st Guards now in this city will
arriva from New York some time to-
day. Up to a late hour this morning
Lieutenant Whitbeck had received no
direct7 word that the men would ar
rive. {but it Is known that they are
expected. The men will arrive in this
city during the afternoon and will
proceed to the barracks in the Board
of IJtade building where they will
take up their quarters
Th4 people Of this city have taken
q grdat interest in the boys of the
detac hment of guards now stationed
here hnd Saturday and Sunday many
of THE lads were entertained at Diff
ferent homes of citizens. All Of the
boys but those serving on guard duty
attended some church in the city yes

There are two companies of the
guards stationed here at the present
time. These are the First and Fifth
companies. The Fifth company left

march the men were equipped with
a supply Of rations which they pre-
pared and ate after reaching their
destination. The men reached the
BARRACKS on their return at o'clock
Saturday afternoon.

|MP0RTANCE0F Of
HOLDING AM|ENS

WASHINGTON, April Herman
capture of Amiens would practically
paralyze the transportation system of
northern France and all but ruin the
communication between England and
France, military experts pointed out
today.
The Germans are already In pos
session of one rail line and an ad-
vance of comparatively few miles
would give them control Of lines
which link the channel ports, Dun
kirk, Calais and Boulogne, with the
British and French armies In north
ern France.
Long and unsatisfactory detours
would be necessary Britain would
have to expose her troops and supply
transports to longer and more dan
gerous ferry than at present and the
situation on the whole would be
fraught with serious trouble for the
allies
That explains the stubborn defense
and the new counter movements now

AMERICANS ON MARCH TO TAKE PART IN GREAT BATTLE:
LULL IN FIGHTING TO BRING UP THE HEAVY ARTILLERY
NEW TIME SCHEDULE TAKES
. EFFECT WITHOUT DIFFICULTY

The change In time Sunday morn
Ing took place here with no appreciabis
or noticeable difference in the conduct
Of affairs. From the general sentiment
expressed the new System meets with
the approval of all persons in the city.
Some Of the factories in the city ar
ranged to pay their men for full eight
hours. counting IN the hour the men
at work yesterday morning missed by
the change, while Others paid tho
men for but seven hours work. There
were few "conscientious objecting"
clocks in the city, which were not
changed, but taken by and large the
new law took effect without difficulty.
The time change did not affect
transportation to any appreciable ex-
tent and on the last trains to arrive
here early Sunday morning, there
were many who took occasion to
change their watches to conform with
the new schedule.
There was no official ceremony
In this city to mark the change and
most of the residents apparently
changed their clocks and watches be-
fore retiring on Saturday night.
One Staten Island train which was
on the road between st. George and
Tottenville at 2 o'clock arrived one
hour after the scheduled time. the
total time consumed being but forty
dve minutes. whereas the clocks
showed one hour and forty-five min
utes
The additional hours of daylight
were much appreciated last night and
this morning. and many persons unac-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-04-01

customed to arising before o'clock
were asreeab!y surprised to and that
there was no difference in arising at
the earlier hour, after they had re-
ceived their accustomed amount of
sleep.
The people took the change in a
matter Of fact way and there was lit
tie or no confusion in keeping engage
ments, attending church at the ap-
pointed hours, and carrying out gen.
eral affairs yesterday.
Last night the first real beneficial re-
suit was seen when the hands Of the
clock pointed to O'Clock, and 1t was
still daylight.
Owing to the change in time and the
tapping of Of an hour there was a GER
tain confusion In some factories where
three shifts of men are constantly en-
gagged. Some Of the factories antic-
ipating the change, had decided to
grant the men pay for the time which
} ey lost by the extra hour being Tapped
off and their employees were paid for
eight hours instead Of seven. In other
factories the change was not
made and the men were paid for
but the seven hours they worked.
These plants worked on the idea that
when the clocks are again placed back
on the old schedule in October, that
some Of the men will be called upon
to work nine hours and that therefore,
