BOARD
MAY BE ENDED
Terms of Commissioners Ex-
pire Dec. 81, 1920---New
Laws May be Made.

Although saloons are supposed to
be a thing of the past. and no intox-
icating liquor can be sold, If the law
Is abided by, the Board of Excise
Commissioners of Perth Amboy Will
continue in office in 1921. The board
has been powerless to take any ac-
ton regarding the licensing of places
which, until prohibition. had been
saloons, and has confined its work
during the past year to Issuing poo!
and billiard licenses. The terms OF
the five excise commissioners expire
on Dec. 81 of next year. the election
of the next excise board being sched-
uled for next November.
1t seems to be the belief of city
officials, however, that this board
will be done away with, as under the
prohibition laws there are no sa-
looms from which licenses can De
collected. The primary purpose OF
the excise board has been to grant
and transfer liquor licenses. so with
no liquor being legally sold their
work along this line has ceased. II
has been suggested that the judiciary
committee or a special committee OF
the board of aldermen take charge
of the billiard licenses.
The members of the present ex-
else board are. Louis Smith. presi-
dent, William Fitzpatrick, Emil
Frey, James J. Flynn and Thomas
Lucas. This board has been in a
quandary as to how to proceed in
the matter of refunding licenses to
saloonkeepers who paid licenses for
a years business but were forced to
close their places before the year
had expired because of the prohibit
tion law taking effect. The local
excise board has never been ADVISED
along this line and consequently has
taken no action.
At present the board cannot force
any OF the remaining stores" for
merly saloons, to pay for liquor
licenses. AS the question of enforc-
ing the law does not come under the
Jurisdiction of this board, and no
license fees are forthcoming, some
action in doing away with the board
is expected during the year.

GOOD STARTFOR
RELIEF WORKERS
Money for Starving Children
in Europe Already Starts to
Come in to Treasurer Here

A good start has been made by
Perth Amboy In the efforts to re-
lieve the conditions of the starving
and helpless children in Europe. AT
the meeting of the Perth Amboy
committee of the European Relief
Council at the Red Cross headquar-
ters last night. 1t was reported that
$54.83 had already been sent In to
Harry Comings, the treasurer, to
start this relief fund and 1t Is ex-
pected that as soon as the holidays
are over a much more substantial
effort will be made by the represen-
tatives of the four organizations
here which have pledged their sup
port in this activity.
1t was announced that Everett
Colby had accepted the state chair
manship and Is planning to get III
touch with the local committee at
the earliest possible moment.
In connection with the plan OF
observing January 9 by a special
collection in the churches w. j.
Nolan reported that he had seen a
number of the pastors In the city
with whom the plan seemed to meet
with approval. The chairman, Tracy

Man Being Held for Grand
Jury on Like Charge Takes
Action at Hearing.

The assault and battery complaint
drawn by Joseph Brombert against
Benjamin Kaplowitz before Recor-
der Picsersgill last week. and slated
for a hearing before the recorder
last night, was withdrawn by Wal
ter Reilly. attorney for the plaintiff.
before the hearing had proceeded
very far. This complaint was origin
ally drawn after Brombert had been
held to await the action of the grand
jury on a charge of assaulting Max
Halpern on Madison avenue In a
fight on December II.
The hearing last night opened
with Reilly questioning the conf
plainant In regard to the attack.
Brombert told the court that he was
pulled from an automobile in which
he was riding with Louis Sheath
and Monny Herman, by Kaplowitz
and given a punch In the mouth.
and that the latter was the first to
do the striking.
David Wilentz, for the defense.
started to cross-examine the COM
plainant, when Reilly objected to a
question, which resulted in the de-
fendant's lawyer requesting the
complaint be sworn before the
court. The charges in the complaint
were sworn to by Brombert. after
which Wilentz waived a grand jury
hearing. requesting the case be set
tied in the local court. Brombert's
attorney withdrew the complaint.

SCHOONER REMAINS HERE
WHILE OWNERS WRANGLE

A big four masted schooner,
"Rosalie Hull" which has been an
chored in the sound for the past
month or more has been the cause
Of many questions from those who
have seen the vessel there daily. The
vessel loaded with soft coal at the
Pennsylvania docks in South Amboy
sometime ago and since leaving that
port has been anchored In the
sound.
1t was learned today that some
trouble. has developed between the
owners of the vessel and the party
who has chartered 1t and for this
reason the owners have refused to
lie. 1t move. There are several
stories in connection with its stay
here, but 1t seems impossible to
learn which Is the correct one.
Some claim that the freight was
collected by a party who made off
with the money, while others claim
this Is not SO but admit that the
schooner Is staying here because of
some Misunderstanding concerning
the collection of the freight.
Among the vessels In local waters,
either in dry dock or waiting for re-
pairs are a four masted schooner,
five masted schooner and six masted
schooner. The six masted schooner
is waiting for the completion of the
new dry dock recently fioated here
by the Perth Amboy Dry Dock COM
pany, az the present docks OF the
company are not large enough to
accommodate the large vessel.

adequate police protection of
citizens Is needed especially In rural
communities. which through their
attitude OF stinginess have neglected
what I consider an important duty.
which is the policing of their thor
oug.hfares. What they are seeking
to do Is to load up the county with
an expense which is chargeable to
them.

common thing for the prosecutors
Office to receive a telephone call
from a distance of from fifteen to
twenty miles with a complaint that
some one Is drunk or some other
charge of a trivial character.
The absence of police protection
has attracted numerous criminals

meeting will, among other things
bring about an improvement In the
conditions in which 1 lave been
