NEW SECRETARY
OF TRADE BOARD
Fred E. Hilton, of PottsviIIe,
Pa, Engaged at Meeting of
Directors

Upon the recommendation of q
special committee consisting of I. T..
Madsen, Jean Du Bois and Theodore
Spawn, Fred E. Hilton, of Pottsyille.
Pa. was engaged by the directors of
the Bos I'd of Trade last night As secre-
tary of that organization for the year
beginning the first of December.
The change In secretaries dates
back to September. when Irving b.
Lincoln, the secretary at that time.
was drafted and called to the colors
by the local BOARD almost at days
notice. Benjamin G.. .odiorne, who
was then acting as membership secre-
tary, was made secretary and appoint
ed to serve the board In this capac-
ity until December /. as he was also
in the draft and his stay here was lin
tied to the call of the government.
Mr. Odiorne, who has served the
board throughout the most trying days
in the history of the city, has other
plans after the first of the year, but
until that time will continue here as
originally engaged as membership sec
retary.
n Mr.. Hilton has been associate field
secretary of the American City Bureau
of New York, the largest organization
in the country doing commercial or
ganization work. He was born in In
diana, though he received all of his
grammar, High School education IN
Illinois. His commercial organiza-
ton work, however. has been almost
entirely in the east, both as office
manager in cities where the American
City Bureau conducted campaigns and
as secretary afterwards.
When the War Camp Community
Service had its national drive a year
ago, Mr.. Hilton was in the national
headquarters at Washington and had
charge of the accounting.
Mr.. Hilton is married and his fam
lily will make Perth Amboy their
home shortly after he begins his duties
here.

STORE ROBBED
FORF|FTH TIME
Thieves Force Entrance Into
Store Of Henry Mccullough
and Clean Out Place
THE LOSS is ABOUT $1,000
Believed Wagon Was Used to
Cart Away Loot Police Fail
to Get Clue
THE LOSS IS ABOUT $1,000

Sneak thieves some time late last
night or early this morning Jimmied
open the rear door of the clothing
store of Henry Mccullough, clothier,
of 6S Smith street, backed a wagon
up to the place and almost cleaned
the place of clothing, suits, under
wear, overcoats. etc.
Mr.. Mccullough placed his loss, in
conservation with a NEWS reporter,
at not less than $1,000. He is now
checking up his stock and 1t may
even run higher than this.
This Is the fifth time since he has
been in business that he has been
robbed and to date the police have
failed to make arrests in any of the
cases.
Mr.. Mccullough stated this morn
ing that he closed his store at the
usual hour last night and went home
and that when he left the place
everything was locked up but this
morning when he opened the store
shortly before 8 o'clock he found the
back door had been jimmied open
and the place ransacked from front
to rear.
The thieves had taken suitcases and
filed them with clothing of every
description and carried them away.
The robbers. who had worked ap-
parently for at least two hours. were
not discovered by the patrolman on
the beat and the night detectives did
tnot know anything about the case
until late today although the matter
had been reported at once to the
police by Mr.. Mccullough.
At police he lquarters very little
Information cd d be obtained re-
garding the bbery. the officials
seeming to think that 1t did not
amount to much. 1t was learned,
however. that as soon. as the case was
reported Patrolman William Buchan,
who is doing chauffe RS duty at
headquarters. was dc allied to make
an investigation an he is now at
work on the case.
The patrolman discovered wagon
tracks in the yard and is of the opin-
ion that a gang must have committed
the robbery and loaded the goods in
the wagon and taken 1t away. He
also found that the thieves had tried
to Jimmy the inner compartment Of
the safe in the store after having
been able to open the outer door by
some clever work, hut they were not
successful in opening the inner door.
When NEWS reporter visited the
store Mr.. Mccullough was busy try
ing 10 stralgnten out the rev tnings
the. thieves had not carried away
Most of the stuff in the place that
had not been taken away was thrown
on the floor.
The detectives did not say anything
about the robbery this morning and
apparently know but little about It,
Patroiman Buchan for some reason
or other was assigned to the case and
is at work on IL at this time. He
hopes. to be able to solve the mystery
shortly. Chief of Police Burke is in
New Brunswick today and could not
be seen.

Despite RumOrs Casualty
Te|egrams Have Been Few

In spite of the many rumors and
reports that have been circulating
through this city in the past few days
from some unknown source. there
have been only two kilograms re-
ceived announcing casualties OF Perth
Amboy men, one of a casualty in
South Amboy and another OF Foros
boy.
1t seems the rumor persists that
Company d of the S11th Regiment, in
which nearly all the local men are.
has been wiped out, but this report is
not true and there are no grounds
upon which 1t can be founded.
Mrs. Egan of 1877 Madison avenue
received q telegram from the adju-
tant general last night stating that
her son, John B. Egan. had died
from wounds received in action. He
was well known in this city and the
news that he had been wounded was
received a short time ago. He re-
ceived his wound on October 10 ana
died in a hospital somewhere In
France on October 28.
Mrs. Zega of 412 New Brunswick
avenue was also the recipient of q
telegram announcing that Adolph
Staff had been killed In action on Oc-
tober 20. Stafn was former boarder
of Mrs. Zega's and as far as could be
learned has no relatives in Perth AM
boy.
Mrs Ziekan of Elm, street, South
Amboy, was notified that Charles ].
Wensck of the field artillery had been
severely wounded in action on Sep
tember IL.
MAIDS Madsen of Fordsehas also been
notified by Adjutant General Harris
that Corporal Carl N. Hansen had
been severely wounded in action on
October 10.
Word has been received by relatives
that Charles B. Heller, of Company
u. 311th Regiment, was wounded se-
verely on September 26. The have
received no word from the War De-
rartment, but had letter written by
Heller himself telling about the in
cident. A sailor friend brought the
letter to this city. Heller was In the
st. Mihiel drive toward Metx and was
during a heavy barrage in that push
that he was wounded. One leg was
blown off and the other shattered very
badly. He said in the letter that he
was blown up In the air and that
was all he remembered until he woke
up In a hospital. He is now at the
base hospital at Newport News, Vir-
ginia, and stated that he expected to
be transferred soon.
Heller left In the first large iraft
from this city. which left for Camp
Dix September 26. 1917, and made the
trip across the pond In the latter part
OF May in the same year.

Secretary McAdoo explained today by
this he meant from three to seven to

fourth per cent interest rate borne by
the last two issues of liberty bonds
may be changed, depending on other
terms of the security.
Amounts of future issues, interest
rate and time of marketing cannot be
determined definitely for another
month or two. but the heavy oversub-
scrlption of the fourth liberty loan
with total OF $6,9s9. .047, 900 or f6.4s
per cent more than the six billion
sought will enable the treasury to
postpone the next issue longer than
otherwise. 1t still is expected by

Explosion Claims Board
Holding Session Here

The Ordnance Gillespie Claims
Board at their hearing this morning
decided that all claims must be filed
by the first of December. except in a
few special cases where the time will
be extended. This leaves little over
q week for all claims to be turned in.
The hearing today was for the most
part taken up with the various insur-
ance companies. These concerns who
have already paid explosion claims
were asked to file with the board a
tabulated list of cases covered by in
surance. This they were requested to
do not later than 10 o'clock next Tues
day morning when the next meeting
of the board will be held.
The board will receive these claims
in the same manner as they do those
filed by individuals, but nothing def
mite may be said as to the disposition
of the claims by Congress. When
these claims of the insurance COM
panies have been received they will
be gone over and If cases are found
where the individual has already been
paid for his damage by the insurance
company. the individual claim will be
thrown out and whatever amount is
allowed for this claim will be turned
over to the insurance company.
Yesterday representatives of the
board sat in Matawan and received
fifty claims. It was said at the office
of the board that the work of this
place is completed.
Today the representatives are Sit
ting in New Brunswick and tomorrow
they will sit in the City Hall at Key
port. On Friday they will visit Me-
tuchen and hold session In the bank
building. Saturday the representa-
tives will be in Railway.
Other places to be visited will be
announced in a day or two. Arrange
ments are now being made for the
board to sit in Tottenville. where 1t
is said considerable damage has been
done.

UKRANIANS u OVERTHROW
Report of Their Defeat Re-
Ceived With Satisfaction
at Washington
By Associated Press.

by ASsoCtdten freSs
ARCHANGEL, Thursday, Nov. ID:
The Bolshevik forces along the
Dvina, their infantry attacks having
been repulsed, today were bombard~
ing the Russo-Allied positions on the
left bank of the river at Tulgas. The
allied artillery is replying vigorously.
Since late in September the Boil
sheviki have been trying stubbornly
but fruitlessly to drive the allied
forces up the Dvina to north of its
junction with the Vaga. The small
amount of ice in the river at this
time of the year is helping the enemy
gunboats. The Bolshevists apparent
ly possess a large number of river
craft on which to mount naval guns
brought from Petrograd.
AS long as the enemy gunLoats are
able to move the American and Bri-
tish are combating great odds. But
the enemy infantry is no match for
the allies, the Bolshevik losses in
killed, wounded and captured being
at least five times that of the allies.
