iKemeny Demands Arrest Of
Mwish; Has Dog Taken

Wildly waving his arms and so
excited that he could hardly utter a
word Louis Kemeny. a jeweler of III
Smith street, came in all haste to
police headquarters this morning just
after court had adjourned and de-
manded a warrant. for Arthur Murish,
the official dog catcher of Perth Am
boy. 1t appears that Murish had
caught a big collie belonging to
Kemeny and interned the dog in his
cart
Mr.. Kemeny asserted hat the dog
catcher had hauled the dog out of
his automobile standing on State
street, but Murish denied this abso-
lutely. John +. Murray, director of
traffic at the five corners, saw the
entire affair and declared the dog had
been on the street and was on the
pavement when Murfsh captured
him.
However, after heated words be-
tween Mr.. Kemeny and Mr.. Murish,
before numerous police officials, no
warrants were issued and the owner
of the dog was told to ecure a re-
lease for his pet and get it from the
pound this afternoon. Mr.. Kemeny
did not wait for afternoon to arrive
but obtained a note from Alderman
Albert G.. Waters and his canine was
given into his possession.
Mr.. Kemeny said that he would not
drop the case since the dog is not
able to step on one of its feet.

the big oyster interests, or "monop-

of the war, the munition plants
stopped work, and these oystermen
again returned to their boats and
forks n started in at their old trade.
During the time these men had
been employed in the munition plants,
a law was passed whereby the state
could lease the public oyster beds of
Raritan river. Since the passing OF
the law, the lands in the river have
been leased and the oystermen cam
not carry on their former business,
unless they wish to go to work for

the sum of twenty-five cents for each
bushel of oysters they dig. Before
the leases were given an oysterman
received in the open market as high as
seventy-five cents a bushel for the

1t Is expected that the state win
take some action in the matter to keep
the 1900 acre public bed in Raritan
Bay, south of the New York and New

the oystermen, and not grant the leas-
