ACTION IN CHAHCERY

Vice Chancellor John +. Foster.
sitting at Long Branch yesterday
ordered that Jacob Ruderman con-
vey a deed to property at 103 Brigh-
ton avenue to Mrs. Mary Slater of this
city. Ruderman was represented by
Attorney Harry S. Medinets and Mrs.
Slater by Senator Thomas Brown.
On January 20, 1919, Ruderman,
according to the evidence agreed to
sell to Mrs. Slater. the property in
question. In order to purchase this
property Mrs. Slater sold other

Ruderman had failed to convey the
deed claiming that his wife would
not sign it. Mrs. Slater then retained

doing when he made the agreement
and must live up to it. He required
Ruderman to sign the deed the

right is to be deducted from purchase
price, and in addition the court de-
creed that Ruderman must give Sc

ing Mrs. Slater against any claims
Mrs. Ruderman might make in the
future on account of the dover
she might have in the proper

FIND BIG MONEY
IN B00TLEGGING

BY The Associated Press.
OTTAWA, July 24-As long as
profits from bootlegging are what
they are, and the only deterrent is a
fine of 5000 or so there will be big
money in the bootlegging game and
it will be very difficult for the au-
thorities on either side of the inter-
national line TO stamp out the traffic.
That is the summary of opinions
expressed by Ottawa officials as TO
the situation regarding smuggling of
liquor from Canada TO the United
States. Further. high officials of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police say
that while they are doing all in their
power TO check infractions of the
federal laws in this respect, 1t is
really for the American authorities
to see that liquor does not reach
the thirsty souls beyond the imagi-
nary line 5000 miles long.
The situation apparently is that
from three provinces in particular
there is a large trade in bootlegging
to the United States. These are
Ontario, Quebec and British Co.
lumbia. At the same time a respec-
table quantity of fiery liquid is find-
ing its way across from the Mari
time Provinces and from Manitoba.

ordinance repeating an ordinance
recently adopted calling for the is
suance OF $225.000 bonds to pay one
half the cost of constructing a new
public school on Hall avenue. The
action by the aldermen last night

cial meeting on Thursday night OF

effect that the council be requested

that an issue of $4,000 be made
in order to pay for the preparing OF
plans and specifications and certain
preliminary work. The school board,
in their resolution, stated that the
bond issue had been authorized
with the understanding that the
new building would be built for
si50,O0O. The bids for the work
were $150,000 higher than this esti-
mate, however, and the school
board decided that it was not ex-
pedient to go ahead with the work
at this time.
The Board of School Estimate held
a special meeting in the Office of the
mayor last night at which time 1t was
decided to rescind the issuance of
the $225,000 bond issue. The passage
of the ordinance by the aldermen
was the finishing touch to the pro-
ceedings. This ordinance will come
up for its second and third readings
at the next meeting of the aldermen
on August 2.
The aldermen received a communi-
eStion from Jens w. Westergaard
last night informing the board that
