tion--IS in Larmas France

awarded the distinguished service
cross for conspicuous gallantry and
extraordinary in action under heavy
shell fire, and as far as can be ascer-
tanned Is the only Perth Amboy man
in service who has been awarded this

rider. He was in many of the big
drives in which the Americans partic-
ipated and fought in St. Mihiel bat
tie and also at Chateau Therry.
He Is now in Larmas, France, ex-
pecting to return to this country in
the near future, but as yet has not
received sailing orders.
Fiigen was I'm one of the base hos
pitfalls for about three months suffer-
ing from rheumatism brought on by
continued exposure In inclement
weather in the trenches. In the letter
which he sent to his father, he sends
his best regards to all his friends here.

SAY THAT BUTCHERS
HAD BAD MEAT WILL
PROSECUTE THEM
FIagrant Violation of Health
Code of City Found at Butch
cry of Meyers & Pribula

One of the most fragrant violations
OF the health code of the Board of
Health and an existing condition de-
trimental and decidedly dangerous to
the health of the people in this COM
munity was revealed last night at the
regular meeting when it was brought
to light that officials of the board had
discovered $50 pounds of decomposed,
decayed and rotten meat ready for
sale to the public, at the butchery of
the Myers e. Pribula Beef Company
on Broad street yesterday morning.
After a thorough investigation had
been made the entire lot was con-
demned by Health Officer Thompson
and Health Inspector Wilhelm and
the owners of the shoats were COM
PEELED to denature the rotten hog
meat by pouring kerosi<e on it.
This is not the first time that this
company has been caught selling
meat which was not up to the STAN
dard demanded by the health board.
Health Inspector Wilhelm learned in
an indirect way that this meat was
in the butchery on Broad street SO
accordingly he and DR.. Thompson
went up there yesterday morning and
after an inspection found the rotten
meat collected in one place and ready
for sale at any time. The owners or
the place had nothing to say either
one way or the other about the case.
so no direct verbal conviction can be
used against them.
This condition is in direct violation
of one of the articles in the health
code, which follows: mo meat, fish,
cakes, bread, vegetables, fruit or any
other food than that which Is healthy
fresh, sound, wholesome and safe for
human food shall be brought into or
offered or held for sale or sold as
such food, in the city of Perth AM
boy"
There was considerable discussion
among the members of the board as
to what measures should be taken
toward prosecuting the owners of the
butchery and some thought that they
should only be fined, but 1t was finally
decided that they should be prosecut-
ed to the full extent of the law and
so q warrant will sbe sworn out Tor
them for having in their establish
ment meat for sale which was already
in a state Of decomposition and unit
for human usage or consumption.
There are several other known vio-
Iations of the health code existing In
the city which will be remedied by
the board in the near future. One In
particular Is the testing of all cows
which are permitted to be kept in the
city, for tuberculosis and other con-
tagious animal diseases which II
found in bovines would make their
milk unfit for human usage. The
members of the board thought that
all cows should be tested and in order
TO do that the present ordinance re-
garding the testing of cows must be
altered, because as the code now
reads only those cows which are In
herds can be tested and one or two
cows which are kept by private own
ers for their usage only. This matter
will be fully looked into by the board
and action will probably be taken at
the next meeting.

WEIMAR, Feb. 13.-Philip Scheid

self able to handle conflicting demon
strat1ons in the new national assembly
with no signs of being intimidated by
the widest opposition OF moved by the
most severe heckling N speaker
since the meeting of the national as
sembly was open has been so out
spoken toward his opponents. One of
the incidents of his speech was his
reference to Austria's desires to join
Germany He said: I'VE desire no
reluctant adherence and by the same
token nobody wishing to join us should
be prevented"
There was almost a threat In his
warning: The Entent is able to force
any kind of peace on Germany, but If
it is an unjust peace, seventy million
people in their hearts will never for
give or forget"
Adolph Groeder, centrist, follow Ell

strongest party, and, like Herr
Scheidemann, emphasized work" as
the watehword of the new republic.
He protested against the slowness in
arranging for peace, the severity OF
the armistice conditions, the French
desire for annexation, the Polish de-
mand and plan TO put former Emperor
William on trial as being "All a part
of q scheme to humiliate Germany"
He declarcf the league of nations

PARIS, Feb. 14-With todays
plenary session of the peace confer
ence over and newly framed covenant
of the league of nations read and dis
cussed President Wilson left Paris to-
night for Brest on his way back to the
United States, accompanied by Mrs.
Wilson.
When the delegates to the peace
conference gathered at the foreign
Office this afternoon there was a feel
ing among them that historical mo-
ment had arrived. 1t was the third
plenary session of the peace confer
ence and there was the same setting
of distinguished personnel and solemn
dignity that marked previous gather
ings of the allied delegation. Presi-
dent Wilson presented a striking pics
ture as he stood before the delegates
to read the covenant and expound its
merits. He spoke in a calm even tone,
witohut gesture or emphasis, except
twice, when he referred to armed
forces In the background" and Ito
explorations of helpless peoples"
There was a ring in his vooice when
he uttered these warnings which
would have brought applause. but for

Another slight evidence OF dissent
was found in the remark of w. Nj.
Hughes OF Australia, who inquired.
with some show of feeling, If ample
opportunity to discuss the scheme
would be given. The Arabian delega-
ton also sounded a minor note OF
discord in calling attention to secret
treaties which were said to interfere
with the principle of self determines
tion expressed by the covenant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson arrived at the
station at 8 o'clock in a pouring rain.
Their departure for Brest was with

New Brunswick Store Robbed
By staff Correspondent.

By STAFF Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 1.-THE
clothing store of Wolfson & Sons on
George street was entered last night
and about $500 worth of goods was
stolen. The store was robbed some
time between o'clock in the evening
and s this morning and the thieves
effected their entrance by forcing
window in the back of the store. The
detectives on the local police force
are now working on the case but as
yet have discovered no clues which
would lead to the detection of the
robbers.
the job. and the consequent offer of
bill that so nearly corresponded
with the assertion that voorhees, is
rumored 10 have made, coupled with
the fact that the bill is not detailed
but calls for items in lump sums,
some of which appear TO be out OF
ALI proportion to the task at hand,
led him 20 hold up the bill until each
item on IL was thoroughly checked up
and investigated.
= The item OF labor alone caused
considerable questioning. II would
appear that all work done on the
machine was at the rate OF $1.25 an
hour, whether by a master mechanic
or a helper. If the time charged was
for one man IL would make about
eighty days OF work. whereas the
machine has not been under Voor-
hees' care that long. II II is for two
men IL would mean about forty
straight days work, and that is too
long TO correspond with the work
done. The mayor says that he can
prove that voorhees, did not put
steady time in on the job. but worked
at IL in a dilatory manner.
Alderman Reidy's adoption OF the
bill was displeasing TO the executive
also. Efforts TO reach the alderman
this morning were unavailing.
