OFF T|LLFR|DAY
Hearing on Revocation of Citi-
zenship Postponed YeSter-
day--Notify Witnesses

Hearing on the charge against
Francis Gross, OF GOT Cortlandt street
that he obtained his citizenship by
fraud and that therefore 1t should be
revoked will not be held Monday.
Word has been received here thas
the hearing will not take place until
next Friday, when the priest will ap
pear before the United States district
court in the federal building. Newark.
Witnesses from this city who were
notified to appear at Newark on Mon
day have since been informed that
they will not be wanted until later
in the week.
The trial of the priest, who is al
legged to have fraudulently secured his
citizenship in that he swore to have
renounced his former emperor, and
later showed by his acts and deeds
that he had not done SO, is creating
a great deal OF interest In the city, as
the meteoric career of Father Gross,
including the five charges for which
he is being held for trial in the GRIM
inal courts. have brought him before
the attention of the city and county
for several months past.
There now rests against him in
this county charges Of assault on Louis
Csipo, banker of State and William
street: of assault on Arthur Reich
man. q printer of State street, and of
threats against two members of his

WANT CROWD FOR
COMMUNITY SING
War Camp Community Service
to Renew Mass Singing at
High School Tomorrow

The War Camp Community Service
mas arranged for another community
sing to take place tomorrow after
noon at 8 o'clock In the high school
Auditorium.
The event scheduled for last Sun.
day was postponed at the last mo-
ment because OF the inability of the
song leader to come to Perth Amboy
on that day.
Public interest in these community
sings should not diminish. This city
can benefit greatly by fostering this
new form of recreation, because such
weekly events will bring the people
together oftener than 1t would other
wise be possible and q closer point OF
contact would result among the va
rious elements of the city. Real COM
munity spirit, greater unity of pur-
pose and better hometown feeling
will naturally follow.
That much and more has been ac-
complished In other centres through
out the country as the direct result
of mass or community singing, be-
cause song is the best means of self
expression for the general public as
well as for the individual. No one
can dispute the inspirational value
and ennobling influence of music.
and a community that engages in COL
soon attains to a higher plane of civic
virtue because of the better feeling
and the greater unity of purpose
music creates among the people.
The War Camp Community Service
can only supply the leadership for
these song festivals and will strive
to interest the people In the worthy
enterprise. The people. however.
should give 1t their hearty support
in order to help make 1t a success.
The public in general, choral bodies,
associations and school children are
requested to attend and participate
in these weekly events. All are re-
quired to do their best in order that
this great city may be better city.
Professor D. L. Spooner, OF the
War Department Training Camps
Activities Commission. will lead the
singing In his own inimitable way,
and Blaine Pritchard will lead the
orchestra.

APPOINTMENTS
To BE MADE HERE
Mayor and Aldermen Will Have
Places to Fill on City
Boards January |

Sixteen new appointments in the
city government will be made the
nrst of the year by the mayor and
Board of Aldermen. Nine Of these
appointments will be made by Mayor
elect Frank Dorsey, and the remain
ing seven by the aldermen. The terms
of the present officeholders expire at
that time and although there are
vacancies in nearly all departments
there are no large plums to be given
out at that time. The real plums
come with the year 1920.
The fact that the real plums are
not to be given out this year is no
doubt fortunate thing for the DEM
ocratic party, as the larger majority
of the holders of high salaried offices
are appointed by the Board of Alder
men, and this being the case, the fact
that the board still remains Republi-
can by one member would mean that
these offices would again be given to
men of that faith.
Since the present officeholders hold
over until next year it gives the DEM
ocratic party a chance TO elect an
other alderman and in this way be
sure of the plums when they fall due.
AS the board still remains Repub-
lican by a majority of one it seems
apparent that the seven appoint
ments to be made by the board this
year will again fall to the present
officeholders. The appointments to
be made by the board are: Harbor
master and port warden, now held by
William Walters; timekeeper. now
held by William II. Tice; commission
ers of assessments for street improve
ment, now held by Adolph H. Koyen,
John III. Mehaffey and Paul M. Woit-
scheck; vacancy on Board of Water
Commissioners, now held by Charles
ID. Snedeker, and a vacancy on the
Board of Education, now held by A.
Clayton Clark.
Mayor-elect Dorsey, upon taking
office, will find appointments waiting
his hand in the park commission,
board of harbor commissioners, sink
ing fund commission, board of health
and trustees of public library. The
vacancies occurring in these commits
sions and boards range from one to
two members, although the terms of
all the present members of the board
of harbor commissioners expire.
The members of the various COM
mittees who will be affected by the
appointments of Mayor-elect Dorsey
are: Park commission, Eugene NJ.
Clark: board of harbor commission
ers. James F. Mcguire. Richard A.
Bolger, William p. Bradley and
Henry F. Koch: sinking fund COM
mission. Frank Dorsey; board of
health, H. H. Petz and Michael Zylka:
trustee Of public library, John III.

C. R. R. and c. and A.

A collision of two freight trains at
High Bridge. Middlesex avenue, Met

o'clock this morning completely
tied up all traffic between New York
City and the main line points of the
road.
Five freight cars, piled on top of
each other. and burning. are. strewn
acros sthe tracks. while the Metuchen
fire department. police department
and railroad wrecking crews are try
ing to get the flames under control SO
that the tracks may be cleared and
usual traffic continued.
The collision occurred between a
heavy freight train being pulled with
two engines, known as a double head
er. bound west, and an engine and ca
boose which was backing onto a
switch. Although the engineer of one
of the big engines was badly scalded.
1t is understood that no one was killed.
As the two trains came together a
conductor and two others in the ca
boose of the train taking the switch
jumped and saved their lives.
The big engines are complete

the tracks in such a manner that II is
impossible for any of the through line
trains to run into New oYrk city.

tracks through this city and onto the
Pennsylvania tracks at Woodbridge
Junction and again to the main line at
Railway. Trains from Railway are
being operated as far as Metuchen
ove-' the Pennsylvania tracks and
picking up passengers for New York.
Although the Metuchen police were
dispatched to the scene of the wreck
as soon as 1t occurred as was also the
fire department, nothing had been
heard from them up to nearly IL
o'clock.
Reports were current to the effect
that the train carried car load of
explosives, but nothing could be
learned as to the truth of this rumor.
One of the cars carried a cargo of
port wine and this was a complete
wreck, the wine flowing about the
tracks like water.
From what can be learned 1t may
DO we'll along toward night before
The tracks will be cleared so that the
usual traffic can be resumed.

SUGGESTION Of

Son on Isolated Island, Guard
ed by Dutch Fleet
MAY ASK COMPENSATION
Allies Consider Demand From
Holland for Allowing Huns
to Cross Limburg

By associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. If the allies in
sist upon the delivery of the former
German emperor and crown prince in
an international court of justice. Hol-
land will yield, but will first urge that
the allies content themselves with an
undertaking by Holland to intern
them for life in one of the Dutch col
onies, according to an Amcterdam dis
patch to the Express.
Holland, 1t is understood. will slIe-
gest that Herr HohenZollern and his
son be placed on an island in either
the East or West Indies, where he will
be guarded by a Dutch fleet.
1t is also anticipated that Holland
will be asked for compensation for
permitting a violation of her neutral
ity by allowing German troops to pass
through the province of Limburg on
their retreat from Belgium, and re-
ceiving German ships from Antwerp.
This compensation, says the corre-
spondent. may possibly be cession OF
certain territory along the Belgium
frontier owned>by Holland since 1899,
perhaps the seven ports of Dutch Linn
burg, the population of which re-
gion is claimed to be principally Bel
gians.
