DOPESTERS JOLTED
BY GRID RESULTS
Defeats of Alabama and
Tech Severe Shock to
the Wise Birds

Atlanta, Ca, November g.
Football form followers re-
ceived a severe jolt in Satur-
days southern football games.
Those who were trying to
figure out the team to be
dubbed Dixie champions found
their calculations badly upset.
The days end found the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical eleven the
only team of prominence to come through
according to forecast and left that squad
the only undefeated machine in the old
S I. A. A. territory.
The Aggies' victory over Mississippi
university was decisive.
Georgia Tech, undisputed leader for sew
eral years, was pulled from her pinacle
by the Washington and Lee team in
stubbornly fought, heart breaking
game. A lone field goal in the last quar-
ter, the first score made by a visiting
team on Grant field in three years, spelled
after 1t had worn itself out against the
Virginians' line. Alabama, primed to step
into the Yellow Jackets shoes should they
falter. had her hopes blasted by the Com
modores. A field goal also was RESPONSE
BILE for the defeat of the Crimson. and this
also was the first scoring at the expense
of the Thin Red Line this season.
The Vanderbilt eleven has been the
Waterloo of ambitious Alabama squads
this season, previously having put dash
of cold water on the hopes of Auburn. In
other games McGugin's team, made up
of individual stars, apparently has been
unable to get together.
Georgia Tech still is in for trouble, hav-
ing Georgetown and Auburn to play with
in the present month, and the Hill Top
pers. fresh from yesterdays victory over
the navy, are advertising the boast that
they are going to improve on Washington
and Lees performance next Saturday.

TWO FIRES, ONE
At R. R. DEPOT
Little Damage Results From
Two BIazes, One Yesterday,
One Today

A fire at 2:45 o'clock yesterday
morning in the Office of the Central
Railroad freight station in Market
street and another one at S:35 o'clock
this morning in the kitchen of Hail
avenue structure. kept the city fire de-
partment busy over the week end.
The fire this morning did but little
damage, being caused by an over
heated stove. 1t was in a kitchen at
tached to the store of Klara Wiss. at
239 Hall avenue. Chemicals had the
blaze extinguished before it did much
damage.
Fire at Freight Office.
The fire in the Central freight Of
fee started from an unknown origin
and was discovered by Patrolman
Peterson at 2:45 o'clock Sunday
morning. The alarm was turned in
from box 26, Market and First streets.
by Patrolman Hansen. Upon the ar
rival of the fire companies the flames
had gained such headway that the en-
tire building, including the large
freight store-house to the rear of the
office, was threatened. A special call
for the Mcclellan Engine Company
was turned in.
The fire ragged for about half an
hour in the Office destroying the FUR
nishings and many papers, books ana
files but was prevented from spread
ing to the southern part of the build
ing. A window between the Office and
the freight storage room was broken
and the store-house filled with smoke,
making it appear as though the flames
had taken hold there. The large
doors on either side of the building
were forced open and stream taken
into the storage room but no flames
were discovered.
No estimate of the damage done
could be ascertained. No possible
cause for the fire could be learned.
The discovery of the fire before it had
gained too much headway was all that
prevented the flames from doing con-
sid erahIe more damage.

WELCOME HOME
MAY BE CHANGED
Meeting Tonight to Act on Mr..
Clark's Plan to Give Money to
Returning Soldiers

instead OF the great big celebration
that this city was going to treat her
boys to yhen they had the, welcome
home, 1t is now planned to commemo-
rate the home coming event in a more
substantial and material manner
that of presenting each of this city's
heroes who has been discharged from
the service of his country, with q GER
tain sum of money, probably 500.
This idea was conceived by Alderman
John j. Clark and he consulted
Mayor Dorsey concerning it this
morning, who considered the sugges-
ton an excellent one.
Alderman Clark reasons that the
bulk of the boys will be back home by
June 1st, at the earliest, but that
many of them will mot return to the
city until some time in fall and maybe
not until next winter, because Perth
Amboy can boast Of many lads who
Rhine" The boys that are back by
June will receive all the benefits OF
the big celebration. while those who
are unfortunate enough not to gel
back by that time will not be Included
in the big time" and consequently
viii feel that their city has slighted
them.
Another argument against not hav-
ing the monster celebration which was
to last two days. is that it will last two
days and that will be all there is to it.
The boys will have big time for
thosen forty-eight hours, but whe
that is over, there is nothing but the
memory of the good time left to them.
While, If this new plan is adopted by
the celebration committee, the boys
will have something which really in
dicates the city's gratitude to them
and her appreciation of them With
this money most of "our boys would
be able to secure their 'Civies'' and get
a start in life again. Also this money
that will be presented to the boys will
eventually come back into the city
again through business channels.
while If the fund raised by popular
subscription was utilized for defray-
ing expenses of a two day celebra-
tion, the money would be expended
in places otherwise than Perth Amboy
in all probability.
The general committee of the ceIe-
bration committee will meet tonight
at o'clock i'm the council chambers
at city hall, and this plan will be
brought before them for discussion.
Alderman Clark will advocate the
idea and urge strongly it's acceptance
on the rest of the committee for he
considers that it would in every way
be more suitable way in which the
city might express her thanks to the
boys who sacrificed so much for her
sake.
1t was announced this morning
that $3.50 had been received over the
weekend for the celebration fund,
which brings the grand total to date
up to $5,635.50.
