Shortly after o'clock last night the
flremen responded to call rung in
from box SO at Maurer, and found a
small fire in the cellar of the home of
Thomas Hubbard turned in the
street, caused by gasoline torch be-
ing turned over, while the firemen,
with little damage to the property.
Thomas Kubberds turned in the
alarm, and instead of pulling the lever
once, he pulled it twice. which caused
the alarm to ring twice as often as was
necessary. Patrolman Riedy was on
the scene.
This morning call was received at
police headquarters, that the chimney
at the home of William K. Noe, 240
High street, was on fire. The sergeant
notified the Washington Hose and
Chemical Company and the Protec-
ton Hook and Ladder Company who
soon arrived on the scene and extin-
guished the blaze. Little damage was
done to the building.

deep concern and interest the
findings of the Citizens Red Cross
Welfare Committee.
What is known up to the pres
ent is that about seventy of Perth

might be termed an inventory of
the city's assets and liabilities in
health, social welfare and other
civic affairs.

with the good will of the city
authorities upon invitation of the
Perth Amboy Red Cross Chapter

All citizens are urged to attend
the meeting at the high school at

is the duty of every citizen to be
present.

j. {, UNCHANGED
. IN ATTITUDE ON
MEXICAN CASE
Secretary Denies Rumors That
Word Has Been Passed
JENKINS IS NOW RELEASED
But State Department Has Not
Been Officially Notified of
That Fact

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-The
American government has not chang
cd it's attitude on the Jenkins case
and had no part in obtaining his re-
lease on bail, Secretary Lansing de-
clared today in denying vague rumors
that the State Department had unofii-
c.ally passed the word to the en-
bassy at Mexico City to see that the
consulate agent was liberated on
bonds.
The State Department, it was said,
has not yet been advised officially
that Jenkins was released on bail. 1t
received word today that Jenkins
himself did not know until after he
was liberated that bond was furnish
ed and that he is conducting an in
vestigation on his own account to de-
termlne who was responsible for his
liberation.
Oficials refused to comment on re-
ports current here that j. Walter
Hansen, who furnished the $500 bond
was acting for Luis Cabrera, minister
of finance in Carranzas cabinet.
They are awaiting reports on this
from the American embassy at Mex
leo City.
On the heels of the report of
Jenkins release news dispatches were
received from Mexico City that a
check for the $500 bail bond had
been deposited with the civil author
tiles at Puebla by J. Walter Hansen,
a friend of the consulate agent. Later
dispatches said the bond was placed
without Jenkins knowledge and that
he was attempting to reenter the
prison and await unconditional liber-
ty.
1t was not known what course the
State Department will pursue If it is
proven officially that Jenkins was re-
leased on bond and not as a result
of the demand contained in the
American note to President Carranza
for the immediate release of the con-
sulate agent.

 ANXIOUS ABOUT HIS GERMAN PROPERTY
Has Plenty of Money, But Fears ;. New Government May Con-
 ,' fiscate Lands.

Amerongen, June IA. Correspond ence of thes Associated Press. 1.-The former German emperor has been dis cusing his financial problems for more than'>a week with Dr. J. Kriege, whoshas been in charge of the imper- ial estates. and funds in Germany since the Hehenzollern ,abdication.
 Dr. Kriege, one of the former Ger man functionaries, of the German for eign office, has been here in confer ence with Herr Hohenzollern when the latter was not engaged in wood saving.
 The marshall of the German emper- OTIS court, Won Gontard, was also present and participated in the dis cussion. y wa@
 The former emperor is rot short of money, as he possessed consid- erable amount on deposit in Holland before the war began. This was ad- ded to appreciably while hostilities were in progress. During the few stirring weeks preceding his sabdi- cation, William anh fhs folldwers transferred further large sums into ready cash.g, {7 ->s
 Possessed B Castles
 But William is troubled as to sthe fate of his real estate. He possessed no fewer than fifty-five castles, hunt ing boxes and country seats scattered over the empire. The revenues of these. properties are for the present at least in the hands of the. new government, which hitherto has. paid from their proceeds all Herr Hohen- zollern's bills. forwarded to Berlin for settlement. These accounts have been.du formidable. as the imperial 1 refugee is called upon to pay for ev- erything he consumes as we'll as for the accommodation and upkeep of his suite, besides paying the wages of the gardeners and domestics of the

Bentinck estate who render him ser- vices while wood-cutting or in the household.
 The expenses of the Dutch guard of gendarmes on duty around the castle also fall on the Hohenzollern purse.
 The German government inten- tions concerning the former emper- OTIS private fortune cannot be gleaned here. Germans recently from the Fatherland declare there is great deal of purely personal sympathy for William among all classes and that it is likely he will receive a large portion of the value of what he own ed. They say it is probable that most of the castles and country houses he owned will be sold at auction and the cash result paid to Williams ac- count, but a number of them may be retained as government property to be used for the purpose of local gov ernment headquarterss This, they consider an equitable arrangement which will not deprive the ex-mon- arch of his rights as a private citizen as, they believe, would be the case if his property were confiscated.

WAR CLERICAL FORCE
TO BE CUT ONE-THIRD

Action of Congress in reducing the
appropriations for the additional
temporary force of employees in the
War Department for the ensuing year
from $4,000 600, estimated as neces-
sary, to s4e00,00O, will result in a
reduction of about SO per cent in that
force. The present temporary force
numbers about 10000 persons and or
ders have been given already for it's
reduction to about 5000 persons Re-
ductions Will have to be made in
nearly all bureaus where possible,
but will be greatest in the large tenn
porary force in the ordnance bureau.
Another piece of new legislation
which Will have more or less effect on
the civilian personnel of the depart
ment is the provision extending from
February 20 TO March 81 the privilege
of travelling expenses TO war en-
ployes who resign their positions. 1t
is possible in view of the enforced
reductions to be made by July 1st
that many clerks on the Temporary
rolls may conclude TO reiinQuish their
offices before the first of April, in
order to get the benefit of the trans
portation allowances to their homes.
